Chapter 453: A Disappearing Human Race
Before we could react, my cousin said leisurely: "I thought about it for a long time last night, and I felt more and more that there may be some kind of connection between that ancient tomb, the crater, and all kinds of strange phenomena in the mountains, and even the blind man. ”
We were shocked and confused by my cousin's words, and we also had a kind of heartfelt admiration - it seems that my cousin's depth of vision is indeed not on the same level as ours, and these seemingly unrelated things can be connected by him.
At this moment, even the madman six can't figure out what his cousin said, let alone us.
We all know that my cousin is an expert in literature and history, especially for the local history of our place, the depth and breadth of research are unparalleled. Therefore, for many phenomena, he can always see more far-reaching and profound from a historical perspective.
"When did you call that ancient tomb? I've been here for a few years, so I've never heard of a big tomb nearby, and I've never seen anyone from the archaeological institute come to investigate," Mr. Chen asked suspiciously.
My cousin sighed and said: "This ancient tomb is more special, many ancient tombs can be judged according to the inscriptions and unearthed cultural relics, the approximate age can be determined, but this ancient tomb is not, there are only some words in it, and these words are a kind of writing that appeared earlier than the oracle bone inscription, that is to say, the age of this ancient tomb is very old, it may be a prehistoric civilization." ”
"The tombs of prehistoric civilizations? I really have never heard of it, prehistoric civilization is earlier than primitive society, with that kind of primitive organizational ability, how can we mobilize large-scale manpower and material resources to build this kind of tomb? And, with the level of technology at that time, how to dig mountains and break rocks in the mountains? ”
Mr. Chen is worthy of doing research, and these questions sound very logical.
After listening to this, my cousin nodded with a smile and said: "Ha, your questions are quite professional, and they are very universal and representative, and it is precisely this kind of question that leads to the controversy of this ancient tomb, and it has not been taken seriously, let alone studied it, so this ancient tomb has gradually been forgotten, so it is normal for you to live here for so long and not know about this ancient tomb." ”
"Then how do you know if it's an ancient tomb or a prehistoric tomb?" Hearing that his cousin did not answer his questions, Mr. Chen became even more curious.
The cousin was still not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and then said slowly: "In fact, prehistoric civilization is not as primitive and backward as most people think, and many crafts and technologies at that time have reached a very high level, which can be confirmed from the unearthed buildings and utensils.
There are also many historians who believe that human civilization is cyclical, and before the emergence of our civilization, there was a higher level of civilization, but for some reason it became extinct.
I won't talk about so many theories, just one thing.
As early as during the Cultural Revolution, in our provincial archaeological institute, there was an old expert with a few students who came here to investigate, and found seven or eight white bones in a strange cave.
At first, they thought it was an ordinary human bone, because from a distance, those white bones were very similar to ordinary human bones, but when they got closer and looked closer, they were shocked to find that the structure of those white bones was very different from the structure of people - the skull of the gate was triangular, and the shape of the facial features was also very different from that of modern people, especially the fingers and toes, which were very slender, but the whole body shape was still relatively close to that of people.
On each white bone, there is a nameplate with some strange words on it.
This kind of special white bones made the old expert extremely shocked and excited, and he suddenly realized that this might be another kind of human being.
In fact, it is generally believed in the historiography that before the emergence of human beings, there was another species of human beings on the earth, called Neanderthals, but for unknown reasons, this early human being, later became extinct. But this Neanderthal, and humans have coexisted on the earth for more than 5,000 years, and some anthropologists believe that they have interbred with humans, and many modern humans have Neanderthal genes.
Therefore, the old experts believe that the white bones they found are neither modern human nor Neanderthals, but a human race that has never been discovered by anthropology and history.
And this discovery is bound to shake the whole world.
So, the old expert and a few students carefully transported those special white bones out.
But it was a ** era, the institute could not operate normally at all, but engaged in campaigns and criticism all day long, and the old experts were soon regarded as reactionary academic authorities and were violently criticized, and the seven or eight white bones were gone, and not even a photo was left.
After the Cultural Revolution, the relevant departments attached great importance to this matter and set up a special expert group to investigate, but in the end it was fruitless. Because there is no tangible evidence, this matter is slowly forgotten as time passes.
But the old expert has always been obsessed with this matter, when I met him, he was in his seventies, retired at home, living in a house divided by the unit, next to my dormitory at the time, he told me about it many times, and it seemed that I was the only one who was interested in what he said.
Later, I decided to come to this area alone to investigate, in fact, the first few times I came here, I didn't find the tomb, but I saw this crater, I was shocked and curious, I went back to check a lot of historical materials, I wanted to know more about it, but in the process of checking historical materials, I found one after another extremely strange secrets.
As for the age of the meteorite's landing, it is impossible to find out in the historical data.
