The several burial chambers near the secret passage are animal burial chambers that are not much noticed, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that the craftsmen who built the mausoleum can easily open up an escape passage, right?

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, these craftsmen worked hard to dig such a hidden escape route, but they didn't think that they and others would not have the opportunity to enter it at all, and the day the mausoleum was completed, that is, when they died. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The research value of these animal burial chambers is not very large, but it is quite difficult to clean up, and due to the terrain constraints, it is necessary to transport them in batches, which also slows down the progress of the archaeological team's work.

And in the process of transportation, it is necessary to try to ensure the integrity of the bones, because this underground mausoleum is very likely to be built into an underground palace in the future and become a tourist attraction like the Ming Tombs.

As an integral part of the mausoleum, these bones of cattle and horses that have been turned into dry bones will be restored here in the future to bring people a real historical imprint.

With further archaeological excavations, it was found that in this underground mausoleum, the distance between the tombs and the burial chambers is close to each other, unlike some other large tombs, there is a long corridor between the two tombs, which brings a lot of convenience to the excavation work.

For two weeks, the archaeological work was stagnant in sorting out and excavating the burial chambers around the secret passages, a total of eight burial pits, and only one burial chamber filled with ceramics, which has relatively high research value.

The ceramic burial pit found by the archaeological team is actually the tomb full of Song Dynasty ceramics that Zhuang Rui paid attention to before, and the dazzling array of Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain made many archaeological experts almost think that this is a Song Dynasty emperor tomb.

Porcelain is fragile and cannot be treated like the bones of cattle and horses, and porcelain will fade due to changes in oxygen after seeing air in a sealed burial chamber, so it must be maintained in time at the first time.

Therefore, Zhuang Rui and others spent most of the two weeks in this tomb, and the unearthing of exquisite Song Dynasty porcelain also made people have higher expectations for this tomb.

……

"Zhuang Rui, why are you going to walk the horse again, the teachers are waiting for you, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you alone......"

Zhuang Rui rode to chase the wind, galloping from a distance, and Ren Chunqiang appeared on the side of the road, and Zhuang Rui, who was harmed, grabbed the reins of the horse, making the wind chaser stand up.

"Brother Ren, I work sixteen or seventeen hours a day, and I can relax now, you don't know ......"

As the deputy commander of the archaeological working group and the leader of the on-site archaeology, Zhuang Rui's responsibility is much greater than that of ordinary staff.

Often others work for eight hours, but he has to stay in it for 16 hours to succeed, and some of the decision-making rights on the spot have also been delegated to Zhuang Rui, which makes Zhuang Rui very miserable, and he has never been so concerned about taking care of his own business.

As Zhuang Rui said, in addition to four or five hours of sleep every day, that is, he rode to chase the wind to relax, and after two weeks, the soldiers on duty in a radius of dozens of kilometers were very familiar with this person and horse.

Zhuang Rui jumped off the horse, patted Chasing Wind's buttocks, and after sneezing at Chasing Wind, he walked to the wooden house where Zhuang Rui lived, leaned down and closed his eyes to rest.

Due to the special geographical conditions of this archaeological operation, it is very likely that it will be carried out for a long time, and if you include the planning of some architectural experts who have arrived recently, the project derived from this operation may last for three to five years.

So in just two weeks, two rows of cabins have been erected by the originally empty river for the experts to rest, after all, not everyone can live in the customary tent.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of this archaeological operation, Zhuang Rui naturally got a share of such a wooden house, to be honest, these are really wooden houses made of solid wood, and they are indeed much more comfortable to live in than a damp and narrow tent.

The meeting was still held in the tent, and after Zhuang Rui entered, the huge tent was already full of people, in addition to several directors and deputy commanders of the archaeological team, there were also several professors from the School of Architecture of Beijing University and two leaders of the National Tourism Administration.

When Zhuang Rui entered, Professor Wu from Beijing University was talking about something, and Professor Meng, who was sitting in the first place, hurriedly beckoned when he saw Zhuang Rui and said, "Xiao Zhuang, come, sit down first, and listen to Professor Wu's opinion on this mausoleum......

Zhuang Rui's work in the past two weeks, everyone is in the eyes, hard work and complaining, only Zhuang Rui made several decisions on the spot, so that the archaeological work to avoid major losses, its rich experience, compared with some old scientific experts.

