At the same time, the experts surveyed the land near the old farmer’s new home, and sure enough, they found an ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty in the distance, and this ancient tomb had not been stolen by tomb robbers. There were a lot of gold and silver jewelry in it. It is speculated that the coffin owner should have been a famous family before his death. As for the red spray paint on the coffin, it is because the coffin owner was over 80 years old when he died and died of natural causes, so it is called “happy mourning”.

According to experts from the archaeological department, the coffin is worth about 500 million yuan, equivalent to 2.16 billion Taiwan dollars. Experts remind the public that in ancient times, people of different identities used different colors for burials, such as teenagers and unmarried women. White coffins are used, and gold is used by famous nobles. Therefore, this lipstick coffin is not a bad omen as the old farmer said.
