The remains excavated in the F4 site shocked everyone at the entire archaeological site of the Lajia site.

Wave after wave, the leader of each archaeological institute brought his archaeologists to pay tribute to this mother's love that spanned 4,000 years.

At the same time, the results of the DNA test were also available quickly.

The remains excavated from the F4 site have a close matrilineal lineage, but are not matrilineal clan societies.

In addition, DNA tracing can determine that they are related to both modern Han Chinese and Tibeto-Burman people.

In other words, the ancestors in the Lajia ruins are indeed the direct ancestors of the modern Chinese.

And with the continuous advancement of the archaeological process.

Something happened that shocked the archaeologists on site even more.

More and more remains are being unearthed at the No. 1 construction site.

They are not lying in cemeteries or ash pits, as in other ruins, but are scattered in the squares, houses, streets, and under the walls.

Under the ruins of a city wall, archaeologists from the Henan Archaeological Institute also found a large number of remains.

Based on the shape and movement of the remains at the scene, it can be speculated that they should have been preparing to escape over the city wall, but unfortunately they did not survive in the end.

One of the skeletons lay on the ground with her arms outstretched, and archaeologists had cleared four or five boulders from her back, and beneath her body were the bones of two children.

This is another mother who protects her children under her body.

At the same time, I was once again moved and impressed by this mother's love that has lasted for 4,000 years and is still unchanged.

The archaeologists at the scene also had a doubt in their hearts.

What kind of sudden catastrophe did these ancestors of the Lajia family, who showed an unnatural death, suffer during their lifetime, so that they were buried in the soil layer in an instant?

Coincidentally, a place suddenly came to mind.

"Pompeii"!

Pompeii is an ancient city from the Roman period 2,000 years ago.

In 79 A.D., Pompeii was hit by a sudden catastrophe.

Vesuvius erupts!

The gushing magma and the volcanic ash flooded Pompeii at the foot of Mount Vesuvius in an instant.

The whole time of Pompeii was frozen in this moment.

It wasn't until 2,000 years later that it was discovered by archaeologists.

At that time, due to the burial of volcanic ash, the streets and houses of Pompeii were relatively intact, and the people wrapped in volcanic ash maintained the form of the moment of death, which was shocking!

Desperate, panicked, scared, helpless, dazed......

The remains of a human being swallowed by volcanic magma shook the world when it was unearthed!

Details such as the painful expressions, hairstyles and clothing of those who were buried 2,000 years ago are still clearly visible.

The excavation of the remains of Pompeii is undoubtedly very similar to the current skeleton situation of the Lajia site.

All of them were met with sudden and devastating disasters, and all of them were frozen in the moment when the entire city was destroyed.

Speaking of which, in the ruins of Pompeii, such an inscription was also found.

"Nothing lasts forever."

However, the ruins of Lajia, which is very similar to Pompeii, have told this descendant two thousand years later with facts.

There are still drops of things in this world that can exist forever.

For example, this maternal love has been flowing in human blood for thousands of years!

However, the destruction of the Lajia ruins is still very different from that of Pompeii.

Pompeii, because of the volcanic ash that was everywhere when it was unearthed, made it almost impossible to determine that the city was in the midst of destruction and volcanic eruptions.

However, the Lajia site was destroyed in an instant because of some disaster, and the archaeologists on the site still have no clue for the time being.

Even, this question may become a problem that will plague everyone for several years.

Archaeology, always like this, is accompanied by one question after another.

And it is not easy to unravel these buried secrets.

......

A month later.

The excavation of the Lajia site is progressing faster and faster, and more and more cultural relics and bones have been unearthed.

Moats, altars, tombs, squares, large housing sites, pottery areas......

Buildings and ruins of various prehistoric settlements have been discovered.

Chen Han and his team of four, after completing the excavation and finishing work of the F4 expedition, also moved to another expedition to continue the archaeological excavation work.

This time, Kong Wenjian arranged for them to explore the F20 side.

"F" starts with it, which naturally shows that the site in this exploration is still a house site.

In fact, important places such as altars, squares, and burial pits are not likely to be allocated to the four of them to excavate.

Their qualifications are still too shallow, except for Zhang Jianbo, who has been working in the field of archaeology for ten years.

The rest of Zhuang Yunpeng and Su Sa are both doctoral students.

Chen Han is a master's and doctoral student, and he doesn't have much practical experience.

So they had to find some sites to excavate.

Anyway, the largest proportion of the Lajia ruins is the house site, and now the house site found has been ranked to F40+.

Squatting in the F20 exploration square, Zhuang Yunpeng chatted with Chen Han while cleaning up the soil layer: "Hey, I don't know if the teacher's excavation on the side of the altar has made any heavyweight discoveries." ”

Chen Han, who was carefully cleaning a stone tool, was very bland: "If there is a heavyweight discovery, it will immediately cause a sensation on the entire construction site, and I won't know it when the time comes." ”

"Instead of caring about this, senior brother, you should care more about the work in front of us."

"I don't think this F20 site is ordinary."

"There are 12 pillar holes in three rows and four columns, with an area of about 30 square meters, which can be regarded as a big house in a prehistoric civilization."

"I have a hunch that we might find something good!"

I don't know why, after taking over this detective, Chen Han had an indescribable feeling, which can be said to be intuition, or it can be said that emotions are at work.

He just always felt that this probe was not simple.

It's just that it's not simple, but I don't have the slightest clue.

In the course of the excavation, the excavation of this house site is basically no different from other houses.

Many stoneware, bone tools, pottery, and lacquerware have been found, but they are not very precious, and a large number of similar cultural relics have been unearthed in other sites.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that Chen Han found a rectangular bag-shaped ash pit on the east side of the site.

Digging deeper into the pit revealed traces of wooden planks, suggesting that the pit was once used for storage.

This means that the ancestors of the Lajia family have initially mastered the "cellaring", which is a better way to preserve food for a long time!

However, Chen Han always subconsciously felt that there was something hidden at the F20 site, waiting for him to uncover it.
