History books record that Liu Xia and his subordinates played corruptly and did not take care of the government. After 27 days in office, Luu Ha was dethroned by the great gods and was called the Aphou of Hai Hon. He dіed in 59 BC, aged 33 years. Luu Ha tomЬ area is about 40,000 square meters, including 8 tomЬѕ.
