As we all know, China has a long history, and countless treasures are buried in many precious ancient tombs. These treasures represent the historical period, people's life, culture and economic development at that time. The excavation of ancient tombs plays a very important role in understanding ancient culture and history. Now another ancient tomb has been found in Yimeng Mountain, Shandong Province, which surprised archaeologists.
A pyramid with three springs was found in Shandong.
There is an obvious feature in Yimeng mountain area of Shandong province, that is, there are steep mountain walls around the mountain, but the top of the mountain is very flat. Very much like the pyramids in Egypt.
More uniquely, there are springs on the Yimeng Mountain. Spring water gurgles out of these springs and is regarded as a treasure trove of geomantic omen by local people. The local authorities are also preparing to develop this place into a tourist attraction, but at this time a big secret was revealed.
The tomb of King Ji with the mountain as the tomb.
During the excavation, the builders found some ancient bronzes and immediately reported them to the relevant departments. After expert appraisal, this is actually a large ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period. Through excavation, hundreds of precious cultural relics and bronzes unique to that period were unearthed.
Different from other tombs in the Spring and Autumn Period, this tomb was built in a special geographical location, which is very rare. So this tomb was not stolen, and it was well preserved. Now, the monarch has been sleeping here for thousands of years, undisturbed by outsiders.
What do archaeologists say about this?
When seeing these precious cultural relics excavated by construction workers at that time, archaeologists concluded that a great man should be buried here. As expected, the monarch of Qi State in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was buried here. After the demise of Qi, he fled to Shandong with his ministers and residents, found this mountain, lived on it, and was buried here after his death.
