When archaeologists opened the tomb of Liu He, the Haihun ruler of the Han Dynasty, they discovered a trove of money. This included 5,330,000 ancient copper coins, weighing approximately 10 tons, and 358 gold cakes.
A distant relative of the royal family, Liu He was emperor of the Han Dynasty for 27 days.
However, he couldn't do the job. He loved music and chess, but didn't really know how to be an emperor.
Unsurprisingly, he was quickly overthrown, and moved south with his treasures.
He died in his 30s from eating too much cantaloupe.
