Act I arrives

We drove for five days and finally arrived in Qingdao, Shandong.

Along the way, I was thinking, Qingdao is a tourist city, natural resources have been almost developed, there is basically no uninhabited land, where will there be ancient tombs for us to dig?

Chen Lei said that he didn't know much either, and his uncle gave the address without elaborating on the email.

We covered our weapons and equipment with a black cloth, then bought two large bags of compressed biscuits and canned food to press on them to camouflage, and parked the bus in the parking lot next to the hotel.

Chen Lei took us to the GreenTree Inn Hotel, almost right on the seaside. There are three of us in a standard room, the room is as small as my study, but the furniture is quite new.

I thought to myself: When will people who do such immoral things as digging graves start to live in hotels, can they directly drive excavators to dig in the future?

We rested in the hotel for two days and on the morning of the third day we set off with a big duffel bag on our backs and a hand bag.

The load was 15 kilograms, and everyone was sweating when they walked with a lot of water, food, and equipment; what was worse was that Chen Lei didn't know where the specific location was, so he could only use GPS to locate it according to the location where his uncle sent the email.

Walking and walking we walked to the sea, the trestle. It's a sight to behold, dating back to the 19th century, two centuries ago, when it was built to transport supplies.

The GPS positioning is set here, and the three of us look at each other, and we all feel incredible - Qingdao can be regarded as a city that never sleeps, and there are still people wandering around outside until the early hours of the morning, could it be that Chen Lei and his uncle will be invisible?

We walked along the sidewalk by the bridge, but we still didn't find anything, so we had to find a bench to sit down and rest.

Chen Lei opened his tablet and found the email sent to him by his uncle and looked at it carefully, trying to find any clues, while I closed my eyes and was still thinking about the Tianwu totem in my mind.

"Come and see. At this time, Bei Xixi, who had been watching the sea in a daze, suddenly came over, pulled me and Chen Lei up directly, and slipped to the guardrail. This woman's strength is so fucking great, I just thought about it a few words, but Bei Xixi's hand pointing down made me have to look away and then, speechless.

Looking along Bei Xixi's hand, I saw a shell floating in the sea area of about 30 meters.

It was hard to spot the shell if I didn't look closely, and when I put on my glasses, I could only see that it was very old, so I rented a yacht and drove to the sea to pick up the shell.

When we got back to shore, we looked around at the shell, which was already a little damaged and still stained with yellow mud.

"What do you say?" Chen Lei looked at the shell for a long time and couldn't understand it, so he had to hand Bei Xixi a questioning look.

"Have you ever heard of shell tombs? It was first excavated by the Japanese in the coastal areas of southern Liaoning, and more than 100 have been excavated. The shell tomb is a burial chamber made of oysters, conchs, clams, abalone shells, sea hats, etc. The practice is to dig the soil first, spread a layer of shells at the bottom of the tomb, erect wooden planks around it as coffins, cover the wooden planks after entering the tomb, stuff shellfish in the gaps, and then seal the soil. "The shell tomb existed before the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, and if it is a tomb from the Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, it is possible to unearth bronzes." ”

"And if the cemetery is located near the sea, it could be submerged by a tsunami or rising sea level. I said, and then turned to Chen Lei: "Your uncle didn't go to the ground, but to the water." There are ghosts when there is a signal underwater. ”

Chen Lei patted his head and shouted, it turned out to be like this, and his brows furrowed again - we have brought all the equipment and weapons, but we don't have diving equipment.

And the point is, if the cemetery is underwater, then a lot of equipment, especially firearms, can't be carried, and the devil knows what will happen if it goes down?

Act II hides the truth

I went back to the hotel in distress and went to rest. Chen Lei went out to buy diving equipment, while Pei Xixi continued to observe the terrain and the flow of passengers at the beach to formulate a diving plan that could avoid the eyes of tourists.

Now I'm the most idle, lying on a fairly spacious bed, and the TV is playing the summer drama Detective Conan.

I got bored when I looked at it, so I dug out the notes of my wife and grandfather, and wanted to continue to find out if there were any bronze coins. In fact, there are bronze coins in the notes, not only bronze coins, but also brass coins, but there are no coins engraved with animal motifs.

