She calmed down, mummies are artificial dried corpses, and it is not without them in Chinese history, and the ancient Chinese would also use formalin to preserve the corpse, which seems to be easier than the Egyptian practice of cleaning the internal organs and brain marrow. "How was the mummy made?" She asked.

"Surprisingly, it's exactly the same as an ancient Egyptian mummy!" Tie Yiran said with a look of interest, "After preliminary testing, the mummy is at least 3,000 years old, and once it is confirmed, then the history of cultural exchanges between China and Egypt, the two ancient civilizations, may undergo major changes." ”

"If that's the case, that tomb should be a tomb from the Shang Dynasty?" She smiled and glanced at Tie Yiran, "If you can confirm it, Yiran is a big name in the archaeological world." ”

Tie Yiran smiled and shook his head, "I'm not interested in becoming the celebrity you said. ”

"But could the mummy you are talking about be some Egyptian nobleman who traveled to China during his lifetime?" She joked. After all, the commoners of ancient Egypt were not qualified to be mummified, and Egypt should have been a slave society 3,000 years ago, and it is estimated that no civilians or slaves would have crossed the sea to China.

"Interesting hypothesis." Tie Yiran just smiled calmly and listened, not as a joke like she was a big layman.

At this moment, the female researcher just now came again, "I'm sorry, doctor, the director asked you to come to his office. ”

"Okay." Tie Yiran got up, "Xiao Sui, you wait here for me for a while." ”

Tie Yiran went out, but the research institute was still standing in the doorway, looking at her curiously.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

The female researcher said heartily: "No, I just heard the doctor say before that he must let one of his friends see the crystal skull, it turns out that the friend he said is you." ”

"Excuse me." She quickly stood up.

"It's okay, it would be better if you could help!" The female researcher spread her hands and said, "There have been too many people taking leave lately, and they can't be busy!" ”

"Me? I'm a big layman, how can I help you? Doesn't it say that "interlacing is like separating mountains"? She studied environmental science, and she is separated from archaeology by more than 108,000 miles, right?

"Just help us organize and pack up the paperwork, please!" Female researcher gassho request.

"Yes, if you don't dislike it." She's idle anyway.

"Wow, thanks! Did us a great favor! The female researcher said happily, "By the way, my name is Wen Xin, Wen of Literature, Heart of Mood, and I am the assistant of the doctor." Let's make friends, shall we? What's your name? ”

"Good. My name is the spike, the spike of time, the spike of rice. "This Wen Xin is really a cheerful person, recently she has been meeting yin and yang weird guys, and she hasn't known a "normal" friend for a long time. "You work at the institute at such a young age?"

"yes." Wen Xin smiled, "I studied archaeology in college, and I didn't have too many professional jobs, anyway, I didn't hate archaeology, so I worked in the research institute." To say that he is young, the doctor is surprising. I heard that he became a doctor in his twenties, and he has a very unique insight in archaeology, and he is one of the leading figures in this field. Compared to him, I'm really far behind. ”

Why should the authority of archaeology be a professional killer...... It's incomprehensible. "You're so good, I don't think I can stay in the lab all the time." She shook her head.

"Ha, I'm just good enough for a house!" Wen Xin laughed, "But the timing of your coming here is not good." ”

"Because it's been haunted lately?" She began to help Wen Xin pack up the books in the room, organize them and move them back to the reference room.

"That's right. The Doctor already told you? Wen Xin said without hesitation, "Yes, the person who saw the crystal skull before seemed to have been hypnotized." Later, after discovering the mummy, someone heard a woman's voice coming from the Fa Jianli who kept the mummy, and opened the door to see that there was no one inside. ”

"That's why there are rumors of haunting? But it is also possible that the person misheard, and everyone just spread the rumor. ”

"Maybe." Wen Xin's expression was not a little scared, and he said, "Isn't this also very mysterious?" If I could see that female ghost, I'd really like to ask her what happened to her in the past! ”

"What the hell do you want to see?" Dare to treat ghosts as rare animals and want to see them?

