The 61 headless stone people in front of Wu Zetian's tomb, which no one has understood for thousands of years, were cracked by two peasants
Wu Zetian was the first and only female emperor in the history of our country, and she left too many mysteries for posterity before and after her death, and after Wu Zetian abdicated, she issued a secret edict: go to the emperor's name, called Zetian Empress. And with his husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi buried in Qianling, before his death set up a wordless stele for himself, there is no biography on this tombstone, no political achievements, and this wordless stele shows that Wu Zetian does not care about history's evaluation of himself at all, and the merits are commented on by others.
In addition to Wu Zetian's wordless stele, the sixty-one headless stone people standing in front of her tomb are also curious, these sixty-one stone people have different shapes, the figure is no different from the real person, and the very strange clothes are not the uniform of the Tang Dynasty, especially these stone people have no heads, so for thousands of years caused countless literati and scholars to speculate, no one knows the origin of these stone people, nor do they know what they mean in front of Wu Zetian's tomb, until the two peasants found the truth.
In 1974, when two Shaanxi farmers were cultivating land, they dug out a stone from the ground, and then they kept digging nearby, and found sixty-one stones in a row, and later the two farmers reported to the government, and archaeologists found that these stones belonged to the stone people in front of Wu Zetian's tomb after comparison, and it turned out that these stone people were foreigners, so some people speculated that they were vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian erected stone people in front of the tomb to show the prosperity and openness of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, experts speculated that it may be because of an earthquake during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, which led to the difference in the heads of these stone people, but later after experimental simulations, they said that they were not established, and later guessed through the research data that these stone people may have been artificially destroyed, or it may be that the descendants of these clan ministers were particularly angry after they saw their ancestors bowing down to the central plains, so they destroyed these stone heads, what do you think is going on?
