Chapter 572: Wooden Puppet

Wu Ze carefully shoveled the sand around the wooden block with a sapper shovel, and as the speed of Wu Ze's hand increased, the wooden block gradually revealed its true face.

After all the surrounding sand was shoveled by him, Wu Ze picked up a small wooden puppet from the sand pile, and it turned out that there was a human face puppet with a nose and eyes carved on this slap head.

This face puppet is carved very expressively, from the carving technique, it already has a considerable level of carving technology, but this little puppet actually has an exaggerated big nose, which looks a little weird.

"Brother Ze, this is what you call a baby? This thing looks worthless. Luo Fatzi pursed his lips disdainfully, if he knew that this was a wooden puppet, he didn't bother to wait here.

Luo Fat Man was extremely disappointed, but Wu Ze's expression became solemn, and he shouted at Luo Fat Man: "Fat man, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this thing has a history." ”

After Jiang Yan saw Wu Ze digging out this little puppet from the sand, a pair of eyes kept flickering on this small wooden block, and it was obvious that she also saw a clue from this wooden carved puppet.

"Dead fatty, you really don't know how to learn, do you know where we were going today?" Although Jiang Yan's eyes were staring at this little wooden carved doll, her mouth was not idle.

"Xiaohe Cemetery, didn't you say it a long time ago, did you forget it so quickly?" Luo Fatzi asked rhetorically, seemingly puzzled.

Jiang Yan was so angry that she vomited blood by Luo Fatzi's words, she gave Luo Fatzi a blank look, this guy is purely cheating.

So Jiang Yan decided not to pay attention to this guy anymore, she stretched out her hand, pulled Wu Ze out of the sand pit, and then said, "Let me take a look at this wood carving doll first." ”

Wu Ze handed the doll in his hand to Jiang Yan.

"It's not just a broken wood statue, what's so good-looking, you see, I don't know who carved it, the nose is carved big, it's not coordinated at all, at a glance, it's not a masterpiece." Luo Fatzi looked at Jiang Yan and Wu Ze with a cautious look, and couldn't help pouting and said.

", let you learn more knowledge when you go to school, you just don't listen, and now you know that it's a blind beep here, this broken wood statue has a history." Wu Ze couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

Luo Fatzi hit the snake with the stick, and he was entangled with Wu Ze now, "Brother Ze, since you all know so well, then tell me what the origin of this wooden statue is." ”

It turned out that Luo Fatzi had long been curious, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he had to beat the side drum to learn about this small object that didn't seem strange from the side.

Wu Ze glanced at him obliquely, and knew that this guy was itching in his heart, he already wanted to know the truth, but how could Wu Ze let him get his way, "Fatty, do you want to know?" Do you really want to know? ”

"Think about it, think about it, you can talk about it quickly." Luo Fatzi's eyes lit up, and his curiosity had been raised high by Wu Ze.

"If you really want to know, then you kneel down and beg me, if you ask like this, maybe I will tell the truth." Wu Ze smiled evilly.

"I'll rely on ......" Luo Fatzi knew that he was tricked by Wu Ze, and he gave Wu Ze a middle finger on the spot.

Liu Rumei was very happy to see these two guys arguing, and she wanted to laugh when she looked at it, but her curiosity was also successfully provoked by them.

So, she asked Jiang Yan: "Yan'er, look at what you have made mysterious, what is the origin of this little puppet?" Is this a strange thing? ”

"Well, yes, this little puppet does have some origins, but if you want to understand its origin, you have to start from the beginning......" Jiang Yan gently stroked the wooden puppet in her hand and began to tell a legend about this land thousands of years ago.

In 1934, Bergmann, an archaeologist from Sweden, led by the guide of Rob Hunter Aldeck, they went along a small channel south of the Peacock River, and then not far from this small river, they found a strange burial complex, because this small river did not have a name, so Bergmann called it Xiaohe at that time, and the burial group he found was named Xiaohe Cemetery.

This cemetery is the cemetery with "thousands of coffins" that is spread among the local population, and his tomb has a peculiar form, and so far, no similar burial method has been found in the world.

The most peculiar part of this cemetery is that most of its graves are made up of several layers of tombs, which are stacked from bottom to top layer by layer by the chronological order of human death of this tribe, and are buried on this circular sand mountain with a radius of more than 2,000 square meters.

Moreover, these ancients more than 3,000 years ago, above this cemetery, inserted more than 100 wooden stakes made of poplar wood, looking from a distance, it looks like a huge steamed bun full of chopsticks.

There is also a very peculiar aspect of these wooden stakes, that is, the burial pit below is the burial pit of male corpses, and the wooden stakes inserted above are in the shape of oars, and if there is a burial pit with female corpses buried below, the wooden stakes inserted above become polygonal wooden pillars, which seems to symbolize some kind of primitive tribe fertility worship.

In these graves, the coffins they used to bury their bodies were also unique ship coffins, which were hollowed out of poplar wood, and two huge poplar trees were hollowed out to form a bracket-shaped ship coffin, covered with a baffle on the top and no bottom plate below.

Then the ancients more than 3,000 years ago, with the fresh cowhide that had just been slaughtered, wrapped the coffin, and then buried the coffin in the sand, just like that, as the moisture of the cowhide was continuously absorbed by the surrounding sand, it became drier and drier, and these continuously dried cowhides wrapped the whole coffin tightly, even after thousands of years, they were like hard shields, always protecting the corpses in the coffin.

In these coffins buried more than 3,000 years ago, people have found many well-preserved dried corpses, and it is really rare to find such a large number of well-preserved dried corpses in the same cemetery.

In these ship-shaped coffins, people found some unique funerary goods, those dried corpses are basically wearing woolen felt hats, wrapped in woolen cloaks, and on their right hand, will be placed a very unique straw basket, these straw baskets, preserved in the coffin for thousands of years, are still brand new, very magical.

In addition to these straw baskets, people have also found wooden pins, wooden combs, wooden ancestors, wooden face statues, well, that's right, wooden face statues.
