Experts oppose the excavation of the Miaoshan Han tomb, but decades later they were looted by tomb robbers, and experts want to cry without tears

We know that since the Dingling Incident that year, the Supreme Bureau of Cultural Relics has stipulated that our archaeological team cannot take the initiative to excavate the mausoleum, unless the tomb is damaged by tomb robbers, or it is about to collapse, otherwise it is not allowed to take the initiative to excavate.

In fact, this regulation has good and bad, although it is a good protection for the tomb, but this is very good news for the tomb robbers, once upon a time many tombs were stolen tomb thieves to get ahead of the first, some large tombs are obviously found by the archaeological team first, but they were given a hand by the tomb thieves, so it is indeed very painful.

The tomb to be introduced below is so, it is not a general tomb, it is the Royal Tomb of the Han Dynasty, the identity of the tomb owner is extremely prominent, after being discovered by the archaeological team in the late 80s of the last century, it was trying to excavate, it was strongly opposed by archaeologists, after all, this royal tomb was not stolen, so now excavation is undoubtedly illegal regulations, helplessly at that time the Cultural Relics Bureau could only protect this royal tomb.

The location is in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, the local people of Yangzhou should know Miaoshan, Tuanshan and Zhoushan, these three mountains are very famous, although the altitude is only less than 40 meters, but once Tuanshang this side has dug out a royal tomb, the excavated cultural relics are amazing.

Just after the excavation of the royal tomb on the regiment, the archaeological team focused on another mountain, that is, the temple mountain, the archaeological team believes that there may also be an ancient tomb in the temple mountain, in order to quickly find out the truth of the facts, the Yangzhou archaeological team also specially invited archaeologists and geologists to investigate, and the final results confirmed that there were indeed tombs under the temple mountain.

Moreover, the archaeological detector tells us that the tomb under the temple mountain is not an ordinary tomb, and it is likely that there is a yellow intestine inscription, which shows that the tomb under the temple mountain is likely to be the tomb of a certain prince of the Han Dynasty.

However, just when the archaeological team wanted to excavate, the experts naturally stopped it, after all, the Miaoshan Han Tomb at that time did not find any traces of destruction, so naturally it is impossible to take the initiative to excavate now, and the archaeological team also understands this truth, so it can only be temporarily protected.

But the tomb robber is a tomb robber, where there is a tomb can be smelled immediately, they soon know that there is a tomb under the temple mountain, and the archaeological team can not dig for the time being, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the tomb robbers.