I flipped through the notes with one hand, and played with the bronze coin that Chen Lei gave me with the other, not to mention, this bronze coin is really a bit of a material, a little heavy and feels heavy? Why does it sink? The diameter is basically the same as that of ancient coins, and the central chisel hole is very small? The thickness is greater? I hit a spirit, take a closer look, damn it, this bronze coin is not a coin!

It dawned on me that the ancient round square-hole coins began in the Spring and Autumn Period and lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty – but without exception, all coins had a square carved out of the center to represent the round sky.

But this bronze coin does not have a square hole, or rather, it has a hole that is unusually small, and can only be passed through with a string, which is much smaller than a square hole! Moreover, its thickness is by no means a normal Tongbao coin or a square hole coin! That is, it is not a coin! No wonder I can't find it, because I'm looking in the wrong direction!

If it's not a coin, then what is it?

Sacrificial utensils!

I quickly flipped to the content of the note about the sacrifice, took a cursory look, and sure enough, there was a record of the bronze coin of this carved animal!

According to Mrs. Grandpa's statement, this bronze coin is not actually cast in bronze, but a type of jade wall, which is used for sacrifices. As for why the bronze is wrapped, the notes are also very vague, I remember that there is now an excavation of a gold-clad bronze shell coin, that there is a "copper-clad jade wall" is also reasonable, maybe this jade wall was made in the late Jade Age to the early Bronze Age, the maker belongs to the jade manufacturing industry is very developed, and bronze casting has just started, bronze should be a more valuable thing, so that the principle of copper-clad jade wall and gold-clad bronze shell coins should be the same.

However, the late Jade Age was about 4,000 years ago, and the most developed jade manufacturing should be the ancient kingdom of Liangzhu in the Taihu Lake Basin, could it be that this jade wall was excavated in the Yangtze River Basin? Or was it that the ancient kingdom of Liangzhu traded with the tribes of the Yellow River valley at that time, and was minted by the tribes of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors after bartering as a sacrificial offering?

The carving on this jade wall can be an eagle or a tiger, which means that the object of sacrifice is definitely not a person, but something in mythology

Ancestral witches.

I immediately thought of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were sacrificing the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Only the sacrifices of the Twelve Ancestral Witches could resist the heavy acceleration they caused. I'm reminded of the Ugarit Clay Tablet – or, the Thunderhammer of the Gods, an illusionary book engraved with the names of ancient gods, praising the Ugaritto of Kanann and resisting lightning attacks. Praise is because of fear, and because of fear there is resistance, and the object of praise and resistance is the same and not contradictory.

Although it is clear that the jade wall is used to worship the ancestral witch, it is still impossible to determine whether the jade wall and the evil wheel come from the same place and where they come from. You must know that the twelve ancestral witches, each ancestral witch's country is located in a different direction, if it is Tianwu, in addition to the more certain in the Valley of the Rising Sun (Colorado Grand Canyon), I checked and also said that it is not only the totem of the Wu people, but also the totem of the Xia people at the end of the Five Emperors, and it is the image of Dayu after deification, just like his son Qi, who was shaped into the image of the nine tigers in charge of Kunlun. Dayu's hometown is in Xirong, and he can't play together with Shandong Baganzi (1).

Now the more reasonable research is that Tianwu is in the Grand Canyon of Colorado, and Dayu is actually the pharaoh Menes of ancient Egypt, you must know that there is no tiger in ancient Egypt, there are only lions, Dayu and Tianwu basically have no relationship. If you want to talk about totems, Dayu should also be a scorpion, not a tiger.

Therefore, it is obvious that in the era after the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the sense of geographical orientation of the ancients was very vague, and they could not escape the scope of the Central Plains and the Four Yis. If you want to push it from ancient books, it's just a fantasy.

So the key is to analyze the mural from the perspective of global geography.

Shandong belongs to Dongyi in ancient times, the bird and phoenix totem is the most common, and two of the twelve ancestors are the image of birds, among which the guy called Gongzi is covered in black hair, no one knows as if it is the tribe of ancient England; Some people think it is in Shandong, and some people think it is in Mexico. Mexico has a tropical rainforest climate, tall trees, and the Fuso recorded in ancient books are all like Optimus Prime, but there is some basis.

