A large Western Han tomb was found in Jiangxi, and the archaeological team excavated for 5 years and excavated 478 pieces of national weight
In the early spring of 2011, when the earth began to warm up, something terrible happened in a village in Datangping Township, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. According to local villagers, several villagers found robbery holes on the nearby mountain, which means that there is a high probability that there are ancient tombs on the mountain. They immediately called the police, and the staff of the relevant departments rushed to the scene one after another, and a five-year excavation work began.
The civilization on the land of China has a long history of five thousand years, during which it is unknown how many dynasties have risen and fallen, so it is not surprising to dig up an ancient tomb coldly. The amazing thing is that the excavation of this tomb lasted for five years, which is still relatively rare in archaeological history, and it also means that the tomb found in Jiangxi is of great excavation value.
It is true that after expert investigation, the history of this ancient tomb is very long, and it is roughly judged that it was built in the Western Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty was one of the most powerful periods of the Chinese nation and one of the dynasties that existed for a long time. We all know that cultural relics are the first-hand precious materials for the study of historical facts, so what surprises will this huge Western Han Tomb found in Jiangxi bring to archaeologists?
This tomb is the famous Tomb of the Marquis of Haixia, and in the course of five years of excavation, archaeologists have cleared out one precious cultural relic after another, and there are as many as 478 pieces that can be called national treasures. In short, the scale of this tomb is very rare, the number of cultural relics, and the well-preserved tomb is very rare, and in the years of cleanup work, the archaeological team also showed the first-class excavation and protection level in China at that time, during which a large number of high-tech technologies such as geophysical exploration, electronic total station network measurement and control, etc., which has made great contributions to the development of archaeological technology in China.
Let's talk about the owner of this tomb, Liu He, who has lived a very wonderful life with great ups and downs in his life. Liu He was originally the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, so he was crowned king at the age of five, he could have lived well in his fiefdom like ordinary princes, but he did not think that when the emperor of the dynasty Emperor Han Zhao died at the age of eighteen, and the Han Zhao Emperor had no children, he was greeted by the generals and ministers to the palace to become the emperor, because he did not meet the Gaozu Temple, so he got the title of "Emperor of Han". What is even more interesting is that Liu He, the emperor, was deposed after only twenty-seven days.
However, although Liu He's reign was extremely short, this did not prevent him from doing bad things, and it is reported that during Liu He's reign, the emissaries sent by the palace to various places were endless, all of which collected good things and good treasures for him. Less than a month after Liu He was deposed, the new emperor also ordered him to be imprisoned for eleven years, after regaining his freedom, Liu He could not forget for a long time, still had illusions about the throne, the current emperor had to reduce him to the marquis of a thousand households, perhaps unable to withstand these blows, Liu He died of depression at a young age, and then there was this tomb of the Marquis of Haixia.
In addition to the shocking cultural relics unearthed in the excavation of the tomb of Hai Di Hou, the amount of gold and silver in the tomb also makes all archaeologists stunned, and the gold cakes and beautiful horseshoe golden toe gold that can be seen everywhere are dazzling, and it seems that the hai hou before his death has really reached the point of being rich and invincible.
Later, experts analyzed that the reason why there were so many treasures in the tomb may be related to one thing, that is, the mysterious death of Liu He's sons. It turned out that after Liu He's death, his two sons also died inexplicably, so that the Hai Xiahou family would be extinct. According to the rules of the time, this fiefdom did not exist, and the wealth of the Hai Xiahou family had to be buried with it.
The discovery of the Tomb of the Marquis of Haixia has a very important position in the archaeological history of our country, which also provides a large number of first-hand materials for the study of history. Fortunately, there have been earthquakes in the place where the tomb is located for thousands of years, which has caused the tomb to accumulate water seriously, which has not allowed the tomb robbers to succeed.
