As the stone door slowly opened, what I saw in front of me was not just darkness. It seemed that civilization had begun to take root here five thousand years ago, and there were things we had never seen and things we didn't understand.

There is a huge hole inside the gate, and light shines through the top of the hole. Many plants grow here, and there is no shadow of the desert at all. There are rivers and streams. No wonder these ancient people can survive underground for so long.

time, but it all seems really incredible.

"Hesha, how did you discover them?" Brother Peng couldn't hold back his curiosity at first.

"These people were not discovered by us, but by the people who sold us the maps. Since we spent a lot of money, we must get enough information." Hesha said.

"Who are they? It's amazing." Brother Peng asked.

"I don't know." Hersha replied.

"Probably someone with some agenda. How could a normal person find a place like this?" I said with a hint.

Hesha ignored me and walked forward slowly, and we followed her without saying a word.

The civilization here is still far behind the outside world. Just like the uncivilized ethnic groups in the Amazon rainforest, people simply only use their private parts. Hesha said that only nobles can wear clothes. The place is divided from the main street, with Sumei on the left.

The Sumerians, and on the right are the Amorites. The first person we have to meet is the Sumerian leader.

The buildings in the underground world are different from those on the ground. If humans want to survive, sunlight, air, water and food are indispensable. However, sunlight underground will not be reflected from all directions. They can only get light from the top, and it never rains here.

It rains, so their houses have no roofs, and there are no high-rise buildings. They are simply piles of dirt, with grass tendons inside. I vaguely remembered a long time ago that my grandma seemed to live in such a house, but it obviously had to be

A bit more luxurious than these.

There is sufficient groundwater here, I don’t know if it is the undercurrent of the Tigris River or the Euphrates River, but it is very sufficient. The cat couldn’t drink the water for a long time, so he went down to the river and took a few sips. Apparently he still didn’t understand the coldness of all the groundwater.

, but looking at his expression twisted by the ice, you can tell that he will pay attention to it in the future.

The leader's house is similar to that of ordinary people, but the area is larger. What surprised me is that the evolution of the Sumerians is completely different from ours. Because of the lack of food, each of them was pitifully thin. Also because of their thinness,

So many women die after giving birth to children, which is one of the reasons why the population has been unable to grow. There is a lack of sufficient light, so their skin is horribly white and full of wrinkles. Hesha said that here, almost

Very few people live beyond thirty-five years, and the old leader of the Sumerians is now fifty years old.

He kept muttering something to himself, and next to him seemed to be his son or grandson. His missing teeth and bald forehead made me think he was actually over a hundred years old.

"Hello, respected Sumerian chief, I have brought a guest from afar." Hesha said in their dialect.

The old leader raised his head slightly, glanced at Hesha and said, "Jiligulu."

Damn, it’s the same as the Tuvan language that Kelsang and the others spoke before. I can’t understand it at all.

"The old leader has something to tell you." Hesha pushed me.

I stepped forward helplessly, cupped my fists and said, "Hello!" I couldn't help it. I didn't know how the Iraqis greeted him, but it was obvious that I couldn't go up and shake hands with him.

The Sumerian leader just kept looking at me and said nothing.

"Dear Caliph, do you have anything to say to me on behalf of Allah?" I asked Hesha to translate it for me, but she was rejected.

Brother Peng said with a painful look on his face: "I said you don't learn any knowledge at all. You don't have any common sense at all. Islam was founded by Muhammad in the seventh century AD, more than three thousand years later than they came. He

You know what kind of onion Allah is!”

I slapped my forehead: "That's it."

After watching for a long time, the old leader finally started mumbling again. Of course, I couldn't understand it, so Hesha translated it while listening.

He is the king of uruk, one-third human and two-thirds god. He is very cruel to the people, so his people asked the creation goddess Aruru to create a person with the same power as him. He is enkiduenkidu. When he was born, he was no different from a beast. The hunter discovered

He lost his power. The prostitute brought Enkidu to the city of Uruk. He met Gilgamesh at a wedding. They fought but became good friends. Gilgamesh asked him to rule Uruk together. There was a peaceful life, Gilgamesh thought.

They went to kill Hombaba, the monster in the cedar tree. They killed the demon and made a gate out of the tallest cedar. The goddess of love, Ishtar, fell in love with him and wooed him. Gilgamesh refused. Ishtar was very angry, so he asked his father, the god Anu.

bull of heaven, gilgamesh won, enkidu one day dreamed that the gods were in a meeting, discussing how to let one of them die. Finally, enkidu died, gilgamesh was very sad. He thought, should I die too? So he planned to ask the longest living person.

After an adventure, I went to the Lake of Death to get the herb (for immortality), but was eaten by a snake.

