Master Archaeologist

Chapter 16 Is this even a fucking bowl of meat noodles? ! (Please follow up!!)
"Anyway, let's show it to the teacher first, and let the teacher confirm it!"

In a hurry, Zhuang Yunpeng took the camera from Zhang Jianbo's chest and ran to find Kong Jianwen.

And when Kong Jianwen, who was leading a team to clean up a large cemetery around the altar, saw these photos.

He has always been calm and calm, and he has the temperament of not changing his face even before Mount Tai collapses, and he was really shocked!

"You found this at F20?!"

Looking at the photo in the camera that looked like noodles, Kong Jianwen really couldn't calm down.

Although when he saw the photo, his first reaction was that it looked like noodles, but his reason told him that it couldn't be noodles.

He prefers to think in other ways.

For example, a fabric that happens to be shaped like a noodle?

Because as usual, no one can believe that the noodles can be preserved.

This is a site from 4000 years ago. Can the noodles in a pottery bowl from 4000 years ago be preserved to this day? !
What an international joke!
However, he immediately put down all the work at hand, and followed Zhuang Yunpeng to the F20 detective square.

Even if reason tells him that this thing cannot be noodles, Kong Jianwen still has a ten-thousandth expectation in his heart.

What if?
This is noodles!

Noodles are made from wheat flour, which was first born in the farming civilizations of Mesopotamia 9000 years ago.

6500 years after its birth, wheat planting technology, together with noodle making technology, began to gradually spread from the Middle East to the world.

Among the literature records related to noodles in all countries on the earth, the Chinese literature records are already the earliest, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty about 2000 years ago.

However, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no historical record of noodles.

And they are all written records, and no real objects have ever been unearthed.

Therefore, the Italians and Arabs who also have a long history of eating noodles and have unearthed noodles have been claiming that they are the country of origin of noodles.

Starting from Chang'an, passing through the Western Regions, Central Asia, West Asia, and even the Mediterranean countries, the Silk Road is often called the "Noodle Road" by Western scholars.

Because with the prosperity of the Silk Road, noodles and wheat food have gradually spread to all areas along the Silk Road.

Even some of Huaxia's own scholars swear that the noodle making process should have been introduced to China from the Middle East through the Silk Road at the earliest, and Huaxia is not the origin of noodles.

For this reason, they have also written many papers, citing various foreign archaeological evidence as evidence.

Trying to prove that noodles are imported from the Middle East through the ancient Silk Road!

After several years of carrying forward this kind of argument, there are still many people flocking to it in China!

If, if the curly strips under the bowl found in the F20 are really noodles.

All the debates about the origin of noodles can be settled.

All the so-called noodle ships, the theory of the origin of noodles in the Middle East, and the theory of Italian origin can all be put to rest.

This bowl of noodles comes from 4000 years ago, and the noodles that appeared at least 2000 years earlier than Italy will become the earliest physical archaeological data of noodles in the world so far!

It will prove that China is the first country to invent noodles!

Kong Jianwen's footsteps were hurried, and he almost rushed to the F20 detective.

As soon as he arrived at the F20 detective, he immediately walked towards Chen Han and others who were surrounded by the northeast corner of the detective.

Without any explanation, Kong Jianwen hurriedly pushed them away, squeezed in, and focused on the mound of dirt on the ground.

A group of pale yellow curly strips appeared in front of him.

This group of "noodles" is beige as a whole, with a very uniform thickness and a diameter of about 3 mm. Because the length is all gathered into a ball, it is temporarily impossible to see how long each one is.

However, by visual inspection, it is definitely not short, at least five centimeters in length.

Regardless of thickness, length, or appearance, this ball of sticks is really like noodles.

The only pity is that due to the long-term relationship, this group of strips has been severely weathered, and only a thin layer of material remains on the skin.

"You found it in a pottery bowl turned upside down on the ground?" Kong Jianwen looked at Chen Han.

Chen Han nodded quickly.

"Xiao Chen, you've done a good job!" Kong Jianwen smiled kindly, and said affirmatively, "4000 years ago, when the disaster that destroyed the Lajia ruins happened."

"Perhaps the family was eating noodles, and a sudden disaster destroyed the settlement at once."

"As for this bowl of noodles, it was accidentally placed upside down on the ground, and because a clay pot was pressed on it, the inside of the bowl was accidentally formed into a semi-vacuum environment."

"This is really a one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth event with a small probability."

After seeing the real thing with his own eyes, Kong Jianwen had a feeling in his heart that this thing might indeed be a guess of noodles.

You can even restore the scene that happened 4000 years ago in your mind!
The coincidence of all the signs makes it hard not to make people think otherwise!

Kong Jianwen quickly called several colleagues who are very professional in the protection of cultural relics, and carefully extracted the suspected "noodles" from the ground.

"It must be sent back to the capital immediately, and let colleagues from the Academy of Sciences next door help to identify and find out the composition of this thing!"

"See if it's made of grain!"

If this thing is really made of grain and eaten, it must be that the noodles have not escaped.

Watching the teacher carefully pack the "noodles" together with other leftovers in the bowl, and prepare to transport them back to the capital for appraisal.

Chen Han quickly stopped Kong Jianwen.

"Teacher, wait!"

"Let me search again, I think there should be other discoveries in this mound of dirt!"

If Chen Han hadn't been the first to discover this ball of "noodles", Kong Jianwen would definitely curse at him.

As soon as this object was unearthed, it quickly weathered immediately after it came into contact with the air. Now, if it is delayed for a second, it will be a kind of damage to the cultural relics.

Kong Jianwen frowned and stared at Chen Han: "Only 5 minutes!"

Chen Han quickly squatted down, picked up a bamboo stick and pulled it up in the mound of soil pressed by the pottery bowl.

In fact, on the way Kong Jianwen came, Chen Han was already looking for other discoveries, and he had already found some clues for him.

After pawing and pulling a few times precisely in the pile of dirt, he pulled out a few lumps that were smaller than fingernails.

"Teacher, look!"

With a look of excitement, Chen Han pulled the lumps with a bamboo stick a few times, and shouted in a slightly different tone: "This is a bone fragment of an animal!"

"The food conditions of the ancestors of the La family are not bad!"

"This is not just a bowl of noodles, but a bowl of meaty noodles!"

"With meat!"
