As we all know, China has a long history of 5,000 years. Tomb culture is one of these historical cultures. The ancients attached great importance to their own affairs. Usually, they will arrange the location of the mausoleum and the number and types of funerary objects before they die. After years of investigation, archaeologists in China have found that many valuable cultural relics are often unearthed in ancient tombs. Today, in the ancient tomb to be introduced to you, a letter called "Letter to the Earth" was unearthed, which surprised archaeologists.

Ancient Tomb Found in Hubei Province-Phoenix Mountain 168

This ancient tomb is located in Fenghuang Mountain, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province. In 278 BC, Tian Lei led an army to capture the capital of Chu. Since then, it has been in ruins. But later it became the graveyard of the nobles in Qin and Han Dynasties. In 1950s, archaeologists in China discovered this area and investigated many ancient tombs with extraordinary value. In order to protect ancient tombs and their cultural relics, China has protected this area. It was not until 1975 that China began to excavate the ancient tomb of Fenghuang Mountain.

Among the numerous ancient tombs, Phoenix Mountain 168 is extremely eye-catching. It turned out that experts found a well-preserved body from this vertical tomb. According to expert investigation, the muscle tissue of the corpse is still elastic, the internal organs are also intact, and even the joints of limbs can move. Such a great anti-corruption technology has shocked many experts. It is worth mentioning that this ancient tomb lived in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.

"Narrative Book" in the Ancient Tomb

In addition, archaeologists also found an interesting thing in the tomb-"underground book". According to the records, the letter to the ground is modeled after the ancient migration documents, and it is a letter prepared by the ancients to introduce themselves to the prince. In the ancient tomb of Fenghuang Mountain 168, there is such a passage:

"Thirteen years in Chen Geng. Jiangling Cheng dared to tell the underground: Shiyang Wufu: (written by the doctor) So he told himself that he had 28 people, including Da Nuliang, 18 people, including pretty maid Yi, two chariots, one or two ox carts, four horses, two mares and four horses. Can make the officials engage, dare to tell the Lord. "

To put it simply, the owner of the tomb hopes that Yan can attend and give him an official position. This book is 23.2 cm long, 4 cm wide and only 0.3 cm thick. It is located in the middle of the wing and is a bamboo raft.

There are 46 wooden maids in the tomb, including 18 maids and 28 male maids. Two sightseeing bus and 46 wooden maids built a beautiful motorcade for the tomb owner. At the same time, along with the bamboo slips, there are many precious funerary objects, such as tiger headrests, inkstones, three-fish-ear cups, and agricultural products such as dates and chestnuts.

Identify the owner of the tomb

Although it is a common thing in ancient times, it is extremely rare in all ancient tombs unearthed at present. Therefore, after the archaeologists found this letter, they felt a little surprised. After learning the contents of the letter, everyone felt very funny. Therefore, experts identified the owner of the tomb. He is a five-person named Sui who lives in the Western Han Dynasty. His position belongs to the middle-class aristocrat, so the value of the funerary objects is extremely high. It is worth mentioning that since he is a noble, he was also a man who enjoyed all the splendor when he was alive.

What this letter means to this land.

As mentioned earlier, the ancients in our country attached great importance to their own affairs. In order to highlight their status, many dignitaries will build tombs very luxuriously and expensively. The owner of tomb 168 unearthed in Fenghuang Mountain, Hubei Province obviously has the same idea. He not only showed his position with a lot of precious funerary objects, but also wrote to Rebecca, hoping to continue his experience as an official in the underworld. According to the data, storytelling was very popular in Qin and Han dynasties, and even became a custom for a time. However, such straightforward books as the tomb owner of 168 are rare, so experts are a little surprised after seeing the content. From this point of view, the tomb owner often used this method to seek official positions before his death, so he would put his ambitions out clearly.

But what is surprising is the wisdom of ancient China people. More than 2000 years ago, they were able to preserve the body so completely. This is indeed an incredible thing. It can be seen that the ancient people of our country did have extraordinary wisdom. However, this book is ridiculous. With the present technology, everyone knows that there is no Rebecca. It seems that the feudal superstition of ancient people is very serious. In today's view, the existence of articles like "Landing Book" is undoubtedly very funny. But in the eyes of the ancients, this is a very serious matter. This also reminds everyone that superstition is not desirable, and sometimes it will make jokes.
