A European was building mausoleum 2200 years ago
Chinese scientists consider that at least one European worked at the creation of the first Chinese emperor (Qinshihuang) mausoleum. As RIA «Novosti» reports with reference to «China Daily», the DNA probe of one of the builders remains showed that he was a European. It is assumed that this European was captured and sent to construction work. The mausoleum was built 2 200 years ago. Now there is an exposition of the famous Terra Cotta Warriors. The discovery of Chinese scientists tells about much closer and  earlier contacts of China with western countries than it was assumed. RIA «Novosti»: Travel.Ru
