Chapter 49 Secrets
Zhao Tingyan carefully took over the pillar made of unknown materials, well, it's a pillar!
This is Tocharian, an independent language in the Proto-Indo-European language family, fragments of which were found in Xinjiang, China at the beginning of this century, and later explained that this language has two dialects, Eastern and West, known as Tocharian A (Yanqi) and Tocharian B (Qiuzi). The letters used are italics of the Brahmi alphabet from India in Central Asia, the time may be between the 6th ~ 8th centuries, and the Tocharian A language is used on your column! ”
After just observing for a while, Zhao Tingyan immediately determined the approximate content of this language, which was very relaxed, and there was no need for all kinds of scrutiny like in the TV series.
"Do you know what the words mean by that?"
Zhao Tingyan took out a magnifying glass that he wore with him: "Although most of this language has been deciphered now, but this text will be used in different regions, and the meaning will be very different, just look at this sentence, the matter of the ancient demon Turamoska is to restrain the color, if this sentence is the Kingdom of Qiuzi, it means that at the end of the mountain, there is a god with boundless power, and if it is in Loulan, the meaning of this sentence is, Almighty God King, I am willing to dedicate everything we have to you!" ”
Lin Qing listened to Zhao Tingyan's words that he didn't understand, his head was a little dizzy, he didn't expect that there would be multiple interpretations of a sentence, this is not scientific at all!
"Is this science? The meaning of the same sentence is completely different! ”
"This is very scientific, this Tocharian language, which is also a language that has been widely spread in ancient times, has been unearthed in France, Germany, and Russia, and there are many differences between different regions and languages. The meaning will be very different! ”
Lin Qing nodded slowly. Although he didn't know how to feel it, he felt very powerful: "Professor Zhao, if you crack it, how long will it take?" ”
Pushing his glasses, Zhao Tingyan thought about it: "This time is a bit difficult to determine, if it is fast, it will take an hour or two, if it is slow, it will be possible in a year or two, it depends on whether there are new words on this pillar, if they are all known words, I will be able to translate them soon!" ”
"There's no need to rush too much. I've been staying in Beijing for the past few days, so if you have time, you can go back to the hotel with me to translate, of course, if you need an assistant to bring it, I'll arrange it for you! ”
"I'm not in a hurry for this, I'll try to see if I can translate it, the number of words on it is not much, about two hundred words! Soon! ”
After Zhao Tingyan finished speaking, he slowly took out a booklet from his pocket and took it aside. Find a random place and start translating slowly.
"Mr. Lin, don't mind, he's like this!"
"It's okay, I haven't had anything to do lately anyway!" Lin Qing smiled. He only took out the pillar, and there was one thing he didn't take, which was the portrait of a human skin, and there was a man in the portrait holding the pillar in his hand. And there are all kinds of treasures piled up around!
"Well, no, that's not the way the country of Guizi is recorded. It's not the way Loulan is recorded! ”
Zhao Tingyan sat down for less than five minutes, his brows furrowed, and his expression was a little solemn!
"What's wrong, Professor Zhao!"
Zhao Tingyan shook his head, ignored Lin Qing, and said to himself: "No, the Qiuci people will add the worship of animals to anything they record, even if it is their king's warrant, these things will be added, but I translated a paragraph, which is not at all the way the Shiqici people should write, it should not be the Qiuci people, but this is not the way the Loulan people write, the Loulan people record the same as in ancient China, they are used to going from right to left, and it will be from top to bottom!" ”
"If neither of these places are there, then who is left here?"
Zhao Tingyan fell into deep thought, there are traces of cultural relics of any era or country, but this pillar is completely inconsistent with the language of these two countries!
"Could it be Indians? Ancient Indians? The ancient Indians worshipped Shiva, you see this pillar is very similar to a yang (Gu) If I guess correctly, it should be Shiva's utensils, so it explains why there is a Tocharian language recorded on Yang (Gu)! Lin Qing inadvertently reminded on the side.
After Zhao Tingyan heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, why can't it be India?" If it's India, then I can understand this passage, which is the meaning of the Travanko Kingdom, and this should be the Padmanaba Swami Temple, this kingdom is the ancient kingdom of India, located in the southwestern part of India, but why don't they use Indian writing? Instead, in Tocharian? Moreover, the Tocharian language is popular, hundreds of years after the establishment of the kingdom of Travanco! ”
Zhao Tingyan shouted excitedly, if this discovery is true, then it can be speculated that in ancient times, India also used Tocharian language, this discovery is the first time, if it is confirmed, he Zhao Tingyan will also leave a mark in history.
Lin Qing was not as excited as Zhao Tingyan, his whole person was already stunned, when he knew about the Travanco Kingdom and the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, his mind was like a spring thunder exploding, and a lightning bolt swept through the dark night!
Travanco Kingdom, no one among the ten Chinese in this country can know, Lin Qing first heard this name when the tour guide of the Dutch Museum told Lin Qing that Lin Qing did not care too much at that time, after all, there are too many ancient countries that have appeared in history and died out, but the name of Padmanaba Swami Temple awakened the memory in the depths of Lin Qing's mind.
Lin Qing's hands had already begun to tremble, yes, they began to tremble, and the whole person began to tremble: "Bangs, come in and help me, Professor Zhao, Professor Li, let's see you next time, I have some important things that need to be dealt with back, this is a million check, please contact me when you have finished translating, this is my business card!" ”
Lin Qing's whole person began to tremble, his movements did not fluctuate much, but the frequency was very high, after the bodyguard Liu Hai walked into the house, he was startled, and hurriedly supported Lin Qing: "Boss, are you okay?" Do you want me to take you to the hospital? ”
"Mr. Lin, there is a hospital in our school, do you want me to send you over to have a look, I don't think your condition is very good!"
"No need, two professors, you are busy first, I'll go back first, I'll be fine, I'll be fine soon!"
