Chapter 615 The real ancestor
In 1926, on Longbone Mountain in Zhoukoudian, Yanjing, Chinese archaeologists discovered two early human teeth fossils about 690,000 years ago. This discovery caused a sensation in the Chinese archaeological world at that time. Then in 1927, a large-scale excavation operation was launched on Longbone Mountain.
In 1929, the first relatively complete skull fossil of Beijing/Beijing/human skull was found on Longbone Mountain; the subsequent excavation work was intermittent, until 1936, and a total of five relatively complete skull fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skull and about 200 other various skull fossils belonging to Beijing/Beijing/human.
The discovery of fossils of human skulls is a major event in the history of world paleoanthropology. So far, no ancient human site has so many ancient humans, ancient cultures, ancient animal fossils and other materials like Zhoukoudian Beijing/Beijing/Man. The fossils of human skulls have become a rare treasure that is widely watched by the world scientific community. Although "Beijing/Beijing/Man" is not the earliest human, as a representative of the intermediate link from ape to human, it is called "the most meaningful and moving discovery in the entire history of ancient humans." Therefore, the preciousness of fossils of human skulls can be imagined.
It is precisely because of this that the skull fossils in Beijing/Beijing/human skull fossils aroused the coveting of all parties. At that time, it could be said that no matter which country it was, they wanted to take these five precious skull fossils back to their country. Not to mention the Japanese who had already begun the war of aggression against China at that time, they tried their best to get these five precious skull fossils.
But Chinese archaeologists at that time were not fools, so they naturally had to try their best to protect the skull fossils. Unfortunately, under that condition at that time, the Chinese were simply unable to preserve such precious skull fossils.
In desperation, the Chinese archaeologists led by Professor Jia Lanpo, known as the "Father of the Skull Fossils of Beijing/Beijing/Human Skull Fossils", were forced to hide these five precious skull fossils in the Union Hospital, which the Americans invested in at that time. Although the Japanese were domineering in China, they did not yet break up with the United States, so the Japanese had no choice but to have these five precious skull fossils placed in the Union Hospital.
However, with the increasing tension in US-Japan relations, these skull fossils are not very safe to be placed in Union Hospital, so after seeking Chang Kaishen's consent, these five skull fossils were approved to be transported to the United States for preservation.
But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Just when these five skull fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skulls were transferred according to the transfer plan, an unexpected turn occurred.
At that time, the transfer plan was to prepare to be escorted by the US Marine Corps to arrive at Qinhuangdao Port by a special train from Peking to Qinhuangdao, and board the ship there. The ship was named "President Hudson". The plan was to arrive in Qinhuangdao on December 8, 1941.
But just when the train arrived in Qinhuangdao on the morning of December 8, Japan's air strike on Pearl Harbor had begun. Immediately, the Japanese army stationed in the Shanhaiguan area of Qinhuangdao suddenly attacked the US military. The trains and military personnel of the US Marine Corps, including the Holmes Barracks in Qinhuangdao, became prisoners of the Japanese army. Materials and luggage, including the "Beijing/Beijing/Human Skull Fossils", of course became the spoils of the Japanese army and disappeared from now on...
Until now, seventy-seven years have passed, and the whereabouts of the fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skull have become an insolvent mystery. Countless people around the world who want to find these five skull fossils cannot find traces of these five skull fossils. Even if China uses the power of the country to find it, it is still impossible.
Since the liberation, the Chinese have never stopped searching for fossils of skulls in Beijing, and there are also many news about skulls in Beijing, but whether it is skull fossils buried in the Japanese altar, installed on the wreck of the "Awamaru", or the fossils were actually in the hands of the United States or Japan, they were eventually proved to be invalid clues.
The Chinese have been looking for a total of 77 years, and these five extremely precious skull fossils have never heard of them. Therefore, many people believe that these five skull fossils are likely to have been destroyed in the war.
This statement has also been agreed by many people. After all, it is just five skulls that are no different from skulls. In that era, because of the evil deeds of the Japanese, the most deficient thing on the land of China was human skulls. Therefore, it was actually a very normal thing for these five skulls of Beijing/Beijing/human skull fossils to be regarded as ordinary people's skulls and then buried or destroyed.
After all, in that era, neither the Chinese people nor the Japanese soldiers could tell the difference between these five skull fossils in Beijing/Beijing/human skulls and real human skulls. In that era, even if someone saw these five skull fossils, he would not feel the same way to distinguish them. Therefore, the statement that these five skull fossils were destroyed in the war was actually recognized by many people.
Even before Yang Jing saw these four skull fossils, he believed that the skull fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human had been destroyed by war.
