The main body of the tomb did not collapse into the water.
The eighth wonder of the world, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, has long had a series of questions, such as whether the real tomb of the First Qin Emperor is under a sealed mound, how deep the tomb is buried, what is the structural size of the underground palace, and whether the tomb collapses into the water? China's scientific and technical personnel applied gravity, magnetic method, high-density electrical method, geological radar method and other technologies. After one year's exploration and experimental verification, they finally uncovered a series of mysteries of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. The real tomb of Qin Shihuang is under the mound, and the main body of the stone building tomb has not collapsed into the water. Preliminary exploration shows that the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, with its large scale and complex structure, really embodies the style of "one emperor through the ages".
The mausoleum is located in the center of the underground palace.
Liu Shiyi, a researcher of China Geological Survey, said that this survey detected obvious gravity anomalies and elastic wave reflection anomalies caused by backfilling rammed earth after excavation of underground palace, obvious magnetic anomalies caused by fine rammed earth wall of soil sealing piles corresponding to excavation scope, high resistivity anomalies caused by tombs, mercury anomalies within excavation scope, gravity anomalies caused by palace wall and diffraction point anomalies. These anomalies, together with the known tombs, outline a huge underground building complex. "Only real graves can have such a scale and supporting underground buildings. So now we can answer a big question, that is, the underground palace and mausoleum of Qin Shihuang are under the mound. "
According to Liu Shiyi, according to the preliminary assessment, the underground palace is located under and around the platform at the top of the soil-sealed pile, and the main body of the excavation scope is about 170 meters long from east to west and about 145 meters wide from north to south. The main body and tombs of the excavation scope are rectangular. The tomb is located in the center of the underground palace, with a top depth of 470 to 480 meters above sea level and a height of about 15 meters. It is about 80 meters long from east to west and 50 meters wide from north to south. The elevation of the palace wall is about 47 1m, the height is about 16m, the width is about 8m, the length from east to west is about 145m, and the width from north to south is about 125m. The fine rammed earth wall above the palace wall is basically consistent with the position and scope of the palace wall, with a height of about 30 meters.
It is unknown whether the tomb of the first emperor was stolen.
The abnormal distribution characteristics of mercury in the sealed mound detected by measurement are intriguing: the north and east are the strongest, followed by the south and west, and the north and west are the weakest. According to the legend that mercury in Qin Shihuang's tomb simulates the world's rivers, it may reflect the concept of river geography of China people in Qin Dynasty, for example, it may be related to Qin Shihuang's going to Bohai Sea.
Liu Shiyi said that the survey only gave the location, buried depth, size and shape of the underground building, because there were few sections except the magnetic method, there was no three-dimensional detection and inversion, and the human interference of the magnetic method could not be completely ruled out. As for whether the treasures hidden in the tomb are recorded in historical records and stolen, it is a puzzle that cannot be solved until the day of excavation.
The mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is a huge underground palace.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the real tomb of the first emperor in China was under the mound of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, and the main stone building did not collapse into the water. A series of questions about the "eighth wonder of the world" Qin Shihuang Mausoleum have a long history. After a year's exploration and experimental verification, China scientific and technical personnel have finally uncovered a series of mysteries of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor by applying geophysical and geochemical techniques such as gravity, magnetic method and high-density electrical method.
On the 27th, Liu Shiyi, head of the "863" project of the Ministry of Science and Technology and a researcher of China Geological Survey, said that according to this survey, "Now we can answer a big question, that is, the underground palace and burial chamber of Qin Shihuang are under the mound." According to the preliminary assessment, the underground palace is located under and around the platform at the top of the earth-sealed pile. The main body of the excavation scope is about170m long from east to west and about145m wide from north to south. The main body and tombs of the excavation scope are rectangular. The mausoleum is located in the center of the underground palace.
