77 Major Discoveries (1/2)
Chen Rui finally got back to Tortuga Island after 6 months. After he got into the island, he welcomed by many professors.
”Chen Rui, I heard that you have found a major discovery in the past six months.” An old professor asked Chen Rui.
Several ships carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of load, a few times back and forth, unloaded a large amount of building materials from the transport ship.
These include cut-flat huge rocks. The surface of the rock is mottled by years and wind and rain. It is covered with potholes. Some rocks also carry dirt and vines, base through this many experts here can basically judge the rock is part of ancient city wall or building.
There is also a large number of relic carved a huge column of various animal and character sculptures.
A huge idol decorated with precious stones in silver.
The gates and pillars cast in bronze, as well as various bronze and ceramic production tools and living utensils.
Many professors curious as Chen Rui definitely find something.
Perhaps not just the old professor has this question, many people on the island also have this question.
Chen Rui had definitely found a major discovery in the past six months, and it took a huge price to move back the ancient city.
”Chen Rui, can you determine what era the ancient city was built, and who built it?”
”The ancient city is built between 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, it is a .....
”Wait, you said that the ancient city was built between 11,000 and 12,000, you are sure...?” Zhao Zhongtian interrupted Chen Rui words.
The experts and scholars next to him also showed a skeptical look at Chen Rui.
It should be noted that from 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, humans in most parts of the world were still in the late Paleolithic or transitional stages of the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, and developed faster, such as West Asia, North Africa, and Europe just entering the Neolithic Age, the most advanced production tools of human beings at that time were only some simple stone tools, wooden sticks, bows, and arrows.
The use of ground stone tools and wooden sticks to build a grand old city is simply a nightly dream talk.
Secondly, the items unloaded from the transport ship include many metal, silver and other metal-decorated objects, bronzes, and fine pottery, which is even more impossible.
It should be known that the earliest human beings entered the Bronze Age were the land of Egypt. It began in 3000 BC, that is, 5,000 years ago, when bronze casting was developed from the early stage to the maturity stage in which bronzes were commonly used by humans. It development just started from far more than 5,000 years ago.
The smelting technology of gold, silver, and other metals started later than the bronze casting process.
Therefore, a large number of bronzes, gold, silver and other metal and exquisite pottery were discovered by Chen Rui. The ancient city with a large scale of construction was built between 11,000 and 12,000. This is impossible in the cognition of many experts and scholars.
Therefore, Chen Rus words expressed doubts in many professors and did they did not believe it.
Chen Rui smiled and said with great certainty, ”I am sure that the ancient city was built between 11,000 and 12,000 years ago. The people who built the ancient city were an ancient civilization that had disappeared for a long time. This civilization may not have any written records at all.”
Many experts and scholars look at Chen Rui face with a certain look. It's not like making fun of everyone. Moreover, there are so many archaeological experts here. The ancient city was built around 11,000~12,000 years ago. Chen Rui does not need to take this matter to lie to everyone.
From these two points, it is not like telling lies.
However, it is difficult to let the experts and scholars present believe that the ancient city was built between 11,000 and 12,000 years ago.
