Chapter 541: Nineveh's Harvest

After eating, Xuan Yuer took Xiao Tian Tian and a group of little guys to play in the yard, while Pi Jun went out with Su Yuantong to maintain the car.

Lu Wei and Mu Caochen took a shower early in the morning and went back to the room to practice qi, Wan Haoqi, Zhong Tao, and Gao Zhanbo were still lying at the dining table to study tomorrow's route.

The place where everyone has arrived now is Mesopotamia, one of the world's earliest civilizations. For those who are familiar with the word, they do not particularly understand the profound meaning contained here. At least Su Man didn't think he knew anything about this civilization.

Because the Mesopotamian civilization is very rich in content, but there are all kinds of different connections, people don't know where to start investigating.

Historically, the northern part of the center of Mesopotamia was called Assyria, while the southern part was Babylonia. Both of these ancient civilizations are very distinctive, where should we start looking? Zhong Tao brought up the things described in the book with questions.

"Assyria, as I remember, belonged to the Semitic tribes, who were early vassals of the ancient Babylonian and Mitanni kingdoms. In the middle of the year, he established a powerful Assyrian Empire, defeated the Hittite Empire and Babylon, and occupied the entire valley of the two rivers. It was a very powerful branch of the Mesopotamian civilization, and the capital of Assyria, Nineveh, is also mentioned in the Bible. At this time, Gao Zhanbo interjected.

"Oh? Mentioned in the Bible. Su Man, who was originally sitting on the side, heard the discussion of several people and immediately thought of the "Noah's Ark" that everyone had found before was also mentioned in the Bible, and then continued: "Isn't this Semitic tribe the race founded by the legendary Noah's son Shem?" Is there a connection here? Let's go to this Assyria first. ”

"Assyria is long gone, but I've heard of what appears to be the city wall of Nineveh excavated somewhere, but I don't remember the exact location, and we need to go through more information." Gao Zhanbo replied.

After a period of silence, Wan Haoqi and Zhong Tao's subordinates did not stop looking through the information.

"I found it, and it was written about Nineveh." Zhong Tao flipped through a book and suddenly said: "Here, Nineveh is an ancient city in Western Asia. The capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Located on the east bank of the upper Tigris River. Pull. Near Kmosul. It means 'the greatest city before God' and is located in ...... Over here. Located in Yi. Pull. To the north, on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, across the river from present-day Mosul City. The Bible mentions the name of the city of Nineveh: 'The Lord will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria.' He made Nineveh desolate, and arid like a wilderness. ’”

Gao Zhanbo nodded: "By the way, I remember, it's near Mosul, let's take a look at the route, let's go there tomorrow!" ”

With a rough goal,.

Mosul is the first of the Islamic countries. Pull. The third largest city in Croatia. The capital of the province of Nineveh. Located in the capital city of Ba. Case. The area, 362 kilometers north of Da, has long been an intermediate station on the "Silk Road" and an important point connecting Asia Minor with the Persian Gulf.

The journey of more than 300 kilometers is not too far, but it will take about five hours, and it seems that tomorrow I will not be able to return to the ancient Assyrian ruins of Nineveh.

However, because there was no other clue, they were ready to go straight to the goal first and then make other plans, and after looking at the route and direction, everyone rested.

Su Man didn't sleep well this night, I don't know if it was because of anxiety or excitement. I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. As a result, early the next morning, Su Man, who originally remembered to make breakfast, didn't wake up until Xiao Tian Tian came back to call her after washing.

Su Man hurriedly got dressed and washed. Everyone was already downstairs preparing for breakfast, and they smiled at everyone, and Su Man sat down on the side.

"Manman, did you wake up later than me today, did you sleep late last night?" Xuan Yu'er asked.

"It's rare for me to wake up a little late, but I really didn't sleep well last night, I don't know why." Su Man took a steamed bun and replied while nibbling on it.

"Could it be a sign that we're going to find something?" Xuan Yu'er seemed to be even more excited about Su Man's lack of sleep, and then thought that the place she was going to today was a very ancient civilization, maybe she was looking for the place.

However, Su Man shook his head: "I don't know, it may be just insomnia." ”

For the answer given by Su Man. Xuan Yu'er was obviously dissatisfied: "It's not so simple, your feeling has always been very accurate, I guess we must be going to find something good this time." ”

"I hope so." couldn't talk about Xuan Yu'er, Su Man had to answer a sentence and then bowed his head to eat his breakfast.

After everyone was full, they packed up their things and handed them to Su Man, and then they left the house.

Since the route was optimistic before. As soon as you set off, go straight to the direction of your goal.

During the few hours on the road, Su Man's mind kept coming up with a lot of strange impressions, but whenever he wanted to catch those impressions, those things were quickly lost, which made Su Man very annoyed, and he didn't know how to get rid of such a mess of thinking.

