Excavation continues on what is believed to be the largest Xiongnu noble tomb ever discovered in Eurasia, located in the Heni province of Mongolia. The site, at Duurlig Nars, has been under investigation since 2006 through a joint Mongolian-South Korean “Mon-Sol” project. The tomb, designated No. 160, measures 80 meters in length with a main structure of 40x40 meters and is potentially linked to the ruling elite and even the Shanuy (Xiongnu ruler). The tomb's structure resembles an inverted pyramid, descending in layers over 15 meters deep. Recent discoveries include remains of a chariot decorated with bronze and painted in red and black. Mongolian President U.Khurelsukh visited the site, expressing gratitude to the research team and highlighting the collaborative "Mon-Sol" project as a symbol of friendship between Mongolia and Korea. The site is part of a larger Xiongnu burial complex designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
