At that time, Mustache couldn't see Brother Qiu's eyes behind his back, but he had always been deeply wary of this person, so Brother Qiu couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make a move for the time being, and the two of them got along well for a short time.
, they each recorded the information they wanted. After the information in the entire cave was completely recorded, Mustache focused his attention on the hexagonal thing.
But Brother Qiu really didn’t want Mustache to pay attention to this thing. When Mustache wanted to observe it carefully, Brother Qiu came over to interrupt him, interfered with his thinking, and said some irrelevant words. Mustache knew what Brother Qiu meant, and this was not
He wanted something, so he wasn't very interested, and he didn't want to completely tear his face apart because of this guy, so he only looked at it briefly and then looked away.
From Mustache's observation, this hexagonal thing with a diameter of five or six meters is all silver-white, as if it was cast from a large piece of bright silver, with a metallic luster. The thing is relatively thick, and there must be some silver inside it.
There is something else, but Mustache cannot see it.
Basically all the records in the cave were recorded by two people, but Brother Qiu didn't leave yet. He wanted to wait until nightfall to see the bright light source and those strange noises. The two of them just stayed there.
There was no word here, and Brother Qiu completely gave up on the plan to find out about Mustache’s family, because Mustache knew too much here, just like Brother Qiu said, there are some things that are better not to know, but once you know them
If he doesn't, there will be people who won't tolerate him.
"What is that hexagonal thing?" Mustache knew that Brother Qiu would not tell the truth, and Brother Qiu might not be able to explain this strange thing clearly.
"You won't believe me when I say I don't know, but that's how things are." Brother Qiu leaned against the cave wall, tightened his belt with great difficulty, took something from his backpack, and said while eating, "Me too.
First time here.”
"What do you think of that huge secret that subverts everything?"
"What do you think?" Brother Qiu ate and grinned: "If you want to live in this world, don't think about figuring everything out. It's simply impossible. For example, this...
.”
Brother Qiu held a piece of chocolate in his mouth and pulled out a photo he had just taken from the camera. The photo was the one that recorded the ancient Qiang note-markers, but it was only a part of it. Both Mustache and Brother Qiu knew some note-markers, so they
They can each understand part of it, but the part that Brother Qiu took out is exactly the part that Mustache cannot understand.
"I can't fully understand these, but the general meaning is still clear." Brother Qiu swallowed the chocolate at once, wiped his mouth, and said: "This cave is of extraordinary significance. If these things inside are publicized, it may cause confusion.
There was an uproar. Some of it, to say the least, surprised me."
The owner of this cave is probably the god of the ancient religion. The god does have some extraordinary abilities. He has been active in Tibetan areas and other places. The god's thinking is so advanced that it is unimaginable. Among his followers,
Before they could smelt metal, the gods already had a profound understanding of genes.
In other words, the thinking of the gods was at least thousands of years ahead of those of the people at that time, because it was only thousands of years later that people in this world knew the concept of genes.
"Analysis of the literal meaning shows that the god is not alone. Maybe a long time ago, he had one or a group of companions. Through arguments, they discovered a big secret." Brother Qiu said: "But these contents are interpreted from ancient Qiang texts.
Yes, there is no word gene in ancient Chinese texts. I figured it out based on the previous and later meanings."
"What did they argue?"
"The gods have proposed this theory thousands of years ago, but these theories were sealed in this cave and have never been discovered by anyone. Thousands of years later, modern people proposed similar theories. In other words, after several years of
It took thousands of years of development to keep up with the thinking of the gods."
"Say it simply."
"This secret is about genes." Brother Qiu said: "If you don't have relevant knowledge, then you may not understand it very well, so I will tell you in the most straightforward terms."
This theory was first proposed by Americans. Through a series of surveys and studies, they found that the genetic differences between human races in various regions on the earth, regardless of country, ethnicity, and race are extremely small. Specific details are as small as
To what extent, it’s hard to describe, but the conclusion of the analysis is that all the 6 billion people on the earth today are descended from a very small number of ancient people. All 6 billion people have the same ancestors.
"Is this strange?"
