Chapter 1186 The Mausoleum of Genghis Khan

In this temporary headquarters, it can be said that there are the most complete historical materials about Mongolia in China. Even the Mongolian-related stone carving murals in the Alzhai Grottoes have been reprinted as reference materials.

The process of archaeological excavation is actually like solving a case. Often a small clue can lead to a shocking [answer] case.

At this time, Director Guo gave an order, and several interns who stayed in the headquarters rummaged in Shushan Wenhai.

"This picture... looks a little familiar?"

Zhuang Rui in the mausoleum will also frown and observe the pattern on the golden coffin. When he observed the golden coffin with Reiki before, he only noticed that there was a beautiful picture on the surface of the coffin, but he did not examine it carefully. Now when he looked carefully, there was a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it

This is a siege picture in the era of cold weapons. Countless soldiers are attacking a huge city with weapons, and the gate of the city is closed, and arrows on the wall are like rain. From time to time, there are shadows of big stones in the air, and the siege suffer heavy casualties.

These are very ordinary siege scenes, which are not surprising, but a picture not far from the gate attracts Zhuang Rui.

not far from the city gate, there are two very tall trees. In the middle of the trees, they are bound with a lot of ropes. Many people keep pulling back the ropes connecting the two trees, pulling the two trees into an arc.

The next picture shows that in the middle of those ropes, there is a huge thick wood, and the distance between the two trees is about eight meters. In this way, it is equivalent to forming a huge slingshot of two trees, and the thick wood in the middle is a huge "bow and arrow".

Judging from the degree of curvature of the two trees, as long as the people behind them let go and believe that the "bow and arrow" will shoot at the city with thunderous momentum, and the direction of the "arrow" is the gate that can't be attacked for a long time.

"Why is this picture so familiar?"

Professor Meng, who stood beside Zhuang Rui, was a little confused to reach out and scratch his head, but found that he was blocked by the oxygen mask. He couldn't help laughing at himself and said to Zhuang Rui, "I'm old, and my memory is not as good as hard work. Xiaozhuang, you have worked hard in the Mongolian history in the past Really?"

Professor Meng can conclude that he must have seen similar or the same picture, but he can't remember which period it happened in Mongolia.

"This morning...this seems to be..."

Zhuang Rui was also slapped on his head through the oxygen mask. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and Zhuang Rui finally remembered what this picture was.

"I remember that this is the Siege of Xixia!"

Zhuang Rui exclaimed, and then patted his head with regret. He struggled all night before he learned the identity of the owner of the tomb from the golden arrow in the coffin. If he had noticed the relief picture on the coffin, why did he do this?

In this picture, Zhuang Rui recorded this famous battle on the many Mongolian stone carvings in the Alzhai Grottoes that Zhuang Rui had seen not long ago, and it was often mentioned in the secret history of Mongolia, which was described as a great victory of Gigi Khan.

That was when Genghis Khan was conquering Xixia, he met a very strong city, which could not be attacked for a long time and died heavily. Just as Genghis Khan was careless, he suddenly found that there were three big trees lined up not far from the gate.

Genghis Khan's clever move ordered people to cut down one of the three trees, and then tied tough cowhide tendons to the other two trees and let the hercules in the army pull the cowhide tendons to use the three trees as a siege weapon.

Sure enough, just after the "bow and arrow" was shot, the gate was forced and successfully captured, which was extremely important for Xixia. Later historians commented that this battle was the most important battle for Genghis Khan to destroy Xixia.

Such a battle that has become the battle of the destruction of Western Xia is also the proud work of Genghis Khan's Northern Expedition in his life. It is to leave pictures of the battle in many places to promote the brilliant achievements of Genghis Khan's military use of God.

"Xixia siege battle?! Well... isn't this... this... Genghis Khan?"

Although Professor Meng is old and weak, his brain is not as bad as he said. As soon as Zhuang Rui's words fell, his words also blurted out at the same time.

"Xixia siege battle?!"

Also shocked and inexplicably, there is Director Guo on the ground, because in front of him at this moment, there is a stone carving rubbing that is very similar to the picture on the golden coffin, especially the two trees, which are so conspicuous in the picture.

"Difficult, "...is it really the tomb of Genghis Khan?" Director Guo muttered to himself, with an unbelievable look on his face. The relief painting on the coffin made the balance of judging the identity of the owner of the tomb suddenly tilted in his heart.