However, I secretly complained in my heart, do I have to go to Mexico to dig graves? Don't be funny, I have been to Mexico before, and the protection measures for people's ancient tombs are much stricter than ours, and Mexico will not give up any heritage of the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization, and if you trespass into the forbidden land, you will not be in prison for the rest of your life.

The key question is that we have not entered the ancient tomb so far, and it is still unknown whether there are twelve ancestors and witches on the mural or only Tianwu. As long as I can see all the frescoes, I can deduce which dynasty this tomb belongs to.

After Chen Lei and Bei Xixi came back, I told them my thoughts, and several people studied it for another night.

Bei Xixi figured out the flow of tourists near the pier, but Chen Lei's equipment had not yet been bought, and some of them needed to be purchased online, so we stayed in the hotel for another day.

——————————————————————————————————————

(can be skipped) 1, strictly speaking, this has no basis.

In 1898, the famous Narmai palette was discovered in Hierakonpolis. On this palette, Narmai wears a hat representing Upper and Lower Egypt, which is theorized to have been the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in the 31st century BCE. But Menes has long been considered the one who unified Upper and Lower Egypt, and he was also the first king in the table of the kings of Maneto, so the discovery of the Narmai palette has caused some controversy.

Some Egyptologists believe that Menes and Narmer were the same person, others believe that Menes was actually Hol-Aha who inherited a unified Egypt from Narmer, and others believe that Narmer began the process of unifying Egypt, but he did not succeed or only partially succeeded, and that the rest of the unification process was done by Menes. The view of some scholars that Menes and Narmai are the same is based on the presence of several excavated pottery vessels representing Narmer, the hieroglyphic symbol of the legendary king, MN. On a pottery tablet excavated in Nahar Tiraha, the "façade of the palace" of King Narmer was found, in which five royal names of the Egyptian king appeared, one of which contained the symbol mn (i.e., Menes), and then connected to the Horusian title "Narmer". It can be inferred from this that Menes' royal name included Narmai. However, there are also contradictions in the various accounts of the pottery shards mentioning Menes, making it impossible to confirm their true identity. Another equally convincing theory is that Narmer was the direct heir of a king who succeeded in unifying Egypt (probably the Scorpion King, whose name is also found on pottery excavated in Yerakonpolis), and that the unified Upper and Lower Egyptian symbols used were handed down from the previous generation. More recently, the royal watches found in the tomb of Pharaoh Deng and Ka of the First Dynasty list Narmer as the founder of the dynasty, succeeded by Hol Aha (which does not mention Menes). It is believed that Narmai's wife was Nashotep A, a princess of northern Egypt, and an inscription bearing her name was found in the tomb of Narmer's successors, Hol-Aha and Zhel. This suggests that she may be Hol Aha's mother.

Phonetically, the royal name of Narmai is made up of hieroglyphic symbols representing catfish (n'r) and chisel (mr). Modern variants of his name include "Hornarmeru" or "Hormerinar", but it is customary for academic conferences to refer to Narmerinar.

The mausoleum of Narmai was discovered in the um Kabo area of Abydos and consisted of two connected burial chambers, adjacent to the mausoleum of Ka, the ruler of the city of Tinis before it.

In the summer of 1994, excavators from the Nahar Tiraha expedition discovered a shard of inscribed pottery in southern Israel, on which the king's name, also known as "Narmay", was recorded. Archaeologists have identified this person as the one mentioned by James E. Kuibert in the Narmai palette found in Upper Egypt. The inscription was found on a large circular platform, which may have been the site of a storage warehouse. Mineralogical identification has led to the determination that the pottery shard is a fragment of a wine urn that was introduced to Israel from the Nile Valley in 3000 BC. Archaeologists have also discovered pottery from southern Canaan that was introduced to Egypt and bears the name of the king of Narman.

Menes is believed to be the first ruler to unify ancient Egypt. He is credited with founding the First Dynasty of Ancient Egypt before 3100 BC. Like Romulus in ancient Rome, Menes is regarded as the founder of ancient Egyptian history.

