In ancient times, the wind of thick burial was prevalent, whether it was the princes and nobles or the people of Li, it was all the same, and this custom began to be popular since the ancient Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has continued for thousands of years. Ancient dignitaries were prosperous and wealthy before their lives, and after their deaths, they put many treasures or antiquities into coffins as funerary objects to show their identity. But this has given rise to a new profession, that is, tomb robbers. The next thing to talk about is the discovery of the tomb of a founding emperor, and the location of the discovery is still a bit unbelievable.
In the 1980s, a very bizarre thing happened in Hebei, an old farmer built a pig pen that strangely lost its pigs, but there was no trace of people breaking in and stealing pigs outside. One morning, a farmer in Hebei Province went to the pigsty as usual to feed the pigs, but the old farmer found something wrong when he arrived at the pigsty. The number of pigs seems to be a few less, and a careful count finds that this is true, but there is no trace of theft outside, and the old farmer can only choose to call the police.
The local police came to the old farmer's pigsty to investigate, and accidentally found that there was a very secret black hole in the pigsty. And this dark hole is most likely a robbery hole. The police contacted the local cultural protection department, and it was not long before the archaeological team and archaeologists arrived at the scene, and after investigation, they learned the truth behind the pig loss. After instrument exploration, it was found that the bottom of the pigsty was hollow, and it was most likely a burial chamber, which made the experts who came to investigate happy, but this cave may be the work of the previous tomb robbers.
The archaeological team immediately carried out a protective excavation, but after going down, everyone's heart was half cold. This ancient curtain has been moved by tomb robbers to the point where nothing remains, except for the frescoes and inscriptions on the walls of the tomb. From the inscription, it can be known that this is the founding emperor of Northern Qi during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Emperor Wenxuan, Gao Yang. This ancient tomb should have had extremely precious funerary items, but now it is empty and very desolate.
Fortunately, there is an extremely exquisite mural in the burial chamber, which is of great historical research and cultural value, and finally did not let the archaeologists run in vain. The founding emperor who was once in the limelight could not live in peace after death, not only the tomb was stolen, but also slept under a dilapidated pigsty, which could not help but make people sigh!
