In the end, the owner was a royal female magician, or a sick princess who passed away, or both cases, made people curious. But sure, true identity will be answered in the future.

On March 8, 2003, quarry workers were working at the foot of Turki Mountain, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (China). During construction, a worker suddenly discovered red stone. Intuitively, this person feels that this is not the usual type of rock in this mountain. After a while, it was confirmed that this could be man-made.

On March 10, a group of stone miners came here and continued to see this stone, suspecting that it was a thousand year old tomb .

According to the initial assessment, experts said this could be a tomb from the Lieu dynasty (905 - 1125). The measuring position of the tomb can determine a length of about 30m, buried 10 meters deeper than the ground. This tomb looks like a house made of stone, inside a coffin, 1.5m high, 2.6m wide and 20cm deep.

After the study, the archaeological team asked 8 workers to insert the cord into the gap in the tomb to find a way to bring the coffin outside. Something worth saying, in front of the coffin there is a wooden door. Experts who have used flashlights to see through, only see an empty space. On the visible coffin, the phoenix figure is clearly sculpted, proving that the owner of the tomb is an honorable person and has a rich life.

Looking at the coffin in the tomb, experts estimate that this is a very valuable coffin, made of cedar wood, every stroke of the coffin is sharp. Not long after, the entire coffin was transported out and placed in the laboratory at a certain temperature.

Opening the lid of the coffin, archaeological experts found the tomb lying on its back, with a golden crown on its head and on a faint metal pillow, the naked eye could see.

After more than 15 years of excavating an ancient tomb, the identity of the grave is still a mysterious number. However, according to experts, based on the surrounding objects, it was judged and speculated that the grave owner might be a royal female magician , who died around 30 to 35 years old. But that is only speculation, there is no basis to confirm true identity.

It is known that after the remains were cleaned, archaeologists discovered that in the tomb the tomb was black and a large amount of mercury was found in the abdominal cavity. This has caused experts headaches because it is not known whether mercury is in the body before death or after the mercury is removed. At present, advanced scientific technology facilities have not been able to give an accurate judgment about the cause of death of this tomb owner.

Many theories suggest that the grave owner has been poisoned but many believe that when the grave dies, the family members pour mercury to prevent the body from decaying. When the Dan Dan used to practice pouring mercury into their bodies after dying to prevent them from rotting, this was also found in previous archaeological excavations.

Besides, the analysis of skulls, teeth, teeth joints, limbs, can assess the grave owner of the Khiet ethnic group, living in North Asia, Mongolia, aged 30-35, about 1.59m.

Some experts speculate that the identity of the grave owner may be the daughter of Queen Thu Luc Binh (wife of Lieu Thai To - the first Emperor of Khiet Dan). From the magnificent silk costumes that the grave owner wears with excavated items such as gold lacquer and large amounts of gold and silver, precious glassware, people believe that this person is definitely a woman.
