Chapter 636 Ancient Tomb Guess
The three of Hupogons came to the edge of the rift valley and looked down. The rift valley was about 30 meters deep and more than 50 meters wide, like a huge trench.
"I feel that this ditch is so strange, for no reason." Andy Lau couldn't help but say.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt the same after watching it.
At this time, I heard the Mongolian uncle speak, "I heard from the older generation that this place once rifted a valley is actually a small hill. Maybe this place was abandoned by God and cursed, so it became like this overnight."
The old man, especially the ancients, is the most superstitious.
All things that cannot be explained can be attributed to heaven, gods and ghosts, etc.
Of course, the old man's guess also has their basis. This place was slightly protruding in ancient times and was considered a high ground. If the two armies fought, they would definitely have to be occupied.
So it became a battlefield.
After this place becomes a battlefield, there must be a lot of bleeding, many people die, and many wronged souls. Then, being cursed sounds logical.
In fact, the uncle himself knew that it was all superstition and rumors.
As for the time this place was once a battlefield, he believed it, after all, he had picked up so many weapons. That is the best evidence!
Poplar walked down carefully, not steep.
Seeing that Hu Yang was walking down, uncle and Andy Lau followed behind. They thought that Brother Hu must have thought that there were some good things missing here, so he came to take a look and got lucky.
In fact, isn’t the uncle the same idea?
This rift is so long that when he was young, he didn't travel all over it. Maybe there are any other treasures?
As soon as he got off, Andy Lau tripped up by something and lay on the ground with a dog shit.
"Be careful. How about it? You're not injured?" The uncle couldn't help but remind.
Who knew that Andy Lau picked up a knife the size of a fruit knife from the ground, because it was protected by a scabbard, and when it was pulled out, it was still shining with cold light.
"Brother Hu, look at what I picked up."
The uncle widened his eyes and quickly found it. When he saw that knife, it looked very valuable, with various patterns in the scabbard, and the workmanship was very exquisite. Even a rookie like him could tell that it was probably worth a little money!
Huyang glanced at it and nodded, "This is a Mongolian knife, which is quite good! He wears it, and he should be a guy with a very unsimple identity."
Mongolian swords are the daily necessities for Mongolian herdsmen. They use them to eat meat, slaughter cattle and sheep, and sometimes they are also used as production tools. They are often worn on their bodies, which are both indispensable daily necessities for herdsmen and a kind of decoration.
The handles and scabbards are very particular, including steel, wooden, silver, ox horns, bones, etc. Some are also inlaid with silver, copper and aluminum patterns, some are even inlaid with gems, and some are also equipped with a pair of animal bones or ivory chopsticks.
In particular, the Mongolian knife of camel bone painted sheath has become a treasure of craftsmanship and is sold overseas. There are also exquisite and practical horse-head scimitars. Mongolian knifes have a wide variety, different shapes and sizes.
It is both a practical tool and a very decorative craft.
For example, the handle and scabbard of Andy Lau picked up are made of good horns and are carved. It can be said that the artistic component of this knife is much higher than that of practical components, and ordinary herders will not make it like this at all.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, the best technique of Mongolian craftsmen is making knives.
"The craftsmanship of the Yuan Dynasty was a good art knife that you can collect by yourself," said Hu Yang.
After saying that, he also bent down and picked up a brick. Yes, it was just a brick. It was this brick that tripped Andy Lau, not the knife.
"Strange, how could there be bricks in such a place?" Andy Lau couldn't help asking.
Huyang said: "There are bricks, which means there were buildings here once, maybe buildings on the ground or underground."
"The building underground?" Andy Lau realized as soon as he finished wondering.
"Brother Hu, are you talking about the ancient tomb?"
Hu Guang nodded: "Not bad! Eight out of ten are ancient tombs. Otherwise, jade would not appear. If it were just ancient weapons, then the ancient battlefield that the uncle mentioned was reasonable.
However, there is no explanation for jade. In addition, it is the bricks we see now.
I looked at it and it was an ancient brick. You see, there are patterns here, which depict a war horse. This ancient brick with special patterns could not have been used to build houses in ancient times."
Besides, in ancient grasslands, they were not used to building them with bricks.
Ancient bricks can also be collected. For example, if the current piece has patterns, it means art.
Ancient bricks are often engraved with age, patterns, auspicious words, etc., which are important reference materials for studying history and carving.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, architectural pottery occupied an important position in the pottery making industry. The most distinctive ones were portrait bricks and tiles with various patterns, which were known as "Qin bricks and Han tiles".
During the Qin Dynasty, a majestic and majestic Great Wall was built at the top of high mountains and ridges. The grand project and exquisite bricks were used, which were rare in the world.
In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the application of portrait bricks expanded from the Central Plains to the Si*chuan area. The portrait brick tombs in the Central Plains to the late Eastern Han Dynasty were replaced by small bricks, while the Si*chuan continued to the Shuhan period.
Those brick patterns are rich in content, including sowing, harvesting, pounding rice, brewing, salt wells, prospecting, and mulberry gardens that reflect various production activities; markets, banquets, games, dances, acrobatics, and aristocrats' home life that describes social customs; there are also bicycles and riding, que and mythological stories, etc.
These were all portrayals of the social life and production at that time, and they had great value in history, science and art research.
"This piece is a portrait brick." Huyang said.
Soon, the uncle also picked up two bricks and brought them over. However, the two pieces were actually one and broke from the middle.
Together, there is also a pattern on it, but not a horse, but a camel, and there is a character on the camel's back.
The uncle was surprised: "Is there an ancient tomb here?"
Even the audience in the live broadcast room was greatly surprised.
If it is an ancient tomb, then this huge and narrow rift is likely caused by the collapse of the ancient tomb. However, what kind of ancient tomb is it? Any collapse will turn into a two or three kilometers long rift?
If this was an ancient tomb, it would be too large, right? It was simply incredible.
"I'm just a guess for the time being! In fact, I got the news that there might be a tomb of Emperor Yuan here, so I took a look and looked for clues.
When I saw this rift, I had some guesses, and I also felt that the rumors were not groundless." Hu Yang told everyone the truth.
This time, Andy Lau and the audience in the live broadcast room remembered what Brother Hu said before. They came to Inner Mongolia to verify something.
