They unearthed someone who shouldn’t have been there and he wasn’t even there.

…” The presence of this Sogdian figure in a Chinese tomb raises intriguing questions about his role. Was he a trader, a diplomat, or an influential foreigner whose presence impacted the local community? “ …

Not actually that unexpected. Sogdian traders were well known in Tang China and some were elevated to high-level officials:

"A centuries-old tomb uncovered in China reveals a stunning discovery that challenges everything we know about the Tang dynasty. Among the vibrant murals, a mysterious foreign figure stands out." I'm not sure why anyone would be "stunned" by this. I don't claim to be an expert of the Tang dynasty (or any other dynasty for that matter), but was it totally unknown up until now that the various Chinese dynasties had regular contacts with people from the West through trade and other activities? How does this "challenge EVERYTHING" we know about them?

If that’s the way the panels looked when they uncovered them then… ho lee crap! I often have to go into underground tombs and the granite or marble panels look like you’d see in a horror movie.

Was Tang a substitute for Mandarin orange juice?

P.S. Alexander is famous for, among a million other things, the Siege at Sogdian Rock, which sounds like a title for a B western
