One of them is the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong – the son of Trieu Trong Thuy, the grandson of Trieu Da! Discovered the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong – Trong Thuy’s son In June 1983, a worker was working on a construction site at the foot of Xianggang Mountain, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, when his foot fell into a pit. This pit is very deep, when colleagues shine their lights on, they only see a pitch black color like a “bottomless pit”. The other worker was lucky to be uninjured and was quickly pulled up, after which he said there were huge copper cauldrons underneath the hole. Understanding that this was an ancient tomb, the construction team quickly reported it to the Guangzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. The mausoleum is located 17m underground. Photo: 360doc. The first house is located 17m deep underground and is built of giant stone slabs. Preliminary excavation shows that the tomb has a total of 7 rooms, walls up to 12m high, on the walls there are frescoes depicting the sun and moon gods. Fortunately, this tomb has never been looted, inside there are still 10,000 cultural relics such as bronze pots, ceramics, lacquerware… The heavy heavy stone gate and 15 skeletons of people who were buried with them (concubines and servants) indicate certainly the grave of someone of the highest rank – a king. The seal revealed the identity of the South Vietnamese king Trieu Van Vuong. Photo: 360doc. Finally, the archaeological team found a seal that showed The owner of the tomb is the second king of the Trieu Dynasty of Nam Viet – Trieu Van Vuong. Trieu Van Vuong called Trieu Mat, the eldest grandson of Trieu Da, the son of Trieu Trong Thuy, who ascended the throne in 137 BC. Trieu Van Vuong’s tomb is very elaborately decorated. The king’s body lies in a 1.73 meter long jade mourning robe, made of 2291 pieces of jade, silk and linen. Jade robe is the most advanced burial costume under the Han Dynasty (contemporary with Nam Viet), only for people of noble status with superstitious belief that jade has the effect of preserving bones, keeping the body of the dead person is whole and waiting for the opportunity to be reborn. The set of jewels of Trieu Van Vuong. Photo: 360doc Trieu Van Vuong’s tomb is also buried with huge jade treasures, gold inlaid swords, bronze bells and thousands of overwhelming treasures. Currently, these relics are on display in the Emperor Zhaowen Museum in Guangzhou, China. Who is Trieu Van Vuong, son of Trong Thuy? Nam Viet was founded in 204 BC an area in Guangdong province and intersected with Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The kingdom lasted for 93 years and in turn experienced 5 kings. Trieu Da, a former general in the military regime of Qin Shi Huang, was the founder of the kingdom. According to the “Dai Viet History of the Complete Book”, Because Trieu Trong Thuy (Trieu Da’s son, An Duong Vuong’s son-in-law) had died before his father, Trieu Mat was chosen as the successor to King Nam Viet. The Emperor Zhaowen Museum in Guangzhou City, China is the place to keep a huge treasure in the tomb of the King of South Vietnam. Photo: 360doc. In his reigning life, Trieu Van Vuong did not have too many achievements, compared to his predecessor, Trieu Da, was also considered to be lack of determination and weakness. He ruled the country of Nam Viet for 12 years, always keeping the agreement with the Han Dynasty, wanting to use justice to sympathize with the neighboring country, repel the enemy, and keep the border at peace. About Trieu Van Vuong’s mother, many people will question whether Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is Princess My Chau? There are not many documents about who Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is, but the book “Thien Nam Luc Luc” – An anonymous work written in Nom script, born around the end of the seventeenth century, records that My Chau had a son. This boy is very much loved by his grandfather, An Duong Vuong, and the king plans to pass the throne to him in the future. However, this boy was brought home by Trong Thuy when he used the excuse to visit his parents, but expressed that in case someone inherits his family line, something should happen. In this case, it is possible that Trieu Van Vuong’s mother is Princess My Chau! Let’s look at the burial items in the tomb of Trieu Van Vuong: The mausoleum owns more than 10,000 burial items.

