Strange creatures were found in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, and experts were stunned to learn the name
In the tomb of Mawangdui Han, it became very famous because of the excavation of a complete female wet corpse, and it is precisely because of this female wet corpse named Xin Chai that other cultural relics unearthed in the tomb are not famous at all. Isn't there a single shining star next to the real moon?
Xiaobian believes that there is a big misunderstanding here, Mawangdui Han tomb also unearthed an abnormal "strange" creature, experts see this creature that does not belong to China, at that time they were stunned, Xiaobian said the name of this creature, let's talk about another strange thing.
Around 1980, a Han tomb was found on the Phoenix Mountain in Chengdu, but experts opened the Han tomb and found several tomato seeds in the coffin of the tomb.
You know, tomatoes were only passed to China during the Qing Dynasty, and how can there be tomato seeds in the coffin of the tomb of the Han Dynasty? After careful study, experts found that the original roof of this Han tomb cracked a gap, planted in the vegetable field your tomato seeds were washed into the Han tomb by the rain, it can be said that the coffin of the Han Dynasty found tomato seeds, all of which were caused by "rain".
In 1972, the excavation of the Mawangdui tomb officially began, and archaeologists found a plain gauze tunic (a net weight of 48 grams, the lightest clothing in the world) in the bamboo stalk (a clothing box woven with bamboo) around Mrs. Xin Chai's coffin, but the experts opened the plain gauze shirt and dropped a hook-patterned beetle corpse from it.
A bamboo basket is a chest woven with bamboo, and although it is breathable, the silverfish cannot drill from the outside to the inside.
Archaeologists were stunned when they saw the hook-striped beetle, because this creature, native to the Americas, is a typical sloth that does not fly or run.
More than 60 years ago, the hook-striped beetle spread from the Americas to Britain for trade reasons, and to China, which has only happened in recent decades.
More than two thousand years ago, the hook-striped beetle could not have leapt over the vast Pacific Ocean to China. When Zheng He went to the West, it was possible to come into contact with the hook-striped beetle, and during the Qing Dynasty, with the arrival of foreigners from North America to China, the hook-striped beetle may have spread to China... We do not mention the Qing Dynasty, but assume from a distance that during the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West to bring the hook-striped beetle to China, so how can the hook-and-striped beetle travel through more than 1,000 years and enter the Mawangdui Han Tomb?
Archaeologists asked insect experts, insect experts gave such a conclusion: if there is no fissure in the top of the Mawangdui tomb, (the Mawangdui Han tomb is buried deep underground, the tomb top absolutely cannot have a crack) The hook-striped leather beetle has no earthy kung fu, he cannot drill into this Han tomb, then there is only one situation - about 2000 years ago, that is, the era of Mrs. Xin Chai's social activities, at that time, among the many insects, there was a shadow of the hook-striped beetle activity.
Archaeologists listened to the entomologist's words, and immediately began to refute: the Siberian tiger is the northeast activity, the giant panda lives in Sichuan, the hook-striped beetle lives in North America, there is no evidence, why do you say that the Han Dynasty around 2000 years ago had hook-and-striped beetle activities?
Neither entomologists nor archaeologists could tell who, and in the end the two groups fell into a vicious circle of more and more confused debate. Wise readers, how did this North American hook-striped beetle enter the bamboo of the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago and then buried in the mawangdui Han tomb, why did it use a dry worm corpse to declare its existence after a long time, and add unnecessary doubts to us?
