Archeologists who have spent two years studying the ruins of the Epang Palace (west of Xi'an) have concluded that it was never finished, and legends of the "Palace Fire" are false. Legend has it that Xiang Yu, a nobleman attempting to overthrow the authority of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.- 206 B.C.), set Epang Palace on fire. Since this cannot be the case, archeologists have suggested the palace Xiang Yu destroyed was in fact Xianyang palace. Epang Palace was built during the Qin Dynasty, but it turns out the builders never got further than the front hall. There is no evidence that other parts of it were destroyed. (Xinhua)
