I was supposed to dig sweet potatoes, but I dug up the treasure. It was originally a thousand-year-old corpse, but it suddenly had a "breath".
In 1985, Zhang Qiumin, who went up the mountain to dig sweet potatoes, inadvertently dug up a hosta. After the archaeological team arrived, they found that the corpse of the underground tomb was actually moving. What's going on here?
It wasn't until archaeologists rushed to the scene that Zhang Qiumin realized that such an amazing secret was hidden in the barren mountains of this remote village. An ancient tomb with no known dynasty and scale is enough to fascinate all archaeologists.
Zhang Qiumin's recollection of his experience that day is also quite bizarre. I was able to dig up the sweet potato mountain smoothly before, but I didn't see a single sweet potato that day. I only remember that a light flashed, and he looked down to see that there was a hosta buried in the soil that looked very valuable.
At that time, Zhang Qiumin didn't realize anything, but he felt that this hosta looked like a cultural relic, so he handed it over to the local museum. Director Xia saw the hosta and was extremely excited and surprised.
The experienced curator Xia recognized at a glance that this hairpin was not a modern product. And even in ancient times, if you can have this kind of hosta, your identity is either rich or noble. Thinking that there was very likely to be an ancient tomb under this barren mountain, he immediately sent an archaeological team there.
When the archaeological team went to the site to carry out the excavation work, something unexpected happened. There is a robbery hole next to the ancient tomb. It may be that some tomb robbers have taken the lead.
Fortunately, the next discovery made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Upon closer inspection, the cave was only 20 centimeters deep, and the tomb robbers did not succeed. The hole was hit right on the red sandstone, and the hard rock layer was a deterrent for tomb robbers.
The archaeological team members brought electric drills and other tools to continue digging deeper. But as the excavation progressed, the mystery of this ancient tomb became more and more puzzling.
Judging by the previous hosta, this should have been a high-profile tomb. However, the outside of the tomb looks very ordinary, and there are no anti-theft measures. The tomb was built under a layer of rock, not in the soil.
There are two coffins inside the tomb, and there are two layers of sarcophagi outside the coffin. You must know that in ancient times, people who could use this kind of cement material close to modern cement to build coffins generally did not have a simple identity, and the outer sarcophagus of the most noble tomb of the Son of Heaven was seven-fold.
Both coffins are well preserved, and the carvings on them are still vivid. All kinds of circumstances show that this tomb is extremely sealed. When one of the coffins is revealed, the mystery of the mysterious tomb is finally revealed.
But this result made everyone in the archaeological team dumbfounded, and even some scalps were numb. What is it in the coffin that shocks even experienced archaeologists?
I saw that the female corpse in the coffin still retained the appearance of her life, with a fair complexion and a beautiful appearance, without the slightest smell of decay. The female corpse also held a peach twig in her hand, fresh as if it had just been plucked from the tree.

And that's when the big changes happen. In just a few breaths, the female corpse's tongue gradually stretched out very long, her stomach slowly expanded, and the peach branches in her hands quickly turned black and rotten.
Everyone was startled, thinking that this strange female corpse would come back to life like a "fraudulent corpse". But fortunately, this did not happen, and the female corpse quickly dried up after swelling, and she could no longer see what she looked like before she was born.
Archaeologists recovered from the shock and began to study the burial objects inside the tomb. What is puzzling is that no documents about the identity of the tomb owner have been found in the tomb.
At a loss, the identity of the tomb owner was finally revealed as another coffin was opened.

I saw that there was a male corpse of an old man lying in the coffin, as if he was asleep, giving people the illusion that he was still breathing, and even the blood vessels seemed to be clearly visible.
But the miraculous thing is that after a few minutes of time, the male corpse is still in a state of non-decomposition, and there is no terrifying mutation of the female corpse.
In order to find out the cause, Director Xia consulted professional researchers. After examination, the researchers found that the embalming measures of the female corpse were not done well, so after contact with the air, the bacteria in the body immediately began to decompose the corpse.
The male corpse was already a 78-year-old man before his death, and there was little water in his body, so there was not much residual bacteria, so the body was sealed intact.
Researchers also learned the identities and dynasties of the two from the spirit tablets in the coffin of the male corpse. This is a tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, the old man is a local Zhizhou named Huang Chengcun, and the woman is Tan, who is his wife.
And because the Yuan Dynasty existed for a short time in history and was an ethnic minority, archaeologists searched through historical materials and found no other information about these two people.
The discovery of this ancient tomb has brought many reference values to the study of the history of the Yuan Dynasty. In the face of these "pearls" left in the long history, archaeologists must not only collect and search for them from all over the world, but also strengthen protection to prevent theft and destruction.
