Chapter 1019: Holy Relic
PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.
Professor Shen is a pure scholar, and his understanding of metal sheets is not so profound. In other words, I am aware of the preciousness of things, but there is no clear idea of how precious they are. In contrast, he was more interested in the content of the Ten Commandments.
After all, in the Bible, there is no clear record of what the specific content of the Ten Commandments is, and the current Ten Commandments are summarized and classified by later generations, so the Ten Commandments are not exactly the same in each version.
"Huh."
After looking at it for a moment, Professor Shen really found a problem: "Strange. ”
"What's strange."
In an instant, Yu Feibai hurriedly asked, with a curious face.
"These ten commandments are somewhat different from the commandments I know." Professor Shen was puzzled and said: "There is nothing wrong with the general meaning, but some key words and phrases seem to be different from the current ones. ”
"It's normal to be different, just like ancient classical Chinese, one word has several meanings." Yu Feibai was unimpressed.
"No, no, it's different."
Professor Shen shook his head, as for what was different, he didn't explain, but focused on research. After a few moments, his expression became more cautious, and there was some surprise at him.
"Old money."
After half a ring, Professor Shen asked, "Can you lend me this thing for a period of time?" I find the text of the Ten Commandments very concise, as if it were a very original version......"
"How primitive?" Yu Feibai asked casually: "Could it be that Moses wrote it himself?" ”
"Uh......"
Professor Shen was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "The era in which Moses lived has been more than 3,000 years, and legend has it that the Ten Commandments tablet written by him is stored in the Ark of the Covenant. But around 500 B.C.E., the Ark of the Covenant was gone. Therefore, there is no way to verify the content of that inscription. ”
However, according to the general law of the formation of the commandments, the sentences are more concise. The content with very few modifiers must belong to an earlier version. Professor Shen muttered, "That's how the text on this iron piece is, so I think this version should be earlier." Of course, this requires further research before we can determine the final result. ”
"Wang Guan, what do you think?"
In Professor Shen's expectant gaze, Qian Lao was not easy to decide, but handed over the choice to Wang Guan. After all, this is something he brought back, and he is naturally qualified to decide where to go.
"Can't do it?"
At the same time, Wang Guan was also a little apologetic: "As for the original." I'm going to take it to a scientific research institute to do an optical instrument appraisal and check what period the metal sheet is. ”
"Good idea." Yu Feibai agreed, and even volunteered to help with this.
Professor Shen regretted this, but he did not force it. After taking a careful copy with his camera, he got up and took his leave. Qian Lao surprisingly did not detain him, but urged Yu Feibai to quickly take things for testing.
"In such a hurry?"
Yu Feibai was a little surprised, and muttered at the same time: "We just came back......"
"Hurry up."
Qian Lao pretended not to hear, but advised: "Once there is a result." Call back and let me know right away. ”
"Got it......" Yu Feibai nodded, beckoned Wang Guan to go out, and then directly contacted an authoritative scientific institution. After the appointment was arranged, I came to the place and took the things directly to the test.
There's nothing to do next. Only be patient and wait for the results to come out.
At the right time, Yu Feibai said curiously: "Why do you think Qian Lao is so anxious." He urged us to test things repeatedly, as if we were eager to know the specific age of things. ”
"Qian Lao did this. There must be a reason for him. Wang Guan said calmly: "Don't think about it, you have to test it anyway, what's the difference between morning and night?" ”
"How can this be the same ......" Yu Feibai shook his head: "Qian Lao seems to attach great importance to this thing." It feels like something should be more precious than we think. ”
"So what?" Wang Guan didn't care and said: "No matter how precious it is, it's not like you haven't seen it." ”
"Yes, that's right." Yu Feibai thought so, and at the same time sighed: "It's a pity that it's useless to just see it, and it's not mine, the most tragic thing in the world is nothing more than this......"
When Yu Feibai felt sorry for himself, the results of the test also came out.
At this point, a researcher walked out with a look of surprise on his face and handed a document to the two men.
"What's the situation?" Yu Feibai glanced at some documents at random, and when he saw a large number of dense words on them, he was a little bored, and simply asked directly: "What era is that?" ”
"More than 3,000 years ago!"
The researchers didn't sell it, and they were a little surprised and sighed: "The specific composition of the alloy three thousand years ago is very complex, and it is best to do a comprehensive test ......."
"Three thousand years ago!"
For a moment, Yu Feibai was stunned, and only reacted after half a sound: "Is it really three thousand years ago?" ”
"Of course."
Hearing Yu Feibai's suspicions, the researchers were naturally a little dissatisfied: "This is the most professional instrument in ours, and after repeated verification, the error is reduced to the minimum amount, and then a written report is formed, how can it be wrong." ”
"Believe, we believe for sure." Wang Guan naturally understood the reason why Yu Feibai was surprised, and hurriedly smiled at the moment: "He was just a little surprised." ”
"It should be surprising indeed."
