Chapter 270: Uncover the Inner Coffin!
The matter of the copper coins in the treasury, when I saw it, although it was really shocking.
But in fact, this matter is not troublesome to deal with, but the archaeologists of the Nanchang Institute lack experience.
With a few words, they will naturally know what to do with these copper coins.
After being addicted to the eyes and seeing the scene of "decay and unschoolable", the backbone of the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Jiangxi Institute of Archaeology naturally did not forget the right thing.
For them, the opening of the inner coffin is the most important thing!
After briefly explaining how the people of the Nanchang Institute handled the treasury, Kong Jianwen and Director Wen quickly took Chen Han and them, a group of more than a dozen people, to the archaeological base less than two kilometers away next to the tomb of the Marquis of Haiding.
At this time, the inner coffin of the Marquis of Haidun had been placed in a specially prepared laboratory.
The huge coffin enjoyed the treatment of special alert.
If this is really Liu He's coffin, then he also deserves to be treated like this.
Different from the atmosphere of surprise and urgency a few days ago, the coffin is about to be opened, and it is more necessary to be calm and cautious.
The box of the coffin is tailored according to the appearance of the coffin being pressed low in the south and high in the north.
When putting on this box, it is very cumbersome.
When it comes to removing, it's just as cumbersome.
Even with the help of a crane, the inner coffin was hoisted in mid-air.
But removing the outer box fixed by steel bars and wooden planks still took Chen Han and them an afternoon's work.
Obviously, there is no way to open the coffin today.
After the coffin was sent to the hypoxic laboratory for preservation, everyone went back to rest for a while to recuperate.
Get plenty of rest and wait until everyone is back in good spirits.
Early the next morning, thirteen archaeologists from the two archaeological institutes gathered at the archaeological base to prepare for the official opening of the coffin.
The opening method of the inner coffin lid is actually no different from the several times Chen Han has participated in opening the coffin before.
It is nothing more than first cocking a corner with a wooden stick, and then starting to insert a wooden strip into it.
From top to bottom, the coffin is lifted in turn, and after a total of six wooden strips are inserted, the coffin lid is basically separated from the coffin body.
The same is borrowed from the crane, after connecting the six wooden strips with the hook of the crane, with the help of the strength of the wooden strip support, the cover plate is lifted by the crane.
It's interesting to say.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the staff on the logistics side did it specifically.
The ropes used to reinforce the coffin board and the wooden strips are all red ropes.
When tying the red rope, Chen Han couldn't help but smile and said, "Is this a zombie movie that you have watched too much?" ”
"You can use the red rope to suppress zombies?"
"I don't know if the logistics team has prepared glutinous rice to exorcise evil spirits..."
In the classic zombie movies on Hong Kong Island, if you encounter a zombie and want to control it, you must tie the coffin with a red rope so that it does not break through.
But in fact, in the movie, eleven out of ten zombies will still break out under the restraint of the red rope.
On such a serious occasion, seeing the thick red rope that was so red that it was shining, Chen Han was really a little nervous!
But Kong Jianwen glared at him very seriously, and said in a low voice: "This is also the intention of the logistics staff!" ”
"Although we are materialists, some innocuous customs can still be respected!"
Chen Han muttered amusedly: "But this red rope doesn't have to be tied to the coffin to be useful, just to connect the crane and the coffin board, it doesn't seem to be useful..."
"The logistics staff don't know what we're going to do with the rope!" Kong Jianwen glared at Chen Han again.
This time, Chen Han didn't dare to talk back anymore, and lowered his head to help.
After the coffin board was transferred, Lin Ya and several other female colleagues immediately took a few pieces of rice paper that had been moistened with water.
Chen Han and the others took the rice paper, and they didn't even look at the situation inside the coffin, and immediately covered the rice paper into the coffin.
Because of the different internal and external humidity, in order to prevent the coffin from being dehydrated and cracked with the burial utensils, it is necessary to use this moistened rice paper soaked in water immediately after the coffin is opened to cover the cultural relics in the coffin.
After that, after the humidity in the laboratory and the cultural relics in the coffin reach a balance, the rice paper will be removed and the cleaning of the inner coffin will officially begin.
However, in the process of laying rice paper in this short time, everyone glanced at the coffin a few times, and then they all shook their heads in disappointment.
If you don't decompose the ancient corpse or something, it's no fun.
The situation of the inner coffin, basically the same as the outer coffin, is full of black and gray decay, and after more than 2,000 years, the precipitation is very strong.
The inner coffin now looks like a dry asphalt lake, or a half-dry cement pool.
There is no stagnant water in the coffin, and in this environment, it is impossible to have an incorruptible ancient corpse.
Even, maybe even whether there is a corpse left or not, there is a question mark!
"And the golden cake?!"
Zhuang Yunpeng suddenly exclaimed, but it did not trigger a fierce reaction from everyone.
Golden bread, see also golden bread.
This discovery can only be said to be a reasonable thing.
There is a gold cake in the outer coffin.
There was also a golden cake in the outer coffin.
Now there is also a golden cake in the inner coffin, which is also a normal thing.
It can only be said that this tomb owner really loves gold too much.
Perhaps the previous speculation can be reversed.
The two boxes of gold cakes found under the bed in the outer coffin room before, and a box of horseshoe gold.
There are also one or two hundred gold cakes and horseshoe gold in the outer coffin, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the removal of the Marquis of Haidu...
These gold may have been ordered by Liu He himself before his death to take these gold to his funeral.
After all, this is a nobleman who has even buried more than two million copper coins, for fear that he will have no money to spend after his death.
It seems not surprising that he must have done everything he could to bring all the gold he could to the ground.
It can only be said that Liu He is an alternative among the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty, and he does not consider the question of whether the descendants have money to spend, and brings all the gold and silver treasures of the Marquis of Haihuang and even the King of Changyi to the ground...
For the discovery of the golden cake, everyone's mood is not moved at all.
Now, including Chen Han, the 14 archaeologists present have only one thought in their hearts, that is, whether there will be anything in the tomb to prove the identity of the owner of the tomb.
All the archaeological team members are now full of anticipation, and at the same time a little nervous, for fear that there will be no cultural relics in it that everyone wants to get, about the identity of the tomb owner...
This kind of apprehension, contradiction, and fear, it can be said that it is a very tangled psychology, and it is almost in time for the college entrance examination to check the score.
In this way, with this peculiar mood, everyone waited for about ten minutes before finally opening the rice paper.
When he reached out to uncover the rice paper, Chen Han even had some uncontrollable hand tremors.
And after everyone trembled and uncovered all the rice paper, the scene of the inner coffin finally came into everyone's eyes.
"Oh my God, this is a jade vault!"
