Chapter 92 The Measure of Everything

Arno learned in his One Thousand and One Nights that as an ordinary human being, it is actually difficult for us to see the scale of everything.I take it for granted.

[Chaos], whose true identity no one knows so far, is a piece of ore named in Greek mythology, which means "the god of order and chaos".Chaos represents order, chaos and space. He is the god who opposes the order advocated by Egypt. In Greek mythology, he is chaos, and in the version of Roman mythology, it is order.He is Chaos itself, out of which all things are born.Maybe it means the possibility that this ore can give birth to different things.

If this is the case, it is quite in line with the characteristics of Sumerian civilization.After all, when it comes to [Chaos] in the ancient city of Ur, one has to mention the Sumerian King List.

For an archaeologist, this clay tablet full of cuneiform characters discovered in many places in Mesopotamia is difficult to win people's trust as a reliable history.However, the records of the Sumerian rulers were too bizarre and mysterious, or incomplete and untrue, which gave rise to many rich imaginations.

Because according to the records of the Sumerian King List, the kingship there came from the sky, just as suddenly as the civilization appeared in Mesopotamia.And their kings reigned for a long time, often hundreds or thousands of years.We often say that the king of a thousand years is a tortoise of 8 years, and I have never seen such a long-lived species.At least humans definitely can't do it.Therefore, some people believe that the one who created the Sumerian civilization was an advanced life of more than one human being.This has also become an argument for extraterrestrial civilization. After all, it is reasonable for aliens to have wisdom beyond the technology at that time.However, the most widely circulated version is that the original rulers of mankind were actually gods from heaven.

Although there is no archaeological discovery to support the above conjecture, any groundless rumors will not last long.The reason why this theory of intelligent life that surpasses human beings can be fooled into the 21st century is not only because there are too many anti-intellectual people in the United States and other places who believe in the flat earth theory that vaccines are harmful, but also because the Sumerian king list is not all the Arabian Night Tan.

First it recorded a great flood.It is related to Dayu's flood control that we are familiar with in China, Noah's Ark in Christianity, and the melee of the Olympus gods in Greece.Furthermore, the half-human and half-god king in the [Epic of Gilgamesh] cited by Hassan is also on the Sumerian king list, and some kings who have been excavated and verified are also on it.The length of their reign is much more normal than the first few dozen.

However, the academic world will naturally not rationalize the unreliable ones just because there are reliable ones.The most pertinent explanation so far is that the Sumerian king list was actually bragging, in order to show the majesty of its monarchs and make them comparable to gods.This is similar to ancient political propaganda.

But this cannot explain the advanced technological level of the Sumerians.Among the cultural relics that have been excavated, including the objects of the ancient city of Ur that I and Zhang Laozhang saw in the British Museum and the ancient city of Ur itself, they all exist far beyond the technological level of the Bronze Age.

I have a strong desire to explore the unknown.If it weren't for my curiosity, I really wouldn't have entered this business, and I wouldn't have followed Thutmose III to the middle of the sand sea because I wanted to know what Thutmose III was hiding.

But compared with fate, curiosity is nothing.But I can always meet some desperate people, and the one in front of me is one.

"Because no one has ever seen [Chaos], and the employer of the mercenary Chris only heard about it, so we were able to steal. Those Americans did not expect that someone has been looking for these ores since the last century." Arno gave a sly smile. "Am I bluffing at the auction?"

Obviously, Morgan or Boothwell, the buyer of [Eye of Eternity], was successfully deceived, and Arnold, who contributed his superb acting skills to this deception, was really lucky.

"Who owns the piece of ore in the ancient city of Ur, do you know?"

Arno nodded, then waggled his fingers left and right.I was wondering when I heard him say a familiar name.

"Dr. White."

Why is it him again?I can't help frowning.This person once contributed to Hassan's transformation, designed for the Egyptian priests to use me to trick Li Yuan and others into the Temple of Omniscience for bloodletting, and even his handwriting appeared in Old Black's notes.But who is this person?

"Yu, do you know alchemy?" Yano asked me. "Because all metals come from the interior of the earth, and the temperature there is very high, when people look at them, they often see different forms of different metals. In the past, people didn't know why this was so, and they regarded it as for the will of God."

This is similar to how the ancient Egyptians imagined metal as the bones of the desert god Seth.Also in the Andes of Peru, the ancient Incas referred to gold as the "sweat drop of the sun", which is the ancient people's understanding of metal.

"As for alchemists, of course, these people are now called chemists, and their duty is to take over the unfinished work of the creator and help metals complete their evolution."

Does the prosthetic hand god work?It's also very thoughtful.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked Jarno.

"Because I don't know where this road will lead." Arno's blue eyes stared at the last bright color in the sky that was about to sink into the sea of ​​sand. "When I got [Boiling Snow], I just wanted to know why some people think it is more important than my family. Yu, don't look at me like that. My dad is very good to me. I didn't realize it until he picked me up in Damascus Even if we are not related by blood, we are already family.”

I wait for him to continue.

"You also know that I got the [Eye of Eternity] by chance. However, there are too many things involved in both [Boiling Snow] and [Eternal Eye]. During my investigation, Dr. White found Me. I don't know who he is, but he undoubtedly knows a lot about this kind of ore. And some unbelievable things in it made me understand why that person would rather sink in the Arctic Ocean with the research institute."

"Because those rumors are true."

The rumors surrounding these ores are more and more fantasies, but there is always evidence to rely on. [Carlos] can make certain substances in the environment reproduce infinitely, and [Eye of Eternity] can make mineral veins endless. [Boiling Snow] means that once it burns, it will never go out.All the ores we know so far, including the [Acasta] found by A Tian, ​​which is called "a life as old as the earth" and the one that is now in the hands of 279, was once recorded by the Yin family. The ores from the mountains all point to one word: infinite energy.The Mayan ore, if time is also regarded as a resource, then it is the same.

The remaining few stones should be similar.If any piece can dictate the course of civilization, who owns them.Especially when the base of civilization already has such a size, it is simply the industrial revolution of the new era.Not to mention ruling the earth, it is possible to unify the universe and integrate galaxies.

The only certainty about those ores now is that no matter who owns them, they must be here now.Because no matter who holds them, they will not stop coming, let alone let others get the treasure they want first.

"Yu, I can't do this alone. To get here, I almost ran out of chips. Now I have the last hole card." Yanuo looked at me and asked again: "Would you like to help?" Will you keep my heart made of lead?"

　This period of time is relatively lazy (recharging now, the update is a bit slower. There will be no pitfalls, and there will definitely be no pitfalls. The development of the following stories is almost written. Try to fight as soon as possible.
