In ancient times, it was a very common way for people to place funerary items in the tomb after death. But there were also some monarchs or princes and nobles who preferred to use living people as burial objects, believing that the martyrs could continue to serve him in another world. But in fact, this is a very barbaric bad habit, Mozi also said that after the death of Tianzi, the number of martyrs is as many as hundreds, as few as dozens, the level of general doctor, the number of martyrs is as many as dozens, and the number of martyrs is as small as a few.
This bad habit began at the end of primitive society and did not basically disappear until after the Han Dynasty. Experts on the mainland have also had cases of living people buried in tombs when conducting ancient tomb research, and even the number of martyrs in some ancient tombs is as many as hundreds, which is very cruel. In the 1970s, ancient tombs of martyrdom were also found in Hubei Province on the mainland. It turned out that there was a construction worker in The Drum Dun in Hubei Province at that time, but it turned out that not long ago, because an army was planning to expand the training site in the army, this place was selected as a new training base, and the construction team was invited to work.
Thanks to the efforts of experts, the huge scale of the ancient tomb was finally gradually revealed, with a total of more than 200 square meters. However, there are 21 coffins floating in the burial chamber, which should be full of cultural relics, which is terrifying and spectacular from a distance. Because of the abundant groundwater resources, the ancient tomb has been completely submerged, and the only way to carry out archaeology is to first divert the groundwater away, so experts have spent a lot of time to divert all the groundwater from these endless groundwater and smoothly enter the ancient tomb for study. After research experts found that this ancient tomb turned out to be the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in the Warring States period.
Experts excavated a large number of precious cultural relics from the tomb when cleaning the tomb, including a cultural relic" "bronze chime" that is still known as the treasure of the mainland. This ancient tomb is like a treasure, and there are countless cultural relics unearthed from the tomb, and few ancient tombs can compare with its scale and cultural relics. In archaeology, experts not only unearthed many precious cultural relics, but also studied the 21 coffins in the tomb, and through research, they showed that all the 21 coffins contained girls aged 16 to 20, who should have been killed as the living sacrifices of Zeng Houyi. And experts also examined the causes of death on the 21 bones, including cruel methods such as poisoning and beating to death.
Seeing this scene, although experts who are accustomed to seeing corpse relics, they can't help but scold the ancients for being really not only feudal but also very cruel, and anything can be done, even if they are dead, they have to pull many people to accompany themselves to the funeral.
