The situation inside the main tomb can actually be seen at a glance.

Although the coffin is said to have decayed.

However, judging from the decay marks, it is obvious that the yellow intestines were not used in the main tomb.

Because Huang Chang Ti Cou requires a large amount of cypress wood to be built.

Take the more famous Xiangbizui Tomb No. 1 and Doubishan Tomb No. 1 as examples.

The yellow intestines of these two tombs are made of 908 cypress trees, surrounding the outer coffin and slightly lower than the outer coffin.

The front and back walls are 13.2 meters wide, the two side walls are 14.1 meters long, and the wooden frame is 25 meters wide and 0.3 meters thick.

Some of the royal tombs are made of tens of thousands of cypress trees, with an outer diameter of 18 meters long, a width of 10.8 meters, and a height of about 3 meters.

To put it simply, Huang Chang Ti Cou is actually a main tomb made of cypress wood.

The entire Huang Chang Ti is built inside and is divided into three parts: the front room, the inner coffin and the cloister.

These three parts are divided into seven chambers, and each chamber contains pottery, lacquerware, silk fabrics, money and other funerary objects.

It can be understood that Huangchang Tizuo Chamber is an enlarged version of the coffin.

The coffin in the Han Dynasty Tomb No. 168 in Fenghuang Mountain was enlarged into a tomb chamber and then built with cypress wood. This is Huangchangti.

This tomb of the Nanyue King is a stone chamber tomb.

When Chen Han and the three of them climbed in from the tunnel under the tomb door, they could confirm the specifications of Fei Huang Chang Ti Cou with just a glance.

Because the length and width of the main tomb chamber are only three to four meters, which is far less than the specifications of Huangchang Tizuo.

In fact, the main tomb of the Nanyue King is similar to the tomb of the monarch during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Each is a tomb chamber four meters long and wide, with a coffin placed in the center and surrounded by piles of funerary objects.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhao Tuo and Zhao Tuo were born in the late Warring States Period and did not fully accept the central system of the Western Han Dynasty.

Although the burial style of "Tizuo" began in ancient times.

It actually originated from tombs built with wood.

In ancient times, most people just dug a hole and buried it.

Only very extravagant tribal leaders can use expensive wood to build themselves a shelter behind their backs.

However, it was not until the Western Han Dynasty that "Huang Chang Ti Cou" truly became the standard for imperial tombs.

According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, Huangchang Ticuo, the Zi Palace, the living room, the outer coffin, and the gold-lined jade garments all belong to the tomb specifications of the imperial mausoleum and cannot be used by ordinary people.

At first, when Chen Han and the others found the coffin hidden outside the front room, they were secretly looking forward to it.

There is an outer coffin, and burial rituals such as the yellow intestine inscription and the jade garment with gold threads are also likely to appear in it.

As a result, after Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, and Ling An entered the main tomb, they saw at a glance that the main tomb was not a Huangchang-inscribed burial, and they were secretly disappointed.

Perhaps the South Vietnamese monarchs did not accept the funeral ceremony system of the Western Han Dynasty, but followed the funeral ceremony of the Qin Dynasty.

Then the imperial burial style of gold thread jade clothing, which was only used in the Han Dynasty, will probably not appear again.

Then, the owner of the tomb, who didn't follow the routine, gave them another roller coaster-like surprise.

Hey, although I didn’t use Huang Chang Ti Cou, I did use gold thread jade clothes. Unexpected, right?

This is a joke, it's not funny at all.

Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng felt as if they were on a roller coaster, with their moods constantly ups and downs.

"It's really a jade piece with golden threads and jade clothes!"

Reaching out his hand to gently touch the piece of jade that Ling An discovered, Chen Han's eyes were filled with excitement.

Although it is said that there are only a dozen or twenty pieces of gold-threaded jade clothes unearthed in the country, which are much less than those bronze ritual vessels, pottery, and even jade seals.

However, this thing is too famous.

It is so famous that anyone who studies archeology will definitely look for opportunities to go to the museum to see it with their own eyes.

"Let's go, the two directors and Professor Li should be waiting impatiently."

"The indoor environment has been photographed, let's go out and report!"

Chen Han carefully and reluctantly put the piece of jade back on the ground, greeted Zhuang Yunpeng and Ling An, and was about to return the same way.

This piece of jade must not be taken out.

They need to climb out through the tunnel. If they bring jade pieces with them, if the jade pieces are worn out during the climb, this will be a huge loss to the archaeological community!

So even if he missed her again, Chen Han didn't dare to take her with him.

...

After Chen Han and the others crawled out of the tunnel with the photographed conditions of the main tomb chamber, Professor Li immediately held a meeting for the excavation team.

All researchers from the two archaeological institutes participated.

There is only one topic of discussion, how to open the main tomb chamber.

Everyone had a heated discussion around the three previously proposed plans.

In the end, the three leaders still felt that.

Since most of the capping stones have been found to be fractured, if a large-scale roofing method is used, the capping stones will definitely break when lifted off, which is not conducive to future protection of the original site of the tomb, so it cannot be used.

When entering through a tunnel, considering the basic safety of the tomb, the tunnel should not be too large or too deep, which would be extremely inconvenient for staff to enter and exit. Moreover, it is known that some of the funerary objects in the back are quite large and difficult to move out of the tunnel. This plan

Nor is it advisable.

After discussing for a long time, everyone thought that we should find a way to open the stone door to facilitate cleaning inside.

Therefore, in the afternoon, everyone widened and deepened the tunnel. Lin Ya and two other researchers from the Guangzhou Institute entered the main tomb chamber again and mapped the plans of several piles of pottery behind the stone gate.

Then, some of the pottery was temporarily removed and moved deep into the main tomb to clear a working space for opening the stone door.

At the same time, Director Fu also invited Captain Tang from the Stone Construction Engineering Team of the Municipal Garden Bureau to help discuss ways to open the stone gate.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Captain Tang of the stone construction engineering team has been dealing with stones all his life and has built many stone gates.

Although the stone gate of the Nanyue King's Tomb was made two thousand years ago, it was not a problem for him.

After some on-site inspection, he found a crack on the upper axis of the stone door on the west side.

Captain Tang thought that this crack could be used to open a stone door.

The method is to dig at the bottom of the threshold under the door. As long as you dig slowly, because the stone door is very heavy and there are cracks on the upper axis, the stone door panel will inevitably sink with it, so that you can safely lift it off.

The next day, everyone started construction according to the plan decided yesterday.

First, hollow out the bottom of the stone door to make it sink a little. After there are spaces on the four sides, use sacks to pad the stone door and then tie it with a wire rope. With the help of a manual hoist, the door panel can be lifted off smoothly and moved outside the tomb door.

Temporary storage.

In this way, the stone door has been removed, but the door shaft used for load-bearing is still there, which can effectively bear the load.

However, in order to avoid the risk of collapse, it was reinforced with two metal brackets to prevent accidents.

Finally, two thick wooden boards were laid at the door as floor mats, and the main tomb was completely open to all archaeological workers.

Everyone can come in and out at will, and the cleaning work of the main tomb chamber has officially begun!

"First clean the lacquered wood screen placed against the east wall to make some space for standing while cleaning the coffin!"
Chapter completed!
