Chapter 1: Mausoleum of the First Emperor
"The archaeological team of Mizuki University has found a mausoleum in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!"
A message from the Mizuki archaeological team.
It's like a thunderstorm on the ground, causing monstrous waves on the Internet!
Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
It has a great reputation in the field of Chinese archaeology.
The reason for this is the complex structure and mechanism in the mausoleum.
But now, a mausoleum has been found in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!
And.
The archaeological team of Mizuki University is broadcasting the archaeology live.
"The front is the mausoleum of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, and the characters inside cannot be determined for the time being, but judging from the complex tomb structure, the status should not be low."
The official live broadcast room of Mizuki University.
A host in civilian clothes is on his way to the mausoleum.
Entrance to the mausoleum.
A group of archaeologists are carrying instruments to investigate.
Qin Shi Huang.
The first emperor of China through the ages.
Due to the complex structure of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the progress of archaeological work has been stagnant.
Today's discovery of the mausoleum in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is a historic breakthrough, enough to be included in the textbook!
And netizens who are watching the live broadcast are fortunate to witness this historic moment.
Click!
A voice came into everyone's ears.
The door of the mausoleum slowly opened.
Even though the door has been opened, these archaeologists still dare not act rashly.
They took out gas testing equipment and took the lead in testing for the presence of toxic gases in the mausoleum.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After a round of testing of various instruments, the archaeological team officially determined that there was no danger and that it was possible to enter.
The videographer followed the archaeologist and cautiously entered the mausoleum.
Now.
Everyone was able to witness the whole picture of the mausoleum.
The whole mausoleum is circular, with a coffin in the middle, and the walls are full of words.
The archaeological team took out various instruments and tried to open the coffin.
After more than an hour of slow excavation.
The coffin was finally loosened.
The captain of the archaeological team breathed a sigh of relief.
Followed by.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the coffin was finally opened.
After the coffin is opened.
The stuff inside was unexpected.
Nothing but a bunch of bamboo slips!
I thought it was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.
But I never thought that there was only a bunch of bamboo slips inside.
"Turn the lights on."
The archaeologist at the head said to the assistant behind him with a serious expression.
The moment the lights come on.
The originally dim mausoleum became brighter.
The handwriting carved on the lid of the coffin also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The handwriting is like a couplet, which is arranged vertically on the lid of the coffin:
"Terran Emperor"
"Ancestor of All Paths"
The top handwriting is a name - "Heaven".
The bottom left corner.
There are also a few small words: "Politics is the emperor's record." β
These characters are typical of the small seals of the Qin Dynasty and are not difficult to understand.
In the live broadcast room, there was a lot of discussion.
"What does this mean? The Emperor of the Human Race, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Daos, do we have this person in China? β
"Isn't the upstairs stupid, don't you see the word 'sky' on the top? Obviously, this is a mausoleum built by the First Emperor for the heavens, so there are no burial goods in the coffin. β
"Indeed, it is more likely to be sacrificed to the heavens, and the bamboo slips inside should be the process of sacrificing to the heavens."
"Wait a minute, I feel that there is a loophole in your words, since it is 'heaven', why are you in the tomb? Who dared to bury the 'heavens' in the tombs in ancient times? β
"Stop arguing, look at the information on the bamboo slip."
β¦β¦
As the archaeological team carefully took out the bamboo slips and prepared to explore the puzzle, the audience in the live broadcast room stopped arguing.
One by one, they held their breath and stared.
Keep your eyes glued to the screen.
I want to see what is written on the bamboo slips.
An elderly archaeologist carefully brushed away the words on these bamboo slips, so that the handwriting on them could be seen again.
But, unexpectedly.
It doesn't record any events, but it's full of names.
The names "Nuwa", "Fuxi" and "Zhurong" appeared on the bamboo slips.
These names made everyone present and the audience in the live broadcast room very puzzled, could it be...... The First Emperor did not worship the heavens, but these human ancestors?
According to historical records, the first emperor did worship the ancestors of Emperor Shun and Dayu, and it is not surprising that the mausoleum is now built.
It's just that it doesn't match the emperor on the coffin.
According to historical records, the emperors of the First Emperor should be Li Si or Han Fei and LΓΌ Buwei, but it is clear that none of these three people can be compared with those recorded in the bamboo slips.
Have the mindset of exploring puzzles.
The archaeological team's goal was to place a written record on the wall.
The walls of the entire mausoleum are covered with words, and although they are covered with dust, they do not affect the inquiry.
The members of the archaeological team carried tools and quickly removed the dust from the walls.
The handwriting engraved on the wall catches everyone's eye.
[The 100th day of Advent to the Jungle.] γ
[It's hot and humid inside the jungle, I don't like it. γ
[Half an hour later, it snowed in the sky. γ
[I think it's cool, but my captive animals can't stand the cold and want to move their territory.] γ
[I rode my halberd dragon to migrate the territory, but on the way, I actually encountered a Tyrannosaurus rex raid. γ
[This Tyrannosaurus rex is huge, the body length is about more than ten meters, my pet halberd dragon is too small in front of him, in order not to let the pet feel inferior, I shoveled the Tyrannosaurus rex to the ground, while it fell to the ground, I tore him apart with my hands, ready to use it to make soup and drink. γ
[I found a lake nearby and hollowed out the bottom of the lake and used it as a cauldron, hoping to have a full meal. γ
[My experiment failed, I couldn't cook it at all, I could only barely eat raw dinosaur meat, and I didn't know if I could fill my stomach. γ
[After eating dinosaur meat, I took my pet to a different habitat. γ
[1 year, Li Tianji. γ
The handwriting on the first line came to an abrupt end.
The archaeologist was stunned.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned.
Because......
The depiction on the wall is actually in simplified Chinese?!
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that simplified characters could not have existed in ancient times.
Besides, ancient people actually knew the names of dinosaurs?
The name of Tyrannosaurus rex, which was named in 1910, means the overlord of dinosaurs.
Then again, why did the ancients named "Li Tian" know the name of the dinosaur and leave a diary in simplified Chinese?
In addition to the handwriting and name, the content is also very outrageous.
The lake at that time was not at the same level as it is now, but this person named "Li Tian" used the lake as a pot to cook dinosaur meat?
This is also an exaggeration.
Modern people don't dare to brag like that.
"Professor, take the liberty of asking, what does the handwriting on this wall mean?" The host cautiously approached the professor and asked.
"Well, I think it should be a tomb robber who sneaked into the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to carve the seal."
"As for how he came in, why he came in, and why he came in and carved the lettering, this needs to be further explored."
The old professor lifted the frame of his glasses and spoke slowly.
