Chapter 395: The Old Key
At the headquarters of the United Nations Scientific Research Station in the New World, on the base that covers an extremely large area and is full of science fiction style, the propellers of helicopters make a roaring sound and land vertically on the reserved open space.
The human's heavy boots made a clattering sound against the black ground, and then stepped into the conference hall of the research station.
The hall was very noisy, and the staff gathered, theologians, religious scholars, folklorists, and biologists turned to each other and asked each other what was going on and why they were suddenly asked to gather.
When the conference hall was full of people, an old man in his seventies wore a head-mounted microphone and walked up to the podium.
"My name is Yemen, and I am a Hebrew theologian......"
"I won't talk to you about the extra nonsense, let's get straight to the point. ”
He took out the remote control and pressed it a few times, projecting a set of pictures onto the big screen behind him.
It was a magnificent stone slab seven or eight meters high, carved from an unknown stone, with an incomprehensible hieroglyphic script carved on the slab.
"This is the ...... that one of our expeditions found in a cold, damp cave in the New World"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
"Yemeni gentleman, you should know that in the occult world, there are things that cannot be seen, heard, or thought. ”
"Can I ask you not to put the picture out there? You can replace it with another image or text. ”
It was a theologian who spoke, and his eyes were tightly closed as he spoke.
After being invaded by the evil god Cthulhu Futan, the attitude of the people of Toying towards the occult is full of caution and awe, both wanting to embrace the mystery and fearing being harmed by the mystery.
This attitude has also affected the academic community.
Therefore, after Yemen released the picture, he immediately interrupted Yemen to remind everyone.
"Thank you, Mr. Koichi Yagawa, for the reminder. Yemen glanced at the name on the other party's badge and said with a smile, "But please rest assured, Mr. Koichi Yagawa, after the picture was released, we did various examinations on the prototype of this picture and the people who came into contact with it, and our trial and error staff risked their lives to observe this group of pictures and make sure that there are no problems before releasing them." ”
If it weren't for the particularity of the purpose of this time, he wouldn't want to release this set of pictures, after all, the mystery is not something that can be checked by scientific instruments, and as for the trial and error personnel, it's fine...... What if the mysterious power has an incubation period?
Hearing Yemen's words, Yagawa opened his eyes and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Yemen-kun, I was reckless, I'm very sorry." ”
"Mr. Yagawa also spoke out of careful consideration, so he didn't need to apologize, but I didn't tell everyone about the situation in advance, so I should apologize. ”
"No, Yemeni Jun ......"
“......”
Yemen and Yagawa Koi talked to each other modestly before returning to the topic, "This slate has been identified by us and found that it is very likely to come from the Cambrian period 500 million years ago. ”
"Everyone, please pay attention. ”
Yemen marked a few words with red arrows on the picture, "These hieroglyphs I marked are exactly the same word, and there are many words similar to this situation on this tablet, so we guess that the words on this tablet are most likely carved by some kind of creature himself, and it is their script." ”
"The purpose of this gathering is also to gather the wisdom of all people, find the creature that created this writing, and translate the content of the words on this tablet. ”
The voice fell, and the entire conference room fell silent.
The theologians, the religious scholars, the folklorists, the biologists, you look at me, I look at him, and I don't know what to say.
We are theologians/religious scholars/folklorists/biologists, not linguists, is it a bit difficult for us to ask us to translate the words on this tablet?
Yemen said gently, "I know your concerns, but please don't think of this as a serious academic exchange venue, please think of it as an art salon, a place where you can speak freely, and say whatever you think, even if it's wrong." ”
Yemen looked at the scene below where the students did not say a word when they were called in class, and began to throw bricks and stones, "As you know, Darwin mentioned in "The Origin of Species" that the creatures on our blue star suddenly evolved on a large scale in the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago. ”
"Is it possible that some kind of intelligent creature suddenly appeared at that time, and they recorded their civilization on stone tablets?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a biologist retorted, "It can't be. ”
"The Cambrian explosion was dominated by invertebrates, and those animals were far from intelligent, let alone invented writing to record their own civilization. ”
"Sir, invertebrates do not mean that they do not have intelligence, in the mysterious world, creatures do not have wisdom only after a long evolution, it is also possible that it can be looked at by God, and it will have wisdom and civilization. ”
Yemeni left the biologist at a loss for what to say.
If the arguments of Darwin's theory of evolution have been shaken by the development of science and the in-depth study of the geology and biology of the blue star, then the coming of God has completely refuted Darwin's theory of evolution.
The idea that man was created by God has become a widely accepted view in society and in academic circles.
"Mr. Yemen, if this tablet is involved in mystery, why must it have been written by intelligent beings, and why can't it be inscribed by God?"
A theologian stood up and said, "In Norse mythology, it is generally believed that the Runi script was learned by our Lord Odin who hung himself upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, but it is also said that my Lord Odin was given a stone tablet engraved with Runi characters. ”
"Maybe this slate is the legendary slate, and the text on it is the legendary runi script. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another theologian retorted, "The legend 'The great god Odin learned the runi script only after he was given a tablet engraved with runi script' is not very credible, because this legend was only passed down orally by some Icelandic people, and was not recorded in the Proverbs of the Masters." ”
"Rather than you might guess, I think this tablet is the one that says our Lord God signed the Ten Commandments with Moses and the Hebrew fathers. ”
"This is a continent formed by the fall that fell from Asgard, and how can the stone tablets excavated from here be the clay tablets of God's Ten Commandments. ”
"There is no direct evidence that this continent has anything to do with Asgard......"
“......”
Yemen watched as the two theologians suddenly began to argue, and were about to speak to dissuade him, when he heard a weaker voice ringing out in the conference hall.
"What do I think, it's kind of like an old keystone tablet from the Cthulhu mythos!"
