Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 159 Tomb of Prince Gumo

After Professor Chen saw the coffin underneath, he also laughed and said, "Haha, it turns out that the real tomb is here. The owner of this tomb is quite thoughtful."

After hearing this, Bai Jing couldn't help but feel happy.

But then, Bai Jing said: "Wait a minute, I will go down first. After I go down, I will check if there are any traps or anything like that. Just wait until there are no problems before you go down."

After hearing Bai Jing's words, others are free to do so.

They all know Bai Jing's skills.

Immediately, Bai Jing took the ladder, assembled the ladder, and then slowly lowered the ladder.

When the ladder reached the bottom, Bai Jing estimated that the tomb at the bottom should be about 2.3 meters.

For a tomb, this is quite high.

Immediately, Bai Jing went down the ladder into the tomb.

In this tomb, except for the coffin placed in the middle of the tomb, there are no other burial objects. The four walls are all covered with murals.

In fact, this is considered a normal situation. Not all civilizations have the habit of placing funerary objects other than coffins.

Afterwards, I walked around the tomb and didn't feel any palpitations. It was certain that there was no mechanism in the tomb.

Thinking about it, the tomb itself is underground, and even if you enter the sacrificial room above, it is usually difficult to find the tomb below.

In this case, even if you can enter the tomb, as I said, it's useless even if you have a mechanism.

After confirming that there was no mechanism, Bai Jing called the people above to come down.

Professor Chen and Professor Hao were already impatient. After receiving Bai Jing's instructions, they were the first to come down.

After all, Professor Hao was younger and moved faster. After descending into the tomb very quickly, he excitedly pointed at the coffin in the tomb and said, "Teacher, look at this tomb. This tomb looks weird. It seems that it has been buried for a long time." The lost burial form of the ancient peoples of the Western Regions."

Immediately afterwards, Professor Hao looked left and right in the tomb.

After the fat man came down, he saw Professor Hao's appearance. He suddenly asked Bai Jing in a strange expression, "Why does this guy look like a psycho?"

After hearing this, Bai Jing also smiled and explained: "Fat man, don't talk nonsense. Senior Brother Hao is passionate about archeology. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Professor Hao also heard Bai Jing's words at this moment, laughed, but did not care, but continued to point to the coffin in the tomb and said: "You guys, look at this coffin, it seems specious, but it is neither fish nor fowl."

Bai Jing smiled and said: "Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in the Western Regions, the Western Regions were deeply influenced by Han culture more than two thousand years ago. This coffin seems to have been influenced by the coffins of the Han Dynasty. It has a certain influence. Cultural elements of the Han Dynasty.”

With that said, Bai Jing pointed to some decorative patterns on the coffin and continued: "Senior brother, look, what is above is the moire decoration and frame shape that were popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that in addition to Han elements, this coffin also incorporates some local ethnic elements, such as some symbols of local ancient ethnic groups on it. However, because of this, it looks a bit nondescript. .

Moreover, this tomb should be a husband and wife burial tomb, and there should be two corpses in this coffin. Therefore, this coffin is wider than ordinary coffins. "After listening to Bai Jing's words, Professor Hao nodded in agreement and said: "Junior brother is very insightful, I think it should be the same. "

At this moment, Ye Yixin and Sa Dipeng couldn't wait to start taking notes.

This is full of useful information.

But at this moment, Professor Chen's somewhat excited voice came over.

"Come and take a look, these murals are simply spectacular."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were attracted.

But at this moment, Hu Bayi discovered that Fatty was secretly looking at the coffin. Hu Bayi quickly pulled Fatty's hand and said, "Don't use your brain.

We are here to gain knowledge. If we encounter danger, we must ensure safety. We are not here to rob tombs. We must be careful not to expose our identities. "

When the fat man heard this, he could only say angrily: "Okay, okay, I understand. We are just here to learn more. I remember it."

With that said, Hu Bayi and Fatty also followed the footsteps of everyone and came to the mural.

Professor Chen pointed to the mural on the wall and said with some excitement: "This mural contains records of the ancient city of Jingjue, and this tomb is the tomb of Prince Gumo."

Bai Jing looked at the mural, and then quickly found the beginning of the content of the mural, which was the first mural. He nodded and said, "Yes, Gumo Country was one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region during the Han Dynasty, and its residents It mainly focuses on agriculture and also engages in animal husbandry. Copper and iron are produced within the territory. In the Han Dynasty, it was successively placed under the Western Regions Protectorate and the Western Regions Changshi Management.

"Han Shu·Xiyu Chuan·Gu Mo Kingdom" records: "In Gu Mo Kingdom, the king ruled Nancheng. He went to Chang'an for 8,150 miles, with 3,500 households and 24,500 mouths. He won the army. Four thousand five hundred people.

There is one person each for the Gumo Marquis, the Fu Guo Marquis, the Duwei, the left and right generals, the left and right cavalry officers, and two translators.

It reaches the headquarters of the Duhufu in the east for 1,210 miles, goes to Khotan in the south for fifteen days, and meets Wusun in the north.

It can be seen from the records in the history books that Gumo is a small country, but its royal city is Nancheng, which presumably is the ruins where we are now. "

After hearing this, Professor Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Xiaobai is very good. As an archaeologist, you have to read all the books, so that if something is discovered during the archaeological process, you can quickly draw useful conclusions." Conclusion."

As he spoke, Professor Chen looked at the first mural and explained: "The content of this mural roughly states that Gumo is a small country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and it is also a tributary of Jingjue Country.

They were oppressed by the Jingjue Kingdom, and every year they had to offer a large amount of gold and silver treasures, as well as other cattle, sheep, and slaves to Queen Jingjue.

From this point of view, the Gumo Kingdom should be under the management of both the Jingjue Kingdom and the Western Region Protectorate of the Han Dynasty. "

In fact, this is normal. The Han Dynasty was more powerful and controlled the entire Western Region. However, there must be some larger countries among them, such as Jingjue Kingdom. This girl couldn't afford to offend others, so she could only pay tribute every year. That’s it.

After Professor Chen explained the content of the first mural, he also said with emotion: "The painters of these murals are really skilled. Everything on them is gorgeous and expressive. Even if there are no written records, the content of the murals alone is... It’s so clear and vivid.”
