Chapter 258 The living corpse warehouse in Fuxian Lake

After hearing Ye Zhen's words, everyone also had different ideas.

"Did the ancient Dian Kingdom disappear because it sank into Fuxian Lake?"

"Is it because of the earthquake?"

"I think it was the rise of the lake water that directly submerged the ancient Dian Kingdom."

"Or is there some mysterious power that caused the ancient Dian Kingdom to sink?"

"What exactly did CCTV discover that year?"

Obviously this is all shrouded in mystery.

Professor Yan Xin watched Ye Zhen's program and asked, "Is this Fuxian Lake plunged into the water by an immortal with powerful psychic powers?"

He thought as he drank his beer.

According to Professor Yan Xin's knowledge, this immortal has the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas.

Letting a city sink into the bottom of a lake is simply not easy.

Old Wu, who was tired of winning, said directly: "I once heard the local people say it."

"There is a Dragon Palace at the bottom of this lake. There are many treasures buried in the Dragon Palace."

"But some locals said it was a demon tower, a pyramid-shaped demon tower."

Professor Zhou looked sideways and said, "Didn't you know nothing just now?"

Old Wu rolled his eyes at him, "I'm a professional in archaeology anyway. I still know some things."

Seeing this, Ning Xiu in the 749th round felt something strange.

"Something must have happened during the CCTV archaeological live broadcast back then."

"It's most likely an abnormal event." Ning Xiu's intuition as a member of Bureau 749 told her.

This Fuxian Lake is definitely not that simple.

Song Xuan asked: "Captain Ning, do you know anything?"

Ning Xiu shook her head, "But this is most likely an abnormal event, otherwise such a thing would not have happened."

Back to the show, Ye Zhen had seen the record of Fuxian Lake in the 749 Bureau Bai Ze database.

An unusual event did occur that year.

But it wasn’t just the CCTV live broadcast of archeology.

This is how it happened.

At that time, a pregnant woman took a boat to go sightseeing in the center of Fuxian Lake.

To this day, this is a local tourist hotspot.

Unfortunately, the pregnant woman accidentally fell into Fuxian Lake.

He was not rescued at that time.

Finally, the local diving and salvage team was notified, and after three days of salvage.

Only then did the body of the person who fell into the accident be fished out.

But after it was salvaged, everyone was deceived.

The body recovered was indeed that of a pregnant woman.

But it's not the same person who fell down three days ago, because his clothes and appearance are different.

After testing, it was discovered that the body fell seven years ago!

The person who disappeared seven years ago!
This incident spread a lot in the local area.

How did the body that fell seven years ago be preserved to this day?

Where did the other corpse go that was involved in the accident?
People from Bureau 749 did come to investigate, but in the end nothing happened.

Ye Zhen suddenly looked gloomy and said mysteriously.

"Do you want to know why CCTV cut off the live broadcast?
Why was a subsequent archaeological excavation not published?

Do you want to know? "Ye Zhen asked everyone in a very serious tone.

Obviously everyone wants to know.

What happened to CCTV back then, and it actually cut off the live broadcast.

Some of the confidentiality personnel back then were immediately anxious.

"What is he doing? How dare he!"

"Didn't he sign a confidentiality agreement?"

"Hmph, I don't believe he knows, it's just a lie."

The audience really wants to know why CCTV cut off the live broadcast of archaeology.

In the end, I couldn’t even find the 50-minute live video.

I only saw a very scary and disgusting picture appearing behind Ye Zhen.

It can be seen that the background of the picture is in the water, and there is a diver wearing black outside the camera.

But that's not the point.

The point is that there is a white human corpse in front of the camera.

There were some dense marks on the corpse, which made people feel physically uncomfortable after looking at it.

"Fuck, what is this!"

"It looks so disgusting! Is this a corpse?"

"Is there something like this under Fuxian Lake?"

"Did CCTV discover this thing back then?"

Yes, CCTV discovered a body under Fuxian Lake.

Not a corpse, to be precise, but a cadaver bank.

Ye Zhen said: "They found these weird corpses at the bottom of the lake.

There are more than 2000 objects in total, both male and female.

This Fuxian Lake is not a lake, it is simply a corpse warehouse. "

Everyone was horrified when they heard this.

There are actually more than 2000 corpses under Fuxian Lake.

"And among these corpses, the women leaned back and the men threw themselves forward.

Driven by the current, it swayed back and forth, as if it was still alive.

So this is also called the Fuxian Lake Living Corpse.

And many of the corpses were wrapped in something similar to wax.

After so many years, it is still well preserved. "

After hearing Ye Zhen's words, the ancient Dian country became more and more weird.

The ancient city sunk into the water, and there were a large number of corpses in the ancient city.

What exactly is going on?

However, Ye Zhen did not continue, and went back to the cultural relics excavated here in the ancient Dian Kingdom.

“The three tomb groups of the ancient Dian Kingdom were finally confirmed.

The tombs on Shizhai Mountain belong to the royal family of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and a seal of the Dian King, made of gold, was unearthed inside.

The tomb bronzes on Lijia Mountain are also very exquisite. They were the aristocrats of the Dian Kingdom.

The tomb area on Jinlian Mountain also belongs to the ancient Dian Kingdom, but it belongs to civilians.

Some of the funerary objects inside are mostly pottery used in daily life, as well as some bronze farming utensils.

However, archaeologists discovered a strange phenomenon in the civilian burial area.

