In historical works, we often see the word "Zhongyuan". Many people think that the Central Plains refers to ancient China, which is actually correct in this understanding, but more accurately, the ancient Central Plains mainly refer to the area of henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, and then specifically refer to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River centered from Luoyang to Kaifeng, which is the cradle of China's ancient civilization.
For a long time in history, the Central Plains have always been the ancient political, cultural and economic center, and it was not until the completion of the three population migrations to the south that the economic center of gravity was shifted, and the political center began to shift to today's Beijing, Nanjing and other places. Therefore, in today's Central Plains, there are many ancient ruins, such as the "zero girl" to be said today, which also comes from here.
From 1994 to 1995, a group of archaeologists were welcomed in Zhikou Village, Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and the ruins of Zhikou Village were recreated. The ruins of Zero Mouth Village not only contain ancient tombs from the Warring States and Han Dynasties, but also prehistoric ruins have been found. In particular, the discovery of the skeleton of a young woman brought to life a pending case that had been buried for more than 7,000 years.
According to skeletal testing, the woman was about 15 to 17 years old at the time of her death, and she is now a suitable young girl, even if she was a young woman in her youth at that time. But another piece of information revealed by the skeleton made the experts present sigh and even exclaim: "How did you die so tragically?" ”
How miserable is the zero girl? There were 35 serious injuries alone, and it can be said that none of the whole body was complete; 29 of them were sharp contusions, and the other 6 were compound injuries, and the left hand was missing. Why is it a sharp contusion? Not only through the marks left on the bones, but also because of the 18 bone artifacts embedded in the body of the zero-mouth girl!
A total of 18 bone artifacts were preserved in a young girl's body until she died, until it was discovered more than 7,000 years later. The 18 bone artifacts include 8 bone forks, 2 bone hammers, and 8 bone hairpins, which were once precious cultural relics, but now they are part of the 7,000-year-old mystery.
Why? It should be known that the bone fork is a tool for fishing, the bone hammer is a tool for hunting, and the bone hairpin is an ornament, which can be understood as the earliest women's jewelry. What mistake did a person make that would cause the entire tribe, male or female, to hurt her fiercely?
And one thing to notice is that it was mentioned repeatedly in the text 7,000 years ago. 7,000 years ago was basically the time when the end of the Paleolithic period and the early New Age intersected, when the social form was mainly composed of tribes that honored women, which is what we often call matrilineal clans.
In the social situation at that time, the status of women was much higher than that of men, especially young women in their prime, and they were the treasures of each tribe, and it was impossible to be treated in this way under normal circumstances. It was still the experts who speculated about the possible reasons by examining the wounds on the whole body of the zero-mouthed girl.
Experts have found multiple injuries in the pubic bone of the zero-mouthed girl, and three bone organs have been pierced directly into the lower abdomen and pelvis; for the ancient tribes that multiplied and bred more than anything, this situation can only mean one thing, that is, the reproductive organs of the zero-mouth girl may have mutated.
In the ancient times when the belief in ghosts and gods was advocated and reproduction was advocated, if the reproductive organs mutated, it must have been a very terrible thing in the eyes of people at that time, and it was "heresy". In this case, it seems that it is also possible to explain that the zero-mouth girl was treated as a "sacrifice" or an "alien" and imposed such a terrible criminal law.
But as for the specific situation, unless there are more relevant relics to add to it, it will always be a mystery that has traveled through 7300 years.
