Chapter 1,214 The King of the Four Directions (Part 2)
When Gudiya heard these short sentences, he was stunned, especially the last sentence, and then expressions of surprise and shock appeared repeatedly on his face!
The red sheep is a joint code, which is the word agreed upon by Naboo and the previous king of Lagash, "King Urbaba".
Nabu, the God of Wisdom, when he left Lagash for the Mountains of the Eastern Sun, he once said that he would continue walking there, and if he could find a new place to live, he would stay.
The Dark Ages caused the gods to be scattered, and the loss of faith caused the gods to fall into ignorance.
In order to find a solution to the dark age, Nabu has been walking eastward, thinking that he might be able to see the countries further away, because in the past it was said that there were giants further east who had arrived in this land from beyond the Sun Mountains.
border.
In an era without the protection of gods, everything had to rely on oneself. Fortunately, the "symbolic power" given by the gods in the past could still be used. So in this case, the priests found new methods, external
If the divine power dies, then become your own god, and a "great one" who is more powerful than the "servants of gods" in the past will be born!
When the country's fire burns again, everything in the past is reborn on the ruins!
Gudiya jumped down from the chariot, walked quickly towards Yuzai, and ordered the guards around him to step back. As a great man, he would not be afraid of any enemy, but the stranger in front of him gave him an incomprehensible feeling.
.
"You don't speak our language?"
Gudiya tried to communicate with Yuzai. Yuzai was silent for a while and suddenly handed him the map she was drawing.
Gudiya brings it over.
The moment he saw the map for the first time, he was stunned and breathless.
Although the drawing is very strange... after all, local mappers all draw on clay tablets and are often proud of their carving skills. However, the topographic map drawn on this strange film is not as carved as in the carving.
The shadows of mountains can also accurately express where are the highlands and where are the valleys!
Those circles of waves spread downward from the top of the mountain, and there was a mark around each wave. Although he couldn't understand the words, he was sure that these were numbers used to mark heights!
Mountains, rivers, valleys, hills, plains...
This map is a drawing of all the villages and small town strongholds near Lagash!
Gudea's finger moved to a grid point on the map. This was obviously the mark of the city-state, and the mark of Lagash City was larger than the others!
This map must not fall into the hands of the Akkadians, Kuti people, or other city-state leaders!
With this map, others have a complete grasp of the terrain and topography of Lagash!
By that time, Lagash was like a little girl who had taken off her woolen skirt, all her weaknesses were exposed in the eyes of the other party!
The word "kill" popped into his mind, but he immediately put the thought out, because if his guess was correct, the origin of the person in front of him was from the so-called "Land of the Han" on the other side of the majestic Sun Mountains.
The strong ones are coming!
Anyone who can cross thousands of mountains and rivers to get here is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
"Can you give me this map? I'll pay for it. No matter what treasure you want, I'll give it to you!"
Gudiya tried to continue to communicate with Yuzai. As the king of Lagash, he was dancing with joy at this time, trying to express his desires and requests. He took the map, pointed at himself, and took it out from somewhere on his body.
A little silver pointed at Huanzai.
In this land, the most high-end currency is silver.
In the ancient Sumer area, there were a wide variety of items used as currency, the high-end ones were gold and silver, the medium-end ones were tin, and the low-end ones included copper, bronze, lead, barley, wool, smoked fish, fish oil and dates.
Especially barley, as a low-end currency, is a particularly hard transaction currency. Even in the post-Babylonian period, silver could be loaned to merchants, and barley was actually used for small loans.
Yuzai made a pressing gesture to signal the King of Lagash not to be too excited.
Afterwards, he took out some maps from the large leather backpack and spread them out on the ground.
Maps appeared in Gudea's eyes one after another.
At this moment, Gudea almost forgot to breathe.
Mountains are connected to rivers, rivers are connected to plains, plains are connected to mountains, and mountains are connected to plateaus...
Gudiya saw his own land, and there was actually a backup of the drawings that he had been eager to get.
But these drawings are no longer independent, they can be spliced together with other drawings!
From Lagash, to Larak, to Der, to Akkad, to the mountains where the Kuti appeared;
From Elland to Wander Mountain;
Then, there is the land that I don’t know.
From the northern sea to a marked location with the text "Great Xia"... Gudea didn't know how to say these two words, or even the pronunciation, but it was not over yet.
On the lower right side of the Daxia sign, there is a mountain range marked "Lingjiu Mountain".
On the right side of the Bactria mark, Gudea knew that that was where the Sun Mountains were located. The majestic mountains were said to be the far east and the birthplace of the mythical sun god Utu.
But the sign here is "Congling".
There are more signs after Congling, including Yuyuan, Ruomu, Shibuya, Beiquan, and then there are more and more written signs, such as Changliu, Weoshui, Sanwei, Dunhuang, Xuanyuanqiu, Lianshi,
Gaochang, Queen Mother of the West...
Then, Gudiya followed the road on the map, walked through the Hexi Corridor, passed through countless stronghold markers, and finally arrived at a huge city marked in red, marked Taotang.
Countless city signs are scattered on these maps like stars in the sky. Countless roads connect these city-states. There are dozens of cities marked in red, which are obviously more prosperous and powerful cities.
Starting from the scope of Daxia, there is another huge dotted line that encompasses this land and all the signs of Daxia. The scope of this dotted line is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of city-states like Lagash!
In the north we reach a long and narrow lake, in the east we reach several sea areas, in the south we reach an island, and at the end of the west is Daxia.
This can be seen, this is a map of spheres of influence!
And in this dotted line, there is a huge Chinese character written!
Gudiya's mouth was dry and his hands and feet were trembling slightly. He saw Yu Zai pointing at himself and then at the map, making a ruling gesture and raising three fingers.
At this point, I understand.
Gudeya had indeed confirmed the identity of the other party, but at this time, it made him feel even more unreal and illusive.
After crossing such a long distance, two civilized people who had never met met for the first time on this land.
Nabu, the god of wisdom, really walked through the majestic Mountains of the Sun.
He left the known world and went to the unknown world, opening up a new path, and what he stood in front of was the unknown world in the east, crossing a thousand mountains and hundreds of rivers to arrive here.
The King of the East!
There are three kings of the East. The land in the East is even vaster than here. All of this can only be seen by crossing the majestic Sun Mountains!
Gudea discovered that the area occupied by all Mesopotamia was only such a narrow part, even including Akkad and Kuti in the north, Elam in the east, and Egypt in the northwest.
Bra, Dilmun in the southwest, and the Magan and Meluha people... Even if these large forces are added together, they are far less large than the scope marked by the other party.
..Far worse!
So Gudea wanted to laugh out loud for some reason.
He thought that in the past, Sargon, the first king of Akkad, destroyed the Uruk dynasty in the past, so he was complacent and called himself "Sharujin", which means the true king of destiny. Even the priests
Said that the royal power was transferred from Uruk to Akkad, so he proclaimed himself "King of the Four Parties of the World"!
