Gradually, Tara began to wonder if the owner of the tomb might be a princess of the early Khitan Dynasty, and her identity seemed to be most consistent with the princess of Liao Taizu Abaoji. Historical records show that Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji has only one princess. Through the study of the headband, Tara has come to the conclusion that the tomb owner lived in the early Khitan Dynasty, and this new speculation may become a major discovery in the history of Khitan archaeology. If the owner of the tomb is really the princess of the Khitan Emperor, then she is undoubtedly an extremely prominent woman. As a result, Tara decided to compare the jewelry of the owner of the tomb of Turki Mountain with the jewelry that had been in the tomb of Yeluyu in detail in order to find conclusive royal identification.
The stripping work in the lab continues, and every discovery is astounding. A delicate silk embroidered robe appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the dragon embroidered with gold thread still shone brightly. The identity of this Khitan woman became more and more prominent, and everyone began to believe that the archaeologists speculated that the owner of the tomb was by no means ordinary.
In order to smoothly strip the tomb owner's clothes, archaeologists could not help but wonder about the cause of her death. Shockingly, every bone taken from the deceased's body was pitch black. This led to a startling speculation: Could it be that the woman was poisoned?However, this speculation contradicts the fact that there is no record in the history books that Abaoji's princess died of poisoning. This suspicion led Tara to seek the help of Shao Qinglong, an expert specializing in Khitan history. At the same time, there are some other signs that do not quite match the identity of the owner of the tomb of Turji Mountain and Princess Abaoji.
Hundreds of kilometers apart are the Turji Mountains and the Zuling Mountains, the latter being the burial place of Yelu Abaoji. This raises an important question, if the owner of the tomb is Abaoji's princess, why is she not buried with the family members?
In the tombs of the Liao Dynasty, there is a clear pattern. The Xing'anling area stretches to the northeast, and this area is where the royal family of the Liao Dynasty is buried. And from the mountains south of Chifeng to Liaoning, the descendants of the Liao Dynasty are buried, that is, the descendants of the Xiao family. Between these two mountain ranges is the Liao River Plain, and the Turji Mountains are located in this area, but no other Liao Dynasty tombs have been found. In addition, Tara also noticed that the history books mentioned that the princess of Abaoji was married, and according to Khitan customs, she should not only be buried with her husband's family, but also in the same tomb as her husband. However, in the tomb of Princess Chen, two pairs of gold masks and two sets of silver wire mesh robes were unearthed, which means that the princess was buried in a burial chamber with her husband. If the owner of the tomb of Turji Mountain was the princess of Abaoji, she should not have been buried here alone.
All things considered, the current evidence does not seem to be enough to prove that the owner of the tomb is the princess of Abaoji. However, the stripping work within the laboratory did not stop, and the appearance of mysterious spots raised more questions. When people were about to remove one of the clothes from the tomb owner, some liquid that shimmered with silver suddenly gushed out, and it was found to be mercury after testing. The discovery led to new speculation about the cause of death of the tomb owner, and the fact that her upper body was well preserved and the black nature of her bones was more plausible.
As early as the beginning of the extraction of the bones of the deceased, Tara had an unusual premonition. Now, the highly toxic substance mercury has been discovered, and her suspicions have been further confirmed.
If it can be conclusively proved that the owner of the tomb was poisoned by mercury, then Tara will no longer adhere to Princess Abaoji's theory, and will set out to find new clues to reveal the identity of the tomb's owner. Because there is no record in the history books that Abaoji's princess died of poisoning. So, the question is, is mercury the real ** in this case?
