Judging from the surface conditions of the six burial tombs, there should not have been stolen and excavated, and after the armored engineering vehicle savagely pushed away all the piles of large stones on the top, Chen Jianghua directed the engineering vehicle that had pushed the stones at the other end to shovel the other burial tomb that had not been stolen and excavated.

"Hanshu - The Biography of the Huns" contains: "The sun is on the Wuji. He was sent to death, with coffins, gold and silver, and clothes, but without sealing trees (no graves, no trees) and mourning clothes. The number of concubines from the dead to the nearest hundreds of people."

The "Book of Han" and the "Historical Records" also recorded that the Xiongnu had a style of martyrdom, and the corpses were buried at night, and if they were nobles, there would be some male ** subordinates and beautiful women who were martyred.

If the big order is hanging, the wives and concubines will sometimes be martyred as many as hundreds of people!

After the official funeral began, the Hun men would cut off their braids, cut their cheeks, and mourn their leaders with a mixture of blood and tears, as the Soviets found in the tombs of Xiongnu nobles found in Mongolia more than 50 years ago.

Some of these funeral customs of the Huns were told by Nong Bosheng and others in the past two days, and some Zhang Nan had known about it before, so he would like to see if these large-scale burial tombs were buried in the original unlucky eggs.

Officials deserve to be buried, and this treatment...

it!

You must know that the so-called burial tombs, some of them are the burial qualifications of the tomb owner after the natural death of the glorious, for example, some emperors in the Central Plains like to give this as a benefit to their most favored courtiers;

Miserable!

A very small number of diehards with a calcium deficiency in the brain are not counted.

The volume of this burial tomb is not small, Zhang Nan stared at this one for more than 2 hours to dig and get the sand on it, and I feel that the speed can be almost four meters: a ruler, three meters nine.

The engineering technique is good, and the pit wall is dug with a slight slope and smoothness according to the requirements.

It is easy to go straight up and down, but it is difficult to have a slight slope, and it is worthy of being a master of digging habitual fortifications.

Let the excavator go to the north to deal with another burial tomb, the engineering truck commanded by Chen Jianghua in front of it has only dug less than two-thirds of the way, no way, the digging bucket is a little smaller.

After two hours of work, everyone felt that the excavator was still not big enough, and Nong Bosheng felt the deepest!

At least 13,400 cubic meters of sand had to be dug up for the M1 tomb, and four 20-ton excavators were started at the same time, and four or five hundred cubic meters were dried up in more than two hours.

This work will also dig slower with the greater the depth of the working face, and if it is still this efficiency, it will have to dig for at least eight or nine days.

A tomb is trivial, but there are more than a dozen A-shaped tombs here, and everyone didn't think about coming again in the spring next year!

After not doing anything, Colonel Aleksandrov contacted Ulaanbaatar again, asking him to send a few more 40-ton large excavators over there, and it would be best to have more than ten or twenty of them!

No problem, if there is not enough in the army, ask the Mongols to rent, as long as the excavator does not want people.

What should I do if the road conditions for transporting heavy equipment are not good enough?

Small meaning, the garrison has a sufficient number of super wild MAZ-537 tank transporters, as long as you don't run into too many obstacles, you can transport heavy tanks on no road, the off-road performance is first-class, equipped with tank engines, and the transport excavator is even more meaningful.

The pit that Zhang Nan was guarding was dug up, went down to the two of them, and checked the situation again with a metal detector - Zhang Nan had been staring at the changes in soil quality before, and all the soil that was dug out was disturbed soil, and the position of the pit wall was standard native soil, no problem, this would make sure that the thing was about 1 meter below.

The next group of people has been watching the excitement for more than two hours, and the soldiers who have just been recuperating and doing nothing will go down to the grave and take big shovels and sappers to dry.

"Dig down 70 centimeters at most, you can't dig more!"

Zhang Nan watched from the edge of the pit, and after a while, he saw some signs: Colonel Aleksandrov did not brag, his soldiers had a very high level of earthwork, and they were not busy digging down the pit as soon as they got out of the pit, and they first roughly repaired the slope at the bottom to avoid collapse.

A group of 10 people adopts the method of digging bunkers, which can not interfere with each other in a small area of intensive construction, and the reserve team sits on the grass to rest, and changes shifts when they are tired of digging, so they pay attention to efficiency.

The excavated soil was sent up by a small crane on a construction truck, which was very efficient - there was still too little machinery, and many soldiers could not find work for the time being.

Since there are many idlers, take shifts to throw off the stick and do it.

Digging and digging, you can still take time to eat and drink and rest for half an hour to continue working when you change shifts on the side.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, without Zhang Nan's instructions, the people working below took the initiative to stop work: the color of the soil in some places changed slightly, and a golden object was dug up.

It's not gold, Nong Bosheng thought it was an ornament in front of the saddle after looking at it.

This horse was the closest friend of the Huns and the best burial object.

According to the funeral customs of the Xiongnu, the horses owned by the noble deceased were killed on the 3rd, 7th, and 49th days after the death of the owner, and the body of the horse was left for relatives and friends to eat, and the horse's head was buried in the ground.

There are usually no horse skulls at the bottom of the main grave, but the halters, saddles, and the owner's weapons are buried with them.

The saddle has been dug up, and this barbaric way has been dug up here for the time being, and it is time for Zhang Nan to get a few of them.

Zhang Nan took three bodyguards, four people were responsible for one section, and used the archaeological cleaning method suggested by Chen Jianghua, and directly cleaned it up layer by layer with a small shovel.

It's not barbaric, and it can't be said to be a surprise, so just go straight ahead.

Zhang Nan also complained a few words there: "This method can be used for archaeology, and it is not as fast and safe as Tufuzi's method." ”

Zhang Nan is used to using probes, there is no bamboo here, but there are a lot of bamboo chopsticks brought, which will not damage jade and porcelain.

But this is digging the tomb of the Huns 20 centuries ago, there is no porcelain, at most there may be some jade, and the shovel can be dealt with carefully, but this speed is not comparable to Zhang Nan's old method.

The gilt trim on the four saddles has been removed, and the leather and wood saddles are long gone.

After getting this thing, Zhang Nan got annoyed, and asked people to get the chopsticks to seal, showing that a handful of Tufuzi was extinct.

Insert it in, and quickly pry off the 20-centimeter-thick soil without any unusual feeling, and the speed is greatly accelerated.

There is no need to worry about the loss of small excavations, all the soil taken out from this depth is transported to the ground and then manually sifted to see if there are any items inside.

There are no remnants of the coffins, and the long years of the 20th century have allowed them to blend in with the nearby soil, causing a slight difference in color.

After digging for 20 minutes, Jiang Wangqiu on the side was the first to find something rare: a shovel went down, and a small piece of gold appeared in the soil.

"Boss, what do you think this thing is?"

Zhang Nan leaned over to take a look and said, "It seems to be a gold piece, I don't know what it is."

Remove the dirt from the top, don't move the gold flakes, and take pictures. ”
