There is such an object that almost caused a grievance, what is going on?
Shaanxi dug out 11 kilograms of Datang gold leaf, and when the gold leaf was weighed again half a year later, it was found that three pounds were missing, and the relevant units actively investigated, and after 40 days, the truth stunned everyone!
Where did the 3 pounds less gold leaf go? How did it disappear?
This starts from 1970, archaeologists found 11 pounds of gold leaf during archaeology in Hejia Village, Shaanxi Province. In this cellar, which is only 0.8 meters above the ground, archaeologists turned over four valuable pieces of gold leaf in a silver jar filled with water, and when they were weighed by the water, they found that it weighed 11 pounds.
However, when weighing again in 1971, it was found that nearly three pounds were missing, and after repeated weighing, experts determined the weight of the gold leaf, which was indeed three pounds less!
In order to investigate the truth, the museum conducted a probe to lock the suspect on the archaeologist Han Wei, who had the most contact with gold leaf, and Han Wei had a bitter word. Through investigation, he suspected that the gold leaf was water-seeping, and immediately told the museum: the gold leaf will ooze water in the passage of time!
The three pounds of gold leaf that is missing is the evaporated water, the museum through the relevant experiments, put four pieces of gold leaf into the water, after taking it out, it was found that the gold leaf did weigh 3 pounds, and the archaeologist Han Wei was indeed wronged!
This ending also made all the archaeologists cry and laugh, but fortunately, Han Wei discovered the scientific nature of the gold leaf in time and found the evidence!
Some people say that archaeologists need to improve their professionalism, otherwise it will be easy to miss a lot of details; others say that when excavating a cultural relic, they should have a specific understanding of its properties.
