Hey there, explorers! 🌏 Have you ever heard of the “Pyramids of the East”? Well, get ready to be amazed! China’s Xixia Imperial Tombs have just been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List! 🎉
Between the 11th and 13th centuries, a group of people called the Tanguts built an incredible kingdom in northwest China. This was known as the Xixia Dynasty, and they left behind some awesome treasures! 😮
