Professor Gu continued: "According to the traditional concept of Chinese respect and order, the middle person is in the main position and the honorable position. However, in the process of cleaning the No. 2 tomb, in addition to the bones of the tomb owner, we only found a small amount of broken jade. This afternoon, we want to clean up all the sediment from the tomb, hoping to find an epitaph, or at least something that reflects the identity of the tomb's owner. ”

"Has the identity of the owner of Tomb No. 1 been confirmed?"

"Not yet. We estimate that the true identity of the tomb owner was deliberately hidden. ”

"Why do you want to hide it?"

"We have cleaned the soil in the No. 1 tomb, but we have not found the epitaph, and the strangest thing is that the head of the tomb owner was separated when he was buried. Tomb No. 1 has not been patronized by tomb thieves, not only has the boxwood inscription of Tomb No. 1 not been moved, but the sealing layer above the tomb has not been moved. So, since the door of the tomb was sealed, no one has touched the remains of the tomb owner. The owner of Tomb No. 1 may have an untold story. ”

"Has Tomb No. 3 ever been visited by tomb robbers?"

"No, we have carefully inspected the sealing layer of Tomb No. 3 and found no holes. Obviously, Chamber 3, like Chamber 1, is intact. ”

"Professor Gu, since the tomb robbers were able to discover the No. 2 tomb, how could they ignore the No. 1 and No. 3 tombs that are close to Chi Chi Chi?" Liu Dayu looked puzzled.

"After more than 2,000 years, the sealing layer on the tomb has undergone great changes, when we first came here, one-third of the ancient tomb group - that is, most of the sealing soil layer of Tomb No. 1 and Tomb No. 3 is rice fields - the local villagers said: rice was once planted here, and then it was deserted, if there is no greenhouse to cover it, you can see that the whole ancient tomb group is located on a gentle slope, here was originally a mountain forest, according to the local people, in the sixties and seventies, terraces were dug here. The reason why the tomb robbers were able to find Tomb 2 may be related to the shape of the sealing layer on top of Tomb 2. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll show you a few pictures, and you'll understand what's going on." Professor Koo said as he stood up and pulled out a file bag from a black leather bag hanging from a wooden post.

Professor Gu poured out a stack of photos from the file bag, and then handed them to Ouyang Ping and Liu Dayu one by one.

Ouyang Ping and Liu Dayu took the photos and looked at them one by one.

There are several photographs of panoramas of the tomb complex.

"The raised part is the location of the No. 2 tomb, although the area is relatively large, and the sealing layer on the tomb has changed a lot, but the shadow of the tomb can still be seen, ordinary people may not be able to see it, but it is different in the eyes of tomb robbers. The enclosures on chambers 1 and 3 had been completely flattened, so the robbers did not see it. Professor Koo pointed to the photo.

There are several photographs of robbers in the soil seal of Tomb No. 2.

"The tomb robbers dug a total of three robbery holes on the soil layer of Tomb No. 2, and two of them were only dug to a depth of more than one meter and then gave up."

"Did the grave robbers go down from this hole?" Ouyang Ping asked Professor Gu with a photo.

"Yes, the grave robbers chose this location to dig the robbery hole, and this location is the most ideal. At the back of the photograph is the depth of the cave and the size of the hole. ”
