introduction
Cultural relics are the epitome of history, are the witnesses of history, want to understand a piece of history, in addition to consulting the literature, the study of cultural relics is also a simple and direct way. This method of conducting historical research through ancient remains is known as "archaeology". By now, archaeology is no longer a strange word, there was once an archaeological team, dug up a huge red coffin on the mountain, there was a female corpse in the coffin, the experts opened their clothes and frightened. Do you know what the experts see?
It is recorded in the Bhagavad Gita, "Woohoo! Gengshen changed, and rui's cultural relics simmered embers nineteen. "Cultural relics are the treasures of an era, after the baptism of time, they have gradually become antiques, and a very important reason why these cultural relics can be preserved for a long time to become antiques is that they not only have the unique material value of the rare treasures themselves, but also hide the cultural heritage." However, there are not many antiques that can be preserved over a long period of time, and even fewer are found and used for research and appreciation, and many rare cultural relics are buried in the ground.
01
Why is it said that cultural relics are buried in the ground, this is because in ancient times, in addition to the royal family, high-ranking officials and nobles and rich people, they will bring some funerary products to the tomb after death, which is a superstitious tradition, the higher the social status, the more wealth people, the more precious the funerary goods after death. Therefore, since ancient times, tomb robbery is also a profession that has lasted for hundreds of years, and it still exists today. In addition to tomb robbers, there is also a category of people who will also enter the grave to find funerary objects, that is, archaeologists, unlike tomb robbers, archaeologists usually only carry out rescue excavations for research when the cemetery is damaged, while tomb robbers are purely to take out these funerary items in exchange for money, and there is a world of difference between the two.
When archaeologists excavate cultural relics, they can study not only the jade and bronze objects for burial, but also the corpses can become the object of study. Some of the bodies buried deep in the ground decayed slowly because they had little contact with the air, and even some of them were relatively intact after hundreds of years. In the ancient tomb that was found, the body can cause the experts to shock very little, but it is not nothing, in 2003, some experts found such an ancient tomb in Inner Mongolia, there is a coffin in the tomb, the shape is huge and red, puzzling is that the general coffin is black, why is it red?

Things start from 2003, a construction worker found a wall when working, did not care at that time, but continued to dig forward, and the more digging the more strange, these looks like "rock" wall arrangement is very regular, not like natural formation, but like artificial manufacturing, and later he told this matter to other workers, some people said that this place may be an ancient tomb, because they can not continue to work, they told the local cultural relics department about this matter.
After hearing about it, the experts of the cultural relics department immediately rushed to the scene, in order to have a more in-depth exploration of the ancient tomb, the experts carefully excavated to see what antiquities were available for study in the tomb. Slowly, a red coffin appeared, this coffin was carved with many exquisite patterns, the manufacturing process was very elaborate, and it was well preserved, which showed that the owner of the tomb was either rich or expensive, but actually had a great history.
After research, it was found that the ancient tomb was Khitan and experts opened the coffin in order to find out the body, and after opening, the female corpse wore a blonde hairband on her head and a thin layer of gauze on her face, which looked like an exotic beauty. When the experts opened the clothes of the female corpse, the female corpse had some indescribable liquid flowing from her body, which looked very disgusting and frightening.
Subsequently, the experts began to look for other artifacts in the tomb that could be used to prove the identity of the tomb owner, but found nothing, and could only wait for other relevant information to reveal her true identity later. With the development of society, people will inevitably encounter some ancient tombs that have to be excavated when building the project, and each excavation will bring new discoveries to archaeologists, and some of the cultural relics and treasures unearthed in them will become an important basis for historical research.
epilogue
It is recorded in the "On Balance" that "people die like lights extinguished, like soup pouring snow, if you want to return the soul, fish for the bright moon on the seabed" After the death of a person, everything he once had no longer existed. However, the ancients put precious items in the tomb after their deaths, perhaps just a comfort for themselves or their families, so that the deceased would not look desolate in the tomb.
