13-year-old girl has been frozen by snow-capped mountains for 500 years. Find out why, why are netizens so crazy?
Many people died of illness or starved to death in ancient times. On the contrary, some dignitaries are rich and powerful. They ate spicy food when they were alive, and they also took a lot of funerary objects when they died. So at that time, there was such a profession-grave robbery.
Research value of ancient tombs
Ancient people were much more superstitious than now, and now all aspects of our lives can be explained by scientific methods. However, the ancients believed that as long as the body was well preserved, there was a chance of rebirth, just like having a pearl in your mouth and wearing special clothes. In a word, those nobles lived a rich life when they were alive, and they should take these things away when they died.
For example, the eighth wonder of the world-Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Until now, we haven't fully excavated the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. In order to eat enough, the poor naturally have to take out the things in the tomb and have a meal.
With the passage of time, people can be self-sufficient in basic life, and the industry of grave robbery has basically disappeared. But people are still curious about what is in the ancient tomb. After all, everything has archaeological value. Now people use more advanced and reasonable methods to open ancient tombs and study those cultural, historical and valuable cultural relics. Slowly, archaeology gradually flourished.
Our country has a long culture, which lasted for five thousand years. There are also many excavated ancient tombs in China. Archaeologists infer that the tomb belongs to that era according to the structure of the tomb, the clothes of the owner and some funerary objects, so as to improve our understanding of history. In the excavated ancient tombs, there are few well-preserved bodies, so those complete bodies have high research value.
1995, a German scientific research team made an amazing discovery at the foot of a snowy mountain in the Andes. With the unremitting efforts of the scientific research team, the ice layer was finally cut open, and there was actually a girl's body of 13 years old. This caused quite a stir in the field of scientific research at that time.
Sleeping girl
According to many experts, she has been frozen for about 500 years. But magically, her skin and hair are all intact, just like falling asleep. Scientists named her Juanita. Scientists have consulted a lot of literature. In about16th century, the Inca Empire managed a large area of land, and compared with Colombia today, it was under the control of the Inca Empire from southern Chile to central Chile.
The Incas have superstitious ideas. They regard Machu Picchu as their spiritual center and the mountains around Machu Picchu as their gods. They hold sacrifices every year. They believe that only by offering the best and purest things to the gods can we ensure the good weather in our country. Apart from some things commonly used in sacrifice, the most important thing is a pure girl. Juanita was one of the girls who died at that time.
Juanita was chosen as a sacrifice at the age of 13, and the Incas exchanged the lives of young girls for what they called "national peace and security". Seeing this news, some netizens commented: It's crazy. In ancient times, people could not make rational judgments about those natural disasters and diseases. Usually, they think this is because they are disrespectful to God and have been punished by God. It is because of their ignorance that so many innocent lives have been sacrificed in vain.
The whole truth about the body
To the experts' surprise, when Juanita died, her body showed no signs of pain or struggle. Experts are puzzled by this. Whether you freeze to death or beat to death alive, you can always find traces on the dead, but you can't find them on Juanita.
On the contrary, I found many sculptures and food around Juanita. This made experts think that it might be poisoning, so Juanita was tested for toxicity. But no toxin was found in Juanita's body. Instead, she found a lot of ethanol in her body. This makes experts very confused and really unbelievable. Is she drinking hero wine? And kill her?
After strict reasoning by experts and literature review, it is concluded that since Juanita was a living sacrifice, he could not be killed. It was possible that he was put to sleep by the paralyzing effect of alcohol, so that the living sacrifice could be carried out smoothly.
In ancient times, people were either displaced by war or starved to death by natural disasters. At that time, it was happiness for ordinary people to survive. The downfall of successive dynasties was always due to the incompetence of the rulers at that time, or the exorbitant taxes and levies, which led to people's hardship and aroused people's anger, and people would rise up and rebel.
Compared with now, people's life is simply living in a dream. People don't have to worry about eating every day, let alone pay exorbitant taxes. Not only does no country give people some subsidies every year to ensure their basic quality of life. People nowadays are not pursuing material things, but more spiritual ones. Compared with the pursuit of ancient spiritual culture, it can only exist in the hands of emperors and dignitaries. In the world of the poor, even the most basic things can't satisfy the spiritual enjoyment.
Sacrifice also existed in ancient China. However, there are few sacrifices made by the living. Sacrificing the living is tantamount to slaughter, and the position of the ruling class that slaughtered the people must be shaken. In order to consolidate the thoughts of people all over the world, Qin Shihuang once burned books to bury Confucianism. So it has been reviled by future generations for thousands of years.
However, the more brutal those small countries are, the more they regard people as slaves, regardless of the safety of their own people for their long-term stable rule. Fight for the land. Make the already poor people even more miserable.
Every child is the most precious to parents. How sad they were when they saw their children being sacrificed to them. Behind kindness, someone will always break this balance. People can't stop these tragedies, but watch one child after another die tragically under tyranny.
May those innocent and tragic deaths not be killed in heaven, and may people's lives be peaceful and stable forever.
