China's Warrior Queen

Around 1200 BC, Fu Hao, the daughter of a leading lord, was sent to the Shang capital of Dayishang for an arranged marriage to the dynasty's ruler, Wu Ding.

But how did she do it? Using recent archeological discoveries and artifacts found in her tomb, we piece together the story of a remarkable warrior queen from China's first dynasty.