Accordingly, scientists studied and analyzed two of 15 ancient tombs discovered in the 1920s at the Valsgärde farm, on the outskirts of the city of Uppsala, central Sweden. Specifically, two ancient tombs are the resting place of two warriors from the 7th century. They were buried in boats with helmets, shields and elaborately decorated weapons, even with puzzle pieces. play. The boats carrying the remains of the two warriors were about 9m long each, with 4-5 pairs of oars. Warrior helmet… and elaborately decorated weapons found in ancient tombs. The remains of the two warriors were laid on a soft mattress, stuffed with the feathers of various birds. Researchers believe that the ancients prepared these items in the hope that the journey to the afterlife of the deceased would be easier. Microscopic analysis showed that the feathers in the mattress were taken from geese, ducks, partridges, crows, sparrows, wading birds (swamp birds) and even eagle owls. More strangely, in a grave, there is an Eurasian card owl with its head cut off. Horse bones and other animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, snowy owls, partridges, ducks, geese, and northern pike) were also found near the boats when they were buried about 1,400 years ago. There are also animal-related artifacts, including 20 horseshoes, one saddle, four bridles, and 4-5 dog leashes. “The warriors seem to be equipped to sail to the afterlife, and can also go ashore with the help of horses. We guessed that the choice of down blankets could have a deeper, more symbolic meaning,” said Professor Birgitta Berglund of the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Feathers are used to make blankets for the dead. Various animals and related artifacts were buried with the boat. According to Norse folklore, the stuffed feathers in bedding for the dying are very important. Professor Berglund explained, the ancients believed that using feathers of domestic chickens, owls, birds of prey, pigeons, crows and squirrels would help prolong the time of “fighting” with death. “In some parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula, goose feathers are considered the best item to help the soul escape from the body,” he points out. The soft feathers in the Valsgärde tombs, the oldest known to have been found in Scandinavia, suggest that the two warriors belonged to the highest class of Iron Age society there. Wealthy Greeks and Romans had been bedridden for hundreds of years before that, but the rich in Europe probably didn’t use it widely until the Middle Ages, Mr. Berglund said. Mr Berglund believes that the decapitated owl was related to the burial ritual. The keeping of birds of prey like eagle owls has long been a status symbol, according to the researchers. “It’s possible that the owls’ heads were cut off to prevent it from coming back,” said the professor, referring to the swords bent in front of the Viking-era mausoleum to prevent the dead from using weapons should they return from the realm of the dead. died. Dead warriors are well-equipped for the journey to the afterlife. Valsgärde began to be excavated in 1928 by archaeologists from the Uppsala University Museum today. More than 90 tombs from the Iron Age were discovered here, including 15 warriors buried by boat burial from the late Iron Age (570–1030 AD). The two tombs that have been the focus of new research are named Valsgärde 7 and 8, both dating to the 7th century. According to Professor Berglund, Valsgärde 7 was excavated in 1933, while Valsgärde 8 was excavated. in 1936. In addition to revealing Iron Age burial rituals, the new study also determines whether feathers used as blankets for warriors were imported or sourced from local birds. If it was imported feathers, this would open the door to a certain historical trade route. Study co-author, biologist Jørgen Rosvold, from the Norwegian Institute of Natural History (NINA), said that making the feather material is time-consuming and challenging for several reasons. “I am still amazed at how well the feathers are preserved despite the fact that they have been lying in the ground for more than 1,000 years,” he said. Research results show that feathers are obtained from different types of birds locally, not through import. “The feathers provide new perspectives on past relationships between humans and birds. Archaeological excavations rarely find traces of birds other than those used for food,” concluded Berglund.

From the three-bedroom apartment with city views, Gekoski easily sees Pasay’s public cemetery. He didn’t realize how miserable life right next to him was until he embarked on a photo project in collaboration with the NGO Lady Freethinker. In the photo, a skinny dog ​​is standing on the top of the tomb. It is one of at least 400 animals living in the cemetery with about 300 families. In this place, some people even have to find leftovers in the trash to get through the day. “I have never seen a place where people live, sleep on graves. As a photographer, I want to tell the story I have witnessed. What I see is not despair but a cohesive community. They still shine with hope despite struggling with difficulties most of us can’t even imagine,” he said. The same suffering as humans are dogs. In the cemetery, everything is almost zero: no running water, no cleaning services, no electricity… Therefore, the dogs here mostly look emaciated. They huddled in the dark, curled up in the aisle, tails curling around their bony bodies. In the photo, Mrs. Cura (65 years old) with her chained dog. She is raising 5 dogs in the cemetery and wants to leave one day soon. Life in the cemetery for many has spanned several generations. They live on money taking care of the graves of rich families, carving steles or selling flowers… Many people want to leave but can’t. Because they live in cemeteries, they do not have access to health care, education, sanitation services, etc. This makes it difficult for them to find outside work. In the photo, Honey (18 years old) lives with 8 dogs and her parents. Ashley Fruno, founder of Pasay Pups – an organization that works for animal and children’s rights – regularly and volunteers visit, care for and vaccinate animals at the cemetery every week. They also hold discussions on the proper care of animals and give supplies to children. However, the pandemic makes weekly visits more difficult. The Pasay government has organized strict social distancing that prevents people living in the cemetery from leaving half a step. Because of their inability to go out, the cemetery’s residents have very limited access to food. They also cannot search for scraps to cover their daily lives. Pasay Pups has donated rice, soap, reusable masks twice a month. However, the number of volunteers is also decreasing day by day. “It’s shocking that they are provided with very few necessities to get through the days of social distancing,” Fruno said. Even so, even when the photos were made public, the Pasay government made no official comment. Sharing with The Guardian, Fruno and photographer Gekoski hope the photos will help people and animals in Pasay cemetery better in the future. Pasay, a city in metropolitan Manila (Philippines) has nearly 416,000 people living in an area of ​​about 18 square kilometers. It is described on tourist forums as a destination for “culture, shopping, relaxation and horror”. Gekoski’s series of photographs expose the lives of poverty that people and animals have to endure in cemeteries.

