After walking like this for a while, a 60-degree downhill section appeared in front of me, and there were actually steps!
My heart skipped a beat.
I am familiar with this kind of 60-degree slope! This is a fucking tomb passage!
Thinking about the groove in the corner I saw before, I was surprised and suspicious.
That's the drainage ditch of the ancient tomb!
This place is a large tomb of the Western Han Dynasty!
I was startled, and I kept feeling something was wrong after I came in. Han tombs were all dug out of the mountain. I should have thought of this a long time ago!
Snake Girl was also surprised. She said she didn't expect there were steps in the cave.
My mind was spinning, this is so fucking weird.
If it is a large tomb of the Western Han Dynasty! Then this kind of sloping tomb passage should be buried in rammed earth, instead of being so exposed. There is only one explanation for this phenomenon! It is that the rammed earth was cleared before, and that is not a small amount.
The rammed soil was definitely cleaned up by a group of people.
"Let's go, what are you doing standing around? Go down and take a look."
I frowned and said, "Don't panic, let me think about it, this is wrong."
Before entering, the top of the cave was flat and there were no tombs.
I closed my eyes and a structural diagram emerged in my mind.
The large tombs of the Han Dynasty were all "cutting into the mountain to hide the tomb" regardless of construction costs. After going down the slope of the tomb, there should be a "corridor". On the left side of the corridor is the south ear chamber. For the sake of symmetry, there should be a north ear chamber to the north.
If I continue walking forward from the middle, it should be the tomb gate.
Passing through the tomb door is a square middle chamber. Judging from the height of the tomb, there should be washrooms and cloakrooms on both sides of the middle chamber.
Through the middle room, there may be another door.
Open this door and enter the main tomb chamber. The main tomb chamber of Han tombs is special. If it is a prince-level tomb, the main tomb chamber is usually a giant wooden coffin, and all the funerary objects are concentrated in the coffin.
"Coffin" and "coffin" are not the same thing. The latter is often more than ten times or even dozens of times larger than the former. Experienced tomb robbers who dig holes will land directly in the middle of the coffin, and then cut a hole.
People get in and get things.
"Hello? Hello! What are you thinking about?"
Was woken up.
I opened my eyes, and the plan structure diagram that appeared in my mind disappeared little by little.
"I didn't think anything of it. This must be an ancient tomb. Don't wander around after you get down there." I said.
"Ancient tomb?"
Looking at her expression, she was also very surprised.
I nodded and stepped down the steps.
After going down, it was exactly as I thought. There were corridors in darkness on the left and right sides. A strong flashlight could reach the end, and the visual inspection was about thirty meters.
I found a large rotten wooden board scattered on the ground and a much smaller wooden board, so I walked over to take a look.
"What is this?" Snake Girl asked.
I frowned and said, "The big one is the coffin board, and the small one is probably the door grille."
"Maybe water entered the cave before and was washed out. This tomb must have been stolen."
Based on the length of this board, I infer that the former main tomb chamber should have had three layers of coffin cover boards, with nine pieces per layer and each weighing about a ton. This was the standard "three-nine-one" system of the Western Han Dynasty.
When the cover of the coffin is opened, there is a "coffin tomb chamber" where the owner of the tomb lies in the middle, surrounded by large and small side compartments.
The one closest to the head of the tomb owner is the "head compartment". The head compartment is the fattest and has the most burial objects, followed by the "foot compartment, the south compartment, and the north compartment." The west side is usually empty and does not contain anything. The ancients believed that that direction
It leads to the Western Paradise, so it must be empty and cannot be blocked.
Between these "chambers", which can also be regarded as between the outer coffin and the inner coffin, there is something called a "gate". There will be words written on the gate, usually "Nan Yi".
, the word "北二" is used to help the family of the tomb owner know the direction.
Because the deceased had already decided before he was alive, pots and pans should be placed on "South One", grains should be placed on "North Two", and gold, silver and jade should be placed on "North Three". They should not be thrown around and there are rules.
The coffin boards and door grilles were all found in the corridor, and 10,000 percent were stolen.
I whispered: "Let's speak in a lower voice. Maybe July Crawling will hide in a certain ear room, so as not to alert others."
I asked her to turn off the flashlight and walked forward in the dark.
In the dark, I arrived outside an attic room.
We cooperated, she suddenly turned on the flashlight, and I immediately picked up the shotgun.
