Chapter 1013 Giant
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Aren't you curious that the fossils from 400 million years ago can be preserved to the present?" Knowing that sharks have been very good for more than 400 million years, at the top of the predators in the Earth's oceans, it's like comparing the Ford Model T to a modern car, they are clearly recognizable as belonging to the same category, but under the hood, they are very different, and we find the 'Model T' among sharks.
For example, many believe that the arched cartilage on this shark fossil is very different from the arched cartilage found in modern sharks, suggesting that while the shark's appearance has remained largely the same, important changes have undergone over time that have helped make them the perfect predator for the ocean. β
Han Rongxia rolled his eyes and said, "These are all academic things, who among ordinary people wants to study this?" I don't think anyone is interested in this either, right? β
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Whether ordinary people dare to be interested or not, this is a fossil left over from hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is a treasure that is particularly cherished." β
"What else? You also talked about some special fossils, what are those special fossils? Liu Wu asked.
Han Peacock hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing, you'll know when the time comes." β
Seeing Han Peacock like that, Liu Fu said suspiciously: "You won't send someone to rob other people's things, right?" β
Han Peacock's smile immediately froze on her face, and Liu Fu's guess was almost formalized, so she tentatively said, "Giant orangutan? β
"Giant orangutans?" Han Rongxia said strangely.
Of course, it wasn't just Han Rongxia who was strange at this time. Everyone else looked at Han Peacock with strange eyes, because Han Peacock's appearance obviously told everyone that Liu Wu's guess was true.
"Did you really steal someone else's stuff?" Liu Huiyu said in disbelief.
Han Peacock said curtly: "Don't use this ugly word, I bought such a body through some means." β
"A fossilized skeleton of a gorilla? However, there are many places where gorillas are found, right? There's no need to play tricks to rob it, right? Qin Mingyue said.
Liu Fu and Zhou Meiren glanced at each other, the two of them knew Han Peacock's black-bellied methods better than Qin Mingyue, so they were also more worried.
As Han Peacock's strength expanded, they were afraid that Han Peacock would lose himself. Become unscrupulous.
That's it. It is likely that a tragedy will occur, so Liu Wu will specially remind Han Peacock not to lose the bottom line of being a man when his family is there.
Han Peacock said: "You are very right. Gorillas are everywhere. Do I need to rob someone else? β
Liu Fu opened his mouth and said, "What can be taken by Mr. Han Peacock." It's certainly not ordinary, and the other day, I heard about the discovery of giant ancient orangutan fossils in Indonesia. Height can be up to 3 meters. β
"Three meters?" Hearing what Liu Wu said, everyone in the audience was surprised.
"The giant chimpanzee in the Hollywood movie "King Kong" appeared in Indonesia in ancient times, and the Indonesian archaeological team found ancient giant ape fossils in Central Java, which is estimated to be 3 meters tall, which is the first time that an extinct ancient giant ape has been found in Indonesia. β
"Is there really that big an orangutan? It can't be a lie, right? Chen Qing spoke out in support of Han Peacock.
Liu Fu said: "There must be news about this on the Internet now, just check it out." β
Zhou Meiren also spoke: "Han Peacock will not do useless work. β
Han Peacock said: "I bought it from their official, even if someone breaks the law, it is also a person from their country who breaks the law, I didn't steal or rob." β
"You have tempted others to sin." Liu Fu glanced at Han Peacock and said.
At this time, Chen Xiaozhu and Han Rongxia, who were holding their mobile phones, all exclaimed, and Chen Rui said, "What's wrong?" Is there really any news about this? β
Chen Xiaozhu said: "Sister-in-law, look, according to reports, Si Siwangto, director of the Yogyakarta Archaeological Center in Indonesia, said that local residents of Nakashimando, Central Java, recently found the lower jaw fossils of giant apes.
At first, it was thought to be human fossils, but when researchers analyzed the size of the two large molars, the archaeological center concluded that the fossils were not humans, but belonged to some kind of giant ape.
The molars are 2 centimeters wide and the lower jaw of the fossils is 10 centimeters long, and according to the results of morphology, these fossils belong to the extinct 'Bu great ape', which paleontologists speculate is more than 3 meters tall and weighs 550 kilograms, and they became extinct 100,000 years ago. β
Han Rongxia also found relevant news at this time, so she also rushed to say: "You see, their international archaeological team called the giant ape fossil found 'Java King Kong' and stored it in the museum in Solo City, so the eldest brother didn't buy it from here, right?" β
Everyone looked at Han Peacock, and Han Peacock said innocently: "How do I know where I bought it?" I just expressed my interest in the skeleton of this giant orangutan, and the people in their country began to help us, and we contacted the buyer with the ultimate, and in this way we bought a fossilized skeleton of a giant orangutan. β
"You're talking about a fossilized skeleton, not a tooth or jaw?" Liu Wu quickly heard the meaning of Han Peacock's words.