In October of the following year, her body was buried in Dong Lang. It is rumored that when Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, inside her coffin and inside her tomb were buried countless jewels and ivory, arranged in mountains after mountains. It was also because of that number of treasures of inter-city value that Tu Xi’s grave was infiltrated and plundered by Sun Dien Anh, creating the famous “Dong Lang tomb robbery” in Chinese history. In July 1928, about 20 years after Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, a branch of warlords led by Sun Dien Anh came to destroy the queen’s eternal sleep in the palace, while another branch advanced. Emperor Qianlong’s mausoleum. They broke open coffins, plundered treasures, and sent a large number of precious items to foreign countries, causing great damage to the history of Chinese artifacts. At that time, the army led by Ton Dien Anh was an army branch sent by the Nationalist Army to destroy the bandits. On the way, Ton Dien Anh was attracted by the magnificence and wealth of the Dong mausoleum, because he wanted to rob the gold and silver in it, he devised a way to steal the grave. To hide the eyes and ears of others, Sun Dien Anh used the excuse that the army needed to practice, sent the small group of soldiers guarding the mausoleum to another place, and then began to prepare to carry out his theft. Sun Dien Anh is holding a relic taken from the Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi. The entrance to the tomb of the Royal Family is very secret and discreet, just to prevent tomb thieves from stealing. Initially, Ton Dien Anh’s group could not find the entrance to the underground palace, they dug around, demolished many places but still could not find the entrance. Later, when they heard that an old man had built a mausoleum before, they knew that behind the Ming Lou there was a “silent institute”, specializing in recruiting dumb workers to build and repair the Qing mausoleum. Behind the lapis lazuli relief wall on the north side of the courtyard is the entrance to the palace where Emperor Qianlong is buried. Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi is different, you have to go to the door of an ancient cave at the foot of Minh long before you can enter the palace. Whether it is Emperor Qianlong’s tomb or Empress Dowager Cixi’s tomb, the entrance is extremely solid, the “diamond” doors are not easy to open. The group of Ton Dien Anh people with greedy minds directly used dynamite to blow up the entrance, so both tombs have traces of being destroyed by explosives. Sun Dien Anh led a group of bandits to excavate the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, entering the palace earlier than the group that robbed Emperor Qianlong’s tomb. The group of grave robbers carried things out of the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi. After they violently destroyed Cixi’s coffin, they were dazzled by countless gold and silver jewels in it. Therefore, the bandits frantically plundered, looted and buried the treasures in the coffin, and Tu Xi’s body was also destroyed. According to the rehabilitation staff, there was an incision in the mouth of the Empress Dowager, which was caused when Ton Dien Anh wanted to steal the Da Ming Chau in her mouth, even personal items such as hats. phoenix, robes… were all robbed, and Cixi’s body was then thrown next to the coffin. Emperor Qianlong’s palace was also seriously damaged, the underground palace already had standing water inside, after the treasure was robbed, the bones of the Qianlong Emperor were also lost along the water. As for the remains of Empress Hieu Hien and the three concubines, they were also lost in one place, only Queen Hieu Nghi was preserved because the body had not rotted. After the incident was revealed, the whole country’s public opinion boiled, especially the remaining descendants of the royal family of the Manchu dynasty, they were extremely angry when the ancestor’s tomb was stolen, the ancestor’s body was destroyed. Pray for strict punishment for stealing the grave of Ton Dien Anh. But Ton Dien Anh, because he wanted to get rid of the crime, took the stolen treasures to be scattered everywhere, on the contrary, he also found a dignified excuse to justify that: “The Manchus harmed our ancestors of three generations, stole and destroyed The grave is just for the sake of revenge, which is a reluctant thing to do.” Then, under the reconciliation of the parties, the tomb thief Dong Lang Ton Dien Anh also escaped punishment. After the grave robbery, Ton Dien Anh lived as an outlaw for more than 20 years, was finally captured by the liberation army, and died in a war crime prison in 1947. Son of Ton Dien Anh The only son of Ton Dien Anh, Ton Thien Nghia, took a completely different path from his father. He is a talented person, having held the position of Principal of Xi’an Foreign Language School, Vice President of China Translators Association, Vice President of China Association for International Education Exchange… With his contributions and dedication, Ton Thien Nghia is considered as a person who is “industrious, devoted, rigorously academically researched”. Moreover, he also has a very special identity, that is the guardian of the Emperor’s mausoleum. Ton Thien Nghia holds the position of Chairman of the Tomb Conservation Budget, has made great contributions to the protection of cultural artifacts and the restoration of antiquities. The path of Ton Thien Nghia is completely opposite to his father’s theft and robbery in the past. Mr. Ton Thien Nghia.

