When archaeological experts opened Zhu Yuanzhang’s tenth son
Zhu Tan's coffin time
I couldn't open my eyes because of the unpleasant smell inside.
Tears kept flowing down
Go through hardships and dangers
In the end, Zhu Tan’s body was revealed in front of everyone.
The whole incident was wrapped in a gold satin four-piece dragon robe.
A white jade bullet is tied around the waist
Zhu Tan also wears a pair of gold hairpins on her head
A nine-flow crown shocked archaeological experts
This is China so far
The only crown food used by the prince
A thousand-year lamp was also unearthed from the tomb
Dagang wood carvings of ceremonial vessels include numerous famous vessels
These famous utensils
Most of them were at that time
Daily utensils used by people in the Ming Dynasty
These unearthed famous vessels are of great archaeological value
A gold toothpick with two spoons of Jinwang was also unearthed.
One can imagine the daily life of Zhu Tan, King of Luhuang at that time.
How extravagant it is
What surprised archaeologists even more was that
A set of Four Treasures of the Study was also unearthed from the tomb.
There are also precious cultural relics such as precious Go calligraphy and paintings.
As for
How was the tomb of Zhu Tan, King of Luhuang, discovered?
This also needs to start from Zoucheng City, Shandong Province
Let’s talk about a tomb robbery case that happened

Those who participated in the excavation of ancient tombs at that time
It's the local villagers
These 10 ancient tombs are located at the southern foot of Jiulong Mountain in Zoucheng City
There is no airtight wall in the world
Soon the villagers started digging ancient tombs randomly.
It was severely stopped by the local cultural relics protection bureau.
Experienced archaeologists can tell at a glance
This ancient tomb that was stolen must not be simple.
It should be an imperial-level tomb
Because he has Jiulong Mountain on his back
And this tomb happened to be built at the head of Jiulong Mountain
Opposite Jiulong Mountain there is another Mount Zhu
Connected to Kowloon
The meaning of playing with beads
Through field exploration of this ancient tomb
Experts are convinced
This ancient tomb must be a Ming Dynasty tomb
However, due to conditions at that time, it was not allowed
The country does not advocate the excavation of imperial-level tombs.
As for why
the reason is simple
The cultural relics underground have left their original environment
if not protected
It is very likely that a precious cultural relic will be destroyed instantly.
Dingling excavated by Guo Moruo
is a typical example
Because no protective measures were taken in advance
Eventually, some cultural relics were instantly oxidized
Archaeological excavations at Dingling
It has also become a major tragedy in the history of Chinese archeology.
Because this ancient tomb was robbed
Has been separated from the original protective environment
Therefore, archaeological experts combine the actual situation
It is also for the protection of cultural relics
Finally, this excavated ancient tomb
Conducted rescue excavations
When archaeological experts prepare to excavate this ancient tomb
But he was trapped in a huge dirt pit that was completely different from his eyes.
blushing with anger
It turned out that before the archaeological experts arrived at the scene
The villagers have already used explosives
Blow this place up into a mess
Archaeological experts at this time
I started to murmur in my heart.
For such large tombs
Everything has always been empty-eyed
When the Qin Jinggong Tomb in Shaanxi was excavated
Tomb robbers have dug more than 250 holes.
Has this ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty been robbed?
The archaeological team members had the attitude of giving it a try
Archaeological excavation of this ancient tomb began
When they dug to a depth of more than 20 meters
Archaeologists made a major discovery
They found corpse strips arranged from east to west
Experts thought they had discovered the tomb door
But because it was too dark in the cave,
Archaeologists can only continue to excavate
When they dig to 30 meters
Suddenly a collapse occurred
Facing a sudden landslide
The archaeological team was unexpected
However, it was precisely because of this landslide that
The gatehouse of the ancient tomb is revealed
This made the archaeological team very excited
However
The wall in front of the gatehouse blocks the entrance to the tomb gate.
To enter the tomb
We need to dismantle this wall.
In order to open this sealed wall
Archaeological experts have gone to great lengths to
But soon the archaeological team members had smiles on their faces again
It turns out that the sealing wall is complete
It means that this ancient tomb has not been stolen.
After more than 6 months of archaeological excavation
Archaeological experts finally found the door to the ancient tomb
The tomb door was found
However, archaeological experts have used various methods
But still can't open it
at this time
They found a few more people
Push the door of the ancient tomb together
In the end, the tomb door didn’t move at all
This is strange
Could it be that the wooden door is blocked by running stones?
Then the archaeological experts looked at the wooden door again.
Finally found the reason
It turned out that the wooden door was held down by the huge stone above.
So much so that the wooden door sank under the pressure.
This is the first time that archaeologists have encountered this situation.
Totally confused
if the stone is removed
The entire tomb may collapse
By then everyone may become a burial object
After some discussion
Archaeological experts decide
Cut a corner of the right door of the tomb door
Then
Let a thin staff member enter the tomb
Open the right door from the inside
The left door stays put
As the pillar of the tomb
This can avoid the risk of tomb collapse
When the archaeological team entered the tomb chamber
I was shocked by the sight in front of me
The first thing that catches the eye is a ten thousand year lamp
Outline: Ten Thousand Years Lamp is what we often call an eternal lamp.
It is mainly used to consume oxygen in the tomb
Make the tomb into a vacuum state
This way the body and grave goods can be better preserved.
