The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

17oo years ago, the ruins of this building are still relatively well-preserved. ┡Ω Novel 『Ω Although the roof of some houses is no longer visible, the walls and wooden pillars are still there.

The one near the parking place for the two is good, and the wall is high enough to block the wind and sand-they also put up a small piece of tarp on their heads to shade.

Don't wash your face, save water, just sit there to enjoy the cold.

The temperature is already 35 or 6 degrees, it would not be good if you bake it in the sun.

"Wait next month, if one is accidentally here, it will reach more than 40 degrees, and then there will be no way to stay."

Relying on the rest, just chat when you think of it, or take out a water bottle and have a drink. As soon as the sun above your head goes above your head, immediately change direction and set up a shed.

There is no sweat at all, it is too dry, and the sweat will be evaporated as soon as it comes out.

Guan Xingquan had enough rest and couldn't take any time off. He wandered around in the ruins of several nearby houses, and when he came back, he was holding something in his hand.

"what?"

"wheat."

He handed it to Zhang Nan.

The extremely dry wheat grains still have a little golden luster!

"There was a jar in the sand of the house over there, and it was full of wheat."

Upon hearing Guan Xingquan's words, Zhang Nan got up, and the two went to check together.

The soil embryo house, the roof is gone, and the sand in it is more than half a meter thick. A complete clay pot was exposed in the sand pile in the corner, with its mouth open.

"There is a wooden lid on the top of the book, I'll take it." He pointed to a log on the top of the sand.

"This may be a warehouse. Brother Guan, bring the detector."

"Oh."

After a while, the two of them checked several nearby houses, and there was only one place where there was metal reaction.

After digging with an engineer shovel, a small copper arrow appeared soon.

This is a three-sided arrow with a rough manufacturing process. It was cut out by Guan Xingquan from a corner of the earth wall—it seemed to be embedded there thousands of years ago.

"when?"

"It's hard to say, it may be something from the third and fourth centuries AD."

It is not surprising that there are still people using copper arrows in southern Xinjiang, although iron tools have already appeared. "

Throw the arrow in his pocket, planning to leave.

"There are wheat and arrows here, do you think it is because of the war that the talents here flee." The two said as they walked.

Zhang Nan scratched his scalp, a little itchy.

"It's hard to say that after the initial inspection, some people thought it was a natural disaster, and some people said it was a war. However, many of the disappearance of such small oasis countries are actually caused by the aborigines themselves."

The two returned to the shade, where you could see the fairly well-preserved houses and livestock houses in the quicksand of the ruins of Niya in the distance.

"Some people say that the decline of Jingjueguo is directly related to the changes of the Niya River, and that the Taklimakan Desert has not turned it into a desert Gobi.

The source of the Niya River is in Kunlun Mountain. There are 60 glaciers in the upper reaches of the Niya River. Meltwater from the glaciers is the main source of Niya River.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Niya River was quite abundant and its flow was relatively long. Its tail could reach the Niya ruins here. That would be an oasis in very good conditions.

However, due to climate change, the Niya River has experienced retreat in the past two thousand years, and its flow has been continuously shortened, and it has continued to shrink from the lower reaches to the middle reaches. The current end of the Niya River is at least 7o kilometers shorter than the Niya River two thousand years ago.

Due to the retreat of the river, the place where the country was originally refined has lost its water source, and the residents cannot cultivate and live, and finally have to leave here to migrate. "

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan felt that something was wrong, "If it is a planned migration, it is impossible to avoid these very good wheat."

"Hehe, who knows."

Nowadays, everything must be moved when the farmhouse moves. It is impossible for all the Jingjue people 17oo years ago to be local tyrants: they are all forced to move by the desert, and it is good if they are not poor ghosts.

"Unlike the Loulan people in the northeast, the people there destroyed their own living environment. The Jingjue people should pay more attention to protecting the environment in the later period of the country. There are many sun tombs in Loulan. Circles of wood enclose the pattern of the sun, and a tomb will consume a lot of precious trees. No matter how big an oasis is, it cannot withstand such a toss.

Moreover, the Little Ice Age that began in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is also estimated to have affected this area. The climate in the Central Plains is impermanent, not to mention the exquisite country close to the great desert. "

Speaking of Zhang Nan, he pointed to the trunks of the nearby trees that were still erected after a thousand years of death, and said: "You see that most of these mansions are planted with big trees. Just now we passed a dead forest, which was obviously planted artificially. It doesn't tell what kind of tree it is, but it may be fruit or mulberry.

There are still wheat in the storage room, and it seems that the owner walked too eagerly and did not bring these important living supplies at all. Maybe the owner's family died in the invasion, very similar.

This situation cannot be combined with the abandonment of the ruins caused by lack of water, and the gradual evacuation in an organized and prepared manner. "

"If you leave without water, the food will definitely be taken away!"

After listening to Guan Xingquan's words, Zhang Nan said, "This is the truth.

Didn't that Stein stole a lot of Lu Wenmu's documents, and now it has been interpreted: The late Jingjue Kingdom was under severe threat from the desert and the ecological environment was dangerous.

Jingjue rulers have specific and strict regulations on the use of water in the oasis and the management of trees. The decree prohibits the felling of live trees, and it is not allowed to cut down the roots of the trees. The use of water is also paid, and a dedicated person is responsible. "

Speaking of Zhang Nan, he also explained to Guan Xingquan what is the Gulu text: The Gulu text originated in ancient Gandhara, and it was written during the Ashoka period of the Maurya Dynasty of India in the 3rd century BC. The full name is "Queludi". It was first used in northwestern India and present-day Pakistan, and it was widely spread in Central Asia during the 1st and 2nd century AD.

With the demise of the Guishuang Dynasty in the middle of the 4th century, Luwen disappeared. By the end of the 18th century, Luwen had already become an unrecognizable dead character. It was not until 1837 that it was recognized by the British scholar Purin. Shep discovered the mystery of Lu Wen.

"We can understand from the translation and reading of the Lu Wen that the fine ruler of the year was still in a state of panic. The reason was the attack by the supis from the southeast. The supis may have been in the Soviet Union at the time in northern Tibet. Piren.

There is a record in the wooden slip: ‘There is a danger from the supis people, you must not neglect, other border guards should be dispatched here quickly’,

‘I heard here that the supis suddenly attacked Qimo in April’, ‘existing people brought important news about the attack of the supis’, etc., which are all related to the war.

Didn’t it say that Jing Jueguo had only 50 soldiers in the “Western Regions”~www.readwn.com~ The national strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty was weakened in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Han army gradually withdrew from the Western Regions, a small country like Jing Jueguo lost the asylum of the Central Plains Dynasty. , The demise is only a matter of time.

Before the Jingjue Kingdom Oasis was abandoned, the invasion of the supis should have been a cloud over them.

Coupled with the influence of the Little Ice Age, the abandonment of the Jingjue Kingdom may be a combination of natural problems and war.

And on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, a group of ancient oasis also suffered destruction at the same time as the Jingjue Oasis was abandoned.

Karadun in the Keriya River Basin, and the ancient city of Andil in the lower reaches of the Andir River, the abandonment of these ancient cities all showed similar characteristics to the demise of Jingjue Kingdom. Perhaps these ancient cities also faced the threat of the Suis people back then, and they may have all received a fatal blow during the invasion of the Suis people. "

Seeing Guan Xingquan listening carefully, "Don't think about it, the disappearance of Jing Jueguo is similar to the Goldbach conjecture, maybe the final conclusion will never be made!"

After finishing speaking, it looks like the sun will go down, "Okay, it's time to work." (To be continued.)
