Chapter 344: Fang Ming's reasoning
"It's really not possible at all, of course, it may be a little too arbitrary to say that, but it's true."
Sima Xiangqin also spoke up at this time.
"It can't be, right?"
Fang Ming didn't know why they would say this, in his opinion, there was nothing strange in this world, how could there be no possibility at all? It's illogical.
"The first one can't be, because of such a large cemetery, the amount of work is huge, even at the current level of technology, this is a big project, let alone ancient times. One of the problems that this brings is that a lot of people must be mobilized to carry out such a large project. Just ask, if a project uses a lot of people, how can it be hidden? Even if there is no record in the official history, there must be some 'legend' in the wild history or in some novels and the like. ”
"The second impossibility is that in ancient times those who were able to use so many people must not be ordinary people, or even rich people, but only powerful people, that is to say, people of the ruling class. Every move of such a person is within the sight of historians at that time or later, so it will definitely leave a record, but now Liang Lao has no memory of this at all, the only possibility is that there is no record of this tomb group in history, and this is obviously impossible. ”
After listening to Sima Xiangqin's explanation, Fang Ming realized that this was the case, but thinking about it, it was indeed possible to read this novel xstxt.
"That's where we get a headache. The so-called filling in the gaps in archaeological history generally refers to the fact that there is a record of a certain period of history in history, but there has been no relevant cultural relics to corroborate, and relevant information is suddenly found in a certain excavation. However, it is indeed rare to find a cultural relic but not find any, especially a trace of record or legend, in the event of a cultural relic. ”
Ma Tian also shook his head with a headache, he was the one who specifically presided over this excavation, and all this in front of him really made him not know what to do.
There was a sudden silence in the tent, no one was interested in drinking, no one was interested in talking, so everyone entered a state of wrinkling their brows and pondering.
From the curtain of the tent, the endless sand dunes stretched to the horizon, and there was no way to see the end, and in the desert the moon was very large, and the silver light on the sand dunes gave people the feeling of silver all over the ground.
"Perhaps...... There is also a possible ......"
Fang Ming did think of a possibility, but he was not a major in archaeology after all
people, so when I speak, the tone is hesitant, a picture I just think about, whether it's true or not, I'm not responsible.
"Oh? Fang Ming, you come and listen. ”
As soon as Fang Ming's words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Sun Ming was even more energetic, and immediately asked.
"Heh, that's just a guess on my part......"
Liang Bo waved his hand to interrupt Fang Ming's words, "You speak out first and listen." ”
"Hmm."
Fang Ming quickly organized the thoughts in his mind and said slowly: "According to the previous discussion, such tombs will definitely be recorded in history for various reasons, and the only possibility that I can't find such a record now is that this tomb group in front of me is not from the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Not from the Tang Dynasty? No way! ”
Ma Tian's face turned straight and said: "Judging from the cultural relics we have excavated so far, it can only be from the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt about this." ”
"Yes! Fang Ming, all the cultural relics unearthed now are from the Tang Dynasty, and you have seen all the unearthed cultural relics, and you also said that they are all from the Tang Dynasty. ”
Sima Xiangqin also did not agree with Fang Ming's words, archaeologically speaking, the unearthed cultural relics are an important reference index to determine the age. At this time, since a large number of cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty have been unearthed, how can it not be from the Tang Dynasty? Fang Ming's statement lacks reasonableness.
"Hey! I think like this: we found that the soil in one of the tombs belonged to three dynasties, which is a suspicion, and this suspicion is the same as what I just said If there is really such a large tomb group in history, there will be a record, then the only possibility is that this is not left by the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Of course, whether that's really the case or not, that's not a big deal."
After Fang Ming finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine, and even cocked Erlang's legs, which was directly a picture that had nothing to do with me.
"This ...... It couldn't be ......."
Before Ma Tian finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, because he found that Sun Ming and Liang Bo were both lost in thought, and it was obvious that Fang Ming's reasoning had attracted their attention, and even approval.
Looking at Sima Xiangqin, he found that she was also thoughtful.
"This ...... This ......"
Ma Tian's voice became lower and lower, and the tent fell silent again, of course, Fang Ming was the only one
The exception is the one who is because he is slowly drinking glass after glass, and from time to time "throwing" peanuts or meat on the table into his mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and even the moon didn't know when it disappeared behind the clouds.
"Old Sun, this seems to make sense."
