Chapter 473: Dungeon
After Su Man came down, he said to everyone: "Then let's go!" This section is also 10 kilometers, and it takes an hour or two to walk. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"
Then he paused and said, "Let's drink some water first, and then we'll set off, if only we knew the road from above, we wouldn't have to walk." As he spoke, Su Man took out the diluted mountain spring water and handed it to everyone.
After drinking some water and replenishing their strength, everyone walked in the direction of the Derinkuyu dungeon, the road inside was protected before, and ordinary people did not walk it, so the road surface was smooth and clean. Because it is a straight road, it is not difficult to walk.
Everyone walked forward quickly while talking, and Wan Haoqi began to tell everyone the general situation of the dungeon they had learned.
It is said that the passage to this underground city is hidden under the houses throughout the village.
These ancient cities are crisscrossed from the ground down to a depth of tens of meters. These dungeons have everything you need, including rooms, apartments, chapels, breweries, livestock pens, warehouses, and more.
There are also tunnels at the edge of the city that lead to other dungeons, so each dungeon varies in size, some can only accommodate a few dozen people, and some can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
With Wan Haoqi's story-like explanation all the way to everyone, everyone quickly arrived at the junction of the Dungeon of Derinkuyu before they knew it. However, archaeology seems to have cut off the road and locked it with a modern gate.
"Girl, I'll knock the door open." Seeing that this place was locked, Pi Jun walked over and said.
"Don't, Brother Pi, I don't know what the situation is on the other side. Or tell Lu Wei to burn this iron gate around first, and then I will use a chisel to dig a hole and see what the situation is over there. Su Man said cautiously to Pi Jun.
"Okay then." Pi Jun stepped aside, Lu Wei came over and first heated the middle part with two flames alternately, and then Lu Wei put away the flames when it was slightly broken.
Lu Wei put away the flames. Su Man sprinkled some water on the burned and shattered place. He flipped out a chisel and hammer and pressed it on the place where it had just been burned.
With a few "bangs". It is easy to chisel a hole out of the burned area.
Su Man swept away the debris around him, and then pressed his eyes to look. The other side was quiet, but nothing could be seen from the hole, Su Man used a light tube to shine at the position of the hole.
"Let's work together to open the door. It seems quiet over there. Su Man raised his head and said to everyone.
Take advantage of the tools. Pry the gate open, and the Dungeon of Derinkuyu is revealed. The sight in front of them gave everyone the feeling of being swimming in an ocean full of secrets.
"According to the introduction, it is said that the locals believe that there is a mysterious magnetic field here that can cure diseases." Wan Haoqi told the translation to everyone.
"Let's go check it out first!"
Walk down the steps. It's full of twists and turns. First, on the first floor, there are the bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, wine cellar and stables.
"There's nothing strange here, it's similar to the dungeon just now, let's go down!" Su Man said after looking at it. I think if there was anything special about it, I wouldn't have placed it in such a high place.
The crowd came to the second floor. Here is the church with the altar, and then the third and fourth floors, respectively, are the baptistery, the church school, the sanctuary and the armory. The bottom layer is a storage reservoir.
However, at the entrance of the passage between these layers, a round stone disk with a diameter of more than one meter was found.
According to the sign next to the cobblestone plates, these cobblestone discs are stone gates one by one, and the stone of this disc-shaped stone door to protect against the enemy is very hard, not locally produced tuff. This is a security device unique to dungeons. If someone attacks, as long as you pull the hidden mechanism, the stone disk will automatically seal the hole. This is a bit like the "flip hole" of the tunnel dug during the war of the Huaxia Kingdom a long time ago.
The entrance to each floor of the underground passage is blocked by a large stone door to prevent intruders from entering, and the occupants inside can enter and exit the floors freely through the tunnels without being noticed. In the dungeon, artificially excavated stone staircases are visible upward, and each floor is connected by stone staircases. The ancient inhabitants of the dungeon were careful to pass messages to each other, and there were holes in the walls for communication. There's even a school, with a podium in the middle of the classroom and two rows of desks hewn out of rough stone.
The ventilation facilities of the dungeon are also perfectly designed, there are ventilation holes in the center of the dungeon that are connected to the ground, the ventilation ducts are dense like spider webs in the dungeon, and the artificial chisel marks on the two walls are also clearly visible. From the ground to the bottom floor, these holes were dug so that the air could circulate smoothly, so everyone did not feel the slightest breath holding even in the holes on the lower floor.
