Chapter 259: Inside the Ancient City
He originally wanted to rest for the night, but the master of Ula, who had been calm, was urging for the first time, the predecessor of Guge was Zhang-zhung, which means that they had half a foot on the map of Guge, whether it was Zhang-zhung or Gugena were extremely religiously prosperous dynasties, whether there was anything he needed in it, Ula couldn't wait to go in and take a look.
Walking slowly all the way, to the foot of the mountain, in order to prevent possible dangers, several people were fully armed, as if they were facing a great enemy.
After inspecting the climbing tools, Muge took the lead in grabbing the rope and climbed up. Judging from his movements, it is not difficult to see that he is a rock climber, and the mountain wall dozens of meters high took less than five minutes to climb, which made everyone stunned for a while.
Muge crawled into a cave mouth, and instead of recklessly entering, he took out a glow stick, shook it, and threw it into the cave. In this bitterly cold place on the plateau, the glow of the glow sticks shines a little brighter than usual.
Taking advantage of the glow stick, Muge saw the scene inside the cave clearly, and then slowly took out the flashlight, opened it inside, and the person also got in.
Following behind was Zhuo Lei, following cautiously, after Muge got into the cave, he did not go deeper, but stayed at the entrance of the cave and waited for everyone.
At first, he thought it was because of the limited depth of the cave, but it wasn't until he climbed up the cave that he realized he was wrong.
The cave is huge, but looking up from the ground, I had no idea that the space inside the cave could be so amazing.
The cave is like a small gourd mouth, and the spaciousness inside is unimaginable, as if the entire mountain wall has been hollowed out.
At a glance, more than a thousand square meters of space were exposed to them like this. And such a large space is nothing at all, because at the end of the space, the stairs directly carved out of the stone wall wind up, and at the end of the stairs, there is another black hole, indicating that there is another layer above!
And this is only visible to the naked eye, whether there are any more stairs up there, it's really uncertain. But judging from the height of the holes seen from the ground, this possibility is extremely high, and even the number of layers is a terrifying number.
In this way, it may be more appropriate to say that the seemingly dense holes in the mountain wall are actually the windows of the entire cave!
"......" Zhuo Lei opened his mouth, wanting to say something? But after opening his mouth, he realized how lacking his vocabulary was, and he couldn't find an adjective to describe this cave in his mind!
Everyone walked from the passage of the cave to the belly of the cave, but they did not speak, their eyes kept looking around, the cave was not empty, there were many stone pillars in it.
It can be seen that these stone pillars were one with the mountain wall at the beginning. The people who excavated this cave set aside these stone pillars to support the entire cave space.
But don't forget, Zhuo Lei is a real Ph.D. student in architecture, and he can see at a glance that the area where the stone pillars are left are all mechanical support points, and each stone pillar plays its due role. It can be seen that the people who built this cave had an extremely rich knowledge of building mechanics.
He pondered for a moment, then took off the searchlight hanging from the back of his backpack and turned it on, and shone it into the cave dome, the light shining all around, and the whole cave was much brighter, but still not enough to cover all the areas of the cave.
"Be careful, caves usually have animals like vampire bats, don't alarm this kind of existence!" When he speaks, his voice is kept low to avoid echoes.
At this time, Mu Ge's expression was strange. There was a look of confusion on his face, and he looked down in contemplation for a moment, but he shook his head and looked up at the rock dome above him, his face gloomy.
Zhuo Lei was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the rock dome. The average height of the ground from the dome was more than four meters, and in the middle of the ground, the distance he had visually measured was at least ten meters.
So in the case of poor lighting, if he wants to see the top of the dome clearly, with his eyesight, it is impossible to see what is on it. Curiously, he picked up the telescope, adjusted the focus, and borrowed the function of the telescope, trying to see why Muge was so engrossed.
With the help of the telescope, he finally saw a little clearly, what pattern seemed to be on the dome. The pattern is a relief carved on the dome, which is very large, divided into several plates, but the lines are very thin, and the age is old, and the top is gray, making it difficult to distinguish the content of the pattern.
This was not difficult for him, so he quickly took out the SLR from his backpack, adjusted the focus, carefully took pictures of the pattern on the dome, and then pulled out the picture from the camera, and slowly zoomed in to view.
Zhuo Lei was puzzled, these inscribed patterns were actually a narrative map, painted with countless strange things.
