Chapter 80 "Oh, this skull is very strong!"

"1.657 meters in length!"

"Weight 52.5 kg!"

"Not a single hair on the body!"

"The skin is basically intact!"

"The middle of the forehead and the knee area of the two lower limbs, slightly missing!"

"The mouth is open, the thirty-two teeth are intact and strong, and the tongue is rolled up!"

"Report! There's a foreign body under the tongue! ”

Kong Jianwen, who was originally listening to the medical experts' physical examination of the ancient corpse, rushed to the expert who reported and snatched the foreign object he took out of the ancient corpse's mouth.

After careful identification, it can be determined that this is a piece of jade.

This made Kong Jianwen immediately think of Yuyu.

As we all know, people in the Han Dynasty usually "jade nine tricks" after death.

To put it simply, it is to stuff the nine orifices on the body into the jade burial utensils and block them.

The implication is not to let the soul out of the body, so that the body can be preserved from decay.

This jade nine plug includes a pair of jade eye covers, a pair of jade ear plugs, a pair of jade nose plugs, a white jade cicada, a jade anal plug and a jade yin plug.

Before, when they briefly looked at the ancient corpse, everyone in the archaeological team did not see the jade eye cover and the jade nose plug on the face of the ancient corpse.

Kong Jianwen also thought that this male corpse had not created a jade nine aperture plug for himself.

Unexpectedly, the male corpse's mouth contained a piece of jade.

"What's going on, is it a jade cicada?" Professor Li and Chen Han also hurriedly approached curiously.

The ancients paid great attention to the jade cicada, and they admired it in life and thought it was contained in death.

The specific analysis is mainly because the ancients did not know the specific biological characteristics of cicadas.

It's just that the cicadas can burrow into the soil from the tree when the autumn is cool, and then come out of the soil and climb up the tree when the spring is warm next year.

It's like a creature that can go over and over again, endlessly, and constantly reborn.,It's very envious.。

Since the Han Dynasty, the feathering of the cicada has been used as a metaphor for human rebirth, including the feathering of the Tao advocated by Taoism, which is also born from the "cicada".

Therefore, the ancients put the jade cicada in the mouth of the deceased and called it "containing the cicada", which means that they hope that the owner of the tomb can be like the cicada, immortal, and metamorphose and regenerate.

It is hoped that the deceased can be like a cicada, born out of the turbid dirt (soil) and become immortals.

It's a beautiful allegorical implication.

It's just that something happened that made Kong Jianwen a little surprised, and after careful inspection, it can be seen that the jade that was held in the mouth of the tomb owner is not in the shape of a cicada, but boxy, a bit like a Han seal.

"It's... It's not a jade cicada, it's a block seal! ”

Kong Jianwen hurriedly held this piece of jade and took it to the water's edge to rinse it briefly.

Jade is the most durable thing to preserve, after all, jade is a kind of ore, the structure is very stable, and it will not be broken for thousands of years.

So it's completely bold to clean up.

In addition, this jade seal is held in the mouth, and it is relatively clean.

"White, no luster at all, not the best jade." While it was clear, Kong Jianwen was still shaking his head, but it was a pity.

The material of this piece of jade is really ordinary, and the appearance looks more like a white brick than a crystal clear jade.

But for archaeologists, it doesn't matter whether the artifacts themselves are valuable or not, what matters is the artifacts themselves.

Like a lump of mud, bamboo slips may not be valuable at all to most people, but they are rare treasures for archaeologists.

This jade seal is the same, although the material itself is not precious at all, but the words engraved on it are very important!

"Lao Li, Xiao Chen, you two take a look, what is the word engraved on this?"

After cleaning the jade seal, Kong Jianwen couldn't wait to take it to Chen Han and Professor Li.

Kong Jianwen was engaged in Neolithic archaeological research, and was not proficient in Jin Wen and seal script.

Chen Han actually studied for a doctorate in Neolithic archaeology, and it was only because of the system that his seal script level improved by leaps and bounds.

The two took the jade seal handed by Kong Jianwen and studied it closely.

This jade seal is not large, and the length and width are just over a centimeter, otherwise it would not be able to be stuffed under the tongue.

On closer inspection, the text engraved on this seal is still very clear and legible.

The two said in unison: "So! ”

"This should be a sui word!"

"This should be the name of the owner of the tomb, the word that is blurred on the notice!"

"So, I see." Kong Jianwen nodded, looked at the ancient corpse that was being studied by medical experts over and over again, and said with some solemnity: "It turns out that this is Mr. Sui, the fifth doctor." ”

"It is foreseeable that it will not be long before Mr. Sui will be a sensation across the country like Mrs. Xin Chai."

According to the records of the book of confessions, the time when this gentleman entered the soil was the thirteenth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 169 BC.

This is only a year later than the death of Mrs. Xin Chai!

It's a coincidence that two nobles from the early Western Han Dynasty died only one year apart, but their bodies have not decayed for 2,100 years!

Once this news spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation throughout the country and even shock the world!

......

For Kong Jianwen and the others, the appearance of this jade seal is a very important and meaningful thing, which is enough for them to be excited for a long time.

But for the medical experts, it is clear that Mr. Sui's body is the most important thing.

After the jade seal was removed, the autopsy continued.

The two professors personally conducted a "full body physical examination" for Mr. Sui, who lived 2,100 years ago.

"The nasal passages are clear, the left eardrum is clearly visible, and there is even earwax left in both ears!"

"Wow, this is a 2,000-year-old earwax!"

"The muscles of the whole body are still elastic, the arms can be easily lifted, and the bones and joints of the whole body are well preserved, and there is no hardening or osteoporosis."

"There is no prolapse in the anus, and there are no hemorrhoids!"

"The palms are thin, the fingers are slender, and the soles of the feet are bare and flat, which is flat feet!"

Bursts of exclamations came from the dissecting table one after another.

In fact, none of the medical experts and professors have yet to start dissection.

Just a preliminary visual inspection of the ancient corpse was enough to surprise them.

A respected old professor in his forties seemed to have become a primary school student in front of this ancient corpse, and all kinds of shouting and exclamation did not stop.

Can't blame them for not being knowledgeable, two thousand and one hundred years of incorruptible ancient corpses are really too rare, and it can even be said that they are lucky to encounter such a case in this life.

After examining the ancient corpse in detail from beginning to end, and recording all the examination data, Professor Wu Tinggui, who was in charge of the dissection this time, took a deep breath and raised his hands.

"Let's start dissecting!"

"Start with the head!"

Professor Wu Tinggui's assistant immediately handed him the electric craniotomy saw.

When the switch was pressed, a vibrating noise resounded on the dissecting table.

Professor Wu Tinggui held the craniotomy saw very firmly with both hands, and then opened the scoop for Mr. Sui's smooth and hairless head.

At around three o'clock in the morning, a group of people gathered in the laboratory to open the skull of the ancient corpse, which was really scary.

Even Chen Han, who was bold, had a feeling of tooth soreness when he listened to the sound of the saw head rubbing against his skull, and his scalp was a little numb.

But Professor Wu Tinggui, who was operating the craniotomy saw, did not feel it at all.

Even while he opened his skull, he actually sighed with a little excitement: "Hey, this skull is very strong, it doesn't look like an ancient corpse more than 2,000 years ago!" ”

"The feel of sawing up is not much different from that of the one who just died!"

"This calcium content is really high!"
