Yang Meng found that she was particularly stupid.

He accepted the advice of the satellite, hung two national flags on the front of the car and fluttered in the wind, and also pasted large flags on both sides of the car and on the butt of the car.

After knowing that Yang Meng had been coldly shot, the satellite made this suggestion: in Shulia, the Han flag is definitely better than the UN logo of the United Nations: now even the opposition will not attack the Han people------ they have almost cleaned up.

Yang Meng now understands the situation in Syria: to be precise, the situation is different in each province.

For example, in the south of Shulia, although the government forces now control the entire southern region, the situation there is still not very optimistic.

In the southern province of Dara, an opposition group known as the 'Free Army of the South' regularly attacks police stations and government posts, and the situation is similar in Suweida.

In fact, with the exception of Latagia and Damascus, there are still quite a few people in Shulia who oppose the current government, but their attitudes are different. But they are not stupid, they know that no matter what the final result is, they still need the help of the Han State to rebuild, so now no one will be stupid to trouble the Han people----- even the opposition will not do it.

The attitude of the government forces and the opposition on this point is unanimous: the Han people are friends.

But they are too enthusiastic about their friends, which also gives Yang Meng a headache.

The probability of Yang Meng being stopped on the way is significantly higher than when he came, you said that the police asked him to stop Yang Meng as if he was stopping a taxi, but it is understandable, what is the matter with those Shulia people stopping him with a smile on their faces and asking for a group photo?

The most helpless thing is that Yang Meng went out of the city and chose the road at the foot of Kexin Mountain, which is another more prosperous place, and everywhere Yang Meng's car went, it caused traffic congestion!

Seeing the horn of the car behind Yang Meng was also anxious, and wanted to apologize, but the driver of the car behind stopped the car and took a photo with Yang Meng with his mobile phone.

It is estimated that they have never seen such a blatant 'peacekeeping medical officer' running on the street with the Han flag: in addition, here in Damascus, Han people are indeed too rare, and they have hardly seen Han tourists here since the war.

Yang Meng originally planned to charge all the way to chase Liu Pianpian, but it turned out to be good, it took about four hours to get out of Damascus City alone.

Four hours out of a city doesn't sound like a long time, but you must know that Damascus is about the size of a hundred square kilometers, and in Han is the size of a district with a larger city。。。。。。

By the time Yang Meng Palmyra arrived, it was already more than seven hours later.

Palmyra is the name of our countrymen, and the locals call it 'Tedmoor', which probably means 'date', an oasis built on the desert. Like Damascus and Aleppo, it is one of the oldest cities in the world. It's in the province of Homs, north of Damascus.

In fact, there are two things that are needed to thrive in a desert region: commerce and water, and there is no shortage of both.

Ancient caravans wanted to cross the Shulia Desert, they had to transit through here, including the trade between Chang'an and Rome more than 2,000 years ago! It was one of the most culturally rich oasis cities on the ancient Silk Road.

It has existed since the 19th century B.C.! Judging from the excavated palace ruins, theater ruins and cemeteries, this should be an ancient capital. Because of its important geographical location and trade role, the empires that occupied them next took it seriously, so it really had everything in those days: magnificent towers, fortresses, temples, tombs, triumphal arches, Roman gladiatorial arenas, etc., and the architectural styles were also varied: Romanesque, Corinthian。。。。。。 In the words of UNESCO: Palmyra is the birthplace of human civilization!

Sorry, no!

In fact, Shulia has suffered numerous wars. First let the Roman Empire occupy, and later let the Sassanid Empire replace it, and then the Palmyra king Odenatus and his second wife Zenobia defeated the Sassanid Empire, and after the death of Odenatus, Queen Zenobia began to lead the army to expand, Palmyra was the largest country when even Egypt was their territory, at that time there was a three-legged situation with the Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire.

However, this also angered the Roman Emperor Aurelian at that time, and directly drove the expedition in person, defeating Queen Zenobia in two battles and breaking through the city of Palmyra, and finally the queen was captured and brought back to Rome with the golden chains to parade through the city.

Well, no one knows what happened to her, some say she died, some say Aurelian is hidden, anyway, there are different opinions. The previous version of the Shulia currency had Zenobia's head printed, but the new version of the Shulia pound is gone----- current Shulia currency is the head of the president.

At that time, the Romans destroyed the city of Palamira, but half a century ago, the ruins of the ancient city were excavated while digging oil pipelines. It is extremely well preserved!

