The Liao state has been passed down for 9 generations in Chinese history, and the royal family of the Liao state is surnamed Yelü, and Liao Taizu is the famous Yelü Abaoji. Although for modern people, the Liao state is far less familiar than the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. But the Liao state was once famous in the world, and to this day, the Russian word for "China" translates to "Khitan", which means Liao.
The Liao royal family was very rich and had a tradition of thick burial. This made the tombs of the Liao royal family stolen many times, becoming the fat in the eyes of tomb robbers.
One day, the Chifeng City Police Department received an alarm call. The phone said that next to their village, an ancient tomb appeared, which was suspected to have been excavated by tomb robbers. After receiving the call, the police immediately contacted the cultural relics experts and rushed to the scene with the cultural relics experts to explore. After arriving at the scene, cultural relics experts immediately tested the tomb and found that the tomb had indeed been excavated. Moreover, the tomb robbers were very rude, drilling several robbery holes in the ancient tomb, which seriously damaged the original structure of the tomb.
After some fixation, the experts finally entered the tomb. The expert took a look around with a flashlight and immediately exclaimed. It turned out that this ancient tomb was built of green glazed tiles, and the specifications were very high, and even several emperor tombs were far behind. Therefore, experts determine that the owner of this ancient tomb must have a very noble status before he died, so this ancient tomb is of great archaeological value and should be protected immediately.
So the next day, archaeologists began a rescue excavation of the tomb. Originally, the experts did not expect it, because the tomb was stolen obviously after a period of time, and the tomb robbers hit so many holes, proving that the tomb was stolen not once or twice, and the tomb seemed to be empty, so the valuable funerary goods must have been stolen by the tomb robbers.
Experts excavate in the hope of obtaining information such as the tomb's epitaph to determine the identity of the tomb owner. But as soon as the shovel went down, the experts were immediately shocked. It turns out that there are still many well-preserved porcelain buried in the ancient tomb, these porcelains are quite well preserved, the instrument type is also very exquisite, of which 2 leather bag pot porcelain has been unearthed, which is the first piece in Chinese history, the value is incalculable, and it can even be called a national treasure level cultural relics.
Through an investigation, the experts learned the true identity of the owner of the ancient tomb. It turned out that the owner of this tomb was Yelü Yuzhi, a cousin of Yelü Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and his status was indeed valuable. After learning that this was a Liao tomb, archaeologists laughed and even said that the tomb robbers they encountered this time were really the stupidest tomb robbers ever.
It turned out that the nobles of the Liao State were buried in a timely manner, and there were many pure gold utensils for the burial. The tomb robber must have seen the "gold" intention, thinking that gold is valuable, so the looting is some exquisite pure gold products. These artifacts are many in the tomb and are small and easy to carry around.
Tomb robbers have repeatedly "patronized" the tomb of Yelü Yuzhi, thinking that they have looted the ancient tomb. But in fact, the most valuable thing in the ancient tomb is the porcelain covered by a thin layer of soil. However, these porcelains are relatively bulky, and tomb robbers patronize to steal gold and do not continue to excavate, so they are missing from national treasure-level cultural relics.
