Chapter 862 is too outrageous
"This is too outrageous..." After listening to the explanation of the Demon King, Liu Xu sat down on the chair in confusion.

It is hard to believe that Westerners are actually the people of the technological world, and that China's disastrous defeat in the face of the West in modern times was actually the reason for the failure of the prehistoric world.

The words of the Demon King sound very outrageous, and no one who writes novels would dare to write the plot in this way, but the problem is that all this can really correspond to the history of the earth.

Before Liu Xu traveled through time, there were two very interesting pieces of news.

The first one is that a girl deliberately made up nearly 1 million words of ancient Russian history on the Internet in order to play games. The time span reached hundreds of years. No one discovered it for two years, and was even discovered by many people. Cited by domestic and foreign experts and scholars, including Russian experts.

Many people regard this as a joke, but it exposes an extremely critical issue, which is why no one has discovered the problems in a fabricated history with so many words for such a long time, or even Even some Russians use it themselves?

There is certainly some carelessness involved, but no matter how you think about it, it is still too bizarre.So is there a possibility that the history of this period is originally blank, so even if you stuff a 200 million-word history of hundreds of years into it, as long as it does not conflict with the main line of history, it will be difficult to discover this period. Is there a problem with history?

For example, it's like someone made up a 200 million-word history of the Xia Dynasty on the Internet. As long as the emperor's name and some major historical battles are included in this history, no one can discover the 200 million-word history of the Xia Dynasty. It's false, because there really isn't much recorded history of the Xia Dynasty, and hundreds of years in it are blank.

Yes, this guess is correct. The reality is this. The entire history of Russia before 1400 years ago, that is, the history before they were invaded by MG, was basically blank, except for the names of some kings and some historical events. , there is nothing else, so even if a girl stuffs 200 million words into it, no one will find the problem. Instead, it is almost possible to write some historical papers by myself.

What’s even more frightening is that it’s not just Russia, but the entire West.

Before 1400, the history of the entire Western world was full of blanks. It was not until they were swept away by the MG that complete and systematic historical records were handed down.

Some readers will feel outrageous when they see this, saying how can those histories be blank? The ancient Roman Empire, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, etc. These are all long and long records in world history. How can they be just one piece? Is it blank?
Then we have to talk about the last interesting news.

That is, a certain professor in China said in an interview that it was not clear whether ancient Roman and Greek civilizations existed, and it was very possible that YLSDD did not have this person. Then it triggered a storm on the entire Internet. For a period of time, Almost all media are debating whether YLSDD exists or not.

Liu Xu does not make judgments here. After all, he himself is not sure whether YLSDD exists, but he knows one thing, that is, no one will argue about the existence of Confucius. This is the core problem.

Professor Jin mentioned three major arguments in the program. I will not discuss the last two arguments, but only the first argument. That is, before the 1th century, YLSDD did not exist in history at all. He suddenly appeared after the 13th century. came out of nowhere.

Well, if nothing else, this is indeed a reality. Liu Xu studies history, so he can guarantee with all his heart that YLSDD does not exist at all in historical documents before the 13th century.

Why is Liu Xu so sure?

Because there are almost no conclusive written materials in the West that have passed carbon-14 identification and have been handed down before the 13th century.

I know this answer may sound outrageous, but it's true.

So why do such outrageous facts appear?There are two reasons. One is that the West has not opened up the technology tree of bamboo slips, and it is impossible for them to master papermaking technology, so it is difficult for them to obtain a carrier that can stably spread the text.

Before the 13th century, if you wanted to leave writing, there were only the following methods.

The first is to use papyrus from ancient Egypt. Many of the so-called written materials discovered before the 13th century were almost all discovered from papyrus.

But Liu Xu can make an outrageous statement here, that is, all the so-called ancient documents on papyrus are all fake, because this kind of paper will scatter when the wind blows, become soft when soaked in water, and will not come out after being buried in the soil. It's all gone in 10 years. How can there be papyrus documents written so clearly stroke by stroke for you to see.

The simplest example is that China invented papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it is impossible to find any ancient paper before the Song Dynasty, because it is really impossible to retain it, and everything has returned to nature. Only bamboo slips and tortoise shells can be passed down.

The second is the use of parchment, which has extremely high preservation properties. Some of the currently credible written materials before the 13th century are basically handed down from parchment.

But parchment is expensive to make, and will be destroyed over time if there are no special means to preserve it.Moreover, parchment cannot be aged at all, it can only be worn away by time. If future generations forge parchment, they will not even be able to keep photos, otherwise even fools will be able to see it.

In addition, there is also the method of stone carving, which is also very reasonable. However, you can refer to the stone carvings discovered in China before the Tang Dynasty to see how the characters on them have weathered, and those found in the West Stone carvings can be used as calligraphy practice books.

By the way, some people have also discovered clay tablets, and they have discovered several clay tablets with written records worth 10 yuan. I won’t say much more about this. It’s something that breaks into pieces when pinched. Anyone who believes it will have a bad IQ.

All in all, there are too few written materials that can be found in the world that can be confirmed to be from before the 13th century.

In addition, there is another extremely critical thing, that is, Western civilization has no habit of systematically recording history.

As early as the Zhou Dynasty, China had clearly recorded historians who would record major events in the world and then store them in the collection room. The famous Lao Tzu was the administrator of the collection room.

But the West has never had such a habit. Their dynasties and countries have never had officials dedicated to recording history. Things happen, they happen, and they pass, and no one records them.

In addition, the Western church is also very disgusted with historians, or they are disgusted with anything that can make the people wise and anything that may impact the rule of gods.

This is the reason why it is difficult to find that Western history before the 13th century is basically blank. However, the living standards of Westerners living in the early 13th century were basically similar to those of China's Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. They were in the Iron Age, and were already in the Iron Age. Compared with China, which developed a large number of firearms, the gap in civilization is at least 1000 years.

Otherwise, why do the West call the Middle Ages the Dark Middle Ages? Because everything in the Middle Ages was dark, and people later could not see the situation before the 13th century.

But all this changed with the arrival of MG.
