Lin Fan, on the other hand, returned to Sanxingdui!
In the past few days, many new things have been unearthed in Sanxingdui, among which a lot of jade articles have been unearthed.
"So many jades?"
As soon as Lin Fan came back, he saw that inside the tent, on the table and on the floor, there were all jade articles.
"You're back??"
Mr. Zhou sat on a chair nearby, looked at the jade on the table, then pointed to a seat and said: "Sit down quickly, that's the seat reserved for you!"
"Want to sort?"
"right!"
Lin Fan nodded. Jade articles are divided according to "jade type" and "item shape".
Jade species is very simple, it is the type of jade.
Jade can be divided into jadeite and nephrite, and the jade in our general concept is mainly nephrite.
There are many kinds of nephrite. Hetian jade, which is mutton-fat white jade, is the most famous nephrite, and then there are uranium rock jade, Nanyang jade, Jiuquan jade and so on!
As for jadeite, there is only jadeite!
Bloodstone, etc., are jade in a broad sense, including agate, coral, amber, etc., which are all jade in a broad sense, because the materials are different.
After the Shang Dynasty, our country began to use Hetian jade on a large scale, and various places began to source their own jade locally, such as Lantian jade, which is a unique jade from Lantian County on the edge of the famous Chang'an City.
"Boy, can you tell what kind of jade this is?"
"If you can't tell, then I won't come here. This is Longxi Jade!"
Longxi Jade, also called Min Jade, is a kind of nephrite produced in Sichuan. Its tremolite content can reach 98%, and it contains 2% calcite!
Jade was mainly white and blue, and the same was true for the group of jade materials in front of him. Lin Fan carefully distinguished them and found that there was no need to classify the jade types.
So, next, is the divider shape.
There are many types of utensils, and the shapes of jade utensils can be divided into 60 types.
Therefore, it is not easy to classify!
Soon, Lin Fan's side was divided!
Lin Fan's favorite thing is a Jade Ge!
This thing is a weapon, you can understand it as Ge's head, or a dagger without a handle.
However, the actual jade sword is not for combat. Jade is inherently fragile, especially nephrite, which may not be as strong as the bones when it collides with the enemy's body!
Under such circumstances, it is unreasonable to use it for combat.
Therefore, this is a ritual vessel, used for sacrifices or honor guards.
“It’s divided pretty quickly!”
Mr. Zhou came over and looked at Lin Fan curiously. Lin Fan suddenly smiled, then pointed at the jade on the ground and said, "You have dug so many in the past few days?"
"That's because you were lazy and dug the floor tiles in Pit No. 1, but as you said, there was indeed an earthquake!"
"There must be earthquakes. There are many earthquakes in Sichuan and Sichuan, but only jade objects were found?"
"Of course it's not just that, there are a lot of bronzes, too many things!"
Lin Fan nodded, looked around, and found that nothing happened to him. He stood up and walked outside and said, "I'm going to help outside!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Lin Fan entered the pit again. Pit No. 1 was almost ready. Lin Fan's joining was announced today.
Then came Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3. By the end of September, Pit No. 4 had not even started yet!
However, starting from Pit No. 3, things became less chaotic and more orderly. From this point of view, the earthquake fluctuations did not come from the center of Sanxingdui or from the opposite side of Pit No. 1, but from the center of Sanxingdui or from the opposite side of Pit No. 1.
We came from the back side of Pit No. 1.
Therefore, by the time we reach Pit No. 4, the power has been weakened too much.
Lin Fan suddenly dug out a touch of gold!
gold!
However, upon taking a closer look, Lin Fan instantly realized something was wrong. This thing was too thin!
"Gold foil!"
Lin Fan's eyes widened for a moment, and then he suddenly thought of something. As expected, he gently swept it away and took a breath of air.
I have dug the No. 1 sacrificial pit!
This means that things in Sanxingdui are really going to start to appear!
When the bronze figure was being erected, Lin Fan was nervous, thinking that there was the No. 2 sacrificial pit over there, but now it seemed that the direction was wrong, because there was nothing else in the No. 2 sacrificial pit.
This made Lin Fan realize that it was very possible that the Bronze Standing Man was moved out for unknown reasons, while the No. 2 Sacrifice Pit was still deeper.
Now, with the gold-leaf tiger-shaped weapon in front of him, Lin Fan did not dare to say that this was Pit No. 1.
