Nine thousand years later

Cultivating the ruins of civilization

A group of archaeologists are carefully cleaning up the soil on the site, hoping to present the site relatively intact in front of everyone and show the glory of their country's ancient civilization.

"Professor, come and see.

There seems to be a layer of soil here, and the difference between layers is still very large, and there will be no more ancient civilization sites under this pottery civilization site.

But this is already the site of an ancient civilization 6,000 years ago! How ancient is it? ”

After Wang Huaiwen accidentally stepped on one side of the soil layer, he was surprised to find that the area he stepped on had obvious soil layer differences, and generally speaking, this soil layer difference would only appear in two different stages, but on the same land life gathering place.

Back then, they had discovered an even more ancient Warring States ruins under the ruins of the Han Palace.

Therefore, Wang Huaiwen hurriedly called him teacher.

Li Zi frowned, turned his head and reprimanded:

"Didn't you be careful? Why are you still so careless, you look at how many things you have collapsed in a day, and you are still shocked.

Where? What are the differences in soil layers? ”

While speaking, Li Zi also found a clear layering of soil in that area.

Immediately, he didn't care about reprimanding the graduate student of archaeology he brought, hurriedly and carefully walked to Wang Huaiwen's side, then pushed him aside, and began to carefully use the tools in his hand to carefully clean up the small dirt area that had just been trampled by Wang Huaiwen, looking for clues.

When the other side was cleaned up, Li Zi even found a piece of broken iron from the dirt layer below that shouldn't have appeared here at all.

When Li Zi found the broken iron piece from the soil layer below, and intuitively felt that the age of this broken iron piece must be extremely old, he knew that there was a big discovery, and quickly took out his mobile phone and quickly contacted other professors.

As soon as the news spread, the professors who had been cleaning up the ruins here quickly rushed over, and after muttering to each other for a while, they called all the hands over and began to dig this area, a piece of broken iron does not represent anything, but if they find other things below that can represent the appearance of civilization, then their harvest and honor this time will be great.

It is designated as an archaeological history.

For the next three hours, the group of them kept exclaiming, constantly digging out new harvests, and when they dug down for a long time and dug up a large number of broken pottery shards and a large number of bricks, they immediately knew that an even more ancient civilization site had been discovered by them.

Soon, someone spread the news to the Central Museum, the Institute of Ancient Cultural Relics and the Ancient Civilization Dating Engineering Unit, and at the same time, some people took the pottery shards and iron fragments harvested this time to a professional appraisal agency for carbon 14 identification.

Because they were willing to spend money, and there were a lot of ceramic fragments, they didn't have to worry about any damage caused by the identification process, even if one or two were broken, so they quickly got accurate chronological data for those things.

"At least eight thousand years?

But this is too outrageous, you have seen the ruins of the pottery civilization, the ruins of that civilization are famous for burning pottery, and the black light pottery unearthed by their civilization is still very famous.

We have not found any iron tools on the site of the pottery civilization, and the bronzes are very rare, but there are iron fragments in the civilizations that are older than their civilization, and there are many bronzes, and you should have seen those ceramic fragments, and there have been porcelain fragments in them.

This is so unconscionable, porcelain obviously appeared many years after the appearance of pottery.

I have a sense of temporal disarray.

This simply subverts our archaeological and historical understanding of porcelain and ironware. ”

After reading the relevant data identified by professional institutions, a group of professors couldn't help but look at each other, and felt that the three views were a little broken.

This data is too subversive of their imagination.

In their usual cognition, the original celadon appeared more than 4,200 years ago, which was the transition stage from pottery to porcelain, and it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, more than 2,000 years ago, that formal porcelain that was definitely considered porcelain began to appear.

However, the porcelain fragments excavated from the soil layer below the site of the pottery civilization have pushed the porcelain culture forward for 4,000 years.

Iron tools are similar.

This undoubtedly made them unbelievable.

