  2. 22:15 This is a pretty bad error in this documentary…you sure you meant 207 AD?? Cao Cao was already the strongest military force, imperial chancellor and de facto leader of the entire northern part – he would definitely not have a "fledgling army" at that time.

    I do like the production, visuals, and experts presented in this piece about this amazing archaeological find. But the narrative and presentation of historical facts is very, very limited and biased toward Cao Cao's favor. That's not to say I'm denying his accomplishments, but due diligence would have been completely sharing the context of Cao Cao's rise to power. It would make the documentary way to long though, and ultimately the focus is on the tomb itself, which I really enjoyed.
