China's Forgotten Emperor

SINOPSIS

For 1,300 years, Wu Zetian - China's only female Emperor - has been remembered as a callous tyrant who brought calamity to China. New discoveries paint a very different picture of her reign. As archaeologists excavate the tombs, palaces, fortresses and workshops from the Tang era, all have begun to give up their secrets. Using the latest archaeological and scientific techniques, researchers are piecing together the new, true story of China's 'empress of all evil' and how Emperor Wu was in fact the woman who made the Dark Ages China a super power.
