Chinese archaeologists were amazed to see a mysterious "beast" alive in the tomb of Zen master Nghiem Cu Quang. The incident happened in 2009. |
Zen Master Nghiem Cu Quang lived during the Ming Dynasty. After his death, his body was buried in a tomb on Thien La Mountain, Long Xuong City, Sichuan Province. |
In 2009, the tomb of Zen Master Nghiem Cu Quang was ranked as a key cultural relic of the city. After that, archaeologists decided to excavate the tomb of this Zen Master to inspect and evaluate the current condition to come up with a plan to restore, repair and protect the relic. |
According to historical records, the tomb of Zen master Nghiem Cu Quang was once "visited" by grave robbers. Therefore, archaeologists want to excavate the ancient tomb to have an accurate assessment of the damage in the ancient tomb. |
Archaeologists say the tomb of Zen master Nghiem Cu Quang is quite modest in size, about 6m long and 3m wide. The tomb door is damaged, and the patterns on the walls have faded and eroded over the years. |
It took researchers quite a while to open the tomb. When they entered, they found nothing valuable except a stele engraved with information about the life of Zen master Nghiem Cu Quang. |
This led the archaeologists to believe that the tomb robbers had taken away the valuable burial objects. Therefore, they did not hold out hope for a surprising discovery. However, the experts still carefully examined every corner of the ancient tomb. Suddenly, they suddenly heard a noise coming from a corner of the ancient tomb. |
When the experts shined a flashlight on it, they saw four blue lights flashing and then two “ monsters ” running out. Luckily, one of the archaeological team members was able to take some photos in time. |
Thanks to that, after developing the photos, the experts meticulously examined and determined that the two " monsters" living in the tomb of Zen master Nghiem Cu Quang were raccoon dogs. The four green spots that the members of the archaeological team saw were their eyes. |
This discovery is considered extremely important because the raccoon dog was considered extinct 50 years ago. Finding two raccoon dogs in an ancient tomb shows that this animal is not extinct as people thought. |
