As one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, China has long discovered the importance of investigating ancient cultural relics. Epigraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty had an academic system, which was more developed in the Qing Dynasty and became the predecessor of China archaeology. Tomb-raiding has been going on for a long time, and after the collapse of rites in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were more and more heavy funerals. Because there are so many cultural relics in the ancient tomb, the line of tomb robbery came into being.
Shaanxi Fengxiang 1 Qin Cemetery is the largest tomb in the pre-Qin period found at present. But this tomb was found to have 247 stolen holes, of which more than a dozen directly entered the tomb. Luoyang shovel was invented from the line of grave robbery, which is said to be in Ma Po Village of Mangshan Mountain. In 12 years of the Republic of China, there was a man named Li who robbed tombs for a living. When he went to the market, he saw a man digging a hole with a shovel. When the shovel came out, he brought out a lot of dirt. He had a brainwave and went back to ponder the design himself, and Luoyang shovel was born.
There are so many people robbing tombs, the easiest way is not to put gold, silver and jewels in the tombs. But the ancients did not want to. They think that people can enjoy it after death, so they carefully designed various organs in the ancient tomb. The ancient tomb was also designed in an extremely secret place. The ancient tomb has formed a sealed environment underground for many years. The more sealed the environment, the better the cultural relics inside are preserved. Experts are cautious about ancient tombs, and most of the time they are afraid to see the destroyed ones.
Eggs are laid by hens with a hard shell. Because of its rich nutrition, low price and high yield, it has become one of the foods that people often eat today. Eggs can be said to be a common food in modern life, and they sometimes appear in ancient tombs. At present, the earliest unearthed eggs were found in the tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 2,800 years ago.
Eggs from the Western Zhou Dynasty were unearthed in a tomb group in Jiangxi Province, and the jars filled with eggs were called "Western Zhou Geometric Imprint Hard Pottery Bottles". Archaeologists didn't see the eggs until they were unearthed, because the eggs had been petrified for too long. These eggs have thin shells. In order to protect the eggs inside, the experts did not take them out, but kept them as they were. Many netizens have speculated on these eggs, and some people are curious about the taste of eggs more than 2,000 years ago. Some people even asked if chickens could hatch.
None of this is feasible. There are eggs in the ancient tomb, and experts will be afraid and expect. Because these eggs are precious not only in modern times, but also in ancient times. They don't have modern technology, so eggs are naturally scarce. Those who put eggs in ancient tombs are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people basically don't put them in tombs. At the same time, these eggs have been exposed to the air for many years and may melt. If it is touched, it is more likely to melt or directly turn into a pile of ashes. On the other hand, eggs are of great research value, and it is precisely because of their fragility and protection that archaeologists dare not touch them.
