Chapter 568: Opening the Coffin 2
Bai Lang's coffin was placed in a closed laboratory filled with nitrogen, waiting to be opened. Now researchers and archaeologists must quickly deal with the cultural relics unearthed after the opening of the two wives' coffins. As for the skeletons of these two wives, most of them will be re-closed and buried after autopsy and examination—now that ancient human skeletons are discovered, they are basically handled like this, and they are rarely placed for exhibition like in the past.
Not many skeletons of ancient people from the Eastern Han Dynasty or even before have been discovered. Most of them have rotted and decayed. In many cases, the skeletons are incomplete, leaving at most a few large bones. Especially the tombs of rich people or officials unearthed, most of them have been robbed, and most of the skeletons inside are not there at all.
Mawangdui is a miracle, and the relatively complete skeletons of Qin and Han are mostly ordinary civilians, and very few are dukes and nobles. Archaeology also found that the height of Han civilians in the Qin and Han Dynasties was quite high, which was definitely the first class in the world at that time, and according to the skeleton, it can be proved that the body is also quite strong.
The Cao Xiu tomb unearthed before the Bai Lang tomb is geographically very close and of the same era. Cao Xiu, who was unearthed at that time, did not have many bones left, but it can be estimated that this guy was over 1.7 meters tall and quite strong—the only pity is that Cao Xiu's weapons were not unearthed.
The real combat weapons unearthed in the Bai Lang tomb can be said to be the only one so far. In addition to the three places in the mainland, Japan is the most enthusiastic about this archaeology. Their NHK even took the initiative to pay part of the archaeological expenses, just wanting to make a documentary—this is no problem, just let them shoot it.
The Three Kingdoms story has always been a popular story theme in Japan, especially this time it was discovered that it was the tomb of the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms that had not been robbed, and most importantly, there were two famous beauties. The Japanese heart is thumping... Koei Tecmo also sent employees and invited experts to mix into the excavation site with NHK...
In the Three Kingdoms games of past dynasties, the top two generals are fixed—the first is Bai Lang and the second is Lü Bu. Bai Lang's martial arts are 100 and Lü Bu is 99, and the third will rotate between Guan and Zhang, but their martial arts will not exceed 95. However, the first general has always been GuanYu—who let his command and intelligence be quite good.
Lü Bu's command can be 80 or 90, that is, his intelligence is the same as ZhangFei's, and his domestic affairs and charm are not as good as ZhangFei's. Bai Lang only has charm that can be considered okay besides martial arts, and his command is the lowest in the whole game... Who let his paragraph be recorded by the official.
So in the game, this person can't bring many troops, and can't be a good governor, etc. His domestic affairs and strategy are completely incompetent, and he can only serve as a terrifying attacker on the battlefield. However, this person has shined in the Warriors game and belongs to the BUG-level role. More than ten years ago, CCTV also filmed a big work, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don't know why, whether it is the Japanese or the mainland stage, to the CCTV TV series and the past small serial pictures, Bai Lang is described and drawn as a heroic young man.
Probably because the Records of the Three Kingdoms says he is heroic and fierce? But the official history clearly wrote that his beard is like iron wire and his eyebrows are like tigers.
But in the TV series, he is a handsome military general, fortunately, he looks at least older than ZhaoYun of the same type.
After cleaning up the two wives' coffins, it was Bai Lang's coffin's turn to be opened. This laboratory has also been cleaned—because the coffin is large, the place has been reorganized. Black-pressed people crowded outside the glass closure of the semi-sunken laboratory, or stared at the real-time broadcast screen in the room, holding their breath and waiting for the scene of opening the coffin.
The first layer of stone outer coffin, the heavy stone slab is at least 1.5 tons. The small crane buckled the four corners and the center point and began to lift it up. After lifting it up, it was immediately moved to the suspended rack on the side and put down, and someone went up to check it quickly. The second layer is also a wooden outer coffin, but the wood used is very strange, with wood grain but knocking like gold and iron, "Yin-sinking wood..." The experts present also recognized that this was a wooden outer coffin made of hollowed-out whole wood. There is no doubt that if the tombs of Emperor Zhaolie and the villager were also excavated, there would definitely not be such luxury as this guy.
Between the stone outer coffin and the wooden outer coffin, it was also full of funeral objects. It seems that gold, silver, copper coins, and porcelain and pottery are more, and the cleaning personnel cleaned up a whole set of glazed figurines, typical Eastern Han drum and dance set figurines. "Eh?!" The cleaning archaeological personnel made an exclamation. What he held in his hand was a bright glazed pot—this thing must have been passed down from the Western Regions.
Next, some people cleaned up gold coins, which were obviously gold coins from foreign lands—one side was Latin characters and the other side was a side portrait, which looked like Roman gold coins but could not be confirmed which one it was. This is one of the proofs of exchanges between the East and the West, and everyone is very excited.
The personnel responsible for checking the outer coffin lid also made a sound, "There are impact marks, on the inside." The cleaning stone outer coffin personnel also shouted, "There are impact marks on the front side of the wooden outer coffin lid!" Photo archive. "Eh?! There is a bump during transportation? Impossible! This gap between the outer and inner outer coffins, if it vibrates... and this weight, it is really unlikely that it can be bumped to vibrate..." Everyone is talking, of course, it is also possible that it was bumped when it was placed in those years—this mark was found not to be new after further inspection.
The wooden outer coffin was also opened, revealing the wooden coffin inside and the second layer of funeral objects. The funeral objects in this second layer are mostly clothes. Time has made these clothes stick together, and from the first layer, the lid of Bai Lang's coffin is different from the two wives. Those fabrics that should have been covered on it have slipped to one side. The cleaning of the inner outer coffin also lasted for a period of time. There are clothes and quite a few bone products and pottery figurines, as well as quite a few jade pieces and jade cards.
The coffin is also Nanmu. Everyone didn't feel any abnormality, but in the second layer of Yin-sinking wood outer coffin, the same impact marks were seen on the inside of the outer coffin lid, and the same marks were on the coffin lid of Nanmu, and even caused damage to some paint and carvings on the lid.
Everyone was very nervous, almost stopping breathing and watching the staff wearing protective clothing and dragging air pipes move the crane hook and suction cup to the coffin lid not slowly or carefully, and tested the firmness one by one. From time to time, some people made a loud inhalation sound due to excessive breath holding.
The iron chain of the crane tightened little by little, and the coffin lid was gradually moved away and lifted up. At most, it only takes less than a minute, and everyone can see the "appearance" of this first fierce general of the late Han and Three Kingdoms. ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