You should know that these narrative pictures that can be engraved on the coffin or the wall of the tomb must be to praise the great achievements of the tomb owner's life. Even their descendants will not lead the achievements of the ancestors.

"There are also relief paintings on the wall,"" At this time, Dr. Ren's voice sounded in the headset. After signing the confidentiality agreement, they were also qualified to enter the second golden tomb with Zhuang Rui at the same time.

The camera followed Dr. Ren's words and aimed at the wall around which reflected dazzling golden light. Sure enough, on the wall of the main tomb, there were also pictures of various war scenes, which were delicate with a pen, like a picture on paper and silk.

"Det. Yun, this... These golden depictions must not be damaged "..." After seeing those pictures, Zhuang Rui's first reaction was to pull the Director Yun of the security department. If the previous "forced demolition team" comes again, it will be the largest in the history of archaeology and cultural relics in China. Tragedy.

"Yes, yes, these pictures are different from the previous golden walls and have great research value. Minister Ouyang, you have to be accurate now. You must not let them suffer any damage,..."

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Meng also reacted. He did not find Director Yun around him, but directly talked to Ouyang Zhenwu of the ground headquarters.

"Mr. Meng, don't worry, the state has always attached great importance to the protection of cultural relics. I can assure you that not only all the gold-made items in this tomb, but also the previous gold will definitely maintain their original appearance and will not suffer any damage, "..."

Ouyang Zhenwu's voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Moreover, at the right time, the country will be announced to the world by this major archaeological excavation. These funerary objects will also appear in people's sight one day,"" Ouyang Zhenwu said It's not a lie. Although this batch of gold reserves is huge, the country will not be able to do without them. I haven't found it before, isn't it still developing in the economy?

National leaders are not fools. After these gold are given artistic life, their value is not only measured by gold itself. If you really want to sell it, I'm afraid it is to multiply the value of gold by ten times a hundred times, and there are also many foreign rich collectors competing for it.

And when these gold items are displayed to the world at the right time, the sensational effect will far exceed any archaeological exploration in the history of the world, which can not only improve the national image, but also show the strong muscles of the country's gold reserves to the world in disguise.

"The Mausoleum of Genghis Khan is the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. I didn't expect it to be here..."

"Haha, I didn't expect that the old man was about to be unearthed, and he could catch up with this grand event in the archaeological world?"

"Yes, this archaeology will rewrite the history of world archaeology. I suggest that a grand press conference be held immediately to announce the news to the world..."

After the pattern on the golden coffin was confirmed, there was a cheer in the headquarters, which troubled everyone for more than a month, and finally revealed the [answer] case at this moment.

Although only such a picture has been found and there is no more conclusive evidence, everyone believes that no emperor will engrave other people's achievements on his coffin.

"How... why is it Chengge Sihan Mausoleum?"

Perhaps the one who laughs the most bitterly in the headquarters now is Director Guo. Although he is also very happy when he finds Genghis Khan Mausoleum, Director Guo can't be happy when he thinks of the bet with Zhuang Rui.

"Xiao Guo, what's wrong? This is a discovery that subverts the history of archaeology. Why is it so sad?

Minister Ouyang, who was thinking about how to announce this major archaeological discovery to the world, turned around and saw Director Guo's ugly face. He couldn't help but be a little strange. All the cultural relics in the tomb would be under his jurisdiction. Why did he still put on such a bitter face?

"Minister Ouyang, I "... I once made a bet with Zhuang Rui that if this imperial mausoleum is the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, I will..."

After Director Guo heard Ouyang Zhenwu's question, it was as big as a fight, but he couldn't avoid it. At the moment, he hesitated to talk about the gambling between him and Zhuang Rui.

"This child, nonsense..."

After hearing this, Ouyang Zhenwu immediately laughed and scolded Zhuang Rui, but then said, "Xiao Guo, our government can't say nothing. We must do what we promised, but we must pay attention to safety when borrowing, and don't lose cultural relics..."

In the status of Ouyang Zhenwu, he is not afraid of what others will say for personal gain. Since Zhuang Rui and Director Guo once had such a bet, he did not mind helping his nephew.

What's more, Zhuang Rui found the credit of Genghis Khan Mausoleum. Ouyang Zhenwu still has a headache. How can he reward him? Just use this to settle it.
