In the dark underground tomb, it is usually opaque, and there may even be unpredictable dangers in the emperor's tomb. However, in order to obtain gold and silver jewelry buried in ancient tombs for thousands of years, grave robbers often take risks.
Sometimes, just as they entered the tomb, a light suddenly lit up on the vault of the tomb, which was originally dark, giving off a faint light. This can't help but make people feel frightened.
This is not a unique plot in grave robbery novels.
In 527 AD, soldiers from East Rome lit a lamp in a niche at a gate in Syria. The lamp is covered with a delicate cover, which seems to be used to keep out the wind. According to the inscription found at that time, this lamp was lit in 27 AD. What does this mean? When it was discovered, the lamp had been burning for 500 years!
In A.D. 1400, when entering the tomb of the ancient Roman prince Pilars, a lamp was still on. It is estimated that this lamp has been burning for more than 2000 years! Even more amazing, this lamp is safe when it meets wind and water. The only way to put it out is to pump the liquid out of the lamp bowl, which is quite strange.
In A.D. 1540, Pope Paul III found a burning lamp in the tomb beside the ancient Roman road. It is said that the owner of the tomb was the daughter of Cicero, an ancient Roman politician, who died in 44 BC. Then, this lamp burned in this closed arched tomb 1584!
Through the discoveries of archaeological teams and people in various countries, the existence of the ever-burning lamp is not illusory.
Take China for example, Historical Records? "Qin Shihuang Ji" records:
At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, he passed through Mount Li and merged with the world. The world sent more than 700,000 people through three springs, went down to Tongquetai and Tonggong, and things changed in Gong Zhongqi. Take mermaid cream as a candle, and it will last for a long time.
With what? Mermaid cream? As a candle, it can last a long time. If so, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is also brightly lit all year round.
Here, I wonder if you have thought of an old legend: Jiao Ren is a creature in the deep sea. If slaughtered and refined into oil, it can burn in 5863!
But the legend is a legend after all, and the existence of Jiao Ren is still a question, so this statement is untenable.
As we all know, according to the law of conservation of energy, just as perpetual motion machines cannot be invented, there is no such thing as ever-burning lamps. However, in an ancient tomb without enough fuel storage, it is incredible that a lamp can last for thousands of years. Where does the energy it needs to burn come from
Besides, the tomb space is closed, and the oxygen will always run out. How to burn in oxygen-free environment?
Some people say that those records were written blindly by the ancients. After all, we have never seen such a magical ever-burning lamp really appear in front of everyone. Most of those legendary ever-burning lamps have been destroyed, and the secret recipe for making lamps has also been lost.
However, many countries in the world have such records. Did the ancients agree to write together to fool future generations?
This is unlikely.
In order to solve the mystery of A Ring of Endless Light in the ancient tomb, American Simon? After 3 1 year research and more than 700 experiments, Effik gave an explanation.
After research, he found that the substance of the ever-burning lamp in the tomb was a mixture of yellow phosphorus and other combustible substances. The fuel he made from this mixture does not volatilize in the air and burns slowly. But this ever-burning lamp can only burn for about 50 hours under normal circumstances, but what about Simon? Effik still calls this lamp the ever-burning lamp.
The reason is that after the ancients were buried, they would light the ever-burning lamps. When the tomb is closed, the ever-burning lamp will consume the air inside, forming a? Vacuum? Environment, which is also conducive to the preservation of cultural relics in the cemetery. When the air is exhausted, the ever-burning lamp has been extinguished.
In a closed environment, part of the lamp oil volatilizes into combustible gas, and the human body produces combustible gas such as phosphorus under the action of microorganisms in the grave, and the combustible gas will not burn without oxygen.
Thousands of years later, grave robbers opened the grave and oxygen entered the grave again. The ever-burning lamp in the tomb will spontaneously ignite under the action of oxygen when it comes into contact with combustible gas.
So the ever-burning lamp in the tomb has not been extinguished for thousands of years. It went out at the moment when the oxygen in the tomb was exhausted, but it was ignited at the moment when the tomb was opened.
