Chapter 1,163 Entering (1)
"Oh, what a pity. Are these treasures and imperial seals always buried underground?!"
Zhuang Rui sighed secretly in his heart. Seeing such a huge treasure but being unable to discover it, the feeling was similar to being tied to the bed and being teased by a beautiful woman who had stripped naked. His blood was raging but there was nothing he could do.
Zhuang Rui could almost foresee what kind of storm it would cause if Genghis Khan's tomb was unearthed.
You must know that in this tomb, there are not only treasures from China, but also a large number of precious cultural relics from Persia, India and the European Middle Ages. Its influence will be worldwide.
"Let's take another look..."
Although this piece of fat cannot be eaten, it is good to satisfy your eyes. Zhuang Rui is planning to reveal this place after his death. He will leave an accurate treasure to future generations.
Picture bar?
Zhuang Rui explored the main tomb where Genghis Khan's coffin was stored. Perhaps because he felt relaxed, he actually found a batch of bamboo slips and several parchment scrolls in a corner of the tomb.
After briefly looking at the contents on the bamboo slips, Zhuang Rui discovered that it was actually Sun Tzu's Art of War written in Chinese characters. It seemed that although Genghis Khan was a Mongolian Khan, he still had a certain understanding of the Central Plains culture.
As for those parchment scrolls, they were also full of words, but Zhuang Rui knew those words, but Zhuang Rui didn't recognize them, because these words were all written in the earliest Mongolian characters.
At best, Zhuang Rui only recognized names such as Bol Jijin, Temujin, Bor Jijin, and Ogedai in them. This made Zhuang Rui feel as if he had been clawed by a cat, because these parchment scrolls,
It is very likely that it records the secrets about Genghis Khan's tomb.
For example, the exact time of Genghis Khan's burial, and the origins of the burial objects such as the national jade seal, may be answered in these sheepskin scrolls.
However, Zhuang Rui is only a half-assed archaeologist, not a linguist, and it is really impossible to decipher these words that are like earthworms and tadpoles.
"Hey, brother, why don't you sacrifice yourself, tell the secret of the eyes, and discover this treasure?"
Such an idea flashed through Zhuang Rui's mind, but then he rejected it himself. He didn't want to stay in a laboratory for the rest of his life, like a guinea pig all day long facing those guys who study human body science.
.
After extinguishing his own thoughts, Zhuang Rui continued to wander in this thousand-year-old tomb like a wandering spirit. The feeling brought by the upgraded spiritual energy was very wonderful. Looking at the tombs from thousands of years ago intuitively, he felt like
It's like walking in the long river of history.
After withdrawing his gaze from the main tomb with considerable reluctance, Zhuang Rui continued to explore the back. Genghis Khan's tomb could not have only had so few tombs. Such a huge project and his astonishing identity would be unfair.
Sure enough, after the main tomb chamber, there were eight large tomb chambers, all of which contained various rare treasures, including works from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, as well as European-style artworks. Zhuang Rui was dazzled by the sight of them.
.
"Huh? These porcelain and Buddha statues are a bit strange, aren't they?"
Zhuang Rui found a large number of ceramics in the last tomb chamber, as well as various gold and silver Buddha statues and colorful Guanyin statues. The style was quite strange and was something Zhuang Rui had never seen in China.
In addition, in a corner, there were some coins and woven documents, but Zhuang Rui didn't know the fonts. They looked more like heavenly books than Mongolian characters.
"It's not like the Indian style. The style of the ceramics is a bit like that of the Song Dynasty, but it's not the same as the Song Dynasty..."
Zhuang Rui has studied porcelain deeply and thinks that he knows the porcelain of various dynasties well. However, the porcelain found in this tomb made him frown, because the style of these porcelains is even unknown in the Palace Museum.
There is no collection, and what troubles Zhuang Rui the most is that none of these porcelains have any signatures on them.
Signing on porcelain became popular only in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were not many signed porcelains in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. This was one of the main reasons why Yuan blue and white were difficult to identify. Therefore, Zhuang Rui could not identify these porcelains based on their inscriptions.
The origin of.
However, even if there is a signature, Zhuang Rui may not be able to recognize it, because he cannot identify the fonts of the words on the coins and books in the corner of the tomb chamber.
"Could it be...a vessel from the Xixia Dynasty?"
A thought suddenly came to Zhuang Rui's mind. He thought of the dynasty that once was glorious in history, but was finally destroyed by Genghis Khan... Xixia.
Xixia refers to a feudal regime established in western China by the Dangxiang people from 1038 to 1227 AD in Chinese history. Its historical roots can be traced back to the early Tang Dynasty.