The first is an eggshell or a thick calloused object, and the next pattern is that the round object cracks open and something comes out of it.
Most of these things are human bodies, but the heads are not humanoid, some resemble lions, some resemble crocodiles, and some resemble eagles.
He wasn't particularly surprised to see this, but after reading the pictures of this area, some of the images that followed made Zhuo Lei a little uneasy.
For he saw that these things with the heads of human beings and beasts were standing in the middle of the human race, or holding a scepter in their hands, or carrying a laurel crown on their heads, and the human beings were prostrate around these things, bowing their heads and bowing their heads.
Zhuo Lei's heart was touched, and he took a deep breath. He knew very well that in the mythological epic, some gods were the appearance of the patterns, and he vaguely guessed in his heart, could these patterns depict the origin of religious myths?
However, he didn't have time to think about it, and the next picture shocked him even more, only to see that under the leadership of these human beings and beast heads, human beings picked up tools and built magnificent buildings.
Although the outlines of the buildings were blurred, Zorley could still sense the scale of the construction work.
The patterns below are basically related to war. Countless humans, led by these beast-headed people, attacked their own kind. In war, both sides have their own victories and defeats, but in most cases, it is basically the victory of the side led by the beast-headed man.
The style of the pattern has been changing between realism and magic.
The war between humans, the corpses are strewn all over the field, the blood is flowing, and the despair of the dead before death is vividly displayed, and the descriptions of those beast-headed people are full of magic, these beast-headed people seem to have amazing superpowers, or they can rise into the air, and with a wave of their hands, they can destroy a city, or cause a flood and volcano, and annihilate the enemy.
However, these patterns are not complete, and the story told by them comes to an abrupt end with the Armageddon Armageddon and the human Legion.
It's not that the carver didn't tell the story behind it, but the content behind it has suffered unknown damage! The dome of nearly 500 square meters has not been erased by some force, leaving a smooth mountain wall, making it difficult to know who was the final victor in this war, and what the victor did later.
"Hiss......" Zhuo Lei took a deep breath of cold air. Looking at these patterns, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and vaguely felt that these patterns had a great connection with human civilization.
Not to mention anything else, those beast-headed people, in the world mythology system, almost every one of them can be seated in the right number and find the corresponding mythological stories.
However, what kind of secret is hidden behind these patterns, the battle between man and god?
He laughed self-deprecatingly.
These carved patterns were definitely ancient relics in Zhuo Lei's eyes, at least thousands of years ago in his judgment, and the ancient degree of this cave was far more than that.
"Huh? ββWhat is it? At this moment, someone was at the end of the cave and was surprised. Hearing this voice, Zhuo Lei's spirit perked up and he hurriedly chased after him.
When I looked closer, I realized that he was carrying a boot in his hand!
The boots look old and worn-out in some places, but you can tell at a glance that they are modern industrial products!
Mug took it in his hand, flipped it over, pointed to the two "SS" letter markers that had been rubbed almost without a trace, and said: "This is the symbol of the SS, where did you find this boot?" β
The man pointed to the staircase that went up in the cave and said, "It's on that staircase." β
When I looked sideways, the stairs were covered in dust, and I saw a dark black water-stained mark above the stairs and all the way down to the bottom of the stairs where the broken boots were placed.
Muge's pupils contracted slightly, and he walked to the top of the stairs, squatted down, scraped away the thick dust, recognized his eyes, and said with a strange expression: "This is blood!" β
After saying that, he looked up at the hole at the end of the staircase, and his eyes flashed: "Blood is flowing down from above!" β
Zhuo Lei waved his hand, and everyone stepped forward cautiously, the first two guys with submachine guns took the lead, the stairs were very steep, and it was not easy to walk, and they walked on the stairs for almost five minutes before they reached the end.
After walking out of the stairway, his face couldn't help but be terrified, there were dozens of corpses on the ground, and the corpses were in a strange state of death.
Some of the bodies were lying upside down in a distorted position, while others were lying to the ground, with bullet holes in the back of their heads.
More corpses were entwined together, still fighting each other. It is clear that these people died in the midst of infighting.
The hole dug out of the mountain wall made a whining sound, and the cave revealed a cold evil aura, and when they found these strange corpses, several people suddenly felt a slight chill emerge from the depths of the backbone of their backs.
