The lower part of the cash cow, which was buried, was supposed to be a pedestal, and the part that was erected on the ground did not seem to have much damage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Copper is a metal with very low activity, it is not easy to undergo chemical reactions, and the formation of patina is not a matter of one or two days, unlike iron, which is exposed to water for two or three days, and it will rust and cannot be seen.

In fact, most bronzes should not be called bronzes, because they are golden when they are forged, and they are called bronzes because they produce a patina after a chemical reaction.

Most archaeologists oppose polishing and rusting of the bronzes, so most of the bronzes are still cyan.

In fact, ancient bronze and gold were basically the same color, but later the ancients also discovered that gold, a metal, was less prone to corrosion.

As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire, not that real gold does not melt when burned, but that gold will not react and change color at high temperatures, while other metals are prone to chemical reactions at high temperatures.

The ancients had no interest in generalizing the differences between gold, silver, copper, and iron, they only summarized what they had in common, and then they were all called metals.

However, this is for ordinary people, for the ruling class, the word resplendent is extremely important, and the glittering metal and green jade are all tools for them to show their dominance.

Fang Hong had already separated from the tower as the rope descended, because the tower was getting bigger and bigger the further down it went.

The one that landed, Fang Hong felt that it was solid ground, not dust.

Even after such a long period of avoiding the dust, the ash has turned into a hard ground, and the thickness is at least more than a meter.

Fang Hong turned on the searchlight and shone it out.

The tower is not a single building, but is integrated into the stone building.

Strangely, this structure does not contain reinforced concrete, but it is very strong, and it does not collapse even when it is buried, and there are many vertical stone columns as far as the eye can see.

What is even more difficult and valuable is that these stone pillars are not built up one by one, but the whole stone pillar, and it is not known how the people mined these boulders back then.

The pyramids are said to be in the world, but in fact, only a small part of the pyramids are made of whole stones, and most of them are rammed earth or similar to concrete.

"Brother Gun, it doesn't seem to be anything, except for this cash cow, it's all empty. ”

"Empty? Fang Hong lowered his head: "Do you know why every time you find a large ruins, you find many artifacts?"

"Because the houses that ancient people lived in were not permanent, there are only two types of buildings that can be preserved for a long time. One is the dwelling of the ruling class on a huge scale, and the other is the tomb of the ruling class on a huge scale. These buildings are all representations of identity, and in contrast, the various artifacts that are more precious today are not as valuable as the buildings themselves in those times. ”

Pouring bronze ware, especially the country's heavy ware, requires enough ore, liquefaction, and then inverting molds, each of which requires a lot of labor.

At that time, were these labors comparable to the labor used to build such a large building?

It sounds like copper is really valuable, and gold is also valuable.

But don't forget, the whole world is not the king's land, in those days, the value of these copper to the monarch is no different from all kinds of furniture around us, how many people have no furniture at home? How many people's furniture is comparable to the price of a house?

The answer is, almost nothing.

Judging from the layout, it should be a square shape building, not a circular building, in other words, this is no longer a prehistoric building.

Prehistoric buildings were mainly circular, mainly because of the limitations of building materials, including many of the world's existing indigenous peoples are circular earth rammed buildings.

That's not to say that there is much of a gap between them and the mainstream of the general world and any cultural identity, just that they are thousands of years behind the world.

"Brother Gun, you see there's something on the ground over here. ”

Fang Hong turned his head and looked at the dark corner, at this time Liu Chao also came down.

The flashlight went over and saw a small stone platform with a bronze statue, or a bronze figure, on top of the stone platform.

Sure enough, it is in the same vein as the Sanxingdui style, with a square face, a big head, a large section of the surface of the eyes protruding from the face, and a square pattern on the body.

The wide nose is a characteristic of the pure Han in the past.

In ancient times, the Han people were characterized by a wide nose, single eyelids, and beautiful double eyelids, all of which were derived from the genes of other ethnic groups.

If you look at the ancient paintings, you can see that before the Song Dynasty, the portraits of ladies, officials, and emperors were all single-eyelids, and in the Song Dynasty and later, double eyelids appeared.

The history of calligraphy and painting is a very documentary art, and the single eyelid is the single eyelid and the double eyelid is the double eyelid, which is easy to distinguish.

The facial contours of this person are not prominent, but the eyes are very protruding, so they look very divine, which is the common feature of Sanxingdui bronze statues.

"Brother Gun, I checked the information, and many people said that Sanxingdui is not a historical monument in my country, but evidence of the existence of aliens, just like a pyramid. ”

"Huh, why do you say that?"

Fang Hong and Liu Chao both looked at this bronze man, this is a new big discovery, just this bronze man and a cash cow can determine the status of this new relic.

They said that the jade and bronze artifacts of the same era were too delicate, while the pottery of the same area was very coarse, so they concluded that the bronze and jade artifacts were probably copied from other technologies, and that the objects of the copiings were supposed to be aliens. ”

", there are some people on the Internet who are half-filled with dingdong. First, jade and pottery are both grinders, which can be slowly polished until they are formed, while pottery is made first and then shaped by firing pottery, and there is no way to modify it twice. It's like a person can make iron into a mechanical element, but not water into a mechanical element. ”

In fact, modern people have a natural sense of superiority, thinking that they are better than the ancients, once they find out what the ancients did well, and it is lost, they think that it has something to do with aliens, and this mode of thinking is the reason why so many strange unsolved mystery books are prevalent.

In the history of man-made architecture in the world, there are no unsolved mysteries.

The simplest example, the ancients for the firing of porcelain, has almost reached the pinnacle of plastic arts, porcelain this material in all aspects, is also better than modern glass. However, porcelain appeared in the Shang Dynasty, that is, after Sanxingdui, and it was very rough, and it was perfected step by step with the progress of history.

These magnificent treasures can only prove the diligence and wisdom of the ancients.

Liu Chao looked around: "Don't move anything, but it feels like it's accessible here, you can explore the way." ”

Fang Hong looked left and right: "That's right, you see, according to the habits of the ancients, there is a door in the south and a door in the east, if you enter other rooms, I'm afraid the structure will still be the same." ”

"There are no doors on the west and north sides of this place, which means that this is already the deepest part of the entire building system, and there should be many rooms or corridors and other buildings to the south and east. And it stretches all the way. ”

Very simple reason, ancient buildings, the south gate is the main gate, the east gate is equal to the current window, in addition to the skylight, then a ring of buildings, the buildings will be built in a row, the westernmost side of a house, is the innermost layer, and the east side will have a series of houses.

Because the house, which functions as a transportation hub, must be of four gates, south, south, and north.

When the level of architecture is improved and the rigid demand for privacy comes, it is the inevitable trend of historical development for round buildings to become square buildings, so it is easy to judge the location when entering the underground palace.

"Let's go south. ”

At that time, ordinary people would only build horizontally, and there was a large building with a coherent space to the south, which seems to have not been completely unearthed.
