What do you think about archaeology and tomb robbing?

Archaeologists still have some scruples, and most of the archaeology is for scientific value, so they will not sell antiquities and national treasures abroad for money. Tomb robbers don't care about this, they just steal for money, and whoever gives money will sell them! Many national treasures have been lost overseas in this way, which makes us sad even more than the discoloration of the terracotta warriors!

In layman's terms, an archaeologist is a licensed tomb robber, and a tomb robber is an archaeologist without a diploma

Technically, tomb robbers are better at protecting valuable things than archaeologists, and dismissive of worthless things, regardless of whether they live or die, while archaeologists are relatively indiscriminate

After the terracotta warriors and horses were dug out, the color of the pit was all gone, and when this problem was discovered, the No. 3 pit was well preserved!

I agree with you, but how can you discover ancient things when you are buried in the ground?

Tomb robbery is purely personal gain, disgraceful!

Tomb robbing is a private act;

Archaeology is an act of the state. That's all.

Every time a certain depth is dug down, there will be a dynasty of cultural relics, if all of them are dug out, human beings will not want to live on the earth in the future

This is the case, and for this reason, most of the ancient tombs are not excavated now, and they will be excavated when the problem of cultural relics protection is solved.

It is indeed sad to do this to the terracotta warriors. I guess it was a directive from the political leadership.

Tomb robbers make money by reselling cultural relics.

Archaeologists are famous for writing **.

Of course not, the two are not the same thing at all.

Nowadays, some people always think that archaeology is what it is.

Dig up the baby, for the money. So I think there is no difference between archaeology and tomb robbing.

But in fact, the main work of archaeology is to restore and study the unearthed objects to find out the historical truth.

In fact, as long as you look at some more archaeological records and **, you will find that the project that is listed as a major archaeological discovery, there are very few cultural relics that are worth a lot of money, most of them are some broken objects that look like garbage in the eyes of ordinary people, such as the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which were broken and worthless when they were first dug up, and they became what they are today after decades of restoration.

This kind of work is absolutely impossible for grave robbers to do, and they will only kick aside these worthless and broken objects.

Don't think that archaeology is meaningless, today's Western archaeological community only admits the history of more than 3,000 years in China, and thinks that the history of Xia Shang and even earlier is false, do you know what their reasons are? There is a lack of sufficient archaeological evidence.

If we despise archaeology, let the common people dig up the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang casually, take valuable cultural relics and sell them, and throw away worthless historical objects casually, then today it will be impossible to prove that Qin Shi Huang is a real person.

The history of the motherland needs archaeology to prove, but some people think that archaeology is the same as tomb robbing? This kind of person is either stupid or bad.

Tomb robbers only take money, archaeology does not even let go of the teeth of the corpse, you think about it yourself, when you die, it is nothing for others to take away the things outside my body before my death, after all, this thing cannot be spent when it is dead, but these archaeologists with certificates do not even let go of the corpse, take it to the laboratory to do all kinds of research, and finally put it in the museum to show people, and there is no peace when you die, which is a very shameful behavior.

Archaeology is the work of those who have lost their morals and are punished by God.

To put it simply, tomb robbery is to steal burial goods and sell them for money, and archaeology is the overall history of the area, historical evolution, all kinds of relics (including city sites, ash pits, etc., not exactly just tombs) to sort out and record, protect the relevant relics, and the discovery of ruins does not necessarily mean that they must be excavated, on the contrary, excavation is the last resort in archaeological work, because the best protection measure for underground cultural relics is not to excavate. Moreover, the vast majority of all known sites in China have not been excavated, and most of the sites that have been excavated have not been excavated. Excavations are often a last resort when it is not possible to preserve the remains in situ, and archaeologists do not take the initiative to engage in grave digging competitions with tomb robbers.

Most of the current excavations in China are rescue excavations. Excavations are often carried out only in the state of large-scale project construction (such as the Three Gorges, accidental excavations in the process of commercial land development, and major tomb robbers by tomb robbers, etc.), and will not take the initiative to excavate unless absolutely necessary.

