"Professor Huang, can these scraps of copper and iron really be used to prove the former glory and civilization of the Queen Mother of the West?"
Looking at Professor Huang who was almost dancing with excitement, Jiang Yingxue asked lightly.
Such a simple sentence was like a heavy hammer, making Professor Huang freeze on the spot for an instant, looking at the remains of high-tech products everywhere, he couldn't help but sigh.
"According to the orthodox archaeological point of view, the era of the Queen Mother of the West should be in the Stone Age. The sudden emergence of so many high-tech products can only be laughed at as academic fraud.
Although we very much want to believe that the Queen Mother of the West clan is the eschatological remnants of the Fourth Civilization, the so-called Five Civilizations are nothing more than a vague and unbelievable urban legend. "
The so-called truth is nothing more than established conjectures that are temporarily recognized by the academic community. There is no eternal truth in this world, because all truths must have provable or disprovable characteristics.
If such a bizarre statement cannot be unanimously recognized by the academic community and is accompanied by a rigorous academic certification process, then no matter how true such a thing is, it will only be a hypothesis and conjecture.
It is inconsistent with common sense to unilaterally come up with such incredible things to prove that the ancient civilization history of the Xiwangmu clan is still an ancient clan that has been seriously mythologized.
“There are some things, whether you believe them or not, as long as you have a clear conscience.
We can come here and bring out the things inside. This is the meaning of what we do, and it is also the meaning of the traces of the past being buried and left behind.
Even if all the things here are ultimately summarized as urban legends that cannot be trusted, so what, at least some people will be willing to believe it and continue to follow the path we have taken.
In this world, there are official histories and unofficial histories, and they all have their own significance and value. Even if they just make future generations laugh, that is where their value lies. "
Facing the confused Professor Huang, Bai Ning's words made him burst out laughing.
When someone finds a treasure or encounters something incredible, their first reaction is always to worry about whether anyone will believe such a miracle.
Whether you believe it or not, this is just the personal judgment of others.
The person involved can never change other people.
Those who believe will naturally believe it, and those who do not believe will naturally be floating in the clouds. What does it have to do with me?
In this world, the most indispensable thing is people, the most indispensable thing is belief, and the most indispensable thing is time.
Everyone will search for the meaning of life. If one day someone hears our story and is willing to believe such a story, then this is enough.
“It’s not necessary to have many close friends, just having them is enough.
There are so many weirdos in this world, and there are tens of millions of weird roads, so why bother worrying about whether anyone will believe them?
If I believe and pursue, my life will be satisfied. "
The doubts in his heart suddenly cleared, and Professor Huang's expression seemed inexplicably happy. He didn't force anything, as long as he lived up to himself. This was a completely new realm.
With a completely new change in his mentality, Professor Huang became even more excited about these ancient relics. Time flew by as he picked and picked.
“Where do you think the previous replicant machines will be?
Where are the dead people from Sima Tian’s tour group?
It doesn't seem like there are other downward tunnels here. Could it be that the previously missing tour group was in other tombs on the upper level that we didn't dig? "
After patrolling for a long time, no complete advanced equipment appeared here, let alone machines related to replication.
Jiang Yingxue's question was also a question in Bai Ning's mind. In addition, there was also the issue of the ice storage area that was still unresolved.
“Overall, this seems to be the ultimate treasure area.
In other words, after such a long period of mutual competition, the builder of this mausoleum has actually judged us as tomb robbers.
Although part of this mausoleum was breached by us, the most important core mechanism still exists in the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West.
As for the passage to go, it may be behind the previous descending stone door, or it may be in the area where the bluebird stone bars are accumulated. The exact location is unclear, and a huge price must be paid for it.
If we cannot abide by the tacit agreement and take the treasures here and leave directly, then we will need to continue to compete with the builders of the tomb in subsequent levels.
At that time, I'm afraid it won't be a battle of wits with a narrow escape, but it will most likely be a decisive battle with mutual death.
It is no exaggeration to say that the builders of the mausoleum concentrated the inheritance properties of the mausoleum and the defense properties against tomb robbers in their own burial chambers. Once we dare to cross the line, the consequences waiting for us may be destruction.
You know, the builders of the mausoleum only need to protect the coffin of Queen Mother of the West. As for the damage to the overall structure of the mausoleum, this is not considered. "
The answer given by Bai Ning is still limited to the previous overall reasoning process, and is a subsequent expansion and extension of the coffin murals.
