Hu Jiaojiao suddenly screamed, she was under the painted huge wooden pillars, in front of the exquisite wooden fence, lifelike, lifelike, vivid wood carved portraits, eye-catching and finely carved to enjoy the side of the hall, extremely excited to point to a coffin and said: "You see, this coffin is different, beautiful, I think the people in it must be extremely noble, maybe there are some good things in it." ”

As soon as we heard this, we became excited, and began to open the coffin, and the sound of the cowhide breaking on the strangely shaped ship-shaped coffin was dull and powerful, and it thumped, like some wonderful mysterious sound coming from the deep ditch of the deep, boundless sea. As the archaeologists say, "The sound is nerve-stirring, exciting, and I think it's the best sound in the world, and it's the footsteps of history from 3,800 years ago." "When it was finally time to open the coffin, all of us held our breath nervously, and we only heard a bang, and the heavy lid was finally opened by us together.

We looked into the coffin curiously, and the tight shroud weathered into powder as soon as it touched the air. We carefully lifted the rotten cloth covering our faces, and a young and beautiful girl appeared in front of us, this is the face of a young woman. It is the mummy of a young woman with long hair and a shawl, a petite and delicate figure, standing only 5.2 feet tall. About 158 centimeters, her nose is pointed and very small, her eyes are very deep, her eyes are closed, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, as if she has just fallen asleep by magic, and there is a faint hint of a mysterious smile on her face, and the intriguing sweet smile of Monla Lisa makes people think about it.

Although thousands of years have passed, the dried corpses are well preserved and the smiles are clearly visible. Her forehead is not very wide, but her cheekbones are relatively high, her eye sockets are deeper than the average person, even her eyelashes can be seen clearly, the bridge of her nose is firm and small, her lips are gently closed together, her tan hair naturally falls down on her shoulders, her clothes are extremely noble, her long tan hair in the middle is worn with a pointed felt hat decorated with a red belt, a beautiful eagle hooked nose, Slightly open thin lips and exposed teeth, she closed her eyes slightly, as if she had just fallen asleep, Chu Chu's moving eyelashes stood up like a row of young pines, covered with a layer of fine sand, like a dream, like a fascination, really intoxicating, pleasing to the eye, relaxed, mysterious smile, this is a beauty with European Caucasian characteristics, her long and thick eyelashes are still clearly visible, a smile emerges from the coffin, it is a solidified and eternal smile, for that smile is so unforgettable, like a pure and lovely doll, so well-defined, so beautiful, beautiful, flowers and branches, such as flowers like jade, beauty like jade. That smile was so vivid and contagious, that it made us present have a strong and lasting sense of pleasure in our hearts.

"Oh my God, look, this girl is so pretty, so beautiful, so beautiful, her eyes are deep and beautiful. The face is delicate, the outline is three-dimensional, lifelike as the real thing, and he smiles at me. This girl is still wearing bracelets and necklaces, which is really unexpected, thousands of years ago, the ancient people still loved beauty. At that time, people were quite fond of beauty, inlaid with gold and silver, and piled up with gold and jade. ”

I secretly thought in my heart that you, Miss Hu, are not the ancients of a thousand years ago to me, and they are not the same as they love beauty, so what is the fuss. But we took a closer look, these funeral jewelry is indeed finely made, perfect, silky, beautiful, really not like the work of thousands of years of ancients, only to see a red thick wool rope through an oval pale yellow serpentine jade bead tied to the right wrist of those girls, but also with exquisite jade bracelets and sparkling, jeweled necklaces around her white and slender neck, brown hair and red wool entwined with exquisite work of the collar, and decorated with glittering marble or serpentine jade pieces, complementing each other, long wool tassels fluttering in the wind, simple jade beads on the arms, the collar twisted from the coarse wool on the neck reveals a simple pursuit of beauty. Next to her, there are tall wooden carved figures, small wooden carved human faces, carved wooden arrows, dark bows, wooden ancestors, ephedra bunches, painted red bull heads, serpentine wooden poles, gold beads, jade rings and other objects.

