We in China are now more and more concerned about archaeology, because the value of cultural relics is too precious, most of the discovery of ancient tombs today is actually related to the accidental discovery of the people, fortunately, most of the people are very kind, the ancient tomb will be found to take the initiative to report, so as to avoid the possibility of robbery in advance by the stolen tomb thieves, the discovery of this ancient tomb we want to talk about today is very interesting, was blown out by an engineering team, and the identity of the tomb owner is extremely honorable, he is Liu Bei's ancestor Liu Sheng, That is, the tomb of Liu Sheng, the famous King of Zhongshan Jing, can also be called the Tomb of Mancheng Han.
That was in the 60s, when we new China called on all parts of the country to be independent, actively digging holes to accumulate grain, when Hebei Mancheng came to a Beijing Military Region engineering unit, in fact, to help Hebei Baoding to dig the cave, in fact, before that, the army knew that there may be an ancient tomb here, for this reason is also very careful to excavate, but dug for a long time but has not seen the clues of the ancient tomb, for this reason the troops think that maybe there is no ancient tomb here, it may be a legend, It didn't take long to prepare to blow up the mountain, but who would have thought that something unexpected would happen at this time.
Only to listen to a loud noise, there was a thick smoke in front, after the smoke dissipated, the engineering troops saw a huge bottomless pit in front, the soldiers looked down and found that the hole is indeed very deep, it is estimated that there is at least 5 meters of it, some people said that there is really an ancient tomb below, in view of the safety considerations, the leader of the army at that time hurriedly notified the Baoding side of the cultural relics bureau, asking them to immediately send an archaeological team to come to the identification.
After the archaeological team came, after some investigation confirmed that the following is the ancient tomb, followed by the work of the Baoding archaeological team, the next few months are excavated here, after entering the cave, experts found that this ancient tomb should be a tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, look at the situation at least 1,000 years of history.
At that time, this Mancheng Han tomb can be said to have shocked the whole country, in order to consider the safety of ancient tombs and cultural relics, the State Administration of Cultural Relics sent a very professional archaeologist to join the operation, and indeed this Mancheng Han tomb deserves such attention, and finally the ancient tomb unearthed countless treasures, including the first piece of gold jade clothing in China, this golden jade coat was found to be the tomb owner Liu Sheng's after expert testing, and from the specifications of this golden jade coat to confirm that Liu Sheng is very fat, so it can also be said that it is a maternity dress, Needless to say, the value is priceless!
In addition to the golden jade clothes, the Mancheng Han Tomb has also unearthed a large number of national treasures, such as the Jinbo Mountain Furnace, the Changxin Palace Lamp, the Gilded Copper Pot, etc., and there are many other precious cultural relics, and the discovery of the Mancheng Han Tomb is absolutely epic.
