The Chinese and German sides scanned the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and discovered a big secret in the mausoleum
As a historical miracle, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has always been the focus of the archaeological community. Recently, Chinese and German archaeologists joined forces to make a major discovery. Through MRI scanning, they revealed an important secret inside the mausoleum: the underground palace conceals a massive complex of buildings, including a hitherto undiscovered "arsenal".
After exploring one of the burial pits, experts were surprised to find that a large number of well-made armor and armor were stored inside. The intricacies of the production of these armaments are a testament to the skill of the craftsmen of the time, which is impressive. This discovery reveals for us the strength of the military force and the sophistication of equipment during the period of Qin Shi Huang, and also provides new clues for historical research.
The armor is all sewn from stone pieces one by one, and each piece of armor is polished with great care, and according to research, each piece of armor goes through a complex production process and is finally sewn by craftsmen. Taking a skilled craftsman as an example, according to the existing work system, it takes at least 300 days for him to complete a piece of armor, and in this arsenal, there are as many as five or six million armor pieces, and there are thousands of finished armor clothes.
According to statistics, a total of 130 pieces of stone armor were unearthed. Later, after expert observation, it was found that the production process of these stone armors is very complex, each stone armor must be drilled, then polished, and then carefully polished to the stone armor, and each step of the production process is very demanding. If it is converted to today's 8-hour system every day, it will take nearly a year, but the problem is that there is not only this in the mausoleum, there are also a lot of armor and armor pieces, and from this point of view alone, it is much stronger than the imperial tombs of later generations, which shows that the scale of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is not to be underestimated.
At present, some terracotta warriors have been excavated and displayed to the public, but the "underground arsenal" remains untouched to this day. This is because the chamber that has been buried for thousands of years is very different from the outside world, and if it is not carefully excavated, the resulting armor may decay in an instant. Today's preservation techniques are not yet fully mature, and it is difficult to ensure that the excavated "**** will not be affected by oxidation and weathering." Therefore, these treasures can only continue to be enjoyed in the catacombs, which is the best way to protect them.
