I don’t agree with Uncle Liao’s statement. In the past, people with wealth and status all wanted their bones to be intact after death. They treated death as if they were alive. They hoped to enjoy the glory and wealth in their entirety after going to another world. Therefore, most of them
Some of them are buried.
Tell everyone to step back, I plan to open the coffin and take a look.
Grave robbers have skills in opening coffins. If they encounter a large wooden coffin (more than 5 tons), they usually use a saw (now a chainsaw) to cut a neat opening in the coffin, and then poke their head into the coffin to take a look.
Take whatever is valuable.
The experience of most people in the industry is that after a wooden coffin has been stored for hundreds of years, if it is not damaged and the middle part of the coffin lid is the most vulnerable, they will choose this place to smash the coffin to pieces. It is important to act quickly.
If it were to be handled by an archaeological team, they would do it very slowly and carefully. They would brush it with a small brush until it was clean, then take photos, measure the dimensions, draw a sketch, make a mold, and finally open the entire coffin.
If you encounter a large coffin of the size of a prince, the whole coffin will be lifted out and transported to the laboratory separately. For example, for Liu He's coffin, three cranes were dispatched, and a two-kilometer slide was paved with wooden squares. Just open the coffin and open it.
More than half a year.
Archaeologists hate tomb robbers, and it is also because of this destructive nature. In order to quickly obtain the funerary objects, they used chainsaws and axes to smash the coffins to pieces. For this, I can only say sorry.
I used the shovel as an axe, and hit the middle of the small coffin hard. Suddenly, water began to gush out from the lid of the coffin. It was very turbid and black water. It shocked everyone. No one expected it.
Why is there suddenly water in the coffin?
It's strange. The other places are very dry. I didn't see the funerary objects soaked in water. In addition, there are no water lines on the brick walls of the surrounding tomb. Why is there so much water in the coffin.
After waiting for a few minutes, the water flowing out of the small coffin became smaller and smaller. I boldly opened the lid of the coffin and found that there was still half of the water in the coffin. The water was turbid and I could see a lot of floating objects like sand.
"I can't see clearly. Are the funerary objects soaked in the water?" Dou Sprout couldn't help it and said, "Let me touch it to see if there is anything there."
Looking at the turbid muddy water in the coffin, I frowned and said, be careful.
"There's nothing there. There is an underground water salt lake nearby. It's just underground water if it's not kept intact. What are you afraid of? Are there fish in the water?" Dou Sprout rolled up his sleeves, lay down and reached into the water, and began to touch.
"What is this?"
He quickly took out something. I saw that it was two copper coins. They were Hongwu Tongbao copper coins. They were called Hongwu Ji Bureau famous coins in the antique shop. One was worth three laurels and the other was folded five and was ten. These two copper coins had the words
It's clear and has some rust, so it's not worth much money.
Douyazai fished out more than a dozen Hongwu Tongbao from the water, some big and some small. He immediately shouted: "Come and help, there must be something else."
Then several of us gathered around the coffin and groped around at the bottom of the coffin. This was coffin bottom fishing.
"Whose hand is this?"
Brother Yu frowned and said, "What are you doing with my hands?"
I was busy letting go again.
In addition to copper coins, we began to fish out things one after another. Xiaoxuan fished out a round iron powder box, and Brother Yu fished out several pieces of jade. I also gained something. I took out a whiteboard the size of a mobile phone.
There are calligraphy on the whiteboard. The writing can no longer be seen clearly due to blisters. It should be made of cow bones. People in the industry call this whiteboard, but it should actually be called "dispatch book". Its function is to record the types of funerary objects.
The quantity is probably similar to the record books used by people nowadays to hold weddings, recording who and how many gifts were given.
Only Liao Xiaomi found nothing with his hands empty. He seemed to be afraid, so he touched things in a small area.
Dou Sprout complained: "What are you doing? You are washing your hands there, you are such a waste."
He just finished speaking.
Suddenly, Xiaomi made a splash and fished out a large square box from the head of the coffin.
The box was wet and covered with black mud.
This thing is bigger than what everyone has fished out.
