Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped, squatted down, and used the sword of the sun to dig up the soil on the ground, about 20 centimeters deep, a clay pot appeared, Chen Rui continued to dig, and dug out the clay pot.

It's a very rough clay pot, the clay pot is heavy, and it holds something.

Chen Rui removed the soil from the edge of the mouth of the clay pot and found that inside the clay pot was a jar of coins.

Chen Rui said to the camera, "The discovery of this jar of coins shows that the private ownership of this indigenous tribe has emerged, and the indigenous people need to exchange coins for other people's private goods." ”

Chen Rui poured out all the coins in the clay pot, and a large number of shells were mixed with pottery, copper, and gold imitation shell-shaped currency.

Chen Rui said, "Although the primitive civilization on the surface of the earth and the primitive civilization in the center of the earth have not communicated and contacted, the development of many things is common.

The most primitive way of trading is bartering, but, cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock are indivisible, the grain will rot, there are too few pearls, and many times, the transaction is difficult to carry out.

There was an urgent need for an intermediary of exchange to change this way of trading, and the most primitive and ideal trading currency shell appeared.

The shell is small and exquisite, brightly colored, strong and durable, and can become a kind of ornament loved by the original inhabitants, which has a certain value in itself, and because of the characteristics of the shell in moderate size, easy to carry, easy to count, etc., the shell has become the main currency, and gradually serves as the general equivalent of commodity exchange. ”

With the development of commodity exchange, the demand for money is increasing, and shells can no longer meet people's needs. So they began to imitate shells with pottery and copper. Pottery coins and copper coins appeared. ”

"A large number of shellfish coins were found in this clay pot. Mixed with pottery, copper, and gold imitation shell-shaped currency, it tells us a lot about the indigenous tribes that once lived here.

1. The productivity and society of the indigenous tribes have made great development and progress, the material wealth of the society is relatively rich, and the indigenous tribes or a family of the indigenous tribes have a lot of surplus products that can be exchanged for other urgently needed supplies, which prompts the shortage of shell coins and cannot meet the needs of people's transactions, and people begin to imitate shell coins with pottery, copper and gold. As a supplement to shell coins for trading, pottery coins, copper coins, and gold coins appeared.

2. The currency found in the clay pot, a large number of shell coins, a small number of pottery coins, copper coins, and gold coins, which shows that the development of the currency of the indigenous tribes is in the early stage of the transition from natural currency to 'artificial currency'. It is possible to speculate on the level of productivity of the indigenous tribes, the stage of social development.

3. There are 12 gold coins in a jar of currency, which is more than the number of copper coins, which shows that gold is not an extremely precious metal here, and gold is very easy to mine here, and the reserves are very large

Chen Rui put the currency back into the clay pot and put it into the space of the pregnant sea pearl.

Next, Chen Rui found more things in the ruins, pottery, pottery shards, bronzes, and gold vessels.

Chen Rui picked up a gold pot, pointed the gold pot at the camera lens, and said, "This is a gold vessel, the shape of the vessel is very similar to the jar, with an open mouth, flat edge, square lips, short neck, wide shoulders, round belly, big belly, and small flat bottom.

The gold pot is very large, heavy, the wall of the gold pot is about 1 centimeter thick, I mentioned it, the gold pot is estimated to weigh 6 kilograms, and at least 7 to 8 kilograms of gold were used to make this gold pot, which is a large object.

There is no ornamentation or inscription found on the belly, bottom, mouth edge and inner wall of the gold pot, and the production is relatively rough.

From the point of view of shape, workmanship, and decoration, this gold pot is not enough to become a decorative vessel, it is a living utensil, used to hold water, store things, it is really a luxury thing!! Perhaps, we think that they are very extravagant to use 6-kilogram gold cans to pack things.

However, the indigenous people who once lived here did not see it that way, because gold was very easy to mine and had very large reserves in this land, and it was a very common, easy to mine and smelt metal, and compared to bronze, bronze was an alloy of brass with lead or tin, which was much more valuable than gold.

Therefore, this gold pot, here, is a living utensil that can be used by ordinary indigenous people. ”

Chen Rui put the gold pot into the space of the pregnant sea pearl.

Continue to search for artifacts in the ruins.

Chen Rui used his divine sense to carpet scan the ground, and after searching the ground, he went into the ground to find-

The next few days.

Chen Rui carpet-searched the entire ruins inch by inch.

The ruins are actually not big, they are square, about 2,000 meters from north to south, about 1,400 meters from east to west, and about 3 square kilometers in area.

Chen Rui harvested a very large amount in the ruins, and the number of artifacts was very large.

Mainly gold, gold utensils, pottery, bronze ware, all of which are included in the pregnant sea pearl space.

Chen Rui made a rough inventory of the harvest.

First of all, 946 pieces of pottery, complete, pottery fragments are not counted.

These pottery are clay gray pottery, sand pottery is more, and the shape of the vessel is mainly used as a cooking vessel, as a food vessel, and as a container more, and it is mainly a living utensil.

There are few pieces of pottery with ornamentation, about 40 to 50 pieces, but each piece is fine, and the ornamentation is exquisite, and if you open up a pottery exhibition hall, these fine pottery will definitely make people's eyes shine.

There are 781 pieces of gold utensils, and gold and gold shells are not counted.

Gold utensils are mainly household utensils, and there are also ornaments made of gold.

Compared with the exquisite pottery of fine pottery, it makes people's eyes shine, in addition to the value of gold, the artistic value is 0, the value of cultural relics is very limited, with one word to describe the gold found in the ruins of Chen Rui, stupid and coarse, the purity of gold is very low, yellow () color with blue, yellow (-0-) color with light red, even color blue with white light, the production is also relatively rough, compared with the Inca civilization exquisite gold smelting, purification technology, superb gold production, processing technology, far inferior.

Among the 781 gold artifacts found in the ruins, there were many large ones, and the 6-kilogram gold jar Chen Rui found before could only be regarded as average.

Chen Rui found a golden statue of a giant with a visual height of 12.7 meters and a weight of more than 40 tons in the ruins, which shocked audiences all over the world.

If Chen Rui melts all the gold artifacts found in the ruins, it is estimated that he can melt 4 or 500 tons of gold. (To be continued.) )
