Chapter 193 Triple Coffin(1/2)

From digging in the evening to around 8 a.m., two more coffins were dug out on the left and right sides of the first black coffin.

These three coffins are placed side by side, about 1.5 meters apart from each other. Broken hemp ropes were dug in the soil layer, and they could not be picked up and broke as soon as they touched them.

We speculate that when burial was buried in ancient times, these three coffins were connected together with ropes.

"Three-paired thin coffin burial."

This strange burial method is unheard of, and I saw it for the first time.

In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone on the bottom of the pit, which happened to hit the coffin in the middle.

I don’t know how many years have been buried in the Mangshan Mountain, but this is called the real “seeing the light of day again”.

A tomb of a stolen soil pit is different from a brick room tomb or a stone room tomb. Because the burial objects and coffins are scattered in the soil layer, if you want to take out something, you can only turn the soil open.

The hole dug is not big from the top, but it becomes big after it comes down, like a sweet potato cellar.

I wonder if there is such a hole in your hometown?

Just on the mountain or on the hillside, I suddenly saw a cave entrance. The entrance was not big, but the space was large after entering.

Even the older people in the village didn't know what this kind of hole was for. It seemed that it appeared out of thin air on one day. Most of the holes were nothing, and some scattered bones could be seen in some cases.

In fact, the cave you see is probably the "rift cave of the ancient tomb of the earth pit." Before the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were possible.

"Give me a crowbar, damn it! Why is it so tightly!" Douyazai was sweating profusely, and he wanted to pry open the lid of the coffin!

Brother Yu lit three cigarettes and buried them in the open space in front of the coffin. He closed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, three of you, for life, we ask for some money, don't mind."

I said, "Don't pay tribute to Brother Yu there, you are very strong, come and help."

"Here you come!"

The tip of the crowbar was pushed along the casket and smashed it with a stone, and the three of us exerted force together.

"one two three!"

"rise!"

"It's open!"

Just a squeak.

The lid of the coffin was lifted by a crowbar. Seeing this, Yuanbao quickly stuffed a stone to support it.

Pull out the crowbar and I'm going to see it.

He grabbed me by pulling his head, "Wait, run away the air, don't you smell a scent?"

After sucking the nose, you can indeed smell a scent. We call this smell "rotten coffin smell".

It smells smelly, but not too smelly. I think about how to describe it... By the way, it is like the broken cooked eggs in summer, and the taste is very exciting.

These three coffins are very narrow, and fat people can't lie in. They are different in size from the coffins I have seen before and do not comply with ancient regulations.

"The coffin in the world is seven feet three, and six and a half feet are buried all the Han people in the world."

In the past, it was said that a man of seven feet tall would live in a coffin after his death. The extra "three" inches were to put some burial objects.

When talking about the three black coffins dug, the middle ones are fine, but the coffins on both sides are obviously smaller in size, about four feet or five feet in length, and they feel like children's.

After ventilation for more than half an hour, I said it was almost done, let’s do it?

"Yeah, get away from it."

Opened.

At first glance, I saw that the coffin was covered with some kind of "black mud", which smelled of rotten eggs.

"Damn it! This is copper coins!"

Douyazi had sharp eyes, and I didn't even see it. He didn't think it was dirty. He grabbed a handful of copper coins with mud and soil, and there were dozens of them.

I took a look and said that this was the Wuzhu coins from the Western Han Dynasty.

The Wuzhu coins are easy to identify, and the square hole in the middle of the coins is relatively large.

"This...how much does this cost?" Douyazai turned his head and asked me.

I said, "You put it aside for now. Wuzhu coins are unearthed in tons of Han tombs, only one dollar per person, and you can buy three buns.

"Grass, why does it cost one dollar?" Douyazai looked disappointed and threw it into the leather bucket.

"Hey? I saw it again! A big jade bowl was buried there!"

"Big Jade Bowl? Where?"

"It's right there!" Douyazai took two steps and reached out to dig.

Indeed, they are basically buried in the black mud, with only a little outline exposed, like a jade bowl.

I said why are you so fucking sharp-eyed? You can see it all.

In this case, if the archaeological team does it, they will take photos first, then take a small brush, and brush it out for a long time.

But Douyazai looked excited, so he took it out with his bare hands.

