Master Archaeologist

Chapter 199 Open a series of video pits!
When the cleaning work of the back storage room and the east and west side rooms has gradually come to an end, the archaeological excavation work of this Nanyue king's tomb is basically coming to an end.

Generally speaking, this tomb is the leading tomb in the Lingnan area, and it is of great historical significance.

The Nanyue Kingdom, which is only seen in history books but has no actual noble tombs unearthed, has finally become a truly undeniable historical fact.

Although, before the tomb of the Nanyue King was discovered, the academic circles did not deny the idea of ​​the Nanyue Kingdom, and even Vietnam had always wanted to make Zhao Tuo his ancestor.

However, with the evidence of unearthed objects, it is undoubtedly more in line with the double evidence of Chinese archaeology, that is, the rigor of mutual verification between historical books and unearthed cultural relics.

From October, it has been busy until almost December.

The clean-up of the Nanyue king's tomb has officially come to an end.

As for the entire tomb, more than 1000 cultural relics were unearthed!

The more than 1000 items here refer to items that are not repeated!

Arrowheads, daggers, halberds, and swords made by those standards are not counted repeatedly.

Because there are too many of these weapons, there are thousands of arrow clusters alone, plus other weapons, there must be nearly [-] pieces.

Apart from these weapons, the remaining cultural relics include jade, stone, bronze, pottery, ivory, gold and silver wares of different carving styles, totaling more than [-] pieces.

One or two hundred of the most exquisite cultural relics were picked out of them, together with the tomb owner's silk jade clothes and Emperor Wen's seal, it was enough to support the size of a local museum.

The Guangzhou government also immediately launched the project of the cultural base of Nanyue Kingdom. It is estimated that it will take three years to build a huge cultural base around this tomb.

Focusing on the core Nanyue Kingdom Museum, the entire original Xianggang area will be covered!
And this Nanyue Kingdom Museum will be built directly above this tomb, and this tomb will be used as an exhibition area on the basement level.

This tomb of the Nanyue Kingdom is really suitable for exhibition.

Because the entire tomb is made of stones, after all the cultural relics have been cleaned up, a complete tomb can still be preserved.

Just this burial chamber of more than 2000 square meters is enough for tourists to visit. It was once the burial system of the monarch of South Vietnam [-] years ago!
This has to be put to good use!
But all of this has nothing to do with Chen Han and the others.

After completing the excavation work, they can return to the capital for the time being.

However, the end of the on-site excavation work does not mean that the work related to the tomb of the Nanyue Kingdom is also over.

In fact, after they return to the Academy of Social Sciences, they still need to write a report.

There are seven tombs in this tomb, and more than 1000 cultural relics were unearthed. It may take several months to write the excavation report alone.

In addition, according to the requirements, these cultural relics must be hand-painted one by one and submitted to the excavation report together.

Just painting these cultural relics well is estimated to be a huge project.

Therefore, although the excavation work is over, it is estimated that it will be a year before the excavation report is released and published.

Relatively speaking, the thesis is better to write.

The three papers written by Chen Han in the last project, which is the Zeng Guo Advanced Tombs Project, were all included after submission.

Two articles were included in "Han River Archaeology", and the most important one [The Kingdoms of the Princes Excavated from the Underground: A Study of Zeng Guo's Lineage] was directly published in the journal "Archaeology".

The journal "Archaeology" is the top and most important academic journal of archaeology in China.

This paper can be published on "Archaeology", in fact, it is basically confirmed that Chen Han's doctoral degree is no problem.

Now let's see Kong Jianwen, when is he going to graduate.

But according to Kong Jianwen, he intends to suppress Chen Han for another year.

This year is his second Ph. D., and next year is his third Ph.D.

Kong Jianwen plans to give him a Ph.D. degree next year, and next year, the Academy of Social Sciences will expand, and then let Chen Han join the Academy of Social Sciences.

Zhuang Yunpeng was actually postponed by Kong Jianwen for one year because of this.

After finishing the excavation of the Nanyue Kingdom Tomb and returning to the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, the first thing Chen Han wanted to do was not to make drawings of the unearthed cultural relics with Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya.

Instead, deal with Wei Sisi to deal with the accumulation of his self-media accounts.

During the three months of participating in the archaeological excavation work in Guangzhou, Chen Han really had no extra experience, so he continued to operate his own media account.

Wei Sisi was in charge of all the work in this area.

Usually every night, Wei Sisi sends questions from netizens he has selected, as well as popular archaeological videos on Douyin that he has collected, to Chen Han.

Then Chen Han took the time to answer some of the questions, recorded some audios of the Douyin archaeological video to refute the rumors, and sent them to Wei Sisi.

She then matched the audio with the picture, edited it into a video, and posted it on the Internet.

And use Chen Han's account to reply to some private messages and Aite.

However, doing so alone is not enough.

Chen Han's appearance has always been an important part of the account "Mr. Chen who loves archeology".

It has been a long time since he has appeared on camera to record a video, and it is necessary to do some on-camera shooting.

This time, after Chen Han completed the excavation of the Nanyue National Tomb, Wei Sisi immediately approached him, planning to shoot several archaeological popular science videos for him.

To maintain the popularity of self-media, Chen Han has to sacrifice his hue regularly, so that the public will not forget him.

The work of archaeological science popularization from the media is obviously a very important task of the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences.

Therefore, Chen Han can also use this to temporarily get rid of the boring, troublesome and boring work of drawing cultural relics.

This made him quite happy.

Shoot archaeological science videos, and copy and draw photos of cultural relics excavated from the Nanyue Kingdom Tomb in the office.

He definitely chose the former.

So, under Wei Sisi's arrangement.

Teacher Chen, who had disappeared from the eyes of netizens for three or four months, reappeared again.

A series of popular science videos related to Zeng Guo's archaeology, such as "Science Popularization of Zeng Guo's Archeology", "50 Years of Zeng Guo's Archaeology", "Zeng Sui's Mystery That Plagued the Archaeological World", etc., are constantly emerging on Chen Han's self-media account.

Zeng Guo's archeology is a very interesting topic.

As the only vassal state in China that relied solely on archaeology to sort out and grasp the inheritance of the entire country's lineage, Zeng Guo's position in Chinese archeology is unique.

Even among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, in the archaeological world, none of the relatively clear tombs of the monarch's lineage have been unearthed.

In most of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, only sporadic parts of the tombs of the monarchs have been found.

Only Zeng Guo, from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zeng Houjian, who was appointed at the beginning, to Zeng Hou Bing, who was close to the demise of Zeng Guo in the middle of the Warring States Period, spanned the four eras of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the two weeks of communication, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period. All the king's tombs have been discovered!

This is a major achievement of Chinese archaeology!
But there are too many things to go into detail.

Enough for Chen Han to start a series of videos!
