Master Archaeologist

Ancient people, not just Chinese people, have actually researched the mysterious concept of "soul".

Moreover, although people from all over the world do not communicate with each other, they basically have a unified understanding of the existence of "soul".

The Egyptians believe that after death, the soul is immortal. As long as the body is kept, it will be resurrected and live forever in the Paradise after 3000 years.

Therefore, the Egyptian pharaohs had to be made into mummies after death, and the important organs were stored separately for the sake of eternal life in the future.

Coincidentally, there are similar sayings in China, thousands of kilometers away from Egypt.

Yubi, the most important meaning in the Western Han Dynasty, is actually to attract souls not to go away.

In the world view of the Western Han people, the reason why people die is that the soul separates from the body.

Therefore, as long as the soul can not go far away and the body can not be corrupted, then when the time is right, the soul will return to the body, and the dead will be resurrected.

Moreover, this resurrection is not a new life, but equivalent to "emergence", life has entered a higher stage, and will become an immortal immortal.

This is why people in the Western Han Dynasty like to search for immortals and ask questions.

In some modern tomb-robbing novels, this concept of the Western Han people is often used as the material for writing novels, creating plots such as imperishable jade chrysalis.

Liu He's body was filled with jade, and his body and body were layered on top of each other. In fact, it was entrusted with a beautiful vision of retaining Liu He's soul and waiting for his future immortality.

Of course, modern scientific research has shown that it is impossible for human beings to live forever, let alone resurrect from death.

At least when modern technology is very advanced, it is still impossible to achieve.

Then in the Western Han Dynasty, it is even more impossible for people to come back from the dead.

In fact, after more than 2000 years, Liu He did not come back to life, and his body did not remain incorruptible.

However, the Western Han people's practice of death as life is very touching.

Even in the underground world, Liu He still clings to the privilege of Guiwei.

Of the seven pieces of jade that were exposed, the piece in the middle of the chest and abdomen was the most damaged, so it was also the first piece to be extracted.

When extracting this piece of jade, you need to be extremely careful.

If something unexpected happened, Kong Jianwen even took charge of the extraction himself.

The extraction process is not complicated, it is still the same, inserting bamboo sticks, inserting pallets, and then extracting as a whole.

Unfortunately, because the damage was too serious, it was still unsuccessful to extract it as a whole.

When the supporting plate was inserted halfway, Kong Jianwen did not dare to continue inserting it, because the half of the jade that had already reached the supporting plate, due to the angle of inclination, had completely disintegrated with the other half of the jade still in the coffin. separated.

This piece of jade was broken into two halves from the middle, and the two halves were divided into several small pieces, which were very severely broken.

Kong Jianwen had no choice but to extract half of it first, and keep the other half still, picking it up with tweezers bit by bit, and then splicing it onto the tray.

When holding the fragments of jade bi, Kong Jianwen frowned and said: "The quality of this jade bi is not very good."

Compared with the exquisite jade objects extracted from the waist of the owner of the tomb before, as well as the piece of covered jade.

The quality of this piece of jade placed on the chest is simply two extremes.

Not only is it shattered badly, but it has completely become almost like a stone, without the gentle and smooth feeling of jade.

At first glance, the texture of this jade bi is like a gray brick soaked in water, very inconspicuous.

However, if you look closely, you can also see from the fractured cross-section of the inner wall that this piece of jade should have been a piece of sapphire, but its texture is very ordinary.

In contrast, the jade on Liu He's left chest is a fine piece of Hetian jasper from Hetian.

It can be seen that even a nobleman like Liu He, whose wealth is comparable to that of an emperor, can't do a complete set of jade burials, and all of them use high-grade Hetian jade.

He can only mix some ordinary sapphire in it.

Among Liu He's contemporaries, the only person who can be more luxurious than him is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to find a jade burial made of a whole set of Hetian jade, you may have to go to the tomb of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to find hope.

Archaeological excavations are prohibited in the imperial mausoleum.

Liu He's tomb is already the most precious tomb that could be excavated in the Western Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the archaeologists have no other ideas about this piece of sapphire, and they will not think that Liu He "is not enough face" because of this. As long as it is made of jade, it is already luxurious enough.
It took almost half a day for seven pieces of jade and more than a dozen archaeologists to extract them all.

And as these jade bis were extracted one after another, the traces left by the tomb owner's bones gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

"It seems that these jade bis are still built on top of Liu He's remains. There is nothing wrong with that."

Kong Jianwen lay beside the coffin, holding a bamboo stick, and following the traces left by Liu He's skeleton, he gestured to Liu He's figure.

Several pieces of jade had originally covered Liu He's remains, so that the archaeologists could not see the traces of Liu He's upper body bones.

Now that the jade bi was extracted, Liu He's skeleton, which was hidden under the jade bi, revealed its true face.

Of course the bones are gone, not a single bone left.

But because of a long time, even if these bones rot, they will leave a "humanoid" trace.

This trace looks like the shape of the victim's bones drawn with chalk in the "eucalyptus discovery scene" in the TV series.

The outline of a person can be roughly seen, but there are no details.

This is bad news for the study of Liu He's physical condition. Without bone residues, modern scientific and technological tests cannot be carried out, and Liu He's accurate physical condition before his death cannot be obtained.

This is undoubtedly a pity.

However, apart from pity, there are also surprise discoveries.

Under the jade disc, apart from traces of Liu He's bones, there are also some woven cross gold leaves.

These golden gold foils attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

The gold leaf weaving is very complete, and the function of these gold leaves is to connect pieces of jade together.

Of course, this is not a jade robe with golden strands, but a jade mat strung together with gold leaf!

Chen Han's guess was right!

Liu He didn't get the gold-threaded jade clothes, so he was really not reconciled in his heart, and he didn't just be so meek and obedient, but chose to build himself a golden-threaded jade mat!
Director Wen, who was studying the "jade mat" pressed by Liu He, frowned: "No, it's not jade, it's colored glaze!"

"If Liu He is really asked to set up a golden jade mat, he probably wouldn't dare."

"So he played a side ball and made a glass mat!"

"In addition to the rotten glass mat on the coffin lid, when Liu He was buried, he was buried with two upper and lower glazed mats!"
