Chapter 591: God Knows Who
Bombing is the safest, this is a mine, and blasting is commonplace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And to be honest, Zhang Nan would never move a statue of an African primitive religion to his home, and his brain didn't pump!
Xiang Zhangsheng began to take photos, and also took a set of backups, so as not to catch blind after one of the films went wrong.
That's it, start clearing the ground of the rubble and bones.
For at least a thousand years, many of the bones were somewhat weathered, although the caves were sealed.
Fabrics, animal skins, and other slag have not been left, and the dust has long been returned to dust, and the soil has returned to the earth.
I didn't want to let these bones sink into the ground, this is Africa, not so much exquisite. Besides, the outside is a mine, even if it is buried, it may be dug up after a while, so it is better to stay here.
And then......
The thing that chops off people's heads has been found.
"You're kidding me!"
It's actually a stone axe.
It's very sharp, it seems to be made of black stone, just a large stone piece.
There is no hole, it should have been tied with a rope at the beginning, and the edge of the blade was slightly broken.
Looking for metal tools, this is the result.
Just count on whether there are metal objects on those skeletons, otherwise this civilization will still be a primitive thing no matter how developed it is.
There are no iron knives left, and there are no copper knives!
Don't give up, keep looking.
After a circle, I finally found a skeletal finger bone with a gold ring and a large red gemstone set on it.
The first to discover the gem was Li Panfeng, who broke the ring directly from the skeleton and let Mr. Brown see it.
"It's diamonds, the roughest polish. It was not easy to have this technology 1,000 years ago, and it seems that people at that time had already mastered the art of polishing diamonds with emery, but it would be very time-consuming. ā
Listening to Brown's words, Zhang Nan took the ring on the side, looked at it and said: "The most important thing a ruler lacks is time, you don't have to come by yourself, there are craftsmen to do this."
In the Chinese society thousands of years ago, there were cases of carving jade with ropes, and some ancient handicrafts may even take a craftsman several years, or even more than ten years. ā
Xiang Zhangsheng's thinking was at another latitude, and he said on the side: "These people treat diamonds as treasures, so there should be giant diamonds in this mining area!"
Everyone agrees, and that's great news!
Even if the ancients spent hundreds or even hundreds of years collecting these diamonds in the cave, according to modern productivity, this mining area would bring enough surprises to Zhang Nan in a short period of time.
As for gold, it has a relatively low melting point and a beautiful color, and it was used by humans relatively early: societies that can smelt copper can use gold.
Unfortunately, in the end, the place was turned upside down, and no other valuable clues were found: clues to trace the remains and ruins.
"Civilization without writing is a kind of sorrow, and there was a civilization in southern Africa that began to emerge in the fourth and fifth centuries A.D., in Great Zimbabwe, a hundred or two hundred kilometers to the south.
Those stone towns there were not built by the original stone people, and the level of civilization was not low.
But until now, no one knows who built those buildings in the first place. Some speculate that it was black, others said that it was Arabs, and even that it was King Solomon's ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Nan's eyes suddenly aimed at the bones that were being cleaned up, and said to several bodyguards: "Leave some samples for each skeleton, don't confuse those who cut off people's heads with those who were cut off, and bring them back for a chance for people to see."
By the way, bring your head with you and you can restore your appearance. ā
Now what DNA and genetics research is not very developed, in another twenty years or so this technology will be broken.
Research and come up with a paper?
Zhang Nan is not so empty, it is just possible to explain a question in his heart.
As for whether others know: Mind my birds!
It's fun to watch people guess while you know the real answer.
Zhang Nan is not an "expert" in playing with words, he likes to fight with words about everything, and some people are even more eager for the world to accept their views if they have evidence in their hands.
Zhang Nan is a tomb robber and antique collector, and many people who play antiques have a habit since ancient times: secret play!
It's like a brocade night walk, let's just steal the fun ourselves, why tell others?
Zhang Nan sometimes likes to show off, and sometimes he likes to hide and tuck, this is playing antiques, and contradictory behaviors will appear in one person at the same time.
ā¦ā¦
No writing was found, not even a mark on the ring.
Without writing, once the civilization disappears, it means that the civilization is completely finished.
The people who created the civilization may have died, or they may have moved, or the black buddies in those tribes outside may be the descendants of this civilization thousands of years ago.
But without writing, when civilization declines and disappears due to some man-made or natural reasons, even their descendants will not know what happened to their ancestors.
By word of mouth, it doesn't take a few generations for everything to be forgotten: the cave is not more than 100 years old, except for the traces left by modern people.
As for the history of Umtari City, which is more than 10 kilometers away, it is located more than 100 years ago, and the location is the main communication route between Rhodesia, a colonial country in British southern Africa, and Portuguese East Africa in the east.
Even if it was a small town, the British recorded it in this way, and it may have been a tribal gathering area in the first place.
By now, Umtali has developed into a backward but passable city.
But even the inhabitants of Umtali do not know the exact history of the land before 100 years, because the native civilization that could have continued and interrupted from the fourth and fifth centuries A.D. was completely interrupted by the middle of the 19th century.
Why the outage?
It is said that it is because of the war, but the victorious side does not seem to have any writing, and there is still no proof of death!
By the time the Europeans arrived, there were black buddies living in thatched houses and living in an almost primitive state.
Arabs had been to those stone towns hundreds of years ago, doing business, and they should have met their inhabitants.
However, I don't know what these Arabs think, and when they tell the Europeans in the north what they have seen in southern Africa, they all associate the people who built Stone Town with the king Solomon more than 2,000 years ago.
What is even more excessive is that the Arabs themselves do not write about these things at all.
Before Europeans began to rule here a hundred years ago, all previous civilizations were turned into legends in a few decades!
Because it has no words.
In Mozambique, to the east, the Portuguese had been in the land since the late 15th century, and in 1505 they expelled the Arabs in Sofala by force, establishing the first colonial base in southeastern Africa.
But Africa at that time was not something that Europeans could rule all at once, because of the environment and climate!
The mine was close to the border, a few dozen kilometers to the east, past the mountains and into the primeval jungle, and the Portuguese had not completely occupied the interior of the land to the east for hundreds of years.
It was not until 1891 that Britain and Portugal signed an agreement recognizing the whole of Mozambique as part of Portugal: Mozambique was officially demarcated and called Portuguese East Africa.
More than 100 years ago, colonists on this continent occupied a coastal stronghold and claimed that it was my state!
Then I sent an expedition team or something into the interior, and advertised everywhere that the place was my territory, but in fact, I didn't have much actual control at all.
The Arabs are foolish, the British don't know the history of Zimbabwe, they came relatively late, the Portuguese next door are cut off by the jungle and don't know it, and then ......
God knows who the former ruler of this place was!
