At this time, Wei Changqing, who reacted the fastest, almost jumped up: "So, this ancient tomb should have been discovered yet?" ”

"I'm afraid you're thinking too much about this, I think, before us, someone must have found out first." After speaking, Han Peacock looked in the direction of Dragon City, Zhang Mei and they didn't know how long they had been here, if they hadn't found this ancient tomb, he would definitely not believe it.

"Maybe the sand dunes above this ancient tomb have just been blown away by a strong wind, so this ancient tomb has just been exposed." Qianming is far away.

"It's almost impossible, if this is a forbidden area, Zhang Mei and they will definitely not camp here, since it is not a forbidden area, such a large ancient tomb will definitely not be preserved too well." Qianming is far away.

Han Peacock also knows this, the Sun Tomb is about 3,800 years old, composed of multiple layers of poplar stakes wedged into the sand, the overall layout is like a radiant sun, its discovery once shocked the world.

Such a big discovery will naturally not be unnoticeable, and since it is eye-catching, it is impossible for the pervasive tomb robbers not to patronize, so destruction is inevitable.

At this time, the sky is getting dark, a bright moon rises from the mountains north of the Gobi, this scenery has not changed for thousands of years, the bright moon still shines, but the magnificent sun tomb has been completely destroyed, and there is no more glory in the past!

This cemetery is located on a small sand dune on the second platform on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Peacock River, only a few miles away from the Peacock River, about 70 kilometers east of the north bank of Luo and Bu Nur, with an area of about 1,600 square meters.

"This must be the public cemetery of the Lop people, the indigenous people of the Luo and Bush Nur areas, about 3,800 years ago." Qian Mingyuan confirmed.

"Rob people? If there really are Lobu people here, then some of the legends are more interesting. Han Peacock seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on his face, he was still more interested in the legendary sand people here, but he didn't know. Shamin has nothing to do with the Rob people?

"The Rob people are indigenous here?" Wei Changqing asked.

Qian Mingyuan said: "The Luo Bu people are officially classified as a branch of the Uyghur and Uyghur ethnic groups, living in the Luo and Bu Nur areas, and they speak the Uyghur and Err Luo Bu dialects, and the indigenous people who make a living from fishing are called 'Luo Bu people'. ”

Gu Tong sighed: "For thousands of years, the Luobu people have been isolated from the world, and now, there are only a few 'last Luobu people' left in the desert. ”

"So what legend do they have?" Wei Changqing was even more curious about this.

"They have a lot of legends. However, the most famous is the castle they founded, a square building made of reeds and poplar wood, about 2 meters high, 6 meters long and wide, with a door facing south, and a small wall on the west side, which is said to have holy relics buried under the ground. "Qianming is far away.

"Holy relics!" Huang Shan glanced at Han Peacock.

Han Peacock ignored Huang Shan, but changed the topic and said, "I don't know how many Luobu people are left now?" ”

Gu Tongdao: "There shouldn't be much, even if there are some now." Whether or not their descendants know themselves to be Lobu is a question. ”

"This is no problem, they fish and hunt by the sea in the desert, grow crops, maintain primitive customs, their life is full of mystery, legend has it that the Luo Bu people live by the water, and live among the sea in the Luo and Bu Nur areas for generations, and their way of life is peculiar. And have their own dialects, so they have their own history. I don't think I'll forget it. "Qianming is far away.

Han Peacock nodded and said: "The "Chronicles of the Return to Xinjiang" contains that 'the Luobu people do not grow grains or herd livestock, but only fish in small boats for food, or pick wild hemp, or catch hash birds and skin them for clothing, or use otter skins and hash bird feathers to sell to the city. Easy cloth to substitute clothing. ’

There were not many Luobu people in the first place, and the war-torn migration and the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Little Luobu Naoer in 1852 caused a huge disaster to the Luobu people, and the Luobu people scattered and fled, so the remaining number is definitely not much. But there are definitely. ”

"Therefore, no matter which ethnic group, as long as it declines, the end will be very miserable, and now the Luobu people can't even keep the graves of their ancestors." Qian Mingyuan sighed.

"Now the thieves are openly and secretly, even if the Rob people are still living here, they can't keep it." Han Peacock said.

The earliest Lobu burial grounds were discovered in the winter of 1979, and the Sun Tomb is one of the two types of Lobu tombs, which is also the most shocking and mysterious in the world.

But now, the Sun Tomb has long been destroyed, and this cemetery has also been stolen and destroyed to the devastation, the wooden stakes of the Sun Tomb are messily scattered on the surface, and the wooden stakes are engraved with words, but it is not confirmed whether they were carved by the ancients.

The wooden stakes of the stolen and dug tombs were thrown everywhere, and these sun tombs were stolen and dug up horribly.

After a long circle, Han Peacock and the others found a tomb that was currently the most complete and relatively similar to the sun.