Therefore, after carefully taking down the gold foil tiger-shaped device, Lin Fan directly shouted: "Send it to the experts!"
No one raised their heads, not because they were not curious, but because their curiosity had been almost worn away!
All kinds of shocking things appear every day, and these people are now used to it.
Lin Fan continued to dig, but soon, a group of people ran out.
"Lin Fan, where did you find this thing?"
"I'm here!"
As soon as Lin Fan raised his hand, a group of experts came over and started cleaning together.
"It's very shocking, gold foil!"
In fact, it is not as good as modern gold foil, but it is still very impressive.
Gold itself has very strong malleability. The gold foil tiger-shaped device that Lin Fan has now swept out is an affirmation of the handicrafts of Chinese civilization.
Although gold has good malleability, it does not mean that it can be pulled and pulled at will like dough!
But it requires the help of quite good craftsmanship.
"nice one!"
Lin Fan suddenly smiled, feeling proud.
Soon, Lin Fan made another discovery!
Bronze Ge!
The width is 3 cm to 4 cm, the length is 20 cm, and the error will not exceed 1 cm!
The entire Ge has only its head, which is a very sharp, thin-waisted isosceles triangle. What's even more frightening is that there are jagged openings on both sides.
This looks like a brutal murder weapon!
Logically speaking, such a weapon should be classified as a "war weapon", but Lin Fan gently held it in his hand through his gloves and found that it was not lethal at all.
This is an imitation ritual vessel!
It is speculated that Sanxingdui cross-shaped bronze Ge is used as a guard of honor during religious ritual performances!
It has no killing effect.
"Come!"
Lin Fan carefully sent the things out, and then continued to dig, but within a few moments, he found that he had hit something again!
With a gentle sweep, Lin Fan's eyes widened!
Then I suddenly became nervous and excited.
"Be careful!"
The two professors next to Lin Fan glanced at each other and couldn't move their eyes away at all!
"Be careful!"
Seeing Lin Fan speeding up, the two people quickly issued a warning.
Everyone around looked over curiously and saw that it was half Tiger Lord!
Everyone looked over nervously. No matter if it was placed in any era, this thing would be a national treasure, because the Tiger King was 100% used for sacrifice.
The objects offered for sacrifice are basically national treasures!
He carefully took it out. As soon as this thing appeared, everyone around him exclaimed. Strictly speaking, this is the second national treasure level existence. The first one was also made by Lin Fan, a bronze standing figure!
"Antioxidants!"
Lin Fan quickly took out antioxidants from his pocket, sprayed it on it, and then stayed still while the breeze blew slowly around him. With such a breeze, antioxidants could be added to form a layer of protection on the surface of objects.
Because it is not a chemical product, but a polymer product, it will not cause any harm to the utensils.
The so-called antioxidants still take the isolation route. To put it simply, they are sprayed on objects to directly form a special protective film that is invisible to the naked eye and difficult to destroy. This protective film does not stick to your hands.
, once it solidifies, it cannot be washed off unless you use special tools to clean it.
Then, relying on the tight molecular structure, a protective film is formed to protect the cultural relics and avoid contact between the cultural relics and oxygen.
To put it bluntly, it means cutting off oxygen!
Five minutes later, the entire Tiger King had not changed much.
There will definitely be changes, as long as it is excavated, it will be exposed to oxygen.
After all, this is bronze, not porcelain. If it were porcelain, it would still be as bright as new.
"I'm holding it, my hand is steady!"
Lin Fan dragged this thing gently. Don't underestimate it, this thing is quite heavy.
Soon, as Lin Fan picked it up, everyone exclaimed. Then looking at the thing in Lin Fan's hand, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at it carefully. Who told Lin Fan to walk slowly!
Of course I watched it all the way!
"Be careful and get out of the way!"
Lin Fan shouted to the people in front of him, and everyone gave way to Lin Fan. Then Lin Fan stepped onto the ground and quickly entered the tent!
"Slow down!"
"I know!"
Lin Fan slowly put down the Tiger Lord in his hand, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked over with everyone!
The thing in front of me cannot be called Tiger Master, but it must be called Dragon Tiger Master!
Because there is a dragon up there!
On the shoulders, three dragons are cast in high relief, showing a crawling shape. The dragon heads protrude from the shoulders, the dragon horns are in a high columnar configuration, the dragon eyes are round, and the body is decorated with diamond-shaped heavy rings.