“In other words, the obsession with immortality can also be equivalent to the obsession with treasure.
Whether it is immortality or greed for money, it is just a manifestation of human nature.
If a tacit mutual respect can be maintained, then everything will be fine.
If not, the tomb here is still capable of fighting.
Be polite first and then fight. The person lying in the coffin is indeed quite capable. "
Regarding the interpretation of the desire for immortality, Jiang Yingxue only had a joking attitude, and his attitude towards the person in the coffin was even more contemptuous.
Not knowing the whole picture and pretending to be generous and profound is just like a frog at the bottom of a well, making yourself look stupid and narrow-minded.
Once this idea came up, Jiang Yingxue found it a little funny.
A frog in a narrow well, even if she, Jiang Yingxue, stands higher than the person in the coffin, who can be sure that who in this world can know the secret of immortality?
The frog in the well thinks that immortality is just a vain wish. She, a self-righteous and far-sighted person, thinks that immortality is possible.
But if immortality is really just like a dream in the blue sky, the most illusory greed in the world, then what should we do?
No one can give an answer to this, maybe only what Professor Huang said, as long as you live up to this life, it is enough.
“We still have a coffin that has not been opened, and the contents inside are not all that the person in the coffin owned.
If we really can't find any useful clues, we should return to the previous tomb as soon as possible. "
Bai Ning no longer had any interest in the things here, and only wanted to quickly return to the previous tomb.
After a follow-up inquiry, Professor Huang, who was fascinated by the research, received a positive answer and everyone began to return to the previous tunnel.
The previous rockfall had completely stopped, and the rockfall area did not completely block the previous cave entrance, which saved them a lot of trouble.
When Bai Ning climbed up first, he found that the huge coffin had automatically split open, revealing a three-meter-long stone coffin inside.
Several thick stone slabs of the coffin collapsed and the iron frame fell to the ground. Even the cover of the coffin had been broken into three pieces and lay on the ice beside it.
As expected, the coffin contained a lot of things. A large number of stone slabs seemed to be a long-term and effective carrier of information.
Presumably, what is recorded here is the ancient legacy that the people in the sarcophagus want to pass on to future generations.
I took a closer look and casually looked at it. I couldn't understand the text on the stone slab at all. Trying to decipher this lost ancient text might even come from the writing system of the Fourth Civilization. Without corresponding meaning reference, it was almost impossible to decipher it. possible.
In addition, for these symbols with unknown meanings, you can't even say that they are a kind of text. They may also be some passwords with encryption functions. The purpose is to prevent the ancient inheritance from being spied by people who are not members of the Queen Mother of the West clan.
Professor Huang, who climbed up later, saw the contents of the coffins scattered on the ground, and his eyes almost gleamed as he ran towards this side.
Judging from its posture, it is already more interesting than the previous legacy of ancient technology.
Things that can prove an ancient civilization are more of some cultural legacy, preferably graphic content that can record history, customs, social structure, etc.
Only with more relevant evidence can we more truly prove the existence of ancient civilizations.
However, after just a brief review, Professor Huang's passionate heart suddenly became cold.
For no other reason, because these stone slabs look more fake than the previous tombstones, giving the overall impression of a poor modern craft.
Furthermore, despite exhausting Professor Huang's knowledge base, he was unable to compare ancient characters similar to these runes.
Cangjie created characters, which are said to be the earliest characters that occurred in the Huangdi period. The earliest Chinese characters with archaeological evidence are oracle bone inscriptions.
If the Queen Mother of the West is a remnant of the fourth civilization, then the writing system she uses cannot be deduced from oracle bone inscriptions.
It is a lost writing system that lacks specific meaning explanation. It is almost impossible to interpret it.
You must know that even extremely complex encrypted text will eventually appear as a meaningful character because of the result of its calculation.
A completely baseless symbol system. It can be anything, but it cannot be what you imagine.
Just like some artifacts unearthed during archaeological excavations, due to their lost attributes, it is impossible to guess what they were used for based on current human logic.
For example, the Voynich manuscript, a rare European book, remains unexplained, both in words and pictures.
Therefore, this pile of important slates with great expectations is actually just a pile of meaningless rotten stones.
