The top ten treasures in the world: Tutankhamun Mausoleum Tutankhamun was a young Egyptian Pharaoh more than 3,300 years ago. He used to run a huge empire on the golden throne. His rule was short and he died suddenly at the age of 18. During the long Pharaoh's era in Egypt, Tutankhamun was unknown because of his short reign, and his sudden death also made him have no luxury pyramid mausoleum built in advance. Due to obscurity, its mausoleum has never been discovered for a long time. Archaeologist howard carter is familiar with the history of ancient Egypt, and it is his lifelong dream to discover Tutankhamun's mausoleum. Starting from 1903, he led his assistants to search every inch of land in the Valley of the Kings, from 1922 to165438+10.5, and finally found the entrance to Tutankhamun's mausoleum after/kloc-0.9. It is actually located under the tomb of another famous Pharaoh, Ramses VI, and was excavated in rocks. This is the only complete tomb of Pharaoh in 3300 years, the most luxurious tomb in Egypt, and the greatest discovery in the archaeological history of Egypt and even the world. Carter thought the tomb of the young Pharaoh would be simpler, but the excavation three years later confirmed the stupidity of this expectation to the whole world. Carter said that it was reasonable that Tutankhamun's only outstanding achievement in his life was to die and be buried. Because of the discovery of its mausoleum, it has become the most thorough shock and ridicule of ancient civilization to modern human beings. The pure gold mask, the coffin made of pure gold, the jewel throne carved in pure gold, the pure gold relief covered on the wall of the tomb, and the intact mummy ... all these make human beings marvel. What's the difference between Egyptian craft 3300 years ago and ours now? The discovery of Tutankhamun's mausoleum is the peak of the success of world archaeological work and an important turning point in archaeological history. All unearthed cultural relics exceed 10000 pieces, and each piece is priceless. It took Carter three years to transport them all out of the grave. At that time, the scene that the digger carried out the cow head tomb of the goddess Hator from the tomb mouth has become an unsurpassed classic in archaeological history. It took the Egyptian government another 65,438+00 years to transport them to Cairo, which eclipsed all the collections before the Cairo Museum. It may take a long time to study them thoroughly. The unparalleled historical value of cultural relics and the mystery it contains make Tutankhamun's mausoleum rank first among the top ten treasures in the world and second among the top ten treasures in the world: British royal jewels. About 1600 years ago, a powerful royal family rose on the earth, which is the British royal family. The British royal family is the oldest existing royal family, and the coronation ceremony of each generation of monarchs strictly follows the same tradition, which makes the coronation ceremony of the British royal family the oldest existing and still being held. At the coronation ceremony, the crown worn by the king or queen and the power struggle in their hands have become the focus of global attention. "African Star" and "Cullinan II" In order to make the battle between crown and power a unique symbol of power in the world, the royal families of all dynasties have tried their best to collect diamonds and jewels, believing that rare diamonds can best reflect the dignity of the royal family. The course of collecting diamonds for centuries has gradually formed the most famous family treasure in the world. The crowns worn by the early great kings and queens have been lost. The king and his relatives had to sell many treasures in order to wage war, rebuild the palace destroyed by fire and hold a royal wedding. In the Middle Ages, kings usually carried royal treasures with them in battle because they didn't trust their relatives who stayed in the palace. The anti-kingship movement that broke out in England from 65438 to 0648 had a great influence on the British royal family, and many precious crowns and power struggles were lost. 1660 after the restoration of the British royal family, a large-scale project to rebuild the crown and power began. Since then, many rare treasures have been preserved. With the development of the royal family, since the18th century, the British royal family has had specialized jewelers who have produced the most exquisite jewelry with extraordinary skills. With the continuous expansion of power, Britain has become the most powerful colonial empire in the world. Among them, colonial India and South Africa were famous for producing diamonds and precious stones, and these two places supplied countless first-class diamonds to the British royal family. And some small and weak countries are also willing to give their most precious jewels to Britain, mostly with the idea of breaking money and avoiding disasters. Members of the royal family are very used to exchanging jewels. A sapphire originally thought to be embedded in the ring worn by King Edward Xi when he entered the coffin is now shining on the "Crown of the Empire". This crown is also inlaid with two strings of pearls, which are said to be worn by Queen Mary of Scotland when she was beheaded in 1587. /kloc-Queen Victoria, the monarch of the 0/9th century, was particularly keen on collecting jewels. She was intoxicated with the treasures collected from all over the empire. Among her treasures is a thumb-sized Indian diamond called "Mountain of Light", which is the oldest diamond found so far. 1304 was discovered in India, and the original weight was 19 1 carat. Later, Queen Victoria felt that it was not shiny enough and needed to be reworked, only 108.93 carats. It is this diamond embedded in the queen's crown that inspired Wilkie Collins to create the classic Moon Stone. However, the "Mountain of Light" is also dwarfed by the "Star of Africa", the largest diamond in history. 1905, an original diamond mine weighing 3 106 carats was discovered in South Africa. The newly opened transatlantic cable quickly spread the news all over the world. At that time, experts in the gem industry estimated that the value of the original diamond was as high as $7.5 billion. Since South Africa was a British colony at that time, everyone agreed that it should be shipped.
