Tomb of Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms Period unearthed?

  According to various news sources, archeologists in China have recently excavated and unearthed of what believed to be the tomb of the Famous Wei Grand Chancellor Cao Cao. They found more than 250 articles, made of gold, silver, pottery, 59 engraved stone plates logging the name and amount of the articles buried in the tomb. Seven of the plates logged weapons believed to be used by the Cao Cao. Known and famous for his cunning plans , ruthless military principles and Machiavellian tactics but his career has been described in the novel as of a villian rather than an upright general who played a large part in uniting China in the third century.
 The govenrment of Henan and Anyang are planning to exhibit the relics found to the public, as an avid an of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel (San Goku Shi  in Japanese) I can't wait for them to be on show so I could see them with my own eyes.
