Archaeologists have discovered Greek mythology engravings on an 8th century stone coffin in China.
The Tang Dynasty sarcophagus of Empress Wu Huifei is engraved with European-looking warriors, one of which is believed to be Zeus, the "father of gods and men." Scientists believe the rare sarcophagus is evidence of cultural exchange on the ancient Silk Road.
