From ancient times to the present, what are the means to prevent tomb robbery? Why is tomb robbing r

From ancient times to the present, the act of digging graves began to rise from the beginning of the cemetery with treasures to accompany the burial of a profession, and in ancient times, the emperor dug the grave in order to collect people, and the big collector would spend a lot of money to hire tomb robbers to dig the grave in order to collect. But every emperor doesn't want anyone to touch his tomb after death, and generations of emperors have also put a lot of thought into preventing tomb robbery. <>

The roughly effective means are; 1. The suspicious grave is to set up a fake cemetery; 2. Traps and poisons are the most common means; 3. Sealing the door with a boulder; Fourth, the fire pit tomb; 5. Place the coffin on a cliff; Six; Curse; 7. The law, all dynasties and generations, including now, have laws related to digging graves, and in ancient times, most of them were capital punishments, but the laws could not resist people's greedy nature at all, and tomb robbers still emerged in an endless stream, and many cemeteries were still stolen. <>

8. Mudslide, once the grave robbers remove the stones, there will be a mudslide gushing out, instantly drowning people and drowning to death, this kind of mechanism is impossible to prevent, and once encountered, there is basically only death. 9. Rotting corpse poison, this is the most vicious way to prevent tomb robbery in ancient times, which can be called ruthless and abnormal, that is, in the corpse, put the corpse poison into the trap, and join the tomb robbers in order to steal the treasure, touch the corpse of the messenger, and it will spray the corpse poison and spray the person directly.

10. Mercury pool: An anti-theft method that has been used since the Qin period, and the probability of the use of mercury in the cemetery is also very small. <>

The ancients had countless anti-tomb robbery methods, tomb robbers also have countless ways to crack, this is the so-called road high one foot high magic one zhang high, no matter how you come to the tomb robbers also how to break, ancient tomb robbery is a very prosperous industry, big profits, come quickly, so many people are not afraid of the danger of the cemetery, from modern times to the present tomb robbers are becoming fewer and fewer, now the state has expressly prohibited tomb robbery, and the key is that the tomb that can be robbed has been stolen almost, and there are not many people who want to know the craft of those tomb robbers.

I have to say that the ancients really tried their best to prevent tomb theft. First of all, we can refer to Cao Cao's design of the seventy-two doubtful tombs to confuse the public, and then the huge stone tomb door and the ingenious hidden weapon to prevent tomb robbery. As for why I robbed the tomb, I don't think there are so many reasons like what is written in the book, in the final analysis, it is just because the money comes quickly.

Ancient Chinese emperors prevented the theft of the mausoleum, so they dug the mountain to build the mausoleum, or rammed the soil on the mausoleum, and built a tomb, Cao Cao also once built a quicksand tomb But the items they were buried with when they died were too precious and valuable, so they let the tomb robbers covet it.

In ancient times, people would install various mechanisms in the tombs to prevent tomb robbery, and they would secretly repair several tombs at the same time, and finally choose one to be buried. Because ancient people would use a lot of valuable gold, silver and jewelry to accompany the burial, so tomb robbing was repeatedly prohibited.

The first is to look at feng shui, and the second is that you can't take it without asking, and you need to wear a mask to enter.

Before entering the tomb, you must wear a mask, and you can't exhale at the ancient corpse, for fear of cheating the corpse.

It's one kind of self-pickup without asking, and I don't understand the other words.

Don't exhale ancient corpses, don't take off masks, etc.

Look at Feng Shui, wear a mask, and listen carefully.

Wear a mask near the entrance of the grave, feng shui.

Light candles, extinguish candles, and avoid holding dead vessels.

Light candles, don't exhale from corpses, wear masks, don't steal porcelain and jade,

Light candles in the crypt and wear a mask.

Setting up "doubtful graves" is the most common means of preventing tomb robbery, that is, deliberately hiding the tomb site, or setting up a large number of tombs in real and virtual places.

The ancients also attached great importance to the anti-theft and excavation measures of the tombs themselves. The most typical is to use stone to build the tomb, so that the tomb is extremely strong and cannot be "invaded" by outsiders.

In order to prevent tomb robbery, the ancients also used their brains on the shape of the tomb and set up "traps" to lure tomb robbers into being deceived. The most typical is the "sand grave", because the sand is fluid. Fill in sand above the grave roads and grave pits.

When a grave robber digs a grave road or grave pit, the sand automatically buries the poachers, thus protecting the tomb.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a kind of "pouring tomb" was also popular in Taizhou, Nantong and other places. This kind of tomb first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and the wooden coffin of the tomb was covered with lime, coarse sand, glutinous rice pulp and other materials mixed into "glue", which was rammed layer by layer. Chinese medicine is sometimes placed inside the tomb to protect the body.

The shape of the grout tomb is special, and compared with the general ancient tombs, it is not easy to open. Some well-preserved grout tombs are not only safely stored in the coffin with all the burial goods, but also the bones of the tomb owner are well preserved and are not easy to decay.

In some tomb robbing**, and even in ancient documents, it is recorded that there are various mechanisms to prevent tomb robbery in ancient tombs, such as "Fu crossbow", "drug-related", "Fu Huo", and "Maze". In fact, this so-called "mechanism" has never been found in archaeological excavations, and it cannot exist in reality, because arrows are metal, and they will rust and become unusable after a long time.

There is a record of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in the Historical Records, "mercury is used as a hundred rivers and seas, and the machine is instilled", this design, on the one hand, is to reflect the lofty status of Qin Shi Huang's "unity of heaven and man"; On the other hand, it may be to take advantage of the volatile and highly toxic properties of mercury to prevent theft. This design has not yet been confirmed, but it is possible that the enclosure of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang contained a large amount of mercury. This design is not only found in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but also in other imperial tombs.

It is also mentioned in some tomb robbers** that as soon as many tomb robbers open the ancient tombs, a fire breaks out and they are burned to death and burned. This so-called "tomb fire" and "ambush fire" may not be an intentional anti-theft design. It is well known that there are various organic substances buried in the tomb, and after a long period of burial, a combustible gas - biogas.

Grave robbers enter with lanterns, and as soon as the biogas encounters an open flame, a ** or fire will occur. However, the biogas in the tomb does have a certain anti-theft function. Therefore, when archaeological experts are archaeological, when it comes to the critical moment of opening the tomb door, they must let the combustible gas drain and resolutely prevent open flames at the scene.
