Huge treasure in the mysterious

What Chuom had found was just skulls, bones scattered in the ship compartments. There were dozens of bad people in that 'tomb ship'.

» The" farmer mutants "hunt treasure on the bottom of the Red River

Divers along the Red River from Thai Binh and Nam Dinh to Viet Tri, no one did not know Ha Cong Chuom and perhaps no one understood the Red River channel by him.

Red River is the long-standing waterway of Thang Long citadel. Trade boats between Hanoi and the East Sea, all countries must cross the Red River. For thousands of years, this ferocious Red River has 'swallowed' so many boats and barges into its huge belly.

Hunting ships, salvage shipwrecks on the Red River.

The amount of sand and silt deposited every year is very big, so the Red river bed is rising every day. Therefore, the sinking ships in the river, only a few decades later, were buried in sandy soil a few meters deep. The ships that sank centuries ago will be deep underground tens of meters or even tens of meters. In fact, the Red River is like a gutter hanging on top of residents living in the dyke. According to scientists, the Red River's bottom is now 13 meters higher than Hang Co station!

According to Ha Cong Chuom, with the ships lying underground about 5 meters, the salvage to get wood and iron has a bit of profit, but deep in the ground above 10 meters, there is no hope of interest, if The ship does not contain many precious objects or itself is made of valuable metal such as copper and aluminum.

The diver must use a few meters to dig underground into the riverbed to search for shipwrecks.

Over 10 years of diving in the river bottom, digging through the river to find boats, Ha Cong Chuom discovered that, under the alluvial layer, the sand layer at the bottom of the river has a 'muddy river' always moving below. ground. This mud river can make objects as large as a ship float underground. Therefore, if he received information of a shipwreck in this area hundreds of years ago, Chuom would always search downstream, thousands of meters away from the shipwreck.

In the story in the middle of the night, with the oil lamp in the middle of the Red River, with water waves, Mr. Chuom told me about a horrible 'swallowing ship' called Qin Wang.

Ha Cong Chuom did not reveal clearly the Qin Vuong village in any particular location, but it is located on the right bank of the Red River, the section running through Nam Dinh and Thai Binh. In this section the river curves, forming a giant vortex. The fierce swirling stream had carved the river bed up to 70 meters deep.

Which area of ​​the T'ang Qin Vuong is located in the section of the Red River that runs through Thái Bình and Nam Định?

There have been hundreds of these swirling ships 'devouring' for thousands of years. Its belly is like a giant dragon's belly, swallowing everything that passes through it, from ships, lumber, corpses . Not the big, modern ships, they dare not go through this clumsy. Therefore, the fishermen along the Red River, which flows through Thai Binh and Nam Dinh, have the following sentence: 'Hundreds of tanks must respect Qin Wang'.

The awkwardness of Qin Wang is so, but many times Mr. Chuom and his crew dive to the bottom of the sword and have almost lost their lives.

In the past year, after wearing a helmet, holding a snorkel, Mr. Chuom jumped into this cliff to see if any of the ships were in a location suitable for salvage. He discovered that dozens of ships were lying next to each other in the water. Most ships plug in half underground, half rising from the riverbed.

Sand suction to salvage shipwrecks in the river.

As I fumbled into an overturned vessel in the stomach, suddenly, the water stream pushed a log over the insurance belt and the rope. The feeling at that time was horrible, as if the lungs were about to explode, the eyes were about to slip out of the eye sockets. In that survival situation, Mr. Chuom calmly used all his energy to raise the log to make it easier for him to save his life.

Another time, Chuom himself risked his life to jump into the Qin Vuong slum, blowing thin layers of mud and sand into a belly of a huge ancient ship, hoping to find precious objects. The ship's abdominal cavity is as big as a house. But what Mr. Chuom found was just skulls, bones scattered in the ship compartments. There were dozens of bad people in that 'tomb ship'.

The story of the corpses, the skeletons in the shipwrecks of the Red River was familiar to those who hunt shipwrecks in the river, but the encounter with dozens of bone-exposed corpses in an ancient ship under Qin Then the new Chuom met for the first time and terrified him.

The vehicle for hunting shipwrecks in Chuom's river is just a mask attached to this steam wire.

The strange, confusing thing is that the ship has sunk for a hundred years (with Chuom, just looking at the ship is knowing age), but somehow the bones of those sailors are still intact. Too panic, the group of Mr. Chuom's divers must make a ceremony, then light some incense sticks to spare the tools to spare their lives, for accidentally insulting the resting place of the tools.

Mr. Chuom said: 'After the ceremony of praying and praying for the ancient ships, our diving group immediately got lucky, that is, found an ancient ship in Hung Yen. Although the ship was reclaimed by the State, it was also compensated worthy of the effort and money invested in the salvage '. Those who live on the river have such superstitious thoughts!

According to Chuom, that ancient ship was not the first thing he submitted to the state. He has submitted many precious ancient artifacts to the localities, most notably two beautiful ancient cannons, which are still on display at Thien Phien Cultural House (Phu Cu - Hung Yen). When he brought in these two guns, the government gave him a million dong.

With rudimentary diving equipment, Mr. Chuom could not salvage boats and antiques under the Qin Vong hoop.

I asked Chuom: 'If the awful water swallows swallow many old ships, then surely many antiques and valuable assets are still down there?'. Mr. Chuom said: 'I was the first person to dive into the water to find antiques and precious objects. However, the device was reckless, so it was only accessible in shallow areas, light water, could not dive to where there were many shipwrecks. I firmly believe that in the belly of the water is a huge treasure, whose value cannot be measured. '

'If there is a modern diving suit, with a professional salvage vehicle, I believe that it will be able to attract more precious ships than the old ship that can be salvaged in Hung Yen.' - Mr. Chuom dreamed like that.
