"He was a hero in life, and he was a golden iron horse after death, and Genghis Khan did not insult his great reputation......"

Looking at the tomb, which was not very large, but gave people a sense of grandeur, Professor Meng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the entire tomb is not paved with gold, the oncoming atmosphere makes people really feel the pride of this great emperor.

Genghis Khan went on a southern expedition to the north during his lifetime, never met an opponent in his life, showed his martial arts in the four seas, and hung the longbow on the wall after his death, a different kind of grassland pride, rising in the hearts of everyone.

"Isfahan carpet, oh my God, how did such a big one be woven, and how did it survive?"

Dr. Ren's voice suddenly sounded in the tomb, interrupting everyone's remembrance, and also drew the attention of Zhuang Rui and the others to the carpet under the coffin in the middle of the tomb.

This carpet not only carries all the area of the huge coffin, but also extends far outward, covering an area of fifteen or sixteen square meters.

This kind of carpet is a combination of wool, cotton, silk, gold and silver threads, and is composed of vertical, horizontal and diagonal diagonal lines, which are repeated to form a central pattern, which looks extraordinarily magnificent.

Although Zhuang Rui majored in archaeology, his industry was all related to antiques, and he was no stranger to this kind of Persian carpet that had entered China since the Sui and Tang dynasties. At that moment, he asked, "Brother Ren, this is the origin of the Persian carpet, the Isfahan carpet?"

"Yes, it must be, this ...... How did this survive?"

During his Ph.D., Dr. Ren's main research was on the formation of the Silk Road, which had a profound impact on the Tang Dynasty and other countries around the world, as one of the most famous commodities on the Silk Road...... Persian carpet, Ren Chunqiang also had a fairly in-depth study.

Located on the Iranian plateau at an altitude of 1,600 meters, Isfahan is an ancient city with a long history of culture.

The world's finest carpets are from Isfahan and are used in the Persian royal palaces, European royalty, the Holy See and the aristocracy, or on the floor or hung on the walls like precious paintings.

Persian carpets owe much of their fame today to Isfahan, which is made from the world's finest Kolk wool woven into the warp and weft threads of silk and is still considered the finest Persian carpet in the world.

Generally, the preservation period of carpets is only two or three hundred years at most, and today, such as the Isfahan carpets of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are extremely rare.

At an auction in Britain last year, an Isfahan carpet measuring only 60 x 80 centimeters in length and width fetched $6 million.

It is conceivable that if a whole carpet as large as the tomb is displayed, what kind of shock will it bring to the international collecting community?

"Okay, Xiao Ren is responsible for handling this carpet, and the others will embalm these weapons first, and put the coffin at the end ......"

Professor Meng was a little unimpressed by Dr. Ren's gaffe, none of the items in this tomb would be worth less than this carpet, and the reason why he didn't support Ren Chunqiang like Zhuang Rui was because his disciple was not broad-minded enough.

After listening to Professor Meng's instructions, everyone got busy, these gold and silver in the tomb, especially the iron tools, after being sealed for thousands of years, have a high probability of oxidation, and now they look extremely sharp, and they may become rusty as soon as they take out of the tomb.

Zhuang Rui walked to the weapon rack, stretched out his hand and took a saber with a rotten scabbard in his hand, as early as when he observed this tomb with aura, Zhuang Rui noticed that the aura contained in this saber was extremely strong.

This is a typical early Mongolian saber, the blade is thinner than the modern military saber, only about two fingers wide, the weight is also lighter, the lines are very smooth, the handle is slightly curved in the direction of the blade, so that the curved handle is more conducive to the rider's control, not easy to get rid of.

"Xiaozhuang, come, try the knife ......"

Professor Meng couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhuang Rui playing with the saber in love, took out a stack of kraft paper used to wrap cultural relics, and put it on the ground in front of Zhuang Rui.

"Well, look at the weapon used by Genghis Khan, compared to my fixed light sword......"

Zhuang Rui agreed, and carefully held the handle of the saber with his gloved right hand, although the wooden handle of the saber originally inlaid with various gems had decayed, but there was also a handle bound in iron bars.

"Ho!"

Zhuang Rui let out a muffled cry from his mouth, raised the knife above his head with his right hand, and slashed at the kraft paper stacked high on the ground.

"Bell ......"

The sharp blade flashed an arc in the light, silently cutting into the kraft paper, and then slashing to the ground due to inertia, making a crisp sound.

"Holy, so fast?"

Zhuang Rui didn't expect this saber to be so fast, and quickly pulled the knife out of the pile of paper, and was relieved to see that the blade was not broken, if the cultural relics were damaged due to this experiment, it would be an extremely serious archaeological accident.

