Chapter 249: The Main Burial Chamber!

Open the main burial chamber, this is definitely the most important link in the archaeology of a tomb!

Because the main burial chamber is the most important location!

The most precious and most important treasures of the tomb owner are placed in the main burial chamber and even in the coffin!

And the main tomb of Liu He, Marquis of Haiding, is undoubtedly an important place that has attracted national attention!

The Han Dynasty was a very magical dynasty.

Why is the Han tomb ten chambers and nine empty?

On the one hand, it is because the Han tomb is indeed too conspicuous, and the sealed soil is high, which is easy to be patronized by tomb thieves.

On the other hand, it is also because the Han tomb is the most abundant burial goods among the tombs of the past dynasties!

The gold and silver treasures in the Han tomb are countless!

Legend has it that Cao Cao robbed the official tomb and dug a bunch of tombs of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty in the north, and the income from one tomb could help him raise tens of thousands of troops for a year!

You know, in ancient times, raising tens of thousands of troops, that cost a lot at all!

Don't look at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are constantly fighting and dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops, as if soldiers are worthless.

But in fact, in the official history, the armies of Wei, Shu and Wu combined, there were no 500,000 people.

The famous Battle of Chibi, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", said that Cao Cao led an army of 800,000 to the south, Liu Cong, who controlled Jingzhou, had 600,000 naval troops, and the Sun-Liu coalition army also had 450,000.

But in fact, in the official history, Cao Cao had at most about 150,000 soldiers and horses on hand at that time, excluding the 50,000 or 60,000 people who left Ma Chao, Han Sui and others who were on guard against Xiliang.

In fact, he brought at most 100,000 soldiers and horses with him when he went south.

Then in Jingzhou, fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses were collected from Liu Biao's side.

Combined, that's 150,000 people.

And the number of Sun-Liu coalition troops was also very small, Liu Bei was still nesting in Xinye at that time, and he plus the soldiers and horses of Liu Qi, Liu's cousin, a total of only 30,000 people.

Sun Quan's side, although he already occupied Jiangdong, Jiangdong was an undeveloped place in the Three Kingdoms, and in fact, there were only 100,000 soldiers in the entire Jiangdong.

Moreover, in order to suppress the Baiyue rebellion within Jiangdong, Sun Quan could only take out 50,000 people to participate in the Battle of Chibi at most.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei, who was only in Xinye City at that time, was able to unite with Sun Quan.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses of him and Liu Qi are already a lot for Sun Quan, who can only mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, enough to become allies!

In other words, in fact, the Battle of Chibi was 150,000 troops of Cao Cao and 80,000 troops of Sun and Liu's coalition army.

Although the ratio is still as high as 1 to 2, this battle is indeed not to the point where it cannot be fought at all.

In the end, Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi.

Otherwise, if he really had 800,000 people to fight the Battle of Chibi, what would the Sun-Liu coalition army use to fight Cao Cao?

And Cao Cao, who mastered the core and rich land of the Central Plains, only had 150,000 soldiers and horses on hand, which shows that raising troops was a costly thing at that time!

Even raising so many soldiers and horses alone has made Cao Cao so poor that he has to make an idea from the underground tombs and make money for military expenses.

Then, something happened that he didn't expect.

He knew that there were many treasures in the tombs of the nobles of the Han family, but he didn't expect that there were so many treasures!

The tomb of a prince and king, the treasure dug up by stealthily digging up, is enough for him to raise tens of thousands of soldiers for a year!

This was really a surprise to him, so Cao Cao's tomb robbery business has been out of control since then.

After hearing the news, Sun Quan was also ready to move, and he also wanted to find the tomb thieves of the Han Dynasty on his own territory.

However, in the Jiangdong region, there were no great nobles above the rank of liehou in the Han Dynasty, and the "resources" were definitely not as rich as those in the Central Plains.

But Sun Quan estimated that he also tasted the sweetness and made a fortune in the tomb under his own ground.

Otherwise, after he occupied Jiaozhou, he would not have sent someone to find the tomb of the king of Nanyue, and finally dug out the third king of Nanyue, Zhao Yingqi.

On the side of Shu, there is no official news of tomb robbery.

But it's understandable to think about it.

Liu Bei considered himself to be the person who inherited the Han dynasty and the Sanxing Han family.

The official name of the country has always been called Han, and there has never been a saying of "Shu", but later generations are used to calling it that.

So Liu Bei, who inherited the Han dynasty and was a relative of the Han family, naturally it was impossible for his subordinates to dig up Han tombs in the ruling area.

Isn't this digging up your own ancestors!

However, after this toss by Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the saying that the Han tombs are all treasures is well known.

Later, in the next one or two thousand years, the Han tombs in various places were dug up, and it was difficult to find Han tombs that had not been stolen.

And this tomb of the Marquis of Nanchang Hailun is very rare, and it is almost a tomb of a high-ranking nobleman in the Western Han Dynasty who was dug up by tomb robbers!

No one knows how many treasures will appear in the well-preserved tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, and even what cultural relics will change history!

This is no joke.

The history of the Han Dynasty is actually still covered with a layer of fog for modern people.

For example, in the history books, there is not much to find that the Han Dynasty had exchanges with Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, the Philippines and other places across the sea.

However, a few years ago in Sumatra, Indonesia, a pottery furnace engraved with the words "four years of the first century" in the Western Han Dynasty was unearthed.

This shows that during the time of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the merchants of the Western Han Dynasty had footprints all over Southeast Asia, and even sold their goods to the Strait of Malacca.

Emperor Yuan of Han was the son of Emperor Xuan of Han.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, it was the peak of the entire Western Han Dynasty, with the highest national strength and the most prosperous territory.

North to Mobei, west to Central Asia, east to North Korea, south to Southeast Asia, the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han family dare not obey!

At that time, the Western Han Dynasty was the largest empire in Asia, and all nations came to the dynasty!

And Liu He, the Marquis of Haidu, is living in this prosperous period!

In his main burial chamber, there may be treasures from all over Asia, and it may even change the history of Southeast Asia, West Asia and other countries!

For example, the discovery of spices from Sumatra in his main burial chamber proves that during the Western Han Dynasty, Malacca had extensive exchanges with China.

It is also possible to discover other things that have changed the history of China.

Like those cordyceps, that still, that peanuts......

This tomb of the Marquis of Hailun has given too many surprises to the archaeologists.

Correspondingly, everyone's expectations for the main burial chamber are also higher.

Now the date of the excavation of the main burial chamber has finally been determined.

All the staff of the entire joint archaeological team were immediately alive and full of motivation.

The already quick clean-up was sped up a few points again.

The cultural relics in the east and west storage rooms are cleaned out every day at a speed visible to the naked eye, and are loaded and sent to the archaeological base for laboratory archaeology.

The archaeological plan for the main burial chamber is also being intensively formulated.

In fact, there is nothing complicated, it is the same as before, remove the top cover plate on it, and then build various steel operating tables and footholds, and you can carry out the cleaning work.

In anticipation of the archaeological team, a week later, the mysterious main burial chamber was finally revealed.

It's just that the main tomb that was displayed in front of everyone once again refreshed the archaeological team's perception of the Han Dynasty tomb!
