In daily life, our understanding of ancient tombs is through books, movies and TV series, and novels and TV series on tomb robbery are even more popular throughout the country. Ancient people painstakingly set up layers of organs for the protection of their own tombs, and today Xiaobian will take stock of the six most dangerous organs in ancient tombs.
A chain crossbow
Bow crossbows have been quite common as thousands of years ago, used for conquest and protection of the country, and the machine crossbow is mechanically designed and manufactured, the design and production level is relatively to a higher stage, the trigger is controlled by the mechanism, generally in the ancient tomb wall hole or hidden place is not easy to perceive, such as intruders into the tomb trigger mechanism, then there is nowhere to escape. According to experts' consideration and analysis, this kind of crossbow has a range of more than five hundred meters and a tension of several hundred pounds.
Two water storage
Water storage tombs are rare, because the way of storing water will cause the ancient tomb to be destroyed, and the ancient people's awareness of the protection of their own mausoleums will rarely use this mechanism. Once the tomb is used, the tomb robbers will drown if they break in.
Three collapsed boulders
The boulder is placed at the top of the burial chamber, and the tomb robbers break into the trigger mechanism, and the boulder falls, sealing the exit, and the tomb robbers are either smashed to death or trapped. Obviously, this kind of mechanism is set up to allow tomb robbers to come and go.
Four quicksand
Quicksand tombs, this peculiar anti-theft mechanism is also quite exquisitely designed. The use of sand and stone accumulation, no matter from which direction to excavate, the tomb robber digging the grave to dig the sand layer, a large amount of sand will flow into the burial chamber, sand fills the tomb, and the tomb roof will collapse, which effectively prevents theft. Of course, if you accidentally fall into the quicksand, you can only be with the tomb owner.
Five mercury pools
A pool was built in the burial chamber filled with mercury, which everyone knew was a highly toxic substance. The closed burial chamber that does not see the light of day for many years will be filled with a large number of toxic gases containing mercury, and those who break into the tomb will be poisoned to death in a short time, so the mercury pool is based on toxic gases full of mercury to prevent theft.
Six flaps
The flap mechanism is a more common one, as the name suggests, that is, in the cemetery leading to the burial chamber, set up a trap, the pit is arranged with a sharp weapon such as a knife fall, the upper layer is covered with a cover of the flap, the flap with a roller, if you accidentally step on the flap, you will fall under the pit and be pierced by the sharp weapon in the pit and die. There is also a similar mechanism, which is also used for the principle of flap, except that the flap hook hangs an iron chain, and the chain hanging stone slab or boulder hanging above the top of the tomb, stepping on the flap, the flap hook is disconnected from the chain, the stone slab will fall, and the tomb robber will be buried here.
Chinese culture has a long history, and the cultural relics unearthed in ancient tombs have immeasurable value for the study of history and culture, and every citizen has the obligation and responsibility to protect and love our culture.
