Chapter 482: Reversal of Thinking

If Gao Chao hadn't asked this sentence, Xia Qing might not have noticed that Gao Chao was also on the side, she seemed to have forgotten Gao Chao, a big living person, and both of them felt a little embarrassed at the same time.

Despite this, Xia Qing still heard Gao Chao's question, and then she nodded: "Yes, it may really have something to do with it, many scholars now believe that the direct cause of the disappearance of the Loulan civilization may be due to the factor of climate change, and the reason why the climate changes is because of the prevalence of large-scale sun tombs in the ancient kingdom of Loulan." ”

Gao Chao thought for a while and said, "The Sun Tomb is the kind of Sun Tomb that is enclosed in a circle with thick tree stumps?" ”

Xia Qing said: "Yes, it is the kind of sun tomb, most scholars believe that the Loulan people built some large sun tombs throughout the country, which led to the emergence of indiscriminate logging, so that the ancient country of Loulan lost a lot of oases and forests, so the desert began to expand rapidly, causing climate changes, and eventually the Loulan civilization went to the depletion, but ......"

She continued: "But this theory is not perfect, and even I think this theory cannot be established at all, because in the long period of 3,000 to 5,000 years ago, this was not a desert Gobi, not to mention that the ancient country of Loulan at that time was very powerful, to put it bluntly, they were rich, and they were also very wise, how could they not think of the consequences of cutting down trees." ”

"If they want to build a large number of sun tombs, they can use the money to buy trees in various places, and spend money to hire foreign labor to carry out the construction, without destroying any environment or oppressing their own people, which can be easily deduced from the special status of the ancient country of Loulan in the world at that time."

Gao Chao nodded in agreement with her and said, "Then you think the reason why the Loulan civilization is really lost." And what is it? ”

Xia Qing glanced at Gao Chao, and then glanced into the spaceβ€”it was full of golden colors.

She seemed to sigh and said softly, "The reason is this mausoleum." ”

"This mausoleum? Why? Gao Chao asked.

Xia Qing said slowly: "Look at this mausoleum, I don't know how much gold it takes to build it, so much gold, in the era of more than 5,000 years ago. It's unimaginable, and if I'm not mistaken, the amount of gold mined in the world at that time was probably less than half of what was mined here, so I dare to conclude that in order to build this gold mausoleum, the ancient kingdom of Loulan may have spent all the wealth in the treasury to exchange almost all the world's gold here. ”

She continued to caress the surface of the golden coffin with her hand, and continued: "So no matter how strong the ancient kingdom of Loulan is. No matter how rich they are, they will eventually decline because of this gold, and they will definitely start wars because of this gold, but rob other people's gold, and of course there are people who will rob their gold, and this gold is wealth, which is the original sin of all wars, maybe from that time. They were already overwhelmed, and they gradually began to decline. Going downhill, so reciprocating, vicious circle, in the end, they can only helplessly and painfully sink in the long river of history. ”

Xia Qing's words couldn't help but make the listeners feel a little sad, such a generation of prosperous civilization. It was ruined like this, but what was it all for?

Gao Chao couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Xia Qing: "If the goddess of Loulan is the queen who helped the rise of the Loulan civilization, why did she use this way to destroy Loulan after she died." This...... Doesn't that make sense? Also, why did they use so much gold to build such a mausoleum, which has nothing to do with the Sun Tomb of the Loulan civilization at all, what do they think? Could it be that gold has any other significance to this goddess? ”

Gao Chao's words are at most a bystander's question, he is not a professional archaeologist, not even an archaeology enthusiast, but with his keen insight, his question has had some great effect and inspiration for Xia Qing.

Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao, as if he was starting to think about something, and said after a while: "Maybe you are right, these gold may really have some special effects for the Loulan Goddess, otherwise this is completely inconsistent with the universal values of the Loulan civilization at that time, let alone the decisions that a civilization full of wisdom should make." ”

Gao Chao touched the melon, thought about it along Xia Qing's train of thought, and said, "If gold really has any special effect on the goddess, is this effect a good effect or a bad effect?" ”

Hearing Gao Chao's question, Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao's eyes, as if she was shining again, she really couldn't imagine that such a superb martial artist, who had always been regarded as a martial artist, could be so sharp and flexible in her thoughts.

In Xia Qing's view, Gao Chao's question really got to the point, and it was completely a flip in the overall thinking.

According to Gao Chao, if gold really has an effect on the goddess, then there must be two sides, one side is good, and the other side is naturally bad.

Ordinary people, of course, will only think of the good side, the reason is very simple, after all, this is the mausoleum of the goddess of Loulan, and the whole country of Loulan built such a golden mausoleum for this goddess, which is a very extravagant and reckless thing, so it is naturally good for the goddess, even if these gold have a special effect on the goddess, it must be some kind of good effect, this is the way of thinking of ordinary people, and it is also the mainstream thought of ordinary archaeologists, of course, it is also the view held by Xia Qing before.

However, the superb ideas are completely different from ordinary people.

At the same time, he also raised the question, if it is a special effect, will it be a bad effect?

Xia Qing was deeply attracted by such a sentence, she felt that Gao Chao was right, if there is a special role, since it may be good, it may also be bad.

What if it's a bad effect? So what is the gold used for the goddess?

If you think about it along this line, it seems that all the plots are starting to flip.

Could it be that Loulan used the strength of a country and poured everything he had to buy all the gold in the world just to use gold to deal with this goddess? Could it be that the gold was used to build such a mausoleum in order to do some bad to the goddess and to suppress the goddess?

If all this is true and true, then what will be the bad effect?

Xia Qing suddenly found that if he continued along this line of thought, he would draw many unimaginable conclusions.

However, these conclusions seem to solve many of the previous ambiguous problems at once. (To be continued.) )