Han Peacock looked at Liu Wu with resentment: "What will my daughter do in the future?" Her mother is so smart, don't inherit this cleverness, you know, smart girls are not easy to marry. β
Liu Fu glanced at Han Peacock and said, "I'm so smart, didn't I get married too?" β
"That's me smart enough, what if our daughter can't find a man as smart as me?" Han Peacock said.
Zhou Meidao: "Don't change the topic, Java King Kong is a big discovery, this is the first time that this giant ape has been found in Indonesia, this Java King Kong inhabited the island of Java about 200,000 years ago, and later became extinct due to climate change.
Therefore, Indonesia not only has this kind of great ape fossil on the island of Java, but also in Sumatra and Kalimantan. β
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Am I too idle?" So you don't have to worry, I can get a complete Javanese diamond fossil, I am already very satisfied, other aspects are time-consuming and laborious, I will not delay time in this regard, if there is this time, I might as well send someone to dig up the giant bone fossil! β
"Giant skeleton fossils? Big brother, you won't sue me, your museum, and giant skeleton fossils, right? Han Ronghua said in a rare voice.
"What's impossible about that? Big brother should have. Zhou Zhiqian responded to Han Ronghua.
Han Rongxia hesitated for a moment and said, "Aren't giants the legendary human race?" Not in reality, right? β
"yes, that's too mysterious, if there's a giant, then there's a dwarf too? Are there still elves? Chen Xiaozhu said.
This time it was Liu Wu's turn to hesitate, and seeing her appearance, Han Rongxia shouted: "Sister-in-law, you won't sue me, there are really elves, right?" β
Liu Wu no longer hesitated, she said: "I don't know if there are elves, but dwarves and giants do exist." β
"Ahh Everyone screamed in surprise.
Han Peacock said at this time: "It's true, dwarves are generally in the mountains of North and South America, and giants, Ah San has them. β
"Really? So, the eldest brother's giant bone fossil was obtained from Ah San? Han Rongxia said.
In ancient Greek mythology, there is a legend about the Titans, the so-called Titans, which is the giant god of the Taisi god Kronos, and later Kronos betrayed the gods of Olympus, and the Titans were also thrown into hell by the gods of Olympus.
Fearing the wrath of Zeus, the Almighty God, they soon hid in the frontiers far from the populated world. In addition, in the "History of Persian Wars" written by Herodotus in 400 BC, it is also recorded that a complete human skeleton with a length of about 2.5 meters was found.
It can be said that legends about giants have not only appeared in Greek mythology, but also many peoples around the world have created legends about giants.
In the famous Greek epic "Odyssey", the Greek hero Odysseus is also written about the plot of encountering a cyclops on an island.
In addition, Jack's Pea and the Giant in Grimm's fairy tales, all the way to Gulliver's Travels "Adult Country", many stories describe giants like life.
However, with the study of modern anthropology, these legends did not fade until the 18th century, when the myths associated with giants gradually faded.
But the news that the remains of giants have been discovered in various parts of the world makes people rethink whether "legends" are just legends.
In the first half of 2005, when the famous Russian archaeologists Ernst and Murdashev led an archaeological team to West Asia and North Africa to investigate, they found the legendary tomb of the ancient giant in Syria.
According to the Russian newspaper Pravda, earlier this year, Murdashev led an archaeological team to discover two giant tombs in a village on the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, one of which was at the foot of the mountain, and there were fragments of tombstones scattered nearby, which were almost 1.8 meters high.
The other is on the top of the hill 20 kilometers away, and it is measured that the tomb below should be rectangular, about 10 meters long, and according to the locals, this is the tomb of an ancient giant with a height of 7.5 meters. Long ago, this giant came to Syria from Yemen and ended up being killed.
Regrettably, both tombs were damaged by different Cheng dΓΉ, and the tomb on the top of the hill was "patronized" by tomb thieves two years ago, and the destruction of Cheng dΓΉ was very strict.
According to the records of giants in the legends of various countries, there was indeed such a group on the earth, and there are traces of them in Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Central Asia, East Asia, North Africa and the entire Americas, which proves that they have a wide range of activities.
