When the eighth door was opened, the front of them was open, the silver light was shining, everyone held their breath, except for Hong Tianbao, everyone was stunned by the scene in front.

I saw that in front of me was the burial chamber of the mausoleum, the size of two standard international football fields, and a thick layer of mercury was laid underneath. There are countless funerary goods, and no one can say how many there are for the time being, including a sarcophagus floating quietly on it. The thousands of square meters of stone walls on the opposite side are plated with a layer of gold, and the fonts are densely carved on them.

"It's really mercury for rivers, lakes and seas! How much mercury is used in this? And who collected so much? Whose mausoleum is it? Could it be the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang? A young excavation intern asked several questions in a row.

An old man next to him, who should be the person's mentor, immediately corrected: "What is the boy learning?" The mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has long been found. It's just that the inside hasn't been fully excavated, so there's no way to know what's inside. And compared with the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, this mausoleum is much worse, and the scale alone is several times smaller. ”

"Huh! Ancient classics often record that the emperor's mausoleum used mercury as the rivers, lakes and seas, and the night pearl as the stars, so that the emperor could control the heavens and the earth after his death. However, we have not found it, although it has also been found in the outer palace of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and it is speculated that mercury is used as rivers, lakes and seas, and pearls as stars, but it has not been confirmed. Unexpectedly, this mausoleum set this precedent. Professor Fang said.

As we all know, mercury is very dense, even if copper and iron are thrown into mercury, it can float. And the surface here is all mercury, and everything just floats on it.

In addition to injecting mercury into the mausoleum, in addition to preventing insects and theft, the Northern Wei Dynasty scholar Li Daoyuan's explanation is that "the mercury as the rivers and seas lies in the mercury for the four desecrations, the hundred rivers, the five mountains and Kyushu, with a geographical trend." Originally, mercury was used to symbolize the geography of mountains and rivers, which corresponded to "Shanggu astronomy".

The mentor just now is indeed right, there is indeed no comparison between this place and the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, he began to build his mausoleum in Lishan. After the unification of China, he requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country to participate in the mausoleum construction project. During the second reign of Qin, it continued to be built. It took nearly 40 years before and after, and until the fall of Qin, the cemetery was not fully completed. The enormity of the project is rare in history.

According to historical records. There are various palaces in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, displaying all kinds of rare treasures, using mermaid paste as lamps and candles, mercury as rivers and seas, and many bows and crossbows are also installed to shoot people who enter the tomb. When Qin II buried Qin Shi Huang, he ordered all the palace maids who had no children in the palace of Shi Huang to be buried. In order to prevent leaks, the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the tomb were buried alive in the tomb.

After the fall of Qin. Xiang Yu entered the customs and mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers to excavate the mausoleum, but the burial goods were looted, and the treasures were not transported for a month. The above-ground buildings of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang were also destroyed by fire.

Legend has it that a shepherd later searched for sheep and entered the tomb, because of the fire and lighting, which caused a fire in the underground palace, and the burning was not extinguished for three months. The end of the Tang Dynasty. The Huangchao peasant rebel army entered Chang'an and also excavated the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

In the fifth dynasty, the warlord Wen Tao once again excavated the tomb of Qin Shi Huang on a large scale in the name of raising military salaries. After more than 2,000 years of wind and rain erosion and man-made destruction, the buildings on the ground of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum have disappeared. Only a huge mound remains.

Therefore, when we talk about the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang now, we basically refer to the underground underground palace. And the underground palace is the core, except for the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Emperor, the rest of the parts can not be really excavated.

"Strange! It's obviously an eight-fold gate, but how can it be said to be a nine-fold gate? "Elder Yan is still struggling with the problem just now. ...,"The last sentence doesn't seem to have been understood. Li Lao also said.

"Maybe it's a hypocrisy, right? The real mausoleum has been opened, how can there be any ninth door? Xu Lao said.

Kong Lao frowned, according to the weirdness of a mausoleum, it is indeed difficult to ensure that the other party deliberately made a nine-fold door to come out to make a mystery. But now that the main burial chamber has appeared, it is not time to dwell on that matter.

"How do you go down?" Someone asked.

"Be careful, everyone. Just don't touch the mercury inside. Mercury can be absorbed by the skin and can be poisoned. Professor Fang said that he was going to let people bring in a few small boats.

The camera zooms in on the distance, and you can see the entire mausoleum clearly. When Kong Lao saw the ode on the stone wall, he immediately judged that this was the mausoleum of Emperor Shun of Han.

"Hasn't the tomb of Emperor Han Shun been excavated?" An archaeologist asked, puzzled.

Hong Tianbao smiled: "That emperor in ancient times didn't have a few mausoleums? The most famous is Cao Cao. He deliberately mentioned Cao Cao just to attract everyone's attention. Who knew that everyone just nodded, and then there was no follow-up, and I don't know if they noticed the words in Hong Tianbao's words.

But Yan Lao was also very confused: "It doesn't make sense!" Emperor Han Shun didn't have any full strength at that time, the emperor was very cowardly, how could there be such a big mausoleum, and who would build a tomb for him? ”

Anyone who has studied history knows that Emperor An of Han died? p>

螅只屎絪拮 cherry blossom Lang is indeed a narrow tax barge mu thunder chrysalis and stumbling on the sugar # slow axillary catfish cone w for the emperor, want to listen to the government by himself, and grasp the power of the government.

Liu Yu died after seven months as emperor, and the eunuchs Cao Teng, Sun Cheng and other nineteen people launched a palace coup d'état, drove out the Empress Dowager Yan, and established Liu Bao, who was then eleven years old, as the emperor, and changed the yuan to "Yongjian", and the nineteen eunuchs who supported Liu Bao were all made marquis.

Since Emperor Shun of Han obtained the throne by eunuchs, he handed over power to eunuchs. Emperor Shun himself was gentle but weak. Later, the eunuch and his cousin Liang began the Liang dictatorship for more than 20 years. Eunuchs and relatives colluded with each other to exercise power and arbitrariness, the politics of the Han Dynasty became even more acute, the class contradictions became more and more acute, and the people complained about it.

It can be said that the decline of the Han Dynasty began in his generation.

"Hmmm! This matter is indeed a bit strange. But for now, it's a question of what to do with the tomb. Kong Lao said.

Professor Fang had already paid attention to it and suggested, "Let's do things according to the usual practice!" Inform the Ministry of Culture to build a small museum outside and run here. After all, it is also a precedent for our archaeological community, and how many mercury injection tombs have been discovered for the first time. ”

"In that case, try not to mess with the contents of it!" Kong Lao said. Huaguo is so big and has such a long history, and there is no shortage of treasures inside, and it is also beneficial to keep them inside. (To be continued.)
