The safest tomb in ancient times was leveled with "ten thousand horses" after burial. Expert: Grave robbers can't be found.

After thousands of years' development, the feudal dynasty in ancient China formed its own unique system, with strong feudal color and superstitious thoughts hanging over the feudal dynasty, which made people highly dependent on the knowledge of Feng Shui, especially the burial ceremony after death. In the eyes of ancient people, there is an afterlife after death, so the end of this life is very important, especially those powerful emperors, who began to plan their graves early.

According to the ancient hierarchical system, the specifications of the emperor's tomb should be the highest, which can be seen from our current archaeological situation. But strangely, there was an emperor in the Yuan Dynasty who had no tomb, but it was also called the safest tomb in the history of China. What about this?

According to the Ming Dynasty's Caomuzi, an emperor died in the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he didn't start building the imperial tomb like other emperors, but before he died, he arranged for his cronies to make a coffin out of two hollowed-out logs according to the shape of the human body, then put the emperor's body in, closed it and sprayed it with paint. The outermost circle is painted in gold, and there is no need for a large mausoleum. Just find a deep ditch with good feng shui and bury it.

Moreover, in order to cover up the traces of excavation, they will arrange tens of millions of horses to trample on the land to make it flat and less obvious, and then kill some animals such as camels on this land, and use the souls of these animals to guard the emperor's coffin, so that there is no need for other grave keepers. The land will be full of weeds in the coming year, so you can't see that this is a mausoleum at all.

The famous Genghis Khan was buried in this way when he died. After his death in Ningxia, his body was sent to the foot of a mountain in Mobei, and then buried in a wooden coffin in a hollowed-out tree, and then he was trampled to death by thousands of horses to cover up the traces of ground breaking. Because it takes a certain period of time for grass to grow, during this period, a special person will be assigned to protect the land. Until the grass grows in the picture of the cemetery, those fences will be removed to make it look exactly like other grasslands.

After all this work is done, according to Mongolian custom, we will kill the baby camel in the sky in front of a female camel on the ground, and when the people who come to worship the camel come over next year, we can accurately find the place where the baby camel was killed before, that is, where the emperor's coffin is. I have to say that this method is really amazing, and it should be the safest tomb in ancient China. In the words of experts, even grave robbers can't be found.
