In fact, I already had an idea in my heart, if this tomb is simply that the owner of the tomb wants someone to accompany the burial.

It may not be that so many people will be chosen, so there is a possibility that a large number of people are buried to cover up something.

So who is the owner of this tomb? And for what reason do you want these people to come to the burial?

Could it be that he wanted to hide the location of this tomb and killed so many people?

It's completely an act of extermination, and if it's purely to protect the ancient tomb, there are some unjustifiable.

Looks like there's some secret hidden here, and I'll have to look for it.

Seeing so many dead people in the burial pit instantly reminded me of the stone monument at the entrance to the burial chamber.

It is clearly written that the words "death of the good enterer".

Could it be that the tombstone was also deliberately left by the owner of the tomb?

Wei Fengjiao and others, who had been studying for a long time, also stopped checking.

looked at us and shouted to Liu Che: "Captain Liu, there are a total of 2,832 bones in this burial pit. ”

"And there are a lot of female bones among them, and the rest are soldiers, and some ordinary people, who should be slaves or craftsmen."

Just after Wei Fengjiao finished speaking, the taciturn Professor Wang also stood up.

Jumping out of the burial pit and saying to us, "The people in this burial pit have all kinds of postures, and they may have been immobilized before they died. ”

"This reminds me of something that we saw when we were working on archaeology, excavating ancient tombs."

Professor Wang patted the dust on his body slowly, thought for a while, and then said: "The tomb we found is that there was a king of Guangchuan in the Western Han Dynasty. ”

"After archaeological excavations, it was found that this person has a great hobby, often gathering hooligans and scoundrels to rob people's tombs."

"And I like to keep the process of robbing my tomb, which is recorded in some ancient books."

"When our archaeological team excavated his tomb, we also found the identity of his tomb robber and obtained the tomb robbery notes."

"There's a passage about him digging up an ancient tomb, and here's what happened."

"Once, when they were digging an ancient tomb, the tomb was covered with a stone slab more than a foot thick and mica more than a foot deep."

"There are hundreds of bones buried inside, and each one of them is very well preserved when it is excavated, sitting or lying, and there are still standings."

"The shape of the clothes is no different from that of a living person, and what is even stranger is that all the men in the tomb are women, except for the only man."

"After the research of King Guangchuan, it turned out that this was the tomb of King You, the last monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and these more than 100 women were all concubines who died for King You."

At this point, Professor Wang paused and glanced at a few of us.

After sorting out his thoughts, he continued: "Burial is a very old custom."

"As early as primitive societies, people buried the tools they used with them, as well as their favorite daily necessities, with the dead."

"But in a slave society, slaves, as talking tools, were also killed or buried alive for burial"

Let them continue to serve their masters in the "underworld," and the number of martyrs may be as few as a few dozen, or as many as thousands. ”

"For example, these burial pits in front of us, but this is the first time I have seen so many people martyred."

When Professor Wang finished speaking, he patted the dust on his hands, and Wei Fengjiao also walked over.

He said to a few of us, "I'm adding to Professor Wang, after entering the class society."

"Women have been reduced to the playthings and vassals of aristocratic men. These can also serve as a breakthrough in human martyrdom. ”

"Women make up a significant proportion of the martyrs in any mausoleum."

"In the Shang Dynasty's divination, there is a record of killing and killing female slaves."

"Of course, the identity of the martyrs is not all slaves, but also the wives and concubines of the tomb owner and retainers."

"You have also seen that there are also guards with knives in the burial pit, and they are also buried with them."

"In history, the emperors who accompanied the funeral martyrs abounded, especially Qin II."

"When Qin Shi Huang was alive, in order to obtain the elixir, he once sent thousands of boys and girls to go to the sea to find immortals."

"At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to cultivate the huge Lishan First Emperor Mausoleum for themselves."

"But after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Qin II officially announced that all the palace maids in the harem would be martyred."

"After this time, the number of palace maids who were martyred, and the number of craftsmen who were killed and buried, the total number is tens of thousands."

The brutality of Qin Shi Huang and Qin II that Wei Fengjiao said, I am naturally familiar with the details.

However, I don't understand why she mentioned this at this time?

Wei Fengjiao sorted out her thoughts, and immediately said: "Let's say one more thing, that is the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." ”

"After his death, although a large number of gold and silver property, birds, beasts, fish and turtles, cattle and leopards were buried."

"Originally, he was going to be buried with him, but after all, his thousands of concubines and palace maids all saved their lives."

"With the people's resistance and social progress, the funeral system also evolved from the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty"

"Except in remote ethnic minority areas, forced burial of women as an institution no longer exists."

"However, in the relevant historical sources, there are other emperors who later practiced this vice."

"When the issue of burial reached the Ming Dynasty, although the economy and science had made great progress, the practice of burial with women was once revived."

"Zhu Wuzhang was the first to set a bad example when he was alive, and after the death of his second son King Qin in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, he ordered the burial of two princesses."

"After Zhu Yuanzhang himself died, there were forty-six concubines to accompany the burial of Xiaoling, and the remaining dozen or so palace maids were all martyred."

"After the death of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, there were more than 30 palace concubines who were martyred. After that, Renzong and Xuanzong were also buried with five concubines and ten concubines. ”

"Therefore, under the feudal system in history, there is no way for this person to be martyred."

Wei Fengjiao talked eloquently and told us a number of cases, including many famous monarchs.

For example, Qin Shi Huang, Qin II, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, no emperor was able to find a martyrdom in his own mausoleum.

Liu Che also came back to his senses, and he listened with a look of unfinished thinking, as if he still wanted Wei Fengjiao to talk about it.

Looking at his appearance, I immediately interrupted him and spoke first, "Professor Wei, do you see anything in the burial pit?" ”

Wei Fengjiao immediately replied: "Through the bones that Sun Liang got just now, I also did a careful analysis."

"This skeleton is about 2,400 years old, to more than 2,500 years old."

"It can be roughly analyzed from this time period, so as to further know the identity of the owner of the tomb."

"Looking at the clothes that remain and are not rotten, the style is closer to the style of the Qin Dynasty."

"However, it is only close, there are some differences, and this needs to be further studied."

I glanced at Wei Fengjiao, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked her.

"So, how long will Professor Wei's research take?"
