In the east ear room, a group of people from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences are busy cleaning up the musical instruments and wine containers in the room, as well as some fragments of utensils crushed by the collapse of the roof stone in the early years.

In the other half of the West Ear Room, the researchers of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology were not idle.

Compared to the east ear chamber, the situation in the west ear chamber is not so good.

In the west ear room, there are layers of bronze, pottery, lacquer, wood and other burial objects, and there is almost no place to stand.

It is also because of this that the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology strongly asked them to lead the excavation and cleaning of the West Ear Chamber.

When he saw this situation, Fu Pu, the director of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology, was very excited.

It's good to be full of funeral goods, which shows that there are many cultural relics!

Guangzhou has never been unearthed before, and the tomb is so rich in cultural relics!

It's just that when the joy fades, they quickly start to have headaches.

"There is little place to stand" is not an exaggeration, but a realistic statement.

The west chamber, like the east chamber, was built by hollowing out the rock formations.

Therefore, if you want to clean up and excavate from above, you need to open a layer of rock, which is quite troublesome.

It can only be accessed through the corridor connecting the front rooms to the west ear room, which is the easiest.

But the chamber of the West Ear was indeed piled with funerary goods.

Archaeologists can't get in...

How to enter the West Ear Chamber smoothly and carry out the excavation bothered the group of people from the Guangzhou Archaeological Institute.

They even consulted the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences for advice from Professor Li and Kong Jianwen.

No way, I have never fought such a rich battle.

When was it unearthed in Guangzhou, and the entire ear chamber was filled with burial goods, and it was impossible to even enter the tomb?

Since the establishment of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology, it has been a unique thing!

Experts from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences have a lot of experience in this regard.

Professor Li only made a site inspection, and he was not bothered at all, and proposed an excavation method of "low suspension operation" for the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology.

The method is simple.

First of all, in the front room, several sawdust sacks are stacked into a small pile about 0.5 meters high, and a long bamboo ladder is placed on it, like a rocker, the large end is in the front room, and 3 people are placed as heavy pressure, and the other end is stretched into the west ear room.

The excavators of the archaeological institute "climbed" into the room along the bamboo ladder to conduct field observations, and first cleared out two footholds under the roots of the two stone walls in the north and south of the 1.5 meters deep into the room.

At this point, two short columns were then stacked with bricks, and a log was erected on top of them to form the first T-shaped support.

Then continue inwards and do the same to set up two more brackets.

Finally, on these three brackets of the same height, two thick planks are tiled longitudinally as "slide rails", and then three or four wooden planks slightly shorter than the horizontal width of the room are used to make horizontal tiling on the "slide rails".

In this way, a low-altitude operating platform about 0.6 meters above the indoor ground was built.

Excavation crews can bend over to clean up while sitting or lying on the platform.

Moreover, these tiled planks on the platform can also be moved with the needs of the cleaning process, which is very convenient.

As soon as Professor Li's method came out, the staff at all levels of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology were amazed.

Sure enough, it is the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the experience is really rich.

This method is indeed an easy and safe way!

The people of the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology immediately adopted this suggestion and acted quickly.

The day after Professor Li made his suggestion, they got the "seesaw" done.

Tao Jianli, a researcher at the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology, used this simple aerial ladder to drill into the West Ear Chamber from the aisle.

As soon as he entered the West Ear Chamber, the first thing Tao Jianli noticed was not the pile of various bronze ritual vessels squeezed in the room, but the large crack on the top of his head.

Although the West Ear Chamber is a room carved out of the rock, it is also capped with stone slabs.

Otherwise, in the human mind, this is not a "chamber", but a cave.

The dignified monarch of Nanyue, how can the mausoleum be in the cave, it must be built.

But the situation of this capping slate is not very optimistic.

"Each of the four large stone slabs in the room has a penetrating fracture and a serious dislocation, and the maximum dislocation may exceed 10 centimeters!"

Tao Jianli's shout soon reached the ears of the other staff of the Guangzhou Archaeological Institute who were waiting in the front room.

Moreover, the camera held by Tao Jianli and the footage taken were also synchronously transmitted to the tablet computer in the hands of the director Fu Pu.

Four cracks that were very conspicuous and suddenly looked very dangerous appeared in their eyes.

Indeed, it is very dangerous to look at it so suddenly, as if four stone slabs will hit the ground at any moment.

But after a little discussion with several researchers, Fu Pu was relieved.

"The ear chamber was built with a hole, so there was no heavy load on the top, and it didn't experience too much pressure."

"And there are no gaps around the top stone that can cause them to displace, and the space to be chiseled out is so large."

"Even if the top stone is cracked, it shouldn't collapse, it's still quite safe."

Fu Pu raised his head and looked worriedly at the three stone slabs above the corridor of the west ear chamber.

"On the other hand, the stone slab on the top of this aisle is also very seriously fractured, and it is in danger of collapsing at any time."

The location of this tomb of King Yue is very ingenious.

In the front room, main room, and back room in the center, it is not in the rock layer, but the soil layer is above, and the roof stone has to bear the pressure of filling the earth at a depth of 20 meters.

"The Sword Comes"

The east and west ear chambers, as well as the side chambers at the back, are holes dug horizontally into the rock layer, and the three walls are directly used as rock layers as walls, and only the top is covered with a stone.

The top of the top of the stone, the symbolic effect is also greater than the actual effect, there is no load-bearing pressure.

However, the roof stone on the aisle is different, and it really has to withstand the pressure of 20 meters of soil layer.

Although the soil layer on top has now been cleaned, this "load-bearing" roof is at risk of collapsing as long as cracks occur.

Fu Pu hurriedly sent someone to find the construction team to reinforce the roof stone on this side of the aisle, and after taking support and anti-collapse measures, he began to clean up with confidence.

The first thing they had to face was the doorway, which was supposed to be behind the door of the tomb in the West Ear Chamber, a pile of pottery, and two large bronze tripods on the pottery team.

It is also this pile of pottery, and two large copper tripods, that block the pace of the Guangzhou Archaeological Institute from entering the West Ear Chamber.

Moreover, in the middle of these two big copper tripods, there is a vacant position, and it can be seen that there should have been a big copper tripod.

The large bronze tripod that I saw in the front room, which obviously did not belong to the "Jingxiang Order" burial goods, as well as several pottery, came from here.

It was after the wooden West Ear Chamber tomb door rotted and rolled down into the Frontrooms.

Looking at the piles of bronzes and pottery with a thickness of up to 40 centimeters in the doorway in front of him, Fu Pu commanded several researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology to climb the long bamboo ladder.

"Let's clean up!"

"Start at the top first!"
