An incredible thing happened in an ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty unearthed in Hubei Province. When the archaeological team arrived, they were all stunned by what they saw. A live turtle was unearthed in the original tomb. How did this happen?
This happened in Hubei province. Because of the continuous rainstorm and the constant erosion of rain, an underground tomb gradually appeared in front of the world. In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from entering the tomb to steal cultural relics, the local cultural relics protection department immediately led a team to carry out protective excavation. However, the staff at the scene felt sad that the tomb was stolen, leaving almost no cultural relics inside, and even the identity of the tomb owner was unknown.
However, just when the experts were disappointed, a turtle climbed out of the grave and shocked everyone at the scene. Some people think that turtles have a long life. This turtle was buried in the grave when its owner was buried. I don't know why I haven't died for thousands of years. Some people think that this turtle climbed in by accident through a stolen hole outside.
In fact, the second statement is more convincing, because the folk statement about the longevity of turtles is somewhat exaggerated. Well-bred turtles have a life span of about 50 years, even if they are hundreds of years old, they can be called miracles, so turtles can't live for thousands of years. Later, after investigation, it was confirmed that the turtle was not very old.
Later, experts found some pieces of cultural relics discarded by grave robbers in the tomb. According to the investigation, it can be inferred that the owner of the tomb was a powerful person in the Western Han Dynasty. Other news is unknown due to lack of textual research. Originally, this mausoleum could bring us a lot of important historical information, but it lost its value because of the destruction of grave robbers, and this behavior of grave robbers is also despised by people.
