Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland
Chapter 527: The Tomb of Genghis Khan cannot be found, the Tomb of Wu Zetian cannot be dug
Canopy.
[So who owns this legendary ancient tomb that cannot be found in history? ]
[It is the tomb of Genghis Khan! ]
[Genghis Khan fought thousands of miles throughout his life, sweeping across many countries in Eurasia. Even if he only took a small portion of the spoils as his burial objects, it would definitely be extremely generous.]
[But there may be many tomb robbers who are eyeing Genghis Khan's tomb. ]
[But up to now, no one knows where this genius of his generation is. ]
[Some friends may ask, isn’t there a large-scale Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos? ]
[In fact, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum is just a symbolic mausoleum built in modern times, used to worship ancestors.]
[And no one knows the location of the real Genghis Khan's tomb. ]
[This is because Genghis Khan adopted the traditional secret burial system of Mongolian nobles. ]
[After Genghis Khan's death, there was no grand funeral procession, but a low-key burial at night by the cavalry guards.]
[No grave mound, no tombstone.]
[After burying the coffin, lead the horse to the ground where the burial took place and walk back and forth to cover up all traces of digging the soil.]
[After a while, as the grass and trees grew back, no trace of the cemetery could be found on the ground.]
[The cavalrymen who escorted the coffin were also killed afterwards to ensure that the news would not be leaked.]
【Then here comes the question. 】
[What should we do if our descendants want to worship their ancestors but cannot find the location of the tomb? ]
[There is no definite conclusion in the academic community on this point.]
[But it is said that there is a very cruel way, that is, after the horses have trampled the land above the tomb flat, they will bring a female camel with her baby camel. ]
[Then the baby camel was killed in front of the mother camel.]
【The blood was spilled on the grave.】
[When the descendants wanted to pay homage, they would lead the female camel to the approximate area of this area.]
[Female camels have a very good memory and a unique way of remembering things.]
[The mother camel will stop at the place where the baby camel was killed and make a sad sound.]
[And that place is where Genghis Khan was buried. ]
[But this method can only work temporarily. After the mother camel dies of old age, it will be difficult for future generations to find Genghis Khan’s tomb.]
Outside the sky.
Seeing this, Kublai Khan also sighed and nodded, saying:
"The great achievements of Genghis Khan are truly admired by all the people of the Mongolian nation."
"I am now the emperor of the Central Plains, and I also want to pay homage to Grandpa Genghis Khan."
"It's a pity that even I don't know where Genghis Khan is buried."
"I just heard from some old people who stayed in the grasslands that it was probably on some mountain."
"But the exact location is still hard to find!"
"I can't possibly mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to dig deep into that mountain, can I?"
Many ancient emperors saw the way Genghis Khan was buried.
They all mean they have learned something.
But it won't work.
After all, although this method is concealed, it cannot be used for sacrifice.
There were no luxurious underground palaces for these emperors to enjoy after their death.
Therefore, it does not conform to the funeral concepts of traditional Chinese emperors.
The sky screen continued to play, and the four ancient tombs could not be dug.
[Tang! Qianling Mausoleum where Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian are buried! ]
When Tian Mu confirmed in a tone that there was a female emperor in the Tang Dynasty.
Many ancient people were slightly surprised.
But there wasn't too much shock or anger.
After all, after such a long period of baptism under the sky, the psychological endurance of the ancient people has been greatly improved.
Compared to those things that shattered the ancients' world views, the female emperor was considered relatively normal.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the Empress Dowager Cixi who appeared on the sky curtain.
He looked majestic and gave orders in the court.
Even Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty had to kneel down to listen to the emperor's orders.
The power of Empress Dowager Cixi,
What’s the difference between him and the emperor?
In addition, situations such as women being in power have existed since ancient times.
Both in ancient times, the queen of the Shang Dynasty shared power with the king.
Or the Queen Mother Mi of the Qin Dynasty, Empress Lü of the Han Dynasty, and other subsequent dynasties, those queen mothers who held more power.
It also let the ancients know that it was actually very common for women to possess power like that of an emperor.
