Chapter 1113: Gutu Conjecture

The hand-drawn map on the parchment was not an imaginary treasure map.

Even the geographical distribution of the maps above is very different from the current world map.

However, in some places, the terrain is drawn, and some familiar shadows can be vaguely found.

This is a map drawn by ancient people thousands of years ago, and there are relatively few parts on it about the map on land.

And most of them are nautical charts.

Thousands of years ago, the ancients drew sea charts, which was a very strange thing in Xu Ran's opinion.

However, thinking that it was found from the corpse, then if the ancient Zhending mage used alien black technology, it would be possible to draw a complete map of the world.

Xu Ran asked the robot to copy the map on the parchment, and then make new marks against the current world map.

It's just that if you look at the modern version of the world's earth, there are too many mistakes.

So Xu Ran downloaded maps of different dynasties in ancient times on the Internet.

The robot will put together the boundaries of these maps to form a rough map of the world, and then compare them on the parchment.

It wasn't until 2,000 years ago that the territory map of the Qin and Han dynasties was translated, and then compared with the map on parchment, and the robot gave a matching degree of about 85%.

This shows that the map on this parchment was drawn entirely with reference to the map of the Chinese part of the Qin and Han dynasties.

As for the maps of other European and American continents, they seem to be a little different, and some places do not match at all, and can only be used as a rough reference.

However, as for the map of the ocean, the parchment is very fine, and if you compare it with the modern map of the sea, you will find that most of the areas between them can still correspond, and there have been no particularly significant changes for thousands of years.

However, there were many more islands on the parchment, which could not be found on modern maps at all, and the sea had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Xu Ran was most interested in comparing the maps of China and some of the associated areas in the Qin and Han dynasties.

He found that the map there was the most detailed, and some of the parties had special markings, and he didn't know what they meant.

Xu Ran searched for the place where Xia Cheng belonged two thousand years ago in the map, and found that the location marked on the map was actually nineteen kilometers east of Shahaigouzi, and it was still in the territory of the Qin and Han dynasties, bordering the Xiongnu.

Not only that, but from there to the west, it also marked the starting point of the Silk Road and the routes of the countries in the Western Regions.

The point is that the ancient kingdoms of the Western Regions marked on the map are also very detailed, not thirty-six countries, but forty-seven small states or tribes in the Western Regions.

Even some maps of the Roman Empire, which were contemporaries of the Qin and Han dynasties, were marked in detail.

Xu Ran was not interested in studying the imperial territory of the Roman era for the time being, but it was large enough, and it was the only super empire that could be compared with Huaxia at that time.

He focused on the fact that among the ancient countries of the Western Regions at that time, there was a small country that had long since disappeared in the long river of history and had never been recorded in any history, which was very consistent with the location of the ruins of the Shigan River.

Even, the thousand-year-old town buried under the yellow sand that Xu Ran once saw in that video turned out to be an important town in this small country.

Moreover, following the clues drawn on the map, Xu Ran found that some places on the Silk Road also had some special markings.

Even the large mountain ranges of Kunlun and Tianshan are specially marked, and there are some forks on the silk route to lead to the direction of the two mountain ranges.

And among those two mountain ranges, there are also some small points marked, which are very detailed.

Further east from there, Xu Ran saw the square-shaped markers distributed on the map, which were more clearly different from other markers.

And the last marked point is in the area where the current Shahai Trench is located.

Xu Ran made a careful comparison and found that the coordinates corresponded to the coordinates of the Yuezhi Temple he had discovered, as well as the coordinates of the Temple of the Chief Priest of Shaba.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Ran's mind.

Those marked points, will they all be some kind of spatial coordinates, not just two-dimensional coordinates of a flat map?

Perhaps all of the marks on this ancient map are three-dimensional spatial coordinates.

But since they are all marked in the form of three-dimensional spatial coordinates, what do they mean?

The map is only marked to the west, up to the Guanzhong region of the Qin and Han dynasties, and then to the east across the south of the Great River, and the Great River Basin is very few, only a general province is marked, and there is no special punctuation to mark.

That means that the map is marked in the west, and the western region, and then beyond the Roman Empire, from the Mediterranean Sea there, to the Indian Ocean, so that the line connects all the oceans.

Even from there, further west on the European continent, the geography of some of the seas connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the American continent becomes detailed again.

Gradually, Xu Ran's thinking became somewhat clearer.

The dry corpse is an ancient person from a thousand years ago, but the ancient map hidden on his body is from the Qin and Han dynasties for 2,000 years.

Coupled with the clues and antiquities about time and space travel obtained by Xu Ran, they all pointed to the great correlation between the ancients a thousand years ago and some things two thousand years ago.

If there is an assumption, that is, some people who were still in the Song and Yuan dynasties a thousand years ago, because of some special reasons, or after they discovered the product of some black technology, they wanted to change some things after this thousand years, so they went back to two thousand years ago and did some things, thus changing some people in a certain local corner, as well as the historical situation of things.

This kind of local change will not affect the overall pattern and process of the entire historical development.

In this case, what did the ancients do a thousand years ago two thousand years ago, through some signs left in the Shigan River, including the holder behind the Spring and Autumn Golden Order, and the Exquisite Kingdom from the Western Regions.

One of them is an ancient person a thousand years later, and the other belongs to a small country two thousand years ago, and there must have been some intersection between them, so the traces left by the queen of the exquisite ancient country will be left in the ruins of Shiganhe, and they will appear in the main temple that was built a thousand years later.

Between the two, Xu Ran felt that the queen had traveled to a thousand years later, and the person who held the order had traveled to a thousand years ago, and they had both done some things, thus changing some historical processes, thus influencing each other, and making time and space distorted and disordered there.
