Since ancient times, the Chinese people have attached great importance to funerary culture, and the historical materials unearthed in the tomb not only reflect the customs and burial systems of the ancients, but also restore the economic, customs, culture and many other aspects of the ancient society to a certain extent. The identity status of the tomb owner is different, and the funerary products buried with them are naturally different, and for the dignitaries and dignitaries and princes and generals, most of their funerary products are valuable rare treasures. And these treasures have also attracted the covetousness of some unscrupulous people, and the profession of tomb robbers has begun to be born, they steal ancient tombs and sell cultural relics for profit.
Throughout history, most of the tomb robberies are gang crimes, but people are often very greedy in the face of money, if one of them has a selfish heart for a treasure, then their organization will have serious differences, and there have even been several tomb robbers who have collaborated to kill another tomb robber, and the cause of this incident also starts from the tomb of Wu Zetian's granddaughter.
At that time, the tomb of Wu Zetian's granddaughter was targeted by a group of tomb robbers, who made meticulous preparations and entered the tomb to steal a lot of cultural relics. In modern times, archaeologists have discovered the mausoleum again, and when the tomb is opened, it is found that the skeleton of a man has been sitting in the tomb for thousands of years.
This incident occurred in the 1960s, when experts excavated the tomb of Wu Zetian's granddaughter, they found the remains of a man from the sixth patio, which had been reduced to white bones. Next to the man was an axe and a large number of jewels, which experts were puzzled by, believing that it might be the burial of the man. However, after examining the white bones, it was found that the man lived in the early years of the Song Dynasty, and the reason why he died in the tomb of Wu Zetian's granddaughter was probably because he had a quarrel with his accomplices when he robbed the tomb with his accomplices, or for some reason, and finally remained in the mausoleum and died in despair.
According to historical records, the owner of the mausoleum here is named Princess Yongtai, who died of difficult childbirth at the age of nearly 17. After her death, her father, Li Xian, built this massive mausoleum for her to commemorate her.
It is a pity that this mausoleum has been invaded by tomb robbers many times in history, and there are no cultural relics with research value inside, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the entire archaeological community.
