As the referee's voice sounded, and as the etiquette lady pulled up the silk, more than ten small square stones of the same size but different shapes appeared on the booth in front of Wang Yu and the old man from Bangzi Kingdom.
There are also some animals carved on the small stones. What are they? At this time, Wang Yu had a question mark on his face.
The old man from the Bangzi Kingdom smiled mysteriously after seeing it, and then began to write and draw in the notebook, while Wang Yu was stunned for a moment.
Then Wang Yu used his clairvoyance eyes to look at the dozen or so small stones on the table that looked like big rocks.
"Tianzhu River Seal"
It turned out that this was the Tianzhu River Seal. After seeing the information conveyed by the clairvoyant eyes, Wang Yu also suddenly realized that no wonder it had such a shape.
Wang Yu had seen reports about the Tianzhu River Seal on the Internet before, but had never actually seen it.
According to previous understanding, the Indus Valley Civilization (Harappan Civilization) produced a large number of lithographic printings in 2600-1500 BC. Unlike the Mesopotamia civilization, roller printings were relatively rare, and most of them were made of talc, fayons and A black stone and steatite that is fired to increase its hardness.
The lithographic seals depict various strange-looking gods, animals such as zebu and unicorns, and ancient symbols, which may also be words.
However, due to the lack of long inscriptions like the cuneiform script of the Mesopotamia, the individual characters are very limited, so it cannot be interpreted so far. Through the translation of the cuneiform script, we only know that the Mesopotamia was called "Meluha".
Due to the material and production process, these small seals are unearthed in large quantities, and hundreds of them can be unearthed in one excavation. They are flat square, rectangular or round.
Individuals are generally 2 to 3 cm long, and most have printed buttons on the back, so they can be worn and carried. Like the Mesopotamian civilizations, most of these seals are marks of personal identity.
Whether used for trade or management, etc., it means confirmation of credibility, authority and ownership.
Small carvings from the Tianzhu River Civilization period. There are more than 2,000 seals unearthed from two sites in Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The materials for the seals are frozen stone, clay, ivory, copper, etc., with frozen stone being the most numerous.
The main shape is square, but there are also a small number of circles, ovals, and rectangles, with perforated convex buttons on the back.
The seal is in the form of a relief, depicting animal images common in India at that time, such as zebu, rhinoceros, tiger, elephant, antelope, crocodile and some imaginary composite animals, such as horned tiger, three-headed beast, etc.
As well as some images of gods in Hinduism and some scenes in real life, among which animal depictions are the most successful.
The shape of the cow is accurate, thick and powerful, successfully showing the sinews and muscles of the cow, and the image is vivid and vivid.
The function of the seal is unknown because the inscription has not been deciphered, but it is speculated that the image carved may be some kind of worship object, used to seal mud and express identity, or it may have the function of amulet.
After reading the information, Wang Yu was also shocked by these ordinary seals. He didn't expect them to have such a long history, and their meanings were still different.
"Referee, I can start now"
While Wang Yu was still thinking about the amount of information just given, the old man from Bangzi Country over there began to elaborate. I think this small stone module is a seal produced in Tianzhu River at that time, and it is authentic... However, these things also look like some cultural relics of our Bangzi country. We will apply for a UNESCO World Heritage List after we return.
"Ha ha"
Wang Yu listened seriously and was immediately amused by the last words of the old man from the Bangzi Kingdom. The audience also laughed at the scene. The people from the Bangzi Kingdom are really shameless. Everything belongs to them. Everyone wants to apply for World Heritage status, so why not just apply for India to be World Heritage? Wang Yu secretly thought.
"why are you laughing?"
At this time, the old man from Bangzi Country pointed at Wang Yu and asked after seeing Wang Yu laughing.
I'm laughing at your ignorance, and I'm also laughing at you for not knowing that the sky is high and the earth is high. These stone modules are true, and they are the Tianzhu River seal.
But I read correctly that these seals were unearthed from the Mohenjodaro site. There should have been more than 900 unearthed at that time. A total of more than 2,000 seals were unearthed from the two sites at Harappa, with different sizes and shapes. , in addition to animal carvings, there are also carvings of other plants. Some symbolized the top of power at that time, and some were used as peace and blessing by people at that time.
This mainly depends on what is engraved on the seal. Wang Yu glanced at the old man who had turned pale and continued.
Moreover, according to the fact that the seals were unearthed in Tianzhu at that time, they did not receive reasonable protection at the beginning, resulting in only more than 2,000 seals being completely preserved.
In fact, there were more than two thousand seals unearthed at that time. I don’t know if what I said is right, then Wang Yu looked at the experts from Tianzhu who were not far away and said.
I saw that the expert's face looked very ugly at this time, which meant that what Wang Yu said was right.
The audience also felt that this trip was not in vain, and they learned a lot of knowledge invisibly, and they will have materials to show off in the future.
Wang Yu also said at this time that according to the records of Tianzhu Kingdom, these seals are now national treasure-level cultural relics. So I would like to ask this player from Bangzi Kingdom, how did you come to be a thing of your Bangzi Kingdom? Do you want to go back to apply for World Heritage?
Wang Yu's words directly embarrassed the old man from Bangzi Country. Before he could speak, Wang Yu said that you can eat randomly, but it is best not to do some things randomly, so as not to get burned.
After finishing speaking, Wang Yu ignored the angry old man from Bangzi State and directly signaled to the referee that he had finished narrating.
There was no surprise at the next Canadian night market. Wang Yu won the first place with a perfect score of 10, which was a complete crushing gesture.
Have you seen that this is how terrifying Wang Yu is? You still want to challenge him with your three-legged cat skills? At this time, on the side of the Japanese camp, Sato looked at Wang Yu on the stage and scolded Xiaodao.
Although Xiaodao saw that Wang Yu got perfect marks, he still looked unconvinced and said, Sato-kun, Wang Yu just got lucky, it's no big deal.
"haha"!
It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, so go ahead. I'll be here to watch you being tortured by Wang Yu. Sato stopped trying to persuade him at this time and left here after finishing his words.
Sato-kun, please have confidence in me, I will make you look at me differently. Kojima was still unconvinced and said to Sato's leaving figure.
Ito on the other side fell into deep thought when he saw Sato leaving and then looked at Wang Yu's performance in the stands just now.
