With the fires of Ghost Blowing Lights and Tomb Raider Notes, many people are very curious about the role of grave robbers, which is both good and evil. The authors of these two books have a very good description of tomb raiding. The tomb raiding families passed down from generation to generation are only for survival, not for greed, and most of them are cornered by life before they choose to dig graves.
The real grave robbers are not as mysterious as those in these two works, and certainly not so patriotic. Grave robbers are called thieves, but they are still doing illegal things, really? Turn it over to the country? Is the archaeologist.
grave robbers also have grandfathers, and the three most powerful are Xiang Yu, Wu Zixu and Cao Cao, among whom Cao Cao was the pioneer? Official thief? The precedent. It seems that robbing a tomb to get money is not something that little people do specially, and the knowledge is also very great.
Grave robbers are basically groups of several people, each with its own responsibilities.
first of all, the person in charge of watching feng shui. Ancient tombs pay great attention to geomantic omen, because only good geomantic omen can protect future generations. Don't say that it is a royal family, that is, ordinary people have to choose a feng shui treasure house for burial. Experienced feng shui masters can roughly locate the location of the tomb through the trend of the mountains and the nearby hydrological conditions. Although it is a long time ago, the land turned over is different after all. These feng shui masters can even determine the location of the tomb through the growth of plants in this place.
The people who watch Feng Shui are basically the core of this tomb raiding squad, which is usually the hero in the tomb raiding movies we see.
another person is responsible for detection. Now with sophisticated instruments, the age of the tomb can be roughly inferred after drilling samples of the tomb masonry. After roughly observing the size and direction of the tomb, we can also judge whether the contents are valuable.
The last kind of person is in charge of digging. It sounds like it's doing heavy work, but it's actually very technical. After all, if you commit a crime in the middle of the night, a careless person will dig the grave and collapse it. Not to mention the loss of the treasure inside, your own life is also in it. So the digger must be experienced.
Many grave robbers are family heirlooms, with their own jargon and underground business. There are many rules for grave robbers to accept disciples. After all, they are not doing serious business. Maybe those local daddies who usually appear in farmland to catch loach are very simple and honest on the surface, and they may bring explosives to blow them up at night.
The goal of grave robbers is money, and they certainly don't know how to protect it like archaeologists. After bombing the cemetery, put things in sacks and leave directly, even the bodies will not be spared. That is, because of their existence, many ancestors' treasures have been sent to foreigners' pockets, leaving archaeologists with many historical relics that can be used for scientific research.