Xiao Fei suddenly became enlightened, and suddenly whispered to me: "I suddenly remembered, this is the famous Loulan beauty, this is the legendary Queen Rob, who is considered to be the oldest Caucasian female corpse in China, she has been sleeping in the desert for more than 2,000 years, and it is estimated that it is also about 2,800 years from the Great Song Dynasty." Because it was found in the Little River cemetery, it was named Little River Princess. That is, the mysterious female corpse of Lop Nur that Bergman first discovered and named. She is the mysterious smiling princess. ”

Xiao Fei looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly muttered to himself: "By the way, it's strange, why can this Xiaohe princess not decay for thousands of years? The well-known Egyptian mummies can only be preserved for thousands of years after special treatment, rapid dehydration, removal of internal organs, and use spices to embalm." But you see that there is no trace of artificial treatment on Princess Xiaohe's body. However, Princess Xiaohe's delicate face was smeared with a layer of white milk. I checked it carefully, and it was a cheese-based dairy product that had a certain effect on embalming corpses, but not the main one. ”

Duan Gongzi came up and said: "This is simple, it is true that the anti-corrosion effect of this kind of milk substance is very limited, and the main reason for anti-corrosion is environmental factors. The reason why it can be so well preserved is related to her closed environment, we can clearly determine the scene from the structure of the coffin, when people wrapped the deceased in a cloak and put it in place, hollowed out two poplar trunks, processed them into bracket-shaped butts and fixed them together, and covered them with dozens of small baffles to make the coffin lid. Wrap the whole coffin in fresh cowhide, and as the dried cowhide is taut, this prevents the entry of fine sand and isolates oxygen, so that the seal creates a dry and unventilated environment where bacteria cannot enter. In addition, the small river basin itself is in the desert and is dry all year round, coupled with such a sealed preservation, creating a closed and impermeable, and very dry space environment, even bacteria are difficult to enter, it is precisely because of this that the small river princess can not rot for thousands of years and keep smiling forever. "I see, Duan Gongzi is also so knowledgeable,

Hu Jiaojiao said curiously: "Who is this girl, is her identity very prominent, is she a real princess?"

Duan Gongzi said thoughtfully: " I don't know, the tomb has been looking for a long time, and there are no clues, just from her appearance characteristics are mainly tan hair, the bridge of the nose is relatively high, and the eyes are very deep, these surface features have made archaeologists always think that Princess Xiaohe is a Europa, but after careful observation, according to her bone genes, she has a fusion of Eastern and Western genes, so it is concluded that she is a native of the ancient country of Loulan, Xinjiang, because as early as more than 3,000 years ago, people in Xinjiang have begun to live together, this girl should belong to the East Asian race。 But the mystery of who she is remains unanswered. However, the clothes on her body found that maybe her identity was not ordinary, and it may even be very noble, because these precious clothes are not ordinary people can wear, although I don't know who she is, but I am sure that this is a woman with outstanding appearance, incomparably beauty, and noble status. “

Xiao Fei whispered to me: "In fact, about the genealogy of Princess Xiaohe, experts have been researching, according to the precise study of her genes, even if some genes indicate that she is a person who has a genetic mixture, but the recessive gene shows that Princess Xiaohe's Asian lineage genes account for most of it, and Princess Xiaohe's DNA analysis can be seen that as early as more than 4,000 years ago, the population of the East and the West had a mixture of genes in Xinjiang, and the population of the Xiaohe River Basin is a mixed population of the East and the West. Therefore, the appearance characteristics of the river princess are caused by dominant genes, and the internal structural characteristics of the river princess are caused by recessive genes, and it is an indisputable fact that the Asian genealogy genes of the river princess account for most of them. Not only the dried corpse of Princess Xiaohe, but also the genes of the mummies in the entire basin were analyzed, and it was found that most of the mummies had an oriental lineage, and like Princess Xiaohe, Asian lineage genes accounted for most of them. Moreover, these studies are very accurate, and the genes used for research are extracted from bones and teeth, which has a strong reference value. ”

Zeng Lu was puzzled and said, "By the way, why did this girl die so early and at a young age?" Hu Jiaojiao also sighed.

Wang Gongzi took a closer look and said, "You see, Princess Xiaohe's abdomen has slightly raised marks, maybe she died of dystocia, so she still maintains a happy and charming smile on her face, and has entered a long sleep for thousands of years. "In order not to disturb the beautiful girl, we continued to re-close the lid of the coffin, so that she could continue to sleep in a charming posture.