However, no matter how unbelievable they were, the specific data was here after all, and after they reported the relevant situation, the national level expressed great concern about it, and sent many additional archaeologists to carry out large-scale excavations of the unnamed civilization under the Taoye civilization.

With the addition of archaeologists from the state, the speed of the excavation work immediately increased several times.

Half a month later, they have moved all the valuable things that need to be preserved in the pottery civilization to other places, established relevant museums, and also carried out a large-scale excavation of the new site named the ancient pottery civilization site, but as more and more things were excavated, everyone was more confused.

They began to doubt all the knowledge of ancient literature and ancient civilizations that they had learned in the past.

Because of everything here.

are not in line with cognition.

As the excavation area became larger and the excavated soil layer became deeper and deeper, they gradually unearthed a large number of large-scale bronzes, which were no worse than the bronzes of the Yin Shang period, and even better than the bronzes of the Yin Shang period.

In addition to this, there are jade, gold, complete ironware, complete craft pottery, and complete craft carvings and sacrificial items.

The most terrifying thing is that they found a large number of sacrificial articles in the place, but also found an extremely glorious ancient city ruins, and the sacrifice area has not yet had any corpse heads and bones, which undoubtedly shows that this more ancient civilization does not seem to have the habit of killing slaves during sacrifices, but it attaches great importance to sacrifices.

It was some time again.

They dug into the text.

It was a special script that was very different from the script they used today, but it was no more complicated than their script today.

Because of some differences in the writing system, even if they found a lot of paleolinguists to come and help, it took several years to barely analyze some of the text images, and analyze a few amazing articles from the excavated batch of metal books.

Ancient Cultivation Civilization Seminar.

"According to our specific analysis of the known writings, there should have been a very strong civilization in ancient times, that is, eight or nine thousand years ago.

That civilization had a very complete metal smelting technology, ceramic firing technology, medical technology and a very complete writing system.

Last time, you didn't give us the last two metal books you found, so after our analysis, one of those two books is a medical book, or it can also be called a witch book, and the other is a relatively alternative ancient civilization history book.

According to our analysis of the content in another history book, their medical book is a copy of a copy, and it is said that the real original content is clear, and each plant has a specific image, which is a great wizard called Wushu who was ordered by the witch god to walk the world and collect all the useful plants in the world to compile a botanical dictionary.

According to the historical records, the civilization here seems to be just a branch civilization of a huge civilization, and in their records, there is a powerful core civilization in the center of the continent, whether it is a witch god or a great wizard, or the Fire Plains Heavenly Emperor, all of them live in the center of the Fire Plains City.

In our legend, the Huoyuan Heavenly Emperor should be one of the simple Five Great Emperors, but according to the information collected so far, the Huoyuan Heavenly Emperor is very likely to be real, and he has ruled the entire continent for many years, and the most critical core is the witch god, the first page of the history book we found, including the first article, is written by the witch god, and the later chapters also involve him many times.

The most terrifying thing is that he exists in every emperor's book, and I don't know if this witch god has never died, or if it is just a title.

But the last article of the history book, there is a very clear record, that is, the witch god lived for a thousand years and ascended to the sky as a god, so far the miracles in the world are extinct, and then a hundred years, the five emperors competed for the throne, and there was chaos.

My ancestor was the great witch of the witch temple, in order to avoid the chaos of the world, he brought the city and the people, and avoided living in the old pottery land.

There is a Tao country.

If the record is correct, then it means that the man called the witch god lived for more than a thousand years, and then died, because he died, or because he did not suppress those emperors, those emperors fought with each other, and the world was in chaos.

The latter is not what I analyzed.

The rest is my speculation.

According to my analysis, if the scale of the war is very large, then it is a very normal thing to produce civilization regression, which everyone should have the impression that there has been more than one civilization regression in history, but the civilization regression at that time was not large, but the degree of civilization regression at that time may be quite large.

Because according to my estimate, at that time, most of the means of civilization and production should be in the hands of those witches, and those witches may not be very strong, coupled with the various turmoil during the war, it is likely to lead to the death of a large number of witches, those wizards should not be omnipotent, it is very likely that a certain group of people only master a certain technology, if a certain group of people accidentally die, then that technology may be lost.

