The mystery of the 200-year-old beauty's grave does not rot, giving off a strange fragrance

Many people have to question whether this strange tomb belongs to the legendary Ham Huong.

If you are a "film nerd" in the Chinese language, surely everyone remembers in the classic film Hoan Chau Cach Cach, Ham Huong, although not the main character, is extremely famous and leaves an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience. fake generations. In the film, Ham Huong is a beauty from Hui Cuong (now Xinjiang, China). Not only possesses the beauty of heavenly perfume, but also has a strange feature, that is, the body always gives off a sweet fragrance like the scent of flowers. Every time she dances, hundreds of butterflies will flutter back and wrap around the beauty's clothes. So Ham Huong is real in real life or not?

In March 2001, a group of workers working on a community project in Nangshan County, Suzhou City, Anhui Province, China, suddenly unearthed a coffin. This coffin is located in an ancient tomb more than 4m deep, so the team of workers quickly reported it to the local authorities and archaeologists to check.

When archaeologists arrived and opened this coffin, they were amazed to see that it gave off a sweet scent, not the smell of rotting corpses. The special aroma emanating from this coffin could be smelled from a radius of several hundred meters.

What is more surprising is that the woman's body in the coffin is extremely well preserved, with no signs of decay, as if it was recently buried. This woman has black hair in a bun behind her head, white skin, a full and elastic body, joints can still be stretched, even can still inject drugs into the muscles. Such an intact mummy is rarely found in Anhui province in particular and even in the entire archaeological history of China in general.

Expert Vuong Thieu Cuong of the archaeological team said: "She looks very beautiful. When opening the coffin, everyone looks like a sleeping young girl, her skin still has a certain elasticity to the touch." .

In addition, the woman's body is 164 cm long, weighs 44 kg, has a well-proportioned body, slender figure, oval face, fingernails and toenails are painted red. Experts determined the woman was dead and buried when she was about 30 years old.

Through the clothes that this woman wears, archaeologists believe that this is a tomb dating back to the Qing Dynasty, dating back more than 200 years. Along with the sweet scent emanating from the coffin, many people have questioned whether this is the grave of Ham Huong.

Through the costumes, burial methods, and precious objects in this ancient tomb, experts believe that this woman was once a beauty with tilted beauty and a noble, famous person. taste is not ordinary. However, whether this is Ham Huong's grave or not, it takes a lot of research to come to a conclusion.

There is a widely believed theory that the character Ham Huong in the film was modeled after Dung concubine, a concubine loved by Emperor Qian Long. Consort Dung came from the Hoa Trac aristocratic family, belonging to the Uighur ethnic group, originating from Xinjiang, and was married to the Qianlong king for political purposes. She possesses beautiful beauty, delicate and talented in singing and dancing, so she is loved by the Emperor. As for the details of myths that give off a natural fragrance, they are considered to be made up of folklore and poetry.

However, when carefully studying the woman's body in the ancient tomb, experts confirmed that this is not Dung Phi. There was a deep T-shaped cut on the body, possibly caused by a sword. This is the only wound on the body, showing that when the sword cut in the neck, this woman did not protest. Perhaps she had committed a heinous crime that should have resulted in her death. Meanwhile, history books record that Dung Phi died at the age of 54, and the mummy was buried when she was about 30 years old. In addition, based on Xinjiang's background as well as being the wife of the Qianlong king, it is not reasonable to bury Dung in Anhui province.

Besides, this woman's body also has a "lotus heel" foot. This further confirms that this is not Dung, because the concubines of King Qianlong who are not Han people are not "bundle of lotus heels".

The true identity of the fragrant grave remains a mystery to this day. However, scientists have explained why there is this special scent. This body was buried in the winter, before the grave of the girl was covered with a layer of musk to disinfect and embalm the body. In addition, the wooden material of the coffin is very good, the sealing is very firm. The combination of many different factors prevented the corpse from rotting and smelling like common sense.