It was when the burial chamber of the ceramic burial goods was opened, and it was impossible to open it due to the problem of the card slot under the stone door, and the thickness of the stone door reached 50 cm, so it took a lot of time to chisel it with tools.

So a staff member of the underground archaeological team at that time proposed a blast, shattered the stone door and opened it.

Since several burial chambers in succession were filled with animal burial goods, blasting was not not imfeasible if the next one was the same, and several experts on the ground agreed to this plan after discussion.

However, Zhuang Rui, who was underground at the time, expressed serious opposition and vetoed this plan with his identity as deputy commander-in-chief, and in the end he pried open the bluestone slab on the ground and opened the stone door card slot to push it open.

After opening this stone door, the room full of exquisite ceramics of the Song Dynasty in the amazement of everyone, but also have palpitations, if it is really blasted, I am afraid that the stone door was shattered, and the precious porcelain in this room can not be preserved a few pieces of intact.

As the saying goes, there is no one who has attained the master's teacher, and in the places where the top figures in the domestic scientific research community gather, the academic atmosphere is relatively pure, and Zhuang Rui's persistence has enabled the archaeological team to avoid a major accident, which is a real achievement.

So after this incident, those old experts looked at Zhuang Rui differently, and when they held work meetings, they all treated Zhuang Rui as a peer.

Originally, some staff members in the archaeological team who were older than Zhuang Rui, had older qualifications than Zhuang Rui, and had also made some achievements in the relevant archaeological departments in various places, also put away their old qualifications and recognized the identity of Zhuang Rui as the deputy commander from the bottom of their hearts.

Although the people in the tent are waiting for Zhuang Rui now, no one criticizes Zhuang Rui's tardiness, if it is replaced by another young man, I am afraid that he will be scolded by these old men long ago.

Professor Wu, who was giving a lecture, nodded to Zhuang Rui and continued: "The underground of this grassland is composed of Xilin Gol Complex, which is a large area of strong deformation metamorphic geological body in the Central Asian orogenic belt, and the sedimentary diagenetic age of this rock is later than that of the Late Ordovician, and the possibility of crustal change is extremely small.

Therefore, it is possible to imitate the underground palace of the Ming Tombs in Beijing, open a passage, and build a ......building group connected to the ground and the underground."

Zhuang Rui didn't understand most of Professor Wu's words, but he understood the last few sentences, and he dared to hold a meeting to discuss the tourism planning of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum.

Zhuang Rui couldn't help pouting, these people present didn't even know the identity of the owner of the tomb, so they thought about the future of tourism, typical bureaucracy.

"Professor Wu, the terrain here is relatively complex, not only the existence of rock layers, but also the dark river interspersed in it, is it too difficult to get through directly from above?"

A relevant leader of the tourism department put forward his own opinion, to make a 100-meter-long passage on the ground, which is a big project.

Of course, he will not say this directly, after all, from the current point of view, the political significance of this archaeological excavation is far greater than the excavation itself.

"These are not problems, it is much easier to build such a passage than the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, but the time span is longer, and in addition, according to the identity of the owner of this tomb, relevant plans must be formulated......

Professor Wu is a very pragmatic person, and his words are to the point, if this tomb belongs to Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan, then it will naturally need to be overhauled, and at least a building complex that is not inferior to the ground must be built on the ground.

However, if this tomb is only some imperial tombs in the late Yuan Dynasty, and the unearthed cultural relics are very ordinary, then there is no need to pay too much attention to it, or it is possible to reseal it.

The leader was deeply impressed by Professor Wu's words, turned his face to look at Professor Meng, and asked, "What Professor Wu said is, may I ask Mr. Meng, has the identity of the owner of this tomb been clarified?"

"Xiaozhuang, let's talk about it......"

Professor Meng did not answer the leader's words directly, but looked at Zhuang Rui, Professor Meng will resign from the teaching job of Beijing University next year, which can be regarded as a complete retirement.

Zhuang Rui understood the teacher's painstaking efforts, and he didn't shirk at the moment, coughed and cleared his throat, and said: "I'm afraid it will take some time to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb, but judging from the burial goods that have been unearthed in the tomb, the owner of this tomb is very likely to be the Great Khan of the Mongol Khanate, or the first three emperors after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty......"

Almost all of the objects unearthed in the ceramic tomb are some official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and there is no so-called Yuan blue and white and Yuan Dynasty style ceramics, which also indicates that the construction time of this tomb must be in the early Yuan Dynasty or earlier.
