A strange ancient tomb, once stolen 18 times, but no one can come out, in the middle of the night there will be a scream in the tomb, the sealing soil of the ancient tomb is not a common rammed earth, but buried with quicksand, what kind of tomb is this?
One day in 2005, in the back mountains of Guozhuang Village in Henan Province, every midnight, the sound of people screaming, this sound is still very loud, the people in the village can not sleep at all. The people of the nearby villages were really unbearable, and the next day many villagers came to the back mountain where the screams were heard to check. When the villagers came to the place where the sound was heard, they found that there were many robbery holes on the ground, and then the villagers realized that this may be a tomb robber digging an ancient tomb, since it is a tomb robber, then what is the scream? Could it be that the screams were heard by the grave robbers? Thinking of this, the villagers also have a fear of this mysterious tomb, originally there were still people who wanted to go down the robbery cave to check the situation, and no one dared to do it, at this time, the villagers' only thought was to quickly call the police.
After the villagers called the police, police and archaeologists quickly arrived at the scene. After the arrival of the archaeologists, they first made a survey around the tomb. This does not matter, a look of shock, after a turn of the expert found that there are robbery holes everywhere, they roughly checked, the ancient tomb around the robbery cave reached as many as 18. What kind of tomb is this? It attracted so many grave robbers. Judging from the situation at the scene, the cultural relics in the tomb may have been stolen long ago. Because so many robbery caves are not a period, if it is a period of robbery, there may be pottery and porcelain and other cultural relics in the tomb, after all, the tomb robbers in ancient times were only interested in gold and silver in the tomb, and other things they generally did not move, but today's tomb robbers are different, they want everything. Seeing so many pirate holes, the experts' hearts were already half cold.
After careful inspection, experts found that the size of the ancient tomb below is very large, which infers that this tomb is certainly not simple, and it is likely to be an imperial tomb. Unfortunately, the artifacts inside are probably gone. But since it is an ancient tomb, it is necessary to excavate it when it is found, right? Archaeologists had just dug up the upper layer of sealing soil and found that something was wrong, because the bottom was not a layer of rammed earth, but a fine quicksand. This tomb should be the ancient quicksand tomb, what is the quicksand tomb? The so-called quicksand tomb is actually an ancient anti-theft method, the owner of the tomb let people pile all the sand on the top of the tomb, and then pile stones on the sand, so that as long as someone digs a hole into the tomb, the quicksand will flow into the robbery hole, and the stones above will fall quickly, so that those tomb robbers are in and out. When I arrived here, the mood of the experts improved again, because although there were many robbery caves, it is likely that the cultural relics in the tomb were not stolen, and at this time, the experts were also very much looking forward to the treasures in the tomb.
With the continuous cleaning, the first thing that is revealed is a staircase, which experts say is likely to be the passage through which the ancients transported dirt outward when building the tomb. Soon the overall structure of this ancient tomb was presented in the expert years ago, they followed the tomb road, first found the location of the main burial chamber, and then dug down the main burial chamber, when digging to 5 depths, the expert found a large amount of fine sand, from the flow of fine sand, it is likely that the tomb robbers have not arrived here, and the experts have also leaked an excited expression. When the experts dug to 9 meters, they suddenly found a black hole hole in the robbery hole, and there were wooden planks around the robbery hole, which made the expert's mood fall into the ice cave again. There is no way or have to dig ah, when open the tomb, experts found that the entire burial chamber in addition to sand, there are many strange stones inside, when the sand and stone are cleaned up, suddenly, there are a lot of red patterns on the bottom, experts studied these patterns and found that these patterns should be the Warring States period, these patterns can only be used by the nobility, so experts can basically conclude that this is a Warring States period imperial tomb.
Subsequently, the expert also found a lot of gold leaf under the sand, at this time the expert's face appeared excited expression, which proves that there are probably many treasures below, you say they can not be happy? After speeding up the excavation again, soon the coffin was also excavated, and with the excavation of the coffin, there were a large number of bronzes, although these bronzes have been broken, but from the production process and the number of excavations, the tomb is indeed the size of the emperor. This also confirms their initial speculation that an imperial tomb, an ancient tomb of this scale, is not common among archaeologists who have been dealing with ancient tombs and ancient tombs for many years. Finally, after the cleaning and statistics of experts, the number of cultural relics excavated from this ancient tomb reached more than 3,000. Experts also found a pair of bronze square pots in it, unfortunately the pair of bronze square pots have been destroyed, experts spliced the fragments and found that this is a pair of warring states period only used in large ceremonies, the use of wine vessels.
After cleaning the tunnel where the bronzes were placed, the expert found that there was a funerary pit next to it, and the scale of the funerary pit was also very large, and 53 female bones were found inside, and there were no male ones. According to experts, these corpses should all be the corpses of the maids who served him before the tomb owner died.
Another strange thing in this tomb is that the bones in the coffin are not complete. After the coffin was opened, I originally thought that there should be the most important funerary products of the tomb owner inside, but I did not expect that there was nothing inside, and only half of the skull was left. Could it be that the corpses and treasures were stolen by tomb robbers? Or was it done by the tomb owner's former enemy? As for what kind of situation it is, experts are not conclusive, because until now the identity of the tomb owner has not been determined, and the epitaph about the identity of the tomb owner has not been found. However, several bodies were found under several of the robbery holes, which were most likely the corpses of tomb robbers. As for the screams heard by the villagers in the middle of the night, it is also likely that they came from tomb robbers. Judging from the robbery holes at the scene, the holes dug by the latest batch of tomb robbers were certainly not dug in a short period of time, and should have been dug for many days, but they did not really dig through. Because of this, so many funerary items can be preserved in the tomb, and if they dig them up, these funerary items will not be guaranteed. This is also thanks to the early discovery of the villagers, otherwise it is really possible to let them dig it up. Finally, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, this anti-theft method is really quite clever.
Regarding the identity of the owner of the tomb, experts can only infer that he is an imperial figure in the Warring States period, the Chu State, as for other experts, they are also powerless, they really can't deduce it, and there is no record of this tomb in historical data at all. If you are interested in the identity of the owner of this tomb, you may wish to deduce for yourself, as for the experts, it seems that there is no hope.
Thank you! Thumbs up! concern!
