The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 278: Wet inside and out

Jenny talked about Tutankhamun, but she stopped abruptly when she mentioned it. It was because this young pharaoh from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt was so famous!

In the Western world, the more famous is Tutankhamun’s curse, so it feels unlucky when the pharaoh’s name is said, so he shut up quickly. W ㈧ W? W?. ㈧ 8? 1? Z? W ㈠. ㈧C㈧OM

This young pharaoh was only eighteen years old when he died, but his short life left behind a treasure that shocked the world---his mausoleum was not hidden in a high pyramid, but was built underground, so for a long time Nothing has been discovered here.

It wasn't until November 5, 1922 that British archaeologist Howard Carter finally found the entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb: it was excavated under the cliff, under the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses VI.

There is a plaque made of clay in the mausoleum: "Whoever disturbs the peace of this pharaoh, the ‘Wings of Death’ will come on his head."

When the mausoleum was opened, Tutankhamun’s curse seemed to spread from the shadows of ancient times: for decades, those who dared to disturb his peace almost responded to the curse, suffering from various strange diseases or accidents. To die.

Of course, this so-called "curse" still has a lot of moisture. For example, there seem to be not as many dead people as there are in the legend, and some people are almost 80 when they die.

According to scientific explanations, some accidental deaths related to the Pharaoh’s tomb may be just coincidence, and some may be fungal infections!

It is said that when Tutankhamun’s mausoleum was first opened, there were also many clusters of “unexplainable things” in the tomb: they were probably deadly fungi.

3ooo many years ago, the fungus rejuvenated after being exposed to fresh air and moisture?

It's a bit unbelievable, but there are so many things that the world can't figure out, and this one is not bad: maybe this is the case!

So when Jenny saw the dirty holding pot, she kindly reminded Zhang Nan why she didn't do the most basic protection.

She was so worried.

Many places in Egypt are extremely dry. Even if you don’t make mummies, the chances of this corpse appearing are not small. In China Jiangnan, the climate is not only humid, but the soil is mostly acidic soil suitable for tea growth.

Generally, it only takes 5oo years for tombs, not to mention the wooden coffins in the tombs, even the bones and scum will not be left!

The dust returns to the dust, and all the messy things are rotten. The soil in the tomb is not much different from the outside soil, so Zhang Nan doesn't have to worry about fungus, corpse poison, or something.

But there are exceptions to everything: in his previous life, when he ran on the construction site, there were three tombs that Zhang Nan would never touch with his hands directly. Even if valuable jade artifacts such as jade bracelets were unearthed, they would pass through the hands of others, and only after washing them would he use them.

The most common ones are some old tombs in the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China: because of the short burial time and funeral habits, these tombs are shallow from the surface;

There are also some tombs from that era that were originally built on the surface. Even if the sealed soil on the top was seen to be flush with the surroundings after the pile of wind and rain, there is no tomb in this place. In fact, it has always been in dozens or one or two. Above the surface location a hundred years ago.

As a result, there will not be a lot of water seepage inside, and the time is short, there is not much siltation of mud in the tomb.

Once such a tomb is dug in the construction site, even if Zhang Nan happens to be there, he will let the excavator quickly dig it out.

The reason has been said before: one of these old graves accidentally contained the legendary corpse poison and poisonous gas!

When Grandpa Zhang Nan was in the “Vigorous Agricultural Development, Rural Plains and Tombs” campaign in the early 1950s, he was exposed to this type of corpse poison and caused a finger joint infection, inflammation, and rot. Although he was cured in the end, he was cured. One finger also dropped and became disabled.

Moreover, one of my grandfather’s legs was also attacked by the incomprehensible “poisonous gas”. I can’t say it is rotten. Anyway, the skin is always molting and chapped. "Grave" started.

Because sometimes the coffin board in that kind of tomb will not be rotten, the bones of the dead are also there, and even the padded jackets and quilts worn by the dead are not rotten!

Unlike the ancient tombs in the north where human bones were left thousands of years ago, there are a lot of organic matter in these old tombs in the south.

...

The holding pot, also known as "Zhuzi" and "Zhuhu", appeared in Sui Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the pot holder had a dish mouth, short neck, bulging abdomen, cylindrical or hexagonal short straight, crank, short body, bulging abdomen, and false ring feet.

The holding pot was popular in the middle and late Tang Dynasty and basically replaced the chicken pot and the phoenix pot. During this period, there were many kinds of holding pots, including short-flow, long-flow, crank, and straight handles.

