My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 36: Archaeological Concerns
Wei Xunqian has spent most of his life in archaeological work. In the past few decades, he has traveled almost all over the country, and their archaeological footprints are everywhere.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, his team has excavated major archaeological discoveries many times, providing a lot of evidence for historical research.

Suddenly, someone told him that someone had discovered the tribal civilization thousands of years ago, and he was a little bit unbelievable.In particular, the old friend said that a large number of murals were found at the scene, recording the major events at that time.

Thousands of years ago, there was no country established on the land of China. What records could there be at that time?
Even the Xia Dynasty, the earliest dynasty in China, has not yet been able to rectify its name. Foreign countries do not recognize this dynasty in China, thinking that it was fabricated by the Chinese themselves.

In the final analysis, it is still because there were no cultural relics discovered in the Xia Dynasty, and no document records were left behind, so it cannot prove that she once existed.It has to be said that this is a pity for the archaeological community.

"Teacher, when are you leaving?" At this time, a postgraduate student led by Wei Xun came over and asked.

They have already planned to conduct an archaeological excavation of an ancient tomb today.According to the information, it should be a king's tomb in the Ming Dynasty, but the exact name of the king is not yet known.

Just as Wei Xun was about to speak, a video was sent on his mobile WeChat.

He didn't answer the student's words. He clicked on the video, and saw in the video, two men with flashlights, exploring the pitch-black cave.

The light of the flashlight shone on the stone wall, and a huge group of murals appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, his eyes widened suddenly.I have been doing archaeology for most of my life, and it is easy to see that the murals have existed for a long time, and they are not just put up temporarily to attract attention.

Sure enough, as Lao Yang said, the murals recorded major events that happened thousands of years ago, such as the great flood and so on.

He immediately raised his head and said to the students who were a little bit confused: "Notice, cancel the previous plan, and prepare to go to Sichuan, there is a major discovery there."

Sichuan?

major discovery?When did it happen?What did you find?
The graduate student had many questions, but he didn't dare to ask them, so he could only go out and inform other people, cancel the well-prepared plan, and take a trip to Sichuan instead.

Wei Xun called back: "Old Yang, where exactly is this place? Give me a location. By the way, are you familiar with the person in the video? Can you send me a message? Or, give me his phone number That's fine, I'll talk to him myself."

Mr. Yang knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! People won't destroy the scene. What I'm showing you now may be just the tip of the iceberg. The cave is very big. I'll send you the detailed address on WeChat. look."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Xun saw the message from Lao Yang, including the anchor's contact information.

Outside, the rest of the archaeological team was in a mess.You were so well prepared, and suddenly changed your plan?This is so sudden!What discovery made Wei Lao temporarily change his plan?

Soon, they received a video from Wei Lao in the group.

Seeing a large number of original murals on the stone walls of the cave, everyone finally understood why Mr. Wei did that.That may be an ancient civilization that has never been discovered, and it has great archaeological significance.

This kind of discovery is enough to be included in the annals of history and permanently engraved in the history of archaeology.

All of a sudden, everyone cheered up.

"Hey! Don't be dazed, everyone, start tidying up your things, Mr. Wei is waiting!" shouted the former graduate student.

Everyone acted immediately and packed up the equipment that might be used.

After getting the specific address, Mr. Wei immediately contacted the local government, hoping that they would provide some help and cooperation.Of course, this matter has to be reported, when the time comes to apply for funds and so on.

But the most important thing now is to go to the site to investigate first, see the specific situation, and then make an assessment.

"Hey! Director Zhang? It's me, Old Wei! I have something to do..."

Old Wei made several phone calls in a row. In the archaeological circle, the news spread quickly: found a tribal civilization suspected to be thousands of years ago?
Then, Elder Wei asked his graduate student to download the live broadcast software, intending to watch the live broadcast, so as to learn all the information about the cave more directly and conveniently.

……

Chenjiagou and Chen Tiansheng's two cousins ​​continued to walk in, giving people a feeling of live broadcast adventure.

"Stop, the northwest corner, go and have a look." Suddenly, Fang Xing spoke again.

Just now, Chen Tiansheng's cousin swung the flashlight over there, and Fang Xing immediately saw something.

Hearing Fang Xing's words, Chen Tiansheng and his cousin immediately turned their flashlights to the northwest corner, and they found a lot of things, which seemed to be stone tools.

After they approached, they discovered that there were many types of stone tools, such as weapons such as stone spears and knives, as well as agricultural tools such as stone mills and stone hammers.

"My God! There are so many. It seems that this tribe used to be very big."

"Only this pile, there are hundreds of pieces, right? Is there any archaeological brother to come out and talk about it?"

"Seeing those murals in front, I knew that this must be a powerful tribe."

"Since it is a large tribe, their living area must be very large. I think that the entire Chenjiagou may have been their residence in the past."

"So, the entire Chenjiagou has to be dug three feet? Looking for ruins?"

"Brother, unprofessional people do things like digging three feet into the ground. Real archaeologists don't need to dig blindly. They have their own methods and can accurately find other ruins."

……

Everyone found that there is a symbol on almost every stone tool.

Just as Wei Lao just entered the live broadcast room, he was surprised and delighted when he saw those stone tools.There is almost no doubt that the ruins of civilization in front of us are tribal civilizations thousands of years ago.

Moreover, it also gave birth to its own characters, which is quite remarkable.

You must know that in many tribal civilizations, even production tools may be scarce, and communication is a problem, let alone written records.

Therefore, seeing this ruin of civilization, Wei Lao wanted to fly over immediately.

"Teacher, this site is amazing." The graduate student who was also watching the live broadcast exclaimed.

Old Wei nodded: "Although these characters seem to be very immature, the tribes with characters are not simple. This discovery may shock the entire archaeological world."

He found that, although he had never seen such hieroglyphics, it was easy to decipher.

"Do you want to call this anchor?" The graduate student couldn't help asking.

Old Wei shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, people are using their mobile phones to broadcast live, so don't bother them yet!"

Anyway, they will be leaving soon, so there is no rush, as long as they don't damage the scene.

As discussed by the audience in the live broadcast room, ten thousand years ago, the entire village, and even several surrounding villages, may have been the scope of activities of this tribe.

Going there, you have to cooperate with the local town government, and it is possible to carry out a comprehensive archaeological excavation of Chenjiagou.