The scale of this dungeon is quite large, with a total of 1,200 small stone houses. Although the team did not count from room to door, it was roughly felt when they walked through the middle.
The only downside is the winding corridors, which are low and narrow, and I don't know if this was because people were generally short at the time or because they could support the upper floors more firmly. In short, in this case, people need to bend down to walk. Walking in such corridors and stone houses is like entering an ant's nest.
"It's so short here! Are they all dwarfs? Xuan Yu'er muttered as she followed through the low hallway. She wasn't a big deal, though, and the men walked forward almost bowed.
The group descended another section and had reached the lowest level of the dungeon.
"Vines, this is where artifacts from the Semitic era were found." Wan Haoqi said, pointing to the sign nailed to the wall.
"This is it? Let's take a look inside, is there more to it? Su Man said, adjusting the light source of the light tube to the maximum, and then drilled into the cave.
"Here's an introduction to the Semites." After Wan Haoqi came in, he was looking around.
While everyone gathered around, Wan Haoqi also began to read a part of the introduction of the Semitic tribe to everyone.
According to the introduction, the Semitic people are an ancient theocratic people, who lived here in about 1800 BC ~ 1000 BC, and their capital Hatusas is about 300 kilometers away from Derinkuyu.
So judging by this, these underground cities existed long before the Hittites. Some even believe that its construction dates back to the Neolithic Age, as obsidian quarries used to make stone axes and knives have already been discovered in the southwest of Cappadocia, and not far from Cappadocia there are ruins of an ancient human city dating back 9,000 years. It is for this reason that some archaeologists believe that these dungeons were most likely built 3,000 years ago or even earlier.
If it was built so long ago, then Su Man really felt that there was a possibility here.
After listening to Wan Haoqi's narration and Su Man's analysis, everyone took the light tube and groped for it little by little on the ground, walls and other places, hoping to find some related items or deeper places.
When he was searching, Su Man also released a few little guys, and asked a few little guys, especially Xiao Sha and Xiao Mo to help, which would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as the two Xiaoying moves were released, they secretly jumped up on Bai Xiaobai's body to search the formation, Su Man was not in a hurry, the two little guys were still relatively reliable, and at this time it was the main thing for her to find other places first.
Everyone groped around, and there didn't seem to be anything special to find, and the two Xiaoying moves also skipped the search method at this time, Su Man squatted down and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Did you find anything? β
Xiao Sha shook her head and nodded, Su Man was puzzled: "Xiao Sha, is this there or not?" β
"Don't worry, master, go to an exhibition room over there, it should be the place where the most items are unearthed, go there and give it some energy."
Listening to Xiaosha's words, Su Man walked towards the innermost exhibition room in front of him, where many unearthed items were displayed, but not much, because most of the items had been transferred to the museum.
Su Man looked at a small part of the exhibition, these items are really inconspicuous, especially the treasures of the Thracians in the team, the things here and the unearthed treasures really can't be compared, so everyone is just looking for a place that may be the entrance to the ruins.
Soon, Su Man came to a corner and released the energy of the relics, and then Xiao Sha searched for a while according to the energy, and then said to Su Man: "Master, go dig the wall behind that booth, I think there is something different from other places." β
Su Man nodded, then stood up and walked to the booth in the direction that Xiao Sha pointed out just now: "Brother Pi, come and help me move this platform, okay?" Su Man walked over and pushed the booth, and then shouted at Pi Jun.
"Girl, did you find out? I'll come. Pi Jun came over with the dirt on his body.
The two of them moved the booth vigorously, and then Su Man patted it with his hand on the wall behind him, and when he photographed the position of a certain wall, he made a "bang" sound, although it was not obvious and could not be felt if he didn't listen carefully, but it was indeed different from the sound made by other walls when shooting.
Su Man nodded, it was estimated that this was the place, turned out a small shovel, and dug up in that place.
After digging a large piece, Su Man slowed his hand, then dug down again, and just picked up the shovel and pried it down, the shovel went directly into the wall.
"It's done, good sign." Su Man smiled and muttered to himself. A shovel was then used to pull the surrounding soil out, revealing a hole that had been built.
Su Man shone the light tube inside, and then saw something inside.
