History is long, dynasties rise and fall, and nothing is eternal. Every feudal emperor wants to live forever and sit firmly in the country forever, but he cannot escape the inevitable laws of history. To say that the only few that can be eternal are the game between the tomb robber and the emperor.
No matter which dynasty the emperor, after death, he hopes that his tomb will not be remembered. The Chinese people pay attention to the safety of the soil, and no one hopes to be disturbed after death. Since Cao Cao's lieutenant Who Founded the Tomb Robbery Industry, countless emperors in later generations have begun to wrestle with tomb robbers, they intimidate, admonish, and even set up various organs in the tomb, but it is still difficult to prevent the various tricks of tomb robbers.
However, there are special cases, today the author wants to say that this is, it is called the most clever tomb owner, tomb robbers in his tomb patronized 9 times, stunned that did not find a burial product. What's going on?
In the 1980s, when an industrial park in a suburban area of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, was in full swing, and the workers were working in full swing, someone suddenly dug out a few bluestone slabs. In a place like Xi'an, you may see ancient tombs at any time you dig. Therefore, the local people's awareness of cultural relics protection is also quite high, and the worker immediately informed the Cultural Relics Bureau. It didn't take long for archaeologists and excavation teams to arrive at the scene.
As further excavations unfolded, archaeologists found 9 caves in them, and their hearts were suddenly half cold. This means that the tomb has been stolen at least 9 times, and even if it is seen again, there are few precious historical relics and materials left in the tomb, but the excavation work has to continue, but from archaeological excavation to rescue excavation.
Finally, the excavation was completed and the tomb door was opened. The archaeologists were utterly disappointed to see the empty burial chamber, which contained only one sarcophagus and nothing else. These grave robbers are simply mad, and there is really no residue left. But experts and tomb robbers have different purposes, even if it is a sarcophagus, it is of considerable archaeological value to them.
Eventually, the engineering team brought in lifting equipment and carried the sarcophagus away. It was at this moment that archaeologists made an unexpected discovery. It turned out that under the heavy sarcophagus, there was also a hole. Moreover, there was no trace of theft at this cave entrance, and along the cave entrance according to Tu Suoji, more than 80 precious Tang Sancai were found, and the archaeologists present were collectively dumbfounded.
It seems that the owner of this tomb also put a lot of effort into order to prevent his tomb from being looted by tomb robbers. Hiding the burials under the sarcophagus is the first time archaeologists have seen this anti-theft technique, not to mention the tomb robbers before.
It is conceivable that these 9 tomb robbers dug into the tomb with great painstaking efforts, but they found nothing and looked angry and corrupt. And this battle of tomb robbery, which lasted for thousands of years, the owner of the tomb finally gained the upper hand.
It is not difficult to see the current situation of the protection of ancient tombs in China, you know, the vast majority of archaeological excavations in China are rescue excavations, that is, before archaeologists excavate, they have long been stolen tomb thieves to take a step forward. And the degree of madness of these tomb robbers is far beyond imagination, they not only stole the precious cultural relics in the ancient tombs, but also wantonly destroyed the tombs, which brought great obstacles to China's historical research work, and also caused many rare cultural relics in China to be lost in the folk.
Therefore, the enemy of tomb robbers today is not only the owner of the tomb, but also every historical and archaeological researcher, as well as every Chinese with conscience. The battle to protect the traditional history and culture of our country is far easier than we think.