The real Sun Tomb presented in front of them is very different from the pictures that Han Peacock has seen before, and it can be said that the theft and excavation and all kinds of man-made destruction are extremely strict!

This one is the largest tomb, with seven rings of wooden piles, of which only half of them remain, some of which have been pulled out and poured there.

In addition to this one, there are two tombs that can be roughly identified as the Sun Tomb, and the others are completely invisible, which is very distressing!

However, through Guò's analysis, Han Peacock was still able to judge that there were six sun tombs here at that time, which coincided with the situation when the sun tomb was first discovered.

According to the records at that time (when it was first discovered), the surface of the Sun Tomb has an elliptical circle surrounded by 7 layers of poplar stakes, the wooden stakes are thick and orderly from the inside to the outside, the diameter of the innermost layer of wooden stakes is only two or three centimeters, and the outermost layer is more than ten centimeters thick.

Outside the 7-layer wooden pile, there are standing trees that radiate to all sides, and the diameter of the standing trees can reach more than 30 centimeters at the thickest, and the whole tomb is like a radiant sun.

There are 6 tombs of this kind of sun, which are arranged like altars in the cemetery, and they are in an orderly manner.

Therefore, there were six sun tombs that were first discovered, and there should be six here.

In front of the largest, and best-preserved, standing timber and stakes are erected deep in the sand, and the part exposed to the surface is eroded by the strong wind, and a small tip slanting to the southwest remains, indicating that the northeast wind prevails here.

And now, there is no sun at all here, which is why Qian Mingyuan did not immediately recognize that this is the Sun Tomb.

"Do you think it's possible that Zhang Mei and they destroyed it here?" Seeing the only ancient tomb that had not been completely excavated, Qian Mingyuan asked.

Wei Changqing said: "It's really hard to say. ”

"No matter who dug it, since it has been destroyed, we will also dig up this ancient tomb and take a look." Han Peacock decided.

Huang Shan said: "We camp here tonight?" ”

Han Peacock said: "Well, you prepare a tent, and I will clean up this ancient tomb." ”

Although this ancient tomb was very badly damaged, Han Peacock could still sense that the coffin under the ground was not completely destroyed, and there were still some things left underneath.

When Huangshan and the others went to set up a tent, Han Peacock made a sand off-road vehicle, turned on the headlights, and illuminated the surroundings.

Most of the tomb has been dug up, and it is buried with sand, so it is easy to excavate.

Han Peacock and Wei Changqing are both strong laborers, and they use sapper shovels, which are still easy to dig.

Since they had been visited by people for a long time, they quickly cleaned up the surrounding sand and gravel along the cave.

Looking at the coffin that was opened, Wei Changqing kept sighing, and Han Peacock was also very distressed.

After the surrounding sand and gravel were completely cleaned up, Qian Mingyuan and others also surrounded them.

At this time, the situation of the entire ancient tomb was completely clear.

The owner of the tomb was buried in the center of the sun on a seven-story annular wooden pile, and the wooden coffin had long since decayed, leaving only a general outline, and even now this outline has been overturned by people.

However, the skeleton of the owner of the tomb was not destroyed in the end, and remained in the encirclement of the coffin.

From the analysis of the length of the skeleton, the owner of the tomb is male, which is the same as what Han Peacock knows, in such sun tombs, the burials are often male, which has long been confirmed in other sun tombs.

Perhaps due to the patronage of tomb robbers, there are few burial relics, mainly some wood carved figures, toothed objects, bone awls, bone beads, etc.

Looking at these things, Qian Mingyuan said: "This sun tomb does reveal incomprehensible information. ”

"Yes! The burial stakes here can fix the sand and strengthen the mounds, but the shape and pattern adopted are intriguing, could this be 'sun worship'? If so, why did the tomb owners face west instead of east with their legs upright?

And coincidentally, in the same historical period, sun worship is also a feature of Egyptian culture or Hebrew culture, if the sun is a celestial phenomenon perceived by people all over the world, and human beings spontaneously carry out sun worship, then is the time consistency too coincidental? Wei Changqing asked.

Han Peacock smiled: "This has long been suspected, and some people think that there is some kind of connection between the ancient Asian and African continents that is not known to modern people, and some people speculate that the birthplace of human beings is the African continent, if this is the case, these are all explained." ”

In fact, there are still many doubts, such as the number of sun tombs, if it is sun worship, if it is some kind of religious consciousness, the same worship in the same area in ancient times should be deep-rooted, but the so-called "sun tombs" are found every time, only 6 are found, so far, out of this vicinity, the same form of tombs has not been found in other areas.

Also, why are all men buried in the center that resembles the sun?

Where are their women buried?

It's a lot of fog!

Han Peacock counted a little, and to build such a sun tomb, more than 600 large and small poplar timbers were used.

The ancients may not have realized that such a large-scale felling of the surrounding forests may be destroying the foundation of their own existence. (To be continued......)
