"The hero was the world in his lifetime, and after his death, he was also a golden horse. Genghis Khan did not humiliate his great reputation..."
Looking at this tomb, which is not very big, but gives people a magnificent feeling, Professor Meng can't help sighing.
Although the whole tomb is not a golden bunk, the oncoming atmosphere makes people really feel the great pride of this great emperor.
Before his death, Genghis Khan went on a southern expedition to the north. He had never met the enemy in his life. He showed his martial arts all over the world. After his death, he hung a long bow on the wall. A different kind of grassland pride rose in the hearts of everyone.
"Isfahan carpet, my God, how is such a big one woven? How did you save it?
Dr. Ren's voice suddenly sounded in the tomb, interrupted everyone's remembs, and also led the eyes of Zhuang Rui and others to the carpet under the middle coffin of the tomb.
This carpet not only carries all the area of the huge coffin, but also extends far out, covering an area of 15 or 16 square meters.
This kind of carpet, which combines a variety of materials such as wool, cotton, silk, gold wire and silver wire, is composed of vertical lines, horizontal lines and diagonal diagonal lines, and repeatedly forms a central pattern, which looks extremely magnificent.
Although Zhuang Rui majored in archaeology, his industry is all related to antiques, which is not strange to this kind of Persian carpet that entered China from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Then he asked, "Brother Ren, this is the origin of the Persian carpet, the Isfahan carpet?"
"Yes, it must be, this... How on earth is this preserved?"
During his doctoral study, Dr. Ren mainly studied the formation of the Silk Road, which had a far-reaching impact on the Tang Dynasty and other countries in the world. As one of the most famous commodities on the Silk Road... Persian carpet, Ren Chunqiang also had quite in-depth research.
Isfahan City, located on the Iranian plateau at an altitude of 1600 meters, is an ancient cultural city with a long history.
The best carpets in the world are all from Isfahan, which are used in Persian palaces, European royal families, the Holy See and aristocracy, or spread on the ground or hung on the wall like precious oil paintings.
The fame of Persian carpets today is largely due to Isfahan, which uses the best Colk wool in the world and is woven on the warp and weft lines of silk. It is still considered to be the best Persian carpet in the world.
The preservation period of ordinary carpets is only two or three hundred years at most. Today, like Isfahan carpets in the 16th and 17th centuries, it is extremely rare.
At an auction in the United Kingdom last year, a Isfahan carpet with a length and width of only 60 times 80 centimeters was sold at a high price of $6 million.
It can be imagined that if a whole carpet as big as the tomb is displayed, what kind of shock will it bring to the international collection community?
"Ocaire, you are responsible for handling this carpet. The others will do the antiseptic treatment of these weapons first, and put the coffin at the end..."
Professor Meng is a little disapproving of Dr. Ren's gaffe. The value of any of the items in this tomb will not be lower than this carpet. The reason why he did not support Ren Chunqiang like Zhuang Rui is that his disciple's vision is not open enough.
After listening to Professor Meng's instructions, everyone was busy one after another. These gold and silver in the tomb, especially iron, have a high probability of oxidation after being sealed for thousands of years. Now it looks extremely sharp. As soon as they take out the tomb, they may become rusty.
Zhuang Rui walked to the weapon rack and reached out to hold a saber with a rotten scabbard in his hand. As early as he observed the tomb with Reiki, Zhuang Rui noticed that the aura contained in the saber was extremely strong.
This is a typical early Mongolian saber. The blade is thinner than the modern military saber, only about two fingers wide, the weight is lighter, the lines are very smooth, and the handle is slightly bent in the direction of the blade. In this way, the curved handle is more conducive to the rider's control and is not easy to get out.
"Xiaozhuang, come on, try the knife..."
When Professor Meng saw Zhuang Rui playing with the saber, he couldn't help laughing. He took out a pile of kraft paper used to wrap the cultural relics and put it on the ground in front of Zhuang Rui.
"Good, let's take a look at the weapon used by Genghis Khan, compared with my fixed lightsaber..."
Zhuang Rui agreed and carefully held the handle of the saber with his right hand with gloves. Although the wooden handle of the saber originally inlaid with various gems had decayed, there was also an iron handle.
"Wow!"
Zhuang Rui let out a muffled shout, raised the knife high in his right hand, and cut it off the high kraft paper on the ground with a fierce knife.
"Dong..."
The sharp knife light flashed an arc in the light, quietly cut into the kraft paper, and then cut to the ground again because of inertia, making a crisp sound.
"Damn it, is it so fast?"
