Chapter 8: Prehistoric Megacities!

The setting of this book is not that the traditional protagonist travels to ancient times and does not come back, but is similar to the copy under the game, after completing or influencing something, you can travel back to modern times, and in this way, the two ends of modern antiquity wear back and forth, influence each other, and gradually remove the fog of layers of history. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info echoes from beginning to end, the protagonist makes history, and the supporting characters dig into history.

In terms of mode, you can understand it as infinite stream, a special historical infinite stream without a system.

Just like what is written in the introduction, "Verdun rushed through the front, Xianyang was hidden in the picture of Rui, and led the team to ...... after the hot spring pass].

After all, this book can't be written as a memoir of the main character, in that case, it will simply become a tome of history, not to mention that I don't have that kind of academic skills, and I don't think readers want to read that kind of long story.

"Twenty-four heads."

Zhang Yanjiang squatted in front of the head pit and frowned and thought deeply.

In order to protect the human skull, the entire pit that has been dug out is covered with a protective film, a thin layer, like plastic wrap, specially designed to prevent air erosion.

"Professor Zhang, this is our newly dug head pit, do you have any opinions?"

Xiao Li also squatted in front of the pit, holding a stack of paper in his hand.

It appears to be a compilation of the materials excavated from the entire site project.

"There are a lot of ideas, and it's hard to put them into words."

Zhang Yanjiang stared at the human head in the pit seriously.

"There's a lot to say about these heads." Zhang Yanjiang stretched out a finger, "The role of the human head pit is nothing more than showing off martial arts, or sacrificial. The former, which we call Kyokan, is mostly made of high mounds made of the corpses of the enemy's dead in battle, and some of them are human heads. ”

"But this head pit is obviously not Jingguan, we can take a look at the style of these heads."

Zhang Yanjiang gestured with his palm, as if his palm had become an axe.

"It all started from the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and it was all the way down, and it took a lot of force to split the entire face in half. If it is a Jingguan who buries prisoners of war, you don't have to bother with it, just bury it directly. Splitting a human head in half like this must have political and religious connotations in it. ”

"And...... I looked at the twenty-four heads, and saw that their brow bones and cheekbones seemed to be women's skulls. ”

When he said this, Zhang Yanjiang pushed his glasses.

Xiao Li, who was holding the information on the side, nodded: "Yes, these skulls have been identified by us, and they are indeed all female, although there is no pelvic bone found, but these twenty-four heads are all female, and there is nothing wrong." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yanjiang nodded, not happy that his inference was correct.

As an old archaeologist, if he doesn't even have this bit of eyesight, he should go home as soon as possible.

"Women have always been mysterious in ancient societies, they were able to give birth to new life through the combination of yin and yang, passed on the hope of the race, and were also the creators of life, believed to have the power to communicate with the gods. Therefore, it is common to see female sacrifices or female priests in rituals. ”

"The second point is the number of these heads, twenty-four ......" At this point, Zhang Yanjiang suddenly looked at the information in Xiao Li's hand, "I boldly judge that there should be more than this human head pit unearthed in this ruins." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Li looked at Zhang Yanjiang with admiration, "We have dug out four pits so far, and there may be other human head pits that have not been discovered by us, and the on-site personnel are currently working overtime." ”

"And the number of heads in the other pits should also be the same as eight...... No, it should have something to do with the double number, which has religious overtones. ”

"Professor Zhang, how do you know? The other pits we dug out had sixteen, eight, and seven heads! It's basically related to eight, well, because of the illegal digging, we suspect that the pit with seven heads should have buried eight heads before. It's just destroyed by the stolen diggers. ”

Zhang Yanjiang's constricted brows not only did not loosen because of Xiao Li's affirmative answer, but became tighter and tighter.

"Suspicious...... The suspicion is huge. ”

Zhang Yanjiang took off his reading glasses and rubbed the Qingming acupoint.

It's something he often does when he thinks about problems.

"You say."

"This kind of human head sacrifice to the city wall...... No, the custom of chopping off women's heads for sacrifice could not have existed in the Qin and Han dynasties and later societies, with obvious barbaric customs of primitive societies, obviously in the Xia Shang and previous societies. But ......"

"Professor Zhang, do you think this city is the city of the Qin and Han dynasties and beyond?"

Xiao Li grasped the key point in Zhang Yanjiang's discourse - [Qin, Han and later society].

"Yes."

Zhang Yanjiang stood up and looked at the entire ruined ruins from afar.

Although dilapidated, it is vaguely majestic.

"The area of this city is probably several million square meters, and the city wall we are on, there are urn cities, there are horse faces, these are the city defense structures that will not appear until the Han Dynasty, the horse face is slightly earlier, and it should have been in the Warring States Period."

"Well, the area we have excavated so far is ......" Xiao Li's eyes suddenly widened and he took a deep breath, "More than four million square meters!" ”

"Four...... Ten of China's first squares! ”

Zhang Yanjiang's emotions also became excited.

The first square in China can accommodate one million people, its length from north to south is 880 meters, its width from east to west is 500 meters, and the area is 440,000 square meters, while the city ruins in front of you are more than 4 million square meters!

"This kind of area of the city after the Qin and Han dynasties...... This ......" Zhang Yanjiang no longer knew what words to use.

What are the cities and city walls in China that have been handed down from ancient times to the present day?

Many, of course, many, like the famous Xi'an city wall, Yunnan Lijiang, Yancheng...... There are more than 200 large city-type ruins listed in the national cultural relics protection units, and this is not counting the provincial and municipal cultural relics protection units.

However, many of these sites were included in the later urban expansion, such as Xi'an and Yunnan, or only the ruins and underground structures remained, and there are not many cities like Zhang Yanjiang that have not been too badly damaged!

The city is more buried under the wind and sand in the northwest, as long as you continue to excavate, you can dig out the whole city!

This contains unimaginable archaeological value, so it is no wonder that Zhang Yanjiang is so out of shape.

"Professor Zhang, I'm sorry to inform you......" Xiao Li smiled slyly, "This city, after our identification, is dated to more than four thousand years ago, and it is a building in the early Xia Dynasty, even Yao Shunyu, and even earlier. ”

"But this city not only appeared in the urn city of the Han Dynasty two thousand years later, but also the wood recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Building the French Style", in addition to horse noodles and horns! Thousands of years, thousands of years later, all the structures appeared in this city! ”

"So your previous doubts about the barbaric, ancient human sacrifice have been solved, this is an incredible prehistoric giant city! A prehistoric giant city in the Ishigao area!! ”
