Wu Zetian's tomb was excavated, and it was found that the funerary treasures were at least a few hundred tons, and there were many important harvests
Tang Qianling is the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong of The Zhou Dynasty, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. It is also the mausoleum of the only two emperors in China. It was also the only mausoleum of the Tang emperor that had not been stolen and excavated. It is known as the "Crown of Tang Tombs".
Archaeologists also cleaned up the north gate site, unearthed stone lions, stone horses, stone benches, stone tigers and other stone carvings, among them, the discovery of stone tigers also made people re-understand the new information provided by the combination of stone carvings outside the north gate of the Tang Tombs, which is the first time that the layout of the lower palace site has obtained basic information.
Moreover, the investigation showed that the ruins of the Qianling Lower Palace were huge in scale, and two rammed walls were found inside and outside. The outer city is square in shape and is about 380 meters long on all four sides. In addition, many rammed earth sites have been found between the inner and outer cities, which is the place to understand the system of imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty. Information was also provided.
In addition, archaeologists speculate that 70% of the tombs in the tombs should be the most precious treasures of the Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian were alive, they were in the midst of the Tang Dynasty. When Emperor Gaozong was buried, the value of the tomb accounted for one-third of the country's finances.
More than 20 years later, Wu Zetian collapsed, and one-third of the country's gold and silver jewelry was brought into Qianling.
Before Tang Gaozong's death, according to his last words, he buried all his favorite calligraphy and paintings. Many experts speculate that Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", a top national treasure, is likely to be hidden in the Qianling Tomb. Therefore, it is estimated that Qianling has at least 500 tons of treasures.
