The oil lamp of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is mysterious and will not be extinguished for thousands of yearsIn the historical story, an oil lamp in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is said to have burned for thousands of years, becoming a high-profile mystery. Legend has it that the fuel for this oil lamp was actually shark oil provided by the merman. However, the latest research suggests a very different view, and American scholars believe that the oil lamp did not use mermaid oil.
Located around the city of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor in Chinese history. The mausoleum is world-famous for its grand size and abundance of funerary goods. In the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there is a legendary oil lamp that will not be extinguished for thousands of years, which is believed to illuminate Qin Shi Huang's life in the underworld. This mysterious legend is recorded in ancient history books, saying that the oil lamps of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang used the oil of the mermaids, who were legendary sea creatures endowed with mysterious powers, precious treasures and magical energy.
Recently, however, some American scholars have questioned this conventional view. They believe that the oil lamps in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang may not have used mermaid oil, but were able to burn continuously due to a special process or chemical reaction. To unravel the mysteries of this millennium, we delved into a variety of possible causes.
First, let's consider the ancient technology of fuel extraction. In ancient China, the technology of extracting oils from plants did exist, and this technology was widely used in daily life and industrial production. Therefore, it is possible that the merman oil recorded in the history books was actually extracted from plants.
In addition, we also considered the special design of the oil lamp. In ancient China, there were indeed some designs of oil lamps that could continue to burn for thousands of years, and these designs made use of special processes and materials to enable oil lamps to continue to burn in an oxygen-deficient environment. Therefore, the oil lamps in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang may have been able to survive for thousands of years because of this special design.
Although we have delved into the various possible causes, the truth is still difficult to determine. The perspective of American scholars provides us with a whole new perspective on this issue. However, due to the lack of direct evidence and documentation, we are unable to determine whether this thousand-year-old oil lamp actually used mermaid oil as fuel.
In this historical mystery, we see the wisdom of the ancient Chinese and the charm of the mysterious culture. Whatever the truth, this mystery will continue to attract people to explore and discover more secrets about this millennial history. It is hoped that future research will provide us with more clues and evidence to uncover the truth of this mystery.
