In recent years, with the "popularity" of the tomb robbery theme film and television drama, the same tomb robbery novel has been remade into a variety of versions of the movie, the audience seems to have some "aesthetic fatigue", but this also shows that the tomb robbery film and television drama does have a very large market; these film and television dramas present a mysterious and thrilling underground world for the audience, and also popularize the tomb robbery for the audience, some of the techniques and sects of this profession; film and television dramas are fictional after all, but in the real world, the profession of tomb robbers has indeed been a long time, but the real tomb robbers Instead of being as handsome and dashing as in film and television dramas, most of them are just outlaws who covet treasure.
Historic Shaanxi, there are a large number of ancient tombs underground, a few decades ago there was a thousand-year-old tomb was found, and archaeologists found that this ancient tomb has been stolen 9 times, strange is the tomb with burial treasures, but there is no less, what is the mystery of this ancient tomb, can make so many tomb robbers helpless? Is it true that there are exquisite and mysterious mechanisms in the ancient tomb, as in the movie, or that there are mysterious tombkeeper families to protect from generation to generation? Listen to the editors carefully for you.
As one of the birthplaces of Chinese culture, Shaanxi, can be described as ancient tombs everywhere, the famous Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is needless to say, and many emperors will be heroic Haojie, are buried here; in the 80s of the last century, the suburbs of Xi'an prepared to build an industrial park, dug up an ancient tomb at the time of construction, the construction personnel immediately reported to the local cultural relics bureau, and then the cultural relics bureau expert team arrived at the scene to carry out rescue excavations of this ancient tomb; experts were slightly disappointed at the time of excavation, because there were nine pirate caves on this ancient tomb. That is to say, this ancient tomb has been "patronized" by tomb robbers 9 times, and the treasures in the tomb may have been plundered by tomb robbers.
Experts can only pray, there are some cultural relics in the tomb that have not been stolen by tomb thieves, but everyone knows that the possibility is very small; after the tomb is opened, sure enough, except for a sarcophagus, the tomb is empty, even the frescoes on the wall are shoveled and stolen; according to archaeological experts, it was found that the owner of this ancient tomb is a three-pin master of the Tang Dynasty, although the funerary goods in the tomb are looted, but this sarcophagus is also a national cultural relic, in order to protect the safety of cultural relics, experts decided to transport the sarcophagus back to the Cultural Relics Bureau, Further study for safekeeping.
Because the sarcophagus weighs 3 tons, and the coffin lid is very strong for a while difficult to open, in order to avoid the sarcophagus being hurt, archaeologists decided to first hoist the sarcophagus with a crane, and then slowly study its structure to find a way to open the coffin, at this time the experts found that there is a thin hole in the bottom of the sarcophagus, they used the probe to reach into the hole to investigate, a look frightened, only to see that the hole is filled with various treasures, no one has ever thought that under this simple sarcophagus, there are so many funerary products, all kinds of treasures are dazzling, Among them, there are representative works of the peak period of ancient pottery, such as Tang Sancai, a national treasure-level cultural relic.
Experts then carefully cleaned out the bottom of the funerary products one by one, after counting the number, and then combined with the identity of the tomb owner, inferred that there was not a single piece of the funerary products; the tomb owner used a blindfold method to successfully "scare" the tomb robbers, the experts saw this and secretly lucky, but also laughed that the tomb owner can really be "cunning"; the original tomb owner knows that after his burial, the tomb robbers will remember the burial products in the tomb, so they "played" a blindfold method and deceived all the tomb thieves.
He first used a sarcophagus weighing 3 tons, and buried the funerary products at the bottom of the sarcophagus, so that it could not be easily found and opened to steal the treasure; and the sarcophagus was also blocked in the entrance of the tomb, which can be described as "double insurance", so it successfully avoided the poisonous hands of nine waves of tomb robbers; fortunately, this ancient tomb was discovered by archaeologists, so that the treasures were seen again, properly collected in the museum, admired by the world, passing on the unique history and culture of the Chinese nation, and no longer had to worry about being invaded by stolen tomb thieves.