Qin Shi Huang is always looking for the way to immortality for his life, but unfortunately still can’t find a way. So he decided to build a magnificent palace underground and that is also the tomb after his death. One of the mysteries surrounding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang discovered by scientists is the extremely large amount of mercury inside. Many conjectures say that the amount of mercury in the underground palace can be up to several tons, even hundreds of tons, which is why grave thieves cannot enter. Many questions arise, what is the real function of this mercury? Is it for anti-theft as inferred? According to research on the history before the time of Qin Shi Huang, scientists did not find mercury to have much effect, and only detected a small amount of mercury in the type of mummification. The original hypothesis was that mercury could act as an anti-corrosion agent. But when discovered in the underground palace, a relatively closed insulation layer is formed due to the function of mercury. Many other opinions say that Qin Shi Huang used mercury to prevent theft. However, when returning to the history of the time when Qin Shi Huang unified China, people’s understanding of the uses and harms of mercury was not known. It wasn’t until the Han Dynasty that people began to know that mercury contained toxic substances. The river of mercury inside the tomb. The final conclusion was reached, the reason why Qin Shi Huang used a large amount of mercury in his tomb to prevent his body from rotting due to its anti-corrosion function. With the large amount of mercury in the tomb, his coffin was left in the riverbed for a long time while still remaining remarkably intact. Maybe Qin Shi Huang still holds the hope that one day in the future, he will wake up. This is even more important than theft prevention. How deep is the tomb? The most recent survey of archaeologists has shown that the underground tomb of Qin Shi Huang is 260m long from east to west and 160m wide from north to south. The total area is 41,600 m2. This is the largest mausoleum in the Qin and Han dynasties, its size is equivalent to 5 international football fields. Later archaeologists used a drill and proved that this tomb was designed vertically. Sima Thien once said, the length of this tomb is longer than 3 rivers combined. According to the book “Rites of the Han Dynasty”, the end of this tomb is immeasurable. That proves that the tomb has reached the deepest possible depth with the level of science and technology at that time. But how deep the tomb really is, no one has the exact answer. The Mystery of the Terracotta Warrior According to unofficial records, Xiang Yu – the king of the Zhou state, who overthrew the Qin empire, ended up perishing at the hands of the “Terquered Army”. He was eliminated by five cavalrymen on the banks of the Wujiang River. They were Qin soldiers from the Guanzhong region and were used as prototypes for Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Cavalry. Does the tomb have “9 floors of hell”? Looking down from above, you can clearly see, the pyramid is square, so the Americans call it “dwarf pyramid”. Paradoxically, the inverted pyramidal shape of the mound seems to coincide with the saying “9 floors of hell” and this is completely unique in the world. Qin Shi Huang is a freak, this mystery can only seem to be revealed by archaeological discoveries. How many entrances does the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang have? According to “History of Sima Qian”, a great history book written by Sima Qian: When the emperor died, he was taken to the tomb. After that, the main door was closed and the outer gate was also completely closed. All the craftsmen were buried with the emperor. “This proves that the tomb has three gates: the outer gate, the central gate and a secret gate. It is believed that the middle gate was locked automatically to prevent any intrusion from the inside or outside. And the three doors are placed in a straight line.”

