Chapter 40: The Mystery of the Bone Artifact

After dinner, I only felt uncomfortable, maybe it was the result of training, or maybe I didn't understand the killer's thing, in short, I am physically and mentally exhausted now, as if I was looking for a quiet place to rest for a while. www.biquge.info But Tan Jia was too much, and when I was about to go to bed, I suddenly called everyone and said that there was a major discovery and they all went to the basement for a meeting.

Pity me and Biaozi stripped off only a pair of underwear, and subconsciously jumped up from the sofa, and the privacy of our bodies was completely exposed under everyone's noses. Tan Jia looked at me and Biaozi secretively, revealing a mocking look: "It's not that I haven't seen it, what's the big deal." ”

Biaozi and I were stunned for a moment, how can you talk like this, can you still be considered a woman? After hesitating for a while, he immediately finished dressing and rushed to the basement.

Professor Zhang and Professor Sun had already sat there early, looking refreshed and with happy smiles on their faces, and it seemed that their research had made progress these days.

After sitting down, Professor Sun took out an object and placed it in front of everyone, I only felt very familiar, and the next moment I remembered that it was the bronze box that the mark brought out of the underwater nest, the bronze box containing bone tools. Naturally, I felt a little strange in my heart, and I didn't understand what this meeting had to do with these things.

Professor Sun opened his laptop and said excitedly to everyone: "Through the decipherment of several paleographic experts, the lines on this bone artifact are actually a kind of oracle bone inscription, and the content is very strange, and it is linked to the desert, an ancient country that has disappeared for nearly two thousand years. ”

Everyone showed an expectant look, but when they heard such a conclusion, they didn't react for a while, and they were stunned on the spot. I thought strangely in my heart, Changsha and the desert? What is this? These two can be related, is it because both have the word "sand", Professor Sun's head is not broken, right?

Tan Jia was also inexplicable, and asked out loud: "How is it possible?" These two places are so far apart, how can they be implicated, could it be a mistake? ”

Professor Sun shook his head and explained, "I thought so before, but the content on the bone artifact says it all, the owner of the tomb in the underwater nest is from a once glorious country in the desert - the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”

This answer is too shocking, Loulan Ancient Kingdom? It was an ancient country with a touch of mystery and magic, a place that was once longed for by countless explorers. Sure enough, as I expected, everyone was surprised at once, and even Wu Jian, who had always bowed his head and was silent, raised his head at this moment, revealing an interested look.

Professor Sun had long expected this reaction, and he said with a smile: "The oracle bone inscription on the bone artifact is very obscure and difficult to understand, and after the interpretation of experts, it should mean 'Shanshan', 'monster', and 'immortal'." After carbon 14 testing, the age of this bronze box and bone artifact is about 4,000 years, which is a long time. ”

After the explanations of Professor Sun and Professor Zhang, we know why Professor Sun can be so sure that the owner of the underwater nest is from the ancient country of Loulan.

Shanshan: This is the common name of the ancient country of Loulan, which was used at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and later changed to Loulan. It is through the word Shanshan that those experts can conclude that the owner of the bone artifact has a relationship with the ancient state of Loulan.

The ancient kingdom of Loulan is one of the 36 ancient kingdoms in the great desert of Xinjiang, according to expert research, this country was established more than 2,000 years ago, located in the north of Ruoqiang County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China, west of Lop Nur, 7 kilometers south of the Peacock River, the entire ruins are scattered in the Yadan terrain on the west bank of Lop Nur.

In March 1900, Swedish explorer Sven Hedin traveled east along the Tarim River to the lower reaches of the Peacock River, in search of the elusive Lop Nur. On March 27, the expedition arrived at a mound. That's when something bad happened, and Sven Hedin discovered that the water they had brought was leaking a lot.

In an arid desert, the absence of water is equal to death. So they went in search of water, and the unbelievable scene happened, and an ancient city appeared before their eyes: there were walls, streets, houses, and even beacons. Sven Hedin excavated a large number of artifacts here, including coins, silk fabrics, grain, pottery, 36 pieces of paper with Chinese characters, 120 bamboo slips and several brushes.

After Sven Hedin returned to China, he handed over the artifacts to Himmler in Germany for appraisal. After identification, the lord of this ancient city was the famous ancient country Loulan, and the whole world was shocked for a while. Expeditions from many nations then flocked to the world in search of treasure and unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient kingdom.

