Chapter 65: Red Stone (Asking for Votes...... )
"We wanted to ask you about the original discovery of the tomb, but because you were hospitalized and we heard that there had been another homicide in the hospital, we let it go. Wen Jiakai explained.
Shen Jiming nodded a little embarrassed, it is estimated that the archaeological team also knew that Shen Jiming was involved in Su Meimei's murder case before giving up learning about the situation from him.
"Professor Wen, I came today to tell you about the initial discovery of the ancient tomb, and I also hope that my news will be of some help to your archaeological research. Shen Jiming said.
"Did Xiao Shen discover something in the first place?" Wen Jiakai's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Hmm!" Shen Jiming nodded, took out his mobile phone, turned it on, brought up a video, handed it over, and said, "Professor Wen, this is a video I took when I first discovered the ancient tomb, you can take a look first!"
"Okay!" Wen Jiakai excitedly took his phone and carefully watched the video, which was only about two minutes long, especially the close-up of the lines and symbols on the broken stone slab given by Shen Jiming on it.
"Xiao Shen, this video of yours is very valuable and has provided great help to our research!" Wen Jiakai shook Shen Jiming's hand excitedly again after watching it.
"Although you called the police in a timely manner, but the damage to the ancient tomb on the construction site is still very serious, we have not found these slate slabs on your video until now, it should have been completely dug up by the people of Jiutai Hengchang with an excavator, and the outer layer of the tomb is almost all dug up and transported away with the muck, and the remaining part is also completely covered by the backfilled muck, so the tomb is also seriously damaged, and when we excavate it for the second time, it is completely impossible to restore the original situation......," Wen Jiakai said with regret on his face.
"Professor Wen, can I go to the location of the tomb again?" Shen Jiming asked tentatively.
"Of course, Xiao Shen, you are the first person to discover and arrive at the scene, your guidance is very helpful for our next research, let's go, I'll take you there!" Professor Wen picked up a hard hat from the table and put it on, and also gave Shen Jiming one.
There are more than a dozen people still working in the steel plastic greenhouse.
At the beginning, the big pit had been dug up to form a step-shaped pit with a radius of nearly 200 square meters.
The central location of the pit is the location of the tomb.
The tomb is seven or eight meters long and four or five meters wide, just like a room, but it is really seriously damaged, a large number of blue-black tomb bricks are gone, only the earth wall that has been excavated now, and there are still a few broken stone slabs lying in different positions in the tomb.
Accompanied by Professor Wen, Shen Jiming walked around the grave, and then, based on his own recollections, pointed out what the tomb looked like when it was first dug out, the location of the scattered blue bricks, the location of several cracked stone slabs, and the location and depth of the tomb.
Professor Wen listened carefully, and a young woman wearing a hard hat next to him also listened while writing quickly on a small notebook in her hand, and at the same time sketched out a sketch and handed it over, "Do you see if this was the way it was at the beginning?"
Shen Jiming took it and glanced at it, nodded and said, "That's roughly what it looks like!"
"By the way, Professor Wen, what is the age of this tomb, and what do the symbols and lines on those stone slabs represent?" Shen Jiming couldn't help but ask when he walked to the bottom of the tomb and looked at a broken stone slab marked with a number.
Professor Wen shook his head and said, "The age is not completely certain now, the geological age is tens of thousands of years ago, but the carbon 14 examination is very different, it seems to be millions of years old......."
"How is this possible?" Shen Jiming looked demented.
Even if he is an archaeological idiot, he knows that the real recorded history of mankind is only a few thousand years, and it is all legends tens of thousands of years ago, and how could people tens of thousands of years ago have such masonry tombs, let alone these exquisite lines and symbols on them.
"So, the research value of this ancient tomb is too great!" Professor Wen sighed, "If the age of this ancient tomb can really be determined, then it can almost overturn the current human history." ”
"Old Wen, who is this young man?"
As the two stood at the bottom of the grave and talked, an old man wearing a hard hat and mud-stained work clothes approached, carrying a small shovel and a small brush.
"Lao Bai, this is Xiao Shen, this ancient tomb is the first one he discovered and reported!"
Professor Wen introduced it and explained the reason why Shen Jiming came, and suddenly the old man named Bai Yunlan was also interested, asked Shen Jiming's mobile phone to watch the video, and excitedly dropped the things in his hand and said: "Let's go, let people get the videos and photos into the computer and study them carefully, these materials are too precious!"
And several nearby archaeological team members who were working were also attracted to it, and then everyone in the plastic shed knew, so a group of people surrounded Shen Jiming and returned to the board house.
The composition of this archaeological team is more complex, and the level is very high, the joint archaeological team established by the national, provincial and municipal three-level cultural relics departments, Professor Wen is a professor of archaeology at Peking University, and is also the most famous archaeological expert in China, and Bai Yunlan is a professor of the Department of Archaeology of Sichuan University, and is also a well-known expert in paleographic research in China。
A group of people gathered around the room, watching the video taken by Shen Jiming through the large flat-screen HDTV hanging on the wall, constantly discussing the information that appeared on it.
"Professor Wen, I wonder if you have dug up anything strange or suspicious from the tomb?" asked Shen Jiming outside the board room.
Wen Jiakai was silent for a moment and nodded: "Xiao Shen, these things were originally in a state of strict secrecy, but you were the first person to discover the ancient tomb, and this time you provided us with very precious video materials, I can let you visit it, but remember not to pass it on." ”
Shen Jiming nodded hurriedly, and then followed Professor Wen to another room on the second floor, where there were several glass cabinets with constant temperature and humidity, and there were some excavated things in the cabinets, one of which was angular, like a very neatly cut diamond-shaped hexahedron placed in a cabinet alone, like a red gem, although there was no light, but when Shen Jiming's eyes fell on it, he actually felt that the white light in his head began to stir, emitting a light like a flame.
"What kind of stone is this, how does it look like a ruby?" asked Shen Jiming as he endured the throbbing in his heart.
"It should be a ruby, but if it is really an object from tens of thousands of years ago, it is too unbelievable, we have accurately measured the size of each side of this stone, and this cutting and polishing process will not be more perfect than this even if it is processed with a modern computer-controlled cutting machine!" Professor Wen nodded.
