Chapter 490 Unsolved Mysteries
Looking at the wreckage of the surrounding buildings, and hearing the doubts of He Xiaoman and the fans, Zhang Yang stopped the balance bike and walked down. At the same time, he came to the door of a residential building next to Central Avenue, raised his hand and gently stroked the look. A seemingly fragile but extremely strong wall.

"After thousands of years of vicissitudes in Jiaohe Ancient City, the main structure of the city's architectural layout is still miraculously preserved. These are all due to TLF's unique dry and rainless climate.

In particular, the ancient city is surrounded by cliffs, and three city gates were built on the cliffs on the east, west and south sides.

In fact, what is really unexpected is that apart from the absence of city walls, the architectural form here has another obvious feature, that is, most of the buildings in the whole city, regardless of their size, are basically built using the method of "reducing the ground and retaining the walls". of.

Jiaohe Ancient City is a wonderful city that develops downwards. The whole city is dug out from the surface of the towering raw soil platform, and the deepest one is even as high as the current three-story building. This architectural method is called For 'minus the land to stay the wall'.

This is the only one in our country, and it is extremely rare even in the world.

The walls of temples, government offices, city gates, and folk houses are basically made of raw earth, especially the streets and alleys, which are long, narrow and deep, like winding trenches.

It can be said that this city is a huge ancient sculpture, and its unique architectural craftsmanship reflects the ingenuity and great creativity of ancient laborers. "

Caressing the rough wall, but there is another kind of delicate human life, Zhang Yang finished this sentence, and then came to Rhubarb's side.

"Xiaoman, are you hungry? Or thirsty? Shall we stop and rest for a while?"

Squatting next to Dahuang, Zhang Yang lifted the lid of the backpack on its back, first took out two bottles of mineral water from inside, and then took out Dasheng's water bottle.

The two little guys have always used the same kettle outside, and every time they drink water, the Dasheng uses the lid of the kettle to pour out the water for Rhubarb to lick and drink. It drinks water from the kettle itself.

The relationship between two different types of animals is very good.

"No need, husband, I'm not tired. I haven't walked all this time. Besides, it's only past 10 o'clock. Let's keep going."

He Xiaoman raised his hand and brushed a strand of hair that had just been blown by the wind by his ear, then looked at Zhang Yang gently and said with a sweet smile.

Unscrewing the cap of the bottle of mineral water in his hand and handing it to He Xiaoman, Zhang Yang returned to his balance bike.

"Okay then, let's move on.

Speaking of which, with the continuous research of archaeologists and the deepening of archaeological work over the years, there are still some mysteries in this ancient city. "

Restarting the journey, I heard Zhang Yang suddenly bring up this topic, and then seemed to stop talking on purpose, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many people. Everyone likes to listen to stories and anecdotes, especially this kind of mystery itself ancient city.

This is also a feature of Zhang Yang's live broadcast room. There are always different legends and stories in his mouth, some of which are based on facts, and some are purely fabricated by people, but every story sounds like a Very attractive.

"Oh~~ Husband, hurry up and tell me, everyone is waiting to hear, don't drink water!"

Hearing He Xiaoman's words, we both couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He felt a sense of accomplishment when the fans urged him to suddenly say something halfway, but he couldn't pretend if he was urged by his own Xiaoman. down.

"Okay, okay, I said, I said it's not enough, probably there should be six.

The first one is the mystery of the ancient well, which is the ancient well that we just passed by the location in the south of the city. When the archaeologists were digging an ancient well in the south of the city, they found an underground passage at a depth of more than ten meters.

As for what era this tunnel is a product of and what it is for, it is still unclear. Some experts speculate that this tunnel may be the fortifications of Cheshiqian Kingdom 2000 years ago. They even speculate that the king of Cheshiqian Kingdom Maybe it broke out from this tunnel.

The reason for saying this is because an ancient well was found in the courtyard of the Northwest Buddhist Temple. When the excavation reached 8 meters, two female skeletons were pulled out. Judging from the teeth, they were about 30 years old.

Judging from the bones, the arms of these two women were cut off at the time, and their heads and feet were seriously injured, but who were they? How did they die? Why were they buried in the well of the Buddhist temple? It is still unknown Known.

As for the second one, it is the mystery of the roofs. In the ancient city of Jiaohe, there are thousands of houses that can still be identified, but the roofs of all the houses have long since collapsed without a trace.

So now we don't know what kind of roofs the houses in the old city had.

Is he round? Flat? Or arched? No one has solved the mystery yet.

However, recently, it seems that UNESCO and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage are going to organize domestic and foreign experts to study this matter, trying to uncover the mystery of the roof of Jiaohe Ancient City, and finally decide what shape the roof will be used for the restoration of the Northwest Buddhist Temple.

As for the third puzzle, as we have just said, that is why there are no doors and windows in the houses facing the street. And know.

The fourth puzzle is the mystery of the underground temple, which is also a scenic spot of the ancient city. An underground temple was found in the northwest of the ancient city. We can take a look at it later. The temple is a curved-roofed building with murals painted on it.

The monk's house is connected with the temple, and according to the construction mode here, they are all underground.

In the past, it was considered to be a tomb visited by tomb thieves, and the cultural relics unearthed in the temple are relatively rich. There are not only 5 milky white relics, but also bronze Buddha statues, Chinese documents, etc.

Buddhism was very popular in Jiaohe Ancient City at that time, and there are more than 50 large and small Buddhist buildings that can be seen in the city, but why is this Buddhist temple built underground, and what special significance and function does it have?
At present, no one has discovered the reason for this, but I believe that one day in the future, it should be deciphered by our archaeologists.

The fifth is the city wall we just talked about. The north gate and the city wall of this ancient city are also confusing.

As I said just now, the ancient city of Jiaohe was built on a high platform, surrounded by steep cliffs, with natural dangers. In the past, some people thought that Jiaohe had no city walls.

However, a few years ago, an adobe and rammed wall was found on the edge of the west cliff, and Yuanmeng believed that this was the city wall.

However, whether the ancient city of Jiaohe has only such a section of the city wall or the whole city has walls has not yet been discovered.

But if we only talk about the section of the city wall that was discovered, why is this?
In addition, if there is a city, there must be a gate. Now Jiaohe Ancient City has 3 gates in the east, west, and south, but there is no gate in the north. Is it because the north gate was not built at that time or our people did not find the north gate at all. , if the whole city is not walled, then what is the point of building these gates?
Anyway, these secrets have not been solved until now. I believe that if these secrets are solved, there will be amazing discoveries in the excavation of this period of history. "

Zhang Yang talked out five unsolved mysteries in a row, and couldn't help feeling a little dry, so he quickly picked up the mineral water and unscrewed the lid to take a sip.

But He Xiaoman, who was listening with gusto, was not so easy to fool. She obviously found that Zhang Yang only said 5 things, and one thing he didn't say at all.

"Husband, what is the sixth one? Have you forgotten it? It's impossible. Oh, my dear husband, don't be fooled!"