Li Bai (701-762) was one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty in China. He is not only known as a great poet, he is also known as “Zu Trung Tien” because of his rare wine-loving style. In particular, in his poems, there was once a cup of wine that could not be exhausted no matter how he drank it: “The ladle of the falcon, the cup of the parrot, one hundred five thirty-six thousand days, one day should be inclined three hundred cups.” (Tuong Duong ca). The cup of wine “drinking forever” really exists in history. Photo: Sina Archaeologists have always been very interested in the “parrot cup” or “parrot cup” that Li Bai refers to, but such artifacts have never been excavated. It was not until the discovery of an ancient Jin Dynasty (317 – 420) tomb in 1965 that archaeologists found the strange wine glass described in these poems. Invention ahead of its time In 1965, archaeologists discovered a family tomb in Xiangshan, Nanjing. Based on the stele unearthed, the archaeological team judged that the owner of the tomb belonged to the Vuong family, one of the four largest clans of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Here, in addition to finding a large number of burial items, which are of great value to the study of family culture and funeral customs of the Wei and Jin dynasties, scientists were also very surprised. when unearthed a large snail shell in the grave . The cup was unearthed. Photo: Sina The appearance of the Anh Vu snail caused a lot of controversy in the professional world, because this was the first time they unearthed a strange artifact. Through research, the experts eventually discovered: It turns out that this is the famous “parrot cup” in history, this cup is originally made from Anh Vu snail shell. Perhaps, the owner of the tomb is also a person with a passion for wine like poet Ly Bach, so he decided to bring this cup to his final resting place. This is the first time people have unearthed a parrot cup, so experts are very interested and want to study why the parrot cup can contain such a large amount of alcohol, because from the outside, this is really a normal Anh Vu snail shell, nothing special. The secret inside To find out the answer to this problem, experts decided to take an X-ray of the cup, it turned out that the image of “300 cup tilting day” in Li Bai’s poetry was not a product of pompous tricks, it’s true. Inside the parrot cup there are lots of naturally created nets that occupy the dense interior of the prison and, all hidden nets are connected by small holes. When the ancients poured wine into the parrot cup, the wine would gradually seep into the net through small holes. In this way, when the ancients poured wine from a parrot cup, the wine inside would not be poured out all at once, but flowed out little by little under the influence of air pressure.In this way, it gives the illusion that the alcohol in it never runs out. Recreate the image inside the parrot cup. Photo: Sina After the experts learned this secret, they felt great admiration for the wisdom of the ancients. The working principle of the parrot cup is very similar to today’s activated carbon, it uses the spatial structure inside the object to achieve the purpose of slowing down the flow. Drinking with a small glass of wine with such a long pouring power is very elegant and rich in emotion, so the parrot cup is always sought after by antique wine lovers. The parrot cup is so popular, but why has it disappeared from history? Experts believe that the cause is due to the main material of the cup – the Anh Vu snail, which has a very small number. This animal lives on the seabed several hundred meters deep in the tropics and subtropics, so it is not easy to find.

A false door dated to 2,400 BC. Photo: Sharron Mollerus. What is a fake door? False doors were one of the most common architectural features in ancient Egyptian tombs, mainly royal tombs, dating back to the Egypt’s Old Kingdom period. False doors first appeared in the Mastaba . tombs [loại mộ cổ hình chóp cụt] It belonged to the Third Dynasty and was widely used in tombs of the Fourth to Sixth Dynasties. False doors are usually made from a monolithic limestone rock, sometimes painted red with black spots. Its shape resembles a real door with an outer frame but is longer and narrower, such as the false door in Sean Khui Ptah’s tomb located in the Teti cemetery in Saqqara, Egypt. However, in the tomb of Hesire lăng [bác sĩ của Pharaoh Djoser] and many others, false doors can be made of wood. The fake door is almost always fixed in place. But in rare cases, they can be teleported. The original form of the false door was just a small alcove facing the west. Then, the ancient Egyptians carved out a square or rectangle at the top where they believed that gods or dead relatives would appear to receive offerings. The sides of the door are stone and linoleum [bộ phận nằm trên khung cửa có tác dụng đỡ mảng tường gạch phía trên] where the Egyptians wrote hieroglyphs. During the nearly 150-year rule of Sixth Dynasty pharaohs including