Two coffins in a tomb, and the body moves on its own after the coffin is opened? What exactly is the unknown gas released, who is the owner of the tomb, and why does he hold the spirit card after death? Why is it that one of them, from the same tomb, quickly decays as soon as it is unearthed, while the other is intact? Come with these questions to decipher the truth.
Excavation site of ancient tombs
A double coffin
Digging sweet potatoes dug out the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty! On this day, the villagers of Shuangqiao Town took a hoe to dig sweet potatoes up the mountain. After half a day, I didn't see the shadow of sweet potatoes, and only pulled out a jade hairpin. When you look at it, you know that this hairpin is not ordinary. On second thought, this hairpin was dug out of the ground, and it was difficult to become a cultural relic! So I handed it over to the local antiquities office.
Experts take over
Old Zhang
The hairpin in his hand felt that this hairpin was not ordinary, and he asked him where he got it from. He told the story of his discovery of the hairpin, and the expert decided to leave immediately to see the scene. As soon as I arrived at the scene, I saw that the sarcophagus on the outer layer of the tomb had been exposed. Time is not waiting for anyone, experts decided to immediately excavate the tomb.
Funeral jade hairpin
But the situation in the tomb amazes the experts! What exactly is in the tomb that excites experts so much? It turned out that during the excavation of the tomb, experts found it
In this tomb there are two coffins,
The pattern on the top is even more visible. Since the outer layer is so well preserved, what will the body of the owner of the tomb look like?
As soon as the museum opened, the first thing I saw was the peach branch in the hands of the owner of the tomb. According to experts,
The peach branch was fresh as if it had just been cut down from the mountain and put on it, full of life.
But after the coffin was opened, the peach branches began to wither rapidly and become pitch black.
The sarcophagus of the tomb owner
Although the body of the owner of the tomb was not as good as the peach branch and had slight decay, the whole body was still elastic. The whole coffin is full of coffin liquid, and the funerary products are also soaked in the brown-red coffin liquid.
A terrifying scene appeared, but the body in the coffin suddenly moved, and the whole stomach went up and down there.
And that's not all, the body in the coffin began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was beyond recognition.
Who is the owner of this tomb? Why did the body suddenly move? Just when the experts were puzzled, a detail on the corpse gave the answer.
That is, the female corpse's tongue is exposed!
Some people will wonder what the answer is, don't worry, let's look down.
Because the embalming of the owner of the tomb is not very good, some parasitic bacteria have been produced in her body. There was a reaction when the coffin was opened, causing a lot of qi in her body.
There was the illusion that the corpse was moving, and the corpse's tongue was flushed out by the gas.
The body then began to decompose rapidly.
As for who the owner of the tomb is, on the silk cloth of the coffin inside the coffin, it is clearly written
"Mrs. Tam"
Four words. However, the experts searched through the historical materials and did not find this "Mrs. Tan", and there was no way but to find clues from another coffin. The expert opened the lid of another coffin, and the first thing he saw was not the body of the owner of the tomb.
It is a spirit card made of nan wood.
It is understood that the spirit card was a folk practice at that time, commonly known as the land deed, that is, when you go to the Yin Cao Mansion after you die, you must first buy land and buy the proof of the Yin house. With this tomb, the owner can have his own house below.
After removing the spirit card, I saw the body of the tomb owner, the degree of preservation of the corpse, giving people a sense of grandeur, the entire face of the corpse, just like a real person asleep. It is shiny and can move on all fours. The body did not appear to be decomposing, and experts rushed to embalm the male corpse after the shock.
The body of the owner of the tomb
At this point, people can't understand, "Mrs. Tan" is from the same tomb as him, why did "Mrs. Tan" quickly become corrupt as soon as it was unearthed? What is the identity of the owner of the tomb?
The answer given by experts to this is that the subcutaneous fat of women is thicker than that of men, and the water in the body is also more, and these fats and waters are conducive to the breeding of bacteria, resulting in rapid decay after she opens the coffin. And who is the owner of the tomb?
Ancient tomb funerary products
The constant appearance of funerary items in the burial chamber is enough to prove that the identity of the owner of the tomb is not simple. On the spiritual tablet of the owner of the male tomb, it was written impressively on the Great Yuan Kingdom, where the family lived, and who the lady was. Here, it can be basically judged that the owner of the tomb was a nobleman before his death. whereas
Huang Chengcun
It was the "Lady Tan" who was his wife. In addition, the spirit tablet also says that the owner of the tomb was born in the Southern Song Dynasty and died in the ninth year of Yuan Dade.
And the tomb also found one of the oldest advertisements - substitute commodity packaging advertisements,
Similar to the one in the China History Museum in Beijing. However, the most regrettable thing is the wife of the owner of the tomb, if he can be well preserved with his wife, it is a rare husband and wife in the history of Chinese archaeology that does not decompose the wet corpse.
