It is worth mentioning that, 45 years ago, when railway workers built Yuergou station, they discovered a series of ancient tombs of different sizes.
Priceless treasures in the “Golden Tomb”
Specifically, in 1976, during the construction of Yuergou station, railway workers dug many ancient tombs.
The Xinjiang Institute of Cultural and Archaeological Relics said that these ancient tombs belong to the period from the Spring and Autumn Warring States to the Qin and Han dynasties, the owners of the tombs are all ethnic minorities.
In the following period, ancient tombs were excavated in the area more and more, amounting to more than 80 tombs.
The “Golden Tomb” has a depth of 7.1 meters, a length of about 6.56 meters, and a width of 4.22 meters.
The most startling is the gold lion card weighing 1 ton, carved lifelike.
In addition, archaeologists also discovered a unique lacquer ‘treasure’ in the ancient tomb, a very important discovery because it helps to put an end to the controversy over whether China is capable of making lacquer wares.
Unfortunately, the results of the excavation of the “Golden Tomb” have not been made public for various special reasons.
The mystery of the beauty of the owner of the ancient tomb
The massive amount of treasures in the “Golden Tomb” makes archaeologists and the public curious about who its owner is and what special background he has.
According to the research results of archaeologists, the owner of the tomb may have lived 2,135 years ago, was a female – a beauty who was only about 30 years old when she died.
In particular, there is a hole drilled in the skull of the owner of the tomb.
