What records in the history books have been overturned by archaeological discoveries?
The first is the "seventy-two suspected graves of Cao Cao" mentioned by many people. When archaeologists learned that this tomb had nothing to do with Cao Cao through investigation, excavation and exploration, the record of "seventy-two suspected Cao Tombs" was overturned. In fact, this record is not from Chen Shou's "History of the Three Kingdoms". This view didn't become popular until the Song Dynasty. After continuous processing by scholars, it became more and more "true", so it was considered true by everyone.
? There is also that our ancient carriages were made by people of that era.
"Shiben" recorded Xi Zhongjia. Thousands of years later, people also believe this statement. Everyone thinks that the carriage was invented by Xi Zhong in the Xia Dynasty, and there is no dispute. However, according to archaeological data, Chinese archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the earliest carriage in China appeared in the late Shang Dynasty. However, in Erlitou site, which may be the summer capital, only one suspected rut was found, and the gauge was very narrow. There were no tracks of livestock pulling carts in the site. So this record may be false, not real history.
Many historical facts will be recorded, but many things may be wrong. With people's different understanding, the truth is buried in the long river of history.