Many people take this kind of reason - "the tomb is excavated by individuals, and the archaeological excavation is national". It's not worth refuting at all. And it's especially ridiculous, you have to understand that artifacts don't equal money!

A Ru kiln porcelain plate, if you sell it, it may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but if you put it in the museum, it is a plate! It is not possible for the cultural relics excavated by the state to be auctioned in the auction house, on the contrary, the state has to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to preserve and maintain these cultural relics.

Hello landlord, I am an archaeology student, and I am here to answer your questions.

In the complete archaeological process, there are several steps:

Archaeological surveys. Field excavations.

Archaeological research. Generally, people pay more attention to the process of field excavation, and it is often easy to ignore that archaeology does not only refer to the excavation remains, but also includes follow-up research, reasonable explanation and explanation of the unearthed remains, in the whole process, the follow-up research level determines the impact of the entire archaeological process, field excavation is the basis of research, correct excavation, surveying and mapping record cultural relics information, preservation of cultural relics, in order to make the follow-up research have a basic focus.

The reason why archaeology is not tomb robbery is that tomb robbery only focuses on the underground cultural relics excavated for sale, and does not well retain the information when the cultural relics are unearthed, such as the location and associated relationship between cultural relics, so that tomb robbery is equivalent to destroying part of the information, so that people can not interpret the information left from the ancient society well, and at the same time, it is also the possibility of losing a complete understanding of the ancient society and people. Therefore, tomb robbing is restricted by law.

From the perspective of cultural relics law, the cultural relics unearthed underground are all owned by the state, and the historical and cultural information they seek is greater than their own economic interests. The scientific archaeological excavation can find the remaining information to the greatest extent, restore or approach the original face of history, tomb robbery for the destruction of archaeological information is distressing, many tombs have been stolen during excavation, which is very regrettable.

Archaeology attaches great importance to culture, so after the cultural relics are unearthed, they will be carefully protected; Tomb robbing is centered on wealth, and those who can sell it for money will stay, and those who can't sell it may be. Due to the limited time, limited technology, and lack of heart of the tomb robbers, it is very likely to cause malicious damage when robbing and excavating. And sometimes archaeology is also very passive, and many times it is a race for time with tomb robbers, depending on who gets first.

As for the original meaning of the grave, friend, this is the age of dialectical materialism, which is absent in the eyes of scientists. Dialysis of ancient culture is not actually a discipline that has only emerged in recent years, it has existed since ancient times. For example, Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Mingcheng, and Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty were all famous epigraphers.

In fact, gold and stone are cultural relics. In this way, through the gold and stone documents, archaeological documents and physical evidence, we can restore the historical truth as close as possible. It is true that the current technology cannot guarantee the intact excavation of cultural relics, so many large archaeological projects have not been implemented, such as part of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses (forget the marking pit), the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and most of the Ming Tombs.

The prime minister said that he would leave something for future generations to study, and that's what he meant. As mentioned earlier, archaeology is sometimes a rush for time, many projects are found to have been patronized by tomb robbers before carrying out protective excavations, and some are ancient tombs accidentally found during municipal construction or large-scale engineering construction, these things will not have a chance after not digging, so we can't be in a hurry. And scientists sometimes have an urge to get a glimpse of a project.

In this way, it is not harmful to dig it out when the conditions are ripe. Although it is necessary to leave some things for future generations to study, everything should not be studied by future generations, and contemporary people must also have a certain responsibility. In fact, the best way to protect a cultural relic is to leave it untouched and let it continue to stay in its original environment.

But this is a waste of culture after all, and as mentioned earlier, some impulses are inevitable. In the early archaeological work, many cultural relics were indeed destroyed, which is a pity, so the archaeology now has become relatively rational, and many projects with technical problems in conservation have not been done, and the examples have been listed above.

In ancient China, there was a saying that the tomb of the ancients was excavated in broad daylight, and the name of archaeology was a bit unkind, after all, no one wanted their tombs to be dug up after a few hundred years, although people died without thoughts, but ** did not empathize with the feelings of the descendants of the tomb owner, and personally believed that the excavation of the ancient tombs should be stopped.

