Chapter 0723 - Divine Card

Bai Wushu and a few of them are also curious, so they have a good time to take a look, but he knows that he knows that if he wants to play Gu, a hundred of them are not as good as him, and if you want to identify these ancient objects, a hundred of them are not as good as me, so as soon as I opened my mouth, Bai Wushu immediately brought it to me and said let me see the doorway of this thing.

This is the first time I have carefully observed this bone, it is quite heavy to start, at least more than two catties, covered with a layer of fine and dense black substance, like oil, and the state of condensation is similar to the mutton fat that has settled at the bottom of the bowl after we have eaten it.

Can bones, which have been placed in a humid environment for more than 2,000 years, still have this weight?

Under normal circumstances, all the calcium in it has passed, and if no one touches it, it may still be able to maintain its shape, but as long as the external force moves, it will immediately become a layer of bone residue, and even, even if it becomes a fine and dense bone meal, it is not surprising!!

Just look at the bones of those people outside, and when we come, we will step on one by one!

This bone, judging by its shape, should be a cow bone, a cow's skull!

It seems that it should be a religious object.

In many religious traditions, the bull is a relatively sacred thing, including in the myths and legends of the West, there are still many legends about the bull, especially the skull of the bull, which is often made into some bony gadgets and used in some religious ceremonies.

This bull skull can be preserved so well, from my point of view, it should be inseparable from the black stuff on the outside!

Could it be...... Sealing wax?

Sealing wax is an extremely rare special process, the purpose of which is to seal and preserve something.

It is impossible to verify the age of such a process, but there is an amazing coincidence that there have been sealing waxes all over the world, like ...... This technology has been widely spread all over the world thousands of years ago, and the degree of transmission is probably no less than the papermaking technology in our country!

This has always been a mystery in the archaeological community, I don't know who wrote the sealing wax, let alone how it was inherited, but it was once all over the world, and most importantly, this sealing technology is very high, and the sealing thing is preserved to a ...... Not even today's technology can do it!

A Western archaeologist once had the privilege of witnessing a wax-sealed jar mapped in North Africa, and he praised it as a thing that defeated the god of time!

It's a pity that this technology has been lost so far, or rather, it has been lost in the era of my ancestors during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, I do know the main material for making the sealing wax.

The main materials should be resin, plant ash, butter, and beeswax.

Resin, plant ash, butter, everyone must know.

Beeswax, probably many people don't know, is actually beeswax, also called yellow wax. Of course, this kind of beeswax is not that kind of fossil, but a fatty substance secreted by the 4 pairs of wax glands in the abdomen of the age-appropriate worker bees in the bee colony.

However, there are still very few things unearthed such as sealing wax, and most of them are dug out by Tufuzi, and serious archaeological people have not seen it a few times!

I never thought I'd see it today!

Bai Wushu said that he was in the lower left corner of this bone, where the sealing wax knocked off a little, revealing a few small characters, looking at the font and glyph, it should be Olmec.

After hesitating for a while, I finally used the handle of the Baipi knife to gently knock off the layer of sealing wax attached to the outside of this bone, the sealing wax is very brittle, greasy to the touch, but it is like glass, the handle of the knife is so knocked, only to hear the "pop" sound, directly cracked, and then just like breaking the egg shell, I quickly pulled out the sealing wax with my hand, and the polished white and smooth cow skull was presented in front of my eyes in an instant, with a few big characters engraved on one side, and a large piece of black pressed on the other. Dense little print, all Olmec!

"Hathaway! Take a look at these words and see if you can decipher them! ”

I waved to Hathaway and handed her the skull in my hand, I really didn't know anything about Olmekven, I could only count on Hathaway.

Hopefully, she'll be able to decipher it!

There are too many words on this cow bone, dense, not much bigger than a fly, it must have been carved by a master carver, there are two or three thousand words, it is very difficult to decipher, unless Hathaway understands the entire Olmec system to decipher it completely, otherwise, it is just a few words!

After Hathaway took this piece of beef bone, she entered a long decipherment, she looked carefully, and from time to time asked me some historical questions, frowning, obviously encountered a lot of difficulties in deciphering, there are many words she should not know, so she will speculate on the general meaning of those fonts through some historical questions, because Olmec as the root of the Mayan script, in a sense, it is more similar to a kind of hieroglyphs, each text is like a painting, the meaning is very straightforward, It is entirely possible to speculate on the meaning through some historical questions!

Hathaway's decipherment took more than three hours, and then she finally let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from her face, showed a smile on her face, and said softly: "Live up to the trust, and finally understand what is recorded on this bone." ”

I was shocked, and hurriedly sat down next to Hathaway, urging urgently, "Tell me quickly." ”

"What is written on this bone...... It can really be said to encompass the entire history of the Lavin people, including their demise, their ...... Enemy! ”

Hathaway pursed her lips, pointed to the old man who was still sitting behind us, and said softly: "This person's identity is very, very high in the entire Ravin tribe, to be precise, he should be the head of the entire Ravin tribe!! ”

Speaking of this, Hathaway closed her eyes lightly and breathed heavily, as if she was shocked by what was written on the bone, and only said slowly after a while: "Heroic! It's really magnificent! The Lavin people, like other Indian nations, really struggled in the wilderness, rising in blood and fire! ”

"Oops, what a desperate person!"

Bai Wushu slapped his thigh, and said helplessly: "I said little girl, can we say everything in one go?" Don't hum and sneer, now a few of us are hanging on a small string with a jump, how can we have so much time to sigh about that? ”

As soon as Bai Wushu said this, Hathaway finally explained the issues we were more concerned about, she shook the cow bone in her hand, and said lightly: "This should be a god card, that is, something engraved with identity and status in some religions, which is equivalent to our current ID card, but the front is engraved with identity information, and the back is engraved with some very important things for the holder of the god card, similar to an epitaph, but the information on the back is the living person's own evaluation, or recorded by himself, And the epitaph is an evaluation written by someone else to a dead person! ”

"Actually, the Ravin, like many other ethnic groups, is also a people whose religion dominates!"

Hathaway lightly told us about the true identity of this old man: "This old man is the high priest of the Ravan tribe back then, the most loyal believer of the jaguar god, and he is the person with the highest status in the entire Ravan tribe, anyway, as long as there is something to do, it is basically this old man who is giving orders, but above this old man, there is another existence, who usually does not appear, and when he appears, he speaks better than this old man, this person is what you call Shao Hao!" As for the relationship between Shaohao and the Laven tribe, it is all recorded above!! ”

With that said, Hathaway ...... Finally, we slowly talked about the content we were most interested in.
