Chapter 206 - Chapter 206: Chapter 167 Your Ancestor Below Has a Lot of Say (5000-word Mega Chapter)_2 (2/2)

But, this was the real world.

Archaeological excavation, being protective, required more considerations.

With an increasing number of archaeologists, the speed of excavation quickened, and after a little more than two hours, the facade of an Ancient Tomb was presented before everyone.

This was a typical underground brick chamber tomb from the Western Han Dynasty, which by its appearance belonged to a noble from the ancient Lingnan region.

As Lin Chuan said,

The entrance to the tomb was indeed on the southern side.

At the entrance, a huge greyish-green rock stained with dirt blocked everyone’s way.

Besides this entrance, there were no others.

After the archaeologists had cleaned up the boulder,

Lin Chuan looked up and noticed animal patterns carved on the rock, resembling a white tiger, meant to guard the tomb chamber.

At the tiger’s mouth area, there were two small holes, which had already been cleared of dirt.

“Bring the cutter over!”

Seeing this, the excited archaeological expert Old Lu immediately shouted out.

It was finally time for him to enter his element and show his prowess!

Time to enter the tomb!

For the modern Archaeological Team, tools like cutters and drills are common.

Arriving at a tomb door that can’t be opened, they bring out tools and start to cut through.

It saves time and effort.

Once inside the tomb chamber, the subsequent work becomes much simpler.

The archaeologists immediately handed Old Lu a handheld stone cutter.

At this point,

Old Lu looked at Lin Chuan with a smile and said, “Comrade Lin, although the location of the tomb is superb, when it comes to entering the tomb, you still need to rely on the skills of us old-timers. Wait and watch how I use this stone cutter; it’s a technical job, and you might find this useful in the future too.”

Lin Chuan glanced at the handheld stone cutter, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: “Expert Lu, is that really necessary?”

“If not this, then what?”

Old Lu was originally set to show off to Lin Chuan, but upon hearing Lin Chuan’s response, he immediately furrowed his brow.

“What if we’re in the field without this cutter? Wouldn’t we then be unable to enter the tomb?” Lin Chuan retorted.

This felt akin to certain big ‘clinics.’

Standard procedure before seeing a doctor is to have blood tests, get a CT scan, and an ultrasound, otherwise there’s no treatment available.

Experts like Old Lu are similar.

Without modern equipment like cutters, they’re just left staring blankly.

Clearly, Anling City’s Archaeological Team did not possess the professionalism of a national team and lacked many of the more specialized traditional techniques in the field of archaeology.
