The discovery of an ancient quarry by a quarryman on a stone mountain soon alarmed Chen Yan and shocked the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next morning, Chen Yan took a helicopter to the ancient quarry.

Chen Yan first asked the pilot to go around the quarry, Chen Yan can roughly know how large the ancient quarry is, about 1 square kilometer, maybe the ancient human in order to facilitate the transportation of stones, the quarry extends along the canyon, and the stones are taken on both sides of the canyon, which is very convenient for transportation.

From the helicopter, you can see things that are hard to see on the ground, for example, a huge carving of a human face, a huge stone lying in a pile of rubble, the ancient craftsmen were going to carve this stone into a humanoid statue, but, for unknown reasons, the statue only carved a facial outline, carved out curly hair, a pair of eyes, a nose, lips and ears were not yet carved, and the stone was abandoned in the middle of the carving.

The helicopter landed on a flat rock in the quarry.

The helicopter flew away.

Chen Yan was going to investigate this ancient quarry, and Chen Yan was very curious about what ancient humans quarried here to build buildings, pyramids, magnificent palaces, or mausoleums.

There are a lot of rubble scattered on the ground, which is discarded stone left over from quarrying.

On some stones, there are still traces of carving and cutting.

In Chen Yan's mind, one can imagine a picture of a craftsman sitting on a piece of stone, holding a hammer in one hand and a knife in the other, with a focused expression, as if time had frozen in him.

Suddenly, he took the hammer, the hand of the knife stopped, time resumed the flow rate, he looked down and carefully inspected the place where the stone was chiseled, his expression changed slightly, and a deep crack appeared in the place where the stone was carved, and the stone was scrapped and was about to be abandoned.

Chen Yan continued to look for other discoveries in the rubble.

Chen Yan found something on a stone.

In a crack along the texture of the stone, some reddish-brown colors were found, Chen Yan rubbed it on the reddish-brown color with his hand, it was very delicate, this was not the color of the rock itself, this was the rust attached to it.

The granite does not contain iron, and it is surprising that there is no iron ore in this rocky valley area.

Chen Yan took out the Ice Crystal Holy Sword, cut through the rock, and found a piece of rusty iron that was cylindrical at one end and willow leaf at the other.

The piece of iron can also tell that it is a chisel.

Ancient craftsmen lost the chisel in the crevices, and the iron-cast chisels were oxidized in contact with the air for a long time, and the rainwater accumulated in the crevices, which accelerated the rust of the chisels.

However, the rust is at another angle, the rust wraps the chisel, isolates the air, isolates the acidity of the rainwater, and to a certain extent, greatly delays the rust of the chisel.

On the other hand, the iron smelted by ancient humans was impure and contained other metals, which also greatly delayed the rust of chisels.

Therefore, Chen Yan can also see that the rusty iron piece in his hand is a craftsman's chisel.

And you know, tens of thousands of years ago, this was an arid desert, and the Nile River did not flow here, so the Egyptian civilization did not extend here.

In the history of mankind, civilization was born in the great river basin, in the dense jungle, but no civilization has ever been born in an arid desert, so it is a mystery which civilization was used to carve stone with iron chisels.

But Chen Yan is at least certain that this civilization is a civilization tens of thousands of years ago, a prehistoric lost civilization in Africa.

Tens of thousands of years ago, northern Africa was a fertile land with a mild climate, abundant water and grass, and abundant water, and it is very possible that a strong civilization could be born under such unique conditions.

Chen Yan continued to explore the quarry, and an hour later, he found a carving site on the outside of the quarry near the canyon, where workers transported the collected stones, and then the craftsmen carved the stones into shapes, and then transported the carved statues, cut the flat stones, and transported them to other places by land or water.

Why do you want to do this, Chen Yan guessed, for one purpose, to reduce the difficulty of transportation, for example, a piece of stone weighs 10 tons, it is very difficult to transport, it takes a lot of capacity, labor costs, but carved into a statue, remove the waste stone, the weight is less than half, 3 or 4 tons, this transportation is extremely easy.

Also, in the construction of ancient humans, a large number of stone slabs and stone materials were needed, and a 10-ton stone could be cut into more than a dozen pieces,......。

It's all done here.

Chen Yan's discovery of a large number of discarded carvings here confirmed Chen Yan's suspicions.

A statue with only one carved body was abandoned, lying diagonally in the rubble due to a deep and extended crack at the waist.

On a stone slab, some patterns were carved, the slate was broken in half, and only two-thirds of the carved part of the pattern was discarded. These motifs are the first information about this prehistoric lost African civilization.

The motif depicts a deity and a snake.

Chen Yan has some guesses about what ancient humans quarried here to build buildings.

An explorer, Chen Yan believes that he has several qualities, first, he has the ability to survive in the wild like a wilderness survival expert. Because, explorers explore the world, often going deep into dense primeval jungles, deserted islands, etc., the most extreme and treacherous environments on earth.

Second, you must have the same high skills as special forces, because in the process of exploring and searching for treasures, you have to face other adventurers, treasure hunters, mercenaries and other people, in order to compete for treasures, just like the plot in the movie, fierce battles, tearing and killing, and also facing various dangerous situations such as local indigenous tribes, which require strong and agile skills and sober minds to deal with.

Third, it is necessary to have profound archaeological knowledge and archaeological thinking like archaeologists.

Fourth, it needs to be like a detective, and it requires strong reasoning and counter-reasoning skills.

Chen Yan's reasoning and anti-reasoning ability is very strong, Chen Yan's thinking is very sharp, and he can infer a large amount of information through an ordinary stone slab.
