What is the occupation in which ancient tombs are most discovered in the mainland today? Many people may say that it is an archaeological team or a tomb robber, after all, these two professions are closely related to ancient tombs, but in fact, these two occupations still do not find more tombs than construction workers. Whether it is the construction of water conservancy projects, or the construction of railways and subways, the probability of finding ancient tombs is actually not small.
Even Xi'an was forced to stop work because of the ancient tomb, and the ancient tomb mentioned below was discovered during the construction of the railway. In fact, when building the railway, it is a very troublesome thing to find the tomb, the construction site stop has become inevitable, and even if the tomb is too precious, the railway is to change the route, which is tantamount to overturning all the previous preparations.
Therefore, after the discovery of the tomb, the construction site was stopped, and the archaeological team surveyed the tomb. At that time, the archaeologists in charge of the survey had a conversation with the person in charge of the construction site just by digging up the sealed soil, which probably means that although it has not really been determined now, it is advisable to prepare for the diversion.
It turned out that the ancient tomb only excavated the sealing soil and emitted a fragrance if there is none, many of the novices in the archaeological team do not know what this fragrance is, but experienced people know that this fragrance represents a burial method in ancient mainland China, that is, the yellow intestine inscription, and this burial method is not available to the princes and nobles.
However, as the excavation progressed, the archaeological team was also a little disappointed, because there were obvious traces of theft on the periphery of the tomb, which meant that the value of the tomb would be greatly reduced. Finally, after careful screening, the archaeological team confirmed that the tomb had been stolen no less than twenty times, and the age was different, which was almost a representative of the tomb.
But the archaeological work should not be interrupted, but the railway should not be diverted. Therefore, the brick walls of the tomb were almost no longer necessary for protection, and finally the archaeological team entered the tomb and found that they were still a little too pessimistic. Although the traces of theft in the tomb are very obvious, more than 500 very precious cultural relics have been unearthed.
And the most researchable thing in the tomb has not been destroyed, that is, the tomb owner's epitaph. And to know that the yellow intestine inscription itself is a very precious cultural relic, and this cultural relics can not be transported by the tomb thieves, unless it is an official thief, otherwise the general tomb robbers want to transport away the yellow intestine inscription is very difficult.
However, the most special cultural relics in this tomb are not these, but some tomb robbery tools from the Tang Dynasty. Although these tomb robbery tools were not precious during the Tang Dynasty, they now seem to be cultural relics. Even these tomb robbery tools have now become the treasures of a museum, which is also lamentable.