According to ancient Egyptian legend, it was a pharaoh named Menes who united Upper and Lower Egypt into a centralized state. However, the name does not appear on the surviving royal watches (Cairo fragments and Palermo stones), which are inscribed on a Fifth Dynasty stele. As the first ruler of Egypt, Menes only appeared in later historical sources. According to Maneto's History of Egypt (Aegyptiaca), ancient Egypt was first a dynasty of gods, then a dynasty of gods and the dead, and then a dynasty of men, in which Menes was the first king. In the case of the two kingly watches of the Nineteenth Dynasty (13th century BCE) (the List of the Kings of Abydos and the List of the Kings of Turin), the names recorded are "Meni", while the Egyptian historian Maneto of the 3rd century BC calls him "Menes", the Greek historian Herodotus of the 5th century BC calls the first Egyptian pharaoh "Min", and Theodorus of Sicily calls it Menas. Menes also appeared in popular fiction during the Greco-Roman period, indicating that he was regarded as an important figure in his later period. Menes also credits the establishment of Memphis as the capital of Egypt. According to Maneto, Menes reigned for a total of 62 years, and in the end he was killed by a hippopotamus.

Discovered at the end of the 19th century, the Narmai palette depicts the then unknown pharaoh Narmer, probably dating earlier than Menes, and shows that Narmer wields his head against the enemy, as well as wearing a red and white crown representing Upper and Lower Egypt. Some scholars believe that Narmai (or his successor, Hol-Aha) and Menes are the same person. There are also scholars who believe that Menes inherited the empire from Narmer, who had already unified Egypt, while others believe that Menes was the one who completed the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, and that Narmer only began the process of unification, which may have been incomplete or only partially successful. In any case, there is plenty of archaeological evidence for the existence of such a pharaoh as Narmai, and the only evidence for the existence of Menes is to find an ivory tablet found in a necropolis in Naqada with the names of the two goddesses.

It is generally suspected that Menes was either one of Narmer's names, Narmer's previous pharaoh, or the same person as Narmer's successor, Hor-Aha. Some also believe that Menes was a legend created by the Egyptians, while others believe that Narmer was Menes' father. Scholars have not been able to confirm Menes' identity for two reasons, one is that Menes' name is not found in the contemporaries, and the other is that the tombs of other kings of the early royal period, such as Hol-Aha and Zer, have been found in Abydos, but the tombs belonging to Menes have not been found to this day.

Now some people believe that Narmai is Kun, and Menes is Yu.

It's not funny.

In response to the confusion of Western archaeologists, combined with Chinese sources, it can now be assumed that the judgment that Narmai was Menes' father is correct. Narmai is Dayu's father, and Menes is Dayu. The evidence is simple, Narmay's name is unmistakably Kun:

"Kun" is a kind of big fish in the ancient book "Jade Chapter, Fish Department", Tu Benjian "Fujian Zhonghai Wrong Sparse Scales": "Horse shark, blue spotted, scaleless and toothless, also known as Zhangyu." ”。 The pronunciation of modern standard Chinese is the same as "roll". The royal name of Narmai is made up of hieroglyphic symbols representing catfish and "chisels". The cangs are composed of these two symbols, and the right part is a pictogram depiction of a chisel. Personally, I judge that this thing may not be a "chisel", but may be the sekhem scepter: the sekhem scepter unearthed from Tutankhamun's tomb.

The sculpture of Menes' head is just in line with the description of Dayu's image in ancient Chinese books: "The Bamboo Book Chronicle" volume: "(Emperor Yu) mother said that he was ...... The back is cut and born in the stone. Tiger nose and big mouth, two ears ginseng [cānlòu]. "Huainanzi Xuwu Xun": "Yu ear ginseng leakage, it is called Datong." "High temptation note: "Ginseng, three; "Song Shu Fu Rui Zhi I": "(Yu) tiger nose and big mouth, two ears are engraved. Judging from Menes' head, the description of the tiger's nose and mouth is very vivid, and what the "two ears are carved" looks like, you can know it by looking at his ears.