It is here that the corpses buried appear in a very strange and messy manner.

At first, everyone speculated why the bones were so messy.

Some people speculate that this is because they died in the war, so they are placed in such a messy manner.Others say this is because of diseases, earthquakes and other reasons.

But in the end, it was discovered that this was related to a local funeral custom.

This custom is the second burial.

After the deceased is buried, 3 to 5 years pass.

The deceased’s tomb needs to be dug up again and the bones packed up for burial again.

This kind of secondary burial custom is still popular in many places in the south. "

Having said this, some people agreed.

"That's what it's like where I'm at."

"Second burial is the same in my hometown."

"This is called ossuary burial in our area."

Why is there such a custom of secondary burial?

And most of the places where such customs are said to have existed were the areas that belonged to Baiyue at that time.

Because Baiyue was a miasma swamp back then, and there were many mosquitoes, rats, and ants.

The climate is also very hot and humid.

"Why did the ancients in Baiyue do this?
There is a reason here, because of the climate problem in Baiyue.

After the ancestors' bones are buried, they are easily corroded by the ground and some insects.

Therefore, in order to prevent the remains of the ancestors from being eaten by insects.

This is the custom of this second burial.

After the body has decayed for 3 to 5 years, the tomb is opened.

Pick out the bones inside and clean them.

The bones were reburied in a new urn.

It has different names in different regions.

Removing bones for burial, "washing bones for burial, collecting bones for burial, collecting bones for burial, collecting gold, collecting bones, etc."

The purpose is to better preserve the remains of our ancestors. "

Only after hearing this did everyone realize that it actually meant something like this?
But now the environment and some of the coffins are different.

Things like this will never happen again.

Therefore, many places no longer carry out the custom of this second burial.

However, there are still many places that were Baiyue in those days and still carry out the custom of this second burial.

"So what can be confirmed is that the ancient Dian Kingdom was also part of Baiyue." Ye Zhen said this.

But is this really the case?
Someone here thought of Zhao Wei's tomb.

Could it be that the same is true for Zhao Mei’s tomb?
The audience also thought of the tomb of Zhao Wei, King of South Vietnam.

"Has Zhao Wei been buried a second time?"

"No, Zhao Wei is from the Central Plains, not from Baiyue at all. He will not abide by this custom."

"Have you ever heard of doing as the Romans do when you're in town?"

"But if Zhao Wei is buried a second time, how will the stone in his tomb be opened?"

"I don't think Zhao Mei was buried a second time, because Zhao Mei's body was not found in the jade stones found. It was obviously corroded."

Immediately after Ye Zhen, another photo of a bronze vessel appeared.

“This is the Shizhaishan Bronze Drum excavated in Shizhaishan.

What is the pattern above?

There was still a group of feathered men rowing a dragon boat, and the feathered men were holding the heads of prisoners of war.

This is the same scene as the bronze shell container. "

Yuren again?

Feathered people were also unearthed here.

"And far beyond the ancient Dian Kingdom, similar bronze drums have also been unearthed here in western Guangxi." Another photo appeared behind Ye Zhen.

Bronze drums of the same style, with classic dragon boats and feathered figures on them.

"Guess where else is there, you guys?" Ye Zhen smiled.

Then many pictures appeared.

The pictures are all similar bronze drums, and they are of the same style at a glance.

And the decorations on them are all the same.

"Similar things have been unearthed in Ganxi Province.

The same is true for the entire Lingnan region.

As long as they are in Baiyue, bronze drums decorated with dragon boats and feathered figures have been excavated.

And it passes through the west of Guangxi and goes south.

Shizhaishan bronze drums are also popular in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries.

The furthest places are as far as present-day Sumatra.

And on a small island in the center of Sumatra.

A building that was exactly the same as the bronze shell storage vessel of the ancient Dian Kingdom was discovered.

And the local Sumatran custom is also to bury twice.

They also have the habit of offering sacrifices to beheaded prisoners of war.

Therefore, Baiyue in those days extended all the way to Indonesia and other places.

It can be said that it has been around since ancient times. "

The audience was dumbfounded. Are there so many places in the south that are all Baiyue?

How old was Baiyue back then?

Or could it be said that this was all the land of Yelang Kingdom back then?
Or is this all the land of the ancient Dian Kingdom?

Otherwise, why would there be such identical bronze vessels and customs?

It's simply a replica.

Everyone thought of an answer: Where did the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom go?

It's not that he disappeared, but he fled southward to Sumatra.

Everyone only knows that Vietnam was also a part of our country back then.

Why is it called Vietnam? Because this is the south of South Vietnam, so it is called Vietnam.

The bronzes found there in Vietnam are locally known as the Dongshan Culture.

The bronzes excavated inside are all in the same vein as the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The bronze drum also has dragon boat and feathered figures decorations on it, which are obviously of the same origin.

Why does the whole place in Baiyue believe in this feather man?

Even Zhao Tuo, who unified South Vietnam, was like this.

Could it be said that this Yu man was the ruler of Baiyue back then?
A ruler from ancient times ruled Baiyue.

That's why there were these later decorations on bronze vessels.

The dragon boat and feathered figures have never appeared on the bronzes of the Central Plains civilization.

The same is true for the bronzes from the Sanxingdui site.

So now there are three very prosperous bronze civilizations in our country.

Sanxingdui ruins, Yin Shang bronzes from the Central Plains, and Yuren bronzes from Baiyue.
