Chapter 0305: Petroglyphs on the Stone Staircase (2/2, Ask for Subscription!)
Lin Feng said as he walked: "White sugarcane is different from ordinary black-skinned sugarcane, it likes water and moisture, and it mostly grows in fertile places near rivers. ”
"Since you can find it here, it's not far from the water source. ”
By this time, it was already afternoon.
Lin Feng had been walking in the hinterland for nearly three hours.
The cane forest is very dense and extremely lush, and the view is not very good.
The long leaves, scraped on the body, itchy and especially uncomfortable.
After walking for nearly an hour, there was a sudden sound in my ears!
Lin Feng was overjoyed and said loudly: "Friends, there is the sound of water ahead!"
Seeing this, he hurriedly picked up his speed, ran, and walked through the sugar cane forest.
At the end of the forest, there is no road, but a huge rock.
Lin Feng jumped up and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
The scene in front of him stunned him.
The terrain here is very high and should be the highest point of the island's hinterland.
Standing on the top and looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the north coast.
Underneath the rock is a steep cliff about seventy or eighty meters deep.
At the bottom of the cliff, the flying stream is cross-current, and it is extremely turbulent.
The water flows from north to west, zigzags and turns, around a knife-and-axe-like wall, and flows into the distance.
On the opposite side, there are few plants and trees, and strange rocks are craggy.
If you look closely, the source of the water is actually gushing out of a dark cave.
The entrance to the cave was long and narrow, like a cracked opening.
in the live broadcast room.
The audience was shocked by this splashing cross-current, and even Lin Feng didn't expect that there would be a cave on the island, with a turbulent mountain stream flowing.
"Wow, that's spectacular!"
"Where does the water come from?"
"Hole must be drilled warning!"
"Now Master Feng doesn't have to worry about finding water!"
Standing on the cliff, Lin Feng looked at it for a while, and spoke again: "Brothers, I didn't expect that there would be such a spectacular river here......"
For a while, the amount of information was a bit large, and he didn't know how to explain it.
The size of Eurodia Island is not large, and compared to some Pacific islands, it is not worth mentioning at all.
In terms of the origin of the islands, most of the small islands were formed by the rise of submarine basins, rather than coral islands and volcanic islands.
There are no high mountains on the island, and there is no way to block the warm and humid air flow from the Pacific Ocean, forming terrain in the terrain.
There is no way to store water at all.
The only plausible explanation is that all of this water is groundwater.
In the live broadcast room, many viewers also asked Lin Feng this question.
"Master Feng, is this fresh water? It can't be seawater backflow, right?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but it's mostly groundwater. ”
"Almost all of the world's natural islands come from groundwater for their freshwater resources, such as the Hawaiian Islands we visited before. ”
"There is a lot of rain in Eurodia, and the rainwater is absorbed by the soil and stored in the ground. ”
"My assumption is that the island's underground aquifers are different from other islands, and that the groundwater that flows out of the tree holes is the best explanation!"
As he spoke, the drone plunged headlong into the cliff and flew in front of the narrow cave to shoot it.
The entrance to the cave is covered with vine vegetation, and it is green.
If you look at the rock formation, it should be a mixed rock.
"This cave entrance is not an ordinary mountain rock, but a fragile mixed rock, similar to the reef structure by the sea. ”
"The terrain is high, so the groundwater in the island is under pressure from the earth's crust, and over time it breaks through the fragile rocks and gushes out. ”
"Because freshwater is less dense than seawater, it can float above seawater and squeeze down the saline layer away from the surface of the land, separating the two. ”
"Of course, the reason why the two can be separated, in addition to the difference in density, is that the steep terrain prevents the waves from mixing fresh and saltwater ......"
"I've got to find a way down here. ”
As he spoke, Lin Feng began to look for it along the cliff pass.
The cliffs are covered with many unnamed vines, but they are all very fragile and cannot be borrowed.
Walked along the edge of the cliff for a while.
Lin Feng suddenly found an extremely irregular stone staircase with a particularly mottled surface in a pile of bushes.
The stone staircase is only one man wide.
Looking at the shape, it should be chiseled out with a chisel, and the slope is very steep.
It is in the shape of a zigzag and is attached to the cliff face.
At the end is the water.
"This stone ladder should have been built by the ancestors of the island, the purpose is unknown, and it is used to draw water......?"
Lin Feng said as he stepped on the stone staircase and walked down cautiously.
On his right hand side is a rock wall, and on his left hand side is a cliff.
The stone staircase is like the Huashan plank road, which is particularly thrilling and strange.
In addition, on the rock face, there are many hieroglyphs and petroglyphs.
It's exactly the same as the text on the old wall in the camp.
It seems that these characters are supposed to be the ones used by the aborigines of the island.
After centuries of wind and rain, the petroglyphs have long been destroyed by the village to a very blurred background.
I can only take a look at it.
The first depicts several men, dressed in animal skin skirts, standing by the fire, forging blades.
The second, with a lot of archers and catapults, is supposed to be fighting.
The third, as if in a palace, is no longer recognizable.
"Rock art is a kind of stone carving culture, in the Stone Age, human ancestors will use stone tools as tools, with rough, simple, natural methods, to depict and record their production methods and life content. ”
This is an early cultural phenomenon of human society, and it is the most important spiritual product before the invention of writing. ”
"The content of these petroglyphs seems to be a record of a war, and the last one is in a palace......"
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also attracted by these petroglyphs, and kept sending barrages.
"Part-time archaeology!"
"Hurry up, here's the artifact!"
"Archaeological Maple is online!"
“23333”
"Master Feng, who lived on the island before?"
Lin Feng replied as he walked: "I don't know, in the Pacific Islands, there are many mysterious primitive tribes, such as the Clovis I mentioned. ”
"The Clovis are a mysterious people living in southeastern Papua New Guinea, who live on hunting and gathering for a living, living in tree houses and living a self-sufficient life. ”
It wasn't until 1974 that the tribe was discovered. In addition to the Clovis people, there are definitely other mysterious peoples on some uninhabited islands in the Pacific Ocean. ”
After the words fell, Lin Feng had already walked down the stone ladder for more than 30 meters.
The closer you get to the water, the louder the rapids become.
Looking down from above, the end of the stone staircase has been flooded.
Only half of the stone wall is exposed.
It's pitch black.
Besides, there seemed to be a strange thing up there, crouching there, staring straight at him......