As a result, I didn't expect that I would have traveled forty years ago and found these four precious skull fossils in a corner of this secret base!
Yang Jing only felt his hands tremble a little.
In fact, in terms of true value and its representative significance, these four skull fossils cannot be compared with the imperial seal that was discovered, but these four skulls came from so suddenly that it made Yang Jing a little unbelievable. If the answer given by the Holy Ring was indeed "Beijing/Beijing/Human skull fossils", he really thought that these four skull fossils were imitated.
It was precisely because this surprise came too suddenly that Yang Jing was even a little at a loss.
After a little regaining his senses, Yang Jing calmed down and analyzed why these four skull fossils appeared here.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this question can also be understood.
It is obvious that the Japanese must have snatched the five skull fossils from that special train, and then they didn't know how to transport them to this secret base. But there might be something wrong during the handover. Maybe no one specifically explained the importance of the five skull fossils, which allowed the five skull fossils to be placed in this warehouse.
Later, I don’t know when the Japanese took away a skull fossil. Of course, maybe there were four fossils when they were pulled over. Anyway, Yang Jing can’t explain why a skull fossil was missing. But that doesn’t matter. What’s important is that in the years that followed, the Japanese must have not paid attention or forgotten the existence of these skull fossils.
And this is a fossil of the human skull after all. Even if the Japanese came to transport the things here later, it would not be the soldiers who transported these skull fossils back then. They would definitely change batch after batch.
As a result, we found that there were human skulls in these boxes. No one would treat these skulls as good things. The mistake was that these skulls were placed in the box in the warehouse of this base. Otherwise, if they were outside, these four skull fossils would have been thrown away by the Japanese.
No one is willing to take a skull away. These Japanese soldiers who came to carry supplies probably won't recognize that this is a fossil of a skull in Beijing and humans. They will definitely be regarded as a normal skull. Who would want to take this thing away...
So, these four skull fossils in Beijing/Beijing/human skull appeared here. Of course, if I didn't come this time, when I cleared the base for the last time, would these four skull fossils in Beijing/Beijing/human skull be taken out, or would they be destroyed by a Japanese devil who was not aware of his profession.
Anyway, when I came to this base last time, Yang Jing did not find these four skull fossils.
Now I suddenly realized that this surprise was indeed great enough.
You should know that many people have ranked a ranking for the lost treasures in China, that is, counting the national treasure-level cultural relics that have been lost in China's history, and then ranking a ranking based on their representative meaning and value.
The first among them is the Nine Tribes of Dayu, which is undoubtedly the ranking. After all, this is the first set of symbols representing the country and royal power in the five thousand years of history of China; the second is the imperial seal, and the next is the twelve golden men of Qin, the original work of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", the fifth is the original version of "Yongle Encyclopedia", the sixth is the bronze head of the twelve zodiac signs in the Old Summer Palace, and the seventh is the fossil of the skull lost during World War II.
Yang Jing does not agree with this ranking. Of course, there is absolutely no problem with the top three national treasures. If you take out any of the three national treasures, it is much more important than any of the subsequent national treasures. However, Yang Jing believes that the original version of the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and these five skull fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skulls should be equally important. One of these two national treasures represents the inheritance and summary of Chinese knowledge, and the other directly proves the origin of Chinese people!
As for the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and the bronze head of the twelve zodiac signs, that thing cannot be said to be invaluable, but in the words of the holy rings, these things are at best second-grade items. Whether it is the original tens of thousands of volumes of "Yongle Encyclopedia" found in Mu Tianbo's treasure, or the four fossils of the Beijing/Beijing/human skull that have just been identified, the holy rings all give this a super first-grade treasure. Although they have not reached the level of a super treasure, they are definitely half a super treasure.
But that was Yang Jing's previous opinion. Now, when these four fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skull really appeared in front of him, Yang Jing immediately realized that his previous thoughts seemed to be a little wrong.
After Yang Jing saw these four fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skull, he realized in his heart that the importance of these four fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skulls was even greater than any treasure I had found before. Even if he had found the real imperial seal, even if he had found the imitation of Dayu Nine Cauldrons and the Twelve Qin Jinmen, even if he had found the original works of "Preface to the Lanting Collection", in Yang Jing's heart, those things were not as important as these four fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skulls!
It’s very simple. In my life, these four fossils of the Bei/Beijing/human skull were earlier than the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. To put it no exaggeration, they are the true ancestors of the Chinese. If we do the theory according to Confucianism, the status of these four fossils of the Bei/Beijing/human skulls must be even more than the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom!
What? Is the remains of our ancestors not more important than these objects?
If we look at these four fossils of Beijing/Beijing/human skulls from this perspective, no one can refute Yang Jing's view.
