Cultural relics are relics and relics of historical, artistic and scientific value left by human beings in social activities, and are valuable historical and cultural heritage of mankind. However, because of the long history, many cultural relics are confusing, such as crossing things, bottle caps unearthed in the Ming Dynasty, and Mobile phones from the Neolithic Era, are these all left by tomb robbers?
1. Sengoku Crystal Cup
The appearance of the Warring States Crystal Cup is very similar to the glass we use every day today, but it was indeed excavated from the Warring States Tomb in Hangzhou, which is a crystal vessel from the Warring States period and is now in the Collection of the Hangzhou Museum. What makes it rare is that it is polished from a single piece of crystal, but what is truly amazing is not only the raw materials and craftsmanship, but also its extremely close shape to the glasses used by people today, which may be a coincidence of history, or it may be a necessity.
2. Ming Dynasty silver incense box
This silver incense box was unearthed from the tomb of Li Xinzhai family in Jiangqiao Town, Jiading, which is a Ming Dynasty husband and wife burial tomb. The shape of the silver incense box resembles the lid of today's beer bottles, which makes people mistakenly believe that they are the items left by tomb robbers. In fact, this is not the case, because this Ming Dynasty tomb is well preserved and has not been invaded by tomb robbers, and a large amount of rice paper and burial items such as hairpins, copper mirrors, gold and silver jewelry and other burial items have been found in the coffin.
The upper lid of the silver incense box is larger than the lower lid, and the upper lid is engraved with a small hole with the word "incense". It is speculated that the role of the small hole is to exude the aroma, which is mainly the makeup that ancient women carried with them with spices.
3. Neolithic stone shovel
Neolithic stone shovels, whether in shape or size, have the visual sense of today's high-tech mobile phones, which makes people can't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.
4. Bronze sun wheel
Excavated from Sanxingdui, it has a history of more than 3,000 years. It resembles a wheel and is now in the Sanxingdui Museum. Six bronze wheel-shaped vessels were unearthed from the Sanxingdui No. 2 Sacrifice Pit, one of which is about 85 centimeters in diameter, and is generally believed by academics to be the sun shaped by the ancients. This bronze sun wheel looks like today's steering wheel, but also like a wheel, netizens say it is the steering wheel of an alien spacecraft.
5. Yuan Dynasty glass bottle
In the Xi'an Museum, there is a Yuan Dynasty glass bottle, which is exactly the same as the modern beer bottle, which tomb robber left the leftover "beer bottle" in the ancient tomb?
In fact, these cultural relics are not left by tomb robbers, but real in the development of history, and by chance, they are similar to many things today, and we have to admire the wisdom of the ancients! It also makes us understand that cultural relics are not only serious and solemn existences, but also lively and innovative
On the one hand, that's what makes archaeology interesting.
