Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 160 Head Jar

Seeing no one around, Wen Jin immediately picked up a set of equipment from a car, loaded some supplies, and then swung along the ropes into the tiankeng, following him all the way.

In Aning's team on the other side.

After several hours of rest, everyone's physical strength has almost recovered, and it is already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

After Aning woke up, he ate two pieces of bread in a hurry, and arranged for some people to drive to the ancient sunken ship they found yesterday with their equipment.

One is to deal with the corpses of the team members, and the other is to study the cultural relics in the ancient shipwreck.

With a wide view during the day and a Land Rover off-road vehicle for transportation, the team came to the side of the ancient sunken ship in less than three hours.

The corpses of the two team members are still there. After being exposed to the sun, they have shrunk a lot. With a heavy heart, everyone dug a few holes on the spot, buried the corpses, and mourned for a while. A final farewell to teammates who have passed.

This time, Aning's team was huge, including several archaeologists. They quickly dug up the sand under the sunken ship, moved out the pots and jars inside, and piled them aside.

When the archaeological experts in the team saw these pots and jars, they exclaimed directly, saying that these things have a history of at least 2000 years.

Good guy, as soon as these words came out, everyone immediately cheered, which meant that each of them could get a considerable reward.

For mercenaries like them, besides the fixed remuneration, the only big thing they get is windfalls, such as finding priceless cultural relics during the mission.

After the company obtains these cultural relics, they will sell them through various channels. When they make money, the company will give them a generous reward. In short, the more precious the things they find, the richer their rewards will be. .

Aning's shrewd and capable side was shown again. Under her arrangement, the people in the team became busy. Some were responsible for cleaning up the cultural relics inside the sunken ship, some were responsible for arranging the cultural relics by category, and some were holding notebooks Record number.

Just then, Aning received a call from the company.

The company issued instructions to them to take some of the things back to study first, and the others continued to dig.

It can be seen from this that the senior management of the company still attaches great importance to this batch of shipwreck cultural relics.

After Aning received the company's instructions, he immediately arranged for people to clean up a batch of clay pots, and then arranged for several people to send them back.

Since everyone was busy excavating cultural relics and there was not enough manpower, Aning called Tian Zhen to help, and asked him to help carry a few clay pots to the car.

The clay pots are heavy and vary in size, the big ones can be as big as a water tank, and the small ones are about the size of a human head, and there are extremely many of them, most of them are well preserved, and only a small part is broken.

Experts in the team speculated that the sinking process of the ship must have been very slow, otherwise most of the clay pots inside must have been crushed.

Tianzhen was very curious about the origin of these things, so he asked the experts in the team.

The archaeological experts in the team told him that this ancient sunken ship should belong to a certain country in the Western Regions. The pottery pots inside are obviously different from those in the Central Plains in terms of workmanship and shape. Many pottery pots are engraved with strange patterns. These patterns are the characteristic culture of the Western Regions, so experts speculate that this merchant ship should be transported from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.

However, some disaster was encountered during the transportation, and it sank on the road. Judging from the shape and size of the ship, the ship should be a regular merchant ship of a certain country in the Western Regions, not a private ship.

Experts have no way of judging which country this ship belongs to and what the items on board are used for, because the history of the Western Regions is too mysterious and unique, and there are few historical records, so it is impossible to accurately judge an item. belongs to.

"These pottery pots have a long history. They should be the product of the peak period of the development of porcelain culture, and they should be at least before the Han Dynasty. According to the information we have checked, the area we are currently in is located in the Queen Mother of the West who ruled here at that time. Presumably this ancient shipwreck should be related to the Queen Mother of the West." Another expert wearing glasses said.

"The Queen Mother of the West?" Scratching his head innocently, "Is it the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court in our myths and legends?"

The expert wearing glasses shook his head: "No, this Queen Mother of the West is not a character in myths and legends, but a real person in history. This ancient country once ruled a large territory in the Western Regions. It has a long history. It lasted for 600 years. However, there are very few historical materials about this mysterious country, and no cultural relics of this mysterious country have been unearthed so far, so that the archaeological community is still questioning whether this country really existed.”

"Since this is the case, how are you sure that these things belong to the Queen Mother of the West?" asked innocently.

The expert wearing glasses smiled, then pointed to the pattern on a pottery pot and said, "Do you see the pattern on it? This is the pattern of three blue birds. It was the totem of the Queen Mother of the West at that time. At that time, there were many small countries attached to it. I have seen this peculiar totem when I came here for offerings, and it has been recorded in many historical materials, so I can be sure from these patterns that these things must come from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West."

Tianzhen was not very interested in this strange country, so he asked the expert wearing glasses, what exactly are these jars containing?
Seeing that he was interested, the expert wearing glasses picked up a cracked jar from the side and handed it to him, saying: "This is a human head jar from the Queen Mother of the West, and it contains human heads. These human heads are said to be used to worship the gods of."

Holding the broken pot every day, I immediately smelled a pungent rancid smell and a spicy smell. Through the cracks in the pot, I could see that there was indeed a large group of hair mixed with black soil.

Hearing what the expert said, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the clay pot in his hand on the ground. My good guy, it turned out to be a human head inside, which is too disgusting!

The smell coming from the human head jar gave him a very familiar feeling, but for a while he couldn't remember where he smelled it, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Since there are human heads inside, what is there to study about human heads? Could it be that the human heads thousands of years ago are different from the ones now?" asked naively, puzzled.

He pointed to the well-preserved clay pots beside him: "Since you want to study it, why don't you open a well-preserved one to have a look?"

The glasses expert said: "This pottery with a human head is not as simple as you think. Although it contains only a human head, it involves many ancient rituals and cultural history about this mysterious country..."
