Antediluvian "tombs" of China

I will not dispute this or that, but just want to express and show here that the reason for the "youth" of the culture of this country was a cataclysm, which rolled back the achievements of the people of this territory (as well as almost the entire planet) to the level of nomads engaged in gathering.

The photo above shows the excavated tomb of the Qin kingdom in Shaanxi province. Pay attention to how deep the burial is.

A drawing of the internal structure of the Qin tomb of the 4th century. BC. Why was it necessary to make a burial at such a depth? After all, this is the amount of earthwork comparable to the construction of a new building. And pay attention to the color of the ground. This is not a cultural layer. In China, it is some kind of loose red clay.

Officially: These are the tombs of the Chu State of the Warring States Period (5th century BC) from Zaoyang County.

A wooden burial chamber, or rather chambers, in the tomb of the Chu State in Jiaoyang. For 2, 5 thousand years, the tree has not rotted or even petrified! It can not be.

Clay layers over a Western Han Dynasty tomb recently discovered in Shandong province.

The interior of the tomb is all made of wood, even the walls of the corridor shown in the photo are made of wooden blocks, although it may seem that they are brick.

It's amazing that over 2000 years, all the structures have been so well preserved. Maybe they are not 2 thousand years old? And just a couple hundred? Because the tree would either rot (it's not larch) or petrified.

Thick load-bearing walls here are also lined with cedar blocks; bricks are not used at all. There were no problems with the forest in China then

Here are old photos of Chinese tombs and animal statues from the Tang era:

The statue is in the ground. And again I want to note - these are not cultural layers. And yet, in the photo - there is not a single tree or bush.

They dug it up, pulled it out, put it on a pedestal and planted trees. You can't even say that something terrible could have happened earlier …

Moving on to the Yangling burial complex, Han era

The unearthed horsemen of Emperor Jing-di. Photo from Yangling Museum. Pay attention to the dense clay that is firmly "soldered" into the structure of the statues. It is very difficult to remove it; Chinese archaeologists even left the statues half-cleaned. Probably rsk to damage the statues themselves. Cultural layers? Yes of course…

The statues cleaned and transferred to the museum

Didn't the Chinese have enough patience for these? Or were they portrayed like this, highlighting the Chinese "antiquity"?

This is how they are found.

The clay-silt solution of the flood (or something there) cemented everything so firmly that it is almost impossible to clean it up and separate it from the statues.

the official version of historians: the emperors were seen off on their last journey not only with statues of people, but also animals

Note the clay layers above the excavation site. Photo from Yangling Museum.

Who will do it tens of meters deep? According to the official history, they did

Yangling Mausoleum

The only more or less excavated tomb of the Western Han state near modern Xi'an in China.

Entrance to the mausoleum-museum near one of the Chinese pyramids

A large and modern museum has been created in the mausoleum, where you can view the main excavations in the tomb of Jing Di through glass. Here you can see a part of the clay imperial army, directly at the place of its discovery.

Notice how the statues are tumbled down. It is clearly visible that they were standing, but something was moving in the center, as the wave pushed them along the sides.

The Jindi warriors, unlike the terracotta army (about them below) of the First Emperor, are not only small in size, but also have many other differences. Their arms were made of wood and could rotate, as they were attached with special rods to the body, but unfortunately, in most cases they were not preserved.

For these dolls, special clothes and armor were created from real materials - silk, leather, which were poorly preserved, so most of the figures now have "Adam's costume".

Many were never dug out

The horse statues are knocked down too

How could all these statues be buried so well? And another question: why was it done so carelessly when burying? Many statues were overturned, some were broken. What kind of disregard for ritual? Maybe - this was not a burial? Was there a workshop for making statues and vessels?

This is also suggested by the following fact: the emperor's burial chamber itself, if found, which is not a fact, is also inaccessible. Most likely, they did not touch her, as always, so as not to disturb the peace of the great ancestor. Those. the burial of the emperor has never been found. And what is from the official story for visitors is like fairy tales: no one has seen, but everyone believes that this is exactly the case.

Excavations near the pyramid were nevertheless done - a thick layer of soil was removed

General view of the emperor's mausoleum. Let it be called so for now

This is a model of a tomb with underground chambers. Or maybe it was once not a dungeon, but were buildings near the pyramid. The pyramid is an energy center. And these are all workshops.

Can you imagine the amount of work? If this area is not a structure heaped up with soil / clay, but a dungeon, then it was necessary to first dig a pit, build internal passages, ceilings and bury again. And build a pyramid out of excess clay. Even with modern technology, it is possible not to meet the five-year plan …

It is not hard to guess that the same "anthill", with different passages, is located near each pyramid near the city of Xi'an and is waiting in the wings to be born.

Let's move on to the gallery with terracotta warriors

Officially, this is the tomb of the First Emperor of China.

The Clay Warriors, discovered in 1974, are grabbing the spotlight.

The Terracotta Army dates back to the 2nd-3rd century BC. and is logically attributed to the burial complex of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, although it is located at some distance from it.

At the moment, more than 8000 clay warriors have been excavated and their number is constantly increasing. Warriors are 180-190 cm tall (huge growth for a modern Chinese), the weight of one soldier is about 136 kg.

Each statue has a face - individually

All the army was supplied with real weapons - crossbows, pikes and swords

And this is how they find them. Agree - a strange form of burial. It was not people who fell asleep carelessly, or was it all sunk, but a cataclysm. Hence such destruction of statues.

They are assembled as a constructor

All the figures were very brightly painted, but the colors died from contact with oxygen when the warriors began to be removed to the surface.

There are many versions that answer the question of why all these figures were needed. Officially, during the earlier Chinese dynasties, Shang, Zhou, it was customary to bury living people, but here they seem to have decided, out of the kindness of soul, to replace them with clay copies.
