Nabu came to the board and saluted Concubine respectfully:
"I thought the person who made this wooden board should be an old wise man, but I didn't expect that he was such a young king."
"The King of the East, great and noble, please guide us who are confused."
Yuzai felt that the old god was very polite and asked, "Excuse me, are you from the land of Daxia?"
"Or from further west in Daxia?"
Nabul was slightly surprised: "Master Shen has just returned here. Do you already know that there is a country in the west of Daxia?"
"I know that there is a piece in the west, and there is another piece in the west of the west. I also know that the sky and the earth are a circle. Whether it is Hun Tian or Xuan Ye, the earth is always a sphere."
Whether it is the Huntian theory or the Xuanye theory, or the real world, no matter which one the mountain and sea world belongs to, the earth under your feet is spherical. This has been a definite answer through more than ten years of geographical observation and astronomical exploration.
"There are civilizations everywhere on the earth, just like agricultural production and animal husbandry, these are all methods devised for survival, and plows and wheels are just tools developed for a better life."
Neb was very surprised.
The sky and the earth are spherical. This principle did not exist in ancient Sumer at this time. Otherwise, the title "King of the Four Directions" would not have appeared. The earth is flat. This is the common belief of ancient people regardless of which civilization they are.
Shared cognition.
In some civilizations where religion is the dominant factor, for example, the ancient Egyptians believed that in the model of the universe, the earth is the body of the male god Sibu covered with plants, and the sky is the graceful goddess Luti. The earth is like a patio, surrounded by
It is a towering mountain, and the low-lying and flat place in the middle is where humans live. The sun, moon and stars hang above the patio, shining on the earth, and the earth is surrounded by water.
As for the attainments in astronomy and calendar, the level of several ancient great civilizations is actually not much different. As for the rumor that the ancient Sumerians knew all the planets in the solar system, I'm sorry, this is actually the result of the Babylonians, and the Babylonians were far away from the ancients.
The Sumerians are the shortest in time and have a difference of three hundred years. The actual difference in years is much greater than this number.
Moreover, the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can be seen with the naked eye. There is nothing to praise about this. The oracle bones unearthed during the Xia and Shang Dynasties have already proved that the land in the East also has records of the movement of the five stars.
Afterwards, after listening to Nabu's self-introduction, Yuzai confirmed that this alien god indeed came from the Sumer area and the Mesopotamia.
That piece of mudstone can already explain many problems. This is different from the habits in the East. People here are used to writing and divination on oracle bones or bamboo silk.
At this time, the Sumerian region fell into the Dark Ages, which was a counterexample to the Golden Age of the East. The ancient Sumerian state was destroyed by the Akkadians, and the names of the gods were tampered with by the Akkadians.
In the past few decades, the Akkadians were defeated by the Kutians who emerged from the mountains.
As for this group of Kuti people, they could only beat people but not rule. They quickly disappeared in the Mesopotamia in ancient history. However, they did not die, but moved eastward and became the Tocharians.
!
In China, they have a more familiar name. The Zhou Dynasty called them Yu Di. However, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, their name was even louder, but this loudness spread because they were beaten by the Huns and could not find the north!
They are the "Da Yueshi"!
Every migration of the Dayuezhi would lead to the decline or demise of one or more Central Asian dynasties. Then the Dayuezhi repeatedly moved eastward. In the end, they either encountered the Xiongnu or the Wusun, and then fought with these two groups of nomads.
The Legion fought hard
Of course, the Da Yuezhi eventually migrated repeatedly across the border between the east and west. After thousands of years, they finally succeeded in establishing a powerful empire of their own, which was the Kushan Empire.
"So, you want to watch all the content under this wooden sign to find the truth about saving the country and the people?"
Yu Zai smiled: "Each era has its own system that should be used in each era. Can you find the social system corresponding to your country in the wooden sign that has been opened now?"
Nabu looked at the wooden board. He pointed unswervingly at the hereditary system in it, and then pointed at a lower wooden sign guided by the dotted line next to the hereditary system, which said slavery, and then let out a gentle sigh.
The two river basins are suffering from an unprecedented disaster. Just a few decades ago, the Kuti people who emerged from the mountains were like the incarnation of the stone god. After crushing the Akkadians, they also wiped out the remaining people in the southern region.
The Fourth Dynasty of Uruk ended the reign of the last king of Sumer.
The gods were also trapped in the quagmire of the Dark Ages, and it was difficult to find a way to rescue them.
Nabu left that land and came to Bactria in the east, and then trekked through the Mountain of the Sun, and finally came to the vast land further east. At this time, he firmly believed that he could find the answer he wanted on this wooden board.
Slavery is a social institution, and patrimonialism is a political institution.
Nabu had never thought that he could find detailed descriptions of society and politics in the far east. Many of the things and problems in them were completely consistent with everything that happened in their land. After asking, Nabu learned that this
Slavery has always existed in this land, but it has never become mainstream.
Nabu believes that this reason may have originated from the "Jedi Tiantong" incident that occurred on this land two hundred years ago.
Therefore, after the arrival of the new era, slavery, which had always existed but was not prosperous, was abolished, and slave society became impossible to talk about, because in this land, it was not slaves who had always shouldered the burden of production, but normal people.
of people.
"If you leave all the work to slaves, then you cannot give them advanced production tools, otherwise they will pick up an iron hoe and smash the slave owner to death with a hoe."
"So, for the sake of progress, they gave up the use of a large number of slaves. Instead, in the process of sacrifice, slaves obtained from external battles were used to perform sacrifices. Because the trend of blood sacrifice was too strong, an emperor named Zhuanxu abolished this
atmosphere."
Nab summarized, and the simple conclusion he finally came to left him speechless for a long time.
That is, the existence of slaves will hinder the progress of society. In order to move forward to the next era, these people in the East voluntarily gave up the use of slaves!
Go forward, go forward! We will not stop until we achieve a harmonious society!
The abdication system came into being for this reason, not only to benefit one person but to alleviate the world's ills!
Therefore, some people dredge mountains and rivers to control floods, some people build dams to prevent natural disasters, and some people risk their lives chasing the sun and die.
I don’t believe that there are obstacles that cannot be overcome, and I don’t believe that there are disasters that cannot be overcome!
