The custom of thick burial has existed in China since ancient times, and people in ancient times believed that after death, people would enter another world, so in order to be able to enjoy the glory and wealth after death, they would use their own gold, money and treasures as a funeral, praying to be able to bring them to another world. But now we all know that after death, there is nothing, life does not bring, death does not bring, put so much treasure in the tomb, only the tomb robbers will be invited. Therefore, in order to protect these tombs, archaeological work is also highly valued, archaeologists have been doing their best to carry out rescue excavations for these ancient tomb sites to avoid theft by tomb robbers. An ancient tomb in Shaanxi province found 27 tons of national treasures, the identity of the tomb owner is unknown, an old farmer said: I know.
Located in Dayao Township, Xi'an City, this ancient tomb has a very strangely shaped mound in the local area, and there are various carved ornaments around the mound. Locals speculated that there might be an ancient tomb under the mound, but out of respect for the ancients, the villagers did not dig up the mound to find out. But there is such an ancient tomb placed there, which naturally attracts the attention of countless tomb robbers.
In 2004, a daring tomb robber actually tried to use explosives to blast the tomb. In order to prevent anyone from calling the police, these tomb robbers also sent special people to guard the villagers around the ancient tomb, and confiscated their communication equipment. The tomb was also thoroughly looted by tomb robbers, and many precious cultural relics were flowed to the underground black market for trading. Although the archaeologists who rushed to the news protected the ancient tomb, because the scope of the explosion was too wide, the mausoleum would collapse at any time, and it had no choice but to rescue it for protection and excavation.
According to the research of experts, this ancient tomb was built in the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that the scale should be buried by a royal family. But unfortunately, because of the looting of tomb robbers, many of the cultural relics have been destroyed, leaving only a few worthless ceramic jars. Later, under the investigation of the police, a stone rafter shot by this gang of tomb robbers was finally recovered. Weighing 27 tons, this stone rafter is the largest piece of archaeological discovery so far, which is of great historical archaeological value and can be said to be a national treasure.
Since the stone rafters in the tomb are so huge, the identity of the tomb owner must be different, but the experts are strange that they have searched the entire ancient tomb, and there is no clue to the owner of the tomb, not even a single epitaph. Just when the experts were at a loss, a local farmer provided clues and helped them find the stone stele where the mausoleum was buried.
An ancient tomb in Shaanxi province found 27 tons of national treasures, the identity of the tomb owner is unknown, an old farmer said: I know. According to the written records on the stone tablets, experts finally determined that the tomb was buried in the mausoleum by Concubine Wu Huifei, the concubine of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. The world only knows the story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan, but they don't know, in fact, Tang Xuanzong is also very fond of this Concubine Wu. Wu Huifei was the niece of the famous female emperor Wu Zetian in history, and she not only inherited Wu Zetian's beauty, but even the same cleverness and viciousness, but also almost let the story of Wu Zetian be staged again.
After the death of this beloved Concubine Wu, Tang Xuanzong posthumously honored her as Empress Zhenshun and buried her in Jingling, but there is no record of the location of Jingling in the history books, which has always become a mystery in the archaeological community. It was not until the mausoleum was patronized by tomb robbers that archaeologists finally found the tomb where Wu Huifei was buried. Although many of the cultural relics in the ancient tombs have been destroyed, some of the excavated cultural relics are still of great archaeological historical value and of great significance for people to study the history of the Tang Dynasty.
