Chapter 1187 Genghis Khan Mausoleum

In this temporary command center, it can be said that it is now the most complete place in China that has the most complete information about the history of Mongolia, even those Mongolian related stone murals within the Arzai Grottoes have been topographed as reference materials.

The process of archaeological excavation is actually like solving a case, often a small clue can pull out shocking answers.

At this time, at the order of Director Guo, several interns who stayed in the command center, inside the sea of books and mountains of literature rummaged around.

“This picture …… looks somewhat familiar ah?”

Zhuang Rui inside the mausoleum palace, this will also frowned is observing the pattern on the golden coffin, before he used the aura to observe this golden coffin, only noticed that the surface of the coffin has a fine picture, but did not look closely, now take a closer look, there is a feeling of familiarity, as if it has been seen somewhere.

This is a cold weapon era siege picture, countless soldiers holding weapons are attacking a huge city, and the city gates are closed, arrows are falling like rain on the walls, in the air also appear from time to time the shadow of a large stone, the attackers died and were heavily injured.

These are all very ordinary images of the siege, and are not surprising enough, but there is an image not far from the city gate that attracts Zhuang Rui.

Not far from the city gates, there were two very tall trees, in the middle of the trees, a lot of ropes were tied, many people kept pulling back the ropes connecting the two trees, pulling the two trees into an arc.

The next picture shows that in the middle of those ropes, there is a huge thick wood, the distance between the two trees is about eight meters, in this way, it is equal to the two trees form a huge incomparable slingshot, and the thick wood in the middle is a huge “bow and arrow”.

Judging from the degree of bending of the two trees, as long as the people behind them let go of their hands, I believe that the “bow and arrow” will be shot towards the city with a thunderous momentum, and the direction of the “arrow” is precisely the city gate that has not been attacked for a long time.

“This image, why does it look so familiar?”

Standing beside Zhuang Rui, Professor Meng, somewhat confused, wanted to reach out and scratch his head, but found that it was blocked by the oxygen mask, and could not help but laugh to himself, said to Zhuang Rui: “I am old, my memory is not as good as it used to be, Xiaozhuang, you’ve been working more in the two years on the history of Mongolia, can you remember if this picture is documented or not?”

Prof. Meng could conclude that he must have seen a similar or the same picture, but how could he not recall in which period of time in Mongolia it happened?

“This is …… what this seems to be ……”

Zhuang Rui was also patting his head through the oxygen mask, suddenly, a bright light flashed in his mind, and Zhuang Rui finally remembered what kind of image this was.

“I remembered, this is a Western Xia siege!”

Zhuang Rui let out an exclamation of surprise, followed by a chagrined pat on the head, before the painstaking efforts, the whole night, only from the coffin of that gold token to learn the identity of the owner of the tomb, if he had noticed the relief image on the coffin, why would it be like this ah?

This picture, Zhuang Rui not long ago had seen, in the Al Zhai grottoes within the many Mongolian stone carvings, recorded this famous battle, and in the secret history of Mongolia has also been mentioned, was described as a great victory of Genghis Khan.

That is in the Genghis Khan conquest of Western Xia, encountered a very strong city, a long time to attack and heavy deaths, in Genghis Khan at his wits’ end, suddenly realized that not far from the city gates, side by side with three large trees.

Genghis Khan had an idea, ordered the three trees in the middle of a cut down, and then in the other two trees tied on the tough cowhide tendons, and then let the army of Hercules, pull the cowhide tendons, the three trees as a siege weapon.

Sure enough, just after the “bow and arrow” shot, the city gate was forced, but also succeeded in capturing the city for the Western Xia is extremely important, later generations have historians have commented that this battle, is Genghis Khan overthrow the Western Xia is the most important battle.

So a battle that became the battle of the Western Xia’s demise, but also Genghis Khan’s life in the north and south of the masterpiece, so in many places have left the battle picture, to proclaim Genghis Khan with the army as God’s brilliant performance.

“Western Xia siege? Then …… then this …… this is not …… Genghis Khan?”

Although Professor Meng was old and decrepit, his brain was not as bad as he said, and his words came out at the same time when Zhuang Rui’s words just fell.

“Western Xia siege?”

Equally shocked and inexplicable, there is also the Director Guo on the ground, because at this moment in front of him, there is a pair of stone carving topography that is extremely similar to the picture on the golden coffin, especially the two trees, which are so conspicuous on the picture.

“Difficult …… could it really be the Genghis Khan Mausoleum?”

Director Guo muttered under his breath, with an unbelievable look on his face, this relief painting on the coffin made the balance of his heart’s judgment on the identity of the tomb’s owner tilt at once.

