Archaeological experts are going crazy for the tomb-grabbing talisman sold on live broadcast

[Is that a golden coffin in front? Such a big golden coffin must weigh at least ten tons, right? ]

[It's absolutely impossible. I think it's gilded at most, or a layer of gold foil is pasted on it! ]

[What's impossible? You just got here, buddy, you didn't see so much gold and silver on the ground outside, it's not surprising to build a golden coffin! ]

[I have an immature idea. If this place is developed into a tourist attraction, it should be called the ninth wonder of the world, right? ]

[What are you thinking about? The eight wonders of the world are completely different from this, okay? This should be listed separately, the world's first miracle! ]

The netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing fiercely, and the barrage and various gifts were flying all over the screen.

Chen Yibai turned his eyes away from the golden coffin and turned to the several golden statues next to him.

Around the golden coffin, there are twelve golden statues standing, like the guardians of the golden coffin, holding various weapons, also with human bodies and ghost faces, wearing golden armor, with ferocious expressions, and fierce faces, which are lifelike. They stand around the golden coffin, nearly three meters tall, looking majestic, with an invisible majesty and oppression.

The simplest and crudest way to unlock the secrets of the ancient country is to open the coffin directly.

But Chen Yibai did not open the coffin immediately, but turned his eyes to the wall of the golden palace, and turned around and walked over.

In the eight corners of the golden palace, each corner is carved with a mural.

Chen Yibai felt that this should be what he had been looking for. The second half of the history of the ancient country is likely to record some unknown secrets about the ancient country.

Like the murals seen in the corridor before, these eight pictures start from the door and are arranged clockwise to form a comic strip.

The first picture shows a magnificent palace. The appearance of the palace is somewhat familiar, and it is 70% similar to the ancient temple on the ground. From this point of view, the building on the ground is not actually a sacrificial temple, but the palace ruins of the ancient Xi Kingdom.

Outside the palace, there is a large area of ​​tree houses, which is basically the size of an ancient small country.

The second picture shows the two-headed Xi King sitting at the top of the palace, showing his majesty and domineering. Below him are a group of people kneeling in submission. There are many familiar figures, such as a strong man wearing an elephant head, and a plump woman wearing a silver crown. These are the buried Zongzi that Chen Yibai has seen in the 17-story corpse tower below, and the leaders of the 17 conquered tribes.

From the information of these two pictures, it can be basically seen that after conquering the 17 surrounding tribes, the Xi tribe completed the establishment of the ancient Xi Kingdom, and also made the leaders of the 17 tribes kneel down and surrender completely.

Basically, in primitive tribes, the establishment of a country is through war and annexation, and then continue to expand. If there are no accidents, this civilization will continue forever.

Of course, there must be accidents.

Otherwise, this ancient country would not be buried underground.

In the third mural, there is a distant view of the palace of the ancient country. A mountain appears in this distant view. It is not far from the palace of the ancient country, and the mountain is not very big. Compared with the current location, it is just north of the palace ruins.

But in fact, this is a vast tropical rainforest, and there is no mountain at all.

However, the fourth picture that follows gives the answer. There are densely packed people, including many old people and children, all holding various tools in their hands to dig on this mountain. The stones dug out are then subjected to dozens of complex process flows, and finally the stones dug out from the mountain are refined into gold nuggets!

The secret of how this ancient country can have so much gold is directly solved through this mural!

Thousands of years ago, there was a gold mine with extremely high purity in this tropical rainforest!

Then it was completely taken by the ancient country, which resulted in the current mountain of gold treasures.

The primitive tribes at that time should have been mainly concerned with food and survival, so why did they need so much gold?

This point really puzzled Chen Yibai.

Could it be that the ancients simply liked gold?

Chen Yibai was puzzled and continued to look at the fifth mural.

The fifth mural had a very strange sudden change in style. There were dense dark clouds over the palace of the ancient country, and half of the ghost face was hiding in the dark clouds, staring at the ancient country with angry eyes.

On the ground, there were countless dark Yaksha ghosts, like a raging flood that swallowed up the entire ancient country, destroyed all the houses and buildings, and even the towering palace of the ancient country was destroyed and collapsed.

In addition, under this mural, there were dense tadpole characters.

Although Chen Yibai could not understand these fonts, he could use his toes to read them.Anyone can guess that these words must record the course of this disaster.

This disaster must be the main reason for the demise of the ancient country.

But where did these ghosts and yakshas come from?

And there is a ghost face hiding in the dark clouds!

Could it be that thousands of years ago, there really were ghosts and gods in the sky?

This is definitely impossible!

According to Chen Yibai's guess, this fifth mural uses anthropomorphic rhetoric to tell a story of a natural disaster!

Yes, it must be a natural disaster!

The ghosts and yakshas that destroyed the ancient country in the murals are actually natural disasters such as floods or mudslides.

And the ghost face hiding in the dark clouds and staring at the ancient country with angry eyes should be just a weather phenomenon.

As for why the ancient state of Qi at that time regarded this natural disaster as a ghost, it is also easy to understand. The ancient people at that time revered the gods and regarded all natural changes as the control of the gods. This was also the original intention of the ancient people to worship the gods and pray for good weather.

So the ancient state of Qi must have regarded this natural disaster as angering the gods!

The gods punished them by sending ghosts and demons to destroy the ancient state of Qi!

This is why the murals did not show floods, but ghosts and demons.

But in Chen Yibai's opinion, the natural disaster that led to the demise of the ancient state of Qi thousands of years ago was actually mainly caused by man-made disasters.

Chen Yibai also knows a little about geography.

At that time, the gold mountain mined by the ancient state of Qi was just north of the palace ruins, and the terrain was high. When the gold mountain was fully mined, the terrain naturally changed.

In the tropical rainforest, especially during the rainy season, sometimes heavy rain can continue for several months. Without the barrier of the gold mountain, all the accumulated water in the upper reaches will flow back into the lower reaches, thus causing an uncontrollable flood!

So this can also be regarded as a man-made natural disaster. The ancient country of Gu paid the price of extinction because of its large-scale gold mining!
