From night to around 8 o'clock in the morning, two more coffins were unearthed on the left and right sides of the first black coffin.
The three coffins were placed side by side, about 1.5 meters apart from each other. Rotten hemp ropes were found in the soil. They could not be picked up and would break when touched.
We speculate that during ancient burials, these three coffins were connected to each other with ropes.
"Triple thin coffin burial."
I have never heard of this strange burial method, and this is the first time I have seen it.
In the morning, a ray of sunlight hit the bottom of the pit and happened to shine on the coffin in the middle.
I don’t know how many years it has been buried in Mang Mountain. This is called the real "reappearance of the sun".
Robbery pit tombs are different from brick chamber tombs or stone chamber tombs, because the funerary objects and coffins are scattered in the soil. If you want to take out the things, you can only dig up the soil.
The dug hole is not very big when viewed from above, but becomes larger when you come down, like a sweet potato cellar.
I wonder if there is such a hole in your hometown?
On the mountain or halfway up the mountain, you suddenly see a cave entrance. The entrance is not big, but there is a lot of space after entering.
Even the elderly people in the village don't know what this kind of hole is for. It seems like it appeared out of thin air on one day. Most of the holes are empty, and in some cases, some scattered bones can be seen.
In fact, the holes you see are most likely "robbery holes in ancient tombs." It was possible before the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period.
"Give me the crowbar, damn! Why is it so tight!" Douyazai was sweating profusely. He wanted to forcefully pry open the coffin lid!
Brother Yu lit three cigarettes and buried them in the open space in front of the coffin. He clasped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, you three. In order to live, we ask for a little money. Don't mind."
I said: "Don't pay tribute to Brother Yu there, you are strong, come here and help."
"coming!"
Put the tip of the crowbar along the seam of the coffin and hit it with a rock. The three of us worked together.
"one two three!"
"rise!"
"It's open, it's open!"
Just hear a squeak.
The coffin lid was lifted open by a crowbar. Yuan Bao saw this and quickly stuffed a stone into the coffin to support it.
Pulling out the crowbar, I'm ready to take a look.
He grabbed my head and said, "Wait a minute, run through the air, don't you smell anything?"
After sniffing, I can indeed smell a smell. We call this smell "rotten coffin smell".
Smelly, but not too smelly, I'm trying to think of how to describe it... By the way, it's like spoiled hard-boiled eggs in the summer, the smell is overpowering.
These three coffins are very narrow, and a fat person cannot lie in them. They are different in size from the coffins I have seen before, and they do not comply with ancient regulations.
"The coffins in the world are seven feet three and six and a half feet long, and all the people in the world are buried."
It used to be said that a man of seven feet would live in a coffin after death. The extra "three" inches were used to place some burial objects.
Of the three black coffins excavated, the middle one is fine, but the coffins on the left and right sides are obviously smaller, about four or five feet in length, and they feel like they belong to a child.
The ventilation lasted for more than half an hour, and I said it was almost done, shall we do it?
