"The child is silent, and the strange power confuses the gods." When encountering strange things, don't blame ghosts and gods. The field of human exploration is not comprehensive enough. You must use a scientific perspective when looking at things.
Many people must have had a childhood shadow when they were young, and this shadow must include "ghosts". Many horror films contain impressive images of ghosts and monsters, which will leave an indelible shadow in the hearts of some children after watching them unconsciously. Six "zombies" from the Qing Dynasty once appeared in the Flame Mountains of Xinjiang. These "zombies" wore hats and had long braids, much like the "zombies" that appeared in Lin Zhengying's movies.
The Flame Mountain in Xinjiang is a place full of mythology. The Flame Mountain in "Journey to the West", one of the four famous classics, is based here. The climate here is hot all year round. Legend has it that when Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he kicked over the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and the alchemy furnace rolled from the sky to this place, forming the Flame Mountain.
It is called the Flame Mountain, not because there are flames in this area, but because it is located inland with little precipitation, the sun shines all year round, the daytime temperature is very high, and the climate is very hot.
In January 2009, some construction workers discovered six shriveled corpses while working. These corpses were very strange in shape, wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, hats, and long braids. The workers panicked when they saw this scene and hurriedly called the police. Except for some shriveling, these corpses were well preserved and looked very "alive", as if they would get up and "bite" in the next second. The clothes on the corpses were in good condition, and even the hair was well preserved.
The workers are very scared. They hope that the police can solve this problem for them and figure out the origin of these corpses. If there is no thorough investigation, everyone on the construction site will be too frightened to work, and no one wants "ghosts" to appear where they work. After the police arrived at the scene, they immediately conducted an inspection of the scene. Naturally, these corpses could not be zombies, and the police then took all six corpses away from the scene.
When archaeological experts saw these corpses, they were also surprised. It is indeed rare for corpses to be so completely preserved. Xinjiang's unique climatic conditions meant that these corpses did not rot, but were dehydrated and took on the shape of mummies. So where did these corpses come from, and what were their identities? Archaeological experts conducted a visit to the surroundings and asked some local residents. The experts found that these mummies were either dignitaries or ordinary people.
Experts have studied the tombs of these corpses. The tombs have no specifications and no burial objects. This is enough to indicate that these corpses are of unidentified people. Experts found by reviewing literature that troops were stationed here during the Qing Dynasty, and the state sent some officials to conduct research on the place. These corpses may have followed officials to provide some logistics services to the army, but they died unfortunately because they were not adapted to the local climate.
Due to restrictions, these deceased people could not return to their hometowns and could only be buried on the spot. These people were just ordinary people, so the burial method became very simple. There was no need for burial objects or the construction of mausoleums. Because the local climate is hot and dry all year round, there is a serious lack of moisture, and there is even less moisture in the soil, so these corpses have not decayed after hundreds of years.
Experts conducted a survey around the area where the body was found and found no grave. The workers of the construction team can finally let go of their worries. There are no "zombies" here and there are no other tombs. They can continue to work with confidence and boldness. After hearing the experts' explanations, the workers gradually lessened their fear of the mummies. The existence of these corpses also proves to the world that the Qing Dynasty was not as peaceful as it seemed, and there were still a group of people living with problems in their daily lives.
People in ancient times have always admired the return of fallen leaves to their roots. No matter how prosperous or miserable a person is outside, his final destination should be his hometown. These people traveled thousands of miles to Xinjiang, only to die in a foreign country without the chance to see their relatives at home. How sad this is. Since there is nothing in their tombs that can prove their identity, experts can only make simple judgments.
The excavation of these corpses also fully demonstrates that during the Qing Dynasty, Xinjiang was closely connected with the mainland and did not give up its development because of its remote location. Various historical facts also show that Xinjiang has always been inseparable from the mainland. Xinjiang has been our territory since ancient times and cannot be questioned. Every inch of the motherland is a blessing to the motherland.
Experts have refuted rumors about the "zombie" incident. Zombies are just people's fiction, and zombies do not exist in the real world. The "zombies" in film and television works are decorated with special effects to create a scary atmosphere. In real life, people still have to believe in science.
The Flame Mountain has become more famous as a result, attracting many tourists to visit, which has improved the local tourism economy to a certain extent. I also lamented the hardships faced by the working people in ancient times. There were too many things they had no control over, and the burial methods after death were so careless.
