The most mysterious place of time should be its irreversibility. Time never goes back, and what happened in the past is difficult to repeat, especially after a long period of precipitation. At present, people's search for ancient times can only stay on the books and some cultural relics, and the source of these materials depends to a large extent on the excavation of ancient tombs. Because the ancient tombs have been successfully opened, the truth of history has gradually appeared in front of our eyes, but at the same time, it has also brought a lot of confusion to people. Perhaps this is the root of human exploration and continuous progress.
China in ancient times for a long time, tomb robbers rampant, resulting in many cultural relics tombs were destroyed, but there are also many by the government in time to find, rescue excavation and protection, the mystery of history presented in front of people, the most mysterious of which should be Changsha Mawangdui Han Tomb, a tomb that reappeared in front of people's eyes after more than two thousand years, bringing too much shock to mankind, and even some people call it "the world's first demon tomb", because too many things it unearthed are too shocking.
In late 1971, on an ordinary day, local workers continued to work for the renovation of the 366 War Preparedness Hospital, when suddenly an unknown gas appeared. Just at this moment, another worker not far away was ready to smoke to relieve his fatigue, when suddenly an explosion sounded, and the legendary "ghost fire" appeared, which made people flee everywhere even in that special era. It was under such circumstances that the Mawangdui Han Tomb began to appear in front of people.
Yes, you guessed it right, the sudden appearance of "ghost fire" and the sound of explosions is the self-protection mechanism of the Mawangdui Han Tomb. As soon as the news came out, the director of the local museum immediately inquired about the relevant information and finally determined that this would be a historical tomb group, and in the further investigation of the time, it was from the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and the owner of this tomb group was the famous Taoist Licang who helped Liu Bang successfully seize the world.
There are a total of three graves in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, from No. 1 to No. 3, which are Mrs. Xin Chai, Li Cang himself, and Li Cang's son. In these three graves, more than three thousand precious artifacts have been unearthed, and it should be noted that this is already in the case of partial destruction. Because at that time, due to the limited technology and the special reasons of the times, the manpower and labor force were limited, so that the Mawangdui Tomb, which had been preserved for more than 2,000 years, was not completely presented.
But even so, the artifacts unearthed at Mawangdui are still shocking, and some of them cannot even be simulated at the current level of technology. It is precisely for this reason that the title of the First Demon Tomb has gradually spread. However, the Mawangdui Tomb has actually been listed as one of the world's top ten ancient tombs in 2016.
Among the more than 3,000 cultural relics unearthed in Mawangdui, mysteries are revealed everywhere. Silk fabrics, books, paintings, Chinese herbs and even some foods, their preservation methods and production methods are breathtaking, and people have found lotus flakes that humans ate more than 2,000 years ago, which are still clearly visible today. However, compared with the lotus tablets, these three cultural relics are more legendary, which casts a mysterious veil over the Mawangdui Han Tomb.
The most shocking thing is probably the body of Mrs. Xin Chai. Why do you say this, because even after more than two thousand years, when Mrs. Xin Chai returned to the world, her hair was still there, her fingerprints were still clear, her soft tissues were elastic, and even her hand and foot joints could move. At that time, in order to better protect the body of Mrs. Xin Chai, people injected antiseptic fluids, and it was found that the capillaries inside it were clearly visible. This has to be surprising, because when the female corpse of more than two thousand years was first unearthed, it was not much different from the female corpse that died for two weeks, and it could not help but be amazing.
Of course, in this regard, the expert's explanation is naturally because the seal is intact, because Mrs. Xin Chai's body has a total of nine layers of protection, the outermost layer has excellent water absorption and moisture absorption, to prevent the entry of moisture and oxygen, and it is precisely because of the existence of the outermost two layers that the complete body of Mrs. Xin Chai is protected. However, it should be noted that these two waterproof and moisture-proof materials are difficult to manufacture at present, so why did the Han Dynasty appear more than 2,000 years ago?
The second is the mysterious plain gauze shirt, which is a national first-class cultural relic. What is shocking about an ancient dress, if you look at the style, there is really nothing to be shocked about, but its weight has become a mystery for eternity. Because experts found that this well-preserved plain gauze shirt weighs only 49 grams, which means that a piece of clothing can be stored in a matchbox, even modern times can not achieve such a textile process.
Of course, after some experts proposed, this is because they used the special material of the three-sleep silkworm silk, and the three-sleep silkworm has long been extinct, and it is mainly the four-sleep silkworm at present. However, after the three sleeping silkworms were re-bred, the sleeves and collars were removed before they barely approached the weight of this plain gauze shirt, so the current technology could not replicate the plain gauze shirt. The world's "first demon tomb" has unearthed many national treasures, and many modern technologies cannot be copied.
Finally, there is the mysterious book of the De Dao Sutra. Seeing this, some people may wonder, we have heard the Tao Te Ching, what is the De Dao Jing? In fact, the Dedao Jing is the original version of the Tao Te Ching, or the De Dao Jing is the true Tao Te Ching. Because the "Tao Te Ching" circulated in later generations was revised by the emperor to facilitate his own rule over the country. So although Licang, who was an auxiliary emperor, was a Taoist, why could he keep such a book? You know, before that, qin shi huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and the cultural circulation at that time was not as widespread and convenient as it is now.
3 rare treasures were unearthed, which made this "first demon tomb" covered with mystery, and there is still no solution. Changsha Mawangdui is draped in layer after layer of mysterious veils waiting for people to unveil and explore the truth of history. What do you think about that?
