347. The rise and fall of 10,000 years ago
Hearing Chen Chen's voice, Sal couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly walked up to him.
Following Chen Chen's gaze, he saw that there was a huge metal plate on the ground floor near the center, which was densely carved with exquisite patterns and various strange symbols.
At this moment, Chen Chen was carefully checking those symbols.
Sal also opened his eyes wide with joy, took two steps forward and squatted down, carefully touching those symbols, and his eyes gradually became feverish: "Cuneiform, sure enough, is cuneiform, it's amazing!" ”
However, the metal plate was too big to see everything from the ground, and at that moment, Sal hurriedly ordered a few of his followers: "Quick, climb up to the top, shoot the whole metal plate, hurry!" ”
Seeing that Sal was so impatient, several of his entourage did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly climbed up and photographed all the metal plates.
Seeing that there was nothing else missing, Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "It's almost time, let's hurry up." ”
"That's right!" Sal naturally knew that time was pressing, and immediately shouted: "Okay, the time is up, everyone hurry up, we should go up, we don't want to be buried alive in the yellow sand, so hurry up!" ”
Hearing the reminder, everyone quickly gathered together, and then quickly returned along the way they came.
When I climbed all the way to the top floor, I saw that the yellow sand had buried most of the entire pothole, and it was still rising, at the moment, everyone did not dare to stay, and quickly climbed up one by one along the rope, and then left the pothole.
Soon after leaving, the whole hole was completely filled with yellow sand, and the magnificent platform was submerged in it, and there was no longer a shadow to be seen, as if it had never existed.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if they delayed for a while, I am afraid they would be buried alive with the building.
"That's it, so the world has not been able to find the real ruins of the hanging garden, thinking that it has long ceased to exist." Sal breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze a little deep: "Only when the next wind and sand comes, will the hanging garden appear briefly again." ”
In any case, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and everyone will sit around to rest, eat some dry food and drink a little water by the way, and replenish their physical strength, after all, it is not a short journey to leave here.
Chen Chen borrowed a camera from several entourages and carefully examined the photos he had taken before.
Seeing this, Thrall and several scholars sat down beside him curiously, and asked, "Speaking of which, you seem to have mentioned before that you have found the answer, so the answer should be in these cuneiform scripts, right?" ”
"Yes, there are some things recorded in these words." Chen Chen nodded and handed the camera back to his entourage: "I guess it was deliberately left by the original Babylonians." ”
"Something was recorded?" Hearing this, Sal and several scholars couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock: "You...... Can you read cuneiform? ”
"Pretty much." Chen Chen smiled and nodded: "However, the content recorded on this metal plate is relatively one-sided, the information is extremely limited, in short, it is extremely incomplete, it seems that more literature needs to be found for query before there is a final conclusion." ”
Hearing Chen Chen admit that he could read cuneiform characters, the mouths of several people present were wide enough to stuff a few potatoes and tomatoes.
This is too unbelievable, you must know that even those experts who are familiar with ancient civilizations, when they get this kind of textual content, they have to consult a lot of materials and make detailed comparisons before they can barely translate the content, and this process is even more protracted, usually taking years.
But now, Chen Chen just took a few glances like this, and he could understand the content?
This kind of perverse thing really made several people a little unbelievable, they naturally didn't know that Chen Chen had received brainwave enhancement in the plane prison, and had mastered all kinds of languages and scripts existing on the earth, including all kinds of ancient scripts.
However, although they felt a little incredulous, several people still realized that Chen Chen should not be joking, and at the moment, his eyes gradually flashed with fanaticism.
Several people glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, as if they had made up their minds, Sal took out a stack of photos from his arms and handed them to Chen Chen earnestly: "Then you look at these words again, can you understand them?" ”
Chen Chen took the photo and checked it carefully, and saw that all the photos were all kinds of text symbols carved on stone slabs, metal plates or animal bones.
And when he understood these conclusions, his face became extremely solemn, and he sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to think.
Seeing this, Sal glanced at several scholars and cautiously asked, "Mr. Chen?" ”
"Ah......" Chen Chen calmed down, smiled and handed the photo back to Sal: "If I am not mistaken, these photographs include cuneiform, pictographic inscriptions, and oracle bone inscriptions. ”
"That's right!" Everyone was stunned for a while, and looked at each other: "You can see it at a glance, so, can you translate the content?" ”
"Where did you get these words?" Chen Chen didn't answer in a hurry, but asked rhetorically.
