Throughout the ages, the stories of tomb robbers can be described as wonderful, some of them are bold, some are cautious. Today I want to tell you about the most "dedicated" tomb robber in history, what unexpected things did he do in order to steal the tombs of the ancients?
During the Yuan Dynasty, there was a tomb robber named Jia Hu, who usually lived by stealing some small tombs, and what really made him famous was an ancient tomb during the Han Dynasty. Jia Hu found an ancient tomb in Yunlong Mountain, Jiangsu Province, and Jia Hu consulted the information and found that it was buried in it was Peng Chengwang and his wife in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, this ancient tomb is not so easy to enter, this tomb after the burial of Zhang Pengcheng and his wife, the craftsmen also built a stonehenge above the tomb, named "Yellow Intestine Stone". Just listening to the name of this formation is not simple, in fact, this formation is to lay 1100 boulders above the burial chamber, each boulder weighs a ton, and it is very difficult to move these boulders.
After Jahu discovered this ancient tomb, there were no tools to use, so the only way he thought of it was to cut through the boulder, so how did Jahu carry out his plan? At the beginning of the plan, Jahu built a house on the tomb, which would facilitate his long-term residence here and would not attract the attention of people nearby. In order to chisel through the boulder, Jahu also invited several accomplices to dig for the treasure for 20 years. The Emperor did not live up to his painstaking heart, and the Jiahu people finally smashed these boulders and entered the interior of the tomb, looting the funeral goods of Peng Chengwang and his wife. And the news of Jia Huhua's 20 years of tomb robbery did not go away, the official government knew his deeds, and finally the treasures that Jia Hu arrived were all handed over, and he did not hide from the disaster of imprisonment, he did not expect to work hard for 20 years, and finally it was just a bamboo basket to hit the water empty.
Regarding the legend of Jahu, some people in history have questioned the truth of the matter, will someone really spend 20 years to steal an ancient tomb? Modern archaeologists have unraveled the mystery. In 1979, archaeologists in Jiangsu excavated the tomb of King Pengcheng, and after entering the tomb, experts did see a huge robbery hole above Tomb No. 2, and this robbery cave was formed a long time ago. Experts have linked Jahu to this robbery cave, which shows that It did take Jahu 20 years to chisel through these boulders.
Although Jia Hu deserved it, they destroyed precious cultural relics, but his encounter made people cry and laugh, spending 20 years of his good youth in order to rob the tomb, and in the end did not realize his dream of becoming rich.
