Chapter 257 The interrupted archaeological live broadcast On the screen behind Ye Zhen, it was a bronze vessel similar to a barrel.
It's just that on the top of this bronze barrel are some complex and exquisite sculptures.
Various bronze figures, objects and animals.
"This is the bronze shell container.
Experts found that the style of this bronze is completely different from that of bronzes from the Central Plains.
It is a bronze vessel that has never been seen before.
The cultural relic experts at that time knew that this thing was incredible.
This is a bronze civilization other than the Central Plains civilization.
Before this, another site that did not belong to the Bronze Civilization of the Central Plains had been unearthed.
This is the Sanxingdui ruins.
Everyone knows the Sanxingdui ruins. "
The Sanxingdui ruins are the ancient Shu Kingdom, and the bronzes inside are completely different from those of the Central Plains civilization.
When it was excavated, it shocked the world.
This cultural relic expert in southern Yunnan seems to have seen a bronze civilization similar to the Sanxingdui site.
A bronze civilization independent of the Sanxingdui site and the Central Plains civilization.
“The cultural relic expert was very excited at that time.
Let the businessman take him to the place where the bronze was purchased.
Finally, after going around for a while, we finally arrived at a place called Shizhai Mountain.
This Shizhai Mountain is on the southeast coast of Dianchi Lake.
Local villagers can tell in detail where these bronzes were dug out.
In which pit is there something?
The cultural relic expert immediately contacted his superiors, and then the archaeological team arrived.
Start digging right here.
The first thing unearthed were some bronze weapons.
These bronze weapons include not only bronze spears, bronze swords, but also bronze axes.
And these are not used as ritual vessels or sacrifices.
There were chopping marks on them, so they were obviously practical tools.
Next came the bronze shell containers.
The top part is extremely exquisite and complex. The purpose of these bronze shell containers is to store money.
Because this bronze shell container is filled with many sea shells.
What are seashells?It was a symbol of money back then.
People in the ancient Dian Kingdom still used seashells as coins.
Several bronze shell containers have been unearthed.
Among them, several bronze shell containers are the most eye-catching.
Because the scenes on those shell holders were human sacrifice.
Even after more than 2000 years, you can still see the entire sacrificial scene.
The heads were cut off, the prisoners of war were tied to pillars, and executed in public.
These are named sacrificial shell containers.
At that time, the ancient Dian Kingdom still had the tradition of human sacrifice here.
Among them is one of the most complex bronze sacrificial shell containers.
There are a total of 52 bronze figures on it. Just by looking at it, you can realize how weird this sacrificial scene was. "
Human sacrifice has been popular since the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
This is also true of the tradition of human burial.
Behind Ye Zhen is the picture of the bronze sacrificial shell storage vessel.
It can be seen how superb the craftsmanship of this bronze was back then.
The movements and expressions of each little bronze figure can be seen.
“There is a double snake pillar in the middle.
This pillar can only be owned by princes and kings.
Therefore, it is said that the excavated bronzes belonged to a vassal king at that time.
The archaeological team at that time could not understand which prince and king it was.
With such great strength, he can produce such exquisite bronzes.
There seems to be no record of this in history.
Just when everyone was wondering which prince and king this was.
A very small artifact was unearthed at the site of the archaeological excavation.
Unlike the huge bronze vessels that are usually unearthed, this one is only about the size of a palm.
It is very unnoticeable, but this object reveals who was once here in Shizhai Mountain.
Because there are four big characters written on it, the Seal of the King of Dian.
Archaeologists didn't know until this moment.
It turned out that these bronzes actually belonged to the King of Dian.
And this King of Dian was the master of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
The ancient Dian Kingdom recorded in history books really existed.
Soon after, two tombs from the ancient Dian Kingdom period were discovered near Fuxian Lake.
Lijiashan and Jinlianshan, these two places also unearthed many bronzes.
Lijiashan and Shizhaishan are obviously the burial areas of nobles.
Some bronze vessels used by ordinary people were unearthed from Jinlian Mountain.
The shape is not as exquisite as Lijiashan and Shizhaishan.
Not to mention what can be confirmed is that these three places are surrounded.
It may be the location of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
In this way, the location of the ancient Dian Kingdom can be confirmed.
The ancient Dian Kingdom really existed and was located near Fuxian Lake.
But this also brings up a question, where are the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom? Because only groups of tombs were discovered in the three places of Shizhai Mountain.
No ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom have been discovered at all. "
What could be confirmed at that time was that the ancient Dian Kingdom recorded in ancient books did exist.
And it's near Fuxian Lake.
Some locals near Fuxian Lake were also watching Ye Zhen's show.
Because this time the Guangdong Provincial Radio, Film and Television Bureau's propaganda efforts were very strong.
Ye Zhen's program is known to many provinces.
"Is this the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom?"
"So we were also part of Baiyue back then?"
"Back then, my grandfather picked up a lot of antiques here on Lijiashan, and even sold them for rice noodles!"
Some archaeologists also expressed their opinions.
"The ancient Dian Kingdom was also very powerful back then."
"So many bronzes are enough to show how powerful the ancient Dian Kingdom was."
"Bronze ware is strength. The ancient Dian Kingdom actually had so many bronze ware."
