Chapter 1342: How difficult it is for people to leave a name
A gust of wind blows through the sparse pine forests and grasslands around him, and in such an environment, this person can easily feel a little blank.
Of course, it would be more harmonious if there were no roaring pile of construction machinery and Russian GIs with shovels and pickaxes.
People are the sky is firm, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, and the artistic conception is written; Zhang Nan is playing actually, and the army under the blue sky is busy digging graves!
Reality is reality, and such a scene can still make life feel a little high.
Looking at the burial tomb where the final photo and recording work was being done, Zhang Nan said to a few people on the side: "This person is like a gust of wind, who can know who is who after a long time?"
Look at this person, it is estimated that he was also a famous figure among the Huns, but now no one will know who he is, and his name cannot be found even when digging his grave.
Father and mother have given names, people have left names, geese have left voices?
Nonsense!
But if you can still hang it on the wall in 300 years, it will be a success, and I don't know if we will have this treatment in the future. ”
Who is he?
What did he do?
What traces did he leave in this world?
These questions and wonderful feelings are the biggest charm of direct dialogue with the unearthed cultural relics, and they are also the biggest reason why Zhang Nan wants to dig here.
There are not many people who can leave a name in history, and the same name as the tomb can also be more rare on the number, and the Huns who are lying in the more than a dozen Jiazi tombs here are about to leave their names, but who is still not clear.
Obscurity is not necessarily a bad thing, this unlucky celebrity will be dug up if he is not careful!
The bones are still sour when they are rotten, and they are all gone, and if the bones are still there, then wait for someone to study them!
The worst thing is that it is not rotten, no matter what identity you used to be, nine times out of ten you will soak in formalin for people to visit!
Thousands of people in these few square kilometers are busy digging in groups, very lively, Zhang Nan knows that even if he doesn't dig, sooner or later Mongolia will do some joint archaeological excavation here, it's a big deal that it won't be as large as this time.
That's the way it is in this life, no matter if you are a prince or a common man, there has always been only a thousand-year-old family in this world, and there is no eternal dynasty, and the most important thing is to live happily.
When you die, your legs are stretched, and everything is empty.
Thinking of this, I feel that the Mongols 700 years ago were really smart, and after so many years, no one knows where their Great Khan and the emperors are buried: otherwise, if there are more reliable clues, Zhang Nan will be the first to dig them!
If you can't find it, then no one will bother.
It doesn't matter if the boss's words are correct or not, just listen to it, and it would be best if you can express your approval.
You don't need to say it, just nod slightly, or think deeply a little, the leaders seem to like this way.
Chen Jianghua's gesture from dozens of meters away interrupted Zhang Nan's sigh, there was also something on his side, and some of this would have been sorted out.
When I walked over and looked at it, they were all almost rotten iron and a very small number of bronze objects—not large and heavy objects such as copper tripods, or brass ornaments on saddles and copper arrowheads found in the first funerary tomb.
It is the habit of the Huns to use weapons and horse harness to accompany the burial, as for the iron age, it is normal to use copper arrowheads, and the Chinese army at that time was also equipped with some bronze arrowheads.
The production of steel is not enough to be used anywhere, arrows are consumables, and the opponents of the Han army 2000 years ago basically wore leather armor, and bronze arrows were basically effective against them, not to mention that there were many Hun soldiers who were not even equipped with reliable leather armor.
As for the Xiongnu side, the metal basically relied on imports, copper arrows were more popular, and iron arrows relied on looting and seizure, not to mention any super iron-consuming iron armor, and the remnants of bronze armor seemed to have been found.
A total of more than 60 bronze arrowheads were unearthed in the two tombs, and the solid round collar arrows commonly used in the Central Plains were almost half to half of the hollow arrows commonly used by the nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu in the north, and it seems that the Xiongnu generals also liked Chinese equipment.
If the bronze arrow is of good quality and high hardness, it can also shoot through iron armor!
In particular, the style of the Central Plains solid round collar arrowhead is heavier than the hollow hammer arrow of the nomads, the armor-piercing effect is better, and it is also more unexpected, and the requirements for the bow are higher, and it is estimated that the general Hun cavalry has not yet been used.
When they are not fighting, the Xiongnu herdsmen 2,000 years ago even use stone arrows when hunting, and the metal is precious.
If there is no more significant discovery, the artifacts unearthed in the burial tomb that Chen Jianghua is responsible for do not need to be packed and taken away, Zhang Nan can't look at it, as for all the things in this place to take away, it will be regarded as stolen in the early years.
It's a very scoundrel and a very damaging move to destroy the authenticity of archaeology, but Nong Bosheng and others know that Zhang Nan plans to put these things into the private exhibition section of the museum in the future, and this is in Mongolia, so there is no problem at all.
If you don't take it away, will it be left to Mongolia?
I have long known that the Huns have something, and even if they dig up the Uzi steel knife this time, it is just a physical confirmation of the original historical record, and they will be taken away.
As for the Russians, threatening to lure Galilu, they will be busy enjoying the pleasure of digging graves, and they don't care, they don't dare to care so much.
Zhang Nan didn't bring a watch, and asked Alyosha on the side what time it was.
"It's just past three o'clock. ”
After hearing this, he handed over the two copper arrows he was holding in his hand to Chen Jianghua, and walked dozens of meters to the M1 tomb.
Several excavators, cranes and dump trucks are constantly busy, the scale and depth are too large, and they have to use cranes to transport soil.
There are no circular steps on the inside of the tomb, not because the excavator has dug it up, but because it has not been there. However, there are circular steps on the inner wall of the burial tomb that Chen Jianghua was responsible for before: because of the steps, the scale at the bottom of the burial tomb is not as large as the one that Zhang Nan was responsible for digging.
I stood on the side and watched for a few minutes, and the mechanical noise rumbled, and it was a little annoying to listen to - I didn't feel like it was busy before, and it felt a little noisy when it was temporarily empty.
All of a sudden, he lost the interest in continuing to dig treasures in the pit, and wanted to rest and change his mind, so he said to Alyosha: "Go, find that group of argali." ”
Saying that, he glanced at Guan Xingquan, who understood what he meant, and said, "I won't go, dig more than ten places together, I'll go around and have a look." ”
Knowing that Zhang Nan sometimes does things with jumps, it is normal to suddenly stop doing other things when he is doing one thing, but Guan Xingquan really wants to learn how the experts dig this time, so he won't go together and do his job.
Not to mention argali, even if it is a group of brown bears, this group of best bodyguards will not be in danger if they follow Zhang Nan, he can play as much as he wants.