"Uh......" The people looked at each other, and finally it was Sal who replied: "There are pyramids, there is Rhodes, there is Stonehenge, there is the ancient Mayan city, ......etc."
"That's pretty clear." Hearing the explanation, Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders, and his whole person relaxed.
Seeing Chen Chen's confident look, several people also consciously kept quiet, and they didn't dare to come out, waiting for his next story.
"First of all!" Chen Chen raised his eyes and looked around at a few people, and slowly explained: "There are actually many things in common between several ancient civilizations, and among the ruins you have discovered, there should have been a lot of similar things!" ”
"That's right!" As soon as these words came out, several people nodded at the same time: "When we investigated those ancient ruins, we did find a lot of similar things, such as similar sculptures, patterns, some symbols, and even, some murals with similar content. ”
"What does that mean?" Chen Chen smiled faintly and spread his hands easily: "Although the birthplaces of several ancient civilizations are different, and the cultural and technological development is also very different, there are many connections and exchanges between them, and after a long time of integration, they finally produced something in common, after all, even if they are separated from each other at the ends of the world, they are all the earliest aborigines of the earth." ”
"That's right, it's like there are different countries now, and there are also many systems in ancient civilizations, so they are divided into different groups." Several people nodded in agreement: "Moreover, there is no lack of communication and integration between them. ”
"This is the inevitable trend of human development and progress, and ancient civilization has developed to a considerable extent, and it is impossible to have no exchange and integration at all." Chen Chen settled down and continued: "However, after the development of science and technology to a considerable extent, it is easy to lead to the overexploitation and plundering of the earth's resources, which gradually leads to the earth becoming barren, and the consequence of this is ......"
"Natural disasters, the earth takes cruel revenge on humanity!" Several people blurted out without thinking about it.
"That's it, the extinction of the ancient civilization is exactly what the world has judged, and it has suffered an extremely terrible catastrophe." Chen Chen shook his head and let out a light sigh: "The scene at that time was even more terrifying than the world imagined, it was simply an apocalypse, in the face of such a power of destruction, even if the ancient civilization developed to that extent, it was completely impossible to resist. ”
"Yes...... several people glanced at each other, and at the same time shook their heads and sighed: "Tsunami, volcanic collective eruptions, geological disasters around the world, and blizzards, which lasted for hundreds of years, were basically wiped out...... However, if you really want to say that, isn't all this caused by human beings......"
"That's the way it is." Chen Chen paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, after all, the civilization at that time had developed to a considerable height, and in the early stage of the disaster, when the destruction was not so serious, human beings still realized the coming of the end, and they thought of saving themselves. ”
"Self-help?" Several people couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this: "The disaster at that time was global, and there was no place on the whole earth to be safe, how to save yourself, unless you ...... it"
Suddenly thinking of something, several people suddenly widened their eyes in astonishment.
"That's right!" Seeing that a few people understood, Chen Chen couldn't help laughing: "The earth is not safe, so go outside the earth to hide!" ”
"At that time, several ancient civilizations began to use the biotechnology and mechanical technology they had mastered to complete the last plundering of the earth, began to build immigrant spaceships, and built launch sites, the hanging gardens of ancient Babylon, the ruins of the Mayan civilization, were the launch sites at that time, so it is not surprising that we just saw so many biological mechanical devices and even various lines inside the hanging gardens."
"As for the hanging garden, why it has nothing to do with the garden, in fact, it is not difficult to understand." Chen Chen looked at Sal with a playful expression: "That's not at all the garden we imagined to be used for play, the original meaning of the name of the ancient Babylonians refers to the place beyond the sky, and in the farther away beyond the sky, you can find a beautiful pure land outside the world for people to survive, just like a garden." ”
"I see, that's ......" Hearing this explanation, several people suddenly realized.
"These written materials in your hands are actually different ancient civilizations, and in their own ways, they have recorded the things I mentioned above." After a slight pause, and when a few people gradually came to their senses, Chen Chen continued to narrate: "In addition to recording these, I also mentioned a time, whether it is a Mayan stone slab or a metal plate we saw just now, a time has been recorded, and it is calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, which is 2012 AD!" ”
“2012? The end of the world? ”