From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, the body of the pot was gradually taller, and the whole body was pressed with 4-6 ribs, the flow gradually became slender and slightly curved, the crank was higher than the mouth of the pot, and the flat bottom became a circle foot.

The holding pot in Zhang Nan's hand is a typical five-generation style: the glaze is clear and moist, it is about 2o cm high, has a diameter of less than 1o cm, and a foot diameter of about seven or eight centimeters.

?The kettle has a short mouth, short neck, sloping shoulders, an oblong five-petal melon belly, shallow circle feet: the kettle body is placed with a curved flow on one side, and the other side is placed with a crank connected between the mouth and the shoulders, and the shoulders are placed symmetrically Vertical line.

The inside and outside of the pot and the inside of the feet are covered with green glaze, and there are six flat "kiln nails" on the bottom of the feet: the glazed surface has a pattern of fine fragments, and the glaze color is so bad than the "Secret Color Porcelain"!

After 20 years, such a first-class Yue kiln holding pot with first-class craftsmanship and quality will cost at least 150,000 to 20,000 yuan in Zhang Nan's hands.

This is not the Ming and Qing porcelains that can be sold for speculation. Yue kiln has disappeared since the Song Dynasty. Among the complete Yue kilns that appeared on the market, one piece is considered as one piece, and they are all unearthed cultural relics!

If strictly according to the cultural relics law, as long as it is a new Yue kiln ware on the market, it is illegal for him to buy or sell anything!

20,000 yuan, that is already the price of high-end products in addition to the secret color porcelain in Yue kiln porcelain: it is incomparable with the price of tens of millions of other famous kilns.

You are breaking the law to sell Yue kilns!

So the price can't go up at all.

The price of Yue kiln porcelain is generally not comparable to that of the other five traditional famous kilns: it is not that its craftsmanship is inferior to Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding, but the theory of the five famous kilns was first seen in the Ming Dynasty imperial collection catalog "Xuande" "Ding Yi Pu": "Cai, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Dingming kiln utensils stored in Neiku, elegant styles, write pictures and submit."

At that time, the Yue kiln had long disappeared, and its most classic secret color porcelain had disappeared with the demise of the Song Dynasty, and it was only preserved in underground tombs and cellars.

For many years, Huaxia people didn't even know what color the secret color porcelain was: of course the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't know, but the Yue kiln porcelain was sadly reduced to a "bargain."

In addition, the most top-class Yue kiln porcelain was unearthed in the Yuyao generation in the Kuaiji area and the Yongcheng area. This area is almost full of acidic soil, and the damage to the porcelain buried in the ground is far from other places.

Therefore, although many Yue kiln porcelains are unearthed, they are rare in good condition!

"Deshun, I also saw that this holding pot is good for what you collected. I want it. This is also dug from the construction site on that hill?"

If there is nothing to look at, then withdraw.

When you get to the outside faucet position, simply rinse the pot with cold water inside and out. Since it has been in contact with the air for a few days, it will not be a problem to wash it directly with water.

In addition, it is also very cold in the distribution room, and the temperature and tap water temperature do not seem to produce much, and the glaze will not burst due to the sudden temperature difference!

"It's over there, but I didn't go there, just a construction worker who was looking at the construction site brought it. You want to check it out?"

Zhang Nan is now dealing with the loess deposited inside the pot, just shaking his head at will and saying: "No, just ask.

By the way, I just talked about Zhang Heng of the Civil Affairs Commission. You seem to be familiar with him?"

"I had two dealings. The last time he sent the two wicked bottles over, he was the one who received them.

And you said that there are two kinds of tombs, don't touch them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I heard that you went to Shanghai a few days ago, and I ran into one in just a few days.

As soon as I found it, I called the Cultural Management Committee. Later, not only people from the cultural management committee of the county, but also people from the area came.

I also asked us to pick up the crane. I said I was busy on the construction site and I was not free.

That thing is evil, for fear of ruining the luck of our crane, let them figure out their own way, and it will take a long time to spend a lot of work. "

You have to be careful when you do engineering. Some evil things can be avoided if you can, and you can't make trouble for yourself.

Zhang Nan didn't touch the three, but only talked about two with Wang Deshun: because it was inevitable in the first kind of construction site before, and saying it was nothing.

"Later they borrowed one from the power plant and took it away after a busy day."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said, "Dry or wet?"

"Wet inside and out." (To be continued.)
