Mystery 1: Where did civilization originate? The discovery of Sanxingdui pushed the history of ancient Shu to 5000 years ago. Where does Sanxingdui culture come from? A large number of bronze figures and animals here do not belong to any category of Central Plains bronzes. Incredibly, there is not a word left on the bronze ware. The unearthed "Sanxingdui Man" has high nose and deep eyes, prominent cheekbones, wide mouth and big ears, and pierced ears. Unlike China people, he looks like a "foreigner". Chen Dean, stationmaster of Sanxingdui Workstation of Sichuan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said in an interview that Sanxingdui people may come from other continents and Sanxingdui civilization may be a "mixed civilization". Unsolved Mystery 2: The prosperity of the vanished ancient Shu kingdom lasted for more than 1500 years, and then suddenly disappeared as it appeared. When history is connected again, there is a mysterious gap of more than 2000 years. People have put forward various hypotheses about the demise of ancient Shu, but they all stay on the hypothesis of lack of evidence-flood theory. Sanxingdui site faces the Duck River in the north and Mamu River passes through the city, so some scholars think it is the result of flooding. However, archaeologists did not find any sediment left by the flood in the site. War theory. Most of the musical instruments found in the site were destroyed or burned in advance, which seems to prove this explanation. But later, it was found that the ages of these instruments were hundreds of years apart. Migration theory. This statement doesn't need much research, but it still doesn't answer the fundamental question: why do people migrate? Chengdu Plain is rich in products, fertile soil and mild climate, which seems difficult to be explained by disaster theory. So, what is the real reason why the ancient Shu kingdom disappeared in the long river of history? Unsolved Mystery 3: Mysterious Instruments Among a large number of bronzes unearthed in Sanxingdui, there are basically no daily necessities, and most of them are sacrificial supplies. It shows that the primitive religious system of ancient Shu has been relatively complete. These sacrificial objects have different regional cultural characteristics, especially bronze statues and golden staff, which are very close to the world-famous Mayan culture and ancient Egyptian culture. Zhang Jizhong, deputy director of Sanxingdui Museum, believes that a large number of sacrificial articles with different regional characteristics show that Sanxingdui was once a pilgrimage center in the world. More than 5000 shells were unearthed in the pit, which were identified as coming from the Indian Ocean. Some people say that these seashells are used for trading, and they are the earliest foreign exchange in Sichuan. Others say that they are sacrifices brought by pilgrims. There are more than 60 pieces of ivory, which has aroused scholars' controversy about "native ivory" and "foreign ivory". Incredibly, the ancient Shu state, which is "not connected with Qin Sai", has already had "overseas investment". Unsolved mystery 4: Words or pictures found a priceless treasure in the sacrificial pit-the earliest golden staff in the world. His scepter theory has long been recognized by academic circles, but carving patterns such as fish and arrows have caused a storm. Sanxingdui has all the necessary elements of civilization of a nation except writing. Scholars have been arguing about this for some time. Shu Wang Shu holds that ancient Shu people "don't know words, have no manners and music", while Huayang Guozhi says that Shu people "have colorful writing". As to whether the pattern on the golden staff is a picture or a text, people have different opinions. Some people have been trying to decipher it, and some people think that the depicted symbols basically exist alone and cannot express language. However, if we can interpret these patterns, it will greatly promote the mystery of Sanxingdui. There is also a question mark in the writing of Sanxingdui, which is one of its attractions. Unsolved mystery 5: When will the cultural relics exhibited in Sanxingdui Museum be revealed? This is the result of 70 years of archaeological excavation. Now the intensive excavation work is 13 excavation. Chen Dean, the stationmaster of Sanxingdui Workstation, told the reporter that this excavation is concentrated in the center of the ancient city, and it is very likely that the palaces of the ancient Shu State will be discovered. At present, pottery fragments involving dozens of dynasties have been unearthed. 65438+February 17, CCTV will broadcast the excavation live. The archaeologist smiled and said, "We will learn all about it on 17 and 17." The result is still a mystery. But one thing is certain, the mystery of Sanxingdui will not be uncovered so easily. Within the cultural protection scope of 12 square kilometers, only 7,000 square meters have been excavated. After seeing Sanxingdui, Yu said, "A great civilization should be a bit mysterious. China's cultural record is too clear. Fortunately, there are Sanxingdui. Unsolved mystery 6: Uncovering the mystery of the "golden" city in the Amazon jungle In ancient times, there was an Inca empire with Peru as the center in South America, which was very powerful. All the palaces and shrines in the capital are decorated with a lot of gold and silver, resplendent and magnificent. /kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, the Spanish overthrew the Inca Empire and plundered all the gold and precious stones. Spanish commander Pizarro heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was shipped from Manoa, ruled by a chief named Patty, where there were mountains of gold and silver treasures. Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to Huang Jincheng, deep in the Amazon forest. However, in this vast virgin forest, every step forward means fear and death. There are wild animals and poisonous snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost and threatened, and the expedition is either disappointed or unaccounted for, which makes Pizarro can only comfort himself with imagination. Unsolved mystery 7: The mysterious energy mystery of the Egyptian pyramids exists. Scientists' research shows that the shape of the pyramid makes it store a strange "energy", which can quickly dehydrate the body, accelerate "mummification" and wait for its resurrection one day. If you put a rusty metal coin into the pyramid, it will soon turn golden; If you put a glass of fresh milk in the pyramid, it will still be delicious and fresh after 24 hours; If you have a headache or toothache, go to the pyramid. After an hour, the swelling will be relieved and the pain will be relieved. If you feel nervous and tired, go to the Jade Pagoda. After a few minutes or hours, you will feel refreshed and your strength will double. Unsolved Mystery 8: Unsolved Mystery 1963.