Behind the perpetual lamp
There are rickety seats
The floor of the tomb has long been covered with mud.
Can be vaguely seen
Wooden figurines that were not completely submerged
These phenomena also told the archaeological team members
This tomb has not been robbed
Then in the previous life of the tomb
Unusual tomb figurines discovered
With weapons in hand
Someone playing drums and playing music
The drum in Mu Yong’s hand has a weird shape
It’s not a drum commonly used in the Central Plains at all.
He is thin in the middle
The two thick ends and the sound of playing the suona
Just like having a funeral in real life
Next, the archaeological team
We have to face another huge challenge
There is no light source in the tomb
In order to carry out archaeological excavations well
Archaeological experts decided to leave no stone unturned
Also let the tomb be lit up
But the conditions at that time were limited
Where to find a generator?
Just when everyone is at their wits' end
An archaeological team member stood up
Said I thought of a way
I have a friend who is on the screening team
Because the screening team has a generator
We just need to get some light bulbs
Just install it indoors
Then the archaeological team called in the projection team
This archaeological excavation
The screening team contributed a large part
In this way, the tomb chamber was successfully connected to the hall.
archaeological excavation
It also began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Then the light illuminates
Archaeological team members
Start cleaning the cultural relics in the mud one by one
While everyone is busy cleaning up cultural relics
An archaeological team member suddenly shouted
Look what I dug up
Everyone quickly gathered around
It turned out to be a wooden box
The wooden box is covered with gilt patterns
It's a pity that because of the age
Most of the gold foil has fallen off
When the archaeologists carefully opened the wooden box,
There is actually a small wooden box inside
Be an archaeologist
After opening the innermost wooden box,
A wooden seal appeared in front of everyone
In previous archaeological excavations
If you find a seal
There is a high chance that the identity of the tomb owner will be revealed.
To this day, the seal is engraved with the four characters "Treasure of King Lu"
King Lu on the seal
Which King of Lu in history is he?
This reminded the archaeological team of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang's tenth son
Zhu Di at that time was named King of Lu
Moreover, Zoucheng at that time
It is within Zhu Di's jurisdiction
In order to more confidently confirm the identity of the tomb owner
Archaeological experts have reviewed a large amount of historical materials
Finally, such a record was found in Yanzhou Prefecture
Huangming Luhuang Wangyuan
25 miles northeast of the county
Jiulong Mountain
There are also relevant records in the Zouxian Chronicle of Kangxi
Minglu Huangwang Garden in Jiulong Mountain
Through cultural relics and documents unearthed from tombs
expert judgment
This ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty
It should be the tomb of Zhu Tan, King of Lu Huang
After the surprise
Intense archaeological excavation work is still ongoing
Just at this time
The archaeological team made another amazing discovery
He actually unearthed two iron keys
Expert guess
These two keys must be the keys to wooden doors in later generations.
At first, experts wanted to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, the wooden door opened easily
When the tomb door is opened in later generations
Archaeological team members continue to conduct more in-depth archaeological excavations
Just at this time
Zhu Tan's coffin appeared in front of everyone
However
Zhu Tan’s coffin is not in the original position of the coffin bed
Could it be that Zhu Tan’s coffin was stolen by tomb robbers?
Just when everyone is doubting
I saw water everywhere on the ground
Expert guess
The coffin must have been soaked in water and then floated to the side.
It became what it is now
Because in the previous life the archaeological team members did not gain much,
get
So I can only put my last hope in the future.
Sure enough, they have just entered the Hereafter
I found a themed wooden box
After opening the wooden box
An artifact inside shocked everyone present
Nine noodles
This is a fairly well-preserved facial mask
There are only prince-level figures
Only then can you use this kind of nine-rate nine-bead noodles
This nine-liu crown
It is also China so far
The only crown food used by the prince
on the ground of the hereafter
The archaeological team also discovered a large number of jade belts
Jade cups and various gold and silver utensils
It is not difficult to see from these funerary objects
How luxurious is the daily life of King Zhu Tan of Luhuang?
on the ground
The archaeological team also discovered
Stationery supplies from the Ming Dynasty
Complete collection of Go calligraphy and painting
When the archaeological excavation comes to an end
Archaeological experts decided to open the coffin of King Zhutan of Luhuang
The moment when the archaeological team opened the coffin
I was blinded by the strange smell in the coffin.
Expert guess
It is probably related to the gas produced by the corrosion of corpses
I saw the corpse of King Zhutan of Luhuang facing north
The body was wrapped in a gold satin four-piece dragon robe.
Because of conditions
The archaeological team could only remove Zhutan’s quilts and robes
put in reservoir
Clean with clean water
When cleaning up the bedding on Zhu Tan's lower body,
Another major discovery was made
Underneath the red sandalwood bones
19 Hongwu Tongbao gold coins were discovered
Among the many Lu kings in the Ming Dynasty
Only King Zhu Tan of Luhuang died during the Hongwu period.
This ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the tomb of Zhutan.
But what puzzles experts is that
They covered all the corners of the tomb
All cleaned up
But Zhu Tan’s epitaph was never found.
to this day
Zhu Tan’s epitaph is still an unsolved mystery
Because Zhu Tan was the first person in the Ming Dynasty
The deceased prince Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to
Finally, the famous politician Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty
The mausoleum site was selected for Zhu Tan
What do you think of the tomb of King Zhu Tan of Lu?
