    Likely Tomb of Ancient Chinese General Found

    BEIJING (Dec. 28) -- Chinese archaeologists have found what could be the tomb of Cao Cao, a skillful general and ruler in the 3rd century who was later depicted in popular folklore as the archetypal cunning politician.

    Archaeological officials say Cao's 8,000-square-foot tomb complex, with a 130-foot passage leading to an underground chamber, was found in Xigaoxue, a village near the ancient capital of Anyang in central Henan province, according to the official China Daily newspaper.

    Lu Bu


    Cao Cao

    Interesting characters. I assume "pimpest" means "cool" or "neat-o" yes?
