Chapter 225 Impossible Processing Technology
“Then the official excavation started in 1987.
Sure enough, many tombs were discovered underneath this.
Sure enough, it is a group of tombs of ancient people.
Many jade articles were unearthed from it.
In one of the tombs, more than 100 exquisite jade objects were unearthed.
Among these jades, there are some strange-shaped things.
Jade dragons, jade eagles, jade figures, tiger-headed huangs, etc. The types of cultural relics include axes, adzes, huangs, bracelets, rings, bis, etc.
The Sanxingdui ruins are full of strange bronze vessels.
There are some strange jade artifacts in the Lingjiatan ruins. "
I saw some jades unearthed from the Lingjiatan site appearing behind Ye Zhen.
Look at these jade stones of different colors.
Many viewers saw it for the first time.
"Are there actually that many?"
"I know that one. Isn't that a jade dragon? It was unearthed in the Hongshan ruins."
"What are these other jade stones? Why do they look so strange?"
"What's going on with this isosceles triangle jade?"
"And what the hell is this figure 8 and this ring with a vertical jade stone?"
Some of these jades have been found in previous sites.
However, many jades are unique from previous sites and some later excavated sites.
I have never found such a strange jade artifact.
Just like some bronzes in Sanxingdui, they are only found in this site.
The rest of the ruins have never been discovered at all.
"Look at these three beauties, they were found in one of the tombs.
During the excavation, they found these three beauties, which made the archaeological team very excited.
Because such complete beauties are rare.
It shows that the identity of the owner of this tomb must be very noble.
Everyone looked at the three beauties carefully and felt that they looked familiar. "Ye Zhen pointed at the beauties.
Audiences soon discovered it.
"This looks like the bronze heads unearthed in Sanxingdui before!"
"It really looks like it. Aren't these the same heads as those in Sanxingdui?"
"Is this actually related to Sanxingdui?"
However, the ones in Sanxingdui are made of bronze, while the ones here are just jade.
And in terms of age, the Lingjiatan site is more than 2000 years older than the Sanxingdui site.
So let’s talk about the bronze heads of the Sanxingdui ruins and the people inside them.
It may be related to the Lingjiatan ruins.
"Look at these round jade stones again.
This is a very common jade article in our later generations.
There are also some that are only half, which are called Yuhuang.
It is a symbol of noble status. "Ye Zhen continued to introduce.
“And during the excavation process, archaeologists discovered many jade hearts.
Each of these is small, like a jade heart the size of a coin.
It was taken out from those round jade stones.
These jade hearts were also found in the tomb.
It shows that the person buried here may have been a jade craftsman back then.
These jade hearts are the traces of their production back then.
But the archaeologists wanted to match the excavated jade hearts with the unearthed jade artifacts.
But among so many jade hearts, only one can match.
What does this mean? This shows that some of the jades produced in the Lingjiatan site were probably traded.
Didn't stay here.
So we saw many different jade hearts, but no matching jade objects were found. "
Did the ancients actually start trading externally at that time? There are also the three beauties just unearthed.
It seems to be related to the Sanxingdui ruins.
"Let's take a look at the details of these beauties." Ye Zhen showed different angles of the beauties.
You can see that a horizontal hole was drilled into the back of one of the beauties.
"Everyone saw the turning hole at that time and knew that the ancients at the Lingjiatan site were very skilled in processing.
But this drill hole directly frightened the archaeologists at that time.
It just makes people doubt their life. "
The audience doesn't understand.
"This is just a drill hole, what's so weird about it."
"I don't see what's so great about this."
"It's nothing special."
Obviously everyone knows what is so magical about this borehole.
Could it be said that this beauty is very beautiful? This beauty, which is less than ten centimeters tall, has a very vivid face carved on it.
And the face is carefully carved, which can be said to be a very exquisite craftsmanship.
But this is not enough to make people doubt the world.
Ye Zhen smiled and said: "What's the most amazing thing about this beauty? This is the drill hole behind this.
What is the thinnest part of this drill hole?
Only mm. You heard me right, and I said it right.
The thinnest part of the hole drilled on the back is only .
This is a hole the size of a hair.
If it is ordinary drilling, it can also be done using some tools.
Some drilling tools were also unearthed at the Lingjiatan site.
But look at how big this drilling tool is. "Ye Zhen then posted a picture.
Compared with the drilling tool, this drilling tool is simply out of proportion.
So how is it possible for a thick drill bit to drill such a small hole?
The audience knows why the archaeologists at the time were so shocked.
"The thinnest part is only mm?"
“Is this possible for Neolithic people to drill holes as thin as a human hair?”
"My dear, even we can't do it now."
Some are doing technical work in factories.
They know what the concept of drilling mm is.
It's not a simple thing to do even with modern machines.
"There are only two methods for drilling such a small hole." "One of them is to use a very thin pipe drill to drill the hole directly."
"The other one is laser."
"But no matter which one it is, it's impossible for the ancients to do it!"
Obviously everyone knows that these ancient people simply did not have the technology and ability to drill such small holes.
