Chapter 0284: Treasure Hunter
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Putting aside the childish and childish face who has a small temper, don't mention it.
Two One and Professor Donald exchanged words as they dug up the excavation site they were at with a shovel.
Professor Donald is a very funny and lively person, and he doesn't get along with each other at all because of the distance caused by the age gap, which is very different from the old-fashioned and serious style of Professor Xu.
Professor Donald is very fond of using Western humor to stir up the atmosphere, that is, the kind of pun that Westerners can laugh at when they hear a pig, and Orientals can listen to their hearts without fluctuating words.
It is also thanks to Eryi's linguistic ability that he can understand Professor Donald's jokes that are worse than cold jokes, and he can barely cooperate with him.
When the senior brothers of the Zhongshan archaeological team next to them passed by, they often turned their heads inexplicably to look at them who couldn't laugh at a pit of people, which was a difference in cultural and historical background, and it was not a matter of knowing Eagle language to be able to laugh.
It's as if the people of Huang Guo joked that they admired four men the most in their lives: Dong Yong, Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, and Luo Shiyi
Huang people will find it funny and smile, while foreigners who know Huang Chinese often have a confused face.
So to put it mildly, the second one did understand the origin of Professor Donald.
He himself is indeed a master of history and archaeology, but what he deserves attention is not in this regard, but in his other identity!
A registered member of the International Treasure Hunt Association, a veteran treasure hunter hired by several treasure hunting companies!
Treasure hunters, as mysterious as they sound, are called adventurers, explorers, explorers, treasure hunters, treasure hunters, or whatever, but they are not really a secretive profession.
Unlike tomb robbers, they are a licensed and legal profession with a formal organization and a well-established system of division of labor.
Because of the different national conditions, the people of Huang have the impression of the so-called "treasure hunters".
Probably stuck in the "Indiana Jones" appearance in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series of movies.
If I had to add one, it might be "Lara Crawford" from "Tomb Raider".
Because of the movie, this profession seems to be somewhat mysterious, and it always seems to be associated with words such as adventure, mysterious events, treasures, etc.
But in reality, this profession is far from as glamorous as imagined, because it is simply impossible to carry out the so-called treasure hunt alone, as in the movies.
This is an industry that requires a huge supply of funds, the support of a complete logistics team, and a large number of high-tech equipment and scientific detection technology.
Internationally, many well-known historians and archaeologists are invited to become registered members of the Treasure Hunt Society.
Become a different character in the system, using your vast knowledge and skills to find the lost treasures buried in hidden corners.
Behind them, there is a vast network of support that provides them with money, equipment, laws, and support for all kinds of operations.
One might feel that as historians and archaeologists, it is unethical to become a treasure hunter for profit.
But again, the national conditions are different, and the concepts are naturally different.
From another point of view, isn't the existence of treasure hunters a way to re-present those lost treasures to the world?
And the process of their treasure hunting is not a channel for archaeology and discovery?
Internationally, it is the interests that drive certain capital, and actively provide a large amount of funds and equipment for archaeological research, supporting archaeologists to explore and discover, and study the secrets hidden and buried in history.
There is demand for development, which also makes the archaeological technology of the West continue to develop.
Whether it is detection technology, archaeological equipment, excavation equipment and other fields, it must be far ahead of several levels in China.
As for the treasures of human civilization that are found, whether they are placed in museums for research and visit, or are included in the private collections of some wealthy people through auctions, it depends on how to think about it.
It is undeniable that the treasure hunt stories that Professor Donald casually told are indeed fascinating, and they also arouse the curiosity and strong interest of the second one.
Compared with the environment of foreign archaeological circles, domestic archaeologists often have to face all kinds of embarrassing problems.
For example, the scarcity of equipment, the slow development of technology, the low salary of the personnel in the archaeological system, and the boring and tiring work they are engaged in, etc., this may also be the reason why the number of people in the archaeology department is generally small.
It's human, isn't it?
If you don't really like and love this industry, how many people can resist the temptation of material things and persist for years with their ideals?
Professor Donald is a "2-Star Finder", a "1-Star Decryptor, a 1-Star Explorer, and a 1-Star Digger", and a total of 5-Star Treasure Hunter Hunters.
This has to explain the different division of labor among treasure hunters.
The job of the "discoverer" is to find any possible clues and analyze the possibility of the existence of the treasure by studying various historical materials and classics.
The job of the "decryptor" is to decipher the various doubts existing in these clues through his rich historical knowledge and language ability.
And the work of the "explorer" is naturally to find the location of these treasures according to the information provided by the "discoverer" and the "decryptor".
As for the "excavator", it goes without saying that it is a person who uses archaeological techniques to remove or salvage treasure from the burial site.
In this system, of course, there are not only so many roles, but even people from all walks of life may be involved.
As long as you participate in an action and make a contribution in the corresponding field, you will be able to earn the corresponding points and finally be awarded a star, so that you can enjoy different levels of benefits and intelligence channels in the International Treasure Hunt Association.
It can be said that the so-called "treasure hunters" are all elites from all walks of life, not that just an ordinary person can dig treasure with a hoe.
Two One was curiously asking Professor Donald about the Treasure Hunter, and Professor Donald was also learning about Two One's abilities bit by bit, and finally smiled and invited, "Eri, are you interested in becoming a 'decryptor'?"
"Decryptor?"
Er Yi was stunned: "Why not an explorer or an excavator?"
"Because your language skills and knowledge are amazing!"
Professor Donald smiled and said, "Rather than taking the risk of finding treasure yourself, maybe becoming a decipherer of ancient texts is more suitable for you!"
