Of the 5 artifacts that could not be scientifically explained, 3 of which were from China, even experts were helpless

The police in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, received an alarm of a tomb robbery, and the police quickly notified the cultural relics department to the scene for rescue excavation

This ancient tomb should be a large tomb of the Warring States period, and in the process of painstaking excavation by archaeologists, an expert suddenly saw a touch of light in the soil

Generally speaking, although the cultural relics we see are exquisite, most of them are gray-headed and earthy when they are just unearthed, and they can still reflect in the soil

Experts thought it was gold and silverware at first, but when they dug it out, it turned out to be a transparent crystal cup, which was much more expensive than gold and silverware

At that time, Du Zhengxian, director of the Hangzhou Museum, immediately sent this cup to Beijing, and Su Bingqi, an authoritative expert in charge of appraisal, held the crystal cup in his hand for 40 minutes after getting it, which showed how excited this old gentleman was

Archaeologists have been identified and believe that this cup does belong to the late Warring States period, and the process of this cup can be said to be against the sky

Because in ancient times, especially in the Warring States period, people's mining technology for crystal was very poor, if you want to use crystal to make utensils, basically you have to use a whole piece of crystal to polish, and then carry out meticulous polishing

Therefore, there are few crystals unearthed in the tomb, because the crystal carving is difficult, and there are few finished products, but archaeologists did not expect that in the late Warring States period with low productivity, such a stunning cup could be made, which looked no different from the glass we commonly used, and the mouth of the cup was also trumpet-shaped

Later, this crystal cup was also listed by the mainland as the first batch of cultural relics banned from export because of its superb manufacturing process, and the Warring States Crystal Cup against the sky was only the tip of the iceberg, after all, during the Warring States period, the level of productivity has made great progress

Then it is jokingly called by netizens that the "wireless router" of the Western Zhou Bronze Ming, so far no one can say the origin of the Sanxingdui Bronze, it is even more unsolved mystery

In 1959, a construction site in Anhui suddenly excavated a 3,000-year-old Tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and more than 100 cultural relics were unearthed from the tomb

It is reasonable to say that in an ancient tomb of more than 3,000 years, there are still more than 100 cultural relics that are completely preserved, which is already a very strange thing

Among the 20 or so bronzes unearthed here, one is particularly eye-catching, the scientific name of this bronze is "cloud pattern copper five-pillar", the shape is very unique, below is a table, above which there are 5 bronze columns standing up

At that time, there was no router, so people thought that this bronze was like a thing used to burn incense, and the 5 bronze columns symbolized incense, but archaeologists did not find any incense ash and other substances in it, which overturned this statement

However, this bronze is much heavier than the router, its overall weight reaches 5.25 kg, and the outside is all carved with clouds, but unfortunately, although this thing is called "routing" by netizens, he is certainly not a router, what role does it play

At that time, when it was first excavated, even the famous cultural relics expert Guo Moruo did not know what it was, and in recent years archaeologists have found that this instrument is very similar to the "prayer vessel" described in the book, "praying for children" is to pray for more children, which should be a magic instrument for ancient prayers for the prosperity of people

The third cultural relic, is the Sanxingdui bronze ware that everyone talks about, Sanxingdui has experienced more than 80 years from the beginning of excavation to the present, and the cultural relics unearthed in it have refreshed people's imagination one by one

At first, people were amazed by the huge bronze longitudinal mask, the bronze sacred tree, the golden staff of the pharaoh's scepter, and the bronze figure that was 2.62 meters high

However, a new bronze artifact has recently been unearthed in the Sanxingdui sacrifice area, the body is a dragon,but the head is a tiger," and more importantly, this bronze is particularly huge

This "dragon body and tiger head" is only part of the excavation, but what puzzles archaeologists is that the Sanxingdui civilization has not unearthed any writing at present, but the manufacturing technology of bronze, gold and jade is highly developed, and the Shang Zhou of the same period has been recorded in writing, why is there no such thing as Sanxingdui

Whether someone deliberately destroyed it, or whether Sanxingdui originally had no written civilization, but only recorded civilization in a special way, I am afraid that no one knows

There are also two cultural relics abroad, which are still full of mysteries, one of which is similar to the computer we usually use

In New Delhi, India, there is an iron pillar, and this iron pillar has also plunged archaeologists into a deep confusion, why an iron pillar is so special

Because in India, the pillars are generally used for sacrifice, but there are very few made of iron, because iron is too easy to rust, and this iron pillar has been exposed to the air for thousands of years and has almost no corrosion

According to Indian literature, this sacred pillar was forged in the 5th century AD, made of wrought iron, and at the top of the sacred pillar, there is an Indian pattern, which can fully prove that this artifact was built in ancient India

But why can this iron pillar remain rustless, some people think that it is the protection of the Buddha, but experts still in a scientific attitude, re-test the sample on this iron pillar

The results showed that the material on the surface of this iron column is a compound of phosphorus and iron, phosphorus and iron combined together, can indeed prevent iron rust, these two substances can form a protective film on the surface of iron, which is an effective way to prevent rust

This method also appeared in modern times, and this iron pillar appeared 1500 years ago, that is to say, the ancient Indians 1500 years ago had first mastered this technology and had taken the lead in using it to protect their iron artifacts

The last artifact is the Antikisilla machine

This artifact was discovered in 1900, when a diver in Greece, while diving in the sea, suddenly found a broken ship, on the broken ship, the diver found a lot of jewelry and gold and silverware, for the sake of prudence, the diver informed the local cultural relics department, and the local cultural relics department in the bronze, actually found a very strange thing

At first it was a pile of fragments, but after archaeologists cleaned it up, they found that the 82 fragments were parts of some kind of machine, obviously rich in distinct period style, and there were some incomprehensible inscriptions on them

In order to further study the role of this bronze, archaeologists took it to the museum and studied it, but they did not expect this research, so they used them for more than ten years

With the blessing of modern technology, archaeologists saw the whole picture of the bronze, and they were shocked that 32 tightly fitted gears were rotated to simulate the movement of the sun and moon, and calculate the time of solar and lunar eclipses

Unfortunately, this Antikisilla machine is incomplete

According to archaeologists, it was supposed to be a complex machine made up of 223 gears, so what it could calculate should be more than just solar and lunar eclipses

Scientists have found that the Antikisilla machine is equivalent to a computer, as long as it follows certain rules, it can be used to process huge data and get the final result, which is not the same as our current computer.
