“疑似秦始皇儿子头骨面容复原图”冲上热搜!约30岁,橄榄形眼睛、高挺鼻梁,与秦始皇特征有相似之处
A research team at Northwest University in China has used craniofacial reconstruction to recreate the face of a young man buried in a satellite tomb in Shangjiao village east of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Experts speculate that he was most likely a son of Qin Shi Huang and died during the purge launched by Hu Hai, Qin Shi Huang's son who became the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).
He was around 30 years old. A bronze arrowhead was lodged in his right temporal bone, and his head and limbs were severed before being placed in the coffin.
The facial image shows olive-shaped eyes and a high nose bridge, with contours bearing similarities to the "high nose bridge and long eyes" recorded for Qin Shi Huang in Records of the Historian.
The grave also yielded a large cache of high-status burial goods, including gold, silver, and bronze swords, further reinforcing the occupant's imperial identity.
