Archaeologists explore the secrets of history from ancient tombs, to restore the dynasty and living environment of the tomb owner, so that the world can understand what the life of our ancestors was like. But if you come across a coffin that says: The one who opens is dead, do you dare to open it? Chinese archaeologists found such a tomb in a construction site in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and when it was time to open the coffin in the tomb, the archaeologists were surprised, and it turned out that there were four big characters written on the coffin: The opener is dead. Although archaeologists are all materialists, it is rare to see such an obvious hint. The archaeologists still had the courage to open it, and the result was unexpected...
After the death of the ancients, in order to allow the deceased to continue to enjoy the treatment in the yang, the deceased will be buried with gold, silver, treasures, and various utensils, so that the deceased can continue to enjoy in the hades. In order to prevent the occurrence of tomb robberies, some tomb owners will secretly create mechanisms in the tomb to resist invading tomb robbers. Such a tomb seen in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, on which it is written that the opener is dead makes people shudder, what is in the tomb, let people open it will die, is it sensational or actually so. When archaeologists opened the coffin, there was no so-called mechanism, but a fine coffin interior. The owner of the tomb was a nine-year-old child, which can't help but feel very strange, why did a nine-year-old child die? In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that ancient medicine is not developed, and if a child suffers from a stubborn disease, he is likely to die because of incurable diseases. Even in the homes of officials and eunuchs, there was nothing they could do.
Judging from the funeral items of the owner of the tomb, the girl's family should be the family of the official eunuch. In the written materials, the girl's father is a local assassin, and her grandfather worked with Emperor Wen of Sui to quell the wars of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which can be said to have enjoyed the gifts of the state for generations. Although the coffin is only three square meters, there are more than 200 funerary items, which is really surprising. The reason for the girl's death, no relevant information was found in the coffin, and it is estimated that it should have a lot to do with the disease.
Archaeologists cleaned out the funerary items in the coffin one by one, although after thousands of years, the funerary items in the coffin, especially the gold and silver utensils, are still well preserved, which has great reference significance for the study of the history and culture of the early Sui Dynasty. The words "the opener is dead" may be the death of his parents and poor children, and they do not want the tomb robbers to destroy their underground resting places and scare the tomb robbers with alarmism. In fact, there is no powerful mechanism in the coffin, just an ordinary tomb.
In ancient China, some of the more well-known tombs basically have organs as a security guarantee for the tombs, such as the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, etc., these tombs are royal tombs, and naturally will try their best to keep it complete. But for modern people, the excavation of the tomb is not only to obtain the funerary products in the tomb, but also to realize the study of ancient history and culture through the funerary products, and the funerary products may be valuable, but the value of archaeological research is priceless. Although this nine-year-old girl is a family of officials and eunuchs, she may not have the conditions for the production of organs to protect tombs, so she can only warn future generations of tomb robbers through language and writing, but when encountering modern scientific archaeology teams, such language becomes meaningless.