WIJI on the Chinese side of the record: 鲧, the word Xi. The descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the fifth grandson of Zhuan, the father of Dayu, Feng Chongbo. The "Collection of Historical Records" and the "Historical Records of Justice" believe that 鲧 is also called 梼杌 (táowù); It refers to the human being of Kun. During Yao's reign, the flood was rampant and the people were struggling to make a living, so Yao sent him to control the flood, and he blocked the flood with stones and mud, which only made the flood even more flooding. Later, after Yao passed the throne to Shun, Kun was executed by Emperor Shun, and it is said that he was exiled, so that he died in a foreign land, and Yu continued the work of controlling the water. It is also believed that Kun was killed by Yao, which can be seen in "Han Feizi"'s "The Foreign Reserve Says the Right Upper Right: Yao wants to spread the world to Shun. He said: "Ominous! Who will spread it to the world and spread it to the horse?" Yao did not listen, and raised troops to kill Kun on the outskirts of Yushan. In mythology, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" recorded: "The flood was monstrous, and the emperor stole the emperor's breath to flood the soil, and did not wait for the emperor's life, and the emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill the cangs in the suburbs of Yu." The belly of the carp was born Yu, and the emperor ordered Yu to spread the soil to set Kyushu. According to the record of Qu Yuan's "Tianwen", the body did not decompose for three years after his death. Legend has it that Kun made farming tools and tamed them. Kun is also the creator of the castle. "Lü's Spring and Autumn Junshou" says: "Xia Cang is the city. ”

According to this information, archaeologists have found a shard of inscribed pottery in southern Israel that bears the name of the king also known as "Narmay", and archaeologists have also found pottery from Canaan in the south and introduced to Egypt that bears the name of the king of Narmai.

According to Chinese records, the emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill the cangs in the suburbs of Yu, and the "Historical Records" recorded that "the cangs were killed in Yushan to change the Dongyi". From this, it can be concluded that Narmai was killed in the Canaan region of southern Israel, and its original name was Yushan. The name of Houyi, which Dongyi is good at shooting, may also be related to Yushan. The Canaan region is the gateway to Egypt near the valley of the two rivers, so "it was destroyed in the Feather Mountains to become Dongyi". The tomb of Narmai found in the um Kabo area of Abydos, Egypt, is likely to be a tomb built by later generations, and Qu Yuan's "Nine Rules, Why Tomb?" can reflect this mentality.

On the question of the unification of Egypt, according to Chinese records it is clear that it was the Yellow Emperor, not Menes (Yu) or Narmai (Kun), who simply inherited.

Regarding the Scorpion King I and the Scorpion King II, the Scorpion King I should still correspond to the Yellow Emperor, and what is the relationship between the Scorpion King II and Menes (Yu) or Narmai (Kun) still needs to be studied, perhaps another of the five emperors (Yellow Emperor, Zhuan, Emperor Yu, Yao, Shun).

The tomb of Menes (Yu) was not found in the Abydos cemetery, and it is precisely because his tomb has not been found that Western scholars have always doubted whether there is such a person as Menes. However, it is undoubtedly great news for the Chinese side! The Chinese record records that Yu traveled east in the tenth year of his reign and died after arriving at Huiji (the Zhushu chronicle is recorded as forty-five years). Huangfu Mi thought that Yu was about 100 years old. After Yu's death, his son Qi succeeded to the throne of Xia Dynasty. It is very likely that the real situation seems to be that Dayu died when he traveled the world in the tenth year of his reign and arrived in the area of Huiji, Zhejiang, China (an overseas colony of ancient Egypt), and then was buried in Huiji on the spot! Dayu's tomb is really in Huiji, Zhejiang, China! Dayu Mausoleum is located at the foot of Huiji Mountain in the southeast suburbs of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and is composed of three major building complexes: Yu Tomb, Yu Temple, and Yu Temple. After the recovery of the country, the young Kang son of Dayu Miao was sealed in Huiji, enshrined Dayu, and created the Yue country. And the king of Shang also belonged to Dayu. In Yuling Village, Shaoxing, the descendants of Xia Yu's surname have been Yu Shouling for generations.

Comparing some sources, it can be found that the ancient Yue script is completely an ancient Egyptian script.
