Master Archaeologist

Chapter 254
It can be seen that the main chamber of Haihunhou's tomb is well protected.

why?
Because when preparing to lift the wooden roof of the main tomb, it can be seen that all of these wooden roofs have turned black.

Of course, this is not the blackness of decayed wood, but a layer of charcoal accumulated on the top of the main tomb, because after a long period of burial, these charcoals have stained the wooden roof black.

People in the Western Han Dynasty already knew how to protect the corpses in the tombs.

Charcoal and green plaster mud are all used to isolate the outside air from entering the tomb.

In the Mawangdui Han Tomb, Mr. Sui's tomb, there are these things in the seal.

The green paste mud is very fine, which can effectively prevent air from entering the tomb, while the charcoal underneath is a kind of thing that can absorb oxygen.

Seeing these seals also made Chen Han and the others feel a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.

Haihunhou Liu He, will his body not rot for 2000 years like Mrs. Xin Zhui and Mr. Sui?

Judging from the current situation, this tomb of Marquis Haihun is very similar to the two tombs where non-rotten corpses were unearthed!
All of them have taken effective anaerobic measures, and during the years of burial, they have been in a humid environment for a long time and have been soaked in groundwater for a long time.

Anaerobic + groundwater immersion.

These two points are undoubtedly in line with the current preservation standards for "wet corpses".

At least the few non-decomposed wet corpses were all in such an environment when they were unearthed.

Maybe, the body of Haihunhou, who also fits this kind of environment, didn't rot?
Many archaeologists with more flexible brains thought of this and secretly looked forward to it.

Soon, though, they won't have time to look forward to that.

Because after the wooden roof was hoisted by a large machine, the situation in the main tomb was revealed to everyone.

And the condition of the main tomb is very special!
"This is.?"

"Imitate the bedroom before you were alive, and make an inner room and an outer room?"

"Hey, this is the first time in the history of Han tomb archaeology, right?"

"There is no yellow sausage problem, which is reasonable, but it is a pity."

Several leaders stood on a platform built of steel, overlooking the situation in the main tomb from top to bottom, each sighing.

The situation in the main tomb is indeed somewhat special.

It is different from the main tomb that is generally the same as a whole.

The interior of the main tomb of Haihunhou was divided into left and right halves.

In the left half of the compartment, there are piles of all kinds of funerary objects, which is called "golden and magnificent"!
In the right half of the compartment, in the upper right corner, lies a very large coffin, and the rest are still funerary objects.

Such a layout obviously imitated Haihunhou's residence during his lifetime.

In ancient high-end residences, the master bedroom is generally divided into an inner room and an outer room. The inner room is the place where the master sleeps, and the outer room is where the servants usually rest.

In the middle of the night, if the master wants to get up, or if he is thirsty, whatever he wants to do, he only needs to shout, and the maid outside will solve it immediately.

Of course, generally this kind of maid also has the duty of sleeping with the master, and even brings hot water to wipe the master's body after the master has finished intercourse.

Anyway, in a word, the evil nobles enjoy it!

However, not everyone thinks so.

A researcher from the Nanchang Institute of Archaeology looked at the situation of the main tomb in detail, and said uncertainly: "Is this the kind of partition between the inside and the outside of the bedroom?"

"It's the west hall and bedroom."

"According to the residential structure of the entire tomb, it can be seen that this tomb has restored the original style of a noble residence in the Western Han Dynasty."

"On both sides of the front corridor, there are chariot and horse warehouses. In the Western Han Dynasty, noble chariots and horses were indeed kept around the door."

"After entering again, it is the main tomb, so the main tomb can be understood as the location of the main hall."

"The one on the outside should be the living room where the master receives guests, that is, the west hall, and the one on the inside is the master's bedroom."

"It's like the difference between the front hall and the apse in a royal palace."

"The storage rooms on the left and right are the storerooms of the owner, and the same goes for the back storage room."

His statement was recognized by many on-site archaeologists, and Chen Han also nodded secretly in his heart.

Judging from the overall structure of the tomb, his guess is more reasonable.

However, these are actually trivial things, at least they will not affect the development of archaeological work.

What made everyone even more surprised was that Liu He didn't use yellow intestines.

Logically speaking, as a high-ranking aristocrat who had been a vassal king and an emperor during his lifetime.

Liu He should be qualified to ask Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to make a special decree to bestow yellow intestines.

After all, the light of death is extinguished, and after Liu He's death, he no longer poses a threat to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

With the wiseness of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, since Liu He's "word-of-mouth" during his lifetime has no way to reverse, he is destined to be a typical example of a foolish emperor.

At least in the matter of his death, make up for it and give it a little vanity.

After all, in the Han Dynasty, death was like life, and the afterlife was also very important.

It would also be a kind of comfort to Liu He if he could be given yellow intestines and jade clothes.

Besides, Liu He was once the king of Changyi after all.

In the history of the Western Han Dynasty, except for committing major crimes against the sky, such as treason, adultery, incest and other crimes, other princes and kings, even sinful kings, can also use yellow intestines to make money.

Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, found out about cursing Emperor Xuan, Liu Xu committed suicide, and the feudal kingdom was abolished.

But he used both the yellow intestines and the jade clothes!

Although this Liu He died as the Marquis of Haihun in the end, he was a relative of the Liu family who was closer in blood to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Why should he be treated like a yellow sausage?

However, in the main tomb, no yellow sausages were found, only a very ordinary coffin.

"No, Liu He has reserved a space for himself to put the yellow sausages in it!"

Kong Jianwen frowned, stretched out his hand to measure the size of the main tomb, and said, "This main tomb should be built according to the specifications of the yellow sausages. The length and width are the standard yellow sausages."

"But I don't know why, after Liu He was buried in the end, he didn't use yellow intestines!"

"Perhaps, Liu He thought that after his death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty would give him a decree to use Huangchang Tikuo, so the tomb was built according to this scale."

"But after his death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty didn't say anything, and even Haihunhou was quickly abolished."

"So much so that Liu He didn't wait for the yellow intestines to come together, so he could only be buried in a hurry."

"Maybe he didn't expect that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who has always been wise, would be so cruel to him."

"Even he might not have thought that so many things would be buried in his tomb, and all the inheritance utensils and utensils he left to Haihunhou were also buried with him."

"Hey, Liu He's life was indeed quite miserable."

Chen Han nodded in deep agreement: "Yes!"

Liu He never expected that after his death, he would not even be able to get a dick!

For Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, giving Liu He the use of yellow intestines is not wrong in the slightest legal or rational sense, and it can even bring some political prestige to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!
It's a harmless thing!

However, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not do this!
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty even gave Huo Guang the treatment of Huang Changti, but he didn't give Liu He this honor.

For Liu He, it was simply tragic.
