The situation in the main burial chamber can actually be seen at a glance.

Although the coffin is already decaying.

But judging from the decay marks, it is clear that there is no yellow intestine inscription in the main burial chamber.

Because the yellow intestine is made of a lot of cypress.

Take the more famous Elephant Trunk Mouth Tomb No. 1 and Steep Cliff Mountain Tomb No. 1 as examples.

The yellow intestine inscription of these two tombs is made of 908 cypress trees, which surround the outer coffin and are slightly lower than the outer coffin.

The front and back walls are 13.2 meters wide, the two sides are 14.1 meters long, and the inscription wood is 25 meters wide and 0.3 meters thick.

The yellow intestine inscription of the king's tomb, some even made of tens of thousands of cypress trees, the outer diameter is 18 meters long, 10.8 meters wide, and about 3 meters high.

To put it simply, the yellow intestine inscription is actually a main burial chamber made of cypress wood.

The whole yellow intestine is divided into three parts: the antechamber, the inner coffin and the corridor.

These three parts are divided into seven rooms, and each small room is divided into pottery, lacquerware, silk fabrics, and burial goods.

It can be understood that the yellow intestine inscription room is an enlarged version of a coffin.

The coffin in the Han Tomb of No. 168 Fenghuang Mountain is enlarged into a burial chamber, and then built with cypress, which is the yellow intestine inscription.

This tomb of the king of Nanyue is a stone chamber tomb.

When Chen Han and the three of them climbed in from the tunnel under the tomb door, they could determine the specifications of the non-yellow intestine inscription with just a glance.

Because the length and width of the main burial chamber are only three or four meters, it is far from the specifications of the yellow intestine inscription.

In fact, the main tomb of the king of Nanyue is similar to the tomb of the monarch of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It is a four-meter-long and wide burial chamber, with a coffin in the center and a pile of burial goods around it.

Perhaps this is the reason why He Zhao Tuo was born in the late Warring States period and did not fully accept the central system of the Western Han Dynasty.

Although the burial style of "inscription" began in ancient times.

In fact, it originated from burial chambers made of wood.

In ancient times, ordinary people were buried by digging a pit and burying it.

Only a very extravagant tribal leader could build a posthumous residence for himself out of expensive wood.

However, it was not until the Western Han Dynasty that the "yellow intestine inscription" really became the specification of the emperor's mausoleum.

According to the ritual system of the Han Dynasty, the yellow intestine inscription and the Zi Palace, the bedchamber, the outer coffin, and the golden jade clothes belong to the tomb specifications of the emperor's mausoleum, and ordinary people cannot use it.

At the beginning, Chen Han was in the front room, and when they found the coffin hidden outside, they were secretly looking forward to it in their hearts.

There are hidden coffins, and the burial rites such as the yellow intestine inscription and the golden jade clothes are also very likely to appear in them.

As a result, after Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, and Ling An entered the main tomb, they saw at a glance that the main tomb was not a yellow intestine burial style, and they were secretly lost.

Perhaps the monarchs of the Nanyue family did not accept the funeral system of the central Western Han Dynasty, but still followed the funeral rites of the Qin Dynasty.

Then the golden jade clothes, which will only be used in the Han Dynasty, will probably not appear.

Then, the owner of the tomb who did not play according to the routine gave them a rollercoaster surprise.

Hey, although you don't use the yellow intestine question, but you use a golden jade clothes, you can't think of it, right?

It's not funny at all.

Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng only felt as if they had done a roller coaster, and their mood was up and down.

"It's really a piece of jade with golden threads!"

Reaching out and gently stroking the jade piece that Ling An had found, Chen Han's eyes were excited.

Although it is said that only a dozen or twenty golden jade clothes have been unearthed in the country, there are many fewer than those bronze ritual vessels, pottery, and even jade seals.

However, this thing is too famous.

Anyone who studies archaeology is so famous that they will definitely find the opportunity to visit the museum and see it for themselves.

"Let's go, the two directors and Professor Li should be in a hurry."

"The indoor environment has been filmed, let's go out and report!"

Chen Han cautiously and reluctantly put the piece of jade back on the ground, beckoning Zhuang Yunpeng and Ling An to return the same way.

This piece of jade must not be taken out.

They need to climb out through the tunnel, if they bring the jade piece, in case the jade piece is worn out in the process of climbing, this is a major loss for the archaeological community!

So even if he was nostalgic, Chen Han didn't dare to bring it.

......

After Chen Han and the others climbed out of the tunnel with the photographed situation of the main burial chamber, Professor Li immediately convened a meeting of the excavation team.

All researchers from the two archaeological institutes participated.

There was only one topic to discuss, how to open the main burial chamber.

There was a heated discussion around the three proposals put forward earlier.

In the end, the three leaders still felt.

Because most of the top cover stone has been seen to have a fracture phenomenon, such as the use of the large lifting method, the cover stone will be broken when hanging away, which is not conducive to the protection of the original site of the tomb in the future, so it can not be used.

And enter through the tunnel, considering the basic safety of the burial chamber, the pit should not be too large and too deep, so that the entry and exit of the staff is extremely inconvenient, and it is known that the shape of the burial object in the rear is quite large, it is difficult to transfer out of the tunnel, and this square eucalyptus is also not advisable.

After discussing for a long time, everyone thought that it was still necessary to find a way to open the stone door to facilitate the entry and cleaning.

So, in the afternoon, everyone widened and deepened the tunnel a little more, and Lin Ya and two other researchers from the Guangzhou Institute entered the main tomb again to map and map the plans of several piles of pottery behind the stone gate.

A portion of the pottery was then temporarily removed and moved to the depths of the main burial chamber to make room for the stone door to be opened.

At the same time, Director Fu also invited Captain Tang of the Stone Construction Engineering Team of the Municipal Garden Bureau to help discuss the method of opening the stone gate.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

Captain Tang of the stone construction engineering team has dealt with stones all his life and has done a lot of stone gates.

Although the stone gate of the tomb of the king of Nanyue is a product of 2,000 years ago, it is not difficult for him.

After some field investigation, he found a crack in the upper axis of the stone gate on the west side.

Captain Tang thought that this crack could be used to open a stone door.

The method is to dig at the bottom of the threshold under this door, as long as the steamed bun is dug slowly, because the stone door is very heavy, there are cracks in the upper shaft, and the stone door panel must also sink with it, so that it can be safely hoisted away.

tomato

The next day, everyone will follow the construction plan set yesterday.

First hollow out the stone door below, make the stone door sink a little, wait for the four sides to have a vacancy, use a sack to tie the stone door pad and then tie the wire rope, with the help of a manual hoist, the door panel is smoothly lifted away, moved to the tomb door outside the temporary storage.

In this way, the stone door was removed, but the door shaft used for load-bearing was still there, which could effectively bear the load.

However, in order to avoid the risk of collapse, it was reinforced with two metal brackets in case of accidents.

Finally, two thick wooden slabs were laid on the doorway as mats, and the main burial chamber was completely open to all archaeologists.

Everyone can come and go as they please, and the cleaning of the main burial chamber has officially begun!

"First clean up the lacquered wooden screen placed against the east wall to make room for squatting and standing for the coffin!"

"Don't touch anything in the coffin!"