However, most women, perhaps due to traditional etiquette, only serve as de facto emperors even if they are in power.
But he never really became an emperor.
Then, among this group of women in power, there will be a small number of outliers who dare to claim to be emperors.
It doesn't seem unimaginable.
The ancients were more concerned about this time.
What kind of imperial tomb is this that cannot be excavated?
Can I refer to it myself?
[Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum is the burial place of two emperors, and it was also the tomb of the Tang Dynasty when it reached its peak. ]
[Naturally, there were also many rare treasures buried with him. ]
[It is said that after Wu Zetian's death, more than 30% of the gold, silver and jewelry in the national treasury were taken away as burial objects.]
[According to experts’ estimates, the various gold, silver and jewelry burial objects in Qianling Mausoleum weigh more than 500 tons! ]
[During the past 1000 years, there have been many tomb robbers who have set their sights on Qianling Mausoleum.]
[Not to mention the petty thefts, there were three large-scale thefts! ]
[Among them is our old acquaintance Huang Chao. ]
[He organized hundreds of thousands of insurgents who dug not only three feet into the ground, but a full 40 meters.]
[Even in the end, a warlord of the Republic of China used modern explosives but was unable to successfully open the Qianling Mausoleum.]
[According to modern archaeologists, Qianling Mausoleum is the best preserved of the emperor's mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty.]
[No robbery holes were found in the main part of the mausoleum.]
[Even the sealing stone of the tomb passage is still intact.]
[It can be basically concluded that Qianling Mausoleum has basically not been damaged by tomb robbers.]
[That is to say, over the past 1000 years, despite three large-scale tomb robberies by warlords, the gate of Qianling Mausoleum has not been opened.]
[This is because the emperors' mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty were built on mountains, and Qianling Mausoleum is located on Liangshan Mountain in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province.]
[This is a very solid mountain in itself.]
[Further artificial reinforcement was carried out in Liangshan, and a very dangerous and hidden location was chosen for burial.]
[For outside tomb robbers, it is already very difficult to find the exact location of Qianling Mausoleum on Liangshan Mountain.]
[Even if it is found, since the external structure of Qianling Mausoleum is the mountain itself, it cannot be destroyed by ordinary technical means.]
【So Qianling Mausoleum could not be robbed naturally. 】
After the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
The third Qianling Mausoleum to be inspected immediately attracted the unanimous attention and recognition of all ancient people.
Especially those ancient kings and princes who had the ability to build large-scale mausoleums in the mountains, all recognized the solidity of Qianling Mausoleum.
Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"Yes, just as Tianmu introduced it."
"The construction method of Qianling Mausoleum using the mountain as a tomb is indeed one of the best choices for us as emperors."
"Don't worry about those things, or any mechanisms or secret passages."
"Just use brute force and use the strongest mountain as your mausoleum."
"We will pile up materials crazily to increase the difficulty of tomb robbing to the highest level."
"One force can defeat ten!"
"Although it doesn't look like it has any fancy tricks, its defensive effect may actually be the best."
At the end of the video, the sky screen also introduces the tomb of Shen Wansan, which is located in the ocean.
[Shen Wansan was a top-tier businessman in the early Ming Dynasty, and his wealth could rival that of a country. ]
[It’s just that when Shen Wansan was developing in Suzhou, he made great efforts to defend the city for Zhang Shicheng, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.]
[In order to make up for Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, Shen Wansan later paid for the construction of the city wall for Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. ]
[But after the city wall was built, Shen Wansan used money to reward the soldiers and officials who were responsible for building the city wall.]
[This made Zhu Yuanzhang angry again! ]
[How can you, a lousy businessman, reward the army? ]
[Zhu Yuanzhang almost killed Shen Wansan in anger! ]
【It was only after Empress Ma’s dissuasion that he was eventually exiled.】
[Shen Wansan died in a foreign land, and even though part of his property was confiscated, he was still a top tycoon. ]
[Shen Wansan was worried that his huge wealth would make him restless even after his death.]
[So he used special technical means to bury his own tomb on the bottom of the South China Sea. ]
[This way, you don’t have to worry about being stolen…] (End of this chapter)
