It has been observed bt experts that virtually all tombs in China have been raided, thereby denying the country of its illustrious and unique heritage.
Grave robbing which is now stamping its reign is a way for many to get rich quick ever since China embarked on economic reform in the 1980s.
The government is now vowing to crackdown harder on the tomb raiders.
Culture officials are devoting more manpower, money and security to the sensitive sites - and say they will attempt to trace the artefacts as they change hands around the world.

Fright! A mummified body is seen at a graveyard after a Qing Dynasty Official's Tomb was robbed