Zhuang Rui didn't expect the saber to be so fast. He quickly pulled the knife out of the pile of paper and was relieved to see that the blade was not damaged. If the cultural relics were damaged by this experiment, it would be an extremely serious archaeological accident.
"The magic weapon, the real magic weapon!"
The people in the tomb have not yet recovered from this scene. In the headquarters 100 meters above Zhuang Rui and others, an old man danced and shouted, looking extremely excited.
You should know that the smelting technology of steel in ancient times is much behind that of modern times, but I don't know why, many weapons handed down from ancient times are extremely sharp and immortal. What substances are mixed in it, even with modern technology, it is impossible to know.
However, such magic weapons are rarely unearthed, just like Zhuang Rui's fixed lightsaber. Even if there are, they can only do some optical tests, which cannot be given to these experts for long-term research, so there has always been a lack of relevant research items.
This old man is an expert in the research of cold weapons in ancient times. At present, when he saw that the weapons thousands of years ago could still be so sharp, he suddenly became excited and couldn't wait to put his hand into the screen and grab the saber.
Professor Meng heard the shouts of the headquarters in the headset and couldn't help laughing and saying, "Lao Li, don't be impatient. There are so many weapons, some of which you have studied..."
Not to mention anything else, it can be judged from the carpets and weapons in this tomb that all the items placed here are the highest peak of world craftsmanship that Genghis Khan could achieve at that time.
I'm afraid that every item here is a rare precious orphan product in the world. The so-called orphan product, that is to say, there is no same item in this world.
After witnessing the sharpness of the thousand-year-old saber, the staff in the tomb room were also very excited, but when they were conserving and sorting out these cultural relics, they were more and more gentle, because of a carelessness, perhaps millions of objects were damaged.
After more than five hours of busy work, the cultural relics placed outside in the tomb have been embalmed, that is, the carpet other than the coffin has been carefully maintained by Dr. Ren lying on the ground.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Professor Meng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's take a break first. These items will be kept in the tomb for the time being. After the coffin is opened, it will be transported out..."
Zhuang Rui walked to Professor Meng, who was standing in front of the huge coffin, and asked, "Teacher, are you ready to open the coffin?" This big guy is not easy to drive..."
This coffin with the foundation is as high as two or two meters. Standing on the ground, you can't open it at all. You have to put up a ladder and exert force from several directions at the same time to lift the coffin cover.
However, there is a premise, that is, it is necessary to find the combination of the coffin and the coffin. Just now, Professor Meng has been observing in front of the coffin, that is, to judge the position of the coffin.
"Well, it should be almost..."
Professor Meng nodded and pointed to the two parts of the head and tail of the coffin and said, "There are eight tenon and tenon wooden nails, but there is no gap in this joint, and the crowbar can't be inserted at all. I'm afraid it will damage the coffin. Alas, it's a pity that
Looking at this coffin, which is as solid as iron stone, beautiful in shape, and glows with a ray of golden light, Professor Meng can't help shaking his head. It is just this coffin board, which is a precious cultural relic worth tens of millions.
You should know that Jinsi Nanmu is rot-resistant and insect-proof. It is not cold in winter. The texture is warm and soft, and the texture is delicate and accessible. It has always been royal supplies, such as the Jinsi Nan Buddha niche in the Yonghe Palace in Beijing, which is one of the three treasures of the palace.
It is the famous old man, Master Qianlong, who once left a bad reputation on the Jinsi Nanmu. In those years, Qianlong took a fancy to the Jinsi Nanmu of the Ming Mausoleum, so he repaired the Ming Mausoleum as a cover and removed the good materials to build the Shouling for himself.
It is indeed recorded in historical materials that Qianlong repaired the Ming Mausoleum and transported back a large number of materials of the Ming Mausoleum, including Jinsi Nanmu. When Zhuang Rui visited the Mausoleum of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he had seen with his own eyes that the building materials of the Qing Mausoleum contained a large
Since Jinsi Nanmu was on the verge of extinction at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no new wood in the market at all. Even if there are, they are old antiques, so the value on the market is not less than that of small leaf sandalwood furniture.
"Teacher, this tomb has been open for a long time. I think it's better to open the coffin?"
If it is put in ordinary times, Zhuang Rui may also feel sorry for these golden nanmu, but thinking about the crystal coffin in the coffin and the national jade seal that carries China's imperial culture for several years, even if the whole of this exquisite coffin is dismantled, Zhuang Rui will not be distressed.
"Okay, ready to open the coffin..."
Professor Meng is also a decisive person. Relatively speaking, the protection work of this archaeological excavation has been achieved to the extreme, and a little loss can also be covered.
