Chapter 1115 Confrontation of Viewpoints
They were roughly divided into three factions.

One view is the theory of extraterrestrial civilization.

People who hold this view believe that Zongmu people are not human at all, because most of the totems left behind by human civilization today have human faces and animal bodies, with few distorted human heads. This is not in line with the culture of sacrificial beliefs.The protruding eyes and towering ears of Zongshou are similar to "clairvoyance and wind ears", like astronomical telescopes and radar receivers.

The ancestors of Sanxingdui must have seen alien civilizations and marveled at the miraculous abilities of aliens. They used this abstract way to express horror and belief.

Another view is the Silkworm Cong Look Theory.

They believe that "Huayang Guozhi" has recorded: "The Zhou Dynasty lost its rules and regulations, and Shu first became king. There was Shuhou Cancong, whose eyes were vertical, and then he became king."Sanxingdui is a cultural relic of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It is obviously mentioned here that King Cancong of Shu "had vertical eyes", so this huge portrait with large vertical eyes must be like the king of Shu.

As for why the King of Shu looks like this, it may be because of the lack of iodine in the ancient Shu Kingdom, or it may be due to genetic problems. Basically everyone has big eyes and ears. When casting, people used exaggerated expressions on the face of the King of Shu.Moreover, it is said that there are descendants of Zongmu people somewhere in Sichuan Province, and their appearance and characteristics are similar. Once genetic biology develops to a certain extent, it will definitely be possible to decipher them.

There is also the theory of legacy of prehistoric civilization.

These people deny both aliens and the theory that the Da Zongmu people are Cancong, the king of Shu.Their view is that Sanxingdui dates from the late Neolithic Age to the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties.With the labor productivity at this time point, it is simply impossible to smelt bronze to such a high degree of precision. It completely violates the laws of society.

The large number of cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui that transcend the times prove that there may have been a prosperous prehistoric civilization in that area. However, due to the solar storm that hit the earth 9000 years ago, global glaciers melted and floods broke out, and human prehistoric civilization was devastated. After the blow, many civilizational relics remained, such as Mayan City, water erosion marks on the Sphinx, etc. Sanxingdui is also one of them.

Later, the ancient Shu Kingdom accidentally discovered the bronze leftovers from the prehistoric civilization in Sanxingdui, which they considered to be miracles. In the beginning, the cultural relics inside are beyond the results of historical productivity, and the Dazongmu people are what prehistoric civilized humans looked like.

The discussion was lively and interesting.

Chairman Liu holds the last view.

to the end.

Because I was introduced by President Liu as his teacher, I remained silent. Everyone looked at me expectantly, hoping that I would express my opinion.

I don’t have much opinion on things in Sanxingdui because they are too mysterious. Everything can only be revealed by time.

I said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, I don't have any opinions to share."

Chairman Liu said: "Brother Su, you are being humble. Are we all discussing freely? It doesn't matter if you are wrong. Everyone applauds and invites you!"

Seeing that Chairman Liu respected me so much, everyone laughed and clapped.

The atmosphere is here.

If I don't say a few words, I look really uneducated.

I said: "All three views have certain basis, but I have several doubts."

"The view of aliens is too thin. The so-called so-called isolated evidence cannot be established. If the ancestors of Sanxingdui really saw aliens, in addition to their heads, they would at least cast other non-human civilization things, such as spaceships, technological instruments and even aliens." However, except for the resemblance of a human head, not only are there no non-human civilization instrument castings in the ruins, there are even no castings for alien bodies. It is too low to rely on this alone to prove aliens."

"The view that Da Zongmu Man is the appearance of Cancong, the king of Shu, has a logical problem. You are based on the record of King Shu's 'His Mu Zong' in "Huayang Guozhi", but you have forgotten the previous sentence, 'Zhou lost its rules, Shu first "Proclaimed king". The latest time for Sanxingdui was the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. That is to say, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Sanxingdui had become a sacrificial pit. But Cancong lost his discipline during the weekend period and the world was in chaos. King. How could he look like the last king of Shu in the Zhou Dynasty and appear in the sacrificial pit in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty 800 years ago?"

"The theory that the remains of the last prehistoric civilization remain is the most credible, but it also has flaws in reasoning. The solar storm caused a great flood more than 9000 years ago, which may indeed have destroyed prehistoric civilization. But if such a brilliant bronze civilization existed in the Sichuan Basin at that time, according to Based on the concept of productivity convergence, similar bronze civilizations will also exist in places with the same environment and climate and similar locations. There must be remains after being hit by floods. Then we have searched all places. So far, why only Sanxingdui has this kind of bronze civilization? Others There have never been statues, castings or totems of prehistoric civilizations with protruding eyes and big ears in this place?”

These words come out.

The whole audience suddenly fell silent.After a while.

One of them asked: "Mr. Su, in your opinion, where did the Da Zong Mu people come from?"

I laughed and said, "I really have no idea. I hope future generations will discover the truth."

Even if you have an idea.

I don't say either.

Firstly, I was just making blind guesses. Secondly, I just received a message from Xia Xi. He told me that it was done and there was no need to delay these people's discussion time.

In fact, I personally think that the Da Zongmu mask may not be a human being, but a kind of creature worship, and this creature is most likely a silkworm.

The ancient Shu Kingdom was a silkworm kingdom.

Doesn't the word "Shu" look a bit like a baby silkworm in a cocoon?
In the "Yin Xu Dui Classification", Shu is directly explained as silkworm. The images of Shu and silkworm in oracle bone inscriptions are almost exactly the same.

The character Cancong, King of Shu, is a silkworm and a god of silkworms in ancient myths and legends. He may not really exist. "Huayang Guozhi" may be just an expression of the author's storytelling.

Silkworms were the lifeblood of ancient Shu, providing clothing and food for the people. It is reasonable for people to worship silkworms as anthropomorphic deities.

Many historical remains contain similar examples of anthropomorphic worship of animals.

If you carefully look at the photo of the silk moth's head with a magnifying glass, you will find that the appearance of the mask is very similar to that of the silk moth. The pair of large compound eyes and long ears are actually the antennae on the silk moth's head, and there is no chin.

As for why the eyes and ears are specially highlighted, because although the silkworm moth has large compound eyes, it can't actually see anything. The so-called ears of the silkworm moth are the antennae on its head, which can only simply sense some changes in the environment.In fact, it is a flaw of this kind of creature, but the ancients may have deified these two things and expressed them in an exaggerated way.

Of course, this is just my personal speculation without any evidence.

Friends who study Sanxingdui culture just treat me as nonsense.

The crowd started to leave.

Before leaving, most people took the initiative to hand me their business cards and said they looked forward to making friends with me and having in-depth exchanges next time.

After they all left.

President Liu shook his fan: "Brother Su, your question just now is really exciting! You must have some ideas about the Great Zongmu Mask, tell me quickly!"

Xiaozhu did not attend the seminar and stayed outside.

Right now.

Xiaozhu suddenly said: "Someone ran out of the treasure room!"
