The three most mysterious historical artifacts in China constantly challenge scientists' intellect

Tan Thuy Hoang, Vo Tac Thien, Viet Vuong Cau Tien are three characters associated with the mystery from historical artifacts that science still has not explained.

1. Viet Vuong Cau Tien

The copper sword didn't rust after 2000 years?

This is a historical artifact identified by archaeologists dating from the Spring and Autumn period - Warring States. That is, its age falls back to more than 2000 years, before China was united by Qin Shihuang. The length of the blade is about 55cm, the hilt is 8.4cm long and 4.6cm width.

The sword is also believed to have been used by a famous historical figure: Goujian.

The Sword Gouache still sharpened to this day.(Illustration: Internet).

King Goujian was famous for being the king of Vietnam (today Shanghai, northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu) but was later defeated by King Wu, Phai Sai and exiled in Wu.

Not resigned to that fate, Gou Jian tasted the thorny honey, using successive succession to gain the trust of King Wu such as suffering suffering from beauty and beauty (offering to King Ngo and Tay Thi). Finally, Gou Jian gathered forces, defeated King Wu, restored Vietnam during the Spring and Autumn period in China, and completely defeated Wu.

Viet Vuong Cau Tien's sword (also called Sword Cau Tien) when it was found by archaeologists was surrounded by dirt but miraculously, its surface was almost not rusted. Really hard to believe for any scientist. The blade also seemed to be covered with metal, making it still somewhat shiny.

An archeologist was even injured because he accidentally touched the blade lightly, showing that its sharpness is still good. So far there is no satisfactory solution for this "immortal sword".

2. Qin Shihuang

Where are the 12 bronze statues of this emperor?

Not only before, but even after the unification of China, Qin Shi Huang also faced many enemies, the plot to assassinate the emperor was always standing. Fearing that, Qin Shi Huang thought that people were not allowed to own large copper weapons or items because copper was the main material for making weapons.

Bronze statues in Chinese history are numerous but the disappearance of 12 statues under Qin Shihuang was the biggest question mark.(Photo: Sohu.com).

So he ordered the confiscation of copper tools then smelted and then turned into 12 large bronze statues, each weighing nearly 30 tons.

With such "gigantic" historical artifacts of such size, again made of copper, they should exist today even though they may be deformed, but the strange thing is that they completely disappeared. died soon after the fall of the Qin.

Historical documents also point out that there were incidents of Qin Shihuang's orders that led to their appearance (12 large bronze statues) but no archaeological documents or vestiges mentioning existence. of these statues.

3. Vo Tac Thien

Stone stele near Vo Tac Thien's tomb does not have a word?

Since ancient times, all stone steles erected in front of the tomb of any character have the purpose of recording the credit, achievements or biography of the character throughout his life for the next generation to look at. admire.

However, a famous figure in the highest ranks in history such as Female Emperor Vo Tac Thien erected a stele completely without any words in front of her grave. This stele is a large, well proportioned, stele.

Many questions are raised as to why the ancients built such a careful construction without writing any words about its owner when he was the king of an empire. A powerful and arrogant person like Vo Tac Thien didn't register in front of his tomb?

So far, that question is still unknown. Many people believe that because Vo Tac Thien considers himself an emperor to have everything, thousands of generations afterward will automatically remember the names and merits, no need to record them.

There are also people who think that she married the Ly Dynasty of the Ly Dynasty, but only considered herself as a daughter-in-law who temporarily looked after the throne, stabilized the society for Ly, so she did not want to register as a king even though she was king.

In fact, after Vo Tac Thien passed away, Giang Son was also returned to a Ly family to continue the cause of reviving Dai Duong but she did not decide to change her name to a new dynasty.
