During this period, living in the ancient country of Loulan was a group of ancient Indo-European tribes wandering in the East, they were the first to live in the Loulan area, with the most primitive totem worship culture, and later in the 3rd century BC when the whole tribe suffered a catastrophe and disappeared from Loulan, and this group of people is called the oldest Loulan people. It has nothing to do with the Loulan people who were later ruled by the Da Yue clan and the Xiongnu, and the 'sealing wall' we are looking for is the entrance to their lost ancient country, and it is not the same thing as the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan discovered by Sven Heding. ”

Zha Muque, who had been sitting next to him silently, added: "Later Loulan is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China was ruled by other ethnic groups such as the Dayue clan, and the people believe in Islam, although they disappeared from history in the early Tang Dynasty, but because of the existence of the Silk Road, the trade between the East and the West has to transit through here, so they are in frequent contact with the outside world." The ancient Indo-Europeans who believed in totem worship were hidden in the depths of the desert, and few people knew about their existence during the period from their appearance to their disappearance, and there were few records in ancient books, only those who lived in this Lop Nur knew about them. ”

Xiao's big lips opened his mouth and said, "I'm a little confused, but I understand." But no one can prove the existence of this lost ancient country, and the entrance to this ancient country you are talking about is still taken from the mythological paragraph, even if it is true, it is really unbelievable! ”

"After thousands of years, this story has been passed down by word of mouth, and it is inevitable that it will be mythologized. The paucity of records in ancient books makes the concept of this lost kingdom and the tribe of Indo-Europeans very vague, and the chances of acknowledging its existence are very small. But the emergence of the 'left-behind' people makes us want to believe in the existence of the ancient kingdom. Xue Jiao said.

Batur snorted and asked, "Do you mean the Lobu people by 'left-behind people'?" ”

"Of course not." Xue Jiao shook his head and said, "The Luobu people are the descendants of the Loulan people (Western Regions), although they are the original inhabitants of Lop Nur and are also known as the oldest ethnic group of the Uyghur people in Xinjiang, they are not a left-behind people. The Luo people first lived in Loulan, and later Loulan fell, they moved to Abdan Village, but after the Abdan Village dried up, they moved to the new Abdan Village, and the migration process continued for 150 years, and the Luo Bu people completely disappeared from Lop Nur. It stands to reason that Lop Nur is no longer inhabitable, but more than 100 years ago, more than 3,000 years ago, the 'left-behind people' who had suffered a catastrophe more than 3,000 years ago actually emerged from Lop Nur again, claiming to be the descendants of the Guloulan people, with the characteristics of the early Indo-European race, and they may now be the only people still living in the depths of the Lop Nur desert. ”

After Xue Jiao finished speaking, he groped out a black notebook from his military coat, Xiao Da Yan knew that this notebook Xue Jiao was very valuable, and every page was plastered with important information he had scavenged from various places. Xue Jiao flipped the notebook to the middle page, handed it to Xiao Dayi and said, "Look at this." ”

Where Xue Jiao's finger is is a black-and-white photo he cut out of a newspaper. The photograph is a man and a woman, a foreigner, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a felt hat on his head and a thick cotton coat. Next to him stood a very young woman, in her early twenties, with a beautiful countenance, dressed in fur, with long black hair reaching to her waist, and a pure and clean smile. Behind the two of them is the vast desert in the background, and next to the man is a camel sticking out half of its head, staring comically at the camera.

Xiao only glanced at it, and his brows furrowed. Although the men and women in the photo are smiling happily at the camera, there is an eerie atmosphere that makes him uncomfortable. The foreigner's face looks familiar, and after a few more glances, he recognized that this is the world-famous Swedish explorer Sven Heding, who began his exploration career at the age of 16, entered China for 5 expeditions, crossed the Taklamakan Desert twice, and discovered the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan for the first time on March 28, 1900, and his reputation is resounding all over the world, and even has the same reputation as Nobel.

And the woman standing next to Sven Heding, although she looks extremely beautiful, but her height is too scary, Sven Hedin stood side by side with her, it only reached her chest, although I don't know how tall Sven Hedin is, but it is not only one meter and five, if he is a normal height, then the woman next to him must be two meters.

Xiao grinned with big lips: "This woman is gigantism." ”

This was taken when Sven Hedin entered Lop Nur in 1896, and when it was published in the newspaper, the article said that Sven Hedin was the first to take a photo with the Lop Nur people living in the desert. In fact, he would never have known that he was photographed with the oldest Indo-European people of 'left-behind people'. ”
