Master Archaeologist
Chapter 170 Dude, eat a 1-color medicine stone?
Chapter 170 Dude, eat a five-color medicine stone cutting?
"Come, come, some experts from the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, come to visit."
With a smile all over his face, Fu Pu led Professor Li, Kong Jianwen, and Chen Han into the west ear room.
After ten days of cleaning, the original 60-centimeter-thick funerary objects in the west ear room were basically emptied.
The crude set of aerial work tools was also disassembled.
Fu Pu conveniently invited them into the west ear room.
"It's really troublesome for you to keep you waiting for a few days."
"There is no way. There are really too many funerary objects in the west ear room. We have to do our best to clean them up, so we can clean them up within ten days."
Fu Pu smiled and exchanged greetings with Professor Li.
He invited a group of people from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences this time, mainly because he hoped that a few experienced experts could help some unrecognizable cultural relics to be apprehended.
It is too common for cultural relics excavated by archaeology to be unrecognizable.
It's just that the Guangzhou Institute of Archaeology is a local archaeological institute after all. In terms of eyesight, it is indeed not as good as experts from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Fu Pu thought that some items they couldn't recognize, maybe Professor Li and others could recognize them.
In addition, the Guangzhou Institute also found something related to this tomb that may be related to the identity of the owner of the tomb. Fu Pu also hopes to communicate with his colleagues in the Academy of Social Sciences.
After all, everyone will open the main tomb together.
"In addition to the common gold, silver, bronze, jade, and lacquered wood wares, we also found some cultural relics made of other materials in the west ear room."
"Most of it was ivory."
"There are bundles of five tusks of unprocessed elephant tusks, but they have decayed into small pieces."
"There are also three pieces depicting ivory goblets, ivory counters, and ivory carved lacquer."
"In addition, there are some minerals of unknown significance, medicinal materials that are not easy to distinguish, and some important sealing mud."
Listening to Fu Pu's introduction, Chen Han kept nodding aside.
It is not uncommon to find ivory in the tombs of Nanyue kings.
The Chinese people were not unfamiliar with elephants in BC.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Shi Xie, who owned Jiaozhou, gave Sun Quan an elephant, and later Sun Quan gave an elephant to Cao Cao.
Count further.
In the era of Emperor Huangdi and Yandi, elephants were still running in the Yellow River Basin in the Central Plains.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the elephants retreated to the Yangtze River Valley for a generation, and the Chu State and the Lingnan area were still running elephants.
During the Han Dynasty, the habitat of elephants gradually shrank to parts of Lingnan and Southwest.
At this time, Lingnan became an ivory distribution center.
These ivory were first sold to the Ba and Shu counties of the Western Han Dynasty, and then traded with various primitive tribes in Southeast Asia.
Bao Buqi was also brought to the Middle East by foreign sea merchants.
It should not be sold to India, because there are more elephants in India.
Therefore, it is very normal for the king of Nanyue to use some ivory products.
These ivory products are not the point.
Fu Pu just led everyone to look at it for a few moments, then skipped all these appearances, and came to the bottom of the south wall on the west side of the ear room.
"Gentlemen, look."
Fu Pu pointed to the five piles of "ores" of different colors that were obviously artificially separated underground, and said somewhat puzzled: "These five piles of ores were placed under the south wall in an orderly manner."
"We can only tell that this green pile should be turquoise."
"There's also this pile of purple ones, which should be amethyst, so it's easy to recognize."
"I don't know what the other three ores are."
"And the strangest thing is, why did the owner of the tomb place five kinds of ores in the funeral objects?"
"In my impression, people in the Western Han Dynasty didn't have the custom of burying ore?"
Five piles of ore are light yellow, dark yellowish reddish, reddish red, green, and purple.
Among them, the purple one is amethyst, which is the most recognizable.
The green one is turquoise, which is also common in tombs, but most of them are made into ornaments, not such primitive minerals.
The remaining three minerals are relatively difficult to recognize.
I am mainly engaged in archaeology, and I have never studied mineral research, so I can recognize what these are by their colors.
In fact, Fu Pu has a better way to identify these minerals.
Just take a sample and take it to the Mineral Research Institute for an appraisal.