Pepi I, Merenre and Pepi II, the false door underwent a series of design and layout changes. Based on that, historians can date many tombs based on the characteristics of the false doors. After the First Intermediate Period, the popularity of false doors in tombs dwindled. During the New Kingdom period, false doors became simpler, just drawings on the flat surface of a wall or stele engraved with hieroglyphs. Sometimes, fake doors are painted on the sides of the stone coffin. A grave may consist of two false doors, one for the owner of the grave and the other for his or her spouse. Also, in some cases of extended family graves, each member has their own false door. Gateway to the afterlife For the ancient Egyptians, false doors were considered a gateway between the world of the living and the world of the dead. They believe that the souls of deceased relatives can pass through this door to receive offerings or offerings. The false door is usually located on the west wall of the main room in the chapel, or altar room. It is meticulously decorated, bearing the name and title of the owner of the tomb. The hieroglyphic content on the false door also refers to offerings for the deceased. Sometimes it was a curse meant to protect the mummy and their spiritual journey after death. Anyone who dares to enter or tamper with the mummy’s tomb will be met with bad luck and inevitable death. However, those with good intentions who come to make offerings will be blessed. For example, the false door in Redi-ness’s tomb at Giza (Egypt) records the following: “I never wanted to harm anyone. But anyone who dares trespass on my resting place will be punished by the gods.” The life-sized statue is walking through the fake door. Photo: Wikimedia In some of the tombs, life-sized statues were created walking out of the center of the false door. On either side of the door were painted two servants accompanying them to show their noble status. Usually, in front of the fake door there will be a stone table – where offerings for the dead are placed. Offerings can be real food or symbolic food carved directly on the table such as bread, beer, chicken, beef, etc. Currently, fake doors are one of the unique architectural features of the ancient Egyptians that are interested and studied. Although many fake doors still exist in the mausoleum grounds, there are a few that have been removed and displayed in different museums around the world. Fake door outside Egypt Egypt is not the only place where strange fake doors can be found. In 1996, tour guide Jose Luis Delgado Mamani accidentally discovered a stone gate 7m high, 2m wide in the mountains of Hayu Marca, about 35 km from the Peruvian city of Puno. It was named the “Gate of Gods”, or “Gate of the Gods”. According to legend, anyone who walks through the Gate of God will become immortal. The native Indians believe that the great heroes of the past passed through this gate to enter the land of the gods and enjoy eternal life. Gate of God in Peru. Photo: Alamy In addition to the Divine Gate in Peru, there are many ancient structures that are said to be portals to other worlds. For example, the Stonehenge stone circle in England; Gate of the Sun in Tiahuanaco, Bolivia; The Star Gate in Sri Lanka, … In January 2018, archaeologists discovered a fake door in a Greek tomb at the Al-Abd archaeological site in Alexandria. Dr Ayman Ashmawy, an expert in Egyptian antiquities, said that the fake door in this case played a role in misleading thieves, making it impossible for them to find the real door of the tomb.

Located in the town of Czermna, Poland, the Kaplica Czaszek church is known as the world famous human skeleton church. Outside the Kaplica Czaszek church looks like many other structures. However, inside this unique church is decorated with more than 3,000 human skeletons. These thousands of human skeletons belong to those who died in war or died of disease in the 1600s – 1700s. These human skeletons are arranged as a work of art that makes many people feel cold when looking at them. In it, skull and leg bones are meticulously arranged on the ceiling and on the wall. The remaining bones are placed behind a secret door in the crypt at the foot of the church. Father Vaclav Tomasek is the one who arranges thousands of skeletons in the Kaplica Czaszek church. He came up with the idea of ​​decorating the church with human bones when he visited makeshift graves and sketchy memorials for soldiers and civilians who died of wars and epidemics. Therefore, priest Vaclav Tomasek collected the remains and brought them back to the Kaplica Czaszek church to clean and arrange them on the walls and ceiling. Father Vaclav Tomasek completed the decoration of the Kaplica Czaszek church with human bones between 1776 and 1804. After the death of priest Vaclav Tomasek in 1804, his remains were also placed on the altar before God in the Kaplica Czaszek church. In the following decades, the Kaplica Czaszek church became a world famous tourist destination when decorated with unique “masterpieces” of human bones.

