Chapter four hundred and forty first tomb
Professor Chen's explanation was very clear and clear. A few simple sentences made Chen Jing understand what the quicksand tomb is.
"Master, according to what you said, it is very difficult to enter the quicksand tomb. Only by turning the kite over? " Chen Jing asked.
Professor Chen shook his head slightly, looked at the thief hole again, and then continued: "To be precise, there should be two ways to enter the quicksand tomb, or so far, there are two ways to enter the quicksand tomb in addition to large-scale excavation."
"One of them is called a lower bucket by the tomb robbers. The so-called bucket is woven with willow branches. When they dig holes, they dig a section of the next bucket, which can completely block the quicksand, so that they can dig the main tomb chamber all the way, and people can enter."
When Chen Jing heard this first method, he couldn't help but say, "This is a bit too complicated. Tomb robbers are afraid of attracting attention. Generally, the faster the better. I'm afraid that most tomb robbers will not choose this method."
Professor Chen nodded slightly to agree, and then continued: "In addition to putting down the bucket, it is the method of turning over the kite. Although this method also takes some time, it is not as complicated as putting down the bucket."
While speaking, Professor Chen again gestured with his hands and said, "Xiao Jing, I just said that quicksand was poured into the surroundings of the quicksand tomb, but the ancients neglected a little. What do you think is it?"
Chen Jing said without hesitation when he heard this: "At the bottom, the ancients neglected the bottom of the quicksand tomb. They did not lay the quicksand at the bottom. If there was quicksand at the bottom, the six sides of the tomb were filled with quicksand. If it was connected together, it would be difficult for even a bucket to enter the tomb chamber."
This is not difficult to imagine.
Professor Chen smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said, "Yes, the bottom that the ancients neglected may not be negligent, but it is also done deliberately. But in short, because the bottom of the quicksand tomb is not covered with quicksand, we can easily enter the tomb chamber by using the kite turn over."
"The so-called kite turn over is to dig down from the outside of the sand layer, and when it is dug to a place flush with the bottom of the tomb chamber, dig more than one person down, then dig horizontally in the direction of the tomb chamber, dig to the bottom of the tomb chamber and then dig upwards, and you can bypass the sand layer and enter the tomb chamber."
"So that's it." Chen Jing's eyes flashed with clarity and asked, "Master, I guess I don't know about the average tomb robbers of these two methods, right?"
"Well, this requires an old tomb robber with extremely rich experience in tomb robbers to know that the group of tomb robbers who came to rob the Daqingshan ancient tombs were either old tomb robbers or someone taught them."
Speaking of this, Professor Chen couldn't help but show some sorrow on his face. After all, the more professional the tomb robbers that year, the greater the possibility that the Daqingshan ancient tomb would be robbed and destroyed.
At this time, Kong Xue, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked: "Master, you just said that the quicksand tomb is usually a royal tomb that is used to prevent theft. Then isn't the ancient tomb in the tomb the royal tomb?"
Yes, Chen Jing also reacted to this point, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Could it be that the ancient tomb of Daqingshan was also a tomb of the ancient royal family? But this is even more unfair. In ancient times, Daqingshan even looked down on ordinary officials and nobles, let alone the royal family.
Professor Chen chuckled after hearing this and replied: "Not all quicksand tombs are royal tombs. In ancient times, some people would use quicksand tombs to prevent them from being robbed after death. Of course, we don't know what the situation is in this ancient tomb, so we can make a judgment."
After pausing for a moment, Professor Chen said again: "But from my experience, the probability of this Daqingshan ancient tomb being a royal tomb is not high."
Based on the geographical location and estimated specifications, the Daqingshan Ancient Tomb is indeed likely to be a royal tomb.
On this side, Jiang Kun was also pulled up from the bottom of the thief hole by other archaeological teams. He slapped the dust on his body and said, "Professor, what should we do now? I see that the hole passing through the main tomb chamber seems to be in danger."
"You can't take it lightly." Professor Chen waved his hand and said, "Generally speaking, tombs that can use quicksand tombs as anti-theft method have other anti-theft methods in the tomb chamber. If you are not careful, you may be hit. Even if we want to take the risk in, we must be fully prepared. This is why I asked you to come first."
Jiang Kun nodded and said, "It's better, professor, you think carefully."
Afterwards, Professor Chen asked someone to get some professional equipment for Jiang Kun, and even portable oxygen cylinders. It seems that it is one of the protective measures that can deal with dangers in quicksand tombs.
Not long after, Jiang Kun, who could be said to be armed to his teeth, entered the thief again.
This time, he climbed straight into the thief hole leading to the tomb, and everyone outside was watching the walkie-talkie nervously and anxiously, waiting for Jiang Kun to come to the situation in the tomb.
"Teacher, professor, here, it's all full of sand." The intercom suddenly rang, and Jiang Kun's very surprised voice came out.
Everyone was anxious when they heard this, only Professor Chen was still calm. He seemed to have expected the situation in the tomb and immediately asked: "Look at the situation around the tomb, do the burial objects still exist?"
The intercom was silent for a few seconds before Jiang Kun said in a complicated manner: "Professor, some of the funeral objects placed around him are gone."
When everyone present said this, he looked a little dim. It seemed that the Daqingshan ancient tomb must have been robbed and completely robbed.
Only Professor Chen's expression remained unchanged and continued to ask: "Where is the coffin? Has it been opened?"
The intercom was silent for a while, and then Jiang Kun's surprise voice came: "Professor, the coffin has not been opened! It seems that it has never been passive."
When Professor Chen heard this, his eyes flashed with clarity and continued, "Okay, don't act rashly now, let's get out right away."
After a moment of pause, he added very seriously and seriously: "Remember, don't act rashly, especially don't get close to the coffin."
"Yes, I know Professor." Jiang Kun heard the seriousness in Professor Chen's voice and hurriedly responded.
Professor Chen didn't say anything more, turned to look at the several people in the archaeological team and said, "Everyone is ready, we will also go to the tomb."
"Master, are you going in person?" Chen Jing was shocked and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, the situation in this tomb is a bit special. I have to go down and check it out to determine the real situation. However, since the coffin has not moved, it means that the most precious burial objects may still be there, which is good news."