No. Archaeology and tomb robbing are two different things. First of all, all the cultural relics excavated by archaeology belong to the state and are publicly owned.

will enter the museum for external exhibitions. Tomb robbing is different, all valuable artifacts will be stolen and sold. Some national treasure-level cultural relics will even flow out of the country.

Regardless of whether a tomb has a priceless national treasure, the archaeological team will excavate it. Because archaeology is not only the excavation of cultural relics, but also the study and verification of history. It has high scientific research value.

Tomb robberies will only target valuable tombs, because their only purpose is money. During the archaeological process, any artifact will be well preserved, even if it is a pile of rags. Tomb robberies will only take valuable cultural relics, and those cultural relics that have no realizable value will be discarded or even deliberately destroyed.

Therefore, archaeology is archaeology, and tomb robbery is tomb robbery.

Haha archaeology is not for excavation.

It is also necessary to protect and leave it to future generations to study, and generally do not take the initiative to excavate, but the tomb robbers are different, that is, for the purpose of stealing treasures, they knocked down the tomb, and the archaeological team followed behind to clean up, otherwise the tomb would be abandoned and had no value. In fact, there are not many good things in archaeology, they are all taken away by tomb robbers. Archaeology focuses on research.

These grave robbers are more hateful.

Gods may do what cattle may not.

Only experts are allowed to rob tombs, and ordinary people are not allowed to archaeology.

Are you willing to be dug up and studied when you die, and use your dried corpse for profit?

Yes, in order to justify the name, the archaeologists changed the name of tomb robbery to archaeology, so archaeology is equal to tomb robbery, there is no doubt.

Oh the question, the dead are greater. The so-called archaeology is to take things as soon as they are taken, and even the corpses are not spared! The dead are also to be studied and visited.

This archaeology student, when you die in the future, remember to bury some good things in your tomb, and I will dig it up.

No, archaeology is historical investigation and research, and tomb robbery is robbery!

It's different, you dig and call tomb robbery, and party digging is called archaeology...

Archaeology is not tomb robbing.

Archaeology is the study of how to find and obtain the physical remains of ancient human societies, and how to study human history based on these remains. The term "archaeology" in modern China may have been translated from the Western word archaeology. Tomb robbery, also known as stealing excavation, digging graves, digging graves, digging tombs, tombs, and hair mounds, is adultery, which refers to the act of entering mausoleums or underground relics to steal burial items.

Archaeologists are for research, in order to dig up the treasures intact and study, and restore the ancients, this is an admirable profession.

No matter how much treasure there is, it is cheaper than the archaeological one, so it is better to give it to the tomb robbers. This sentence was said by a history professor, some say that there is no difference between archaeologists and tomb robbers, that is, they are bright and bright by their profession, but tomb robbers are stealing and being abused, and some say that archaeology and tomb robbers are completely incomparable, archaeologists are a serious profession, and there is still an essential difference between archaeology and tomb robbers, just like doctors and human organ traffickers, which are different.

Archaeologists go back to study geology, and then how can they protect the integrity of the ancient tombs, in the case of excavation, tomb robbery is nothing to do, just dig up treasures. Without the research of archaeologists, we would not be able to know so much about ancient history, culture and relics. For archaeologists, we should admire, although they also go for treasures, but they are concerned with the preservation of tombs to excavate, and they pay attention to the study of ancient culture and history.

The tombs excavated by archaeologists are not possessed by themselves, and they are all to be returned to the public. And there is an iron law in the archaeological world, that is, "archaeology does not collect", no one can violate it, that is to say, people who do archaeology cannot collect cultural relics, but it is undeniable that archaeological experts are also digging ancient tombs, excavating treasures and money in the tombs, and equating tomb robbery with archaeology, which is extremely irresponsible!

So the two essences of archaeology and tomb robbers go to other professionsThere is no morality in the history of tomb robbing, and archaeology is praised and respected.

Because the antiquities they found still have to be handed over to the state, they say that they are in harmony with the law.

Archaeological excavations will protect the artifacts from destruction, as the antiquities they find will still have to be handed over to the state.
