After determining that the stolen tomb in Dundun Mountain was the tomb of the Han Dynasty, covering an area of 40,000 or 50,000 square meters, the news was immediately reported to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.

For Nanchang and even Jiangxi, a high-profile aristocratic tomb of the Han Dynasty is also very rare.

Although Jiangxi was already an inherent territory of China during the Zong and Zhou dynasties.

But it was too remote, too far from the Central Plains of Henan, the early ruling center of China, and later the Guanzhong region.

So during the Han Dynasty, there were not many high-ranking nobles in Jiangxi.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu, Yue, and Chu divided Jiangxi.

In the early years of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Yuzhang County was set up, and the seat of governance was Nanchang County.

But this has always been the hometown of the old Chu, only the county guard, and there are no princes and kings here.

There are also very few princes who have been sealed to Yuzhang County, and most of them will not come to the country, but continue to stay in Chang'an with a dead face.

How beautiful the world of flowers is in Chang'an, and it is also the administrative center, and you can see the Son of Heaven every day.

Moreover, when the liehou stays in the center, he can still be able to get a vacancy in the center, and Jiuqing will not have the opportunity to do it.

Which liehou has a sick head, so he will run back to the feudal country far away in Yuzhang County and live behind closed doors?

It's just this Haidun Marquis family, it is impossible to get any benefits in the center, and he hangs in front of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and his descendants every day, because he thinks his life is too long, right?

Therefore, in addition to the Marquis of Haidu, it is estimated that there is no tomb of the second marquis of the Han Dynasty in Nanchang.

For Nanchang, this stolen excavation is suspected to be the tomb of a certain Marquis of Haidu, which may be the only tomb of a great nobleman of the Western Han Dynasty in Nanchang.

And it's still discoverable!

Because this tomb has just been stolen and excavated!

According to national regulations, tombs that have been cared for and excavated by tomb robbers are generally carried out rescue excavations unless it is difficult to excavate and the excavation is risky.

And that's exactly what happened.

When the Jiangxi Cultural Relics Bureau discovered a stolen tomb of the Han Dynasty Liehou and above in Nanchang, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage was immediately alarmed.

Subsequently, the team composed of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, according to the report sent by the Jiangxi Cultural Relics Bureau, made a decision to start the rescue excavation after a detailed evaluation!

A piece of paper was approved, and it was soon sent to the eucalyptus of the Jiangxi Cultural Relics Bureau.

At the same time, an archaeological team composed of archaeological staff from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences also set off and embarked on a journey to Nanchang.

This kind of tomb, which covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters, can take ten years to excavate and clean up by relying on the Nanchang Local Archaeological Institute and the Jiangxi Archaeological Institute alone.

The Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences must be involved in order to speed up the excavation process.

For a tomb that has entered the air and broken the balance of the environment in the tomb, it is also necessary to pay attention to the race against time.

It's been a few months since this hole appeared.

According to the professionalism of the tomb robbers, maybe this robbery hole is directly connected to the main tomb, and I don't know how much air enters the main tomb.

Small kiosk

Perhaps some important artifacts in the main burial chamber are already oxidizing rapidly.

You have to step in quickly!

......

"So, we have another project to dig up?" Chen Han looked surprised.

Kong Jianwen, who was standing in the center of the conference room, was also smiling.

"That's right!"

"The tomb of the nobles of the Han Dynasty discovered in Nanchang this time is very large!"

"Just the preliminary exploration of the local archaeological institute has explored the scale of more than 40,000 square meters of cemetery!"

"And that's just the preliminary exploration!"

"After that, we plan to continue to expand the scope of exploration and determine the size of this tomb!"

"But no matter how big the final scale is, there must be a rank of liehous, and maybe even a tomb specification that can only be enjoyed by royal tombs!"

Covering an area of more than 40,000 square meters, and there are tombs with ground cemetery buildings, this is really not small.

Horizontal comparison, it is also the tomb of the Nanyue king at the level of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.

The actual area of the tomb of the king of Nanyue is only more than 100 square meters!

Moreover, Zhao Hu also arrogated the title of emperor, and this more than 100 square meters is the imperial specification of Nanyue.

Compared with the Nanchang Tomb of more than 40,000 square meters, it is simply not on the table!

Of course, this tomb in Nanchang is overstretched compared with the tomb of King Liang of the Western Han Dynasty in the same period.

The tombs of King Liang of the Han Dynasty, also known as the Han Tombs of Mangdang Mountain, are located in the national 5A-level Yongcheng Mangdang Mountain Scenic Area, which is the tomb group of Liu Wu and his family of the Liang Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, including a total of 13 tombs, covering a total area of about 5.5 million square meters.

On average, each tomb covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters.

Of course, the area here actually includes the area of the ground cemetery, not the actual area of the underground tombs.

The area of the underground tomb, the largest tomb of Mrs. Liang Wang, the total area of the underground palace is more than 1,600 square meters.

Although the area of the cemetery excavated in Nanchang is more than 40,000 square meters, the actual tomb is definitely not so large.

However, it must be much larger than the tomb of the king of Nanyue.

A few hundred square meters is definitely there.

If the owner of this tomb can be determined to be the first Marquis Liu He, it is not unusual for the tomb to have an area of thousands of square meters.

This is Liu He!

Liu He, who was the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty!

Although he only served as emperor for 27 days.

But according to the official history books.

After Liu He was deposed, he took away a large amount of treasures belonging to the emperor.

The queen mother at that time did not stop Liu He's behavior, and Huo Guang did not care.

In a sense, these floating fortunes can be regarded as some compensation for Liu He, the loser of the imperial competition.

For the rich Son of Heaven, these treasures taken away by Liu He are nothing.

But for Liu He, who was only a marquis of Haidu, the large amount of treasures he took away from the palace of the Western Han Dynasty were enough to make him richer than ordinary princes and kings.

You must know that the era in which Liu He lived was not the era in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty when the central government and the local government were poor.

The era in which he lived was the rule of Wenjing, and then the period after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the frontier!

Although, because of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people's living standards did not look like a prosperous era at all.

But for the high-level of this country, the Western Han army fought in all directions, and the large amount of gold and silver treasures obtained were all divided among the upper nobles.

And the one who got the biggest head was the son of Liu's heaven!

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who succeeded to the throne after Liu He, made great efforts to govern and rest with the people, and the Western Han Dynasty quickly moved towards the most prosperous period of the entire dynasty!

It can be seen that the economic level of the middle and upper classes of the Western Han Dynasty at that time was very good.

At that time, the son of the Liu family had a lot of treasures!

A part of what Liu He took away was enough to support his luxurious life, and let him build a big underground palace, and bring all these treasures underground after his death!

Yes, according to the universal truth of the Western Han Dynasty, after death, people must bring all their treasures to the earth.

Except for the immovable property that could not be taken away, all other gold and silver treasures had to be taken underground and would not be left to future generations.

The descendants who inherited the title of Marquis of Haidun only inherited the title, food, territory, and their father's connections.

As for the gold and silver treasures that Liu He himself fished from the palace, they must be taken to the ground and used after his death!

If, this Nanchang tomb is the tomb of the first Marquis of Haiding.

It's full of treasures!