Through the long-term unremitting efforts of historians and cultural relics scholars, the veil of mystery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan has been lifted. In 1979, the Xinjiang Institute of Archaeology organized the Loulan archaeological team to begin the investigation and investigation of the ancient road of the ancient city of Loulan. In the lower reaches of the Peacock River, which leads to the road to Loulan, the archaeological team discovered a large number of ancient tombs.

Several of the tombs have a strange and spectacular appearance: the tombs are surrounded by seven layers of thin, thick logs, and outside the circle are rows of trees that spread out on all sides in a radial shape. The whole shape is like a big sun, which can't help but make people have all kinds of mysterious associations. What exactly it means is still an open question.

The sensation has continued for many years, and to this day there are still a large number of explorers who venture into the desert, but things are often not as simple as they seem.

Someone once made statistics, starting from Sven Heding's discovery of the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there were no less than 1,000 explorers who went there before and after, but at least one-third of them disappeared in that desert, and when people found the bodies of the missing people, they were often dozens or even hundreds of miles away from Lop Nur, and things were simply weird to the extreme.

This incident caused a sensation for a while, making the world call Lop Nur the devil's delta on land, which can be imagined.

The strangeness of Lop Nur can be fully highlighted with obvious examples, which can be analyzed by the world.

In 1949, a plane flying from Chongqing to Dihua (Urumqi) disappeared in the sky over Shanshan County. In 1958, it was found in the east of Lop Nur, and all the people on board died.

In 1950, a guard of the People's Liberation Army's anti-bandit unit disappeared, and after more than 30 years, the geological team found his body in Hongliugou, which was more than 100 kilometers away from the accident site.

On June 17, 1980, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu disappeared during an investigation in Lop Nur, and the state dispatched planes, troops, and police dogs, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct a carpet search, but found nothing. In 2007, a dried corpse was finally found in Lop Nur, but in the end, after a tortuous DNA test, it was determined that the dried corpse was not Pengamu.

In the summer of 1995, three Milan farm workers went missing in a Beijing jeep to explore treasures in Lop Nur. Later explorers found the bodies of two of them 17 kilometers away from Loulan, the cause of death is unknown, and the whereabouts of the other are unknown.

In June 1996, Chinese explorer Yu Chunshun disappeared during a solo trekking expedition to Lop Nur. When his body was found by helicopter, the forensic medical examiner determined that he had been dead for five days, because he had deviated more than 15 kilometers from his original trajectory and could not find a water source, and eventually died of thirst. After his death, it was discovered that his head was facing in the direction of Shanghai, and Yu Chunshun was a Shanghainese.

The above examples are all real cases, of course, and there are more than these, but I will not describe them all here.

There are too many unsolved mysteries in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but is it really related to the bone artifacts we have discovered? I really don't believe it.

I have also read many reports on the affairs of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and if I remember correctly, experts generally believe that the ancient kingdom of Loulan was established about 2,000 years ago. As for the bone artifacts of the underwater nest, Professor Sun has just said, it is about 4,000 years, even if it is more than 3,000 years ago, it is more than 1,000 years different from the founding of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and then the problem arises.

Not only do I think so, but most people also think so, after all, the age difference between the two is too far apart, and it can't be related. Don't underestimate the gap in this era, if you don't treat it carefully, it is very likely that the original historical argument will be overturned.

Tan Jia's audience all objected to Professor Sun's point of view, and was silent at first, as if analyzing, and then said: "Maybe we are mistaken, maybe the word Shanshan on the bone artifact does not refer to Shanshan country in Xinjiang, but refers to a person's name, or the name of the tribe, which is still very likely." ”

Professor Zhang shook his head again and again, and he said: "When I got this news before, I also thought so, and later compared the characters on the bone artifact with the ancient characters of Loulan Kingdom, but the two are strikingly similar, so there can be no such coincidence." ”

Professor Zhang also said that no one knows the specific date of the establishment of Shanshanguo, and this statement more than 2,000 years ago is only an approximate estimate. You know, at the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, ancient corpses were found 3,800 years ago, and some were still 4,000 years ago, what does this mean?

It is said that Chinese archaeologists have found a large number of tombs in the lower reaches of the Peacock River in Xinjiang, some of which are more than 4,000 years old. The most famous is the version of the "Loulan Beauty", which once made a joke, and experts misjudged that the age of the female corpse was more than 6,000 years ago, which caused a strong shock in the world's archaeology.

This shows that in the ancient country of Loulan, there were actually tribes more than 4,000 years ago, although the name of the tribe cannot be examined, but it may also be Shanshan country. Perhaps, more than 4,000 years ago, there was a tribe there, and the name of the tribe was Shanshan, and then it took a long time to call it Loulan.
