Jiangsu found an ancient tomb in the water, which contained 3000 famous swords. Why do grave robbers flinch?

Helv Tomb, Jiangsu Underwater Tomb, deter grave robbers, because they can't successfully approach or open the tomb door for the time being, but also for the safety of their lives. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. and the tomb of Lu are built underwater, so it is difficult for ordinary people to dive to the bottom. First of all, according to relevant historical records, there are 3,000 swords, 3,000 mouths, 3,000 dishes and 3,000 fish sausages. It can be guessed from the narrative of this passage that the number of this sword in the ancient tomb should be around 9,000, not just 3,000.

The underwater tombs found in Jiangsu are the father of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and the tomb of Lu. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu was at war with the two armies of Yue, and Wu Jun was unfortunately defeated by the other side because he fell into a plot designed by Gou Jian, the king of Yue. During this period, He Lu, who was still the king of Wu at that time, died of excessive blood loss because his thumb was broken by the enemy in the battle.

Fu Cha, his son, later destroyed Yue State, captured Gou Jian and built this tomb of He Lv for his father. He Lv's favorite sword was also placed in the tomb as a funerary object, including the very famous fish intestine sword. Secondly, in order to prevent thieves from coveting and stealing, the builder of Helv Tomb wisely built the tomb underwater, so this underwater tomb is also called Tiger Hill and Sword Pool.

The water in Jianchi is about five or six meters high. The water pressure is not only high, but also covered with unusually thick silt. Even in modern society, diving into the water with some scientific instruments will end in failure because of low visibility. Not to mention that there was no equipment to rely on at that time, if you only rely on your own water, nine times out of ten it will not work.

2. Once the boulder at the tomb gate is pried open, it is likely to cause a large area of landslide. On the other hand, even if there is no water in the tomb, no one dares to open it easily because there is the first obstacle. From ancient times to the present, the water in He Lu's tomb naturally fell into the water several times, that is, the water level dropped to reveal the tomb door. It is said that Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty witnessed the true face of the tomb gate of Tiger Hill and Sword Pool.

In the early 1950s, there was also a water level drop. Archaeologists used drilling equipment to remove silt. After seeing the tomb door, they were stopped when they tried to take measures to open the tomb. The reason is that once the boulder in front of the tomb is removed, it is likely to cause the collapse of the whole tiger hill and ancient tomb, with serious consequences.

The stone placed by ancient craftsmen in front of the tomb, also known as Qianshi, is only about two acres in size. It is said that in order to keep secret, after the tomb door was blocked by stones, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, ordered all craftsmen who knew about it to be beheaded. For the protection of cultural relics and nature, the archaeological team had to stop digging, and the grave robbers could do nothing and dared not make a move.

It is said that there is a pool made of mercury in He Lu's tomb, which will threaten the life of grave robbers. In addition, according to the relevant written records in the historical material Yue Jue Shu, like the Lishan tomb of Qin Shihuang, there is also a highly toxic substance mercury in the tomb of He Lu. ? The copper coffin is triple, and the mercury pool is six feet? That is, a six-foot-high mercury pool was built in the tomb. The purpose should be to destroy the enemy with the toxicity of mercury once the grave robbers open the tomb door.

Therefore, even knowing that there are precious funerary objects in the tomb, grave robbers are discouraged. After all, life costs more. It can be seen that the ancients also made great efforts in building tombs for the sake of peace after death.
