At first, nobody really cared about these fragnts that had burst forth.
After all, in this closed-off small mountain village, even a heap of sweet potatoes would attract more attention than those mud-covered pieces.
But because the disaster in this area was so severe, it quickly garnered attention from various parties.
Various rescue teams and news dia flooded into this quiet town, and while a journalist was interviewing a villager, suddenly a child ca running over holding a bunch of colorful porcelain.
"Mom, look what I found."
The child happily handed the porcelain bowl to the woman who was being interviewed.
The simple and kind-hearted woman, afraid that her child would disturb the television interview, hastily pulled the child back.
But her hand strength was great, and the child stumbled, letting go of the gray porcelain bowl, which fell to the ground and broke.
Everyone glanced at it—the bowl was dusty and covered in mud, a worthless thing broken was just that, broken.
Seeing that the child was about to cry, the journalist quickly took out a beautifully wrapped piece of chocolate from her bag, "Don’t cry, little friend, have so chocolate."
In the village, where supplies were scarce and children rarely had sweets, let alone chocolates packaged like they were gifts from a fairy tale book, the child’s attention was quickly diverted.
As for the shattered porcelain bowl, it was soon buried in the mud, its whereabouts unknown.
In an era of advanced information, when one area suffers, attention cos from all sides, and soon the interview video from this area was posted online by the dia, with many people generously donating.
With so much attention, among them were so who knew their history.
Seeing that briefly glimpsed porcelain bowl, soone felt puzzled, feeling sothing was not quite right.
["Isn’t that, didn’t anyone think that porcelain bowl had a bit of a Tianqi porcelain style?? Unfortunately, it was only a brief glimpse, didn’t see what the bottom of the bowl looked like."]
["The person before is joking, right? How could there be a Tianqi porcelain bowl in this place, even the cheapest ones are worth millions."]
["Exactly, my grandmother’s house still has many such bowls, if these bowls are valuable, wouldn’t my grandmother be a millionaire hahahahahahaha."]
The netizen hadn’t even finished laughing when news ca in that, through the dia, the official archaeological team had discovered that there might be an ancient tomb in the mountain village and had set off to investigate.
Although bizarre, in the culturally and historically rich Hua Country, such things were not particularly unusual, and it didn’t attract much additional attention.
The municipal archaeological team at first didn’t take it seriously either; frankly, they went through the motions, since sothing had burst forth, they had to check it out.
But this place was situated in the mountains, neither an economic center in ancient tis nor a strategically key location, it was impossible that anything valuable would be excavated.
But as everyone began to dig at the scene, they found the more they dug, the more things seed amiss.
Social strata were strict in ancient tis, and tombs also had corresponding standards and specifications based on status.
The team proceeded to dig a regular tomb, which was simple and would be a few dozen square ters at most.
But as they dug, they discovered that this tomb was much larger than they had anticipated.
Now everyone finally realized—the status of the tomb’s owner might far exceed everyone’s expectations, and the archaeological work beca much more ticulous and careful.
After two days of detailed surveying, the archaeologists were amazed to discover that this was an Emperor’s Tomb.
This tomb was about 900 ters long east to west, and 900 ters wide north to south, and most importantly, had four tomb paths. In ancient tis, only a prince could enjoy such a burial standard.
To verify their hypothesis, the archaeologists continued to excavate and soon discovered an accompanying chariot pit, which astonishingly contained complete sets of six horses’ bones, aning that the tomb’s owner’s chariot was pulled by six horses.
In ancient tis, "Emperor rode six horses," moreover, only Emperors were entitled to the highest funeral rite of Yellow Intestines, which further confird that this was a grand Emperor’s Tomb.
Throughout the entire history, never had it been heard of an Emperor’s mausoleum being built in this region.
This ant that the excavation of this tomb could uncover a new piece of history.
As news spread, the entire archaeological community buzzed with excitent, countless archaeological teams rushed to this once quiet town to start uncovering the tomb’s owner.
Various news diums also tracked and reported on this mysterious ancient tomb’s excavation process, and netizens curiously watched, speculating the identity of the tomb’s owner.
