Seeing the statues in the underwater ruins, everyone must not be calm.

The human head and snake body, that is the appearance of Fuxi and Nuwa in the legend.

However, in the process of circulation, later generations feel that their ancestors and gods should not be so hideous and a little terrifying. So they slowly transformed it so that the ancestors of humanity became normal.

Even if you become an immortal and become holy, you are still human.

Therefore, Danfan still retains the anthropomorphic form of animals, which is basically the product of a relatively ancient and distant period.

Or it can be traced back to before the Eastern Han Dynasty......

Even in the pre-Qin era.

Don't think that in the pre-Qin period, the ancestors did not set foot in the sea.

You must know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi implemented the policy of managing the middle and dominating the world. One of these policies is to benefit from the benefits of fish and salt in order to alleviate poverty.

The fish in this fish salt benefit are not only river fish, but also sea fish.

It shows that at that time, the people of Qi had already begun to try to develop the Bohai Sea.

Moreover, this is a historical record. In the era when there are no historical records, I am afraid that there are more ancient people who slowly observe and explore the ocean......

In this way, generation after generation has gone forward and succeeded, and there is an endless stream, so that there will be shipping, economy and trade in later generations.

But......

The old professor muttered: "Throughout ancient and modern history, there is no record of this ancient city. ”

On remote islands, there are traces of human activity.

And that's not surprising.

After all, the Bohai Sea belongs to the Pacific Seismic Zone, and earthquakes and tsunamis are frequent.

In ancient times, a major earthquake caused a huge tsunami, which flooded and washed away some islands, so that some small villages and tribes were buried at the bottom of the sea.

The problem is that the scale of the ancient city in the sea is obviously not small.

Although the excavation was not completed, if you look at the outline of it, you can see that it is a castle that can accommodate more than 10,000 people.

10,000 people live together, it is definitely not a village, it can be called a yi.

On the shore of the Bohai Sea, 10,000 people live together, which is an important town. Moreover, the grain cultivated on one side of the island will definitely not be able to meet domestic demand, and it will definitely have to interact with the surrounding areas.

After that, more or less, it will also leave some traces of economy and culture.

The problem is that in the old professor's impression, he doesn't remember that there are similar historical materials in the Bohai Sea.

"Yes, we have searched a lot of information, and we really can't find any record of this ancient city. Even, there are no sporadic legends that are scaly and half-clawed, and there is no ......"

The bystander immediately said: "We suspect that this is a ...... In the Spring and Autumn Period, or before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the ancient city sank in the sea. ”

The others nodded in agreement.

Mainly, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the technique of pen and ink calligraphy slowly matured.

The text carries the Tao, and the ideology and culture of the ancestors have sparked brilliant sparks in the collision.

A large amount of literature began to circulate in the world.

Prior to this, the text was either printed on metal vessels or engraved on bone tortoise shells.

is also doomed, the audience is small, and it cannot be popularized.

So, it is understandable that there is no record of this ancient city. But after arriving in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, such a large ancient city has not yet been recorded, so it doesn't make sense.

This is also why, middle-aged people speculate that the ancient city is at least a product of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, whether it is or not remains to be discovered by archaeology......

At this moment, in the middle of the sea, there are also nearly 100 divers, working hard.

On the surface of the sea, a large construction ship, a thick and long pipe, poured directly into the seabed. Under the operation of the machinery, with a violent roar, the black sludge sprayed out of the wide sludge pipe and into the mud area.

It's a technological advancement.

The wisdom of scientists.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to remove a large area of silt in half a day.

Divers in the sea, what they have to do is to check whether there are valuable artifacts hidden in the ruins after the silt is removed......

“…… Like, something was discovered. ”

Caught off guard, a middle-aged man reached out and pointed to the screen.

At this time, in the middle of the sea, several divers, in the cracks of several boulders, seemed to have discovered something.

They swam over, fumbled, and together they wanted to carry the boulder.

It's a pity that their strength seems to be a little small.

After several attempts, a few boulders did not move.

I don't know if it's because the stone is too heavy, or if it's embedded in the bottom of the sea.

It was found that it was unsuccessful, and several divers also gave up carrying it, but gestured and asked for help.

A construction ship, immediately moved over, suspended the rope.

Several divers, each tied the rope to the boulder, and then signaled to go down. On the construction boat, someone immediately started the machine, the rope was tightened, and the boulder was slowly dragged......

“…… Go, go and see, what is that. ”

Seeing this, the old professor immediately became interested. He knew that in underwater archaeology, if he encountered something worthless, he would definitely not bother to salvage it.

What is worth salvaging is definitely not garbage.

Several other people also understand this truth. At that moment, a group of people rushed to the construction ship, just in time to see several boulders floating out of the water, and under the command of several dispatchers, slowly moved to the deck.

At first glance, someone was surprised: "Hey, there seems to be a ...... on the stone Words, is it words?"

In an instant, he became extremely excited, and his face turned red.

"Words?"

Others were also excited.

Is it text?

Everyone looked forward to it for a while, and looked at it intently.

A moment later, a boulder landed safely on the deck, and before the rope could be untied, several people quickly surrounded it, regardless of the wet water stains, and began to rub and look at it.

After soaking in the sea for a long time, the surface of the stone naturally forms a layer of scale.

But they are not afraid of getting dirty and go straight to the ground......

As soon as they touched it, several people determined that on the surface of the stone, there were indeed traces of carving.

Whether it is a text or not still needs to be studied.

“…… Quick, flush, wash, get a rag. ”

There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and several boulders were neatly arranged, completely cleaned and wiped clean.

Several people stood nearby, their eyes full of excitement.

"That's right, it's literal, it's ...... Inscription. ”

The old professor's voice trembled a little, and his tone was very firm. Mainly on a few stones, large or small carving, the strokes are appropriate, showing the trend of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

Even if you don't know what these contents mean, you can judge that this is an ancient Chinese character.

At the very least, he can conclude. The text on the stone is cognate with the pre-Qin script.

"That's right, this fracture, this gap...... There is no doubt that these stones were originally a single piece. Later, it sank into the sea, and it fell into a few pieces......"

Someone excitedly said: "Perhaps, this is a stone tablet that records important clues." Maybe if you decipher the meaning of the words, you can know the origin of the ancient city!"
