Chapter 1001: A Mysterious Bronze Empire
"Imitations?"
In front of Sanxingdui, Yan Zifei, who is a super scholar, blurted out after hearing this amazing statement: "How is this possible?"
"Why can't it?"
Feng Qingyan was looking at Sanxingdui, but he didn't see anything, glanced in the northwest direction, and asked, "Is the burial area over there?"
"You mean that direction?"
Yan Zifei pointed to the northwest direction, then nodded and said, "Yes, there is a burial area over there." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then goes on to elaborate: "In an area of about 900 square meters alone, thirty small rectangular pit pits and elongated pit burials were excavated. The tombs are densely distributed, arranged in an orderly manner, the tomb direction is basically the same, the tomb processing is very exquisite, the vast majority of the tombs have a human skeleton, and the burial style is the upright burial. ”
"Shaft?"
Feng Qingyan frowned and said, "Did you find anything?"
"In these pits, there are a lot of jade, stone, pottery, ivory and other types of burial goods, among which most of the jade tools are the first new shapes found at the Sanxingdui site, such as jade cone-shaped ware, jade tooth-shaped ware, jade bubble-shaped ware, obsidian beads, etc., among which the jade tooth-shaped ware is extremely rare......"
Yan Zifei didn't think about it, so he immediately blurted out, very familiar with the situation in Sanxingdui.
"Well, that's not what I'm talking about. Feng Qingyan said with a deep groan.
"I have observed those jade tools many times and found a big suspicion. Yan Zifei was silent for a moment and said, "Among these unearthed jade tools, some are very exquisitely made, but some are relatively rough, and the level of craftsmanship varies greatly. Well, so to speak, the gap between the two is like heaven and earth. However, according to our research, it has been proved many times that they are from the same period, which is strange......"
"By the way, the craftsmanship of that jade tooth bi-shaped vessel is very exquisite, far beyond the production level at that time. Even with the current technology, it is difficult to make ......."
Yan Zifei frowned and said, she was indeed shocked by the jade artifact at that time, "This jade tooth bi-shaped vessel, with nine round holes drilled on the surface, is engraved with some mysterious runes, which may be related to ancient divination, which is very mysterious. ”
"Do you mean that in the same period, there are two levels of craftsmanship? one of them is catching up with the present?" Feng Qingyan was a little surprised, if in that era, there was really a level of craftsmanship that was directly catching up with the present, it was indeed very amazing.
Yan Zifei nodded and said, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Well, a little bit of an introduction. Feng Qingyan said.
"The east, the northeast is the residential area, the southeast is the workshop area, although a lot of pottery, stoneware, jade, etc. have been unearthed, but they are relatively ordinary, and the value of my research is not high. ”
Yan Zifei said calmly, then turned to look to the south, and said, "To the south, there is the famous sacrificial pit, which is one of the most important archaeological discoveries at the Sanxingdui site. ”
"Most of the types of artifacts unearthed in this sacrificial pit are new artifacts that have never been found in the past, such as bronze group statues, bronze god tree groups, bronze sun-shaped vessels, bronze eye-shaped vessels, golden staffs, gold masks, etc. The artifacts unearthed in the two pits are not only huge in quantity, rich in variety, complex, novel and mysterious in cultural outlook, but also peculiar in shape, extremely high in specification, exquisite in production, fully reflecting the highly developed bronze casting technology at that time......"
"The sacrificial pit is not only the essence of the entire Sanxingdui site, but also represents the highest achievement of civilization at that time. Their discovery fills in some important gaps in the history of bronze art and culture......"
Belch......
Feng Qingyan was a little distracted, and he was not very interested in these discoveries.
After a while, Yan Zifei also found out, so he immediately kept silent, and then asked, "Now, can you tell me why you think those bronzes are imitations? You know, what does that mean?"
"What evidence do you have?"
Yan Zifei saw Feng Qingyan and said without saying a word, in fact, she had already found that these bronzes were a little strange, but she couldn't tell where they were. And Feng Qingyan's sentence is fake, it is an imitation from thousands of years ago, which gave her a great revelation, like a corner of the veil of mystery.
Therefore, she has time to talk to a stranger to see if the other party can throw out some new statements and opinions that are valuable to her research.
"I'm neither a historian nor an archaeologist, and I don't need evidence. ”
Feng Qingyan shook his head, and after a deep sigh, he said, "As for what it means, it means that there is a more mature and developed bronze civilization. ”
"Why?"
Yan Zifei's eyes lit up and said, this is exactly the point she wants.
Because, the bronzes unearthed at present have represented the most developed bronze casting civilization at that time, and they are far ahead of the bronze civilizations in other places.
"Because the Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization is imitating that Bronze Civilization. In Feng Qingyan's mind, one bronze after another kept coming up, "Because the technology is not at home and the imitation is not in place, it will lack charm and divinity." ”
Yan Zifei was thinking about it seriously, feeling that this strange man's words were good, and his views were very novel.
"Actually, the biggest problem is that there is too much difference in their level to cause this to happen. Feng Qingyan thought for a moment and said.
"But at that time, the Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization was already far ahead of the world...... "Yanzi said with a frown, shocked in his heart, and extremely excited at the same time. Because, she always felt that this Sanxingdui bronze civilization was not simple, and it seemed to be hiding something.
Then, she frowned and said: "If at that time, there was a bronze civilization that was more advanced than Sanxingdui bronze, why is there no record in history?"
"That's exactly what you archaeologists do. ”
Feng Qingyan said, and at the same time was a little shocked, because the bronze civilization of Sanxingdui was already far ahead of the world. However, in the end, it was suddenly discovered that there was a bronze civilization that was more advanced than the Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization.
Moreover, the gap between them is not a star and a half.
"The Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization is likely to originate from that Bronze Civilization, so it will rely on the world from afar. Feng Qingyan thought about it and said, "Judging from the bronzes in Sanxingdui, I feel that the bronze civilization is no longer a simple 'bronze civilization' that can be summarized." ”
"How do you sum it up?"
Yan Zifei's eyes lit up and he asked, liking these novel ideas.
"Empire!"
Feng Qingyan said after a moment of silence.
When Yan Zifei heard it, he was immediately stunned, the word "empire" was too impactful.
Because at the level of civilization at that time, there could simply be an empire.
"A full-fledged and powerful bronze empire. Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment and then said, "Only the empire has the ability to produce bronzes that are of a higher level than the Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization and cannot imitate the essence. And the Sanxingdui Bronze Civilization, it is precisely because of learning the civilization of that empire that its casting technology will be far ahead of the world......"
"How is this possible? At that time, there could have been no empire. ”
Yan Zifei shook his head, "Moreover, if there really is such a powerful empire, how can there not be a trace in history?"
