Seventeen tombs in the late Shang Dynasty were found in Shijiazhuang. Why was each tomb stolen?
There have been many famous tombs in Chinese history for 5, years. After nearly one year's exploration and rescue excavation by archaeologists in Hebei Province, 22 ancient tombs have been excavated in Zhoujiazhuang Cemetery in Luancheng District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, among which bronze weapons and bronze jade articles have been unearthed from stone tools as cottage tombs, which is also a very good archaeological judgment.
This tomb is the highest one of the aristocratic tombs with certain specifications in the late Shang Dynasty, but these tombs were also stolen and the damage was very serious. However, this discovery is also very useful. This discovery fills the gap in archaeological discoveries in the late Shang Dynasty in the central and southern Hebei, and also provides a very good guiding role and practical information for studying the history of the Shang Dynasty. The biggest highlight of this excavation is the bronze heavy weapon unearthed from Tomb No.3. This discovery is also very useful.
In fact, grave robbery has never stopped since ancient times. According to archaeological data, the scene of grave destruction still exists. After the social changes of the Spring and Autumn Period, the theory of post-Tibetan geomantic omen emerged, so grave robbery became more and more rampant. On the issue of grave robbery, the state has also promulgated a series of policies and taken some practical measures, including regular and irregular consultation mechanisms to strengthen the crackdown on major cultural relics crimes.
Project personnel also went to these 17 tombs in the late Shang Dynasty in order to gain huge profits. In fact, the history of grave robbery is long-standing. The tomb of Qin Shihuang was also excavated and destroyed by grave robbers. Most of the weapons in the hands of Terracotta Warriors were taken away, and there were signs of arson in the tombs. It is estimated that Xiang Yu did it. A lot of things can't stand the scrutiny of history. Since ancient times, it's very normal for people to die for money and birds to eat, and it's also very normal to rob tombs.