Until 2006, the ancient Dian Kingdom was still being Zhen said in a mysterious tone: "In 2001.
Under the surface of Fuxian Lake, someone discovered that there was an ancient city under the lake.
It was very exciting at the time.
Fuxian Lake is the first deep-water freshwater lake in the interior.
At that time, CCTV was to explore Fuxian Lake.
We directly purchased a set of high-definition cameras to conduct live underwater archeology in Fuxian Lake.
However, the live broadcast only lasted for less than 50 minutes and then stopped. It was broadcast live on CCTV 13 at the time.
Set a new high in reason for the suspension has not been made public, and the original video has disappeared from the Internet. "
Everyone felt something was wrong after hearing this.
Many viewers have watched the live broadcast of Sanxingdui Archeology.
The entire archaeological process can be seen.
"Why did the live broadcast suddenly stop?"
"Could it be that something incredible happened?"
"I was watching the live broadcast back then, but it was interrupted for no apparent reason."
I heard Ye Zhen introduce this matter.
Many people who experienced it personally at that time remembered it one after another.
At that time, the Internet was not that developed, and everyone’s only entertainment was television.
That was the golden age of television.
At that time, CCTV broadcast a live broadcast of the archaeological visit to Fuxian Lake.
However, the live broadcast was immediately interrupted after about 50 minutes.
Then there was no more content. The most bizarre thing is that the live archaeological video can no longer be found.
Seeing this, some archaeologists stopped talking.
Apparently some people were involved back then.
"Do you know something?"
"No, we signed a confidentiality agreement back then."
"What is it that cannot be released to the public?"
A group of archaeologists were arguing together.
The locals of Fuxian Lake have been spreading legends about Fuxian Lake.
In a small courtyard, several primary school students sat around watching Ye Zhen's show.
"I heard from the old man that there are nine mysterious places in Fuxian Lake."
"I heard my dad say that too."
"My grandma said that there is a demon tower with more than ten floors under the water of Fuxian Lake, just like a pyramid."
"My grandfather told me the same thing."
One of the primary school students called his grandfather.
An old man with a messy beard and a tobacco stick came out of the house.
The cigarette rod is glowing orange.
"My dear grandson, why are you calling me grandpa?"
Sun Tzu asked directly: "Tell us the story of Fuxian Lake."
The old man laughed and said, "Why do you suddenly want to know the story of Fuxian Lake?"
The grandson pulled the old man's sleeve and said, "Grandpa, tell me!"
The old man was sitting on a small bench.
"Speaking of Fuxian Lake, we have to mention the demon tower inside."
"It's actually said that this demon tower with more than ten floors has sealed an incredible monster."
monster?
Apparently primary school students are very interested in these legends.
"Grandpa, what kind of monster is it?" the grandson asked curiously.
The old man knocked the cigarette rod against the stone steps on the ground.
"Grandpa, I don't know either."
"In addition to the demon tower, the sky above Fuxian Lake is also a no-fly zone."
"During the Anti-Japanese War, no plane dared to fly over Fuxian Lake."
"A plane made a mistake and accidentally flew over Fuxian Lake. As a result, it crashed and died."
"Furthermore, there is the depth of Fuxian Lake. It is said that Fuxian Lake is the deepest that has been discovered, and it is more than 150 meters."
"Whether it goes deeper no one knows."
"There may be some strange aquatic monsters at such a deep place. Some people claim to have seen water monsters here."
Fuxian Lake monster? It seems that wherever there is a lake like this, someone will claim to have seen a water monster.
Just like the world's most famous Loch Ness Monster and my country's Changbai Mountain Monster.
Didn't you expect that there are water monsters in Fuxian Lake?
"Furthermore, it is said that this is the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and there are many exquisite buildings in it."
The grandson counted on his fingers and said, "Grandpa, are there any more?"
The old man rearranged some local tobacco pipes and lit the cigarette with a match.
"Grandpa has only heard so much."
"Grandpa also heard it from grandpa's grandpa."
At this time, the program just came back from commercials.
Sun Tzu and other primary school students’ attention returned to TV programs.
Ye Zhen said: "In 2006, CCTV organized archaeological filming again.
However, there was no live broadcast this time. Many archaeologists and photographers dived into Fuxian Lake.
The archaeological content this time has not been released.
By 2014, CCTV, under the leadership of the National Archaeological Administration, conducted the third filming.
This time is the most detailed video information about Fuxian Lake that we can see now.
There is indeed an underground ancient city in Fuxian Lake.
This ancient city is extremely developed, and the streets and houses are very clear.
And it is very well preserved underwater.
Dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years, half a year for neither dry nor wet.
Everyone thinks this is the ancient Dian Kingdom back then.
Then the question arises, if this is really the ancient Dian Kingdom back then.
How did the ancient Dian Kingdom sink to the bottom of this 150-meter lake? Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attack and destroy the ancient Dian Kingdom? "
This is one of the many mysteries of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
At that time, Shizhaishan and other three burial places were connected to form a triangle.
Everyone thinks that the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom are located in this triangle.
But everyone was looking for it on land.
But they overlooked that part of Fuxian Lake is also in this triangle.
Later, it was discovered that there was a sunken ancient city in Fuxian Lake.
