An ancient tomb under water was discovered in Jiangsu. There are 3,000 famous swords hidden in the tomb. Why are tomb robbers afraid of it?
This water tomb is the Huqiu Water Tomb in Jiangsu. The owner of the tomb is King Helu of Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, the father of the famous King Fu Chai of Wu. Fucha was the king who imprisoned Goujian, the king of Yue who was lying on firewood and tasted courage.
Everyone knows that there are so many treasures in Helu's tomb, but no one can steal them. The reason is because of its special and advanced anti-theft technology: Helu Tomb was built under the Huqiu Pond. A pool of clear water became the best anti-theft barrier. The bottom of the pond was connected to a narrow hole, leading to the tomb.
For thousands of years, the water in the pond has not dried up, and no one has ever looked for the tomb. Qin Shihuang, Xiang Yu and others launched many searches and excavations, but found nothing. Some people simply suspected that Helu's tomb was just a legend and did not exist at all. exist.
Until 1955, the Suzhou government cooperated with archaeologists to use modern tools to drain the water in the Huqiu Pond. The authentic works of Tang Bohu and other famous figures were exposed at the bottom of the pond. After cleaning the river, they were even more surprised to find the Huqiu Pond. There is a "human" shaped cave at the bottom of the pool. It is deep and narrow inside. More than 10 meters into the cave, it suddenly widens. There are stones blocking the end of the cave. Judging from the shape and placement of the stones, it does not look like natural stones. Blocks, with obvious artificial traces.
Various signs have confirmed that there may indeed be a large tomb hidden in Huqiu Pond, but due to various reasons, no excavation was carried out at that time.
The legend about Helu’s tomb begins with his son King Wu Fucha. Although Fucha was very cruel, he was a filial son. His father died on the way to fight for the territory of Wu. Fucha In order to make up for his old father, he sent 100,000 migrant workers to Huqiu, a place with mountains and rivers, to dig the mountain for three years, build a coffin with several layers of bronze in the underground palace, and bury his father.
King Wu Fu Chai is a very wise man. He knows that human beings are insignificant in front of nature. It is the most difficult to open the tomb passage by taking advantage of nature's natural advantages.
Future emperors should actually learn from King Wu’s wisdom. For example, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is much larger and more expensive than the Helu Tomb, and its artificial ingenuity is also amazing, but it is not as ingenious as the Helu Tomb.
Today, Huqiu Sword Pond has become a famous scenic and cultural attraction. Many people come here to visit every day, but Helu can sleep peacefully and undisturbed in the underground palace.
