Ye Qiong looked at the words on the giant stone pillar and was stunned for a moment. From this distance, he could already see clearly what the symbols on it were.
but……
Ye Qiong was a little confused because the words on it were not what the Ye Qiong tribe used now.
There are actually many types of characters and languages on the snow star. Ye Qiong now feels that it is normal if he cannot understand them.
After all, in Ye Qiong's own world, there are hundreds of types of speech and text alone.
If you include the missing ones, there are even more.
But language and writing are actually very easy to create.
There is sound first and then there are words, and words are responsible for recording the sounds. For humans, any object can be described by sound.
When there are two people, as long as this consensus is reached, then the object can be represented by this sound.
To put it simply, if you put two humans with normal IQs together on a desert island and let them not use their own language, then over time, a brand new language can be directly created, and this kind of The language is understandable only to the two of them.
As time continues to accumulate, words will gradually be produced to record language, and civilization will gradually be born.
Most civilizations started with hieroglyphs, such as drawing a bird on a rock, and then gradually simplified it. This bird can be represented by countless sounds, and the meaning is bird, and then it is the derivation of words. Taste.
This is an inevitable process...
But thousands of volumes are inseparable from the same origin. An object can be expressed in countless languages, but the object is still the same object, so there are basic conditions for mutual translation.
The language on the stone pillar is not used by the Ye Qiong tribe, so it is normal that Ye Qiong cannot understand it.
There were no hieroglyphics on it either. After staring at it for a while, Ye Qiong felt a little pain in his head. He really couldn't understand anything.
When Ye Qiong writes things by himself, most of them use Chinese characters, but when he communicates with the tribesmen, he still uses the characters passed down by the tribe. As for which branch of the ancient tribe Ye Qiong belongs to on Snow Star, The historical records of the tribe have been lost in the migration due to tragic battles.
With the current technological level of the Ye Qiong tribe, it has no archaeological significance. For a tribe that migrates all year round, the recorded history rarely exceeds a few thousand years.
Ye Qiong continued to jump down a few steps, and then continued to look at the stone pillar. The value of these words was very high. Ye Qiong knew exactly how high it was.
It can be said to be a priceless treasure, but there is also a prerequisite, that is, it must be able to be translated, if it cannot be translated.
So……
It's worthless, it's better to come to Warcraft meat or materials to be more practical.
Therefore, now Ye Qiong is beginning to have a headache, that is, how to translate these words.
In Ye Qiong's last life, the most helpless thing for some civilizations was that they discovered some ancient ruins and civilizations, but they could not translate the words they used at that time.
I can't understand the message they want to pass on to future generations.
No matter what civilization it is, since they gave birth to writing and chose to pass it down, it is definitely something that will be helpful to future generations.
This point, on the barbaric and cruel planet of Snow Star, is even more valuable and incalculable.
It is like a treasure, something more useful than mountains of gold and silver, now appearing in front of Ye Qiong.
the ancients……
What exactly do you leave behind, or what message do you want to pass on to your descendants?
Ye Qiong's mind is now focused on the words on the stone pillar.
We must find a way to decipher these words, or find the descendants of this ancient tribe and let them translate them themselves.
Now it seems that this ancient tribe and the Ye Qiong tribe are not from the same clan.
Both of these methods are quite difficult.
Translating a completely unknown language is not much different from directly translating an alien language...
If Ye Qiong expects himself or the tribesmen in the tribe to translate this thing, it will take decades. A more reliable way is to find the descendants of this ancient tribe, or tribes with the same origin as this tribe. That's ok too.
Ye Qiong has already planned to ask the Yutang tribe, the Yanghe tribe, and the newly joined Yiyan tribe to bring some people over to try their luck.
After wandering around the giant stone pillar twice, Ye Qiong began to study the things around the giant stone pillar.
There is a circle of open space around the stone pillar. If you look at it from the air together with the stone pillar, it looks a bit like an old hot pot boiler, with the center high and then surrounded by a circle of sunken pots, like those used to cook mutton in the old capital.
The width of the flat ground is about thirty meters, and it looks quite large overall. The diameter of the giant stone pillar is five meters.
It is densely covered with words.
Ye Qiong is also a little curious about what material this stone pillar is made of. It does not seem to be the same material as the huge stones on the outer steps.
Around the giant stone pillars, on the flat ground, there are some built boulders, all of which are arched. Each one is more than five meters high and five meters wide, forming a hollow arch. The door, with the stupid body shape, can be passed through the middle.
The inside of the arch cave is more like a small house, which can shelter from wind and rain. There is also a faint fishy smell coming out of it. It is estimated that those golden eagles in the summer are resting and even giving birth here. .
Ye Qiong counted a total of eighteen such arched doors.
The number double nine, there is nothing recorded on the arched door.
There are no pictures or words.
The blank space seemed a bit empty, which formed a sharp contrast with the words on the stone pillar in the middle.
Ye Qiong's mind was a little confused now, so he flew up, climbed up an arched boulder, and hid on it.
After squatting for a while, Ye Qiong lay directly on it and looked at the snowflakes flying down from the sky.
Naturally, the Azure Mother Star cannot be seen. Now we can only see the gray clouds in the sky. The area around the waterfall has not seen the Azure Mother Star for more than a week.
The current temperature has dropped to normal winter levels.
In the dense forest, the branches and leaves on the trees have turned into ice slag and lost their vitality before they have time to turn yellow and fall off. Most of them can be preserved for a long time, which also gives some herbivores on the snow star a chance to survive. The beast provides a glimmer of hope.
He stared blankly at the leaf dome on the arched boulder, and wandered around the giant stone pillar a little bored.
After a moment, all of a sudden, Daidui stopped. The bear's face looked at a certain location with a complicated look, and then he stuck his head out and sniffed a place gently.
