Chapter 1120: The Poignant Imperial Princess's Story!
Liu Ruihua had been listening to the archaeological team discussing the oxidation of cultural relics just now, and he felt that in this case, those cultural relics that were easy to erode might have been finished long ago!
Professor Gu nodded and said, "There are definitely a lot of good things in it, and we still don't know if there are any cultural relics that are afraid of oxidation." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But we still have to be well prepared. To be honest, I'm still quite worried, because there have been many cases of damage to cultural relics before this. ”
Liu Ruihua was curious: "Could it be that the oxidation of cultural relics is really so powerful? Before this, I had only read some materials, but I had not seen them with my own eyes." "For ordinary people, there is no opportunity to see the process of oxidation and damage of cultural relics.
Professor Gu said bitterly: "The current science has not found a level that can completely ensure that the cultural relics will not be damaged. I remember one time we were digging up the tomb of a Ming Dynasty vassal king, and then we saw the one inside. It was snowing that day, and we saw a stone offering table inside, and in addition to the five offerings on the stone offering table, there were two boxes, a stone box, and a wooden box inlaid with gold.
The stone box is fine, but the wood box has a problem, this wooden box looked very good at the time, but because it was not cleaned and protected in time, and the air has been cleared, when we officially cleaned it, we found that the box has begun to deform! Once the lacquered wood is deformed, it can never be recovered, and the box has been deformed and can no longer be repaired. I was really saddened. ”
Professor Gu shook his head and continued, "It's not just the wooden box that has been deformed, but other things are also changing. There is a layer of silk on the box, embroidered with a dragon, embroidered with a dragon, but this silk cannot be protected because it is taken from it. The silk was not very well preserved, and when we dealt with it, we found that the whole dragon on the box was deformed, and the silk had deteriorated, and such a precious work of art was basically damaged. So this matter has always been a shadow in my heart, but according to the current science, there is still no way to avoid oxidation and damage to cultural relics. We can only do our best!"
At this time, the big guy had already entered the bottom, and Professor Gu pointed to the silt in front of him and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that there are probably more treasures in this tomb in front of you than many archaeologists have touched in a lifetime! Who knows how thick this layer of mud is? Who knows how many treasures are buried in it?"
After Professor Gu finished speaking, everyone was ready to carry out the official excavation work. For such an important excavation, Professor Gu's pressure can be imagined, will Professor Gu repeat the mistake of encountering some cultural relics that are difficult to protect? At this time, no one knows, even himself, is not completely sure.
But one thing is certain: if he fails this time, it will be the greatest shame in Professor Gu's lifelong archaeological career! Because this excavation is the lifelong dream of many archaeologists, and it is also very likely that it will be the last big tomb they will experience before they retire! You must know that Professor Gu is over 60 years old this year. Of course, Professor Gu is fully mentally prepared, no matter how difficult it is, the core of this treasure hunt, that is, the search for treasure, must begin.
Finally, Professor Gu took a deep breath and said that the excavation work had officially begun. However, when the archaeological team was preparing to clean up the back room of the underground palace, that is, the place where the body of the tomb owner was placed and where all the treasures were kept, Professor Gu suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon - the middle of the tomb should be a coffin bed, but this ancient tomb is not, one is in the middle and the other is on the west wall. Why is that? If it's a double burial, then the whole coffin bed, no matter how many people are placed, will be in the middle, and not one of them leaning against the wall. This is clearly out of the ordinary.
"How so?" the other members of the archaeological team apparently found the problem as well. Even Liu Ruihua thought this was a bit incredible. In ancient times, such royal tombs should have had many rules. How could it be that there was another person buried next to the owner against the wall?
At first, Professor Gu wondered if his eyes were spent? How could such a royal tomb have two coffin beds that were not in harmony with each other? Could it be that this was a special form of joint burial tomb? But after thinking about it, Professor Gu couldn't think of such a bizarre and strange way of joint burial in our country.
"Professor Gu, is this a joint burial?" Liu Ruihua still asked curiously.
Professor Gu was not sure: "It doesn't seem to be." It could also be. But it seems that this ancient tomb was not a burial chamber when it was designed, and the structure is different. This is the typical structure of a solitary tomb. But how could there be two coffin beds in the ancient tomb? You see, the stone coffin bed is the owner of the tomb, because this coffin is placed in the middle, and the position in the middle is limited, there is no way to place one more coffin bed. This at least shows that it was not a joint burial tomb when it was originally designed. ”
Liu Ruihua nodded and said, "Yes." It doesn't look like it either. But why are there two coffins? Is this poor coffin leaning against the wall to accompany the burial?"
Professor Gu shook his head and said, "No." I now think that this coffin bed against the wall must have been added later. At this time, Professor Gu suddenly remembered the golden hairpin that Liu Ruihua picked up when he just stepped into the underground palace. Could there be a woman buried in there? Could this coffin bed leaning against the wall be a concubine or something?
Liu Ruihua took a flashlight and looked around, and suddenly said: "What is that? Stone tablet? There will be a stone tablet inside the tomb? There should be words on it, right?"
Professor Gu looked at it and said excitedly: "Yes! I must have seen it here! It seems that this stone tablet is very important to unravel some of the mysteries of this ancient tomb." Hurry up and rinse it with water......"
Next, the big guy washed out the stele with all his hands and feet, the light of the CCTV camera was brighter, and the lens of the TV camera was also aimed at the stele for shooting. The fonts on it are all traditional characters, and many people can't read them. Of course, for these words can not get the archaeologist Professor Gu.
Professor Gu gently explained the record on the stone tablet to everyone, and it turned out to contain a moving story: the emperor of a dynasty died, and the imperial concubine was to be buried alive or dead. But the new emperor disagreed, and comforted his sister-in-law to live well. The new emperor is the younger brother of the old emperor, and he has always been very cautious about this sister-in-law.
But the imperial concubine was bent on death, so a poignant story of the imperial princess was staged!
