Chapter 1170 – Convince
“The tomb of a thousand year old ghost? What are you talking about? Are you having brain problems or am I not sober?”
Ren Chunqiang is a bit puzzled, after receiving the object that Zhuang Rui threw over that color is a bit dark and black, his right hand is violently sunk, almost did not catch the gold cake, obviously the weight of this object exceeds Ren Chunqiang’s estimation.
Generally unearthed in the tomb of gold, not people imagine that the shiny appearance of gold, but the surface will be a little black dark, no research on gold people, and even think it is brass.
But Dr. Ren has seen a lot of unearthed gold and silver, and once he got his hands on it, he immediately recognized it and opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked, “This …… is gold?”
Just from the shock of seeing a ghost to wake up, Dr. Ren can not help but shake his head, carefully end up in the hands of the gold cake to, and even the gold cake will be held in the mouth to bite a little bit, he wants to confirm that this is not a self hallucination.
To know, the higher the purity of the gold, the softer it is, with the fingernails can be scratched out shallow marks, Dr. Ren will be removed from the mouth of the gold cake after the two teeth marks are clearly visible.
“Zhuang Rui, from where to get such a high purity of gold?”
Looking at the teeth marks on the gold cake, Dr. Ren Chunqiang was more and more surprised, could it be that there is really a crystal palace hidden in this lake? Otherwise Zhuang Rui disappeared for more than an hour, not to mention, actually came up with a piece of gold?
“Brother Ren, what do you see written on it?” Zhuang Rui smiled without answering.
“Hm? This …… is the font?”
Dr. Ren’s old face flushed, he just looked carefully, there were indeed some lines on the top of the gold cake, but he took it as some ornamentation, and hearing Zhuang Rui say so, he re-observed it again.
“This …… should be the ancient Mongolian script, the earliest one.”
Looking at the text on the gold cake, Dr. Ren mused for a while and said with a bitter smile, “This kind of script was only circulated among the Mongolian royal family at that time, and ordinary Mongolians were not allowed to learn it, so it was lost later on, and there are not many people who know this kind of script now.”
Although Dr. Ren’s research direction was not the Mongolian Yuan culture, but with one pass, he more or less knew a little bit of the history of that time, but he just couldn’t recognize the writing on it like Zhuang Rui did.
“Hey, brother Ren, I just happen to recognize these words, it reads together, it’s called ‘Marco Polo’, can you think of something?”
Zhuang Rui smiled at the words, this was the first time he had seen his seemingly omniscient senior brother, there were still things he didn’t know in terms of theory.
“Marco Polo? How come it reads so awkwardly? Brother Zhuang, what does this mean?”
Before Dr. Ren could reply, Peng Fei, who had already recovered on the side, asked out, he had seen before, in that underwater cave, but there was a large pile of such gold cakes.
“Hey, I say, what kind of expression do you all have?”
After Peng Fei asked, did not see Zhuang Rui answered his words, but saw surrounded by a few people, one by one, mouth wide open, face are hanging shocked, puzzled, excited all kinds of expression.
“Marco …… Marco only catty, that …… that is our Mongolian Khan, Temujin’s surname, Ba …… Bartel big brother is the surname Marco only catty. ”
Timur stuttering words, solved Peng Fei heart of puzzlement, as more than a thousand years ago, the golden family, only the descendants of Temujin, only qualified to surname “Marco Polo”.
And Bartel, happens to be the direct descendants of Temujin, his ancestors, thousands of years are left on the prairie guarding the ancestral tomb, put in the Qing Dynasty, Bartel may be able to mix a Mongolian prince when it!
This piece of gold cake left on the word “Marco Polo”, no matter how it will be related to Genghis Khan, so in addition to a confused Peng Fei, the rest of the few people who know the origin of these four words, all are shocked.
“Zhuang Rui, you didn’t make a mistake, did you?”
Dr. Ren asked half-heartedly, he really couldn’t believe that Zhuang Rui was able to find information about the Golden Family even though he was groping for fish in the lower lake?
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said with a straight face, “Brother Ren, my profession you are not unaware of, I do not know the Mongolian script, but some of the books published in recent times, there are notes on these words.”
“Then …… how did this …… thing get there?”
It was only at this time that Dr. Ren remembered to ask after Zhuang Rui’s encounter at the bottom of the lake, in this short period of more than an hour, Zhuang Rui had gone from missing to showing up to bringing such an amazing object, making Dr. Ren’s brain a little short of oxygen as well.
“Uh, it’s like this, there was a cave at the bottom of the lake that I found after I swam in.”
Zhuang Rui half-truthfully told his process at the bottom of the lake, focusing on the other side of the cave at the bottom of the lake with traces of axe chiseling carefully explained, of course, that cave was only discovered unintentionally.
“This …… could be a Mongolian royal tomb?”
Out of the sensitivity of archaeological work, the first thought that came to Dr. Ren’s mind after listening to Zhuang Rui’s account was the discovery of the Mongolian King’s Tomb.