During the heyday of the Xixia Dynasty, tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the northwest of the Song Army were annihilated, and in the Battle of Hequ, they defeated Liao Xingzong, who brought 100,000 elite chariots to conquer the country. In one fell swoop, the Song, Liao, and Xia were divided into three parts of the world.
Strong national power often represents economic development. During the period when Xixia's economy was at its peak, the woolen textile industry, weapons manufacturing industry, salt mining industry, papermaking and printing industry, gold and silver manufacturing industry, jade processing industry, and brewing industry were all very developed.
There was no porcelain in Xixia, and it was all obtained by plundering the Song people at first.
During the Yizong period of Xixia, Xixia began to build porcelain kilns and began to produce its own porcelain. Its porcelain not only absorbed the advantages of the Central Plains region, but also had the characteristics of its own nation, such as honesty and simplicity, forming unique Xixia porcelain.
Zhuang Rui suspected that the porcelain he saw at this moment was made by the Xixia people, because Genghis Khan died during the Western Expedition to Xixia, and it was reasonable for a large number of Xixia sacrifices to be found in his tomb.
In this way, those indecipherable characters also have their origins. You must know that the Xixia script used by the Xixia Dynasty had become a dead script that no one knew by the Ming Dynasty after the fall of the Xixia Dynasty.
Although later generations have inferred some meanings of Xixia characters based on some Xixia relics, today, there are very few people studying Xixia characters in China, and I am afraid they don’t even have a single hand.
"Grandma, this is another discovery that can shock the archaeological world, and can also unravel the reasons for the rise and fall of a dynasty..."
The relics left over from Xixia are no more than those from the Yuan Dynasty, and there are even fewer valuable ones. These written materials are enough to solve many mysteries for historians.
Zhuang Rui looked at the items in the room, shook his head helplessly, resisted the urge to explore the tomb in detail, and turned his gaze away.
After leaving this tomb, Zhuang Rui discovered three more burial pits. One of them was filled with the bones of cattle and sheep, while the other two burial pits were filled with living people.
Zhuang Rui could tell from the material of their clothes and the degree of wear on their teeth that these were young women.
"There were three thousand beauties in life, and they will be accompanied by beauty after death. No wonder everyone in the world wants to be emperor..."
Zhuang Rui sighed secretly, the status of women in ancient times was extremely low, especially when Mongolia was not yet unified, the status of women was not much higher than that of cattle and sheep. It was not until Genghis Khan unified the prairie that the status of women improved.
This Mongolian Khan, who single-handedly conquered China's largest territory, was robbed of his wife when he was young and gave birth to a child. However, this did not prevent the woman from giving birth to Temujin like a cub.
three sons.
…
When the morning star appeared over the prairie, the sky was already misty and bright. Zhuang Rui rubbed his aching eyes and rubbed his face vigorously.
After a night of general investigation, Zhuang Rui took a look at the entire tomb structure. Although he didn't sleep a wink all night, the exploration of history filled Zhuang Rui's heart with excitement.
Unlike the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, which directly hollowed out the ground of a mountain, Genghis Khan's underground palace made full use of complex underground caves. Although the number of people building the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was definitely not as large as that of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, its scale was by no means as large as the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
under.
Of course, the number of funerary objects in this mausoleum is far less than that of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Maybe Mongolia's ceramics firing technology was not yet developed at that time, or maybe Genghis Khan did not go to the underworld with thousands of troops to conquer the world.
idea.
Therefore, apart from the looted funerary objects, there are very few handicrafts made by Mongolia themselves. In the era of Genghis Khan, Yuan blue and white had not yet come out.
However, in terms of the quality of these burial objects, Zhuang Rui judged that they were even better than the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. After all, after one or two thousand years of development, by the end of the Song Dynasty, its ancient works of art had reached their peak.
.
Not to mention the most exquisite porcelain of the Song Dynasty, even Europe at that time also had many exquisite works of art. Zhuang Rui even found two golden masks with Egyptian colors in a tomb. It is not known where Genghis Khan came from.
Robbed from the country.
Coupled with the "Jade Seal of the State" which was written by Qin Shihuang, so in terms of the preciousness of the burial objects alone, the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan exceeds the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
"Alas, no matter how good the thing is, it will never see the light of day..."
At this moment, Zhuang Rui wished that a hand could grow out of his eyes and take out the "Jade Seal of the Nation" from the coffin. It was really difficult to pull it out just by looking at it.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhuang Rui enlarged the scope of the spiritual energy survey. He was going to make a final check to see if there were any missing tombs, and then withdraw the spiritual energy to end this archaeological experiment that was destined to be fruitless.
"Eh? Why is there an underground river behind this tomb? No, there's something weird..."
When Zhuang Rui expanded the scope of his spiritual energy search, he suddenly discovered that an underground river that existed above the mausoleum appeared more than thirty meters above and behind a burial pit.
