The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

The location where the "Golden" of the Serbian royal family was unearthed more than 20 years ago is not far from here, and nearly two kilometers away on the other side, is another core history of the Rahat site besides the noble tombs. Remains: An artificially constructed high platform with a nearly rectangular shape with a small top and a large bottom.

The remaining earth platform is about 18 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a modern six-story building. The top area is nearly 3,200 square meters. It is surrounded by two trenches. The overall structure is complex and magnificent, plus it is located on a divided natural platform. , The terrain is still dangerous.

The society more than 2,000 years ago was as unstable as the modern one. The Serb ruling class in this area is obviously already at least semi-settled or even settled.

It is not a pyramid-shaped tomb. It is probably the foundation of the palace of a certain Cypriot royal tribe that ruled this large area from the 5th to the 4th century BC.

As time passed, Zhang Nan and the others looked around. The Serb palace of more than 2,000 years ago no longer existed, leaving only the lush grassland and all the pine forests.

Zhang Nan lacked interest in the palace ruins, and didn't go to see if there were any remnants of architectural construction in Tutaizi: even if there were once, they are long gone now.

There has been no shortage of people here for more than two thousand years. Every nation has come and gone. The rivers that descend from the snow-capped mountains mean that there is no shortage of water here. The fertile grasslands can feed cattle, sheep and herders. This is a typical autumn and winter pasture area. .

Pastures in autumn and winter mean that ancient nomads will build a large number of settlements, and palaces can be built here, which is the best place to build settlements. Those building constructions should have been used by many hands.

Zhang Nan was not interested in going to the Gaotai ruins in the distance to take a long view, and Charlize Theron, who was still interested in good qualities, would not go, so he said with emotion: "Brother, how come I feel so magical, such a remote place. There can be such a civilization.

Heaven, over 20 centuries, I really want to see how people lived back then. "

Remoteness means cheapness. The core area of ​​Central Asia is of course remote to the horizon in terms of geography, at least in the eyes of Charlize Theron, a Westerner.

Zhang Nan smiled at this and said, "You are infected with the environment here, the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and grasslands. If you don't pay attention, you will run the train.

But here is the charm of this study of history. The touch of imagination and time and space is very interesting. "

"Research?

hehe…"

Charlie's face was disdainful. The man in front of him was a super grave digger, the kind of master who could unite with the army and get the local government to dig graves together.

Zhang Nan didn't bother, "Research is not counted, let's explore the assembly.

Compared to the big mound, I am interested in the more than 80 large tombs in the core area of ​​the tombs that still have remnants of the soil. Maybe there are a few "golden men" below. "

Speaking, a group of experts from various countries who surveyed the terrain more than 20 meters away said: "They said that there are at least 80 large tombs here, and there are more than 100 tombs that are visible. As for the tombs that have not been found, God knows how much this area is.

Even if there is no "golden man" at the bottom, according to the habit of the Serb race to accompany the equipment into the soil, this large piece of land is definitely a real treasure house..."

Still a treasure house that is almost undefended!

The fences are pretty good. After running in, I discovered that the fences are only "fences" instead of "enclosures": there are sheep grazing on the east side because there is no fence at all.

Everything is unfinished, except for the almost lonely museum and a handful of residential buildings, this large area is an open pasture.

According to Big Beard's introduction, there has been no tomb robbery here in recent decades, but judging by the findings of the excavation in 1969, some tombs have been destroyed in ancient times, but not all tombs have been stolen.

Tomb robbery is most rampant in two places in the world: China and Egypt!

But thinking about it, you can understand why this is the case: history and population density, China and Egypt have many tombs under the ground, even in other parts of the world, but it seems that thick burial customs are not developed.

The cusp people play thick burials, but their tombs have not attracted the attention of the archaeological community for a long time. In ancient times, even if there was no shortage of nomads, they were still a model of sparsely populated areas.

The history of the Serbs is missing. The countless ethnic groups and tribes that have appeared here have no history at all, and they do not know the funeral customs of the Serbs.

Except for those who are really full and have nothing to do, even the ancients would not have the idea of ​​a tomb here.

Besides, the nomads who later occupied this place probably didn't know that there were tombs under the short, nearly destroyed mound.

Even if you know it, you won't dig: "Golden people" are not found everywhere. Who will dig out some scraps of copper and rotten iron to sell?

Without culture, there will be no basis for playing antiques, let alone the market. As for the Soviet era, hehe, just like before China's reform and opening up, except for national archaeology, fools went to dig their graves!

...

After turning around, Zhang Nan still sighed a little: "It's a pity!"

"Unfortunately, you can't dig with an excavator?" Charlize Theron joked.

"I don't need an excavator here. I haven't heard them say that the tombs here are relatively shallow ~ www.readwn.com ~ The Serbs don't like to dig deep tombs like the Huns.

The time is limited, so I don’t have to live here for a few more days. Not only the Serbs stayed here for two or three centuries, but even the remains of the Mongols in the 13th century.

Layer by layer, layer by layer, if you slowly dig for a period of time to study... well, it must be interesting to explore. "

There is no time. It is very rare to live here for four or five days this time. This is the core area of ​​Central Asia. Who will stay here if there is nothing to do.

Wandering outside, I went to the white museum to take a look: This museum is just a look. Some people live here to watch the door, but it is open to the public several times throughout the year, and it is usually not open to individual visitors.

Besides...there is no such thing as an individual guest.

Even if someone comes, it is a visit organized by school-type units and groups. For example, in Almaty every summer, some people will prevent them from participating in the future.

It is usually closed, and the staff guarding the door is a family of locals, and the area around this area is used as a pasture for herding sheep and cattle.

The level of cultural relics in the collection includes pottery, iron, and crude bronzes, as well as reproductions of real objects and ancient life scenes, including the "golden man."

The model wears a pointed top hat, and the jacket, pants, and boots are full of glittering gold "gold pieces", which is exaggerated and dazzling!

These gold pieces are of course fake. The pieces of the replicas should be plated with some kind of golden chemical substance, which looks a little weird. It is estimated that they have nothing to do with real gold.

The original is in the museum of Almaty, it is considered as Kazakhstan’s first national treasure level cultural relic: Unfortunately, the Serbs have no words, and no one will ever know the name of the human bones in that set of more than 4,000 pieces of gold. .

The king who was buried in such a gorgeous costume didn't even leave a name, it's sad!
