From the Island Owner to the King

77 Bronze, Pottery, Metal Smelting

Chen Rui threw the last fish ball into the water, causing a group of small spearfish to peck at it, and said, "The ancient city was built between 11,000 and 12,000, and it was a...  .

"

"Wait, you said the ancient city was built between 11000 and 12000, are you sure...?" Zhao Zhongtian interrupted Chen Rui's words.

The experts and scholars next to him also looked at Chen Rui with suspicious expressions.

You must know that from 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, humans in most parts of the world were still in the late Paleolithic or the transitional stage between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic. Just entering the Neolithic Age, the most advanced production tools of human beings at that time were only some simple ground stone tools, wooden sticks, bows and arrows, etc.

The use of polished stone tools and wooden sticks to build a large-scale ancient city is nothing short of a fantasy.

Secondly, the items unloaded from the transport ship include many gold, silver and other metal decorated utensils, bronze ware, and exquisite pottery, which is even more impossible.

You must know that the earliest human beings entered the Bronze Age in the Mesopotamia and Egypt. It began in 3000 BC, that is, 5000 years ago. It will take more time for the bronze casting technology to develop from the early stage to the mature stage when bronze ware is widely used by humans. Much later than 5000 years ago.

The smelting technology of gold, silver and other metals started later than bronze casting.

Therefore, a large number of bronzes, gold, silver and other metals, and exquisite pottery have been discovered. The ancient city with a large-scale construction was built between 11,000 and 12,000 years ago, which is absolutely impossible in the cognition of experts and scholars.

Therefore, they expressed doubts about Chen Rui's words and did not believe them.

Chen Rui smiled and said with great certainty, "I'm pretty sure that the ancient city was built 11,000 to 12,000 years ago. The person who built the ancient city was an ancient civilization that has disappeared for a long time. This civilization may not have any written records at all."

The experts and scholars looked at Chen Rui with a sure look on their faces, not like they were joking. Moreover, there are so many experts in archaeology here. Whether the ancient city was built 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, you can find out by running over there. There is no need for Chen Rui to deceive everyone about this.

From these two points of view, it does not seem to be lying.

But to say that the ancient city was built 11,000 to 12,000 years ago, it is difficult to convince the experts and scholars present.

Everyone was skeptical in their hearts.

Li Huahua said to Chen Rui, "Chen Rui, can you take us to see it?"

Whether it's true or not, you'll find out by seeing it for yourself.

There are so many experts in archaeology here, and you can always see the truth.

The place where the building materials removed from the ancient city of Akka were stacked was closely guarded by dozens of escort members, and no one was allowed to approach without Chen Rui's permission.

"Okay." Chen Rui nodded.

Chen Rui took the experts to the place where the building materials removed from the ancient city of Akka were stacked.

Soon, most of the people on the island who heard the news came to watch the fun.

A group of people came to the open space where the materials were stacked.

The first thing you see is the huge rock removed from the ancient city wall of Akka.

Rocks have been eroded by years, wind and rain,

The surface is mottled, pitted, and full of vicissitudes.

A certain age is certain.

At least after hundreds of years of wind and rain and the erosion of the surrounding environment, the rock surface will have mottled, pitted performance, and the vicissitudes of the years.

The cutting surface of the rock is very flat, which cannot be achieved by the simple grinding stone tools and wooden sticks of the Stone Age humans.

Moreover, building a city is not as simple as having stones, but also transporting several tons of rocks to the top of the city wall more than ten meters high. Without pulleys and translation tools, it is impossible to do it even if there are many people.

This involves a lot of more complicated tools. Experts are very sure that the human beings in the Stone Age could not make such tools.

Many experts suddenly had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Even outsiders such as biologists, workers, and tourists living on the island know that it is impossible to do this with ground stone tools and wooden sticks from the Stone Age.

Therefore, many people think that Chen Rui's statement that the ancient city was built 11,000 to 12,000 years ago is very unreliable.

At this time, an expert in archaeology also said, "Look, these bronze artifacts. As far as I know, the earliest bronze artifacts appeared in humans was 3,000 BC, that is, more than 5,000 years ago, and the bronze artifacts at that time were very simple. , rough, and mostly used for weapons. These bronze utensils are very delicate and beautiful, and have been widely used in people's daily utensils. This time is already the mature stage of the Bronze Age, which is at least after 2000 BC.

There are also these pottery. The pottery first appeared in 8000-7000 BC. The earliest pottery can be called earthenware.

Look at these pottery. The main characteristics of these pottery are polishing technology, elegant decoration, beautiful geometric patterns and brilliant colors. The production technology and decoration style of pottery have developed to the peak. Such exquisite pottery could only be made ~3000 years ago.

Finally, there are these gold, silver and other metals, which our ancestors could not smelt until 2000 BC, let alone the decoration and processing of gold, silver and other metals. "

Although, it is not directly said that the Stone Age humans 11,000 to 12,000 years ago could not have done this at all. However, he told everyone the fact that bronze casting has developed into a mature stage, and the tools commonly used in people's life were after 2000 BC, when the technology of pottery making reached its peak, which can add elegant decoration and beautiful geometry to pottery. Patterns and brilliant colors, after 2000-3000 BC.

Smelting of metals such as gold and silver Our ancestors could not smelt them in 2000 BC.

It is not true to directly use the archaeological common sense that many people know to infer that Chen Rui said that the ancient city was built between 11,000 and 12,000.