"Damn, no!"

Douyazi looked at it and threw it away directly.

This is not a big jade bowl, this is the dead man's skull, and it is the opposite, buried in the mud, looking like a bowl.

Jade sword gust and two short-handled bronze swords with rusty short-handled swords were found again, indicating that the owner of the tomb was a man. If he was a woman, it would be impossible for swords and weapons to appear in the coffin.

Just when all of us thought this was a Han tomb, the discovery of something overturned this conclusion.

Another type of copper coin was discovered. After washing the mud with water, the copper coin noodles could be vaguely seen.

"Daquan Fifty".

"Put your head..." I was surprised and asked: "This is not from the Han Dynasty, it is from the Xinmang period!"

Why do you say so?

Because the coins minted by the Later Dynasty cannot appear in the coffin of the previous Dynasty!

Xinmang and the late Western Han Dynasty were very close, and many bronze ware styles were completely consistent and could not be divided. Just like the blue and white porcelains of Xuande and Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, "Yongxuan is not divided."

The coffin was well preserved, but the owner of the tomb had only half of the skull left. The bones in other parts were not seen, and they probably turned into momo and mixed in the mud.

He also dug up a bronze mirror with a grain nail pattern the size of a palm, a flattened lacquer box, and the things contained in it were piece of wood, which should be the "famous thorn" of the Xinmang period.

Mingtao is the originator of modern business cards. Each piece of wood board 15 cm long and 3 cm wide may record what the tomb owner is named, when he died, etc. Unfortunately, the brush calligraphy on Mingtao can no longer be seen clearly.

.

He was very careful with his head and wrapped these fragile thorns with plastic wrap. He said that after he went back, he soaked it in a potion from the archaeological team, and he might be able to see the brush words on the thorns clearly.

After a few simple bites, we seized the time and opened the smaller coffin again.

In addition to some scattered black human bones, we were surprised to find that in the inner side of the coffin, several small holes were artificially dug, and some small pottery dogs, pottery pigs, and pottery were placed in the holes.

Ox, each one is as long as a finger, is made vividly and looks cute.

"Fengzi, look, is this a VCD CD?"

I was speechless, I said it was not a CD, it must be a jade bi. If you don’t believe it, please pick it up and take a look.

When Douyaozi dug it out, he saw it was really a plain jade bi.

This is how you open the coffin. Until the end, you will never know what strange thing you will touch.

Brother Yu found two small stone balls, solid, without patterns, and without eyes. They were just two balls, wrapped in mud.

Asked Jae Head, even if she was knowledgeable Jae Head, she didn't know what the ball was for. Dou Yazai still suspected: "Is this a fossil of human eyeballs?"

After cleaning until the end, a small bluestone lion with broken legs was dug, with the lion's mouth open.

I suddenly got inspiration and tried to put the stone ball into the lion's mouth.

Just then, I suddenly realized that the ball was bitten in the lion's mouth before, and it was a set of things.

Looking at these cute little lions, Taoshao puppies and pigs, etc., and adding the coffin number one, we speculate that these are toys, which are coffins for children.

There are men and children, and the remaining coffin is likely to be a woman, a family of three.

The facts proved that what I expected was right. In the last coffin, there was a woman.

This burial object is the most numerous. Not to mention the dazzling sight, it is also quite dazzling, far more than the burial objects in the male coffin.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, many women have higher social status than men. For example, Xin Zhui Tomb and Dou Ying’s tomb have more burial objects than men. The world’s number one lamp, Changxin Palace Lantern was unearthed from Dou Ying’s tomb, and the man did not have it.

.

"Be careful, take it with you gently. If this thing doesn't work well, it will break."

Brother Yu carefully picked up a wooden paint box and could see the original colored paint from that year. This is the makeup box. It is a multi-frame inside and needs to be taken to clean.

This thing is very fragile, so I repeatedly remind you to be careful.

The female corpse was not preserved, but the skull was intact. I wonder if the three of them were poisoned to death by others. Each of them had a very dark bone, and it looked like they were painted with black paint.

A Han Basket Jade Cicada was found around the skull. The soil on the head of the jade cicada was black, but the cicada body was still white and shiny. The best Hetian white jade used should have been held in the mouth, so this kind of
To be continued...
