Detecting the body containing a large amount of mercury of Princess Liao Quoc: Who did the cruel act?

Mercury is an extremely toxic substance, but in the tomb of this princess Liao Quoc discovered 1.5 liters of this substance. After all, what was the cause behind the princess's death?

On March 10, 2003, an archeology team discovered a huge scarlet coffin in the Turki Mountains, Inner Mongolia. Right after that, experts opened the coffin and performed an examination of the identity, as well as the cause of death of the owner of this tomb using electromagnetic waves.

After the results of the electromagnetic wave were announced, everyone present at the scene was amazed and stunned. Parts of the body of the owner of the tomb such as the head, brain, abdomen or hands are clearly shown in black areas and dense black dots. Especially in 3 areas such as abdomen, hands and bones, a large amount of mercury was detected.

The amount of mercury in the coffin that the archaeological team collected was up to 1.5 liters. However, the real cause of death of the owner of this tomb is still unknown. But, according to the archaeological team's speculation, it is highly likely that this person directly swallowed a large amount of mercury, leading to poisoning death.

Who is the owner of the tomb and what is his identity?

Archaeologists are conducting an examination of the strange coffin.

Based on the lavish design in the tomb containing the tomb and countless rich and diverse burial objects next to it, it can be seen that its owner is a person of high status in ancient society.

Continuing to explore, the archaeological team discovered a stele. Based on this, the archaeological team determined that the owner of the tomb could be the daughter of the founder of Lieu Quoc Quoc Luat A Bao Co - Princess Chi Co.

After determining the identity of the owner of the tomb as the princess of Liao Quoc, the archaeological team searched for historical documents related to Liao Quoc and this princess to answer the cause of her death.

Princess Liao Quoc is considered to have died from mercury poisoning.

The cause of death of Princess Chi Co was initially determined to be related to the time when her father - Gia Luat A Bao Co had the idea of ​​establishing the Liao Kingdom and claiming to be emperor.

However, Gia Luat A Bao Co's decision was opposed by many people, in which his wife, brother-in-law and daughter Chi Co were the most vehemently opposed. To protest against Gia Luat A Bao Co claiming to be emperor, a mutiny took place. However, very soon, the king of Liao Quoc immediately sent troops to suppress the coup group. Over the next three years, the coup army was completely quelled.

As a member of the coup army against her own father, Princess Chi Co of course could not escape the crime. She was imprisoned by her father in the dungeon (underground prison), forever unforgivable.

The world in the second half of her life was encapsulated within the four walls of a prison. And, the amount of mercury that the archeology team found is most likely the amount of poison that Princess Chi Co took to commit suicide.
