"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

In the office, a man over half a hundred years old was writing his desk, and shouted without raising his head after hearing the sound: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in with several archival documents. put the file in his hand neatly on the table, and then stood aside respectfully and said, "Dean, the results are out." ”

The dean he called was the current president of the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Archaeology, and the middle-aged man who had just come in was the assistant to the dean, surnamed Zhou, who played the role of secretary.

"Hmm." The dean nodded, and took time out of his busy schedule to look at the file. But in the next second, he suddenly jumped up, with a shocked look on his face, and exclaimed in a dumbfounded voice: "Seven...... 70,000 years?! ”

Assistant Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he was not surprised by the dean's shocked performance, because when he first got the analysis report, his performance was even worse than others. In fact, anyone who sees this number will be terrified.

...... 70,000 years ago Mankind. but died 3,000 years ago......

What the hell is this?

It is no wonder that the dean was so shocked, the content of the report he just read was the measurement results of the dried corpse lying in the bluestone sarcophagus before, and the year of death of this person should be about 3,000 years ago by carbon 14 dating, which was the transition period between the two dynasties of King Wu and Shang and Zhou. In other words, this person died during the period of the end of the Shang and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

This result is not surprising, because judging from the ornamentation engraved on the outside of the bronze coffin, it should also be a product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

However, the identity of this dried corpse is very interesting, after all, this person was buried with a bluestone sarcophagus, a rammed earth coffin, and a bronze coffin, such specifications are enough to show that this person's identity is absolutely extraordinary. You must know that after the Zhou Dynasty, there were clear regulations that the coffin of the Son of Heaven was fourfold, the emperor and queen were threefold, and the prince, Hou Bozinan, and the doctor were three, two, and one respectively with equal differences. The stone is not heavy, but with a large coffin. That is to say, the emperors after the Zhou Dynasty only had four coffins, that is, one coffin set of three coffins. Although the Shang Dynasty before the Zhou Dynasty did not have such a regulation, it was almost the same.

Therefore, the person in the coffin can actually use the triple coffin, how noble should his identity be? And don't forget, it was a time of war during the war of King Wu. In the era of war, there was a shortage of materials, and during that period, such a huge amount of manpower and material resources could be used to dig mountains and build tombs, except for the two kings of Xuan and Wuwang, it is estimated that no one else can do it, right? But if it is a tomb built by the order of King Su or King Wu, will this specification be too high? This kind of treatment, it seems that even Wen Zhong has never enjoyed it, right? You must know that it is a bronze coffin, weighing about ten tons, that is to say, the outer coffin alone smelted ten tons of copper, if it is used to cast weapons, how many troops can be equipped? What kind of force would be so idiotic, let go of the army and not raise it, and throw all its energy and financial resources into it?

This is a puzzling point, and in addition to this, there is another thing that people can't figure out, and that is the way this person died. There were no obvious fatal wounds on the corpse, and the cause of his death was a murder weapon that could have been a dagger or something from the center of his forehead and eyebrows. But when he was buried, the murder weapon was still nailed to his forehead and not removed, why is this?

Judging from the specifications of the tomb, the person who buried him must have valued this person very much, and even so important that he did not hesitate to build a tomb for him with the strength of the whole country. But since you value it so much, why don't you take away the murder weapon nailed to someone's forehead? This is disrespectful to the deceased, and it is very unreasonable.

The experts racked their brains and couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't guess who this dried corpse was and what kind of prominent identity it had. Just when everyone was at a loss, an archaeological expert from Shaanxi gave a suggestion, he proposed to use genetic dating to find out the approximate age of birth and death of this person, and perhaps the identity of this person can be deduced from the middle. After all, carbon 14 is based on the residual carbon 14 composition of a dead organism to infer its age, that is, at most, it can only be inferred how many years ago the death time of this person or animal or plant is about 10 years ago, but it is impossible to determine the year they were born. The method of genetic dating is to extract DNA from a dried corpse for identification, so as to infer the year of birth and death of the person. It's just that the technology of genetic dating is not yet perfect, so the error will definitely be greater than that of carbon 14 dating.

The proposal was quickly approved, and another round of vintage determination began, but this time the results came out and everyone was stupefied.

The results of the report show that this dried corpse was born more than 70,000 years ago?!

A man who was born more than 70,000 years ago, but died 3,000 years ago? The cause of death was actually nailed into the center of the eyebrows with a murder weapon?

The world is crazy, isn't it?

70,000 years!!

It is not surprising that there were humans 70,000 years ago, after all, the history of mankind goes back millions of years. But the question is, how did he go from 70,000 years ago to 3,000 years ago, and then die in that war-torn era? Crossing? That's. And the statement of crossing is not valid, because genetic dating is based on the existence and longevity of cell tissues to determine the year, that is, how old the person lived, then how old the measurement is.

It's like a young man of 20 years old, who travels to a hundred years later, then the genetic dating method will still be 20 years old, not 100 years more out of thin air, because he really only lived for 20 years. So the nonsense of crossing is obviously not valid, but if it is not crossing, then things become a little weird, even terrifying.

And then there's that tomb, who built it? And for what reason such a huge tomb was built? At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, who could have such great ability and financial resources to build such a huge tomb?

The old dean scratched his scalp fiercely, only feeling that his brain was not enough, as if the more he knew, the more messy the whole thread became.

"Dean'......"

Assistant Zhou just wanted to speak, but the old dean hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "You wait a while, let me take care of it first, my brain is a little messy at this moment." ”

The old dean frowned, and his gaze fell on a photo in the report. The photo shows a male corpse, with a height of 1.78 meters, which is a normal average height for modern humans. The dead state looks normal, except for a large, hideous hole in the center of the forehead and eyebrows, which is very scary.

The dean curled his fingers and tapped lightly on the tabletop, but his brows were tightly locked into the word "Chuan", he still couldn't accept this result. Of course, as long as I am afraid that I will not believe the content of this report, it is too shocking.
