Where is the prototype tomb of the nine-story demon tower? Weixue no.1 tomb
1982, an ancient tomb was discovered in Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Later, archaeologists discovered hundreds of ancient tombs nearby. This ancient tomb group was named "Hot Water Tomb Group", among which "Wei Xue No.1 Tomb" was a large-scale tomb, which was said to be the prototype of the "Nine-story Demon Tower" in the novel. Since 20 18, more than 0/000 pieces of various cultural relics have been unearthed in "Wei Xue No.1 Tomb". Recently, archaeologists have made new discoveries.
It is a major archaeological discovery, hence the name "Nine-story Demon Tower". This huge tomb is located in Hot Water Town, about 10km southeast of Chahanwusu Town, Qinghai Province.
This is the most magnificent tomb ever found in Dulan ancient tomb. According to the investigation, it is the Tuguhun mausoleum in the early Tang Dynasty. As early as a few decades ago, this tomb group was included in the six major archaeological discoveries and the top ten archaeological discoveries in China, and it is also recognized as a key cultural relics protection unit in the country.
According to the geomantic architecture, the tomb faces south, with a height of 33m, a length of 55m from east to west and a width of 37m from north to south. Once upon a time, the shape of this tomb looked like a "gold", so this ancient tomb was also called the "Oriental Pyramid". There are two mountains behind the tomb, extending like two dragons, and there are many animal sacrifice pits in the south of the tomb.
There is a three-layer fence made of mud and stone under the tomb. From top to bottom, every 1m, there are neatly arranged cypress trees across the mound, one * * *, as many as nine floors, so it is called "nine-story demon building" by the locals.
According to archaeologists, it took at least 10,000 people more than a year to build such a tomb in ancient times. Such a magnificent and unique architectural style undoubtedly excites archaeologists.
From the discovery of 1982 to now, the great tomb of archaeologists has been excavated and rescued. Although it has been excavated many times, our staff still found many precious cultural relics.
At present, only two of them have been excavated, and the precious cultural relics unearthed are dazzling: gold, silver, jade pottery, brocade socks, leather boots, lacquerware, wooden dishes, wooden birds and beasts, Roman gold coins, Persian silver coins and so on.
There is also a precious tapestry with Polo characters used by people in the Middle Ages. It is the only Persian brocade found in the world in the eighth century, which reads "the king among kings", which amazed archaeologists.
But so far, nothing has been found to prove the identity of the tomb owner, but judging from the scale of the tomb, the tomb owner must have an unusual and prominent identity at that time.
The ancient tomb was stolen, but unfortunately, when the archaeologists in China discovered it, the ancient tomb and more than 200 small tombs around it were all stolen by grave robbers. The tomb is 33 meters high, 55 meters long from east to west and 37 meters wide from north to south. From the front of the tomb, it looks like a "golden" son, so it is also called the "Oriental Pyramid".
Behind this tomb, there are two mountains stretching like two dragons, and the tomb is like a treasure bead, which together constitute a kind of "double dragons playing with pearls". According to experts' calculations, it will take at least 10,000 people a year to build this tomb, which shows how grand the scale is. This tomb belongs to the Turpan royal family in the Tang Dynasty and is of great research value.
