What exactly is the black shards underneath the corpse?
Heilongjiang unearthed a thousand-year-old female corpse tomb, what is surprising is that the posture of the female corpse's death is really weird, and everyone who sees it feels cold.
Archaeologists found a strange pile of black scrap under the woman's body, and after testing, it turned out to be that kind of thing!
The mystery of the death of the thousand-year-old female corpse has finally been revealed, and it turns out that the owner of the tomb has experienced such cruel torture before death!
A strange female corpse was unearthed from the ancient tomb
In 1999, a pair of dry corpses of a man and a woman were found in an ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty in Heilongjiang, the male corpse had turned into a pile of powder, and the female corpse had a distorted face and spasms of hands and feet, which was quite weird. Amazingly, although the female corpse has been in the extremely humid tomb environment for more than 300 years, it still has not decayed.
Although there is nowhere to be found in the historical records, it is judged from some of the items in the tomb that it should be the tomb of the nobles. , the Ministry of Objects hurriedly sent experts to investigate, thus uncovering the history of the tomb owner's family. Experts found a large wooden coffin, which contained the remains of a male corpse, combined with the remaining relics at the scene, it can be roughly confirmed that this is the remains of a military attache of the third rank in the late Qing Dynasty, who has the right to rest in the cemetery.
The researchers also unearthed a small red lacquered wooden box, which they thought was that of ordinary poor people, but they found some broken gold and silver ornaments and some old coins. It is clear that the set was once worn by a person of higher status, further suggesting that the man was part of an aristocratic family.
Based on the available evidence, it was preliminarily determined that the man was a county magistrate, and an old newspaper found later showed that he was not a bribe-taker. The same newspaper reported a burglary in the neighborhood and estimated that the stolen valuables were hidden in the man's grave.
The police quickly caught the suspect's whereabouts and successfully solved the theft. In addition to recovering the stolen cultural relics, other members of the criminal gang were also arrested. Taking this opportunity, archaeologists continue to delve deeper into the hidden story behind the female corpse.
The cause of death is a mystery, and it is suspected that he was buried alive during childbirth
The female corpse's legs were bent, and the experts were very puzzled, but suddenly some black fragments were found under the female corpse, and everyone found that it was a placenta that had not yet formed, which shocked everyone present. This wreck made the female corpse's face look extremely hideous, but it also revealed a terrible truth, it turned out that the mother did not really die, but fell into a state similar to a coma due to difficult childbirth. But her family mistakenly thought she had died, so they hurriedly sent her into a huge sarcophagus and sealed her inside permanently.
In the cold darkness, all the painful struggles of this young mother were ignored by the ignorant people, who simply thought that she had left this world, and that she was trapped alone in the dark and cold depths of the earth, suffering endless torment and pain.
After careful investigation by scientists, this heart-wrenching secret is finally revealed, and the poor mother is not really dead, but deeply misunderstood and ignored. Due to the lack of proper medical care and technical support, she had to endure great pain and suffering, and lost her life forever.
We need to remember this sad story as a reminder that we must respect everyone's right to life and avoid a similar tragedy from happening again. There is nothing more important and precious than life, and we must do our best to protect every beating heart and let it grow and develop freely under the sun.
The owner of the tomb seems to be from the Qing Dynasty
The construction team accidentally excavated an ancient tomb, which is recorded to be the tomb of a Qing dynasty aristocratic family more than 600 years ago. When the workers opened the stone door and entered the tomb, they were amazed by the sight of beautiful frescoes carved on the four walls, and in the center was a huge lifelike wooden statue, as if it could come to life at any moment.
Most strikingly, on each side are a large black wooden box filled with portraits of people from hundreds of years ago. The painting depicts scenes of a family's life, including hunting, feasting, and leisure. What's more, some of the figures in the picture are dressed in court robes, apparently their ancestors.
But this speculation does not explain much more of the question of why such a magnificent tomb was built here, why is it so rich in artefacts, and the answer to the question seems to be hidden in this tomb.
Archaeologists have examined and measured the tomb in detail, and they have found a large number of bronze vessels, jade, gold and silver jewelry, and other precious objects inside the tomb, and the few beautifully painted portraits are even more breathtaking. The researchers also found a number of rare documents, including a pamphlet that chronicled the history of ancient Joseon, detailing the social conditions of the era and being extremely valuable.
Now everything has become a thing of the past with the passage of time, and only the remnants left by those builders remind the world of the regrets and sorrows of the past. Time has erased many memories, but we can still see the spiritual strength of the ancients and the perseverance of cultural self-confidence.
How terrible was it to have a difficult birth in women in ancient times?
Childbirth has always been one of the most important events in human history, and for ancient women, dystocia was a common life-and-death crisis. Their living conditions were extremely difficult and without the help of modern medicine, but in many cases, they managed to give birth to healthy babies, which is naturally inseparable from the hard work of experienced and skilled mothers.
In ancient times, women lived in harsh conditions during pregnancy, and lack of food led to malnutrition, which in turn affected the healthy development of the fetus. Due to the lack of medical knowledge and superstitious beliefs, many women misuse drugs or adopt improper lifestyles during pregnancy, further increasing the risk of dystocia.
Ancient women were often plagued by various diseases during pregnancy, such as anemia infection, which could lead to poor fetal growth and increase the risk of dystocia. Early marriage is also an important factor in the cause of dystocia, as most ancient adolescent girls have not yet reached maturity and their physiology is not fully developed to withstand the tremendous stress of childbirth.
In this case, the role of Wen Niang is very important. Wen Niang usually has a certain status and power in the family because they are vital to the life of the baby, Wen Niang has the experience and skills to help the birth of a newborn smoothly, they often observe the symptoms of the pregnant woman, determine when labor should begin, and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the mother and baby.
Sometimes, however, a stable situation can get out of control, and childbirth may cause dystocia or other complications that threaten the lives of both mother and child. Wen Niang will use the hair emetic method to save the mother, that is, forcibly spit out a hair that the patient has swallowed to alleviate the symptoms of suffocation. This approach, while simple, can make all the difference when it matters most.
Another method is to use a rolling pin to press on the patient's abdomen to help her speed up the delivery process. It may sound rude, but it can provide the necessary assistance to the mother at a critical time, and the women will carefully control the force when using the rolling pin to ensure that it can help the mother relieve her pain without causing her unnecessary harm.
There are also more extreme methods, such as cesarean section. This method is quite dangerous, as it requires a high level of skill and a calm mind. If there is no other option, it is also the last hope to protect the mother's life. In ancient times, cesarean section was an extremely rare life-saving procedure and was only used as a last resort. Due to the limitations of medical conditions at the time, the success rate of cesarean section surgery was not high, and many mothers were still not spared after the operation.
The ancient women made great sacrifices and contributions, and their work was full of risks and uncertainties, but they always stuck to their duties and missions. With her unique wisdom and courage, Wen Po has brought hope and light to countless lives, and deserves everyone's respect.