I listened to a lot of jabbering, but I couldn't remember it well or understand it, so I asked Hesha: "What do you mean?"

Before Hesha opened her mouth, Brother Peng had already stammered: "This is Gilgamesh."

"What kind of food?" I asked in confusion.

"It's not a delicacy, it's the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is a hero of the Sumerians. This epic records the legend about him, similar to the epic of King Gesar of our Tibetan people in China." Brother Peng

explained.

I said "oh" but still didn't understand.

Brother Peng said patiently: "I have cut down some information on this before, let me tell you about it."

Hesha made a please gesture, obviously she didn't want to bother to say anything to me.

The story mainly tells that Gilgamesh was the ruler of the city of Uruk a long time ago. He claimed to be two-thirds of gods and one-third of humans, and he did many evil things. With his power, he robbed men, dominated women, and forced

The residents of the city built city walls and temples, causing the people great suffering. The people in distress prayed to the gods in the sky to save themselves, and the gods asked Aluru to create a half-man, half-animal warrior Enkidu to fight with Gilgamesh.

Fighting. The two used all their abilities, but they still couldn't decide the outcome. They both admired each other's bravery, so they became friends and went to benefit the people together and became heroes loved by everyone. Gilgamesh and Enkidu worked together to win the battle.

They killed Humbaba, the forest monster who harmed humans, and killed the long-horned beetle that harmed the residents of Uruk. However, they offended the gods by killing the long-horned beetles, and the gods punished them. One of them must die. As a result, Enkidu

After his death, Gilgamesh was very sad. He felt the horror of death and prayed for God's help. He crossed mountains and seas and went through many hardships, and finally found the place where his ancestors who were listed in the gods lived. He knew from his ancestors,

There was a kind of fairy grass that could bring people back to life, so he jumped into the sea to find it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, when he was bathing in the spring, the fairy grass he found after all the hard work was snatched away by a snake. Gilgamesh

He was so discouraged that he had no choice but to return to the city of Uruk. At this time, he missed his deceased friend Enkidu even more, asked for God's help, and met Enkidu's ghost. He asked Enkidu to tell him "the law of the earth".

"Tell him, then you understand that people cannot live forever.

"Fuck, Brother Peng, I think you are the most awesome in the world." I feel like I have admired Brother Peng, he can actually remember such boring things.

"Nothing, just what I'm interested in." Brother Peng said modestly.

I asked the old leader again: "Why are you telling me this?"

The old leader gestured and kept shouting: "hombaba, hombaba."

"It sounds like he's talking about Humbaba. The story you just told seems to also contain this word." I asked Brother Peng.

"Well, Humbaba was a magical beast during the Gilgamesh period. He guarded a mysterious cedar forest. He had seven bodies and seven rays of light. In the narrative poem, the forest where Humbaba lives is approximately 10 km from Uruk on foot.

A place of one and a half months. This forest inhabited by monsters is so vast that it is said to be 1.07 million kilometers long. The door at the entrance of the forest is equipped with magic that will paralyze you if touched, and a terrifying evil cloud guarding the door. According to

Narrative poems record Humbaba. It is a very terrifying monster that screams like a flood, breathes fire from its mouth, and can spit poisonous breath. Because of its huge body, wherever Humbaba goes in the forest, it is a mess. From this incident

It is also speculated that Hamba is a snake-like dragon. Also, it is said that it looks like a head with horns of a bison, feet with claws of a vulture, and a tail like a snake." Brother Peng said again in a rude manner.

A lot.

"A huge one? A snake-like dragon? The horns of a bison, the claws of a vulture, and the tail of a snake. Isn't this almost the image of a Chinese dragon?" I asked in surprise.

"Yes, I think so too." Brother Peng said.

I thought again, no, this should not be a dragon. This is connected with the nine sons of the dragon. Ever since I saw Chi Qi in Kanas Lake, I started investigating dragons. There are many.

According to the data, the dragon had a son who looked very similar to him. He was called Fuxi, who was shaped like a dragon. He was the eighth oldest son and was good at writing. The Wenlong on both sides of the stone tablet is his portrait. Chinese tablets have a long history and are rich in content. They have

The shape of the stele is simple and simple, the body of the stele is smooth, bright, and the light is discernible; some are exquisitely carved, with graceful words and vivid writing; some are stone carvings of famous poems and essays, which are popular among people and have been praised throughout the ages. And it is said that Fu Xi is very fond of it.

This kind of inscription that shines with artistic brilliance is willing to turn into a pattern and text dragon to set off these handed down literary treasures, making the base of the stele more elegant and beautiful. They are entangled with each other and seem to be slowly squirming, in harmony with the domineering shape of the base.

Together, they look even more spectacular.
