The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is located in Lishan Park, Lintong County, Xi'an City, once discovered, it caused a great sensation, people have reverence for Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, are eager to open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang as soon as possible, but why Qin Shi Huang's Tomb has not been opened, is it really because the mausoleum is full of organs, and there are quicksand and mercury hidden everywhere, let's find out below.
The reason why the tomb of Qin Shi Huang was not opened
In 1962, mainland archaeologists conducted the first comprehensive survey of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and detected an area of 56 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 78 Forbidden City, which caused a global sensation at that time.
According to Duan Qingbo, the person in charge of the load survey at that time, the large-scale underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was below the top of the sealed mound and its surroundings.
Many people will wonder why the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was discovered decades ago, but it has not been opened yet? In fact, the reason is that the complexity and variety, such as the complex mechanism that is widely mentioned, is only one reason that is very small and almost not to be feared.
There are many institutions in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang
According to historical records, there are countless hidden mechanisms in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, including repeating crossbows, quicksand layers, ambush fires, mercury pools, etc. These delicate mechanisms are enough to kill the tomb robbers without leaving a single piece of armor behind. If you are not careful, the repeater will shoot people into a hornet's nest, and if you touch a layer of quicksand, you will directly bury the grave robber alive.
In addition, the mercury pool is a big problem that cannot be solved, and a large amount of toxic gases will be produced after the mercury volatilizes, so the airtight and uncirculated air in the underground palace cannot be breathed at all.
However, none of the organs of this path is the biggest obstacle.
The protection of cultural relics remains the biggest challenge
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has not been excavated for decades, mainly because the archaeological community is afraid of destroying the precious artifacts that have been inside for thousands of years.
These artifacts that have been in the dust for thousands of years can be very fragile, and if they are not protected by sophisticated technology, they may be seen again, or they will be destroyed.
Therefore, at present, the cultural relics protection technology is not mature enough, in order to protect this splendid thousand-year-old civilization, it is still necessary to wait quietly, waiting for the day when the technology is enough to protect them, and then uncover this eternal mystery
