Chapter 338 Seven Coffins

Sora took two steps to my side and whispered in my ear, "I'll be there for you to protect you, don't worry too much." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In fact, what people ask for is a kind of respect and understanding, as the saying goes: a soldier dies for a confidant, although Sola said that he would bear those unknown risks with us, but how could I let a girl charge ahead of us: "Thank you, Sora, after all, we know these mechanisms in the tomb best, and you should be safer behind us." ”

After walking a short distance, we saw another burial chamber, this burial chamber had a door, two stone doors were closed, and there was a moment on the stone door, a wolf on the right, and a flying woodpecker on the left, which was the most striking sign of ancient Rome.

In the early days of ancient Rome, the throne passed to the brothers, Numito and Amulliu. There are two inheritances: one for the kingdom and the other for countless treasures of gold and silver. Numito chose the kingdom, and Amulio took possession of the wealth. Amulio used his wealth to become more powerful than Numito and easily took the kingdom from his eldest brother. Numito's sons were killed, but only one daughter, Sylvia, survived because of the intercession of Amulio's daughter, Anto. Amulio sent Sylvia to be the Vestal Virgin Priestess so that she could not marry in order to avoid a battle for the throne of the offspring.

Legend has it that Maas, the god of war, fell in love with Sylvia and impregnated her with twins. Hated and frightened when he heard the news, Amulio imprisoned Sylvia, and when she had given birth, he ordered his servants to put the two babies in baskets and throw them into the Tiber River. But the Tiber washed the basket to the desolate bank, where it lay aground beside a fig tree, where a she-wolf approached to nurse them, and a woodpecker came to help feed and guard them.

These creatures were used to worship the god of war, and the Latins had a special reverence for the woodpecker, so when the mother of the twin declared that the baby's father was the god of war, people believed in her very much, so in many iconic things in ancient Rome, the totem of the she-wolf and the woodpecker appeared.

"There is a door in this burial chamber, and it must be something very precious inside." Truman said.

"It should be." I said that there are not many studies on the tombs of ancient Rome, so I don't know much about them, and according to custom, what is locked up must be the most precious thing.

Williams pushed the stone door hard, but the stone door didn't move, and said, "It's up from the inside." ”

"Truman, steel ruler." I say.

"It's been ready for a long time, give." Truman handed me a steel ruler.

This kind of ruler is to let Truman run several markets to find, the rigidity is very large, not easy to fold, at that time people asked for more than ten times more expensive than the ordinary ruler, the distressed Truman can't, said that such a thing is sold so expensive, can't get something out of the big loss.

But you have to use such a ruler to open the stone door.

I inserted the ruler through the crack in the door, and looked up and down for the mechanism of the top door.

Regardless of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the blocking method of the stone door of the tomb is roughly divided into two kinds, one is the stone pillar, and the other is the stone door bolt.

As the name suggests, the stone pillar is a stone pillar, before closing the stone door, the stone pillar is leaned against the door, when the coffin and burial items have been prevented, everyone exits the tomb, close the stone door, and then the stone pillar will slowly slide down a groove in the middle of the stone door, and the ground into a triangular posture, against the stone door, in this way, people who want to come in and destroy it are simply as difficult as the sky.

However, all things are born and have a gram, when you create this mechanism, someone has come up with a way to crack it, in ancient times, the foundry industry was very underdeveloped, and the rapid development of the modern steel industry has created this very thin steel ruler with great toughness, which solves the problem of the stone pillar top door.

After the stone door is closed, a gap of two millimeters will be created, and the steel ruler can be used to reach in, find the position of the stone pillar, and then remove it, so that the stone door can be easily opened.

But there are still some aristocratic people, who have long thought that future generations will use such technology to crack this, pouring molten iron in the gaps, so that the stone gate is seamless, and future generations will no longer have nowhere to start, but the pouring of molten iron is basically the imperial mausoleum, and the people have almost seen such a waste of money.

The stone door bolt is relatively simple to understand, that is, the bolt of the old-fashioned door, a raised groove will be made behind the stone door door, and a stone or iron door bolt is hung with a rope on another stone door, when the door is closed, the inertia tears off the rope, and the door bolt falls down and jams the stone door.

But both the roadless pillar and the stone bolt can be cracked with my steel ruler, so I asked Truman to prepare something like this early.

I inserted the steel ruler through the gap in the stone door, slid it up and down, and finally found the stone pillar at the top door, and dialed it to the side little by little, and it took about ten minutes to pull the stone pillar; Leaving the original position, pushing the stone door hard, the stone pillar inside rolled down to the side with a bang, and when we heard the sound, we worked together to push the stone door that had been closed for thousands of years, and the door was pushed open by us.

The flashlight shines into the tomb that has been closed for thousands of years, and a very fine layer of dust falls on the ground, which is more delicate than snow, as smooth as water, and people will never see such a scene in their lifetime, which is simply a kind of soft to the extreme beauty.

"How can there be seven coffins?" After opening the door, several voices asked.

Indeed, when the stone door was first opened, when the door was a sarcophagus, there were six sarcophagi, according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper.

"Why are there so many coffins?" Truman asked me.

"Probably one of them is the coffin of the owner of the burial chamber." I say.

"The rest are his concubines?" Williams asked.

"Who knows, you won't know until the coffin is opened." I say.

"Are these coffins stuffed with treasures?" Truman asked.

"The arrangement of these coffins is a bit weird, we have to be careful." Sora said.

It's no wonder that a layman like Sola can see that as soon as I enter the door, I have to arrange it in such a strange way, the arrangement of the Big Dipper, which tomb arranges the coffins in this way?

So who exactly is the coffin at the end of the spoon handle? In the ancient hierarchical social system, there would not have been such a strange arrangement.

There is no distinction between the dignity and inferiority of the position.

In the burial chamber, apart from the strange seven coffins, there were no other burial goods on the ground, not even an ordinary pottery bronze vessel.

This shouldn't be the main coffin, I thought.

The style of the coffin is very ordinary, the stone coffin will not rot if it is placed in the ground for thousands of years, but such a coffin is also too ordinary, because there is not too much carving, and the king is too hard and simple.