As a result, it has become the most important tourist center of Shulia, and countless people from all over the world come to Shulia just to visit the ruins of civilization thousands of years ago. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List 40 years ago. With that, business flourished, and people became rich.

At that time, the people of Palmyra were much richer than the people of Damascus.

All this until there was a damn war.

In 2015, fundamentalist extremist militants took over Palmyra, and the city was devastated!

At that time, the extremist groups directly plundered here, and small pieces of cultural relics were directly sold abroad, and those that could not be taken away were smashed and destroyed! Finally, the big ones could not be smashed? They were directly bombed! All the statues were cut off with their heads! Only a very small number of Palmyra cultural relics were hidden in the basement at that time.

In fact, most of the people who escaped the catastrophe were sarcophagi------ otherwise how could they hide underground?

The customs of the Palmyra people are very interesting, after their death, they are very similar to the funeral parlors of our Han people now, and then outside each small square are carved human busts, these busts are the appearance of the deceased before his death, and the rich people are carved outside the stone when the whole body portrait of the person was alive and even the appearance of his family.

Is this considered a cultural relic?

Forget it for sure!

As a result, these sarcophagi have become one of the few Palmyra relics that have been preserved intact.

Yang Meng followed the clues of the satellite and came to the Palmyra Museum to meet the owner of the museum, Assad.

This Assad is not very old, at most 30 years old! But he is extremely cautious, and when he saw Yang Meng, he was surrounded by six bodyguards, and Yang Meng could understand his caution: his predecessor was also called Assad, who was beheaded by an extremist group here and told the world。。。。。。

After carefully checking Yang Meng's documents and confirming that they were correct, Assad let the security personnel around him leave and warmly entertained Yang Meng.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, don't blame me for being cautious, it's really not okay to be careless. A few days ago, a group of Holmes's escaped opposition people came here to grab something. To Ms. Yang's surprise, Mr. Assad said, he spoke fluent Chinese.

"Grab something?" Yang Meng was puzzled: "What are you robbing here?"

The Palmyra Museum is less like a museum than a park, with only a variety of stone fragments except for the grass and trees.

Assad pointed to the fragments of stone and said, "Aren't these relics?"

Yang Meng took a closer look, good guy, the stones piled up in this courtyard are really cultural relics------ what kind of portraits with severed heads, broken stone pillars, and broken walls attached to the mosaics. What Umayyad stone slabs, Ottoman stone walls, Shulia has really gone through too many dynasties in history, there are too many cultural relics, but unfortunately they have all been destroyed.

And these cultural relics are just casually placed in the yard and scattered all over the place, and no one cares about them at all!

The perennial civil war has led to the displacement of cultural relics, and everything that can be resold is resold, and everything that can be snatched is also stolen. Now those who remain here are people grabbing the rest. What mosaic murals, tiles and the like from the ancient Roman period are just placed here and let the wind and sun shine!

It's not Yang Mengchui, any cultural relic here will be a treasure in any museum in the world, and it will be thrown on the ground here.

Of course, Yang Meng can also understand them: in their eyes, it is difficult to save their lives and they can't eat, and these so-called cultural relics are just stones.

Yang Meng took a deep breath: "Are they crazy?

But Assad said: "What to catch? Everyone has heavy weapons! Is it worth it for these broken stones? Is it more precious than life?"

Yang Meng asked Assad instead, he wanted to say that this is the inheritance of the nation, but for people who have been war-torn about everything, he says that he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, so he changed the topic: "What did they rob?"

Assad stretched out his hand and pointed: "They couldn't move things either, and finally smashed the coffin to see what was inside." ”

Yang Meng took a look, it was an ancient Roman sarcophagus, the coffin lid of this sarcophagus was very heavy, and there were no more than a dozen people who couldn't move it, but the robbers also had a way, and directly used a hammer to open a big hole in the side of the sarcophagus to hollow out the contents inside.

Yang Meng didn't know exactly what they took, he could only see that there were still a few human bones inside.

Assad suddenly laughed: "Mr. Yang, do you think I'm irresponsible?"

"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned, and he nodded subconsciously.

He really thinks so, anyway, you are the owner of the pavilion here, and you naturally have the responsibility to protect this place as a character here.

As a result, Assad was not angry when he saw Yang Meng nodding: "Mr. Yang, come and sit with me, and I'll show you something." ”
