"Seals?"

The importance of seals does not need to be repeated in ancient tombs.

As long as the seals can be found, especially those with inscriptions, the mystery of the identity of the tomb owner can be solved almost immediately.

As long as the archaeological staff in the main tomb room, they all hurriedly put down the work at hand and ran to the side of the No. 1 robbery cave.

This seal was found in the disturbed soil under the No. 1 thief cave.

Apparently, the tomb robbers fell to the ground while transferring the burial goods through the robbery hole.

This is normal.

Some small objects, when tomb robbers rob tombs, are often left in the robbery hole, or in the disturbance next to the robbery hole.

On the one hand, it is because tomb robbers will still be nervous when robbing tombs after all, and when they are nervous, they will be in a hurry and drop something.

On the other hand, when climbing the thief hole, it is really not an easy job.

At least in modern times, it is basically impossible for people who have not been professionally trained to climb the cave with burial goods.

In the process of climbing, some small pieces of burial goods will be dropped.

Therefore, if the stolen tomb is relatively clean, the disturbance near the robbery hole will usually be the only place where there can be harvest.

"Square, nose button, button wear is round, there are traces of the seal inside the wear, this is a very common seal."

"But the print is a little small, looking at the side length is less than two centimeters, but it is quite high, it must be three or four centimeters high."

This seal found in the disturbed soil basically maintains the style of the seal of the Han Dynasty, with a side length of less than two centimeters.

In fact, the seals of most dynasties are about two or three centimeters long, including the emperor's imperial seal.

The kind of square seal in the TV series that needs to be held with both hands at every turn will basically not appear in reality.

"How's that, what's the word engraved on the print?"

"Who is the owner of the tomb?"

The sound of gossip sounded, and a small mark quickly turned the hands of many people.

When it reached Chen Han's hand, he finally saw the facet of this seal.

It's a pity that he was disappointed.

The inscription on this side is inscribed and consists of an image of a Bactrian camel and Tibetan script.

The image of a camel, he is understandable.

But in the Tibetan language, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

But there are quite a lot of words, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight subtitles.

"Do you know Tibetan?"

Kong Jianwen roared, and everyone present shook their heads.

Including members of the QH Provincial Institute of Archaeology.

Although Qinghai was once the main burial area of the Tubo Kingdom, more than 2,000 Tubo tombs have been discovered so far.

However, not many of these tombs of the Tibetan Kingdom have been excavated, and most of them have been protected.

And even if a lot of them have been excavated, there is still a Qijia culture here in Qinghai.

Therefore, everyone did not have the time to study Tibetan, and most of them were sent to the Tibetan Language Research Institute to help them translate.

However, in Gansu next door, because of the existence of the Dunhuang Grottoes, there are a bunch of classics written in Tibetan script, so there are many scholars who understand Tibetan language.

"Forget it, send it to the Tibetan Institute and ask about it."

Li Chunchao, deputy director of the Qinghai Institute of Archaeology, took out his mobile phone and turned off the flash, then took a picture of the print and sent it to a Tibetan scholar he knew.

If you are doing archaeology in Qinghai, you don't know Tibetan, but you must know a few Tibetan scholars.

In particular, the deputy director of Professor Ke has a lot of connections.

As soon as the news from his side was sent, it didn't take a few minutes for someone to answer him.

This is the ancient Tibetan used in Tibet, which can be roughly translated as "the seal of the nephew Achaiwang". ”

When the other archaeologists were told the news, they all fell into deep thought.

King Achai?

Archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences looked at Professor Ke suspiciously.

Isn't this the royal tomb of the Tuyuhun tribe?

So what does King Achai mean?

What kind of prince is it in Tibet?

"Dunhuang Grottoes once unearthed a fragment of the "Achai Chronicle", which records the history of the Tuyuhun Department."

"Modern scholars study the Tuyuhun tribe, if they want to find their history from historical materials and documents, then this "Achai Chronicle" must not be bypassed."

"Achai, is the name of the Tubo people for Tuyuhun."

With such an explanation, it is clear.

The origin of this tomb can be determined, this is a tomb of the royal family of Tuyuhun.

"Previously, based on the tree rings of the burial shed, the age of this tomb could be determined to be 744±35 years."

"This time was the reign of Tubo Zampu Trisong Detsen."

"Since it can be known from the Indian interpretation that the owner of the tomb may be King Achai, then according to the relevant records in the "Achai Chronicle".

"It is preliminarily presumed that the owner of the tomb may be the Tuyuhun King Mohe Tuhun Khan under the rule of Tubo."

After thinking about it for a while, Professor Ke gave a judgment on the identity of the owner of the tomb.

Kong Jianwen frowned, and said with some doubts: "The annual ring dating of the shed wood has a positive and negative difference of 35 years, and this time difference is enough for the overlap of two generations of Tuyuhun kings." ”

"How can you be sure of the identity of the tomb's owner?"

35 years is not a small number.

According to the average reign of the ancient emperors, and considering that the Tuyuhun tribe was a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural society, the aristocratic life was not as pampered as the emperors of the Central Plains.

The reign of one of their kings is probably shorter.

In 35 years, there have only been two alternate terms, which is all to say less.

In this case, the owner of this tomb must have at least two or three candidates.

Why is Professor Ke so sure of the identity of the owner of the tomb?

"Lao Kong, you don't know the lineage of the Tubo Kingdom and Tuyuhun."

Professor Ke shook his head and patiently explained, "Look at the words on that seal. ”

"Nephew Achai King, the "nephew" here is very important. ”

"During the reign of Tubo Zampu - Trisong Detsen, the king of Tuyuhun, Mohe Tuhun, his mother was the princess of Tubo."

"Mohe Tuhun himself is Trisong Detsen's nephew."

"So this nephew, King Achai, can only be Mohe Tuhun!"

In the process of conquering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tibet successively annexed dozens of small states such as Yangtong (Zhangxiong), Subi, Tuyuhun and other small states.

Of course, the "annexation" here is different from the great unification of the Han people in the Central Plains, similar to the division of the Zhou Dynasty.

Tubo only conquered these small states, and then gave these small states their own kings, but they all had to pay tribute to the central Tibetan government and send people to fight for Tibet.

This is why when the late Tang Dynasty made the separation, Tibet was also in chaos.

Because the situation in Tibet is similar to that in the late Tang Dynasty, it is a bunch of separatist forces in China that hold tribes and warriors.

When the central government was strong, such as the reign of strongmen like Songtsen Gampo and Trisong Detsen, the tribes conquered by Tibet were all as obedient as kittens.

But once the central government of Tibet is not good, the small states will immediately refuse to listen to the tune, do not listen to the propaganda, and close the door to their own territory.

This Tuyuhun was the Tuyuhun tribe after the destruction of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and was canonized by the Tubo State from generation to generation, and also married the Tubo royal family.

It is no wonder that Tuyuhun will be fully Tubo.

The queen mother is a Tibetan person, can she not learn Tibetan and speak Tibetan!
