There are numbers of gold burial objects. Amongst them are gold foils, ornaments, cup and bowl with lids totaling over 8 kilograms, but the most interesting are gold hooks that are made with such engineering features. They look as if they were made today. The gold spring coils are even more interesting, because slightly impure gold is in fact a tenacious alloy, which should be much more superior as a spring than impure copper or bronze as an alloy in those ancient days. Gold is of course rust free and entirely durable through passage of time. However, these coils seen here are probably tempered and air cured by two and half millenniums of underground tomb temperatures and have therefore become pretty soft and malleable. Anyway even 2400 years ago the technology of drawing continuous wires and use of spring was known to my ancient clan people. There are lots more such gold springs as well as springs made of other metals unearthed than shown here in this pictures. The question is why were there such huge quantities of springs buried and what were they used for? There can only be one plausible explanation. The Marquis was in fact manufacturing and selling them, and whatever the spring was used for, it must have been the first known technology of mechanical automation in human history. Note: Marquis Zeng was buried (433 BC) one and half centuries before the Greek inventor Archimedes (287 - 212 BC ) was born  ..... Click to go back to 5000 years DNA Page
