During the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor advocated filial piety, which was not only reflected in filial piety when their parents were alive, but also in the fact that their parents let them walk beautifully after they were gone. And the scenery of letting parents die after leaving has two main manifestations.
The first is that the number of people who send funerals is large, the incense is burned, and the paper money is burned, and the other is to give parents a lot of valuable things to bury, and this is also very much related to the ancient Chinese thick burial culture.
It is precisely for this reason that the burial grounds of the Western Han Dynasty are the most abundant, and they are also the cemeteries that tomb robbers keep an eye on. According to statistics, there are few Western Han tombs excavated by Chinese archaeologists that have not been excavated by stolen tomb thieves.
If archaeologists find that the tomb stolen tomb thieves have excavated no more than three times, archaeologists will feel very happy, because the Western Han Tombs have a large number of burial objects, generally speaking, as long as the tomb robbers patronize less than three times, there must be treasures that have not been exhumed, then archaeologists will have new discoveries.
In the mid-1980s, an ancient tomb was discovered in Lion Mountain, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and archaeologists suspected that this ancient tomb was a Western Han tomb when they did not excavate this ancient tomb, because many Western Han tombs had been found in this area, and many treasures had been excavated.
However, this Western Han tomb has been patronized many times by tomb robbers, and when it enters the tomb, there are broken pottery, bronze and other fragments everywhere, which can be described as a mess.
Seeing such a phenomenon, archaeologists are angry and distressed, angry that the destructive excavation of tomb robbers has caused the country to lose huge wealth, and the heartache is that many meaningful historical relics have been destroyed and difficult to restore, for archaeologists, cultural relics are damaged in front of themselves, but they are powerless is a particularly uncomfortable thing.
Although seeing the chaos in the tomb, archaeologists still suppress all bad emotions and quietly investigate, because tomb robbers lack professional knowledge, often look away, and abandon some valuable objects, archaeologists often pick up leaks.
Therefore, during this period, archaeologists hoped to find something in the tomb of this Western Han prince with a fluke mentality. The final outcome did not disappoint the archaeologists, who found a piece of clothing in the tomb of the prince.
The reason why the tomb robbers did not take away this dress, later learned that it was disgusted with dirty, they did not expect that in the end, the clothes were found and taken away by experts, and only then did they know that this dress was worth 200 million.
This so-called sacred robe is the golden robe, which has also appeared in other Han tombs earlier, mainly composed of gold wire and jade pieces, which are used to wrap the body. The Han believed that the use of such clothes to wrap the body was beneficial to preserving the body and slowing down the decay of the body.
The golden robe in the tomb of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, shocked the world after it was discovered, it was made of 2398 jade pieces in series, and the gold wisps found in the tomb of the prince this time had a total of 4248 pieces, which should be more precious than the golden robe in the tomb of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, but the tomb robber stole the gold thread of the golden robe.
According to archaeologists, the tomb robbers do not have a certain understanding of the jade pieces, the jade pieces become dirty in the dirt, and relatively heavy, so the tomb robbers did not take it away, and the gold thread was light in value, so the gold thread was taken away.
But archaeologists say that jade pieces are worth more than gold threads, because people's bodies are not flat, so if you want to make jade pieces into clothes, you still need to polish some jade pieces, and the production process is more difficult.
According to archaeologists' speculations, the gold robe that was taken away from the gold thread is also worth 200 million, and if the tomb robber hears that he has left out the most valuable thing in the tomb, he does not know whether he will regret that his intestines are green.
