Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some people have begun to engage in the industry of tomb robbery. Most of the tomb robbers are outlaws, they are not highly educated, they are not fond of the ancient tombs that are deep underground, in the eyes of the tomb robbers, no matter how deep and difficult the ancient tombs are, they will risk their lives at all costs to dig.
Unexpectedly, some tomb robbers will also be careless when stealing ancient tombs, such as accidentally dropping their belongings in the tombs.
The thing we want to tell you today is that it happened at the beginning of this century, when a group of tomb robbers stole an ancient tomb, this ancient tomb was just discovered by archaeologists, and the things inside were stolen by tomb thieves one by one, but one thing was left behind, and this thing was a very popular cassette tape at that time.
01
In the small village of Hebei, there was an extraordinary and huge Tang Dynasty tomb, and the tomb robbers were strong first
In the tianzhuang area of Quyang County, Hebei Province, there are many ancient tombs from the Tang Dynasty, and many experts often come here to explore, of course, there are also many tomb robbers. And this ancient tomb where the tape was dropped is located here.
The scale of this ancient tomb is very huge, the diameter of the entire main burial chamber reaches 7.6 meters, in the face of such a huge ancient tomb, how did the tomb robbers do it?
At that time, at the end of the New Year, many villagers began to release the Cannon of the New Year, and the tomb robbers also took advantage of this to blow up the tomb in the noisy New Year. The sound of the explosion is no different from the sound of firecrackers, and the local villagers naturally do not easily find it.
However, the paper could not contain the fire, and when the villagers found that there was a leaked hole, they chose to call the police. In addition to the police, there are also archaeologists who come to investigate.
After careful exploration, experts found that the tomb had suffered severe damage. Therefore, the relevant personnel began to organize preliminary exploration. Thankfully, the tomb robbers did not find the palace buried deep in the tomb, they only stole the small tomb above, and experts guessed that there should be little loss.

Archaeologists found a box of English tapes in the tomb, and it is not simple to guess the identity of the tomb robber
After being reported to the higher authorities for approval, archaeologists launched a rescue excavation here. The palace under the tomb is about 700 square meters, and from the specifications of the palace and tomb, the identity of the owner of the tomb must be that of a high-ranking official and nobleman.
With the in-depth excavation of several days and nights, the excavated cultural relics not only have gold and silver jewelry, but also some exquisite porcelain and rare treasures, after a detailed appraisal of these cultural relics, archaeologists found that the cultural relics in the ancient tombs were not Han Dynasty things, but the famous Festival of the Tang Dynasty at that time made Li Qingchen own!
Digging up these artifacts may not be a big deal, and in the next exploration work, it is surprising that archaeologists have found an English tape, which is really frightening. Why are there English tapes in the tombs?
Archaeologists speculated that this English tape may have been left by a tomb robber, according to the contents of the tape, archaeologists predicted that the tomb robber should be a cultured person, many students, that is, teachers, or people engaged in translation work, the identity of the tomb robber is not simple, is a knowledgeable person.

The tape appeared in the tomb, and the archaeologists were furious and humiliated
When the archaeologists saw the cassette tape, their faces darkened and they were furious. The appearance of modern things in the tomb is a shameful and humiliating thing for archaeologists, and it is not known whether this cassette tape was deliberately dropped by the tomb robbers or accidentally lost?
In short, it is undeniable that the tomb robber is strong first, in the archaeological community, the most taboo is that the tomb robber is faster than the archaeologist, there is always such a saying on the rivers and lakes, archaeology is not as good as the tomb robber, the tomb robber can do a dig a quasi.
In fact, this is not that archaeologists can't find it, but that those tombs that do not meet the conditions for excavation are better to bury them first. Seeing this ancient tomb let the tomb robbers take the lead and left behind english tapes, naturally every archaeologist was furious.
