The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

A few large pieces of broken pottery with a sauce-red main tone, the first to show the mud is a three-dimensional human face with a half-broken cylindrical top hat, with all facial features, and the curved moustaches on the lips show a little The taste of majesty.

The head is half of the tank, and the hat is the other half, about 15 cm in diameter.

There are three layers of yellow and red paintings with complex patterns on the hat. The upper and lower layers resemble "recursive patterns", and the middle seems to be painted with three double-layer cross-shaped industrial large gears.

Take the soil with a small shovel, and then use a brush to quickly take out the broken pottery into 5 pieces and place them in 5 sealed transparent plastic bags.

There is no rush to splice, and there is no suitable adhesive on the hand, and it is not easy to connect temporarily. If you use common glass glue or 502, then this thing will be useless.

When Charlize Theron was digging in Zhang Nan, he kept squatting on the side and watching. Everything was taken out. There were no other objects in the pit. He said, "This mouth is a bit crooked, and the other facial features are serious and majestic. What the working craftsman thinks, it doesn't match up."

Zhang Nan patted the dust on his hands lightly, and was walking outside the construction site. There was tap water temporarily connected from the water tower of the mine.

After hearing what Charlie said, she said casually: "You go chewing gum, just like him."

"This thing is at least a few hundred years old, so there will be chewing gum?" The sealed bag containing the fragments of the earthenware pot of the human face would be in her hand, but as soon as this was said, Charlize Theron violently gave it to her brother. Glipped eyes.

"Ha ha!..."

Zhang Nan laughed, and once successfully led her into the ditch!

This is my sister’s reaction: The reason why people's heads are tilted is because they are chewing cocos, a specialty of the Andes. The Incas have a long history of chewing.

After washing her hands, Charlie didn't pretend to be angry anymore. Now Zhang Nan said: "I know very little about the Inca Empire, but I have seen pottery of similar shape in a Chilean museum.

A human head with a hat is a jar, and the image of this person should depict a specific person, a real individual.

According to the reason given by the museum, the destruction of the burial in this way is a process of sacrifice. "

Speaking of this, I looked at the construction site that was temporarily suspended due to lunch time, and said: "If this is really a sacrificial place that has never been discovered by the Spanish or modern people before, hehe, some of it is fun!"

Princess Xingchen blinked her big eyes, very cooperative, Zhang Nan understood in seconds, the two have had such a tacit understanding for several years.

The meaning is clear: "Say it, I'm listening!"

"The head of the jar refers specifically to a certain person. Looking at this and the decoration of the hat, this person can't be in a low status, at least at the level of a chief.

Why do you want to smash this carefully crafted jar with the image of a specific person during the sacrifice? The museum in Chile says that I don’t know why.

But according to my guess, there are two possibilities.

Here is the holy lake of the Incas. This sacrificial place is used for offering sacrifices to the holy lake. "

When Charlize Theron heard it, he pointed to the hill to the west blocking his vision, "It's blocking it!"

Yes, dedicated to the holy lake, what are you to be separated by a mountain?

"Perhaps it is dedicated to this hill? This is a gold mine. The Incas said that gold is the sweat of the sun and silver is the tears of the moon. It is not necessarily the gold that the Incas dug up this place.

Of course, this possibility is only one of them.

As for the other one, it's even simpler..."

Without Zhang Nan's explanation, Charlize-Theron said directly: "You have said several times before. There are similar situations all over the world. The things of the deceased are allowed to be taken away, and the things of the strangers are offered to the deceased. ."

"Yes, that's it."

These two possibilities are the greatest. If it is the second one, and the "chief's head" is smashed, then it is estimated that the chief himself or the chief's successor can do so.

And worthy of their efforts, the object of sacrifice is either the chief himself, or a figure larger than the chief - this construction site is a sacrifice site, and separate sacrifice sites such as the holy lake will leave a large number of sacrifices.

The most typical is Sanxingdui in China. God knows who they are offering sacrifices to!

Mountain, water, or god?

Anyway, a lot of horrifying bronzes just stay there so unreasonably!

If it is not a pure "sacrifice to heaven, earth, sun, moon and holy lake", it is generally the second situation, in which a certain person or a certain group of people is sacrificed.

This should be a cemetery, or at least a place very close to it, it would be an Inca cemetery that was at the top of the ruling class!

Whether it is a cemetery or a pure sacrificial site, to understand the situation, I can only dig it slowly, and there is no shortcut. There is no way for a senior Chinese master to come.

Do you talk about feng shui with the ancient Inca people?

Sorry, it's not a genre, the bull's head is not right, and the Feng Shui master came to no avail.

Besides, when the pot was buried, the aborigines probably didn't know what a cow is or what a horse is.

Luoyang shovel?

Not to mention that Zhang Nan doesn't have it on hand, and it's useless. The thing is actually not that mysterious. It is only useful in the Central Plains, Guanzhong and parts of the North China Plain. It is a waste in the Jiangnan area!

Luoyang shovel is suitable for the soil with thick soil layer and few impurities. It will catch the blind when it touches the stone, and the soil here has more stones than soil.

Playing high tech?

According to the current archaeological excavations, or according to Zhang Nan's knowledge of the history of the Inca Empire, it seems that the Incas have never made "overhead cave-like" tombs, and the combination of explosives and large-scale detectors is useless.

As for large ground penetrating radars, or hand-held metal detectors?

At the time of the Inca Empire, the Incas did not know what iron was, but they also used a lot of copper utensils, and gold and silver were also common.

But here is a rich gold mine, with higher silver content, and messy tin, zinc and other metals~www.readwn.com~ metal detectors are here, and the sensitivity is adjusted to be "crackling". If it is lower, then It's better not to use it.

Dig slowly and honestly!

There is no need to go back to the hotel a few kilometers away for lunch. It was delivered directly with insulation equipment. The simple fast food is still Chinese, but the big plate of the hotel is used, which is like a buffet.

Monte Bolivar doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so he has to use a spoon. Even so, he eats at a fast speed. He also praises one of the beef tenderloins, which is fried in a big pot.

The green chilies were not easy to come by. The airline was airlifted from Chile, but Bolivia did not!

He also tasted a magical Chinese dish, not scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which Zhang Nan didn't like, but fried shredded pork with mustard greens.

Pickled mustard, Danny’s inventory, Bolivians have never seen it.

This was a good meal. An off-road vehicle drove into the mine, and Bell and Sarros came back early with experts.
