In December 2018, a thousand-year-old blood coffin appeared in an archaeological discovery in Jintan District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. During the excavation, the construction team accidentally discovered a tomb with three brick-chamber tombs (M1, M2, M3). Tombs M1 and M3 were damaged by nature and tomb raiders, but tomb M2 was well preserved. When the wooden planks above M2's tomb were removed, they found a blood-red coffin. The color of the coffin was still bright after thousands of years. The high and noble mud (green mud paste) covering the coffin isolated some of the air, which might be one of the reasons why the coffin was well preserved. Experts encountered difficulties in X-ray scanning the coffin. At first, they did not detect anything in the coffin, but later found that water seeped out of the coffin (poor sealing), affecting the detection. In the end, it was confirmed that there were funerary objects in the coffin, including gold and silver products, tea cups that emitted a lustrous luster, and a few combs that were more dignified than those that had been unearthed in the past. Through analysis, it was speculated that the red coffin was a woman between the ages of 51 and 60. However, because the epitaph could not be found, it was impossible to completely restore the situation of the tomb owner. As for the coffin's thousand-year-old decay, it benefited from the high-standard tomb chamber, the green mud paste to isolate the air, the complete structure of the coffin itself, and the high-quality materials used. The novel "The Corpse Fighter" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The Millennium Blood Coffin referred to the blood-red ancient coffins excavated in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, and Lishui, Zhejiang Province. These blood coffins had been buried for thousands of years, but they still maintained a bright color, which shocked the archaeologists. As for the origin and contents of these thousand-year-old blood coffins, there was no definite answer yet. Experts used technology to perform X-ray scans, but they were still unable to open the coffin because it was filled with water, preventing the flaw detector from seeing the inside of the coffin. As for the eyeball-like object that appeared in the X-ray scan, it might be some kind of funerary object in the coffin. The existence of these thousand-year-old blood coffins was very curious, but there was no detailed explanation yet.
The thousand-year-old hanging coffin was an ancient funeral custom. The coffin was placed high in a cave, crack, or supported by wooden stakes on the cliff. This kind of funeral custom was widely spread in the Yangtze River basin and its southern areas, and was also found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. There were many ways to place the hanging coffins, including drilling holes in the cliff and nailing wooden stakes to place the coffin on it, or placing one end of the coffin in the cliff cave and the other end on the wooden stakes nailed to the cliff. The specific formation method and reason of the Millennium Hanging Coffin were still unclear. Further scientific research was needed to solve this mystery.
Different regions had different reasons why thousand-year-old corpses did not rot. Take Mrs. Xin Zhui from the Han Tomb at Mawangdui, Changsha, China as an example. Her coffin was of a higher standard, using four coffins and two outer coffins. The special treatment of the coffin might be one of the reasons why her body did not rot. The reason why the bodies of Xu Fan and his wife, who were found in Baojiaba, eastern Taizhou, China, did not decay was because of their unique burial form, the mortar tomb. The structure of this tomb was one outer coffin and two coffins. The two coffins were made of cypress wood, and the outer coffin and the coffin were filled with a washing paste made of copper oil, lime, and glutinous rice, and were tamped layer by layer. The tomb was well sealed. In addition, the ancient corpse was wrapped in silk satin clothes and covered with winter grass. The tomb was kept at a constant temperature and humidity, so the corpse was immortal after more than 500 years. The reason why the body of Taoist Lin, who was found in Lindomus Marsh on the outskirts of Cheshire, England, did not decay was mainly due to the special environment of the swamp. This swamp was a "deep pit" formed after the ice melted during the Ice Age. Its main component was strongly acidic sphaganate. When the sphagnid moss was "alive", it would acidify the soil, releasing a compound that combined with nitrogen to deprive the soil of nutrients, making the area lifeless. At the same time, the climate in Northern Europe was cold. Even if microorganisms appeared, they would quickly freeze to death or freeze. The dead moss kept accumulating to seal the swamp and cut off the oxygen from the outside world, allowing the body to be preserved for nearly 2000 years.
