"Crystal skulls?"

If you want to say that the most attractive thing among the three objects, Zhuang Rui is the crystal skull placed in the middle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole crystal skull is no different from the real *** small, and the gums of the skull are neatly inlaid with two rows of teeth, all of which are carved out of crystal.

The eyes of the skull are embellished with round crystals, revealing two holes, and the proportions of the facial features are the same as those human skull specimens that Zhuang Rui sees every day in the Institute of Archaeology of Beijing University.

It's just that such a crystal skull is the second time Zhuang Rui has seen it, and it will also be the second crystal skull he has.

It's just that this transparent skull is a faint blue, which is slightly different from the one Zhuang Rui got last time on Pirate Island.

And what surprised Zhuang Rui was that although this crystal skeleton contained an extremely strong aura, he couldn't absorb it from it, and he was never able to use the crystal skull to upgrade the aura in his eyes like the last time.

"Is it only the first one who can absorb the aura?"

Zhuang Rui rubbed the smooth surface of the skull with his hand, his thoughts were churning, when he first saw this crystal skull, he was full of thought that the aura in his eyes could be promoted again.

"Forget it, don't be greedy enough......"

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui smiled dumbly, this person's ** is endless, and his eyes can get abnormal changes, which is already beyond common sense, is it possible that he still wants to upgrade to a hero who saves mankind like Ultraman?

Zhuang Rui didn't want to think about the skull anymore, but Peng Fei, who was standing next to him, said: "Brother Zhuang, this skull is different in color and the shape is the same as that on Pirate Island?"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and said: "Yes, counting this crystal skull, now three have been found in the world, all of them are different colors, it seems that the Mayan legend may still be true......"

"What Mayan legend, why do I want to sleep when I look at this thing?"

Zhou Liang was a little puzzled when he heard it, when he stared at this skull, he only felt a little dizzy, but he didn't see anything different, and in his heart he just defined it as a work of art.

"These are all foreign legends, and there are several different theories......

Zhuang Rui smiled, after he got the last crystal skull, he really studied the relevant records, and found that there were confusing statements about the crystal skull, and there was no judgment so far.

Among the American Indians, there is an ancient legend that in ancient times there were 13 crystal skulls, which could speak and sing.

These crystal skulls contain information about the origin and death of mankind, which can help mankind solve the mystery of life in the universe. According to legend, people had until December 21, 2012 to find the entire skull.

That day was the end of the Mayan calendar, which had been circulating for 5,126 years, and unless the 13 skulls were gathered together and placed in the correct position, the Earth would fly off the axis, and only then would the supernatural powers of the skulls save the planet.

With the arrival of 2012, in recent years, many people who have studied mysterious phenomena have been looking for these crystal skulls and want to draw mysterious power from them.

According to the book "The Mystery of the Crystal Skull", there are a total of 52 crystal skulls. There are 13 Mayans, and the rest are scattered around the world in sacred places, including many other indigenous tribes in the Americas, as well as tribes such as *** and Australian Aborigines.

The book says that the mandible of 12 of the skulls can move, called "singing skulls", which stores a lot of knowledge, which is a gift from aliens from Sirius to earthlings, and in order to assist in the spread of knowledge, aliens have made 40 mandible immovable skulls on Earth, called "talking skulls".

However, the two crystal skulls that Zhuang Rui obtained, the mandible is immovable, it is carved out of a whole piece of crystal, and he doesn't know if there is really a crystal skull in the world where the mandible can move?

"Haha, if there is really 2012, we will all hide from you when the time comes......" Zhou Liang laughed out loud after hearing Zhuang Rui's explanation, and he was supposed to listen to the story.

Zhuang Rui didn't care, although he had absorbed a lot of aura from the first crystal skeleton before, but there was no reaction in his hand, presumably this thing was just an old work of art.

After shifting his thoughts, Zhuang Rui turned his attention to the other two objects, on the left was a scepter, all golden, with a dazzling ruby inlaid at the top, crystal clear and shimmering with an alluring luster.

Around the ruby, there is a circle of diamonds the size of rice grains, which sets off the ruby at the top more gorgeous, and down is the handshake, slightly concave inward, Zhuang Rui stretched out his right hand and shook it, just put the palm in.

