Remember the previous all-night watching "Notes on the Tomb Robber" and "Ghost Blowing Lights", these two types of adventure treasure hunting novels have always made people obsessed, the three uncles of the Southern Sect have always been the Internet gods admired by the author, and their imagination and brain holes are really breathtaking, and the current film and television dramas of this genre are also very hot, all say that art comes from life, is the nine-story demon tower real in reality?
In Qinghai Province, Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture near the hot water township, there are nearly 200 ancient tombs, these are the Tang Dynasty Tubo nobles large tomb group, so many years, there are always waves of tomb robbers come to find treasure, basically excavated the tombs here, and countless precious cultural relics have disappeared.
However, in these tomb groups, there is one of the largest and most peculiar shapes of an ancient tomb, the tomb robbers have no way to take it, they just dug the top of some places, they directly gave up, there is a legend in the mouth of the local Tibetans, saying that when King Gesar led the people to defeat the demons, the demons were driven away, but left a devil cave full of gold and silver jewels, the cave is divided into nine layers, once excavated there will be demons, so the locals call it "nine-story demon tower".
It is precisely because of this legend, in 1996, when archaeologists discovered this large tomb, they found that it was well preserved and did not suffer substantial damage, in order to do a good job in the protection of the tomb, the archaeological team conducted a preliminary survey that year, and the academic community called it "Blood Wei No. 1 Tomb".
The tomb has nine floors, reaching a staggering height of 33 meters, every other meter there is a layer of neatly arranged through the mound of wood, after the archaeological team cleared the top two layers, unearthed a large number of animal bones, as well as silk, gold coins and lacquer pottery and other cultural relics, one of which is a brocade, on which is the Persian Sassanid Dynasty Brahmin style, which is the only one in the world, which is a rare treasure.
There are so many rare cultural relics just dug to the two floors, there must be more treasures underneath, but at this time the archaeological work suddenly stopped, and did not continue to excavate, the local legend said that there were many strange and strange events, which led to experts to stop archaeological work.
Of course, this has hearsay components, for which experts explained, said that further down the tomb structure is very complex, and the air is very thin, digging down may cause irreversible damage to the tomb, so it is stopped in time, and the tomb group is protected, but the tomb robbers do not think so, the 90s is the most rampant time for tomb robbery, such a large tomb group, there will always be people who will take the opportunity to steal a wave, some with explosives, and directly open bulldozers to steal the tomb.
In order to protect the tomb will not be destroyed, the relevant departments of Qinghai Province have carried out a number of crackdowns, which has allowed the tomb robbers to restrain, and in 2013, some people have taken risks in order to rob the tomb again, in fact, the gang headed by Liu Sanxun has more than ten pieces of cultural relics stolen, sold 65,000 yuan, and the remaining cultural relics are given as gifts, the case was broken in 2017, and the criminals were all arrested.
As a result, in November 2017, another group of people targeted the Blood Wei No. 1 Tomb, they had a clear division of labor, some people paid for it, some people were responsible for technology, and some people were responsible for finding buyers, they dug a 9-meter-deep robbery hole on the east side of the Blood Wei No. 1 Tomb, stole a total of 646 precious cultural relics, sold for up to 180 million yuan, fortunately the case was broken the following year, and all 646 cultural relics were recovered.
In fact, in the novels of tomb robbery, this gold lieutenant often fights with organs, monsters and demons, but in reality, the damage caused by tomb robbers is immeasurable, and often many cultural relics with great research value are stolen and disappear without a trace, and the historical information that has not yet been discovered can no longer be cracked, which is quite breathtaking.
