CHINA - Approximately 3,000
Buddha statues were unearthed during an archaeological excavation in Handan, located southwest in Hebei province of China. The archaeologists from CASS said the statues are believed to be over 1,500 years old and date back to the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties (AD 534-AD 577). The discovery is believed to be the largest of its kind since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, an archaeologist with CASS told reporters in late March. [