Hashima Island (Japan): This island has been abandoned since 1974. At the end of the 19th century, this place used to be a busy coal mine. Hashima can be seen as a symbol of the industrialization process in Japan. However, oil gradually replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, which was the main cause of the end of the coal mining industry activities on the island. Image: Getty. Today, Hashima is left with only ruins, gloomy. The special space of the island makes it chosen as the filming location for many movies such as Skyfall, Attack on Titan… The island was officially opened to tourists in 2009. In 2015, UNESCO decided to make it public. Hashima as a World Heritage Site. Photo: Mail Online. North Brother Island (USA): Less than 2 km from Manhattan (New York, USA), this abandoned island has caused a lot of curiosity for half a century. The island’s past is associated with disease, death… From the years 1880 to 1943, the New York government used the island as a place to isolate patients with infectious diseases. Typhoid Mary Mallon – the first person in American history to contract typhoid but show no symptoms – was once isolated here until her death. Image: Cubed. Currently, the government does not allow people to come here for the purpose of tourism, sightseeing… Only a few with special reasons are allowed to visit this island. To get here, you need to take a boat across the East River. A lot of police appear in this area. According to Insider, this may be due to the island’s location near the Rikers Island prison. In addition, the police are also wary of people who intend to approach North Brother Island. Photo: Atlas Obscura. Hirta Island (Scotland): Many traces indicate that humans lived on Hirta Island in the St. Kilda from prehistoric times. However, all of them had to be relocated in 1930 because of the risk of starvation and extreme weather conditions. Image: Sobt. According to Atlas Obscura, since the beginning of the 20th century, the life of the people on the island has been greatly disturbed when delegations from the mainland appeared. They brought with them many interesting cultures and new diseases. In 1930, after the death of a young woman from appendicitis and pneumonia, the islanders were terrified. They asked to be evacuated and live on land. The evacuation took place on August 29, 1930. Before boarding, each person left a plate of oats and an open Bible in the house. Photo: Hudu Trip. Herschel Island (Canada): In 1826, the first Europeans set foot on the island. At that time, the island became a whaling place for about 2,000 people. By the early years of the 20th century, however, whaling had begun to subside. The last family living on Herschel Island left in 1987. Since then, the government has established the Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park with an area of ​​​​the entire island. Image: Wikiwand. Holland Island (USA): The first people to settle on the island began around 1600. Over time, fishing and agriculture developed, attracting many people and sailors to settle. In its most glorious period, the island had about 70 buildings including houses, shops, schools, post offices, churches, medical stations… Photo: Sometimes Interesting. However, the erosion caused Holland Island to gradually disappear from the map. The people tried to save the island in many ways but all failed. This forced them to leave the island to find safer places. Some still cling to the belief that mother nature will “forgave” them.

Under the feudalism, the Chinese emperor not only focused on handling the main dynasty for the nation’s peace, but also devoted a lot of enthusiasm to the preparation of the thousands of autumn resting places. This is the reason, many princes prepare the tomb for themselves right after taking the throne, especially looking for places to build the tomb. According to feng-shui experts, the emperor’s tomb must be built in a place with extremely flourishing feng-shui features with a view of the river and mountain. In particular, the tomb construction site must be located on the long artery. This is considered one of the most important factors for the emperor’s eternal resting place. Ancient people thought that the dragon is directly related to the prosperity and decline of a dynasty. The emperor is often called the dragon’s leg, so their tomb must be on the dragon’s leg (the main dragon). When the emperor sleeps forever at the tomb in the above position, it will be considered according to the will of God, showing the position and power of the emperor. In addition, the emperor’s tomb on the artery also demonstrates the preservation of power and the flourishing of the dynasty in successive kings. In particular, Huangtou mountain (later renamed “Thien Tho”) in Changping, north of Beijing is one of the famous historical sites of arowanas chosen by many emperors as the place to build the mausoleum. Thirteen emperors including Minh Thanh To, 23 queens and dozens of other concubines were buried at tombs at Hoang Tho Mountain.

An ancient tomb was found in an ordinary village, the contents have astounded archaeologists: A banquet table is still intact! In 1993, a resident in Zhangjiakou, Hebei accidentally discovered that there was water seepage on the ground, so he called the concerned person to investigate. Thanks to that, an ancient tomb was discovered. According to experts, these graves belong to a family of Zhang built in the Lieu dynasty, more than a thousand years ago. The entire passage of the tomb is more than 6 meters long, going down the path is the arched tower gate, on this tower gate there are many carved decorations, lifelike patterns. There are two doors underneath the gate, like the houses we see today. The expert opened the door to see two statues on either side, similar to the guard. If you continue forward, there will be another wooden door, which can be opened to enter the back room, where a lot of precious burial items are placed. What surprised the experts, however, was not how luxurious the funeral items were, but a dining table. Photos of the dining table found (Photo: Sohu) In the back room, there is a large round table with eating utensils and fruit and dishes. Although most foods have gone rancid after thousands of years, they can still be distinguished: There are grapes, chestnuts and other common dishes on the table. Because the owner of the tomb believes in Buddhism, the meal is vegetarian, without meat. Next to the table and chairs, seems to want to invite the owner to dine at any time. In addition, there is also a small granary for storing sorghum and grains. There was also a green bottle of water on the table, in which there was a little liquid and an orange-red color, when approaching one could smell a strong aroma, it was deduced that it must be the wine thousands of years ago. . Based on the grapes and wine found, it can be inferred that in the Lieu period, people already had grapes and could use it for wine making. According to the epitaph found in the tomb, it can be speculated that the owner is a Lieu family and has done a lot of good deeds throughout his life, so it is loved by everyone around him. His epitaph also states that by entering the tomb, everyone can sit down and drink a glass of wine, which shows that this person is open and friendly. Rarely, an ancient tomb thousands of years ago can still be kept as intact, it is of great significance for later research. According to Sohu

In 2017, the team found an ice cream jar in the tomb of an aristocrat during the Spring-Autumn period (771-476 BC) in China. The grave is located at the archaeological site of Liujiawa, Chengcheng District, Shaanxi Province, Northwest China. The lotion jar was used 2,700 years ago in China. Photo: University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. “This is China’s oldest men’s cosmetic. It’s also the nation’s earliest known face cream,” said lead researcher from Shaanxi Archaeological Institute – Sun Zhanwei. China News Service . According to Zhanwei, it is not clear what occasions aristocrats in Liujiawa used the lotion. However, it is considered a valuable item and buried according to the deceased. Researchers believe that cosmetics contained in copper jars are facial whitening creams for men. “The nobility use cosmetics as a way to lead the fashion trend. Besides, it also shows their cultural identity,” explained Mr. Zhanwei. The archaeological site is located in the capital of Nhue country during the Spring and Autumn period.

