In 1953, an ancient tomb with a special metal was discovered in Jiangsu, which was questioned by Western scholars: it was impossible
Zhou Chu this person is just and upright, strong personality, but it is precisely because of his personality, offended a lot of powerful people, and finally was sent to the northwest to fight, defected to the battlefield, because he was young and indulgent, in the township, was called a scourge, but later the prodigal son turned back, reformed, made meritorious achievements, surpassed his father, and even left the legend of Zhou Fu to eliminate the three evils.
Until now people are also looking forward to being able to excavate his ancient tomb, and in 1953, Yixing, Jiangsu Province, found an ancient tomb, archaeologists found that this is the cemetery of Zhou after testing, and the bricks are also engraved with the words "Yuankang Seven September 2nd Yang Xian made the pre-Zhou General", which also makes experts more confirmed that there is no doubt that the cemetery in Zhou is undoubted. It is a pity that this ancient tomb has been patronized by tomb robbers, many valuable things have been stolen, but there are some remaining burial items, which have also attracted the attention of archaeologists, including a number of hollowed out metal belts, which surprised scholars, so they brought it back for careful study and exploration.
After analysis, it was found that this metal belt formula contains 10% copper, 85% aluminum, and 5% manganese, which is undoubtedly an alloy material, which is a common metal in today's daily life, but it is necessary to know that in ancient times, aluminum that was more precious than gold was not so common, and it was also 10 points of gold, and it was difficult to smelt this metal element at that time. Judging from the technology found in this cemetery, the high purity of this metal aluminum has surpassed other countries, which means that China already has the technology of smelting aluminum more than 1,000 years ago.
Some people have speculated that this probability may be related to alchemy in the Wei and Jin dynasties, because the invention of gunpowder was also discovered by accident, and the same is true of this metal aluminum. However, it has also been questioned by some Western countries. Some Western scholars felt that it was impossible to have metallic aluminum at that time, after all, in that period, the technology and conditions could not be achieved, if pure aluminum could be smelted simply by fire, it was undoubtedly a crossing. Some people also feel that since this ancient tomb has been stolen, then it is possible that this metal aluminum may also be brought in by tomb robbers, but after careful identification by archaeologists in China, it is felt that although this ancient tomb has been destroyed by tomb robbers, and most of the places destroyed are above the silt layer, but the place where this metal aluminum is found is not damaged by the soil layer, but is excavated in the soil layer, so it proves that this technology was smelted in the period at that time.
In fact, even if it is questioned, some Western scholars who are more familiar with China say that this is entirely possible, after all, China has created multiple firsts, and it is reasonable to have one more first!
