Don't crowd into the crowd, don't join in the fun, grandpa's classic admonition is only for situations beyond your control, obviously not applicable to the actual situation in the camp.

There must be a special reason for Russian experts to find Nong Bosheng to see them, Zhang Nan immediately decided to join in the excitement, and the driver left in a direction!

The cemetery to be visited in the westernmost part of the entire cemetery, about two kilometers from the M1 tomb, was in charge of the excavation by a Russian expert named Mikhainovich, in his 60s, with the title of professor, who is said to be the younger brother of Nong Bosheng when he was studying in Moscow, only one year short.

However, the two of them didn't know each other at all 40 years ago, and this time they met in Mongolia because of a joint expedition, and they didn't meet the excitement of their old friends at first.

I really have no friendship and no impression, but when I was chatting, I accidentally found out that the two were studying in the same school and a major, and in the weeks they had been together before, the two had no intersection at all.

Lin Ming, who was driving, knew the location of the destination, and he would arrive in a while, which was faster than the speed of Nong Bosheng and the others: not only because of the proximity, Nong Bosheng and the others also needed someone to drive the car, and the speed was not fast.

If you walk, the straight-line distance of these two kilometers will take at least half an hour, and the actual distance will have to be increased by 50%.

Get off the bus and see clearly: the same as the M1 tomb, it is the same A-shaped tomb, temporarily numbered M16.

On one side of the main tomb, there are 6 rectangular small burial tombs in an arc shape, which is a little smaller in size, and the shape belongs to the first class of the cemetery, that is, Zhang Nan once joked that this tomb was named an assault rifle, which sounded slightly awkward.

Zhang Nan listened awkwardly, and Russian experts also had a similar feeling, they are generally used to using the Russian alphabet for numbering, but Zhang Hongfu and others, who were the first to number this cemetery, will not change it since it is set, anyway, this numbering method is internationally applicable.

The volume of the M16 tomb is several times thinner than the M1 tomb, the length and width of the main tomb outer frame is about 16 by 14 meters, and the ground penetrating radar shows that its depth is less than 5 meters, which is the volume of a relatively large aristocratic rectangular pit tomb here.

But it has a tomb, so it was still speculated before, and it was temporarily classified as a single tomb, perhaps because of the national strength, which caused the scale to shrink more sharply.

According to the preliminary judgment, there are 17 large A-shaped tombs, the volume of M16 is the smallest, and most of the others are basically at the level of 30 meters to 35 meters, although they do not have the metamorphosis volume of nearly 50 meters square like the M1 tomb.

Because it was judged that the M16 tomb had not been stolen according to the surface stones, it was targeted by Mihainovich.

This wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a few of his students to completely excavate a Xiongnu Shan Yu tomb, although at first he had to do it brutally and destroy it with bulldozers and excavators.

If you do it, you can do it, the opportunity is rare, and there are people who can't afford to make a lot of money, which can be regarded as academic research and economic benefits.

As for those who can't be provoked and whose identities are not easy to say, plus a rich Chinese-American man, what are those Chinese counterparts going to do?

Mikhainovich does not want to know, and is not interested in knowing: he is an expert in archaeology, but specialists and students also have to eat!

Really, I can't open the pot at home, and those students can't hold on anymore: they came to Mongolia just for the allowance, and those students specially brought them to eat mixed rice!

There is no food in school, and when you come abroad, at least people will take care of food and housing.

Some of my former friends and colleagues will sell money for food, drive taxis, go to flea markets to do small business, and even retire old professors from the same unit to ask for food on the street!

There is only one disease of man, and that is the disease of poverty!

You are not poor yourself, but the country is gone, and the depreciation of money has become waste paper, and then you know how important it is to have money.

In order to eat, in order to allow the family to eat, in addition to neurosis, normal people have to bow their heads in front of money!

Want to stay principled?

Let's not talk about the warnings of those dangerous people, then we have to live a good life, otherwise it's all nonsense.

The thick dollar has been divided into a very thick dozen, and several graduate students who came with him also have good hush labor fees.

At this time, who could still maintain the principle of etherealism, did not see that the army was transferred to work for money, and the Mongolian government officials regarded it as invisible, and only did what they should do, and let the rest go.

Excavators are excavators, and they don't dig casually on the territory of their own country!

Mikhainovich doesn't care anymore, he doesn't even have the country he has served for most of his life, what else is there to care about.

Two excavators, one large and one small, "rumbled and dug until noon yesterday, and then a large number of Russian GIs continued to dig down manually with the general operation of excavation fortifications."

Mihainovich and his students also took the lead, not only instructing, but also putting a lot of effort into themselves, and the speed of the excavation was very fast.

Work stopped at 7 o'clock last night, and work began again at 7 o'clock this morning, and more than an hour ago I found some burial goods such as bronzes and gold harness accessories.

However, the burial bronzes found near the tomb passage are all daily utensils such as copper pots and wine pots with basically no decorative technology, and there is no inscription on them.

The Xiongnu aristocracy liked to use ancient Chinese metal utensils, but these have no words, and the style and craftsmanship seem to be the craftsmanship of the Xiongnu, which basically determines that it is impossible to figure out who the tomb owner is.

It is a pity that the tombs of the Huns are all of this virtue, and Mihainovich, an archaeological expert, can only shout a pity for this.

The presence of gold burial goods shows that the identity of the tomb owner is absolutely not low, and the appearance of gold harness shows that it is very likely that the tomb owner is Shan Yu: gold artifacts can be used by the general nobles of the Huns, but the gold saddle does not seem to work.

However, most of these harness accessories are small pieces of light plates, only the saddle accessories are decorated with eagle patterns, and the craftsmanship is not as high as the silver-gilt harness ornaments in the first excavated burial tomb in the M1 tomb.

The identity level of the owner of this tomb is not as good as that of the one in the burial tomb?

Mikhainovich thinks absolutely not, the most likely reason is that the owner of the burial tomb lived in a peaceful era, and the owner of the M16 tomb probably patronized the war, and the craftsmen who worked for him were not as skilled as the M1 tomb.

The handicraft skills in the Central Plains of China can be lost in a short period of time, not to mention the Huns on the grassland, and a big war may cause them to lose all their craftsmen.

Continuing to clean up with confusion and anticipation, one of his students removed a fallen stone, only to find the remains of a human skull under the stone, and a flattened ornament on the skull: silver, much like a crown, but the two parts were separated.

Mihainovich's mind turned, so he looked for his old alumni to take a look.

Zhang Nan looked at the excitement, he didn't recognize what that thing was, he felt like a crown or something.

After Nong Bosheng and the others arrived, after the director of Nong Bosheng and the others saw the appearance of the thing on the broken skull, he immediately said in Russian: "Mikhainovich, this is a major discovery!"

If I'm not mistaken, this would be the second Xiongnu aristocratic eagle-shaped crown ever discovered, and the first silver one has ever been found. ”

His old alumnus smiled and said, "Nong, I feel familiar, I remember seeing a similar figure in an archaeological magazine from East Germany more than ten years ago, so I called you over."

However, the introduction of that magazine is very simple, it said that it was unearthed from a large Xiongnu aristocratic tomb in China, gold, and nothing else.

As you know, we haven't had much communication on this side in the past few years..."

What Mihainovich said was that he didn't understand the meaning of this Hun crown, and listening to the lively Zhang Nan had Eliza's simultaneous translation, he understood this, but he didn't know the meaning of this eagle-shaped crown.

Nong Bosheng was simple, explaining: "Judging and guessing according to historical data, it is difficult to say who uses an eagle-shaped gold crown and a silver crown for the successor. ”
