There were so many emperors in the Zhou Dynasty, why didn't the tombs of the emperors in the Zhou Dynasty be excavated?

The reason why the tomb of the Zhou Dynasty is not easy to find is that its burial method is not a seal or a tree. Even if there are no obvious traces on the ground and no trees are planted, it is really not easy to be found. Later, after the Qin Dynasty, most imperial tombs used earth-sealed tombs. And it has changed from Chinese characters in the past to fenzi. The so-called earth tomb will leave a high and prominent mound. But with the change of time, it is not easy to be found.

The third type is the easiest to find: "taking the mountain as the tomb", which is basically the case in tombs after the Tang Dynasty, and most of them have obvious buildings in front of them, just like where the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are, which can be said to be clear at a glance. Although the tombs of the Zhou Dynasty are hard to find, with the increase of population, digging wells and opening canals, soil erosion and the impact of rain may make those tombs out of the present world. Some tombs in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were discovered because villagers dug wells, but unfortunately during the Republic of China.

These cultural relics were not protected at all, so most of them were stolen by foreigners. It happened on 1928. There is a village called Jincun not far northeast of Baima Temple in Luoyang. This place is located in the plain and rich in water resources, so people in the village are good at drilling wells. But there is a place where well water will be slowly consumed, which is very strange to everyone. Later, it rained heavily and the ground collapsed, only to find that there were many ancient tombs underground. There are some valuable things in it, such as chimes, bronzes and jade articles, all of which are treasures.

At that time, many people took Luoyang shovel and went to Jincun to dig for treasures. Later, the news reached the provincial capital. There are some missionaries in the provincial capital. When they found out, they began to hire local farmers to dig cultural relics in China. Later, many cultural relics of the Zhou Dynasty were lost overseas. One of them, a Canadian named William Charles White, is the representative. He openly manages charities, schools, hospitals and relief work. These precious cultural relics were transported by thieves to Luoyang by carriage and then shipped abroad. Among them, Warner stole the most jade articles, and other cultural relics were transported to Canada and other countries 10, leaving few cultural relics in China.
