Description
The Eastern Zhou Martyred Horse Pit is located in the western part of the village of Hetiatao in Linzi District, Zibo City. The owner of the tomb was Duke Jing of Qi, the 25th king after Jiang Tai Gong, who reigned for 58 years and was one of the longest rulers of Qi. The tomb is 26 metres from north to south and 23 metres from east to west. The outer chamber is located in the middle of the tomb, built of natural stone, 8 metres long from north to south, 7 metres wide from east to west and 5 metres deep. The tomb was robbed in its early years and no burial goods remain, except for the surrounding horse martyrdom pits, which are mostly intact.
