Archaeology is a sacred and rigorous work, and it is precisely because of these archaeologists that we can learn the greatest possible way about the changes in ancient history and discover the treasures left by those who came before us. However, when archaeologists explore ancient tombs, they often find traces of tomb robbers, who steal and sell these valuable treasures for their own selfish interests, causing immeasurable losses to China's archaeological community.
Tomb robbery has been this kind of behavior since ancient times, to modern times, a large number of ancient tombs in the discovery, there are traces of tomb robbers patronized, we can only through the tomb interior inscriptions and wall carving murals to explore the identity of the tomb owner, learned about the social situation at that time, to the archaeologists brought a lot of inconvenience. Heavy rain fell in Hubei Province, and the continuous erosion of this torrential rain caused the land to be soft, and an ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty was accidentally unearthed.
Local archaeologists immediately led a team to excavate it protectively after learning of this incident, and if it is not protected at the first time, it is likely to be targeted by some tomb robbers, resulting in irreparable damage. However, when the archaeologists dug deeper into it, they found a large number of robbery holes, which meant that the mausoleum had been stolen before.
Sure enough, when the experts entered the burial chamber, the interior was already empty, and even the coffin was missing, which showed how rampant the tomb robbers were. However, archaeologists did not rush to leave, but chose to continue to investigate to see if there were some new discoveries. Suddenly, a creeping creature suddenly appeared from the inside of the tomb, startling the archaeological team and fixing their eyes on the living creature "Millennium Tortoise" in the tomb? The turtle crawled slowly and gradually came to the archaeologist's side. Why this turtle appeared, there were two very different voices within the team.
The first theory is that this turtle was brought in by tomb robbers at that time to determine whether the internal air was poisonous, and after stealing the cultural relics, it did not care that it was left here, and lived for so many years, after all, the turtle has a long lifespan. The second theory is that the turtle accidentally fell into the robbery cave and has not died due to the special environment inside the burial chamber. The two statements are more convincing, after all, according to scientific research, the lifespan of a turtle is at most more than 50 years, and there will be no situation of surviving for thousands of years.
