Revealing China’s first "cruel tomb", 80 tomb thieves tragically died in the tomb. Experts dug up and dug them up
Since ancient times, my country has attached great importance to tomb culture. In the ancient thoughts, the dead will enter another world. Therefore, the ancients always treated the dead with an attitude of life as life. "Ancient tombs" have always been one of the topics that everyone talks about. From the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin to the Ming Tombs, the Tombs of Cixi, etc., these are all large tombs. As countless gold and silver jewelry in the mausoleum were unearthed, the industry of tomb robbery gradually emerged. The biggest tomb robbery in history must have been heard by everyone, that is, Sun Dianying's tomb robbery. Tomb robbers don't know how many treasures were stolen. Cixi's Ye Mingzhu, Qianlong's Dynasty Pearl and Nine Dragon Sword were all stolen.
This tomb is China's first "cruel tomb". 80 tomb robbers died in the tomb. Which tomb is this? It starts with the excavation of an ancient tomb in Hubei. A small community in Xiangyang, Hubei Province planned to build a new building. When the foundation was dug, a stone stele was unearthed suddenly with many unreadable ancient characters inscribed on it. For a while, the workers realized that there might be a tomb underground, so they reported the situation to the local cultural relics protection department, and the archaeological experts immediately went to investigate.
Later, after an expert survey, it was confirmed that there was an ancient tomb under the construction site, and it was a tomb from the Five Dynasties period. The discovery of the ancient tomb made the experts extremely excited, but this emotion did not last long, because in the subsequent excavation process, archaeologists continued to find stolen holes, the number as many as dozens. As the excavation proceeded, the archaeologists soon dug to the end of the tomb. Surprisingly, a cliff about 7 meters deep appeared at the end of the tomb where the coffin was supposed to be placed. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into it. Experienced experts keenly observed that this is a typical "quick sand tomb."
Tomb thieves tend to ignore the sand when digging a hole. After entering the tomb, the sand flows in with the recessed hole, blocking the hole, resulting in lack of oxygen and unable to breathe. Many tomb robbers died of suffocation in this way. It is precisely because of this that the cultural relics in the tomb will be so well preserved.
In addition to the owner of this tomb,There are more than 80 corpses of tomb robbers, calling it "China's No. 1 Tomb", which can be said to be more appropriate. However, the death of more than 80 people in this tomb was not directly caused by the owner of the tomb. If they didn't think about coming to the tomb, their lives would not be lost here in vain. Subsequently, archaeologists sorted out many well-preserved cultural relics in this tomb. Because the anti-theft measures for this tomb are well done, the preservation of the tombs is also very good. Experts have found many traces of research value.
Although cultural relics do have very high value and are very attractive to some people, at the same time, we should realize that cultural relics have historical research significance, and they should be used as reminiscences of history Credentials, rather than becoming commodities traded in the market. Although the organs of the quicksand tomb looks very cruel, the tomb robbery itself is wrong. This kind of quicksand tomb can protect the owner of the tomb from outside intrusion. At the same time, it also preserves the precious cultural relics in the tomb, which makes people amazed. At the same time, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