"It's so heavy......"

Zhuang Rui weighed it gently, just such a scepter about one meter long, its weight is at least more than five kilograms, under the grip, it is also carved with a wave pattern ornament, which is extremely exquisitely made.

Zhou Liang had some insight and asked, "Brother Zhuang, this thing should at least be used by a foreign monarch, right?"

"That's right, from the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the rulers of ancient Greece, they all liked to hold a scepter, and it was also unearthed in Egypt, but this golden scepter is extremely rare, and the artistic value is very high......"

Zhuang Rui nodded when he heard this, this gold scepter is not inferior to the cross scepter used by the Queen of England in terms of material, although it does not have the rare diamond of Cullinan I on the Queen's scepter, but the ruby on it is also very rare, especially the diamond-setting process under the ruby, which shows a very high artistic standard.

"Brother Zhuang, how much can this thing be worth?" Li Zhen asked, for people who are not playing collecting, its market price is the most direct way to reflect the value of an object.

"How much is it worth?" It's hard to say......

Zhuang Rui pondered for a while, and then said: "This object, if you can verify its provenance, and meet someone you like, it is estimated that it is worth at least more than 500 million US dollars......

"Multi-...... How much? 500 million? Or dollars?"

Zhuang Rui estimated the price of this scepter, but Colonel Zhou was directly dumbfounded, and after hearing this price, he had the idea of taking it for himself.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, art is priceless, this thing is in my hands, it is 800 million US dollars, I will not sell it, it may represent the glory of a dynasty, and the story behind it is the most intriguing ......"

The greatest pleasure of archaeologists is to uncover the truth behind history and make history recreate thousands of years ago, which is like a camera going back in time, leading people back to ancient times and swimming in the long river of time.

"No wonder you kid is so rich, it's easier to dare to love this money, right?"

Zhou Liang smacked his lips when he heard this, he knew a little bit of Zhuang Rui's worth, and really thought that Zhuang Rui's money was bought and sold by these objects?

"Brother Zhou, I'm a typical Pixiu character, these things are in my hands, and I can't get in or out......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and didn't explain, to be honest, Zhuang Rui's initial accumulation of funds, except for the manuscripts he made early and a painting by Tang Bohu, were basically obtained from gambling stones.

After Zhuang Rui had a certain amount of capital, especially after the Dingguang Museum was opened, none of the objects he got were sold, otherwise with Zhuang Rui's value, he would definitely be among the top three on the list of China's richest people.

Material needs are no longer too attractive to Zhuang Rui now, and his biggest wish at present is to build the Dingguang Museum into a large-scale comprehensive archaeological museum with international standards.

And the appearance of this golden city has also made Zhuang Rui one step closer to his wish, as long as he can restore this golden city to reappear, it will definitely shock the entire world scientific research community.

"Alright, let's see what's in this box......"

After joking with Zhou Liang and the others for a while, Zhuang Rui focused on the last object, which was a box made of wood that Zhuang Rui couldn't say, and the whole body was gray-brown, without a trace of moth-eaten or decaying traces on it, and it was very well preserved.

The whole box is flat shape, about 45 centimeters long, about 30 centimeters wide, the surface of the box is engraved with various flower and bird patterns, and the lock nose button is made of pure gold, which is quite exquisite.

"This ...... What is this......? Isn't it the golden leaf of the written word?"

opened the box gently, and suddenly, a bright golden light came into everyone's eyes, which made Zhuang Rui, who had always been very calm, also excited.

Because what was placed in the box was actually a book made of gold as thin as cicada yarn, because Zhuang Rui had not used his aura to survey this wooden box before, the scene that appeared in front of him made him also very surprised.

As mentioned more than once, the most precious value of the excavation of a tomb or site is not in the object itself, but in the words recorded in the object, which is the most important clue for human beings to discover ancient civilization.

Zhuang Rui does not know much about the history of ancient civilizations, so he needs to borrow more information on words, and the appearance of this golden book will undoubtedly give the best explanation of the origin of this golden city.

After a brief flip of the pages, Zhuang Rui found that although there were only eight pieces of gold paper in total, each piece of paper was filled with words written from right to left.

Zhuang Rui believed that as long as these words were translated, the secret of the Golden City would be solved.