"Divine weapons, real divine weapons!"

The people in the tomb had not yet recovered from this scene, and in the headquarters hundreds of meters above the heads of Zhuang Rui and the others, an old man shouted with his hands dancing and shouting, looking extremely excited.

You must know that the smelting technology of steel in ancient times is much more backward than that of modern times, but I don't know why, many weapons handed down from ancient times are extremely sharp and immortal, and what substances are mixed in them cannot be known even with modern technology.

However, there are very few such divine weapons unearthed, just like Zhuang Rui's fixed light sword, even if there is, it can only do some optical tests, and it is impossible to hand it over to these experts for long-term research, so there has always been a lack of relevant research items.

This old man is an expert in the study of ancient cold weapons, and now that he saw that the weapons of thousands of years ago could still be so sharp, he suddenly became excited, and he couldn't wait to put his hand into the screen and grab the saber out.

Professor Meng heard the shouts of the command in the headset, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Lao Li, don't be impatient, there are so many weapons, some of them are ...... you have studied."

Not to mention anything else, just judging from the carpets and weapons in this tomb, all the items placed here are the highest peak of craftsmanship in the world that Genghis Khan's time could have achieved.

Every item here is probably a rare and precious one-of-a-kind item in the world, and the so-called one-of-a-kind item means that there is no one identical object in this world.

After witnessing the sharpness of the thousand-year-old saber, the staff in the tomb were also very excited, but when they were maintaining and sorting out these cultural relics, they were getting more and more gentle, because if they were not careful, they might be damaged by millions of objects.

After more than five hours of busyness, the cultural relics placed outside the tomb have been embalmed, and even the carpet that exposes the coffin has been carefully maintained by Dr. Ren lying on the ground.

Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Professor Meng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's rest first, these items will be kept in the tomb for the time being, and after the coffin is opened, they will be transported out......"

Zhuang Rui walked up to Professor Meng, who was standing in front of the huge coffin, and asked, "Teacher, are you ready to open the coffin......?"

This coffin plus the foundation, up to two meters and one two, standing on the ground, it is impossible to open it at all, and it is necessary to set up a ladder to exert force from several directions at the same time to open the coffin lid.

However, there must be a premise for this, that is, it is necessary to find the joint of the coffin mortise and tenon joint, and Professor Meng has been observing in front of the coffin just now, which is to judge the position of the coffin.

"Well, it should be about ......"

Professor Meng nodded, pointed to the head and tail of the coffin and said: "There are eight mortise and tenon wooden nails, but there is no gap in this joint at all, and the crowbar can't be inserted into it at all, I'm afraid that this coffin will be damaged, alas, it's a pity that this fine golden silk nanmu is ......."

Looking at this coffin that was as solid as iron and stone, with a beautiful shape, and a trace of golden light under the light, Professor Meng couldn't help shaking his head, just this coffin board, which was a precious cultural relic worth tens of millions.

You must know that the golden silk nan wood is resistant to corrosion and insects, it is not cool to touch in winter, the texture is warm and soft, the texture is delicate and accessible, it has always been a royal item, such as the golden silk nan Buddha shrine in the Lama Temple in Beijing, which is one of the three treasures of the palace.

It is the famous old man Qianlong, who also left a bad reputation on the golden silk nanmu, when Qianlong took a fancy to the golden silk nanmu of the Ming Tomb, so he repaired the Ming Tomb as a cover, and removed the best materials to build the Shouling Tomb for himself.

There is indeed a record in the historical materials that Qianlong repaired the Ming Tomb, and transported back a large number of Ming Tomb materials including golden silk nanmu, Zhuang Rui visited the Qing Dynasty emperor's cemetery, he had seen with his own eyes, in the Qing Dynasty building materials contain a large number of Ming Dynasty golden silk nanmu.

Because the golden silk nanmu was on the verge of extinction at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no new wood on the market now, and even if there is, they are all old objects that can be called antiques, so the value on the market now is not much better than the small leaf sandalwood furniture.

"Teacher, this tomb has been open for a long time, I think, it's better to open the coffin, right?"

If it were placed in ordinary times, Zhuang Rui might also feel sorry for these golden silk nanmu, but think about the crystal coffin in the coffin and the heirloom jade seal that carries China's imperial culture for several years, even if the coffin with exquisite materials is completely dismantled, Zhuang Rui will not feel distressed.

"Okay, ready to open the coffin......"

Professor Meng is also a decisive person, relatively speaking, the protection work of this archaeological excavation has been done to the extreme, and a little loss can be bearable.
