A landslide on a mountain five kilometers from the county seat has revealed a carved stone wall. After some archaeological research, it was found that the age of these carvings may be 10,000 years old.

This caused quite a stir in the small town, and many people went to watch, but they were all blocked from the ruins by archaeologists.

There were acquaintances in the archaeological team, and the forest traces who were idle at home mixed in under the pretext of visiting acquaintances, and finally took a look at the bottom of the rock wall.

The 20-meter-high and nearly 50-meter-wide stone wall has some indentations and lines, but it is still stained with mud and traces of peeling, so the rock wall looks more abstract than the so-called abstract paintings. But the thought that this was carved by primitive people with primitive tools can't help but give people a sense of grandeur and amazement.

"This is what it was supposed to be, but then there was a landslide above and it was buried. Now, it's because the mud has landslided again that it's been exposed. It can be described as the reincarnation of heaven. While talking about the situation, the acquaintance turned on the computer and showed some of the restored pictures to Lin Ji.

The finished patterns resemble children's graffiti, with exaggerated lines and disproportions. There are strange-looking animals with round bodies, plants full of fruits and no leaves, vast mountains and rivers, people on fires, people sitting on the top of mountains, and even a man-like figure bending over a woman with exaggerated feminine features.

Lin Ji pointed to the exaggerated pattern of female features and asked, "They also play with this?" ”

The acquaintance laughed and said: "It's not what you think, this should be a manifestation of fertility worship or maternal worship." At that time, it was a matrilineal clan society, and social relations in the tribe were forged through the relationship between mother and daughter. The women who can give birth to more children will definitely have a higher status. So it's not for nothing that femininity has almost become a status symbol – career line. Because during this period, women were of high status, and there was no kneeling at that time, so these men showed submission or respect by bending down and lowering their eyes. That's what this diagram means. ”

Lin Ji scratched his head and said, "What kind of culture is this?" Is Hemudu or Yangshao culture? Is it the same as our three emperors and five emperors? ”

These things are still known by Lin Ji for fear of being laughed at and ignorant, so he checked the information before going out. Although he was reprimanded at the beginning.

The acquaintance smiled: "In terms of age, it should have nothing to do with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors." It is also older than the Hemudu and Yangshao cultures. And this is not within the regional scope of the two cultures, and it should have nothing to do with them. For the time being, it is speculated that this may belong to the more ancient Pengtoushan culture or Peiligang culture, of course, the age still needs to be verified, but the regional scope is not much different. ”

Lin Ji didn't seem to understand, so he had to continue to ask: "With such a large stone wall, does it mean that at that time, it was the same as the Mayan civilization, and we already had a clever stone culture?" ”

Acquaintance: "It's harder to say. Available evidence suggests that the Quaternary glaciation began to melt 18,000 years ago. The reduction in the size of the ice sheet allowed us to get out of the ice sheet and start planting and domesticating in local areas. But until 11,000 years ago, the weather during this time was very repetitive, so we should not have made any major developments. The period from 11,000 years ago to 8,000 years ago is considered to be the time when the Quaternary glaciation completely melted. During this period, although the temperature fluctuated slightly, it began to rise overall. People began to expand the area of cultivation and domestication on a larger scale. There is now some evidence that people settled first and then began to develop agriculture and animal husbandry. This rock wall may be something like a totem mural, which allowed people to gather and settle around, but it is not enough to show what the cultural level was at that time, but it can only be said that the social organization at that time may have been grander than we originally thought...... Of course, there are also a few people who speculate that the cultural development at that time actually reached a certain height, but it was destroyed by the unstable weather. After all, the evidence now suggests that the weather really became warmer, and the ice age disappeared completely, not until 8,000 years ago, between those 3,000 years. ”

The acquaintance looked at the rock wall and continued: "At that time, there may not have been a prosperous culture, but it should have been the era of the fastest development and the most intense collision of prehistoric humans. There is a lot of evidence that many large prehistoric animals also became extinct during this period. Like the Yellow River elephant we are familiar with, the woolly rhinoceros, the saber-toothed tiger and so on. Do you think about how magnificent it must have been that people had to learn to grow and domesticate while fighting against such large beasts, and at the same time they had to face fierce conflicts brought about by the increase in population due to the warming weather...... It must be interesting to really want to travel back in time and space. ”

"Hahaha, I want this too, just in time to eat the last wave of prehistoric animals...... It would be even more perfect with a hot pot tent. Lin Ji also said happily on the side.

"You're greedy, why don't you bring your home?"

"It's better to bring me the county seat under the mountain, everything is ready...... Hahaha, maybe I can go back and be a hegemon or something......"

While he was talking, there was a sudden vibration under his feet.

Lin Ji glanced at a valley at the bottom of the mountain and said, "It's okay, there's a shooting range over there, I heard that a few armored vehicles have come here in the past two days, and it is estimated that they are testing their guns." ”

He grew up in this place and is quite familiar with the county. Knowing that there are troops at that range from time to time to practice. Of course, that range was a place he wanted to go in but couldn't.

"It's not a gunshot, it's an earthquake landslide, run!" The acquaintance shouted in panic, picked up the computer and ran as fast as he could.

Lin Ji looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the ground was sinking under his feet. When I raised my eyes, I found that the cliffs next to me were getting higher and higher, and the surrounding counties, including the county town below the mountain, were sinking in the billowing smoke and dust.

"I'll ......"
