Some of the figurines in the tomb have ribbons and rectangular objects with the words "Langzhong" or "中郎" on them.
Their hands were half-clenched and placed on their right ribs, with their left fist on top and their right fist on the bottom. The weapon they held was definitely a wooden halberd, but it was rotten.
The lower body is worn with fat hakama, and the feet are on round-headed or double-pointed shoes.
Such a batch of pottery figurines, if placed in modern times, would be enough to support a large museum.
I don’t know how many of them can be preserved to this day, mainly because these things are not convenient to transport.
After dealing with this batch of pottery figurines, we can only pick up other things in the mud.
The only things that can exist in the mud, besides gold, are jade.
What Chen Wenzhe could see were bracelets and gold cups decorated with animal heads!
He even discovered that there were a large number of jade articles and jade wool stored inside!
These include jade pendants, jade jues, jade swords, etc., all in different colors and styles!
Especially the jade pendant among them, Chen Wenzhe looked like an ornament on the sword of a prince or noble.
This kind of jade pendant was unearthed from the tombs of three generations of Chu kings. Some experts estimate that the jade pendant is worth at least 300 million yuan.
The Chu State has a lot of jade, and the quality of the jade is quite good.
Not to mention anything else, the gold-lined jade garment with the most jade pieces was also one of the unearthed from the tomb of King Chu, and the quality of the jade is also the best.
Of course, the most abundant items are gold items, and there are all kinds of them.
For example, gold earrings, gold and jade crowns, and then crowns.
The crown is covered with thin gold pieces, which is very dazzling!
And the most dazzling thing is not the gold pieces, but the dragon on the crown, a red gold walking dragon, majestic and domineering!
Seeing these bright lights, Chen Wenzhe's eyes were almost blinded.
He has seen the world, but after seeing the things unearthed from King Chu's tomb, he became Grandma Liu.
Next, he saw a gilt silver bowl with sea beast water ripples and a gold and white jade bracelet.
I also saw a jade bowl that was all inlaid with gold, and there were many gems on it. Look at that head, each gem weighed more than 200 carats, which can be said to be priceless.
As the mud was cleared, the golden rooster hairpin used by the concubines in the harem was also discovered. Needless to say, this ancient cemetery palace must be connected to a queen's tomb.
The golden rooster hairpin is complex in shape and looks more like a phoenix. It is quite small at first glance, and I don’t know if it is that comfortable to wear on my head!
Next, he saw several more gems, which should be the gems collected by King Chu during his lifetime.
Of course, these things are what modern people prefer. In ancient times, they were probably inconspicuous little things.
Therefore, what people pay more attention to are some gold and silverware.
For example, a gold ibex statue, a gilt silver pot with dancing horse's title cup pattern, a gilt silver pot with a handle and a parrot pattern, and a gilt silver plate with six curves of Fei Lian pattern appear one by one.
One of the gold and jade wine bottles is the most eye-catching. It is studded with precious stones and top-quality jade. Such a piece is worth more than ten million.
Next is a lot of gold, a lot of it.
It is said that as much as 4 million taels of gold were unearthed from the tomb of the third generation King of Chu.
One tael in the Han Dynasty is equal to 15.625 grams in modern times, which is four million taels. How many grams of gold is it?
Sixty million grams, this is sixty thousand kilograms of gold?
It must be fake, right? It’s simply impossible.
However, that was gold that had already been unearthed. Could it be that the statistics of those archaeologists were wrong?
So, whether you believe it or not, this is the truth!
Sixty thousand kilograms is sixty tons, and this is just the king of a vassal state.
Just such a prince and king was buried with sixty tons of gold in one burial? How extravagant is this?
Maybe in the Han Dynasty, copper was really called gold?
If this were the case, modern people's statistics would not be expressed in terms of how many taels of gold they have.
And the evidence soon came, because Chen Wenzhe once again saw the mountains of copper coins.
Therefore, copper is copper and gold is gold. Even in the Han Dynasty, the distinction was obvious!
Chen Wenzhe was not interested in copper coins. What he was most interested in was gold.
Those people counted the harvest inside, and they got 285 gold cakes in this underground palace, each weighing "one catty"!
Gold cakes made entirely of red gold. One pound weighs one hundred and fifty grams. This was the pound in the Han Dynasty!
This is a bright gold cake. Even if the purity is low, it is definitely not a copper coin.
At least thirty-five kilograms of gold. This is real gold.
I don’t know what happened, but the most discovered thing in this tomb was actually gold, not bronze.
Modern people naturally pay more attention to bronzes, so Chen Wenzhe paid great attention to them from beginning to end.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn't find many traces of bronze. Maybe this thing was an ordinary utensil in ancient times?
Among the next discoveries, a larger amount of gold nuggets appeared. It seems that the treasury of Chu State was quite abundant at that time. They knew what gold and copper were!
If calculated like this, four million taels of gold is converted into 60 tons of real gold. Is it true?
I just thought that in the ancient tomb that Chen Wenzhe saw now, there were more copper coins.
Among them, there are more than 2 million five-baht coins. It seems that the gold back then was really gold, not copper coins!
Here, just a copper coin weighs more than 10 tons!
There are some sets of copper coins among them, but don't underestimate them. The sets of copper coins that could be put together back then must have been very rare in the Han Dynasty or before.
This kind of thing has also appeared in the tombs of the three generations of Chu kings, and each set is worth at least tens of millions.
In the tomb in front of us, two sets of chimes, a set of chimes, a complete set of harps, harps, panpipes, and nearly 200 wooden figurines of musical instruments were also found!
Among other bits and pieces, there were also priceless golden saddles and a large number of plain gold bowls. These must have been used daily by tens of thousands of people. At that time, these must have been the best in the world.
thing.
The last thing unearthed were gold flakes. When you saw these gold flakes, there was another dazzling golden light.
This is the golden jade garment, and Chen Wenzhe finally saw it.
This jade suit with gold threads is a bit strange. The gold threads are woven through the jade pieces, and there are a lot of gold pieces covering them?
Or is it two layers? The outer layer is also wrapped in a layer of gold clothing? Golden scale clothing?
I wonder if these two sets of clothes are heavy to wear?
Finally, in front of the golden jade clothes, there is another bright scene, that is a big gold seal!
The large gold seal makes you feel luxurious and majestic!
It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe doesn't recognize the seal characters on it!
However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't recognize it, he can search online, remember the words, and Chen Wenzhe will exit the traceback.
After a little research, he knew who it belonged to, Liu Li, the fourth generation king of Chu!
He really didn't expect that his guess would be so accurate.
After taking a look at the final statistics, in Liu Li's tomb, a total of 24,999 rare treasures were recovered from the underground palace.
This was the statistics of the villagers in that small mountain village back then, but what about now?