"It's very strange. You may still not fully understand what I mean." Brother Qiu shook his head and said: "Some relevant data obtained from modern research may not be 100% accurate, but the error will not be too large. Our six
One billion people are reproduced by a group of about 5,000 people who lived about 70,000 to 80,000 years ago. Do you know what this concept is?"
It is impossible for Mustache to know any of this. His past life was only related to China's history and the big and small pits.
"Then let me tell you." Brother Qiu finally felt that he had the upper hand in front of Mustache. He was very proud and said: "Seventy thousand to eighty thousand years ago, all the ancient humans on the earth had a total of about
About a million. Speaking of which, don’t you think it’s strange? There are a million people scattered all over the world, but modern humans are descended from a group of 5,000 of them.”
"Where are the others?" When Mustache heard what Brother Qiu said, he immediately understood the weirdness of the matter: "Where are the other 995,000 people?"
"They are dead." Brother Qiu said with certainty: "Except for these five thousand people, the rest are all dead. This theory was first proposed by the Americans, but you have to know that a long, long time ago, this theory
The owner of the cave has recorded similar theories in ancient Qiang script. When I first learned about this theory, I was still very skeptical about it, thinking that it was just a group of experts in the laboratory who passed some data and
The result of my own rich imagination, but after seeing these ancient Qiang records, I changed my view. I don’t know why, but I have a very special trust in the owner of this cave. I don’t think he will
Leave false information behind."
"Why did those ancient humans die?" Mustache found it a bit unbelievable. According to Brother Qiu's story, nearly one million ancient humans lived in every corner of the earth. Floods, famines, wars, and plagues could not have caused such a big disaster.
Massive overall death.
In Mustache's imagination, unless there is an unimaginable huge disaster, all people on the earth will face annihilation.
"What you are thinking is similar to those experts who stay in the laboratory. They are also in the same mood." Brother Qiu ate all the things he took out, touched his belly with satisfaction, and said: "They based on their own investigation.
A series of data were combined to arrive at the final conclusion.”
These people believe that about 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, a super huge volcanic eruption occurred on the earth, and volcanic ash in units of tens of millions of cubic meters spewed out. These volcanic ash spread, blocked the sunlight, and made the entire earth a
In a world wrapped in dust, plants died on a large scale due to lack of sunlight, which brought the ancient humans who lived by gathering and hunting to the brink of death.
Moreover, the erupted materials from giant volcanoes produced chemical reactions, and endless acid rain covered the entire earth.
"They said that those ancient humans were so poor. Except for a few people who were lucky enough to survive this huge disaster in Africa, the rest were all extinct. But, do you believe it?"
"What about you, do you believe it?" Mustache asked.
"Let's not talk about whether these theories are true or not. I just want to say one thing to you." Brother Qiu put away the smile on his face and said: "There were a total of five prehistoric civilizations on the earth. We
, it’s the sixth time, the first five times don’t exist anymore.”
Mustache felt that the topic they were talking about seemed to be getting further and further away. He was just a country boy. Even when he came to the Tibetan area, it was just to find the roots of his family. It was too far and unnecessary.
"Is it useful for you to tell me these things? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"The five civilizations were all after the birth of the earth. If there were no survivors in the devastating disaster more than 70,000 years ago, the world might still be barren until now. You can use your imagination
I have no ability to imagine the five human civilizations that have disappeared, because so far, no obvious traces of their existence can be found." Brother Qiu seemed not to hear what Mustache said, and said to himself: "For
For us, this is actually a secret, and no one is sure that we can completely reveal this secret."
"I'm asking you, what does this have to do with me?"
"Originally, it might not matter. Before you saw those ancient Qiang inscriptions, it really didn't matter at all. But after you see those ancient Qiang inscriptions, you can't say that there is no relationship. At least, you know the huge secret.
existence." Brother Qiu leaned forward, got closer to Mustache, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "If I talk about the extinction that covers the entire world, the extinction of five prehistoric civilizations,
They are all insignificant details in the huge secret that subverts everything. What do you think?"
Mustache's heart shrank suddenly, and Brother Qiu in front of him seemed to have changed in an instant. Regardless of his speech or behavior, Brother Qiu was clearly a man of the Tao, but no one on the Tao would be interested in these things.
.
"I didn't think much about it." Mustache did not avoid Brother Qiu's gaze and stared at him: "I just want to know who you are."
