During road works in the east of China in the Taizhou province at a depth of 2 m, builders came across stone blocks.
News from 2014 And the find may have been made even earlier. The process of opening such a block, which turned out to be a sarcophagus, was posted on the network:
To open, remove the lid, the worker had to work with a punch. The lid was placed on the mortar. It was torn off with crowbars. The scientific research process is called. There is no question about the moral or subtle material side of the question for such legalized grave-diggers.
I'll digress a little from the topic:
But still, let's see what the Chinese scientists saw inside:
Promotional video:
Inside was a mummy, immersed in some kind of brown liquid. Its composition is not specified. But I immediately recall the mention of the Tisulskaya find - also a certain sarcophagus (found in 1969 near the village of Rzhavchik, Tisulsky district). It allegedly also contained some kind of liquid.
The mummy was recovered and no further information was received about this find. Presumably, the mummy of a Ming Dynasty woman, 700 years old, was in the sarcophagus. About the found artifacts, too, nothing is reported, except for the ring that was on the woman's hand. According to the Chinese press, five such mummies have been found since 1979 and 2008.
An interesting observation in clothing. Slippers are sewn, stitched like on a sewing machine, or indeed on a sewing machine. And this is 700 years ago? Perhaps those who say that China's history is too young are right. Not there for a thousand years. Or, on the contrary, that earlier the development of technology and technology were comparable to ours as in the middle of the 20th century.
There are also references to the Tarim mummies of white people in China. Some of those found are in the museum in Urumqi. There is little information about this fact, as well as about the fact that the Scythians lived throughout southern Siberia, and their place of residence was called the Andronovo culture. It turns out that they lived to the south.
I am a supporter of the intermediate version that China has an ancient history, it is different. It was rewritten after the event that buried this arch (pictured below) as one of many ancient structures:
Translation from Chinese news:
There are a number of photographs taken by the builders during these excavations.
What interesting details can we see? The arch was completely buried in clay, which is strange. This is not a headstone or part of a burial. If this is a memorial structure, then it should be on the surface. It has an inscription on it.
1. Apparently, it is written here that this is an arch of chastity. From the inscription, you can determine the dialect of Chinese and the approximate age of the arch. Or maybe it even says about the date. 2. Plates with lions are pulled to the arch by some kind of iron ties. And on top they were smeared with a solution. The solution fell off, exposing the metal. It can be seen that it is rusted. On the other side of the arch, the metal is still under the stone. 3. Examining the photographs, I noticed that the arch slabs and its elements are inside a different color (visible on the chips). The slabs were probably plastered under limestone. I wonder what kind of breed is inside?
1. The metal tie is visible here too. 2. The arch is at the edge of the hill. It is possible that there are other structures in the depths.
China does not advertise its historical findings very much. It is possible that few people translate Chinese publications. In general, one has to learn about the pyramid-mausoleums in Xi'an from the blogs of individual tourists who have been there. There is no popularization of the topic. If there are videos or articles, then they are so superficial …
