<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" >01, Ghosts of the Night</h1>
At night, it was eerily quiet all around. A few dark shadows sneaked in front of a tall hill.
In front of them was a deep black hole, the size of which one person could enter.
"Boss, why hasn't there been any movement?" One of them was a little anxious, staring straight at the black hole and asking.
, I don't know what the hell this thing is! It's been so long..." The other person took a bite, very upset!
This gang is the "Captain Touching Gold", and this time he has his eye on a big cargo!
This huge mound in front of them is actually the sealing soil of an ancient tomb, such a high sealing soil, they are also the first time to see, you can imagine how honorable the people buried here are!
So, in the middle of the night, several people worked together to open a robbery hole, and one of them volunteered to go down the hole, and never came up again...
Time passed minute by minute, and inside the dark deep cave entrance, there was not a single movement in sight.
At first, you could still hear the sound of people digging the soil inside, but now there is no sound!
Suddenly, there was a "boom", and a smell of earthy fish burst out of the mouth of the cave, and the leader screamed in his heart that it was not good, and there was something strange in this ancient tomb, so it was important to flee for his life...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >02, Otayama Otsuka</h1>
Time does not know how long it has been, the four seasons have changed, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, and it is 1986.
This year, Hubei will soon start the construction project of "Jingsha Railway" from Jingmen to Shashi. The project had not yet begun, but the first to arrive was an archaeological team.
Originally, Wangchang Village, Shilipu Town, Jingmen City, towered over a huge mound of sealed earth. The sealing mound is impartial and just stuck on the railway planning line!
This is not an ordinary hill bag, this is an ancient tomb of the Warring States that has been discovered decades ago - Bao Shan Dazuka.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the immature archaeological technology, although this tomb was discovered, it was not excavated. Now, decades later, coupled with the need for railway construction, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage finally decided to rescue the excavation of this ancient tomb.
After preliminary preparations, under the detection of professional instruments, the general structure of this tomb came out:
It is a vertical pit tomb with steps. The tomb passage is 19 meters long, and the length and width of the tomb opening have reached 30 meters, and the shape is judged to be the tomb of the Chu State!
The previous data made the members of the Jingmen Archaeological Research Institute extremely excited, because this was the largest tomb of the Chu nobles found in Jingmen so far!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" >03, fire-breathing tombs</h1>
This super tomb, from the very beginning of excavation, is destined to be extraordinary.
Just when the staff dug down with the probe shovel, there was a "weird" scene!
On this day, the depth of the probe shovel had reached more than ten meters, and the shovel brought up some almost brand-new bamboo mat fragments!
Experienced archaeologists know that this is already exploring the upper floor of the tomb!
At this moment, I saw an archaeologist standing next to the caverning and preparing to smoke a cigarette, and suddenly shouted!
Only to see a blue flame suddenly jump out of the deep hole, almost burning his eyebrows!
Who knows, it was this time of emergency that made the team leader happy blossom!
It turned out that encountering this kind of ancient tomb that would spew fire was considered good luck! Because only the catacombs are in a very well closed condition to produce biogas after a long burial, the lighter of the archaeologists ignites the gas in the cave and makes it burn...
In other words, this super tomb should not have been stolen! Isn't that good news?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >04, 18 meters deep tomb</h1>
A huge excavation work continued, due to the huge earthwork of the tomb, the sealing soil to be cleaned and the burial soil to be cleaned reached 300,000 cubic meters, and the archaeological team hired more than 1,000 local migrant workers!
In the process of clearing the sealed soil, the team members successively found three robbery holes.
In one of the caves nearly 15 meters deep, a human skeleton was also found!
Apparently, this grave robber suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen after entering such a deep robbery hole! This is the ancient group of tomb robbers mentioned at the beginning of the article!
In fact, the tomb was only about a meter away from him, but it was spared because of the death of the tomb robber!
Exactly 6 months have passed, and for the first time, people have truly seen the burial chamber buried deep underground for more than 2,000 years!
On the day of opening the tomb, all the villagers in the eight townships gathered together, and at most they reached 10,000 people! People are very curious about this nobleman of the Chu State and hope to see his true appearance at the first time!
It is a huge rafter, 6.32 meters long, 6.26 meters wide and 3.1 meters high. The interior of the chamber is divided into 5 sub-chambers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" >05, stunning national treasure</h1>
This excavation unearthed unprecedented precious cultural relics, each of which is a national treasure!
The splendid culture of chu country has attracted the attention of the world at this moment!
According to statistics, a total of 1935 cultural relics were excavated from Baoshan Otsuka, including 59 bronze ceremonial vessels, 14 musical instruments, 72 weapons, 445 Jian Mu, 269 living utensils, and 1435 carriage and horse tools.
The Tomb of Baoshan Chu unearthed "China's First Mandarin Duck Cup" - lacquerware used in the night of the flower candle in the cave of the new person.
The earliest foldable wooden bed in China – a wooden bed made entirely of tenon and tenon structures – is so well preserved that archaeologists can easily refold and unfold it!
China's best-preserved phoenix and bird coffin, the tomb owner's coffin is very beautiful, more than 2,000 years of age has not let it fade away from the bright colors of the past, depicting the dragon and phoenix pattern is stunning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" >06, Who is the owner of the tomb? </h1>
Looking at these burial items that dazzle modern people, the archaeologists are more concerned about the identity of the tomb owner!
The answer may be within this dragon and phoenix-patterned coffin! The time to open the coffin has finally arrived...
This time, the identity of the tomb owner was answered by hundreds of well-preserved Jian Mu!
This is one of the three powerful families from the Chu Kingdom of "Qu, Jing, and Zhao", a person of the Zhao clan! His name was "Zhaotuo".
The exact time of Zhaotuo's burial is also accurately interpreted in Jian Mu:
June 29, 316 BC in the Chu calendar.
This was a vice-chancellor of the state who was in charge of the military of the "Zuo Yin" of the Chu state, and his power was only under the King of Chu and "Ling Yin", and he sat firmly in the third place in the country.
His noble origins and powerful official positions are all the reasons why Zhaotuo can have such a luxurious tomb!
Inside the coffin of the Dragon phoenix, Zhaotuo's bones were not completely decayed, and after scientific testing, people came up with information that his age of death was 35-40 years old.
More than two thousand years have passed, and the supreme military commander of the Chu state at that time has re-entered the vision of modern people.
In a shocking way...
