[I couldn¡¯t get into the backstage of the starting point all night. I just found out I could get in after a buddy called me, so I quickly uploaded it]
Zhuang Rui has also been to the tombs of more than two thousand years ago. At the Institute of Archaeology of Beijing University, he faced dead skulls every day. According to this, he is not timid. At least he is a firm atheist.
But the scene he just felt still made Zhuang Rui feel chilly in his heart. The hairs all over his body stood up and his scalp was numb. In this broad daylight, he felt a bit sinister.
Although Zhuang Rui clearly knew that many things in this world were just to scare him, he still didn¡¯t have the courage to continue investigating the situation underground. Instead, he walked out of the long grass and walked towards a slightly higher hill.
"Damn it, no wonder the Mongolians believe in Buddhism. They kill too many people, so why don't they pray to Buddhism to calm their minds?"
Feeling the direct sunlight above his head, Zhuang Rui calmed down a little, but his thoughts were a bit extreme. When the Yuan Dynasty was strong, more than a million people were killed? Compared with this underground burial pit, it is simply insignificant.
After calming down for a while, Zhuang Rui began to recall the scene he had just seen. In fact, it was not uncommon for living people to be buried in some ancient tombs. Some of the deceased's wives, concubines, and servants were buried with them. In the tombs of male and female nobles of the Shang Dynasty, all A large number of people died.
Archaeologists have discovered from the excavated ancient tombs that there are 164 skeletons of martyrs in the tomb of King Shang in Houjiazhuang, Yinxu, and 164 skeletons of martyrs in the tomb of King Shang in Houjiazhuang, Yinxu. People were buried as martyrs, and the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng contained the remains of 21 victims, all of whom were young women.
As for King You of Zhou Dynasty who liked to play with beacon fire and trick the princes and lost his country, there were more than a hundred corpses in his tomb, only one of them was male, and the rest were all female, all of them were his concubines and beauties. It should be said that they were all They are the concubines and maids who died and were buried.
However, the use of living people for burial is a cruel and barbaric system no matter which dynasty it is in. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was restrained and often replaced by wooden figurines and pottery figurines. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, few people were buried with sacrifices.
But in the Ming Dynasty, the practice of human sacrifice revived. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was the first to set a precedent. In the later Qing Dynasty, there were sacrifices and burials in Huang Taiji and Shunzhi. Later, it was not until the Kangxi period that the feudal era burial system was ended.
These are all recorded in existing history, but the history of the Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia is rarely recorded in history books. To this day, not even a tomb of a Yuan Dynasty emperor has been found, let alone whether we understand the Yuan Dynasty¡¯s burial system.
??????????????????????? However, in this tomb whose identity is unknown, thousands of bones were found in just the peripheral stage. This is unique among the known tombs of all dynasties, and at least Zhuang Rui has never heard of it.
"There are layers of corpses in the pit. They should have been killed first and then thrown inside. These dead people must have been the craftsmen who dug the tomb. They killed them first and buried them later to prevent them from becoming familiar with the tomb and leaving an escape route. ¡¡±
Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered the results of his survey just now. There was no trace of spiritual energy in that space. This showed that this tunnel was not used for human sacrifice, but for the burial of the craftsmen who dug the tomb.
You know, most of the people who died were the concubines of ancient emperors. The soldiers who were used to supervise the tombs would never dare to be disrespectful to those women, and they would also have some accessories they wore with them. It was impossible for them to have a trace of aura. No.
And in the burial pit that Zhuang Rui discovered, it was obvious that people had been stripped naked and thrown into it. As for the identities of those people, it was easy to figure out.
Ninety percent of the identity of these people should be the craftsmen who built this tomb.
In ancient times, the craftsmen who built the tombs behind the emperors were very special beings. Their status was very low, and they were mostly composed of slaves and criminals.
Generally speaking, the emperor began to build his own mausoleum in the second year after he ascended the throne. The construction of his tomb could take decades, or it could only take a few years. During this time, these craftsmen would Portraits of people's lives.
Due to the confidentiality of tombs, the final outcome of all craftsmen involved in the construction of the emperor's tomb is death. Since the tomb itself was built by these craftsmen, in order to prevent them from destroying the emperor's coffin or leaving a way out, these craftsmen often They were all buried after being killed.
For example, after the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin II once issued an order announcing that all the concubines and maidens in the harem would be buried. Including the craftsmen of Lishan at that time, the total number was as high as tens of thousands.
Since the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were unearthed in the last century, hundreds of people¡¯s pits and thousands of people¡¯s pits have been discovered around Lishan Mountain. The reason is"Brother, I'm just thirty this year. My wife and children have only been on the hot bed for two years. I don't want to become a guinea pig so quickly"
After thinking about it in his mind, Zhuang Rui made a decision. The things he dug up were not his own anyway. There was no need to sacrifice his wife and soldiers to do it for himself, right?
"After my brother dies, write this in your memoirs. Whether the government is willing to dig it up then, then we have nothing to do"
Zhuang Rui found an excuse to comfort himself, and reluctantly looked away from the golden room. Now he wanted to determine the owner of this big tomb. He couldn't write an anonymous person in his memoirs in the future, right?
