The situation in the main burial chamber, standing on it and looking down, can be said to be unobstructed.

The most conspicuous is the brick coffin bed in the center of the main burial chamber.

The four corners of this coffin bed are already a little damaged, but you can roughly see that it has to be more than three meters long and nearly two meters wide.

Obviously, this is where the coffin is placed.

However, the coffin, which was supposed to be sitting quietly on the coffin bed, was nowhere to be found.

It's true, there's no trace at all.

If it is decayed, there should be residue, there will be wood marks, and some other burial goods in the coffin will fall.

However, on this coffin bed, there were no traces of the coffin, only some gravel, turquoise fragments, agate stone fragments and other things, scattered on the coffin bed.

", the tomb robbers stole all the coffins of the tomb owner?"

"Is it so immoral? What's there to steal from a coffin? No one buys this thing when it is sold, right? ”

Zhuang Yunpeng and Chen Han, who were standing above, were all discussing.

Tomb robbers have seen a lot.

But the tomb robbers who even stole the coffin, that is really unseen.

Generally speaking, tomb robbers will only open the coffin and steal all the treasures in the museum.

However, the coffin, as well as the body of the tomb owner, are generally not stolen, but only discarded in the main burial chamber.

It is understandable that the corpses are not stolen, whether ancient or modern, the bodies of the owners of these tombs are useless.

The coffin, this thing is also of no value, even if it is very, very well-made, and even the coffin used by the emperor is stolen and not wanted.

In ancient times, if someone died at home, they must have prepared a new coffin, and it was impossible to use a coffin used by others.

In modern times, stealing a coffin is a matter of having nothing to do.

Even if there were a few strange collectors who were interested in collecting coffins, the tomb robbers would not take the risk of carrying the coffins out of the tomb.

It's so big!

It's really hard to transfer, and it's not easy to transfer.

With this kind of effort, isn't it also profitable to bring a few more pieces of gold and silverware?

Therefore, many of the tombs found by the archaeological team, even if they have been repeatedly robbed and have more than a dozen robbery holes, usually the coffins will still be in the tomb.

At most, all the valuable things in the coffin are gone, and only the remains of the tomb owner are left to be picked up by tomb thieves and even discarded.

Like this tomb, it is really rare to see no traces of the coffin on the coffin bed.

"Could it be that the owner of the tomb hasn't had time to bury yet?" Zhuang Yunpeng muttered uncertainly.

"How is that possible!" Chen Han rolled his eyes: "Didn't you listen to the leader, this was decided to excavate after a major tomb robber was cracked." ”

"That gang of tomb robbers stole more than 600 artifacts!"

"And this tomb has an above-ground sacrificial building, which means that after the tomb is sealed, there are often incense sacrifices and sacrifices."

"How can this be an empty tomb where the owner of the tomb is not buried?"

Thinking about it, Zhuang Yunpeng nodded: "Then this tomb robber is too much, and he won't even let go of the coffin." ”

"Hey, the west side of the coffin bed is near the west wall, and that place is an altar, right?"

"Looks like there's a sacrifice?"

Following Zhuang Yunpeng's pointed hand, Chen Han looked towards the west wall of the main tomb.

Sure enough, there was a place like an altar, and there was a small tablet standing on the altar.

Under the stele, there are many scattered offerings.

These sacrifices were not fruits, vegetables, or animals, but shiny gold, silver, and bronze, and something like crystal.

Seeing this, Chen Han's heart to dig the soil at that moment was immediately difficult to restrain himself.

In the entire main burial chamber, there are still quite a lot of remnants of cultural relics.

Although this tomb has been stolen many times, because it is a high-level tomb, probably the tomb of the Tuyuhun royal family, the burial goods in the tomb are also very rich.

Tomb robber gangs, it is absolutely impossible to steal all the burial goods in the tomb at one time.

Even if many groups of tomb robbers have taken care of them, there are still many scattered cultural relics left for archaeologists.

Chen Han couldn't hold back, so he shouted directly at Professor Ke at the bottom of the tomb: "Professor Ke, can we come down and start the archaeological excavation work?" ”

Professor Ke, who was still looking back at the mural, agreed without looking back: "Come down, start work!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Han immediately climbed down the ladder, and then went straight to the altar.

The first thing he looked at was not the gold, silver, and bronze objects scattered on the altar, but the small oval stone tablet.

After thousands of years, the stele has been covered with a thick layer of ash.

He couldn't wait to erase the traces on the stele, but he didn't see the words on the stele.

This is a piece of wordless monument!

", play with me!"

Chen Han, who thought that he could directly reveal the identity of the owner of the tomb, was speechless and a pity.

Generally, tombs after the Tang Dynasty are relatively easy to reveal the identity of the tomb owner.

Because since the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the epitaph has become popular.

Basically, from ordinary people to high-ranking nobles, after being buried, they will prepare a piece of epitaph engraved on themselves.

The epitaph consists of two parts, the chronicle and the inscription, which is to condense the deceased's family, virtue, learning, skills, political achievements, merits, etc., into a personal historical file, and then bring it into a stone carving in the tomb.

The so-called conclusion of the coffin is such a meaning.

Epitaphs play a significant role in the dating of tombs, the completion of the life of the tomb owner, and the deficiencies of family history, local history and even national history.

The most famous and influential is the epitaph unearthed in the tomb of Cheng Yanjin.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there is no clear record of Cheng Yanjin's youth, nor is there a record of his family background.

Therefore, before Cheng Yanjin's epitaph was unearthed, many people felt that Cheng Yanjin in history was a "big old man", with a bad family background, smuggled smuggled salt, and squatted in prison, and was a pure martial artist.

However, the unearthing of Cheng Yanjin's epitaph changed this impression.

According to the epitaph of Cheng Yanjin's tomb, it can be known that Cheng Yanjin was born in a family of eunuchs, and his great-grandfather, grandfather and father have always been officials in the court, especially his father Cheng Lou, who was the official to the "Great Zhongzheng".

The position of "Dazhongzheng" is now equivalent to the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee!

This is not something that anyone can do casually, it must be from a wealthy local aristocracy to have a chance.

Cheng Biting Jin's family is not an ordinary family at all, and he himself is not a big boss.

The family is a proper family of officials and eunuchs for generations, and they are a member of the gate lord of the scholar family.

It's just that Cheng Yanjin likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, doesn't like to read, and has always dreamed of killing enemies on the battlefield.

In terms of his family background, Cheng Yanjin is a very gentleman for the Cheng family.

It's just that gold always shines.

In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, with his armed forces and hundreds of triments trained at home, Cheng Yanjin gradually showed his mind, and finally became one of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion by virtue of his military exploits.

The appearance of Cheng Yanjin's epitaph not only completes Cheng Yanjin's own life, clarifies the world's "misunderstanding" about him, and even completes Tang history to a certain extent.

After all, Cheng Yanjin had great merit and importance for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

This, thanks to this epitaph.

Therefore, Chen Han was so excited after seeing a stone tablet on the altar, thinking that he could figure out the life of the tomb owner.

As a result, I didn't expect this to be a wordless monument.

What's going on?

Do you want to learn martial arts?

Merits and demerits have their own posterity?

But you Tugu Hun Department, you don't even have a historian who is repairing the history of the Eight Classics, where did the descendants comment? ? ?
