Archaeologists say that archaeology is not tomb robbing, what is the obvious difference between arch

The obvious difference between tomb robbery and archaeology is that the purpose of the two is different, archaeology is to study the previous history through some cultural relics, while tomb robbery is to take those cultural relics for sale, for their own interests.

The motivations of the two are not the same. Some ancient cultural relics have high value, and these values include research value, through which we can study the history of the time and study what the living conditions of the people at that time were like.

These artifacts are a valuable asset, but if they don't fall into the right hands, it will be different.

Archaeologists dig up the artifacts and study them. When they have studied it, they will also hand over the cultural relics to the state for management, and will not take those cultural relics for themselves. Tomb robbing is differentTomb robbersThe purpose is to steal those artifacts and take them laterSell, for the benefit earned for themselves.

The approach is not the same. In order to protect cultural relics, archaeologists will carefully protect cultural relics in the process of archaeology. For example, during the excavation process, they will worry about the damage to the cultural relics, and they will also take a series of measuresProtective measures.

But tomb robbers are different, the purpose of tomb robbers is to get those precious cultural relicsFor some worthless artifacts, they don't care at allOr in the process of digging the ancient tomb, they will also destroy the ancient tomb at will.

The consequences of both are also not the same. After the archaeology, the artifacts will be handed over to the state, which will be managed by the National Museum. And when the tomb robbers get their hands on the artifacts, they sell them illegally, and the artifacts end up in their own hands.

The consequences of the two are also not the same, and archaeologists will be respected because what they do is legitimateIt makes sense. And what those tomb robbers do is illegal, if they have the relevant evidence, theyEventually, it will also fall into the legal net, and also subject to corresponding legal sanctions.

Archaeology is about preserving cultural relics, studying history, and understanding the cultural level of antiquity. Tomb robbery is the destruction of cultural relics for one's own personal gain, and it is illegal to steal and sell cultural relics and rob tombs. That's the obvious difference.

Tomb robbers are a means for profit, and archaeology is carried out to study the development of the time and the confirmation of some historical events, and the archaeological relics will be kept by the state.

The obvious difference is that archaeology is the protection of cultural relics, while tomb robbery is the destruction of cultural relics. Archaeology is rescue excavation, which is the protection of cultural relics; Tomb robbery, on the other hand, is destroying tombs and destroying cultural relics.

Archaeology is for the study of history and the preservation of cultural relics. Tomb robbing, on the other hand, is for one's own selfish interests, for money. And it is not protected by law.

Yesterday I saw a joke, people said that tomb robbery is called tomb robbery without the consent of the tomb owner, and tomb robbery archaeology is tomb robbery in broad daylight, all without the consent of the tomb owner.

First, the purpose is different.

1. Archaeology attaches great importance to culture, so careful protection will be carried out after the cultural relics are unearthed.

2. Tomb robbery is centered on wealth, and those who can sell it for money will be kept, and those who can't be sold may be destroyed.

First, the nature is different.

1. Archaeology: Shows the communities observed in ancient remains, especially primitive societies.

2. Tomb robbery is the act of entering other people's graves and taking them without asking.

Third, the impact on cultural relics is different.

1. Archaeology is for the benefit of society, and the items taken out are generally stored in museums for visits or into the national archives for research, restoration and protection.

2. Tomb robbery is for personal illegal interests and will cause great damage to cultural relics.

The difference is big, although they are all digging ancestral graves and doing things that lack morality, but one has a license and one does not have a license, and any behavior of grabbing benefits from the court is illegal!

At present, I think archaeologists rarely take the initiative to excavate tombs, and morally speaking, it is indeed disrespectful to the ancients. However, sometimes, tombs can fully reflect the cultural characteristics of an era, in order to understand history, there are many doubts in the history books, this is the suspicion of the ancient, thus archaeology, and then interpretation of the ancient, this is the main reason why archaeologists investigate tombs and excavate the site. Take the Cao Cao Tomb as an example, the discovery of Cao Cao's tomb is both inevitable and accidental.

On the one hand, the propaganda of our archaeologists is not enough, and we have not really formed the concept of protecting cultural heritage. In this way, many people downplay the historical value and artistic value of the cultural relics, and pay too much attention to its economic value, especially CCTV's "Sedan Song Appraisal Treasure" has popularized this awareness. Therefore, large-scale tomb robbery is inevitable and inevitable.

By chance, the tomb robbers did not know that this was Cao Cao's tomb, and through archaeological excavations, we found a Gehu card that proved the identity of the tomb owner, and Cao Cao's tomb was able to reappear to the world. Therefore, through the discovery of Cao Cao's tomb, we should not know how many valuable things in it, but should let people understand the current situation and pressure faced by Chinese archaeology. The compulsion and helplessness of our archaeological approach.

1. The purpose is differentTomb robbing is primarily concerned with economic interests. Archaeology, on the other hand, pays more attention to its historical and cultural value. This difference leads to the fact that in addition to active excavations for research purposes, archaeological excavations are mostly salvage excavations and passive excavations such as infrastructure construction.

2. The excavation process and means are differentIn reality, tomb robbers mostly use methods such as cave robbery to excavate, and are only interested in relics with economic value such as gold, silver, and porcelain. Archaeology, on the other hand, has a series of perfect measures and processes from investigation and excavation to the protection of cultural relics, site protection, and follow-up research, which minimizes the secondary damage to relics and relics.

3. Suspicion has different effectsArchaeological excavations are protected by national laws, and all the excavated cultural relics are returned to the state for protection, restoration, and research in museums, archaeological institutes and other places. For immovable cultural relics, there are measures such as the establishment of heritage parks, such as the Xi'an Daming Palace Ruins Park. However, most of the cultural relics obtained by tomb robbers flow to the people or even overseas, and there is often a lack of effective means of protection in the process of excavation and transportation, which causes great harm to cultural relics.