The earliest record of this meteorite, appeared in the Han Dynasty, when people said that this meteorite landed here, I don't know how many years, according to the word of mouth from generation to generation, it is said that tens of millions of years ago, there was a very large meteorite, landed in our area, and caused a fire in the mountains, it turned out that the mountains here, all covered with dense forests, and in the forest, there are many countless lakes, in these forests and lakes, there is a special tribe living, it is said that the people of this tribe are very different from the appearance of ordinary people, And they live both on land and in water, and they are good at building caves.
But when the meteorite fell, the strong impact caused the mountains to shake, and it also caused a raging fire, which burned for hundreds of days and nights, and all the forests on the mountains were burned down, and the lakes in them dried up, and the forests, that particular tribe, disappeared forever.
Not only that, but since the meteorite landed, the mountain, which was originally a normal mountain, has become strange, and many incredible phenomena have appeared, such as many places in the mountain, cracks that can open and close automatically, and sometimes from the mountain, there will be a sound like a woman moaning.
Moreover, since then, some special exotic flowers and plants will grow in the mountains, and strange beasts that cannot be seen elsewhere have also appeared in the mountains.
This legend should have been quite popular in the Han Dynasty, so it was recorded in the history books. But for me, the breakthrough discovery was after looking at the archives of the Japanese army.
We captured most of the archives of the Japanese army, because the Japanese army was defeated in a hurry, and before they could be transported back, we seized them and sealed them in the archives of Zài Province.
When I was reading these Japanese military archives at that time, there were almost no people who had seen these files, and I made several reports to my superiors before they were approved, and I also signed a confidentiality agreement at that time, of course, the term of these confidentiality agreements should have passed a long time ago, so it doesn't matter if I say it now, and I was specially assigned a Japanese secretary to translate these Japanese archives at that time.
It was from these top-secret archives of the Japanese army that I discovered an astonishing secret - it turned out that there was a mysterious tomb in the nearby mountain peak.
And this tomb was discovered by the Japanese army when they were building fortifications in the mountains.
When the Japanese army surveyed the terrain in this area, they found a strange phenomenon, as soon as they arrived, all the compasses would fail, not only the compass would fail, but even the transmitter could not work properly, and later, they found that this was all due to the characteristics of the stones here -- because the content of stones and magnetic ore in the mountains here was extremely high.
But what shocked the Japanese army even more was that there was an extremely strange phenomenon on the mountain peaks in this area -- that is, when our Chinese fighters flew up and dropped bombs down, the bombs would never fall on the mountain peaks, but always as if they were under a special thrust, and one bomb after another would be 'pushed' into the valley, and no matter how you aim, the bombs would not explode on the peaks.
Not only bombs, but also shells - shells that hit the peaks of the mountains are always pushed away by a mysterious force, and cannot fall on the peaks, but can only fall into the valley and explode.
This made the Japanese overjoyed, and they felt that the gods were protecting them, and that the nearby peaks were their blessed land - although they could not communicate with the outside world by radio in Guò, they could use carrier pigeons.
As a result, the Japanese army began to prepare to build permanent fortifications in these "invulnerable" peaks as their permanent bases.
And when they made a hole in the mountain, they found that there were already unusually large caves in the mountain, and in these caves, there were many white bones, as if it was a huge tomb, but what was even stranger was that the shape of these white bones was very strange, as for what shape it was, I had just said.
However, the Japanese soldiers were very ignorant and had no idea how valuable these bones were, so they collected them, poured gasoline on them, and burned them. The bones found by the old experts were those that survived after being burned by the Japanese army, and perhaps the bones were not found by the Japanese army at that time.
At that time, when encountering this strange phenomenon, our Chinese army was also very frightened, I don't know why these peaks seemed to be covered by invisible protective covers, and artillery shells and bombs could not be hit, we thought that the Japanese army had developed a new protection technology.
Later, a team of experts from the United States was mobilized to conduct field research and research, and after studying the experts, they came to a conclusion that the special magnetic fields and air currents of these peaks may have caused this effect.
But no matter how miraculous these peaks are, they can't save the fate of the Japanese army, since they can't attack, then besiege them, cut off all your external supplies, and let you starve to death inside, so our troops, through a few months of siege, trapped all the Japanese troops in the mountain peaks inside. ”
After listening to my cousin's story, everyone's mouth opened in shock, what he said seemed to be mysterious stories and legends, but for those of us who have experienced it firsthand, these are so reasonable.
We still remember the magnetic field in that cave, and the huge wind force in it, and this huge magnetic field and wind force may really form a special "protective layer" on the outside of the mountain, so as to push away the bombs and shells that are going to fall on it.
This is amazing, this kind of "protective layer" of the mountain peak, is not related to the meteorite landing - the tribe in the mountain, after the meteorite landing, brought a huge fire, those who survived, built a special cave in the mountain, so that outside the peak, formed a special magnetic and wind field, so that any heavy objects, can not fall on it, in case the disaster caused by the meteorite fall does not happen again. "It's still Xiao Lei's quick thinking.