Coupled with the principle of master-apprentice inheritance and confidentiality, it is actually possible that the technology in related aspects will become worse and worse.

By the way, here comes the most crucial part.

After several years of analysis, we have now analyzed the possible location of Huoyuan City, and together we will report the news to the above, and apply to excavate Huoyuan City. ”

As the leader of the ancient language analysis team this time, Qi Delong stood on the podium and was very excited to describe their gains in the past few years, and hoped that everyone present could join them to explore the ancient civilization that should have been very brilliant and terrible in ancient times.

The archaeologists below looked down at each other and talked to each other for a while, and with their own curiosity, they quickly came up with a unified decision to apply for excavation from above.

When the relevant report is passed on.

The official leadership was also shocked.

In addition, they decided that the excavation site was located in the desert and would not cause much damage and impact, so they agreed to their application and sent them a lot of logistics personnel to help them transport various materials and tools to the desert to facilitate their excavation.

With the above official permission, many things were much easier, and the excavation of the site of the fire was soon officially carried out two months later.

And it has been for many, many years.

Geological change is a very wonderful thing, the vicissitudes of the sea are even more common, even if the map more than 8,000 years ago is accurate, after more than 8,000 years, many directions may also have some differences, plus the positioning of the desert is very difficult, which undoubtedly makes their search and excavation work more difficult, at the beginning of the year or two there is no harvest at all, it is completely in the desert blowing the wind and sand, has been so white for more than three years, this is finally found a little sprout, officially excavated the ruins of Huoyuan City.

The excavation process is equally difficult.

Because they first had to dig up the layer of sand above the ruins of Huoyuan City, but don't forget that the place they were in was a desert, and even if they dug up the layer of sand on it, after two days, when the wind blew, a new layer of sand would cover it, and in the end, they had no choice but to plant trees for two years before carrying out the excavation work, and through two years of tree planting, they forcibly surrounded the area they needed to dig into drought-tolerant trees, and then they were finally able to do so at a relatively slow pace.

Dig down slowly.

One dig is ten years.

In the past ten years, there are many archaeologists of the older generation who can no longer hold on, but because of the emergence of various good news, there is still a steady stream of new archaeologists coming.

Ten years later, a huge ruins of an ancient city, barely smaller than the current imperial capital, appeared in front of them, and the ruins of this ancient city far exceeded all the ancient city ruins in the world today, not to mention anything else.

Even more magnificent than the Qin Palace of the Han Palace thousands of years ago, the Witch God Temple in the most central position, after eight or nine thousand years of vicissitudes, still did not collapse, still standing there in a good manner.

With the smooth excavation of the ancient city ruins, a large number of bay leaf books, metal books, slate books, and parchment books that have been processed by special methods have been produced, and more than ninety percent of the country's paleographic experts have gathered here to study the contents of those newly unearthed ancient books.

This is undoubtedly another vast project.

With the continuous emergence of the research conclusions of those paleographers, a glorious ancient era has gradually appeared in front of everyone, they have seen a lot, seen the glorious rise of a primitive civilization under the leadership of a special person, saw the road of civilization expansion, saw the road of expansion from tribes to kingdoms, to empires, and also saw the birth of a generation of witch gods from scratch.

But no matter how they look at it, the witch god who has magical abilities and can also give others magical abilities is always an existence that does not conform to the characteristics of the times and the orthodox view of history.

Her appearance was too abrupt.

Her contribution is also terrible.

Even these ancient literature experts who don't know much about science fiction content, then they have to wonder if the so-called witch god is some alien visitor, whether it is some time and space traveler, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to be so powerful.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they wondered.

Nine thousand years have passed after all.

In the past nine thousand years, the sun and the moon have changed, but what has happened has happened after all, and it is impossible to change at all, and it is impossible for their doubts to change, whether they are willing to admit or doubt it or not, the merits of the witch god cannot be erased.
