Foreword: There are some unsolved mysteries in many tombs in our country, in fact, this has a lot to do with the wisdom of the ancient working people. The design in some tombs is also refreshing, and even modern science and technology are difficult to complete. For example, the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, there are many problems that modern science cannot explain.
There are 400,000 pounds of gold in the tomb
The identity of Liu Wu, the Prince of Liang, was relatively special, and he was the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. Because his mother Empress Dou was very spoiled for him, his brother Liu Qi, the Emperor of Hanjing, also took good care of him, making Liu Wu's status at that time higher.
In the "History of the Family of Liang Xiaowang", it is recorded: "When he did not die, his wealth was innumerable, and the remaining gold in the Tibetan government was still more than 400,000 catties." ”
The 400,000 catties of gold recorded here also attracted a lot of attention in that year. In fact, in the Han Dynasty, itself was very pursuing ornate tombs, and the princes and nobles would also add a large amount of gold and silver jewelry to the burials. Liu Wu even almost took over the throne at that time, but died of a sudden illness.
There are also many opinions about the reasons for his death, the most common of which is that he died of a sudden fever, but many experts and scholars also feel that the possibility of being poisoned because of the struggle for power is also very large. After his death, Empress Dowager Dou ordered someone to bury 400,000 kilograms of gold with him, and the overall tomb was buried in full accordance with the specifications of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao excavated Liu Wu's tomb
Since ancient times, there has been a phenomenon of tomb robbery, of which the more famous one is the great tyrant Cao Cao. In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, he established a special tomb robbery organization "Captain Touching Gold", and if he wanted to become king, he needed the blessing of the army, and raising the army required military salaries and strong financial support.
Therefore, in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had already begun to carry out tomb robbery in order to have more power for himself. During this period, the most famous tomb is the tomb of King Xiao of Liang with 400,000 catties of gold. Because liu wu had historical records of his wealth when he was alive, after his death, these wealth disappeared, most likely being buried in Liu Wu's tomb by Empress Dou as a burial object.
This was also favored by Cao Cao, who was in urgent need of money, so in the "Records of History", it is also recorded that Cao Cao, in order to raise military salaries, later dug up the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, and dug out the gold and jewelry in it, and dug out a total of 72 ships of gold. It is enough to see how high the specifications of Liu Wu's burial that year were, and there were 72 ships of gold with burial goods alone.
There are a lot of puzzles left unsolved
In 1994, the tomb of Liang Xiaowang was found in Mount Mangzhong, Henan, and experts urgently began excavations. However, during the excavation process, many obvious robbery holes were also found, which also proved that the tomb was once stolen. Experts have also expressed concern about the artifacts in the tombs, and it is true that there are not many cultural relics preserved after the tombs are opened.
Among them, 400,000 catties of gold no longer exist, but some items of historical value are still left, such as the Four Gods Cloud Qi Map and some jade objects. These are also very valuable, and after excavation, experts were surprised to find that this tomb is the "Big Dipper Seven Star Tomb". However, the position of the Big Dipper has some deviations from modern times, which has led many experts to propose many new theories in astronomy.
In summary: in addition to astronomical discoveries, in fact, there are many surprising places in the tomb of Liang Xiaowang, there are many anti-theft stones in the tomb, each of which weighs 2 tons, with the technology of the time, how these stones were carried and built, but also made the experts feel puzzled, I have to say that the wisdom of the ancient working people is too powerful.
