One of the most mysterious death events in history could be illuminated 1300 years after the event. Scientists who managed to illuminate the incident in Ningxia Huy Autonomous Region, located within the borders of China, state that this is the oldest known unsolved murder. If you wish, let’s look at the details of this interesting event together.
In 2002, construction workers who wanted to build a pipeline in Ningxia Huy Autonomous Region stumbled upon a burial site. Experts working in the burial area, which has a very interesting structure, found a total of 11 corpses in 2009. One of these corpses was detached from the others. Because the remains of this corpse were 14 meters above the burial area. In addition, the corpse, which attracted the attention of the scientific world, was 700 years younger than the others. The scientific world thought that this person was a grave thief and that he had come to the region to steal things from the burial area where 10 people were lying, and died as a result of an incident. However, studies have shown that this is not the case.
Here is the general structure of the burial area discovered in 2002
Scientists could not grasp the logic of this interesting death. Because the so-called thief was nowhere near the items buried in the tomb. In other words, there was something strange about the incident that took place 1300 years ago. Therefore, the experts who decided to continue the studies conducted a detailed bone examination. The investigations revealed a striking fact about the incident. The head area of the corpse in question had traces of injury caused by a material such as a knife.
The fact that the cuts in the face area were not lethal, caused the color of the work to change.
In the analysis, it was concluded that the cuts in the head area of the corpse would not lead to death. So this man must have injured a vital organ such as his heart or lungs. This time, the experts, who examined the ribs, found scars on some of the ribs. This is what solved the mystery. It was understood that the man who was found 14 meters above a burial site 1300 years ago was not dead, but was killed.
Archaeologists explained that this is not the first time, that the method of storing corpses in a burial site has been applied since ancient times. In other words, this man was brought to the grave site after he was killed by someone or someone, and after he was left in the area, it was covered to hide. However, why the man was killed, unfortunately, could not be clarified. . .