At the same time, the researcher nodded in understanding, and then took the opportunity to say: "So it is more important to do a thorough examination, and if allowed, it is better to scrape some dust......"
"What kind of crumbs." In an instant, Yu Feibai's face immediately changed: "Hurry up and get the things back for me, if there is any damage, see if I don't smash this place to pieces." ”
"If you don't agree, you won't agree, why be so violent."
The researcher muttered, but in Yu Feibai's cannibalistic gaze, he also wisely took the metal piece back and offered it with both hands, which made Yu Feibai nod with satisfaction.
After checking repeatedly and confirming that there was no change in the slightest, Yu Feibai immediately rushed away, leaving Wang Guan to pay the bill.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Not long after, Wang Guan walked out of the gate and saw Yu Feibai waving in the car, and as soon as he got into the car, he hadn't closed the car door yet. I couldn't wait to step on the gas pedal and rush away.
"There's no need to rush it."
Wang Guan hurriedly fastened his seat belt and carefully advised: "Calm down, calm down!" Safety first, safety first......"
However, the reality is that with the traffic situation in the capital, even if Yu Feibai wants to drag race, he can't get up. But when he was driving, he had an excited expression on his face: "I finally understand that Qian Lao is so eager now, it seems that his old man should have a premonition in this regard, so he urged us to come over for testing." ”
"Uh-huh." Wang Guan nodded again and again.
"What is 3,000 years ago, even if there is a 100-year error. Almost negligible. Yu Feibai longed: "In other words, this piece of metal is very likely to be a relic of Moses?" Even if it's not, it has something to do with it. ”
"Whether it is a relic of Moses or not, but it must be a holy relic of Judaism."
Wang Guan was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Think about it, under the conditions at that time, except for the high-ranking people of Judaism, or the king and the nobles. Who could have made something so delicate. ”
"That's right." Yu Feibai thought so, and drove faster. And it was rare that there were not many red lights, so I quickly returned to the door of the mansion, and the car was not locked and ran to the living room to report the good news to Qian Lao.
"As expected."
I heard the message. Qian Lao calmed down anyway, and there were not many surprises, at most he smiled, and his intuition was still keen and satisfied.
"Qian Lao. Did you know there was such a thing? Yu Feibai asked curiously.
"It's just conjecture...... Qian Lao groaned, his fingers tapped slightly on the coffee table for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Wang Guan." Have you ever heard of Zionism? ”
"What?"
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have heard that it seems to be an organization established by Jews scattered all over the world in order to return to their hometown Palestine and rebuild the Jewish state. ”
"In that case, then you should know that during World War II, Jews were persecuted by the Nazis in Germany and wanted to flee Europe in a frenzy. Even at that time, someone contacted the government of the Republic of China at that time and wanted to immigrate to China......"
Between speaking, Qian Lao sighed a little: "But unfortunately, due to various reasons, the government of the Republic of China rejected this proposal." Otherwise, perhaps after the founding of New China, the big family of the Chinese nation may have one more member. ”
History has no ifs, after Qian Lao shook his head, he continued: "Of course, large-scale immigration is not allowed, but it is still possible to accept hundreds or thousands of people, after all, compared to a large country with a population of hundreds of millions, hundreds or thousands of people are just a drop in the ocean, directly submerged in the ocean, and there is no wind and waves at all." ”
"However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to foreign policy reasons, Japan did not recognize some humiliating treaties, and foreigners living in China were also repatriated. But there are still some people who have not left and are willing to stay and support China's construction. We would certainly welcome this and thank you very much. Among these foreigners, there were naturally Jews. ”
At the right time, Qian Lao smiled and said: "I knew such a Jewish scholar back then, and I had a close relationship with him for a period of time, and I also learned some about Judaism in his mouth, so I was a little suspicious when I saw the metal piece just now, especially when I heard that the words on the plate were the commandments of the Ten Commandments of Moses, so I was naturally more convinced." ”
"As for now, since it has been scientifically tested, then there is no doubt about it."
For a while, Qian Lao was also a little excited: "That scholar once said that Moses recast the Ten Commandments and engraved them on stone tablets. However, the so-called stele is likely to be a translation of later generations, and it may not really refer to the stele. That is, it is quite possible that the precepts were engraved on other carriers......"
"Like a piece of metal?"
In an instant, Yu Feibai comprehended it and said with a smile: "I think so too, I don't want to think about it carefully, put a big stone tablet in the ark of the covenant, how heavy it should be." ”
"Of course, all this is just speculation on his part." Qian's old saying turned around: "What is the truth of the facts, it is difficult to say clearly before there is tangible evidence......" (to be continued......