Since Su Man had his eyes closed all the time, the people sitting in the front row looked at Su Man's expression constantly changing, and they all thought that Su Man was asleep and dreaming.

Finally, we arrived at our destination, Mosul, which was not only an intermediate station on the ancient "Silk Road", but also a key road before the end of the world. So here is the same narrative. Sharp. Asia, Turkey and Iraq. There are also railways connecting the highways to the neighboring countries. It is a very accessible place.

At the ruins of Nineveh, there are also not many zombies in the vicinity, wandering around the irregularly shaped walls of Nineveh.

The city walls here are two layers, the outer walls are battled walls, there are towers in the middle, and the inner walls are high adobe walls. According to the guidebook, the main buildings in the city that have been discovered include three groups of palaces and two groups of temples. To the south of the city is Sennacherib Palace, and to the north of the city is the Azulbanipa Palace. Between the two houses are the Palace of Asur Nasirpa II, the Temple of Nab, the God of Words, and the Temple of Istal, the goddess of Venus, who represents love.

Zhong Tao took the book and compared the image and introduction, and said to everyone: "It is said that the ancient city of Nineveh has a total of 15 gates. After archaeological excavations, the gate of Hades, the gate of the moon goddess, and the gate of the god of abundance on the north wall were rebuilt; the Water-Carrying Gates of the Western Wall; The Helios Gate on the East Wall. The Assyrian Museum was also established next to the Gate of Hades, which displays many excavated artifacts and illustrative charts. ”

"Got a note? Let's take a look at it first, and then go to the ancient city to study it slowly. Su Man said and motioned for Zhong Tao to lead the way.

They arrived at the Assyrian Museum, where part of the royal palace of Senal-Sherib, excavated at Kuyunjik, had two stone statues of winged bulls in front of the gate, like two mighty guards. The entrance hall and other places are decorated with marble reliefs, depicting the ancient Assyrians in battle, hunting, feasting, and construction labor, etc., and the shape is very realistic. There are also libraries and palaces from the time of King Banibal. The library contains clay tablets of various cuneiform scripts.

However, it is clear that these relevant annotations do not provide more information to the public, and most of them are based on the annotations of the artifact itself. So the crowd left the Assyrian Museum and returned to the palace of Nineveh.

Legend has it that the palace in Nineveh has more than 70 rooms and the outer walls are about three kilometers long. However, only charred carvings remain on the current city walls, most of which have been destroyed.

In addition to summoning Xiaosha, Su Man also exuded energy to sense around him, but it was a pity that even so, there were still no clues. Even later, Su Man took out the "Noah's Ark", but there was still no response.

Xuan Yu'er looked at Su Man in disappointment: "Manman, it seems that your feelings also fail!" ”

Su Man smiled: "I didn't say that if I didn't sleep well, it must have something to do with it!" ”

Although disappointed, everyone is accustomed to it, and it is impossible to gain every time.

"There's still some of it, let's go around again, and leave if we haven't already." Su Man said to everyone.

Everyone nodded, slowly searching along this section of the monuments, until when they turned to the temple of Istal, the goddess of Venus, which represented love, Mu Caochen suddenly felt a kind of traction-like calling.

"Vine, I feel like something is calling me." Mu Caochen suddenly said to Su Man.

Xuan Yu'er patted Su Man happily on the side: "Manman, Manman, you see, I will say that there will definitely be something, this should be a precursor to gaining energy, we all obtained energy in this way before." ”

"I know, if you shoot again, I'm going to fall apart." Su Man said with a smile, and then looked at Mu Caochen: "Be careful." Mu Caochen nodded at Su Man, and then walked towards the place he perceived.

Until Mu Caochen disappeared after being shrouded in a cloud of light, everyone sat down next to the place where he disappeared.

"I'll take some fruit and eat it, I don't know when Cao Chen will come out." Su Man turned out some fruits and distributed them to everyone, while Lu Wei, a cultivator, practiced qi on the side after eating the fruits.

Looking at Lu Wei who was working so hard, Su Man thought about it, and simply sat aside to teach Xiao Tian Tian how to practice qi, and as a result, Xuan Yu'er surrounded Xiao Tian Tian in surprise for a long time: "Tian Tian, you are also an alien?" ”

"Sister Yu'er, what is an anomaly?" Xiao Tian asked, tilting his little head in confusion.

Su Man smiled and explained to Xuan Yu'er: "Tian Tian doesn't know what special abilities are, it was when I helped her check her body a few days ago that I found that she had some weak wood abilities in her body, but Tian Tian is still young, but she is not in a hurry, let her practice a little bit definitely be stronger than us before she starts to know how much." ”

"Great, you don't have to worry about Tiantian becoming a zombie in the future." Xuan Yu'er said happily, and then sat down next to her, listening to Su Man's talk to Xiao Tian Tian, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.
