Chapter 132 Mr. Sui's underground palace
Push open a heavy door on the first floor of the exhibition building.
A tunnel extending downward appeared in front of Chen Han and the others.
Just this tunnel, illuminated only by dim lights, has the smell of an "underground palace".
On the tunnel road, there are also a pile of imitation stones, artificial moss, gray bricks, and imitation bronze and iron objects scattered on the ground.
Invite a camera crew, and there is no need to set up any additional scenes. As soon as the "XX Maze" tomb-robbery-themed movie comes out, the shooting can be started directly here.
Wei Sisi said in surprise: "The Jingzhou Museum is very keeping pace with the times. It's just like the popular tomb robbing TV series now."
“The layout and scenery alone will attract a large number of young people to check in!”
Director Cheng's eyebrows were a little proud: "Don't look at us leaders who are too old to keep up with the trends of young people."
"But the museum has also recruited many young people. Nowadays, museums everywhere are becoming younger and attracting young people to visit, and we must keep up."
"This underground palace built for Mr. Sui is an attempt to make people younger. The design team of the underground palace are all born in the 1990s!"
"That's right." Chen Han nodded: "Only young people understand the preferences of young people today."
“Museums have always given people the image of being old-fashioned, heavy, and deep, and they really cannot attract some young people who are not interested in history.”
“But if the underground palace is made into a tomb-robbing movie and TV series that young people like to watch, it will attract some young people who love watching TV series and movies to visit, and it can also indirectly make them fall in love with and get in touch with history and culture.
"
"This is a good direction."
Although, as an archaeologist, Chen Han hated tomb robbers very much.
However, as a novel subject, it is an indisputable fact that tomb robbing novels are very popular among young people.
Especially in recent years, many series of TV series and movies with the theme of tomb robbing have been released one after another, and their influence has been huge.
How to convert those who like tomb robbing into those who like history and archeology is something that museums and cultural workers everywhere need to consider.
Now the Jingzhou Museum has taken the first step, which is indeed worthy of praise.
A gentle but not long tunnel leads directly to the underground basement level 1.
After walking underground, the first thing you see is an underground palace built in the style of a Han Dynasty tomb.
The first floor below was originally used to store some old collections. The area is quite large, about one to two hundred square meters.
Judging from the size alone, the shape is a bit over the top. The size is comparable to the emperor's coffin room, or even larger.
This is obviously not in line with Mr. Sui's status as "Five Doctors".
However, considering that this underground palace must have an endless stream of tourists coming to see it, if it is not made larger, there is really no way to receive tourists.
So Chen Han didn't worry about this.
It was the crystal coffin placed in the center of the "coffin room" that aroused Chen Han's curiosity.
What he was curious about was not Mr. Sui who was vaguely visible in the coffin, but the several museum leaders surrounding the Crystal Palace.
In order to create the atmosphere of an underground palace, the lighting of the underground palace on the negative floor was not particularly bright.
The main light shines within the central crystal coffin.
And in order to prevent Mr. Sui from being exposed to light for a long time, special lighting equipment was used, and it was lit from the ground up.
The surroundings are dark and the middle is bright, and the light in the middle still shines from bottom to top.
From Chen Han's perspective, he only saw this scene.
Several middle-aged men wearing glasses, some of whom were from the Mediterranean, stood around the crystal coffin with their hands behind their backs. The light from below covered half of their faces in darkness.
Coupled with the very dark atmosphere all around.
These leaders whose eyes have been fixed on Mr. Sui seem a bit "eerie".
Especially, when Chen Han and others came down, these leaders turned to look at Chen Han and Wei Sisi in perfect agreement.
Chen Han suddenly felt like he had ruined a group of "cannibals" enjoying a feast.
Don't blame him for having this idea.
The look in the eyes of these leaders when they looked at Mr. Sui was really weird.
There is a bit of eagerness in the appreciation, mixed with a bit of anticipation...
It's like looking at a rare beauty, and the kind that can be "eaten".
The entry of Chen Han and others interrupted the "appreciation" of these leaders.
Facing the looks they all turned to, Chen Han moved his lips in embarrassment: "Haha... Hello leaders, I am Chen Han from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences..."
"Oh, is that Teacher Chen on Weibo right?"
"Hello, hello! I've seen your Douyin video! You did a great job!"
"I've been waiting for you to come, and I'm just waiting for you to fire the first shot of our underground palace!"
"welcome!"
Several leaders immediately put smiles on their faces, stepped forward and pulled Chen Han, and then became reserved.
Even though they are all senior leaders of Jingzhou Museum.
But to be honest, working in a museum is not a job that brings official prestige.
Although it is a public institution, the work it does is still in the service industry.
They spend every day thinking about how to increase the number of visitors to the museum and how to acquire more precious collections.
Now the precious "collection" is finally available.
But there is still a lack of a way to advertise it widely.
This makes Chen Han very important.
"Come on, come on, classmate Chen, come and take a look at the layout of our underground palace and give us your opinions."
The deputy director enthusiastically pulled Chen Han to the crystal coffin, wanting to hear what he, a person who personally participated in the excavation of Tomb M168 at Fenghuang Mountain, would say about the layout of the underground palace.
But what does Chen Han have to say?
He didn't study architecture.
Apart from "it looks pretty", he couldn't offer any useful suggestions.
It was Mr. Sui in the crystal coffin that caught his eye.
Mr. Sui, who was lying in the coffin at this time, was almost the same as when he was unearthed.
Except for the long anatomical opening from the chest to the belly, which has been re-sutured and looks a bit ferocious, the other parts remain basically the same.
In terms of protecting ancient corpses, what we are doing now is much better than what Mrs. Xin Zhui did.
Even Mr. Sui's private parts are still "lifelike". The elephant's trunk is still lying limply on the inside of his right leg. The shape, texture, and even the slightly overly long "wrapped" skin are all clearly visible.
After taking a few more glances, Chen Han even had the idea that "it looks a little cute" in his mind.
But after a moment, this idea was extinguished by him. He was not a pervert...
In addition, the biggest difference from the dissection is that Mr. Sui's internal organs were all individually packed into transparent bottles and jars and soaked in some antiseptic liquid.
Even the thousand-year-old feces extracted from Mr. Sui's body were well packaged and labeled.
This looks a bit scary.
It has the feeling of "evil human scientist's secret laboratory".
However, after Chen Han looked at it carefully, he still nodded and said: "Well, it's pretty good."
