"Then why didn't these fragments be handed over to the state?" I asked her rhetorically.

"In fact, there are so many terracotta warriors and horses, and people don't want these fragments at all, mainly because there are too many terracotta warriors and horses, and the attitude of the staff is also lazy, otherwise people can steal one?" asked the beautiful woman rhetorically.

"That's right. I nodded and said: "In the past, at the excavation site, there were many very broken ceramic fragments, although the archaeological team will also take them away, and then people will try to put them together, if they can be put together, it is naturally good, but if all of them are fragments, then they can only be collected in the state of fragments, but in fact, they have lost their value, and they can only be stacked in boxes and bags like this." ”

"Have you ever been to an archaeological excavation?" asked me in surprise.

"There happened to be another ancient tomb on the hill in my hometown, and the archaeological team hired my grandfather and my brother as guides when they excavated it, so I also went there. "I'm telling the truth, but I'm just avoiding the important.

"Oh. The beautiful woman nodded and said, "You can help me take this down, and the things below may be more valuable." ”

I quickly took down the fragments of the box, which weighed dozens of pounds, and then the box below was covered with a layer of iron sheet, and the periphery of the iron sheet was nailed with small screws.

The beauty continued to open the box, and after opening the box, there was a layer of oiled paper, which was a transparent plastic film, apparently to prevent moisture and water.

After the beautiful woman lifted the oiled paper, she first took out a stack of old newspapers, which were also sealed in bags.

I glanced at it, and the news that caught my eye was that a team of archaeologists from the United States and the Shaanxi Museum jointly surveyed the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, using advanced metal detectors, sound detectors, air analyzers and other equipment from the United States to survey the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

The results of the survey shocked everyone, the depth of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is about 27 meters to 35 meters, and the depth of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is about 12 floors according to the height of our current one-story building of three meters.

It's just that this is only the height of the top of the tomb to the ground, and it is unknown what the height of the top of the tomb to the floor is.

As for the area, it is about 40,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the area of five or six football fields spliced together, which shows the grandeur of its imperial tomb.

Looking down from the sky, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang resembles an upside-down pyramid tomb, which is very similar to the style of tombs before the Warring States period.

And the mausoleum that takes this kind of vertical burial pit, the support of the mausoleum building is very strong, otherwise basically after dozens of hundreds of years, the tombs are collapsed, and after the collapse, the entire tomb will be buried by the soil.

This is that the tombs before the Han Dynasty basically collapsed, and the burial goods were buried in the soil, and the soil on the Ming vessel was brushed off little by little with a brush when it was unearthed.

Of course, for tomb robbers, there is time to brush slowly, before the Han Dynasty, bronze and jade are the mainstay, jade before the people basically do not steal, all the gold, silver and bronze in the tomb are taken away, but the jade will remain.

Because jade was not good to circulate in ancient times, once the jade was taken out, people would ask for the source, and if it was found to be taken out of the tomb, then you would be arrested directly, so the previous tomb robbers would leave the jade behind.

is like the golden jade clothes unearthed in the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, all the gold threads were removed, but all those jade pieces were left.

But modern tomb robbers, blame you for something, except for the stuffed mouth and the miscellaneous jade of **, take everything else.

That's because the times are different now, and the country's policies are different, as long as this jade is a good thing, it doesn't matter where you come from, besides, if you don't accept it at home, there will naturally be a lot of people abroad.

However, there is another theory that if a person has a soul after death, he will generally choose to keep it in the jade, and the jade that comes out of the grave is naturally not clean, and it is very likely that there is something dirty in it, which is unlucky, so the tomb robbers do not take the jade.

Tomb robbers generally go down to the bottom of the tomb, the time is very urgent, one is generally a night time, from the robbery hole to take the things away, the time is limited, the other is that the oxygen at the bottom of the tomb is very limited, so they have to be very fast.

And after the collapse, there is soil all around, and you can't just feel around the whole coffin like you would in a normal tomb, and see what is good and take what, because the coffin also collapsed, and all the burial goods were buried in the earth.

At this time, there is a rule, that is, to judge the position of the coffin, and after the direction is confirmed, the soil is dug along the two positions of 'left shoulder and right foot', because the ancient people's valuable burial goods were generally placed in these two positions.

This saves time, and after digging something, it is even wrapped in soil, and even wrapped in soil.

As for the funeral room, the rule to be followed is 'Dongcang Xiku', which means that the funeral room in the east is the granary, and the burial room is the five grains and six animals, and the funeral room in the west is the warehouse, and the burial is those daily utensils, such as ceramics, gold and silver, pots and pans are basically here, which is also the favorite place of tomb robbers in addition to the coffin.

Therefore, mastering the rules can not only save time, but also greatly guarantee the success rate and safety.

I shook my head and read all the newspapers of the Americans, and through surveying and mapping, I mapped out the general appearance of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but it was only a vague approximation, because the Americans did not continue to carry it out.

Because they came to the conclusion that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang could not be excavated, and the museum came to them to assist in the excavation at that time.

The newspaper wrote that the Americans took soil for testing and found that the mercury content in the soil was seriously exceeded, and the deeper the soil, the more serious the mercury content was, and some even exceeded the standard by hundreds of times.

Mercury is also the legendary mercury, and this archaeological discovery also confirms the rumored saying that Qin Shi Huang used mercury to irrigate the territory of the Qin Dynasty at that time, forming rivers, lakes and seas in the tomb, and mercury is poisonous.

Not only toxic, but also volatile, will not be decomposed by the soil, the mercury content of the soil next to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is hundreds of times more than the standard, then I dare not imagine the content in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

The entire Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was filled with mercury poison gas, so that anything that entered could only be sent to death.

"It turns out that the rumors are all true!" I closed the newspaper, turned my head to look at the beautiful woman and said: "Legend has it that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has several major evidences, the first is the curse of the Wu clan, I think it is those living figurines, the second is that the mausoleum is full of mercury, the American instrument has been checked, the third is that there is a strong army guarding the mausoleum, if nothing else, it should be this terracotta army, once the curse starts, those living figurines are like zombies, all crawl out, not to mention killing, scare can scare a group of people to death." ”

"Nope. The beautiful woman suddenly said: "The army guarding is not the terracotta army, but the regular army, the Mengjia army!"

"What do you mean?" I glared at the beautiful woman.

"Look at this. While speaking, the beautiful woman handed me an ancient book bound in thread, and I took it, and when I saw the four words on the book cover, my mouth opened wide in shock.
