Lijiang, Yunnan is a beautiful tourist attraction, but what attracts people's attention recently is not its scenery, but a group of ancient tombs with a long history. This tomb group was also discovered by accident. It was discovered when a school in Yulong County was building a playground. At first it was some strange sarcophagus, so I reported it to the relevant government. Immediately, the staff began to study, and they thought there might be a large tomb group here. After the approval of the relevant departments, the site was cleaned and protected.
The area where this tomb group is located is sand, so the human bones in this tomb group have basically not suffered any major damage and are still well preserved. This archaeological excavation is the cultural relics of Yunnan Institute of Archaeology. They found many things during the excavation. There are many types of tombs discovered this time, including square pits, round pits, urns and coffins. And the way of burial is also very unique. Some couples are buried together, some are bent sideways, and some are amputated. These are of great value for us to further understand the lifestyle of people living here during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
According to the staff, the tombs discovered this time are very close to each other, and some tombs are stacked on top of each other. The deeper the tomb, the longer the history. But it is strange that there is more than one person's bone in a sarcophagus, and the specific reason for this situation is not clear now. In addition to these amazing things, there are many funerary objects like tombs found before.
Many advanced technologies, such as three-dimensional modeling, have also been applied to the study of ancient tombs. It is believed that the application of these technologies can better help us understand more historical information about this tomb group. However, the history of this tomb group, the identity of this tomb owner and the unique tomb culture are still under investigation. I also hope that everyone will pay more attention and learn more about the history and culture of our country.
