Archeology's nine-story demon tower, why didn't you dare to continue digging the seven floors?

The nine-story demon tower is real. It is a very large ancient tomb located in Rehui Township, Qinghai Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is called "Xuewei No. 1 Tomb". It is one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in 1996. National key cultural relics protection unit, the tomb belongs to the Tuyuhun royal family tomb in the early Tang Dynasty, and it is also the first Tuyuhun tomb discovered in China.

After the case was solved, relevant state departments also quickly organized archaeological experts to conduct archaeological excavations. The first was the first and second floors of the top that were destroyed by tomb robbers. A large number of cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty and more than 700 bones of cattle and sheep were cleared. In addition, among the many cultural relics, there are leather boots, Tibetan wooden slips, Mongolian wood chips, colorful wood paintings, and gold and silver. Jewelry, wooden plates, wooden carvings of birds and animals, food, and a lot of precious silk fabrics that are relatively intact. Experts also excavated five trenches for burial of horses and thirteen circular burial burial holes for cattle and dogs around the tomb, and removed all the bones of 87 horses and many other livestock bones.

This tomb has grand regulations, as can be seen from the use of cypress: because of its slow growth, cypress is very precious. A thick-mouthed cypress tree will grow for nearly 200 years. This shows that the identity of the tomb owner is very noble. According to expert calculations, it would take 10,000 people to work hard for a year to build such a tomb. There are many large and small tombs near the nine-story demon building, but most of them have been stolen.

Furthermore, under the historical background of the country, the mastery of archaeological excavation technology was immature, plus a large amount of cultural relic preservation technology and archaeological excavation caused by immature archaeological excavation in the previous Dingling The destruction of precious cultural relics made archaeologists fear that the continued excavation of the nine-story demon tower would repeat the mistakes of Dingling. Therefore, the archaeological excavation project of the nine-story demon tower was only carried out to the second level and stopped. At the same time, this is also the official's only positive response to the reason why the archaeological excavation of the nine-story demon tower ended.