There are three groups of identical patterns on the abdomen of the statue, the main patterns are tigers and humans in high relief. A human figure is cast under the tiger's neck, with the human head facing the tiger's mouth. The figure bends its arms and raises them, and squats with its legs spread apart.
This is very similar to the Shang Dynasty’s image of “human and tiger combined into one body”!
This theme shows people's worship of tigers!
Since ancient times, humans have actually looked at tigers very highly. After all, tigers are creatures that can keep pace with dragons.
In fact, Lin Fan has no doubt that dragons once existed in this world. Let alone the fact that dragons are imaginary among the twelve zodiac signs, and the fact that so many creatures have become extinct since ancient times, Lin Fan really has no doubts about dragons.
The presence.
Maybe it was some kind of mutated creature, or a creature that was extremely rare, but it definitely existed.
It’s just that no one has actually seen it, or has any truly convincing image data left behind.
In another ten thousand years, when a series of modern animals become extinct, can you believe that there will still be half-mammals with duck-billed creatures in this world?
Let alone the platypus 10,000 years later, modern scientists cannot believe that this thing really exists.
"There's something in there!"
Because the entire copper vessel was very large, more than 40 centimeters in length, and the inside of the vessel was filled with soil, Lin Fan did not look carefully. Now he simply started to clean the contents of the vessel, but to his surprise, there was something inside.
After careful inspection, Lin Fan's eyes widened, because the thing that was taken out was a jade egg. It was actually a small piece of jade that was polished and made into an egg-like jade object.
“And shellfish!”
As soon as he put it down, Lin Fan started rummaging around again, and found that there was indeed something else, and this thing was even more shocking.
It's shellfish!
There are indeed a large number of shellfish in Sanxingdui. What are they used for?
money?
No, it's a decoration!
Because there are obvious carvings and perforations on it.
There must be a string here that can hang these shellfish.
"Can anyone tell what kind of shellfish this is?"
Mr. Zhou was also nervous because this was a very serious topic!
"The wear is a bit serious and is a sign of post-processing, but what is certain is that this is a seashell!"
"real?"
"Really, because that one in your hand is a conch..."
"..."
Everyone almost laughed out loud. The old man was also very excited. He didn't feel like he was being complained about by Lin Fan at all. Instead, he said excitedly: "This is Sichuan. Can there be conches?"
"There is no conch anywhere in the world..."
It might have been the sea before, and it could be found in the desert. Why can't it be found in the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin?
This is a very important discovery, even more important than the discovery of jade.
"It is now basically certain that Sanxingdui is a place of worship!"
Yes, judging from what has been unearthed so far, this is 100% a sacrificial place!
Lin Fan's inference is naturally based on the evidence. Judging from the cultural relics unearthed, especially the bronze dragon and tiger statue in front of him, were the remaining shells and jade artifacts thrown in casually?
No, there are still signs of burning things!
So this can definitely be left behind after the sacrifice.
According to ancient rules, this thing was not cleaned, so over time, it remained.
"Be careful, be careful, there are still plant ash left here!"
Lin Fan continued to clean inside, and sure enough, at the very bottom, he found the charred remains, which were still preserved after three or four thousand years.
This made everyone cheer.
What is this? These are traces left by ancient people. Different from works of art, these are traces left by ancient people’s activities.
It would be as exciting as if someone accidentally dug into your house ten thousand years from now and pointed at the line on the wall or the line your parents drew on the wall or pillar when they were tallying your height since childhood. These are all traces of human activity!
Before Lin Fan traveled through time, some archaeologists dug out ancient children's homework books, which immediately caused a sensation on the entire Internet. There were even poems that ancient children did not want to learn, which made the entire Internet boil.
Everyone likes this little ancestor very much.
You see, since ancient times, children have not liked studying.
"Let everyone be careful, you still have to wear chemical protective clothing!"
too hot!
The sun is blazing outside now. Wearing chemical protective clothing in this weather can suffocate people to death.
"It's better to do it at night, the sun is too strong!"
At night, the light is not good, and many large searchlights will damage the antiques.
"Come up first!"
Lin Fan asked everyone to come up first, and then quickly, because the weather was too hot, now he needed to find a place to drill holes!
Gotta vent!
Otherwise, it would be terrible if there are toxic gases down there!
There are many scientific researches on ancient ruins that have problems due to poisoning.
So everyone is very careful.
Lin Fan went through it himself, but he still has this skill.
