Tomb scares thieves, unable to 'steal' huge treasure?

After her death in 705, Wu Zetian was buried with her husband, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, in Qianling. This tomb has been "visited" by grave robbers at least 20 times, but is still intact. Why is that?

Wu Zetian

(624 - 705) is known as the first and only emperor in the history of feudal China. Initially, she entered the palace as a concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. Later, Wu Zetian became the favorite concubine of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi - son of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Thanks to Emperor Gaozong's favor,

Wu Zetian became

Empress. After Emperor Li Zhi died, Empress Wu gradually seized power and eventually established the Wu Zhou Dynasty, ascending the throne as emperor in 690. She reigned for 15 years and interrupted the Tang Dynasty.

Before his death in 705,

Wu Zetian returned

The country was given to the descendants of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, this powerful woman had a will to be buried with her second husband, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, in Qianling.

Accordingly, after her death, Wu Zetian was buried in Qianling with a large amount of valuable burial objects. According to some sources, when Emperor Gaozong of Tang passed away, the number of burial objects accounted for 1/3 of the Tang Dynasty's national treasury. When the female emperor Wu Zetian passed away, the burial treasure was worth 1/3 of the national treasury.

Therefore, Qianling Mausoleum contains a huge treasure trove of burial treasures, making it a target for many tomb robbers. Researchers say Qianling Mausoleum has been dug up, broken into, and even mined at least 17 times in an attempt to steal the gold, silver, and jewels inside.

However, the tomb robbers all returned empty-handed, unable to break into Qianling.

The reason why Qianling is impregnable has been deciphered by experts after examining the structure of this mausoleum. According to them, the walls of Qianling are all built with large, solid and difficult to break limestone bricks.

Furthermore, Tang Dynasty craftsmen used tin to join and fill the gaps between the stone blocks. The use of tin to bond the stones together made the walls of Qianling stronger and more difficult to break through.

Next, Qianling is located in the middle of the mountainside. The entire Liangshan Mountain is like a natural armor protecting the tomb. Thanks to these reasons, this tomb has remained intact over the years.
