Bunch of strange ancient tomb images on Hanoi city wall

The grave is lined with bricks, as thin as a tile, about 1 centimeter thick.

The bricks are arranged in many ways: standing, lying, leaning.

The body inside the grave is still in its original shape, although the height is not yet determined, but it is also identified as a teenager under 18 years old. The body was lying in the correct position so it was a carefully buried tomb.

Based on grave tiles and burial objects, graves dating back to the end of the Tang Dynasty can be identified (618-907 AD).

The soil layer is clearly divided.

Many ceramic pieces were discovered in excavation holes.

Why the tomb is located close to the wall is still a mystery to archaeologists.

Excavation hole at Cau Giay node, opposite Thu Le park gate.

The inner stratum is composed of 11 different layers of embankment soil.

In the excavation hole, there are many layers of soil disturbed and formed at a later stage by many reasons such as leveling up the height of the city, dredging mud in the river bottom .

The newly discovered part of the citadel was covered with broken brick soil, dating back to the Ly-Tran period. From the cross-sectional view of the dyke body, it can be seen that the outer surface of the wall has a relatively high slope, about 45 degrees, with clear and standard soil layers.
