Review:
This brief video clip starts and ends a bit abruptly, but the glimpse of the bronze weaponry identified in it is fascinating, as a perfectly preserved sword is seen in situ as it is discovered at the Emperor Chin's tomb, and ancient halberds are curated and preserved in the laboratory in China. Dr. Riegel describes the weaponry, translating for Professor Yuan Zhongyi.Video Streams:
