Chen Rui threw the last fish meatball into the water, causing a group of small speartail fish to peck at him, and said, "The ancient city was built between 11,000 ~ 12,000 years ago, and it is one. ”
"Wait, you said that the ancient city was built between 11000~12000, are you sure?" Zhao Zhongtian interrupted Chen Rui's words.
The experts and scholars next to him also looked at Chen Rui with suspicion.
You know, 11,000 ~ 12,000 years ago, most of the world's human beings were still in the late Paleolithic or the transition stage between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic, and the development was a little faster, for example, West Asia, North Africa, and Europe had just entered the Neolithic Age, and the most advanced production tools of human beings at that time were only some simple polished stone tools, wooden sticks, bows and arrows, etc.
The use of polished stone tools and wooden sticks to build a large-scale ancient city is simply a fantasy.
Secondly, the items unloaded from the transport ship included many gold, silver and other metal ornaments, bronzes, and fine pottery, which is even more improbable.
You must know that the earliest human beings entered the Bronze Age in the Lianghe Valley and Egypt, which began in 3000 BC, that is, 5000 years ago, and the bronze casting technology developed from the early stage to the mature stage when bronze was widely used by humans, which was much later than more than 5000 years ago.
The smelting of metals such as gold and silver began much later than the advent of bronze casting.
Therefore, a large number of bronzes, gold, silver and other metals, exquisite pottery were found, and the ancient city with a grand scale was built in 11,000 ~ 12,000 years ago, which is simply impossible in the cognition of experts and scholars.
Therefore, they all expressed doubts and disbelief in Chen Rui's words.
Chen Rui smiled and said with great certainty, "I'm pretty sure that the ancient city was built 11,000~12,000 years ago, and the builder was an ancient civilization that had disappeared for a long time, and this civilization may not have any written records at all. ”
The experts and scholars looked at Chen Rui with a positive look, not like they were joking with everyone, and there are so many archaeological experts here, whether the ancient city was built 11000~12000 years ago, run over and take a look at it, there is no need to deceive people about this.
From these two points, it doesn't seem like a lie.
But to say that the ancient city was built in 11000~12000 years, it is difficult to make experts and scholars believe it.
Everyone was skeptical in their hearts.
Li Hua opened his mouth and said to Chen Rui, "Chen Rui, can you take us to have a look?" ”
Whether it's true or not, you'll find out for yourself.
The place where the building materials dismantled from the ancient city of Acre were stacked was tightly guarded by dozens of guards and no one was allowed to approach without Chen Rui's permission.
"Okay." Chen Rui nodded.
Chen Rui led the experts to the place where the demolished building materials of the ancient city of Acre were stacked.
Soon, most of the people on the island who heard the news came to see the excitement.
The group came to the open space where the materials were stacked.
The first thing you see is the huge rock that was torn down from the walls of the ancient city of Acre.
The rock has been eroded by years and wind and rain, and the surface is mottled and pitted, full of vicissitudes.
It's certain that there is a certain age.
At least after hundreds of years of wind and rain and the erosion of the surrounding environment, the surface of the rock will have a mottled and potholed surface, the vicissitudes of time.
The rock cutting surface is very flat, which cannot be done with the simple grinding stone tools and wooden sticks of the Stone Age humans.
Moreover, building a city is not simply a matter of having stones, but also a few tons of rocks to be carried on top of the city wall more than ten meters high, and it is impossible to do it even if there are many people without pulleys and translation tools.
This in turn involves a lot of more complex tools, and experts are very certain that Stone Age humans could not make such tools.
It was revealed that the city wall of the building was a huge rock, and it was very neatly cut, and it was impossible to do this with simple polished stone tools and wooden sticks, let alone build a city, and it was curious how such a large stone could be sent to a height of ten meters.
Many experts and scholars have expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Even outsiders such as biologists, workers, and tourists who live on the island know that it is impossible to do this with polished stone tools and wooden sticks from the Stone Age.
The ancient city that Chen Rui said was built 11,000~12,000 years ago, which is very unreliable.
"You see, these bronze objects, as far as I know, the earliest bronze artifacts appeared in human beings were 3,000 years ago, that is, more than 5,000 years ago, and the bronzes at that time were very simple, coarse, and mostly used for weapons. These bronze vessels were cast with great delicacy and beauty, and were already commonly used in people's daily utensils, at this time it was already the mature stage of the Bronze Age, which was at least after 2000 BC.
There are also these pottery, pottery first appeared in 8000 ~ 7000 BC, the earliest pottery can be called earthenware, the fire is very low, thick tires, mixed with grass in the tires, very rough.
Look at these pottery, the main characteristics of these pottery are polishing technology, elegant decoration, beautiful geometric patterns and brilliant colors, pottery making technology and ornamentation style has developed to the peak, our ancestors at least until 2000 ~ 3000 BC to make such exquisite pottery.
Finally, there are these gold, silver and other metals, our ancestors could not smelt until 2000 BC, let alone decorate and process gold, silver and other metals. An archaeological expert said.
Although it is not directly said that it is impossible for humans in the Stone Age to do this 11,000~12,000 years ago, he told everyone that bronze casting developed to a mature stage and was widely used as a tool for people's lives after 2000 BC, and the development of pottery technology reached its peak, which could add elegant decorations, beautiful geometric patterns and gorgeous colors to pottery, which was after 2000~3000 BC.
The smelting of gold, silver and other metals was not smelted by our ancestors in 2000 BC.
This archaeological expert directly used the archaeological common sense that many people know to infer that Chen Rui's statement that the ancient city was built in 11000~12000 is not true-
