The history of the Xia Dynasty is definitely the most mysterious existence for the entire archaeological world!
You know, over the years, no ancient tomb from the Xia Dynasty has ever been discovered. Much of the history of the Xia Dynasty comes from folk legends, and there are very few real historical materials.
If this is really an ancient tomb from the Xia Dynasty, the study of the Xia Dynasty will open a new page, which will leave a heavy mark in the entire archaeological world, and their names will also become famous because of this discovery.
Archeology.
The excited Wang Zhong even forgot that he had ridiculed that this ancient tomb could not be from before the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
"It's very possible, but further confirmation is needed. Time is running out. Let's check the ancient tomb as soon as possible!" Professor Wang Yan nodded.
"Okay, but which way should we go in first?" Ye Xiu pointed to the passages on the left and right and asked.
The three professors looked at each other, and finally Professor Hu said: "It has been a long time since we came in, and we cannot delay it any longer. Judging from the layout of this ancient tomb, it is not too big. I want everyone to split up.
It’s better to investigate!”
Ye Xiu frowned. To be honest, this ancient tomb was full of weirdness. He was unwilling to split up, but he also understood that archeology is not a tour. Just walk through the ancient tomb. Many places require careful observation and study.
It takes a long time. If we don't work separately, we don't know how long it will take to fully explore the entire tomb.
"Okay!" Ye Xiu finally nodded.
Finally, Professor Hu and his three assistants Wang Zhong, Li Shiyan and Wu Fei entered from the left, while Professor Li, Professor Wang and the other two assistants entered from the right.
Ye Xiu called Chu Tianhe, Long Zimu was responsible for protecting Professor Hu and others, and Feng Zhennan was temporarily assigned as the team leader, taking Yang Chenhao and Ye Yuting to follow Professor Li and the other four.
After telling everyone to be careful again, Ye Xiu took the lead and walked into the passage on the left. Professor Hu, supported by Li Shiyan, followed closely behind, followed by Wang Zhong and Wu Fei, followed by Chu Tianhe and Long Zimu.
The passage on the left is not long. After walking a few steps, you turned a corner and arrived at another tomb.
This tomb is slightly smaller than the previous tomb. There is an animal statue that looks like a horse in the middle, and a huge stone knife is inserted next to it.
In addition, there are some fragmentary stone tools.
On both sides of the tomb, there were some simple patterns carved on it. Even Long Zimu and Chu Tianhe, who knew nothing about archeology, knew that these patterns should record the life of the owner of the stone tomb.
From those simple patterns, we can tell that the owner of this stone tomb should be a military general.
The stone knife was probably the weapon he used in front of him, and the statue was also probably the mount in front of him.
"You guys, please record it first and don't miss any details!" Professor Hu said to Wang Zhong and Wu Fei.
The two nodded, Wang Zhong took out his camera, Wu Fei picked up the flashlight, and began to take pictures of the patterns. Professor Hu, with the help of Li Shiyan, continued to study the patterns.
Ye Xiu and others were guarding the surroundings. Everything was calm and nothing happened.
After the records were almost finished, the seven people continued to walk forward and came to another tomb. The structure of this tomb was very similar to the previous tomb, except that the mount statue in the middle was a horse with horns on its head, which was a bit strange.
Like the unicorn in myth and legend, the weapon also became a stone spear.
The patterns on the wall should also be recorded life trajectories. Many patterns are very similar to the patterns on the previous stone tomb.
Professor Hu frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
However, he did not make any further judgments. After the students finished recording, they continued to move forward.
The third tomb is larger in area than the previous two, but the overall structure is still similar, except that there are more patterns on the wall. The mount in the middle is a particularly majestic deer, but the surface of the body is carved with scales.
Professor Hu's eyebrows became more solemn, and even Li Shiyan on the side realized something was wrong.
It is normal for ordinary military commanders' tombs to cast mounts and weapons in the tomb chamber, but there has never been a tomb like this tomb with three stone statues of mounts.
After their students finished recording, the group continued walking forward, and within a short time, they came to a larger tomb.
In the center of the tomb, there are three sarcophagi made of black stone.
Looking at the three sarcophagi in the shape of the word "品", Professor Hu's frown finally relaxed, and he murmured: "As expected!"
"Teacher, what is so true?" Li Shiyan was a little dazed.
"This tomb buries not one person, but three people. The patterns we saw just now should be the life trajectories of three people!" Professor Hu looked at the three sarcophagi placed in the middle and said slowly.
.
"Could they be three brothers?" Li Shiyan also thought of this and asked.
"It's possible, it's possible that the other two are the most loyal subordinates of this general!" Professor Hu sighed.
"Professor Hu, this tomb only has one entrance to the passage we came from!" At this time, Ye Xiu had already looked around and came to Professor Hu's side.
"Huh?" Professor Hu was stunned. If there was only one entrance, wouldn't Professor Wang and the others be unable to get here? Where does the passage on the right lead to?
"Chu Laoer, you and Zimu go and inform them and ask them to come over quickly!" Ye Xiu had already said to Chu Tianhe and Long Zimu.
Since there is no way to lead to the main tomb from another passage, it is a dead end. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, it is better to call people over as soon as possible.
"But here..." Long Zimu was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, this tomb is so big. As long as I'm watching, nothing will happen. But you two, please be careful!" Ye Xiu knew what Long Zimu was worried about and interrupted directly.
"Okay!" Long Zimu also knew that Ye Xiu was powerful, so he said no more and walked towards the direction he came from with Chu Tianhe.
"Professor, let's wait for the opening of the coffin!" Ye Xiu looked at the three sarcophagi and said to Professor Hu.
The main purpose of their coming in this time is to find a medicine or formula that can change genes. Although it seems that this stone tomb is different from the surrounding ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, no one can guarantee that it will not be so precious.
Things, and such precious things are usually buried with the owner of the stone tomb!
"Okay!" Professor Hu nodded. There were only five of them now, and the manpower was obviously insufficient. Moreover, he also hoped that his two friends could witness such a big event as opening the coffin.
There was no need to rush to open the coffin. Everyone began to look at the surroundings. Everything was quiet. A few minutes later, slight footsteps came from the entrance.
Wu Fei, who was closest to the entrance, was studying a stone tool. When he heard the footsteps, he quickly shot the flashlight in his hand toward the entrance. Just as a figure walked in, when he saw the figure's face clearly, Wu Fei's whole body
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, and even exclaimed: "Zhang Qiang?"
Ye Xiu, Professor Hu, Li Shiyan, and Wang Zhong looked over one after another. The figure was indeed the missing Zhang Qiang, but there were two streaks of blood flowing out of his eyes. It was so eye-catching under the light of the searchlight...