However, he had a certain amount of heart in his heart, the heart of competing with the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.
After all, the tomb of the Nanyue King was a project in Guangzhou, and Fu Pu felt somewhat resentful that the people from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences were airborne.
So he took advantage of the topic to play one or two, and invited Professor Li and several people on the grounds that he didn't understand it, hoping that they could help answer the question.
In fact, he simply wanted to give Professor Li and Chen Han a little bit of a blow to their power.
Everyone is engaged in archaeology, there is no reason why we don't know about minerals, people at the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences know.
If the people from the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences can't recognize it, doesn't that mean that the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Social Sciences is nothing special!
Unfortunately, Fu Pu's calculation can be said to be wrong.
Professor Li squatted down, randomly selected a pile of light yellow ore from the five piles of ore, picked a small one at random, pinched it with his index finger and thumb, and observed it carefully.
"Pale yellow."
"Could it be sulfur?"
Without much thought, he picked up the crimson ore again and said with certainty, "This is ocher. I saw it at the School of Mineral Resources, Academy of Social Sciences."
"Then the last one, I guess it should be realgar."
"Orange-red minerals are quite rare, and in the Western Han Dynasty, realgar was the only thing that could be valued."
"Regard can be used to make arsenic, which is the number one poison in ancient times!"
Sulfur, ochre, realgar, these three minerals have been used by the Chinese civilization for a long time.
Hearing Professor Li's distinction, Chen Han frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "Professor Li, is this the five-color medicine stone?"
"No, Shi Hanzhong said that the "five stones" refer to five kinds of purple quartzite, white quartzite, red stone fat, stalactite and sulfur."
"There's only sulfur here."
Five stones are one of the categories of ancient immortal food.
In fact, it was a scam created by the alchemists of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the famous "elixir of longevity".
The pursuit of elixir in ancient times began with Qin Shihuang, reached its peak in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and continued to be popular until the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shaojun and Luan Da, who believed in alchemists, burned and refined minerals such as gold and stone, which were called stone medicine, also known as Wushi powder.
The upper nobles also took it one after another, and it became a fashion for a while.
After all, what the emperor believed, how could the nobles not believe it?
It was also from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties that alchemists and Taoists flourished and vigorously developed the "stone medicine technique", and finally formed the so-called alchemy technique of Taoism, the technique of outer alchemy.
These Taoist priests "alchemy" are not like in the novels of cultivating immortals, they use precious medicinal materials to make alchemy, they are all "stone medicines" that are rubbed out of colorful minerals!
The most amazing thing is that these alchemists did not intend to deceive the emperor.
Oh, maybe the Taoist priests invited by Emperor Jiajing later were specifically planning to cheat the emperor.
But the alchemists in the Qin and Han Dynasties really thought they could make the elixir of life!
They not only practiced it by themselves, but also tested the medicine by themselves, and even ate it with great joy!
I don't know how many alchemists and Taoist priests took the "stone medicine" made of these minerals for a long time, and then the heavy metal content in the body exceeded the standard and died.
Of course, people will definitely not think that this is because the heavy metal content exceeds the standard, but because he took too much medicine and finally abandoned his body and became a fairy!
But everything has good and bad. The chemistry of ancient China was researched by these alchemists and Taoists.
Including the later gunpowder, it was also when Taoist priests made alchemy, when they used sulfur, they were fried too much in the fryer, so gunpowder was developed.
Strictly speaking, gunpowder, one of China's four great inventions, is actually just an accessory produced when refining the "elixir of life".
And this trend of taking "five stone powder" for longevity developed to its peak during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Up to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself, down to nobles at all levels such as princes, princes, and Guanneihou, they ate "five stone powder" at home when they had nothing to do.
The bones of many nobles in the Western Han Dynasty have been buried underground for 2000 years, and the heavy metal content is still seriously exceeding the standard.
It can be seen how popular it was to eat Wushi powder at that time.
Zhao Hu happened to be the monarch of the Nanyue Kingdom during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is very normal for him to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or to accept the social ethos of seeking longevity in the Western Han Dynasty.
Which monarch doesn't want to live forever, hold power forever, and rule his country?
What, can you live longer if you eat five stone powder?
eat!Eat it!
