Master Archaeologist

"welcome."

"It can be regarded as the support of the Academy of Social Sciences."

"Researcher Chen, I've heard of you for a long time!"

"The archaeological science video you made on the Internet is very good!"

Lu Ben, the person in charge of the Guanghan Sanxingdui Archaeological Base and also the director of the Sichuan Archaeological Institute, greeted Chen Han and others with a smile.

It is not uncommon for the Sanxingdui archeology to be participated by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

In the past, the restart of Sanxingdui archaeological work was carried out by a joint archaeological team composed of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Sichuan Institute of Archeology.

The new round of archaeological work in Sanxingdui is restarted this time, because Xia Shangzhou of the Academy of Social Sciences and the backbone of the Qin and Han Archaeological Research Office are still working at the tomb of Haihunhou.

So this time is rare without the participation of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

The Sichuan Institute of Archeology has been doing archaeology independently for more than half a year, and basically clarified the locations of several newly discovered sacrificial pits.

Of course, Director Lu Ben also welcomes the addition of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences.

Again, the Sanxingdui ruins are too big.

The area excavated now is only 2% of the overall area, and there is plenty of space for other brother units to help.

This is not like some tomb archaeological projects, where a tomb is dug and the excavation is over. The project is very precious, and local units are eager to do it themselves.

For a long-term archaeological project like Sanxingdui, the time unit is calculated in hundreds of years, and there is no need to fight for anything.

This time, the team led by the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences was Chen Han.

This is also his first time leading a team.

However, Lu Ben has really admired Chen Han for a long time.

If you want to talk about the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, and even the entire archaeological field, who is the most famous?
That was definitely none other than Chen Han.

It's not that he has made great academic achievements.

In academia, Chen Han must still be a complete newcomer.

But fame does not necessarily depend on academic achievements.

It's like Mr. Tibetan Fox is not a top researcher in the field of animals and plants, and he has made great scientific research achievements.

But when it comes to zoologists and botanists, the first thing that the public can think of is definitely Mr. Tibetan Fox.

Chen Han is the same now.

When it comes to archaeologists, the "Mr. Chen who loves archeology" is definitely the most famous.

Not just outside the circle.

Including in the circle, Chen Han is also the most famous archaeologist.

Moreover, the scholars in the circle responded well to Chen Han's fame.

Because Chen Han's archaeological science popularization videos on the Internet can increase the public's attraction and awareness of archaeology.

As Chen Han became more and more famous on the Internet, with his steadfast scientific popularization and archaeological work.

Archeology is now said to be official tomb robbery. I feel that archaeology is disrespectful to the ancients, and there are fewer people digging up ancestral graves than before.

Netizens who don't know the truth can look at archaeological work more rationally and understand the importance of archaeology to modern science.

For this alone, all the archaeologists in the circle would like to thank Chen Han personally.

No way, everyone has been doing archaeology for so many years, and they have often been misunderstood or even abused by people who do not understand archaeology.

And as a scholar, it is not easy to scold back shamelessly.

So most of the time, in the face of these ignorant insults, everyone can only ignore or ignore them.

But that doesn't mean everyone doesn't care.

More or less resentful.

Now Chen Han can represent the archaeologists and reveal to the public the importance of archaeology, as well as those rumors and misunderstandings.

This is a great thing!

Of course, Chen Han is famous for his archaeology, but he can't make money from the self-media, and it is also a place where people in the circle are more psychologically balanced.

If Chen Han can rely on self-media, he can earn millions or tens of millions.

Even people in the circle couldn't calmly see Chen Han becoming famous.

Fortunately, as an on-the-job researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, Chen Han has no way to make money from the self-media.

Apart from the fact that he is much more famous than everyone else, in his daily life, he has not been able to obtain more substantial material gains because of his fame.

This is also the reason why most of the archaeologists in the circle repay Chen Han with "goodwill".

Human nature is like this, there is no way.

Arriving at the Sanxingdui Archaeological Base in Guanghan, after communicating with other colleagues who were doing archaeological work here, Chen Han and the others did not join the archaeological work immediately, but took a day off first.

The next day, Lu Ben approached Chen Han and the others early in the morning.

It’s not that I came to find them to participate in the work, but invited them to go to the Sanxingdui Museum to visit the exquisite cultural relics that have been unearthed in Sanxingdui.

Sanxingdui Museum, this is a museum that has been established for decades.

Moreover, it is always "new".

As long as the excavation work in Sanxingdui does not stop, there will always be new cultural relics on the shelves in this museum.

Of course, some important cultural relics are stored in the underground cultural relics storage room and will not be displayed.

In other words, all the exhibits are fakes.

For this museum, Chen Han has also been famous for a long time.

In the archaeological team of the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences, there are a total of nine members, five of whom have visited the Sanxingdui Museum.

After all, Sanxingdui is too famous in China.

Anyone who is engaged in archaeology will definitely come to visit if they have the opportunity.

However, there are also four who have never been to the Sanxingdui Museum.

Among them are three newcomers, Chen Han, Zhuang Yunpeng, and Lin Ya.

They are naturally very interested in the Sanxingdui Museum.

Following Lu Ben, a group of ten people soon arrived at the Sanxingdui Museum.

After several expansions, the Sanxingdui Museum is now very large, with an exhibition area of ​​nearly 12000 square meters, which is second to none among domestic museums.

The current Sanxingdui Museum collects and displays more than a thousand precious cultural relics such as bronzes, jade, gold, pottery, and bone unearthed from the Sanxingdui site and the No. [-] and No. [-] Shang Dynasty sacrificial pits in the site.

Among them, the types of bronzes unearthed from Pit No. [-] include human heads, human faces, human masks, kneeling figures, dragon-shaped ornaments, dragon-shaped vessels, tiger-shaped vessels, daggers, rings, Qi-shaped square holes, dragon-tiger statues, and sheep statues. , Ampoules, caps, plates, etc.

The bronze wares unearthed from Pit No. [-] include large bronze standing figures, kneeling figures, human heads, human masks, animal masks, animal faces, altars, sacred trees, sun-shaped objects, eye-shaped objects, eyeballs, copper bells, and copper hanging ornaments , Bronze Ge, Bronze Qi-shaped square hole wall, birds, snakes, chickens, monsters, buffalo heads, deer, catfish, etc.

The more distinctive ones, such as the gold staff from the No. 1.42 Sacrificial Utensil Pit, are 2.3 meters long and 500 centimeters in diameter. They are wrapped with beaten gold foil on a wooden pole, and the net weight is about [-] grams.

There is also a large bronze standing figure unearthed from the No. 180 sacrificial pit. The figure is 260.8 cm high and [-] cm high. It is the earliest and largest bronze ware unearthed in the world.

There is also the famous bronze sacred tree, which is 350 centimeters high. There are many birds, animals, bells and various fruits hanging on the tree. It is a special artifact for ancient wizards.

In addition, more than 40 types of bronze heads and more than 10 masks were unearthed.

The excavation of cultural relics from No. [-] and No. [-] sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui caused a sensation in the archaeological circles of the world.

Now that Chen Han has arrived here, he is equally astonished to see these exquisite bronzes from the Late Shang Dynasty!