Imagine who had the ability to excavate a cave at the bottom of a lake, except for the Mongolian emperors? And naturally, its motive was self-evident, it must be a shelter for the emperor after his death.
Thinking of this, Dr. Ren couldn’t help but get excited, the tomb of the Mongolian emperor, but for thousands of years countless people pursued the goal ah! In terms of its mysterious concealment, it is the tomb of Qin Shi Huang could not be compared to it.
“Brother Ren, I am not sure, but there must be a huge secret hidden inside, I think …… it is necessary for us to conduct further surveys.”
Zhuang Rui shook his head, of course he would not say that the Genghis Khan Mausoleum at the end of that dark river, out of the concern for the aura in his eyes, Zhuang Rui did not want to say too much, only need to carry out some guidance at this time is enough.
“It’s necessary, of course it’s necessary, it’s simply too necessary.”
After Dr. Ren heard Zhuang Rui’s words, he nodded his head like a rattle drum, what kind of joke is this? Discovering the clues to the Mongolian Emperor’s Tomb, that was something that shocked the world, could it not be necessary?
If you can really confirm the existence of the emperor’s tomb inside, then a few people present, will be recorded in history, just like the discovery of the “Peking man skull fossil” archaeological predecessors, become a model for future generations to learn and admire.
“Brother Ren, maybe there is nothing inside, these years there are a lot of people claimed to have discovered the tomb of Genghis Khan or Mongolia King’s Tomb ah!”
Zhuang Rui deliberately poured a pot of cold water, what he said was also the truth, since entering the beginning of the last century, there were countless people who had fantasies about the Mongolian royal tombs, and there were even large consortiums from many countries that funded some explorers to enter Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, to carry out archaeological expeditions.
There were also quite a few scholars and exploration teams that claimed to have discovered the tomb of Genghis Khan, but the final results of the scientific research proved that at best, they only found the tombs of some ordinary Mongols, and they could not even be counted as aristocrats.
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Dr. Ren waved his hand and said, “It’s not the same, Zhuang Rui, that’s not the same, those previous discoveries were all unearthed on the surface of the ground, while the cave you found under the ground is at least ten meters deep, and it’s highly likely that it was built by a Mongolian emperor.”
Zhuang Rui heard a joy in his heart, he was afraid that Ren Chunqiang did not believe, now after seeing Ren Chunqiang’s attitude, it must be that this emperor’s mausoleum is far away from the world, can already start counting down.
“Brother Ren, then …… what do we do?” Zhuang Rui deliberately made an appearance of not knowing what to do.
“Zhuang Rui, I’m going to go down with you, and when I see the conclusive situation inside, if it’s the same as what you said, then I must report it to my mentor immediately.”
For archaeological work, Dr. Ren was still extremely strict, he would only make a decision after seeing the situation inside with his own eyes.
“In addition, we have to ask the local garrison to blockade this place tightly and not allow any outsiders to enter, Brother Bartel, this matter should be handled by you and Peng Fei together, and remember not to leak a single bit of information.”
For the protection of the tomb unearthed, Ren Chunqiang attaches great importance to, we must know, man-made disasters are sometimes even more than natural disasters, if those with evil intentions learn that there is a Mongolian emperor’s mausoleum here, maybe not waiting for them to excavate, the inside has already been emptied of people.
“This …… this ……”
Just Dr. Ren did not expect that after he finished these words, the always brash Bartel, his face showed a difficult look to Ren Chunqiang thought for a moment, his heart suddenly understood.
Bartel as a direct descendant of Gis Khan, right now is to hear outsiders want to dig the ancestral tomb, that mood must be quite complex, did not and Zhuang Rui two people turned their faces, it has been extremely rare.
“Bartel big brother, Mongolian culture is an extremely important part of China’s history, the purpose of our archaeology, is to excavate and organize these have been forgotten by the descendants of history, so that the truth of the history of the world, and in the process of excavation, we will certainly protect the remains of the ancestors.”
Zhuang Rui also guessed what Bartel thought in his heart, after seeing Bartel’s ugly face eased for a while, then continued, “The national archaeological excavation will ensure the integrity of the tomb to the greatest extent possible, and this is if the tomb robbers get ahead of them, I’m afraid that not only the objects within the tomb will be looted, that is, the bones of the ancestors, will all be destroyed.”
Generally various tombs within the highest value of the burial goods, are within the coffin next to the body of the tomb owner, so the tomb robbers after entering the tomb, the focus of attention is inside the coffin, almost as long as the tomb has been excavated, abandon the body and throw the bones that is inevitable.
Like Sun Dianying excavation of Cixi Qianlong’s tomb, Cixi body scavenged empty, directly after the bones thrown into the ground, the Qing dynasty ministers later entered the tomb, the original body is not rotten, has been a miserable sight.
Emperor Qianlong’s fate is even more miserable, the self-proclaimed emperor of the Qianlong emperor, and the empress of the bones were discarded as grass, all over the mausoleum palace.
This led to the last clean up the mess of the Qing dynasty ministers, simply can not be mixed together with the bones to distinguish out, ten full emperor died but fell a corpse incomplete.
