In China, there are 3 tombs known as impregnable, which are the tombs of Qin Shi Huang, Cao Cao and Vo Tac Thien.

Today, let's talk about the mausoleum of Wu Zetian, the first and only female emperor in China, historically known as Qianling. Located on Liangshan Mountain in Gan County, Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, the mausoleum has a large scale and covers a large area.

Can Lang is the only mausoleum in the mausoleum that has not been stolen. After thousands of years of rain and wind, it was still unharmed.

Legend has it that after Vien Thien Canh (a master of feng shui in the Tang Dynasty) found a feng shui treasure, he buried a bronze coin in the ground as a sign. Li Chunfeng, who was in the Early Tang Dynasty, was an astronomer, meteorologist, astrologer, as well as the most famous feng shui teacher of the Tang Dynasty, put a hairpin in the feng shui treasure that Mr. see. After that, Vo Tac Thien sent someone to check, and discovered that the hairpin was caught in the eye of the copper coin.

Vo Tac Thien was extremely surprised and chose this land as his burial place later. Hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to build the mausoleum in a few months, the speed of construction was amazing.

Later, when Vo Tac Thien became old, she ceded the throne to Ly Hien, or Duong Trung Tong, and directed Ly Hien to bury herself and Ly Tri together. This is understandable because Vo Tac Thien really loves Ly Tri among the dead men and of course wants to be with him after d.eath.

After Vo Tac Thien died, Ly Hien did exactly as she instructed, burying a lot of gold and silver treasures in the mausoleum. Can imagine the luxury and value of Can Lang.

When visiting the tomb of Vo Tac Thien, many people were surprised and confused when they saw 61 headless stone statues. What causes these stone statues to have no heads? The answer was finally confirmed after thousands of years of judgment.

People often only pay attention to the wordless stele in front of the tomb of Vo Tac Thien, but do not pay attention to the 61 headless stone statues in front of the tomb. These stone statues have different shapes, almost like real people, wearing foreign costumes. The 61 people guarding the mausoleum in front of her grave were all mandarins of other peoples, dedicated to the Dai Duong Empire, it can be seen that Vo Tac Thien recruited talented people without any stereotypes.

But surprisingly, this "creepy mystery" rumored for thousands of years was discovered by two farmers in Shaanxi. One day, while they were working in the fields, they dug a bunch of stone human heads underground. After being compared and analyzed by archaeological experts, it was realized that these heads were the heads of stone people who were c.ut o.ff, who lined up in front of Vo Tac Thien's tomb.

However, experts discovered that not only the headless human figure, but also the horse and ostrich statues have the same characteristic that the neck has a weak structure. Each part is made from many different types of stones with different hardness. Experts speculate that it may be because the stone of the Tang Dynasty had many impurities, which affected the quality of the statue.

However, when conducting research and analyzing historical documents, experts discovered that the headless stone phenomenon in the tomb could be due to natural disasters.

Today, although the stone statues in Qianling are no longer intact, they are still evidence of the carving technique and the flourishing development of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

In fact, no one dares to steal or dig Vo Tac Thien's tomb, although there are also many brave people who come here hoping to find gold, silver, and treasures here. But no one has succeeded so far.

According to recorded history, Can Lang has 17 well-documented grave excavations, of which 3 are the largest, while other minor thefts are unspeakable.

Archaeologists believe that Qianling has never been robbed because its devotion is too certain. According to the "Qianling excavation plan" of many experts in Shaanxi province, in order to excavate Qianling, a high-tech security system must be applied, allowing only 2 staff members to equip an oxygen system in extreme conditions. bacteria (or robots) into the cult, using special cameras to collect the current status, using that as the basis for deciding how to excavate. It is necessary to know the exact location of the part of the dungeon to excavate, or else it will destroy the landscape without getting anything. According to speculation, the structure of the underground palace of Can Lang will be from the cult, through the cave, through the heavenly province to the front and back passage, the two left and right are the palaces, the left is the place of Cao Tong Street, the right is the palace. Vo Tac Thien's place.

In the middle of Luong Son mountain, there is a very long ditch, which has been filled but still has its mark. In front of the cemetery is Sima Duong, also known as Shin Dao, on both sides of Sima Duong there are tall stone statues and stele, in the west there are two opposite stone steles.

One is to commemorate the great achievements of Ly Tri Duong Cao Tong, the other is a monument with nothing inscribed. This may be a stele for Vo Tac Thien, and the reason why this stele doesn't have anything is speculated differently, some people think that Vo Tac Thien's merits are limitless and cannot be expressed in words; someone said that she did all the bad things and was ashamed of herself that she didn't deserve the credit.

But perhaps Vo Tac Thien's intention is to pay the penalty for a lifetime, regardless of the latter's judgment.
