In ancient times, there was a kind of hanging coffin funeral, which triggered countless people to solve the mystery of it, and on the cliffs of Dragon tiger mountain, there were countless hanging coffins of different sizes! The problem is that ancient, technologically backward, how to place a heavy coffin on a cliff has become an inexplicable mystery!
Longhu Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism in Jiangxi Province, with 99 peaks and 24 rock walls in the area, and the environment is quiet.
There are many cliff tombs in Hushan Xianshuiyan, and many coffins have a history of more than 2600 years, which were built by the ancient Yue people in the Warring States period.
In 1979, archaeologists excavated and sorted out the Xianshuiyan hanging coffin group, unearthed 18 Eagle Rock tombs, cleaned 37 coffins, and 16 more complete human skeletons.
These are all cultural relics belonging to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Guixi Cliff Tomb sorted out more than 200 cultural relics, including earthen pottery, weaving tools, musical instruments, etc., and there were 124 pieces of earthen pottery, which was exquisitely made, which shows that the level of handicraft production at that time was already very high.
Judging from the funerary items unearthed from the hanging coffin of Longhu Mountain, the owners of the coffins are all ancient Yue people, on June 13, 1989, experts used imitation ancient winchs and so on to reenact the process of hanging coffins by the Yue people more than 2,000 years ago on the cliff wall, but it is still impossible to reasonably explain many mysteries.
In 1997, Longhushan took out 300,000 yuan as a bounty to solve the mystery of the hanging coffin, and in 2005 it increased by 100,000 yuan. 16 years have passed, countless archaeologists, explorers, have gathered in the LonghuShan burial area, reasoning, argumentation, experimentation, all want to solve the mystery of the hanging coffin, LonghuShan received more than 10,000 letters, after careful evaluation by experts, no reasonable and feasible cracking plan was found.
The hanging coffins of the cliffs of Longhu Mountain have become a mystery of the millennium, the most bizarre of which is the hanging coffin located on the cliff of Xianshui Rock, on the cliffs thousands of meters above the ground, more than 200 hanging coffin cliff tombs are scattered among them, the lowest 10 meters from the water surface, and the highest is 80 meters.
The archaeological team in Jiangxi Province sorted out 18 hanging coffin cliff tombs, excavated 37 coffins, and a large number of precious cultural relics, many of which have a history of more than 2600 years, most of which belong to the Spring and Autumn Period of BC and the Warring States Period, but there is still no reasonable answer to the specific burial method. The imitation of the ancient wooden winch, jointly proposed by American experts and the Chinese side, has not given a perfect explanation.
The hanging coffin is not put together with the whole coffin, but before the person dies, it is excavated on the predetermined cliff wall, a table is built with wood, the coffin is placed first, and after the death of the person, the body is put into the tomb, sealed intact, and then the wooden platform is dismantled and the hanging coffin is left.
