Tomb Raiders: I can’t explain clearly, I’m really a history teacher

Chapter 20 Professional Response and Tolerance
The members of the archaeological team spent their days like years at the mouth of the well waiting for the news of the bodyguards who explored the way.

A few minutes later, the two bodyguards returned to the entrance and reported the situation:

"Captain, Professor Chen, Teacher Lin, there is sufficient oxygen below, and no toxic gas has been detected for the time being. Visually, the tomb is well preserved and can be entered."

At this time, the two bodyguards had subconsciously included Lin Qi as the leader of the archaeological team.

Although Lin Qizhen was only going to the tomb in person for the first time.

The other members of the archaeological team did not feel that there was anything inappropriate about this behavior.

Everyone was immersed in the excitement and anticipation of the good news brought back by the two bodyguards who explored the path.

Chen Dehai even rearranged his appearance excitedly, and he even felt that he was more than ten years younger at this time:

"It's the best news for us that the tomb is well preserved!"

"Fortunately, this is an ancient tomb in the middle of the desert, there is no moisture, so I think the situation inside the tomb should be good!"

"Everyone, cheer up! The secret of this ancient tomb is right in front of our eyes!"

The members of the surrounding archaeological team all gave an excited cheer:

"Oh!"

"set off!"

"If we can discover the secrets of this ancient tomb, it will be enough for us to go out and brag for a lifetime!"

……

The team walked in from the steps at the mouth of the well amidst laughter.

This step was much longer than what Lin Qi had seen in film and television dramas in his previous life.

So the tomb on the second floor is deeper than the ancient tomb in Lin Qi's impression.

The flashlights of the members of the archaeological team were not enough to illuminate all the tombs below, and they could only illuminate the steps under their feet in the dark.

Lin Qi thought about these different places in his heart.

But he didn't panic at all, instead he became more curious about this ancient tomb because of these different places.

There are unknown challenges, which makes Lin Qi feel that this action is more exciting.

The team moved forward slowly.

Three bodyguards took the lead, three bodyguards came back, and the rest of the bodyguards interspersed among the staff of the archaeological team in the middle to protect.

Lin Qi was also the object of protection, walking in the middle of the team.

Gao Yan and Chen Dehai were still walking with Lin Qi.

Gao Yan walked in the front among the three, and while walking forward, he couldn't help turning around and asking:

"Mr. Lin, Professor Chen, are the stone statues with human heads just to raise those desert army ants?"

"If this is the case, then the owner of the tomb is really cruel and arrogant!"

Chen Dehai laughed twice when he heard the words, and replied:
"The ancient princes, generals and nobles were so cruel and arrogant, on the one hand, it was also because of the backward civilization and system at that time."

"History is always progressing, and we can only know how far we have come on the track of history only by constantly looking back at the past history."

"It is also possible to know what kind of progress and development we have experienced in the past thousands of years, so that we have our life today."

"This is also the beauty of our study of history."

Gao Yan nodded:

"I understand what you mean, Professor Chen, so this is why I love history."

"But I still don't understand why it must be these stone statues?"

"Obviously you can put something else."

Professor Chen was quiet for a moment, and also showed a meaningful expression.

"Does Teacher Lin have any ideas?"

This time, Chen Dehai still chose Lin Qi's name.

But this time, no one interrupted Lin Qi to fight for the opportunity to perform in this live broadcast like Professor Gao and Zhao Fei did before.

On the one hand, it is because they already know that Professor Chen is not asking this question to give someone a chance to show off, but he is really asking this question.

On the other hand, the members of the archaeological team also realized that only Lin Qi is the one who really understands this ancient tomb!
Grabbing this so-called performance opportunity with Lin Qi is simply asking for humiliation!

No one interrupted, Lin Qi replied smoothly:
"Perhaps, these stone statues are the symbols of the country of the owner of the tomb, or the tribe of the nation."

"The biggest feature of these stone head sculptures is that the proportion of eyes is particularly large."

"I think they might want to express something related to the eyes."

Gao Yan nodded again:
"I also think the eyes of these stone statues are too big, half of the face is covered with eyes."

"I thought it was because people in this place have such big eyes."

Gao Yan's words made the team members around him laugh.

"But Xiaoyan, the idea you said is not completely unreasonable."

"Everything must wait for us to thoroughly crack the secret of this ancient tomb before we can draw a real conclusion."

In this way, the team proceeded in a very harmonious and steady rhythm.

A few minutes later, the first few bodyguards reported loudly:
"arrive!"

"Everyone watch your step!
Soon, the entire archaeological team went down the steps smoothly.

Everyone's flashlights were shining around, and they kept making small exclamations.

"Wow, this is really a second floor ancient tomb!"

"The area of ​​this tomb is too big, right?"

"Although it's chilly inside the tomb, why do I feel like my blood is boiling all over?"

"I really want to know what is the secret in this tomb!"

……

I saw that under the aperture of more than 20 flashlights, the overall picture of the tomb had already begun to take shape.

The tomb chamber is very spacious, with three or four classrooms the size of a standard classroom with 60 people.

The surrounding walls are tightly sealed, without any exits or entrances.

The only thing that can communicate with this tomb is the long stone steps that the archaeological team came in.

The surrounding walls are full of murals, mixed with very obscure ancient characters.

In the tomb, there are almost dozens of stone statues that the archaeological team saw in the corridor.

Behind the stone statue, there are several well-preserved wooden coffins.

The members of the archaeological team excitedly used flashlights to shine around, observing the approximate size of the tomb.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the surrounding walls instantly lit up with bright flames.

"what!"

"Scare me!"

"The lights on the wall are on!"

The fire that suddenly lit up on the wall caused the members of the archaeological team to scream in surprise.

Chen Dehai comforted him:

"Don't be nervous, everyone, this should be the ever-burning lamp in this tomb."

"The entrance has been closed before, and there was not enough oxygen to meet the combustion conditions. Now that we have opened the entrance, there is already oxygen in this tomb that meets the combustion conditions."

"So it's normal for the permanent lights to be on, and it allows us to work in a brighter environment."

"And everyone, take a look at Mr. Lin, this is the response and bearing that a true professional should have."
