One winter night in 1969, villagers who were watching a dam movie suddenly got a message: "Someone has just dug out a large bronze coffin!" ”
It is said that the coffin lid is still shaking violently, as if something is about to climb out...
On the evening of December 15, villagers in Pudaozhai, Xilin County, Guangxi Province, gathered happily on the dam of the village to watch the news documentary "Agricultural Dazhai" brought by the county film team.
At this moment, several people made eye contact with each other, quietly withdrew from the crowd, and went to a small dirt bag under a large banyan tree not far away. It turned out that the area was recently under construction, and several people were migrant workers of the construction team.
On the afternoon of the same day, one of them was digging a roadbed when he stumbled upon the "secret" of this small dirt bag. His hoe touched something and made a crunching sound of metal tapping...
After digging a few more times, he found a patina corner of the mud! This person is secretly happy in his heart, and feels that it may be a "treasure" underground.
At that time, the others were really doing a good job, so this person quietly agreed with a few people who came together, and when they watched the movie at night, there were fewer people to continue digging.
Therefore, in the evening, when several people took advantage of the time when everyone was watching the dam movie, they quietly came to the place where they had been buried in advance, picked up their hoes and began to dig wildly.
It didn't take long for the moviegoers to start whispering, and a scene appeared at the beginning of the story. The crowd was talking about it, and they all said that someone not far away had dug up a large bronze coffin, and there seemed to be something inside the coffin that wanted to be squeezed out!
At this time, who can still watch the movie? Curious people came to watch one after another, and the people under the big banyan tree gathered more and more!
At this moment, all the people's eyes are staring at the "behemoth" in front of them in a daze. It turned out to be a gilded bronze coffin two meters long and about seventy or eighty centimeters high!
The entire coffin may have been buried in the ground for too long, and the gilded peeling began to rust. The two sides of the coffin are also inlaid with several bronze masks the size of human faces, which look eerie...
Looking at the coffin lid again, it is actually tightly sewn together, where is there any violent shaking? What is in the coffin that is going to come out?
Probably all the people who are watching the hilarity, cheering up and exaggerating what they see...
However, even if there is nothing scary about the "big rice dumplings" to jump out, the bronze coffin in front of you is really surprising!
At first, there was still some fear in everyone's heart. After all, in the sixties of the last century, the "coffin of the dead man" dug out of the ground was definitely a bit moldy!
However, greedy desire soon triumphed over fear. I don't know who first picked up the shovel and began to pry the lid of the copper coffin. So, a crowd of people all poured in!
Soon, the bronze coffin was pried open, what was in the black crevice? Is it a "big rice dumpling" that bites people with its mouth open? Or gold and silver jewelry?
After all, there are still bold people in the pile! Only to see someone push away the crowd, approach the coffin and put his arm into the coffin...
When the others saw it, they were afraid that they would not be able to grab the "treasure", so more than a dozen people rushed up in a rush, some continued to pry the coffin lid, some broke the gap and reached out to catch something, and the iron rod knocked on the coffin...
And just like that, a crazy coffin smashing treasure hunt began! The scene was chaotic.
It was not until the next day that the matter was reported to the Highway Construction Command. The relevant personnel rushed to the scene, only to see a mess, a coffin covered with copper rust was placed alone on the side, the coffin was empty and nothing, and a lot of copper pieces fell around.
In the 1960s, this kind of "feudal four old" things were more sensitive, coupled with the weak awareness of cultural relics protection, the Xilin County government learned of this matter, only used a car to pull the copper coffin to the open space behind the county party committee compound, and did not report to the superior!
Therefore, such a bronze coffin, which today seems to be an earth-shattering archaeological discovery, was randomly parked in the compound of the county party committee for more than a year!
It's not over yet! This mysterious bronze coffin is about to usher in "devastating" destruction!
In 1971, the motor bearings of the Bada Power Station in Xilin County burned out and copper was urgently needed. Copper was expensive at that time, where to find such a large amount of copper? In this way, the copper coffin in the compound of the county party committee was finally remembered!
This time it was broken, poor this ancient coffin, which had been buried in the ground for thousands of years, was directly pulled by the ignorant masses to smelt copper! However, because the bronze coffin is made of alloy, there are many copper impurities refined, and it is not used at all!
In the end, only about 30 kilograms of broken copper pieces were left in the bronze coffin weighing several hundred kilograms and was taken back to the warehouse for safekeeping!
In July 1972, following the excavation of the copper coffin, Pu Da Liang stood in front of the newly built warehouse to build a new drying field, and it was here that two huge bronze drums were cut out! The location of the bronze drum and the excavation of the bronze coffin are only more than 20 meters apart!
At this time, the higher authorities began to pay attention to this problem, and archaeologists continued to go to the Xilin area to investigate.
According to the excavations, the two brass drums are actually a kind of coffin burial system, which places human bones collected from secondary burials.
However, the most curious thing is the copper coffin excavated in 1969! Unfortunately, such a unique treasure has long been turned into slag and no longer exists!
As for what kind of secrets are inside the bronze coffin? Are there human bones inside? Who is the owner of the bronze coffin? A series of questions seem to be a mystery...
In recent years, experts have concluded that the owners of the bronze coffin and bronze drum are likely to have come from the king of a mysterious southwestern small country called "Juramachi Kingdom".
During the Qin and Han dynasties more than 2,000 years ago, there were many southwestern tribal states in the southwest of the mainland, of which the Kingdom of Dian, the State of Yelang and the State of Jurchen were the most powerful.
However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, there has been no more appearance of "Jurchen Kingdom" in the historical records, and they have mysteriously disappeared...
And the bronze coffin that should have helped us lift the veil of history, suddenly appeared and helplessly destroyed, which is actually a great regret of the archaeological community... #古墓时空机 #
