Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
Whenever you hear the word tomb, it always makes people feel afraid, it represents horror, ghosts, graves. In fact, the burial system is a very common tradition in the mainland, but this traditional way is difficult for everyone to accept.
Whether it was the noble emperors, saints, dignitaries, or ordinary people in the early years, after their deaths, they were to be buried by their descendants. Since each person's identity is different before death, the required tomb specifications also vary from person to person.
For example, the funerals of emperors and dignitaries are very elaborate. Before leaving, people will look for the Taoist leader to explore the way, and the feng shui master will look for feng shui. The terrain outside the tomb requires stability and is not prone to natural disasters, and it is best to have a small river habitat next to the woods. The requirements in the tomb are even more outrageous: the civil officials require the holy book to accompany the burial, and the pen, ink and paper cannot be less. The military attaché asked for the sword to be worn, and the more gold and silver treasure the better.
It is precisely because of such a rich funeral product that it will cause countless troubles. Logically speaking, since the predecessors were buried, why would some people still take the opportunity to get these treasures?
The reporter interviewed the local villagers: "You have lived here for a long time, have you not found that there is an ancient tomb here?" "The villagers who faced the reporter's interview could not believe the existence of the ancient tomb, and only reluctantly accepted the facts until the moment when the experts came.
1. Ancient tomb survey and excavation
Because the cemetery is generally hidden deep underground, the terrain of the emperor's cemetery is more diverse. The organ is definitely an indispensable one, so many tomb robbers have not been able to get out of the "first tomb" and are eventually buried here with the owner of the tomb.
The tomb was found in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, and it was a very coincidental event that it was discovered at the same time. The reason why this tomb can be found by posterity is because the construction team of Xiangyang City at that time wanted to carry out construction in this area, but in the process of the construction team's operation, due to the survey that there was something in the ground, several workers present boldly guessed: It will not be a treasure, right?
Soon, experts found a relatively special stone stele, according to the archaeologists said: the age of this stone stele is long, not nearly 100 years old stone stele, because of the large number of ancient texts engraved on it, the archaeology team had to inform the local archaeological department, take it back to study carefully.
After the incident was amplified by the media in Xiangyang City, archaeologists in Beijing went to Xiangyang City to study this "treasure land" after hearing about it. Archaeologists are eager to learn, and everyone is very eager to know which era of artifacts? In the end, experts concluded that stone tablets like this do not generally appear in a scattered form, and if they appear in this form, they must be signs of excavation by stolen tomb thieves.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Xiangyang Municipal Public Security Bureau sent judicial police to the ancient tomb, and as more and more villagers watched, the judicial police had to protect the scene.
According to expert estimates, if there are tombs in this area, then the treasures in the tombs must be very few, and most of them have been taken by tomb robbers. Not only that, but the complete cemetery must have been destroyed, and the walls of the cemetery may be scraped off in the form of devastating destruction.
Archaeologists speculate that such a situation is empirical, but can only feel very sorry. Just after the cemetery was excavated, to the surprise of all the people present, the tomb was not as dilapidated as suspected, and there were few cultural relics left.
Experts from the appearance of the tunnel, there are indeed traces of tomb robbers entering, but there is no trace of pry inside the ancient tomb, the dust is still intact, and the cover is still so solid.
Second, several thieves did not see the light of day after all
After surveying the tomb, archaeologists unexpectedly found that the reason why the tomb room has not changed is because the mechanism designed by the owner of the tomb is very clever.
To know that most of the tomb robbers are at night, and this tomb has a commanding height, the tomb robbers can only reach the tomb room if they enter from here, but a careless person may fall into the tomb chamber, and falling from such a high place is afraid that it is less fierce.
In addition, the tomb has a large amount of quicksand under the tomb, even if the tomb robbers are not thrown to death. After being encroached upon by quicksand, it will eventually be submerged. People who fall into the quicksand basically go to another world.
It took archaeologists a long time to clear the quicksand, and to the disbelief of the people present, there were more than 80 corpses hidden inside, and the scene was really miserable. Archaeologists analyzed the location of the skeleton and the morphological changes, saying: "Without the consequences of fighting and killing, the skeleton would not have taken a distorted shape if it had not fallen from above."
In other words, if the tomb robbers do not go to this place, they will not die. Archaeologists then opened the burial chamber and found many artifacts. It is precisely because the defensive structure of this burial chamber is well done that the cultural relics are intact.
Third, the ancient tomb should be regarded as the "witness" of history.
At the last moment when the exploration of the ancient tomb was completed, the expert told reporters: "The destruction of the tomb is caused by the excavation of the tomb robbers, but it is a pity that these young lives." But at the same time, it also warns the outlaws not to move their minds arbitrarily, and it is the right thing to use their abilities on the right track."
The reporter also agreed very much, after the media reports, we also saw the history and culture of Xiangyang City. The villagers are even more frightened by the excavation of the ancient tomb, and some villagers say that they are afraid of going home at night and having nightmares.
Here, archaeologists say: "The villagers do not have to be afraid, the tomb is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is only the appearance." It actually symbolizes the "witness" of the country's history. Finally, hoping that the local villagers could protect them, the villagers frequently nodded.
For the setting of this kind of organ, our descendants can't help but lament the wisdom of the ancients. It not only protects the integrity of ancient historical relics, but also does not allow thieves to get away with it, which is of great help to the mainland in terms of history and archaeology.
The so-called "gentleman loves money, and has a way to get it." The burial chamber can be said to be an important clue to the direction of mainland archaeology, and the mainland law clearly stipulates that excavating ancient tombs without authorization is an illegal act, and theft of cultural relics can be sentenced. China, which has a thousand-year-old cultural history, has a large number of gaps and loopholes in historical milestones, which are slowly filled by further exploration by scientists.
In fact, these luxurious configurations have no substantive significance, just for the sake of posterity to make the last tolerance for the reluctance of the predecessors, and then the posterity is afraid that the predecessors will not live well after transitioning to another world.
