Old tomb, new gloves discovered

Chinese archaeologists unearthed a 2000-year-old tomb only to find a modern pair of gloves left behind by robbers.

The tomb in Xi'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty that ruled between 206BC and 220AD, is approached by a long path 11m underground sheathed with sand walls. But when archaeologists from the Shaanxi Provincial Relics and Archaeology Institute broke in nothing was left in the main chamber, except a pair of modern gloves.