Sun Ming nodded lightly and said, "Yes, at least it's much more likely than what we thought was from the Tang Dynasty, but we can't find any records in history at all." ”
Sun Ming has presided over a lot of archaeological excavations, and has also excavated a place where the unearthed cultural relics and the dynasty do not match, of course, this often only appears in the early stage of the excavation, and the final unearthed cultural relics are often able to support the dynasty.
Now this place is also a place to be?
The excavated cultural relics are all from the Tang Dynasty, not a single one from other dynasties, and Sun Ming did not think in this direction before under the influence of inertial thinking, but at this time, under Fang Ming's reminder, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
"But...... To prove this view, we need more evidence, and of course the best is to excavate artifacts from other dynasties. ”
Archaeology is a science, it is empty words, and it can only speak with facts, although Fang Ming's statement is possible, but before excavating cultural relics that can be verified, this can only be a conjecture.
"I have an idea, an idea for a way to dig."
Fang Ming was originally drinking, but in a flash of inspiration, he thought of a way.
"Huh? What do you think of again? ”
Sima Xiangqin was taken aback by Fang Ming's sudden words, the method of excavation? Fang Ming is a layman, he actually came up with a way to excavate?
"Hmm. Yes, but before that, can I ask you what exactly is the way you are digging? ”
"Carpet, simply put, cleaning inch by inch."
The method mentioned by Ma Tian is also a method that will be used in almost all archaeology, and the advantage of this method is that it will not reveal any places where cultural relics or relics may appear, and the disadvantage is of course that it will take a lot of time.
"Well, my idea is that it can be done another way. Didn't we send out layers of soil from three dynasties when we were in the tomb before? I think the direction of our next excavation should not be to focus on the excavated artifacts, but on the search for such soil layers, perhaps, these soils
Layers can show us a clear way. ”
Sun Ming and Liang Bo suddenly glanced at each other as if they had a heart, and then nodded in unison.
"It's really a new idea, and it's a new idea that has a good chance of making a breakthrough."
"I agree, the next step should be to work on this."
Sun Ming looked at Ma Tian and continued: "Ma Tian, you have been running on the site this time in the excavation, have you found any soil layers from other dynasties?" I mean other than the burial chamber we were to before. ”
Ma Tian thought carefully for a while, and finally hesitated and said, "This...... I...... I don't know for sure right now. ”
Ma Tian was quite embarrassed at this time, but he didn't put his mind on this aspect in the previous excavation, but put it on the unearthed cultural relics in the traditional way, so it was impossible to answer Sun Ming's question at this time.
"Then choose this as the direction of the breakthrough."
Ma Tian didn't have this data, and Sun Ming didn't think it was strange, after all, he hadn't worked in this direction before.
"Good! No problem, I'll arrange this tomorrow and see if there's anything to gain. ”
The excavation in front of him has been going on for nearly a year, but there is nothing to be gained except for some rare cultural relics, in this case, Ma Tian also thinks that maybe it is good to change the angle.
At least it's worth trying.
"I also have a suggestion that if you can find such a layer of soil, you should dig deeper, and maybe you can find something, especially something that we want to see."
Fang Ming is not a professional in archaeology, the principles of archaeological excavation and the like will not appear in his mind at all, in his opinion, things are very simple, that is, the deeper you dig, the more likely you are to find something.
"Well, that's another way, stupid, but it makes a lot of sense."
Listening to Fang Ming's proposal, Sima Xiangqin always felt very weird, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense, and people didn't know how to refute it.
"Hee-hee-hee!"
From Sima Xiangqin's tone, Fang Ming could probably guess what she thought.
"Heh, Fang Ming, it seems that you really have a few brushes. Come, I'll toast you. ”
Fang Ming's
Although I don't know if the proposal will work, but with a new direction to try, Sun Ming's mood is naturally much better.
"Hah! Good! ”
Fang Ming was not polite at all, and picked up the wine glass......
"It's really not possible at all, of course, it may be a little too arbitrary to say that, but it's true."
Sima Xiangqin also spoke up at this time.
"It can't be, right?"

Ma Tian's voice became lower and lower, and the tent fell silent again, of course, Fang Ming was the only exception, because he was slowly drinking wine cup after cup, and from time to time "throwing" peanuts or meat on the table into his mouth.
Time passed minute by minute, and even the moon didn't know when it disappeared behind the clouds.
