The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer - Chapter 2109
Do you have to fight the war yourself?
Depending on the situation, some have to do it yourself, and more are more suitable for proxy warfare.
It’s cheap, convenient, and it’s not your own who died. It’s the most suitable for a situation like Zaire.
Train personnel, provide assistance, and send out people known as “military observers.”
It will not be done in vain, it is all benefits, and the return is greater. There are quite a few people sent by the group in Zaire, and one of them discovered the two small primitive tribes, and when they reported regularly, they brought it along as an interesting little thing.
If anthropologists knew about this, they would be more interested, as well as transnational media, such as the media group owned by Zhang Nan.
However, Zhang Nan did not let those reporters who are good at hunting for novels rush to shoot any documentaries, and he will not go, not only because he hates tropical rain forests, but also because: frequent contact with the outside world may be a disaster for those primitive tribes. !
When primitive society comes into contact with modern civilization, those common germs in modern society can easily kill them!
Green **** can produce death, but it also blocks the spread of disease.
Primitive people have never been exposed to external viruses, and they have no resistance to them. Perhaps a cold virus with the lowest morbidity rate can kill the entire tribe in a very short time!
The mass extinction of the Indians in Central and South America at that time depended not only on the bullets and butcher knives of the Spaniards, but also on the germs brought by the Europeans.
This is similar to the theory that a person’s natural alcohol intake is similar. If your ancestors were all wine gods for eighteen generations, congratulations, your natural gene has a high tolerance to alcohol of 99%, and the amount of alcohol is basically irresistible.
If your ancestors poured a cup, then you want to pass the alcohol test and develop the ability to not pour a bottle of Erguotou…
Difficult!
The ancestors of modern people have been attacked by germs and viruses for generations, and they all carry things similar to antibodies in their genes. Those primitive people do not have it.
Some viruses are carried by modern people, and they will not even show any signs, and once the primitive people are caught, it may be directly fatal.
For the benefit of a gold mine, Zhang Nan doesn’t mind destroying a few small towns and tribes in Zaire, but there is nothing of great interest, so he doesn’t want to go to the primitive tribes.
I am not a good person, but I will not be a bad person for no reason.
The area of the archaeological site was many times larger than the last time he left. The family who first discovered “Jin Kaiyuan” was a “bigger house than the village head’s house”, and they had only lived in it for less than a month and moved again.
As the on-site detection was not in-depth, the entire village was relocated to the south two kilometers away, and it became a new countryside with characteristics of the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
All the original land was requisitioned. The newly established mining company here helped the villagers use mechanized equipment to reclaim a large piece of land near the new settlement, and also built a diversion canal. The living conditions are better than the original land.
In this ghost place, the most important thing is land.
The people in the village are happy, the housing conditions have improved several grades, and both men and women can work at the archaeological site in the past few months as long as they have labor.
Archaeology is not the digging of graves by Zhang Nan, nor the destruction of tombs by construction on the construction site. The two things are that the faster the better.
For formal archaeology, just to go to the layers one has to take it slowly and manually.
It is a waste for the army to use it to open earth. The local labor is cheap. Even if these people are not efficient, it is really cheap.
About 300 meters to the west of the stone carvings is the archaeological site where labor is still in progress. Zhang Nan noticed just now that he will go there.
There are almost 200 local black people who are carefully cleaning the surface and transporting soil by manpower. There are armed guards around, and there are professionals and translators in each clearing area to supervise the work.
“This is the settlement site at that time, about 1,280 meters above sea level, surrounded by simple city walls reinforced with adobe and logs, basically a square, with an area of about 150,000 square meters.”
Nong Bosheng introduced.
The scale of a large modern village, placed in Central Africa 1200 years ago, would be an out-and-out city.
“This should have been built 20 to 30 years after Yang Ming and others arrived, otherwise they would not have so many people, and the carbon-14 dating also gave a similar answer.
Part of the bottom of the city wall is left. The structure of the houses in the city should be adapted to local conditions at that time. There are very few brick houses left, and they should basically be wooden houses. There is no shortage of good wood in this place.
A lot of remains of wells and canals have been found, as well as a small number of stone carvings with Chinese characters, and a large number of daily pottery remnants have been found with a strong Chinese and Tang Dynasty style…”
A lot of precipitation has wiped out a lot of time in a thousand years, and the ground part of the city wall has almost disappeared, but a lot of it remains.
This large area will be protected. In the future, heritage parks, museums, and educational bases will be built. The group will not be short of money.
Don’t make money from this, you need the impact that this can have.
Why did Yang Ming and others build a city here?
Not on the eastern coast, nor is it called Biboyang in the stone carvings, and now settled on the edge of Lake Victoria?
There are so many great lakes in the Great Lakes Region. If they settled by the lake, according to the fishing and hunting ability of the navigators in the Tang Dynasty, the pressure of survival would be much lower.
Of course, the exception is Lake Albert, which is more than 20 kilometers away. The altitude is too low, the environment is hot and humid, and there are many poisonous insects and crocodiles.
But chose this.
If you think about it carefully, it is normal: from the perspective of a radius of 100 to 200 kilometers nearby, it is neither too hot nor too cold for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The land and water resources are already very rich, and there are many wild animals suitable for hunting and domestication. It can’t be compared with Bibo Seaside, this living condition can be considered very good!
In fact, the archaeological team has found the most important reason: there is an open-pit salt mining area less than two kilometers away, and the salt can be eaten only after a simple filter ~www.mtlnovel.com~ has almost no toxicity.
I don’t know if Tang Ren has mastered Zhang Nan’s detoxification technology in salt mines, but he will definitely be able to filter them. No one likes the sand in the smoke.
There is salt, fertile land, water, and a huge amount of wildlife.
There are no lions, and there are only leopards that will not take the initiative to attack adults in the vicinity of the beasts. It is not too far to go to Lake Albert for fishing and hunting occasionally. At least there are elephants for transportation – at the ruins Among the found stone carvings, figures of people riding elephants were found.
What should I do if the fish is not well preserved?
There were salt mines, people in this city would not be short of salt at that time, and the salted fish was very good.
Huaxia people have always been able to adapt to a hard and simple life, such a large and good place, and the most important salt, the conditions can be compared with the coast, and there is no perennial hot and humid that is the most annoying at that time, so the choice is right.
The Tang people hated the heat and humidity all year round. Back then, Lingnan was regarded as a place of exile for poisonous miasmas. If it wasn’t for no choice, they wouldn’t settle for a long time on the coast of Africa near the equator.
Thinking about it like this, you can understand the choice of Yang Ming and others.
The construction site was very lively, and Zhang Nan quickly found something interesting.
It’s not that some newly unearthed cultural relics have been discovered, but a group of little blacks who are similar to Lilliputian characters are working.
“Pygmies?” said casually.
“It should be that the nearby jungle to the west is one of their traditional settlements, and Rwanda has 1% of Pygmies.
But Alan, it’s impolite to call a Pygmy. “Adjani said with a smile.
Pygmies, indigenous peoples in Africa, this will look really interesting.
Unlike dwarfs, these people are actually well-proportioned, like a downsized normal human being.
