Urban: Start by picking up the leaky Kowloon Jade Cup

After driving for three hours, the car finally arrived at the ancient tomb in Ximing City.

As soon as Yang Jian got out of the car, what caught his eyes was the Gobi Desert that could be seen everywhere.

In the car, Xu Mingjun had already had a brief introduction to the tomb group found this time.

This place was originally prepared by a factory to mine raw materials here, but in the process of excavation, this tomb complex was stumbled, so it was immediately reported.

When Yang Jian and his party came to the tomb group, the area was already full of people.

In addition to some professional archaeology staff, there is also a large group of media reporters, who have been sent by this jewelry company.

Of course, there are more onlookers to see the excitement, after all, it is a tomb complex that has been dug up.

What Yang Jian didn’t expect was that as soon as he walked over, many people already recognized him.

“Hey? Isn’t that the person who handed over two national treasures some time ago? Why is he here too? ”

“That’s Yang Jian anchor! I’ve seen him live! ”

“I didn’t expect him to be able to participate in the archaeological work of the tomb group this time, and he was really lucky…”

“Hey! It is said that he has been invited by the State Administration of Cultural Relics Research as a special researcher for cultural relics, which is officially recognized. ”

……

Luck or strength.

For the discussion of the onlookers, Yang Jian did not pay much attention, but directly followed the excavation site of Xu Mingjun and others’ tombs on the whole network.

After a night of excavation, three tombs had been excavated by local staff, and Yang Jian, Xu Mingjun and others first came to the largest of them, which was also tentatively named Tomb 1.

After handing over with a local person in charge, Xu Mingjun asked

“Until now, it has not been determined which period of burial this is?”

The person in charge shook his head:

“There are not many artifacts unearthed now, only two, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a tomb from that period.”

Xu Mingjun nodded, the current degree of excavation can only see a third of the outline of the tomb, and if you want to have further confirmation, you have to continue digging down.

At least after seeing the overall outline of the tomb or unearthing a few iconic artifacts can it be determined what era the tomb was.

Lin Sihai, who had been looking at the tomb group, spoke at this time:

“According to my experience, this should be a tomb complex from the Western Zhou Dynasty.”

After Xu Mingjun heard this, he was a little surprised, so he asked rhetorically:

“Professor Lin, how can you see it?”

Lin Sihai said confidently

“First of all, Ximing City used to be the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty in history, so it can be regarded as an ancient capital, so the tombs buried under this land are also cultural relics, and the greatest possibility is from the Western Zhou.”

“Secondly, I have just seen the two cultural relics unearthed, although they have not been more carefully studied and identified, but the style of appearance is very characteristic of the Western Zhou Dynasty.”

“Finally, look at the scale of this tomb complex. , A tomb No. 1 is more than twenty meters long and more than ten meters wide, and judging from this specification, it is likely to be the royal family’s funerary tomb! ”

If according to Lin Sihai’s analysis, this is really a royal tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it will cause a sensation throughout the country and even the world.

After all, this is a tomb complex more than 2,000 years ago!

With such a large size of the Western Zhou tomb group, this kind of discovery is enough to amaze history!

However, according to the current point of view, one of the two cultural relics unearthed has been worn out beyond recognition due to oxidation.

The other is a bronze disc about five centimeters in diameter, with illegible writing and patterns, so it is not clear what the disc does.

So Xu Mingjun did not go to a conclusion, but said:

“Professor Lin’s analysis is very reasonable, but let’s wait for a few more cultural relics to be unearthed.”

After all, the matter of archaeology is still very rigorous, and analysis alone cannot stand up, and it must be supported by historical materials.

Yang Jian did not speak, but kept looking at the three tombs with his eyes, as well as the two cultural relics that had been unearthed.

“Ding!”

“After systematic identification, this is a bronze sundial, which was made in 1050 AD and is a timekeeping instrument used by the Duke of Western Xia.”

Sundial? Western Xia period?

Yang Jian raised his head and frowned, and after the system’s prompts, he already roughly understood the origin of this bronze disk.

He then turned his gaze to another worn and mutilated artifact.

“Ding!”

“After systematic identification, this object is the intimate jewelry of the Li family of the princess of Western Xia, the Hao wrist chain bead. Due to the severe damage, the bead is less than one-tenth complete. ”

This bead chain turned out to be the princess of the Western Xia Kingdom?

This made Yang Jian a little confused.

The bronze disc was used by a secretary of the Western Xia Kingdom to keep the time, so how could there be a close-fitting chain bead of the princess of Western Xia next to him?

According to the strict hierarchical system of the ancient Western Xia Kingdom, these two characters should be incapable of beating.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the tomb group in this place is not from the Western Zhou, but from the Western Xia.