Ye Zhen continued to post another picture, "This is the enlarged drill hole."
"As you can see the drill hole is very smooth."
"Only after magnifying hundreds of times can you see the traces of drilling."
Such craftsmanship is indeed not of that era.
Those archaeological team members back then were frightened by this drilling process.
This was the first time they had seen such outrageous craftsmanship.
This is Stone Age stuff.
After some other archaeologists saw this beautiful woman.
"Without the movements and form, isn't it just like the beauties unearthed in Hongshan?"
"The hands are raised in front of the chest, and the posture is standing. This is the same as the jade figure unearthed from Hongshan."
"And the Jade Dragon is carved from the same mold as the No. [-] Dragon in Hongshan."
Obviously this beauty looks ordinary.
But the drilling technology was beyond that era.
It is still unclear how the ancients did it.
I only heard Ye Zhen continue to say: "In addition to the drill hole of this jade woman, there is also something like a jade trumpet.
There has never been a second jade trumpet unearthed so far, and this is also the only jade trumpet.
So now we don't know what this jade trumpet is.
The craftsmanship of this jade trumpet is also very outrageous. It is extremely smooth and there are no traces of polishing or cutting at all.
The most outrageous thing is that the thickness of this jade is very uniform, the thinnest part is only mm. "
This jade woman is something like a jade trumpet with an unknown purpose.
The processing of both things is not like that of that era.
After hearing Ye Zhen's words, everyone felt why the ancients at the Lingjiatan site seemed so evil?
Such processing technology obviously does not belong to that era.
"How did the ancients do it?"
"I can't imagine how this was done."
"Back then, we didn't even have bronzes. We could do this just by relying on stones."
"It's so outrageous, I have doubts about life."
But combined with Ye Zhen’s previous programs.
What if the Lingjiatan ruins possess some technologies from the previous civilization?
In fact, some scientists believe in the existence of prehistoric civilizations.
"Could it be some technology from a previous civilization?"
"What is this trumpet-shaped jade made of? Is it just for sacrifice?"
"Is this because they use the so-called spiritual energy to process it?"
After all, they can absorb the oxygen 18 in jade, so it seems reasonable to use spiritual energy for processing?
Obviously, the jade trumpet and the jade woman's drilling are weird.
How could such technology be possessed by the ancients of the Neolithic Age?
Professor Yan Xin looked at the jade trumpet and jade figure, "It shouldn't be that these ancient people had such craftsmanship."
Professor Zhou also thought the same way, "the more these sites are excavated, the more puzzling they become."
Old Wu smiled and said, "This is the charm of ancient civilization."
Obviously if Ye Zhen hadn't been here to popularize science.
No one knows that such a jade civilization exists.
No wonder some people say that the Lingjiatan site is the pinnacle of jade civilization in our country.
Ye Zhen continued the introduction, "Everyone, take a look at this jade dragon.
I believe many people can see that this is a jade dragon.
Speaking of this jade dragon, the most famous one is the jade pig dragon in Hongshan Culture.
Known as the best dragon in the world. "
Compared with the Lingjiatan ruins, the Hongshan Culture is relatively famous.
Because it is recorded in the history books.
I also talk about Hongshan culture in class.
“These jade dragons from the Hongshan Culture are all C-shaped.
And it has a pig's nose, so it is also called the Jade Pig Dragon.
Why do you say this is the Jade Pig Dragon?
Because there is controversy now, some people say that this is the earliest form of dragon, and it is also the earliest image of dragon.
Some experts said that this is a pig. Looking at the nose and the carving, it is clearly a pig.
But how could a pig have such a slender body?
Some people say that this may represent the earliest developing embryo of human beings.
A jade dragon was also unearthed from the Lingjiatan site.
However, everyone found that the Jade Dragon without the Lingjiatan ruins was a little different. "
different place?
Some viewers took a closer look at the Jade Dragon from the Lingjiatan Site and the Jade Pig Dragon from the Hongshan Culture.
"There seems to be no difference between the two."
"They're all C-shaped, so they're the same thing."
"But the two places are more than 1000 kilometers apart."
"In ancient times, this was a very far place."
Distances in ancient times were not the same as our current transportation conveniences.
Now for us, more than 1000 kilometers is very far away.
Why are the Lingjiatan ruins and the Hongshan Culture two places?
There can be something so similar.
Speaking of distance, the distance between the Sanxingdui ruins and the Lingjiatan ruins is even further.
Why are the beauties in Lingjiatan so similar to those in the Sanxingdui ruins? It shouldn't be.
Some historians look at the Jade Pig Dragon of the Hongshan Culture and the Jade Dragon of the Lingjiatan Site.
"Many jade dragons were unearthed in Hongshan Culture back then."
"But this is called a jade dragon. It would be more appropriate to say it is an animal jade."
"Some people say it's not a dragon, a pig, or a bear. There's no accurate explanation yet."
"This seems to be the same thing."
"However, only one such jade dragon was unearthed from the Lingjiatan site."
Ye Zhen smiled, "Have you noticed any difference between these two jade dragons?"