"History is all about the past that the previous authorities let future generations know, and studying whether there is real history in it is the original motivation for me to study archaeology. Won't the ghosts of ancient times tell us about the real past? ”

That's the way it is, but won't there be a language barrier? The earliest authentic and classic Chinese was in the Sui Dynasty, but the age of the mummy was more than 3,000 years ago, even if the ghost here was not the person before the mummy's death, if it exceeded the Sui Dynasty, I am afraid that everyone's language communication will be more difficult. "Speaking of real history, do you think there will be real history in mythological stories?" She asked.

"Indeed, there are some scholars who argue with what you just said." Wen thought for a moment and said, "But I think that myths and stories are just the imagination of predecessors, and even if there is a so-called history, the things described in them have long been distorted and exaggerated, and it is quite difficult to find out the information that is really needed from them." ”

However, in terms of what happened to Liu Xi's ancestors, history and mythology overlapped. She didn't refute Wen Xin's words, but said, "I think it's a pity to just let go of the clues inside." ”

"I won't let it go." Wen Xin took the book she handed over and said, "Didn't I say it just now? Since someone is asserting what you just said, someone will definitely look for clues. ”

"So will there be any clues to the Chinese mummy unearthed in ancient Egypt?" She muttered to herself.

"Maybe there will be." Wen Xin said with a grin, "It's just a question of whether you can find it or not." ”

Hehe, that's true. "Yiran said to come back in the evening - is it because the haunting phenomenon only occurs at night?" The concept that has been instilled since childhood is that "ghosts appear at night".

"The people who see the paranormal phenomenon so far are all colleagues on the night shift. The Doctor wanted to keep the haunted conditions consistent before saying he would come back in the evening. Wen Xin's attitude shows that although she is amused by "hauntings", she does not believe that there are ghosts in the world at all.

"If you want to reproduce a phenomenon, it's also important to keep the conditions consistent." She shrugged and said, "Is there anything else you've unearthed this time besides crystal skulls and mummies?" ”

"Yes!" Wen Xin said generously, "After packing up the materials, I'll take you to have a look." But those things haven't been sorted out yet, so don't touch them, in case you accidentally break them, it will be bad. ”

"yes, okay." Of course she'll be careful, because she can't afford to pay for the national heritage!

Although Wenxin said that it had not been sorted out yet, each one was neatly arranged, and each one was numbered separately. "These are the funerary objects we found in the tombs, and they are very interesting, some of the objects have designs and patterns that are very similar to those of ancient Egypt!" Wen Xin's eyebrows fluttered and said.

"Since mummies are made by the traditional mummification method of ancient Egypt, it is not surprising that there are similar burial goods, right?" She thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that thousands of years ago, an Egyptian nobleman crossed the ocean to China and died in China?" "Hey, what an inference that fits the status quo.

"Maybe it's a possibility!" Wen Xin slapped his palm and said, "It can be proved as a hypothesis." ”

Really? Although science is originally bold and cautious to verify it, wouldn't it be too bizarre for the Egyptian aristocracy to go to China and return to the West? Seeing Wen Xin's excited expression, she still didn't want to pour cold water, after all, she still said the absurd assumption herself.

- Yes, this kind of simple-minded person is the easiest to control.

Voice? She was startled and looked around, but saw no one else. Did you hear it wrong? But the content of the speech was quite clear, and the feeling was very similar to the feeling that the mermaid had used her heart to speak before, it was an empty and distant sound, obviously not speaking in the ear, but the sound and content echoed in the head. "Wen Xin, did you hear anything?" She asked tentatively.

However, Wen Xin, who was still very interested, became unusually quiet just now, and he looked a little blank without speaking and lowering his head.

"Huh? What did you just say? Wen Xin asked her rhetorically as if she had suddenly come back to her senses.

She repeated the question she had just asked again, and Wen Xin replied, "I didn't hear it." ”

Sure enough, she misheard? Or did Wen Xin actually hear it, but just pretended not to hear it?

- It's funny that someone can hear me......

It's talking again! The tone of the voice is the same as before, so it's the same person? What are you kidding, is someone doing this kind of boring prank, or is it that there really are ghosts in the institute?!
