Archaeological work can be said to be a very meticulous work, which requires archaeologists to have great patience and carefully clean up the cultural relics buried deep underground, so that these cultural relics can be seen again, and these cultural relics are an important way for us to understand ancient human history. Because the modern protection technology of cultural relics is not particularly mature, some important ancient tomb countries have taken measures not to excavate for the time being, which once suffered losses in history. Lessons learned, but for some ancient tombs found in the construction process or after being stolen, it is necessary to carry out rescue excavation. Archaeologists have many precautions in the process of excavating ancient tombs, such as cleaning the soil layer by layer with a small brush. In the process of excavation, archaeologists are afraid of eggs except mineral water bottles or cigarette butts. Here's why:
First, finding fresh eggs means that the ancient tomb was stolen.
If fresh eggs or eggshells are found during the excavation of an ancient tomb, this is the last scene that archaeologists want to see, because it means that the ancient tomb may have been stolen, and grave robbers will not protect the ancient tomb during the excavation, which will lead to the destruction of many valuable cultural relics. The remaining excavation value of this tomb is not too great.
Second, ancient eggs are extremely difficult to preserve and clean.
If ancient preserved eggs are found in tombs, archaeologists do not want to see them, because the calcium on the surface of ancient eggs is very fragile after long-term oxidation and it is extremely difficult to clean up. However, although the research value of these eggs is not high, they are still cultural relics and cannot be left unattended.