Accordingly, scientists have studied and analyzed two of the 15 ancient tombs discovered in the 1920s on the Valsgärde farm, suburban Uppsala city, central Sweden. Specifically, two ancient tombs are the resting places of two warriors from the 7th century. They are buried in boats with protective helmets, shields and weapons elaborately decorated, even pieces of puzzle pieces. play. The boats carrying the remains of two warriors have a length of more than 9m each, with 4-5 pairs of paddles. Warrior Helmets … and elaborately decorated weapon found in ancient tombs. The remains of the two warriors are placed on a smooth cushion, stuffed with feathers of a variety of birds. Researchers believe that the ancients prepared these items in the hope that the deceased’s journey to the underworld would be easier. Microscopic analysis showed that feathers in cover cover were obtained from geese, ducks, grouse, crows, sparrows, wading birds (swamp birds) and even eagle owls. More strangely, in one tomb, there was an Asian-European wild owl whose head was cut off. Horse bones and other animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, snow owls, black grouse, ducks, geese and northern pike) were also found near the boat when they were buried about 1,400 years ago. There are also artifacts related to animals, including 20 horseshoes, a saddle, four reins, and 4-5 dog leashes. “The warriors seem to be equipped to row into the afterlife, while also being able to land with the help of horses. We guess the choice of feather stuffed with blankets could have a deeper, more symbolic meaning, ”said Professor Birgitta Berglund of the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Feather used as a blanket for the dead Various animals and related artifacts were buried with boats. According to Nordic folklore, feathers stuffed in a blanket for the dying person are very important. Professor Berglund explained that the ancients believed that using feathers, owls, birds of prey, pigeons, crows and squirrels would help prolong the time of “fighting” with death. “In some parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula, goose feathers are considered the best item to help the soul escape from the body,” he points out. The soft feathers in the Valsgärde tombs, the oldest known to be found in the Scandinavian Peninsula, show that the two warriors were among the highest classes of Iron Age society here. The wealthy Greeks and Romans had been lying in bed for the past hundred years, said Berglund, but that the rich in Europe probably did not use it widely until the Middle Ages. Berglund believes that the beheaded owl has implications for burial rituals. According to the researchers, keeping birds of prey like eagle owls has long been a status symbol. “Maybe the owl’s head was cut off to prevent it from coming back,” the professor referred to the swords that were bent in front of the Viking-era tomb to prevent the dead from using weapons if they returned from the realms. died. The dead warriors are well equipped for their journey to the afterlife. Valsgärde was excavated in 1928 by archaeologists from the University Museum of Uppsala today. Here discovered more than 90 tombs from the Iron Age, of which 15 tombs of warriors were buried in the form of boats from the end of the Iron Age (AD 570–1030). The two graves that are the focus of a new study called Valsgärde 7 and 8, both date to the 7th century. According to Professor Berglund, Valsgärde 7 was unearthed in 1933, while Valsgärde 8 was unearthed. in 1936. Besides revealing the Iron Age burial ceremony, the new study also identified feathers as buffers for warriors who were imported or obtained from local birds. If it is imported feathers, this will open up the assumption about a certain historical trade route. Making feather materials is time consuming and challenging for many reasons, said study co-author Jørgen Rosvold, from the Norwegian Institute of Natural History (NINA). “I am still amazed at how well preserved the feathers are despite the fact that they have been lying underground for more than 1,000 years,” he said. The study results showed that the feathers were obtained from different local birds, not through the import route. “The feathers provide new perspectives on the relationship between humans and birds in the past. Archaeological excavations have rarely found traces of birds other than those used for food, ”concluded Mr Berglund.
