Found a school of dried fish in an ancient tomb, experts shouted "Heaven-sent treasure"

When experts discovered dried fish in an ancient tomb in Hubei, China, they were extremely happy because they were rare artifacts that revealed secrets about the owner.

In 2014, workers accidentally discovered many ancient tombs while digging the foundation for the construction of Jingzhou Middle School, Hubei, China. They quickly informed the school's board of directors. After that, the authorities and experts from the local Heritage Bureau came to the scene to inspect and survey. Photo: Sohu.

Through inspection, experts discovered about 400 ancient tombs from many different historical periods such as the Warring States period, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty... Photo: Sohu.

Among these, a tomb of the Zhou Dynasty during the Warring States period that is still almost intact has received great public attention. The ancient tomb was built in the shape of the letter Jia. According to researchers, tombs built in the shape of the letter Jia are usually rectangular, with only one entrance to the tomb shaped like this letter, so it was named as such. Photo: Sohu.

After entering the tomb, the experts found the space inside very dark, so they hired an electrician named Tieu Dien to install lights inside to best carry out the excavation. Photo: Sohu.

Xiao Tian eagerly got to work. While entering the tomb to install lighting, the electrician looked around and saw a black object on the tomb owner's coffin lid. Photo: Sohu.

While no one was paying attention, Tieu Dien stuffed the object into his pocket and brought it home. When he and his wife checked the thing he secretly brought back from the ancient tomb, Tieu Dien realized it was a dried fish. Feeling disappointed that he had brought something worthless home, Tieu Dien threw the dried fish aside. Photo: pinterest.

The next day, Xiao Tian visited the ancient tomb where the experts were excavating. There, he heard the experts discussing the items found in the ancient tomb. Through the conversation, he learned that the archaeologists had found more than a dozen dried fish, but none of them were intact. Photo: zhoudynasty-confucius.weebly.com.

After listening, Tieu Dien confessed that he had brought an intact dried fish home. Therefore, they quickly went to Tieu Dien's house to retrieve the most complete dried fish that had been excavated because it was an extremely valuable treasure. Photo: thehistorianshut.

According to experts, the dried fish found are about 2,400 years old. They are called yang can carp. All were salted and dried. Only the rich and powerful could be buried in the tomb after death. Photo: englishpluspodcast.

In addition to dried fish, archaeologists also found many other artifacts such as arrows, swords, armor... This led them to speculate that the tomb belonged to a general of the Zhou Dynasty. Photo: Photo: pinterest.
