Master Archaeologist

Chapter 266 As beautiful as new!

"Don't touch it yet!"

"Send it to the laboratory for further examination!"

Kong Jianwen shouted eagerly, his copper eyes kept staring at the archaeologists at the scene.

No way, when the coffin cover was hoisted, the archaeological staff at the scene were divided into two parts.

Some of them were like Chen Han, whose eyes kept glancing into the main coffin.

The other part is constantly looking at the bottom of the coffin cover.

Because, when the coffin was closed, the inside of the main coffin was stuffed to the brim.

So much so that the bottom of the coffin cover is actually attached to the funerary objects in the main coffin.

As time passed, many of the topmost jade, silk, gold and silver wares in the main coffin were passively embedded in the bottom of the coffin lid.

As a result, when the coffin cover is hoisted, the bottom is called "brilliant"!
Because when lifting the coffin cover, many archaeologists stood around and supported the coffin cover, so the distance between their hands and the cultural relics inlaid at the bottom was only a few centimeters.

This makes some people can't help but want to reach out and touch it.

This behavior made Kong Jianwen anxious.

These cultural relics are inlaid on the coffin cover, and the situation is very unstable.

If you touch it, it might fall off.

Now the coffin cover is about [-] to [-] centimeters above the ground. If this highly fragile cultural relic falls, it will definitely be smashed.

Not to mention that the main coffin is under the coffin cover. If it falls and smashes some things in the main coffin, it will be a lot of fun.

Under the reprimand of Kong Jianwen blowing his beard and staring, everyone obediently withdrew their hands.

"Tsk tsk, Lao Kong, there is such a gorgeous lacquer painting on the back of the coffin cover!" Wen Yuangen couldn't help pointing to the coffin cover and said.

It is different from the side facing outwards of the coffin cover.

The inward side, that is, the back of the bottom, was sealed together in the main coffin, so it was in good condition.

On the back, black and red lacquer painting can also be seen.

The most conspicuous among them is a "Flying Immortal" painted in the middle, with a fairy air, a look of "I want to ride the wind back".

Perhaps this is also pinned on the tomb owner's own thoughts, hoping that after death, the soul can fly to the sky with the wind and become a fairy.

But Kong Jianwen looked at Wen Yuangen helplessly: "Director Wen, is it time to appreciate lacquer painting?"

"Hurry up and lift the coffin cover, then pack it and send it to the laboratory behind."

"After sending it to the laboratory, let them clean up the utensils inlaid on the coffin cover."

Following Kong Jianwen's instructions, everyone came back to their senses and began to cooperate with the lifting of the coffin cover, lifting it to a safe place first and talking.

And Chen Han also took his gaze back from the main coffin.

"Hao, you're too rich." He murmured.

Today he has seen the world.

In the main coffin of Marquis Haihun, it was like selling a mountain of gold!

It's not an adjective, it's an affirmative!
Because he really saw a pile of gold in the main coffin.

There are gold cakes and horseshoe gold that I have seen before, and there are also gold plates that have not been unearthed before!
The entire head box is filled with gold!
It is estimated that there are at least a few tens of kilograms!
Besides gold, the most conspicuous ones are all kinds of jade!

Because the coffin was stuffed to the brim, although the coffin was opened, the inside of the coffin actually looked as flat as a piece of rammed soil.

There is really no gap at all.

In the compartment between the inner and outer coffins, all the funerary objects are placed, and the top layer is a piece of jade.

Some jade biscuits have been broken into several pieces, and some jade biscuits are still well preserved.

As for what is under the jade bi.

The black lacquer looks like mud, and there is really no way to distinguish it. We can only know after it is cleaned up gradually.

But Chen Han can be sure that there are a lot of silk fabrics inside.

These "silts" are actually the residues left over from rotten silk fabrics!

Continue to lift.

The coffin cover, which was wrapped with a wooden frame, was gradually lifted out of the main tomb, and through the planned passage, it was lifted out of the No. [-] work shed, which is the work shed of Haihunhou's tomb, and was sent to a distant place. archaeological base.

After watching the coffin cover being taken away, all the archaeologists at the scene looked at the main coffin in front of them with fiery faces.

The situation in the main coffin is actually different from the coffins that most ordinary people imagine.

In fact, the inside of the main coffin is completely rammed.

Layers of funerary objects were piled up, and the gaps between the original funerary objects were also filled with rotting silk fabrics.

It looks, in fact, the main coffin is more like a brick.

All sides are flat, without the slightest "concave" shape.

Next, it is up to the archaeologists to clean up layer by layer to remove all the tamped funerary objects and free up space in the main coffin.

Only in this way can the inner coffin be separated.

Yes, after the coffin was opened, the archaeologists at the scene could already confirm that it was a double coffin.

Through the partitions in the main coffin, it can be roughly seen that the main coffin is mainly composed of two coffins, the inner coffin and the outer coffin.

Like nesting dolls, in the center of the main coffin, there is also an inner coffin.

The entire coffin is in the shape of "Hui".

The outer circle is the outer coffin, and the inner circle is the inner coffin.

There is actually nothing to say about the inner coffin, it is just a smaller coffin, also sealed with a coffin cover.

So although the main coffin has been opened, the most important inner coffin, that is, the core coffin where the tomb owner's body and burial objects are placed, has not been in contact with the outside world.

Everyone paid more attention to the funerary objects between the inner and outer coffins!

It also met the expectations of the archaeologists. The funerary objects between the inner and outer coffins are shocking!
"beautiful!"

"The cover of this inner coffin is still as bright as new!"

"This has been buried for more than 2000 years!"

Professor Li adjusted his glasses with trembling hands, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

This inner coffin is very well preserved!

On the main coffin, in order to facilitate the archaeologists to clean the coffin, several lighting lamps were set up.

Under the illumination of these lamps, the cover of the inner coffin was so smooth that it could reflect light!

It's like being waxed!
If someone walks by the inner coffin, there will even be a shadow on the inner coffin cover!

Such a bright and smooth inner coffin cover is extremely rare in the archaeology of the Han Dynasty!

Chen Han kept stepping on his feet to observe the inner coffin.

Very beautiful indeed!

On the southernmost side of the inner coffin cover, there is a painting of a standing Suzaku. This kind of decoration is called lark pattern.

In the Western Han Dynasty, this pattern represented the meaning related to immortality.

Then consider the drawing of the fairy ascending to the sky on the wind on the cover of the outer coffin.

It can be seen how much the owner of the tomb hopes to become a fairy after death!
This is also a very popular trend in the Western Han Dynasty.

After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who really wanted to become an immortal. Driven by him, "cultivating immortals" became very popular in the Western Han Dynasty.

As a member of Liu's royal family, it doesn't seem strange that Liu He likes cultivating immortals.

Standing beside the main coffin, he hungrily looked at the situation inside the coffin.

Kong Jianwen calmly pointed to a corner between the inner and outer coffins, and said, "Let's clean up this crushed gold-encrusted lacquer box first!"
