Hubei excavation of ancient tombs is strange, archaeological team after investigation, found a "thousand years" turtle

In ancient China, people's feudal thinking was deeply rooted, and under the influence of the silent thought of moisturizing things, people's admiration for ghosts and gods reached a very high level. Therefore, at that time, many people were very concerned about their own life and death, and even planned how to dispose of their bodies after their deaths, so tomb culture was very popular in China.

From the beginning, the tomb was limited to the royal family, and gradually all powerful or powerful officials and nobles began to carry out tombs. Because these people had a lot of wealth and inheritance during their lives, they knew that after death, this wealth would not disappear, and there was a possibility that it would be stolen by others, and they believed that if they still had treasure with them after death, they could have it in the next life. Therefore, even if they die, they cannot let the treasure leave them half a step, and will order their families and cronies to put the treasure together with their coffins and never see the light of day. Gradually, this culture spread to the grass-roots people, and the idea of "the dead are great" slowly evolved, and people had great respect for the dead and would express their inner awe by building solemn burial chambers.

The emergence of such "customs" has also created a new "profession", that is, tomb robbers. This special profession first appeared in the Three Kingdoms period, when people were given the idea of a tomb in order to solve the problem of insufficient food and grass caused by perennial wars. However, the generally powerful people have long expected such a situation, so in order to prevent such a situation when building the tomb, some organs will be designed in advance, and if someone breaks into the tomb, there will be many organs waiting for him. However, there are still some "dead soldiers" who dare to take risks and make a bet with the owner of the tomb, but if they lose, they may pay for their lives. Until modern times, the tomb robbery activities are still endless, and there are various organs and scenes for the tomb, which makes people marvel, and recently an ancient tomb in Hubei has a strange thing.

In a small rural area in Hubei Province, when a farmer was cultivating the land, he stumbled upon a large area of stone bricks in the field, which were arranged in an orderly manner, like the roof of a house, and then he realized that it seemed to be a cemetery. So he reported the situation to the relevant local departments, and the departments that received the situation report immediately organized experts to go to the local area for investigation. Because of the continuous rainfall, the soil on the surface here has been washed away and scattered, and the clearly visible blue stone bricks are neatly arranged, and experts can see at a glance that this is indeed an ancient tomb, but due to rainwater deposition, it is difficult to open the door of the tomb without damage. Therefore, a group of professional archaeological teams were formed from all over the country to form a professional archaeological team and began to excavate this ancient tomb.

As the ancient tomb reveals the whole picture from the ground little by little, people are attracted by this quaint building, not only lamenting the wisdom of the ancients. This ancient tomb has only one door, that is to say, under normal circumstances, there is only one entrance and exit to enter and exit the tomb, and it is buried in the ground all year round, which means that the owner of the tomb wants to use the method of lack of oxygen to make the tomb robbers have no return, so that they suffocate and die. Just when the experts wanted to open the door of the burial chamber, suddenly there was some noise in the corner of the tomb, and everyone was startled, thinking that they had accidentally touched the mechanism of life. When people calmed down, they took a closer look and found a huge clump of water weeds, and it was actually moving slowly, people did not know where it came from, only that it might be a living thing. The bold team members went forward to investigate the situation for a while, and then explained to everyone: Don't be afraid, this is a turtle.

Turtles? How can there be a living turtle in this ancient tomb, according to expert calculations, this ancient tomb has at least two thousand years of history, and a turtle cannot survive for a thousand years no matter how long it is, which makes many people feel very surprised. In ancient times, it is not surprising that there are living creatures buried with the deceased, and it is not surprising that it is a turtle, which may be that the owner of the tomb loves the turtle and brings it into his own burial chamber to bury with him, but no living creature can live so long. Although the turtle was a symbol of longevity and a sacred beast in ancient times, it was only a legend, and now science has confirmed that even a "divine beast" cannot violate the laws of scientific nature. The turtle that appeared in this ancient tomb has been covered with moss and aquatic weeds, and experts cannot analyze its specific age, and there is still a certain gap between its appearance and that of modern turtles, so the origin of this turtle is still a mystery.