To know, such as these can be engraved in the coffin or on the walls of the tomb narrative picture, must be to celebrate the great achievements of the tomb owner’s life, even if it is their descendants, also dare not to go to venture to claim the achievements of their ancestors.

“On the wall, there are relief paintings on the wall as well.”

Right at this moment, Dr. Ren’s voice rang out in the headset, after signing that confidentiality agreement, they were also qualified to enter into this second golden chamber at the same time as Zhuang Rui.

The camera, along with Dr. Ren’s words, aimed at the walls that reflected dazzling golden light all around, and sure enough, on the walls of the main chamber, there were also engraved drawings of various war scenes, with delicate strokes, as if they were drawn on paper and silk.

“Director Yun, this …… these gold engravings, must not be damaged ah!”

After seeing those images, Zhuang Rui’s first reaction is to pull the security department of the cloud director, which if you let the previous “demolition team” to come on so, it will be the biggest tragedy in the history of Chinese archaeology and cultural relics.

“Yes, yes, these images are different from the previous gold walls, and have great research value, Minister Ouyang, you have to give a word now, must not let it suffer any damage.”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Prof. Meng also reacted, he didn’t look for Director Yun beside him, but directly spoke to Ouyang Zhenwu of the ground command.

“Teacher Meng, don’t worry, the country has always paid a lot of attention to the protection of cultural relics, I can assure you that not only all the gold beaten items inside this chamber, but also those from earlier, will definitely maintain their original appearance and won’t suffer any damage.”

The voice in Ouyang Zhenwu’s earphone paused for a moment, and then said, “Moreover, at the appropriate time, the state will be announced to the world by this major archaeological excavation, and these burial items, too, will one day appear in people’s sight.”

Ouyang Zhenwu said these words, and is not false, although this batch of gold reserves are huge, but the country does not have them, not so much as what will happen, before not found, is not the same development in the economy well?

National leaders are not fools, these gold was given artistic life, its value is not just with the gold itself can be measured, if you really want to sell, I’m afraid it is in the value of gold multiplied by ten times a hundred times, there are many foreign rich collectors scramble.

And at the right time, these gold items for the world exhibition, the sensational effect, will far exceed the world ever any archaeological expedition excavation, so not only can enhance the national image, in disguise, can also show the world under China’s gold reserves of strong muscles.

“Genghis Khan Mausoleum, is Genghis Khan Mausoleum, did not expect …… it is actually here.”

“Haha, I didn’t expect that the old man is about to go into the ground, but also to catch this archaeological event?”

“That’s right, this archaeology, will rewrite the world’s archaeological history, I suggest, immediately hold a grand press conference to announce this news to the world.”

After the pattern on the golden coffin was confirmed, a cheer rang out within the command center, the mystery that had plagued the crowd for over a month was finally revealed at this moment.

Although only such a picture had been discovered and there was no more conclusive evidence yet, everyone believed that no emperor would engrave someone else’s achievements on his own coffin.

“How …… how is the Genghis Khan Mausoleum ah?”

Perhaps the one who is smiling the most bitterly in the command headquarters right now is none other than Director Guo, although he is also excited about discovering the Genghis Khan’s Mausoleum, but as soon as he remembers the bet with Zhuang Rui, Director Guo can’t be happy anymore.

“Little Guo, what’s wrong? This is a discovery that overturned the history of archaeology! Why the sad face?”

Minister Ouyang, who was thinking about how to announce this major archaeological discovery to the world, turned his face to see Director Guo’s ugly face, and couldn’t help but be a little strange, all the artifacts within this tomb will be under his jurisdiction, so why did he still put on such a bitter face?

“Minister Ouyang, I …… I once made a bet with Zhuang Rui, if this imperial tomb is the tomb of Genghis Khan, I will ……”

After hearing Ouyang Zhenwu’s question, Director Guo’s head was as big as a bucket, but he couldn’t hide from this matter, so he swallowed and said the bet he made with Zhuang Rui.

“This kid, fooling around.”

Ouyang Zhenwu after hearing this, immediately laughed and scolded Zhuang Rui, but then said: “small Guo, our government can not go back on its word, promised to do, but the loan must pay attention to the safety, do not happen to cultural relics lost things.”

To Ouyang Zhenwu this kind of identity, simply not afraid of others say something with power for personal gain words, since Zhuang Rui and Guo director once had such a bet, he did not mind helping his nephew. What’s more, Zhuang Rui found Genghis Khan mausoleum credit, Ouyang Zhenwu is still headache how to reward him, simply use this to get even.
