When it comes to archaeology, everyone should be familiar with it. In some film and television dramas, it is often interpreted. Such as "Notes from the Tomb Robber", "Old Nine Doors", "Ghost Blowing Lights" and so on. Although they are some treasure thieves, it is also possible to say that they are archaeologists. Because their knowledge of ancient artifacts, or their culture, is quite high. Compared with regular archaeologists, they are just one more "theft". Archaeologists alone, in order to excavate or find cultural relics, can be described as hardships and tribulations.
Of course, it is good to find cultural relics in this way, but in many cases, it only consumes energy but does not gain. Because in addition to hard work, there is a little bit of luck, both, in order to succeed. Just like the following one, he is the luckiest archaeologist in history, because he looked back for the lost shovel, but accidentally found the mystery of the ancient country of Loulan.
The first is the ancient country of Loulan, a country full of legends and mysteries. From the Eastern Han Dynasty onwards, Sima Qian's "Records of History" recorded the name of Loulan. At that time, Loulan was the place where the Silk Road had to pass. At that time, when the ambassadors of the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions, they must have to pass through Loulan. Due to the special geographical location, mixed between the Xiongnu, Loulan often appeared in the behavior of "wall grass" in order to protect himself.
The ruins of Loulan are now located on the northwest bank of Lop Nur and can be said to be a mulberry field. Today's Loulan has long lost its former glory, but has become a ruin buried by yellow sand. The discovery of the ruins of Loulan is even more because of a lucky archaeologist, a lucky turnaround stop, to be able to reappear in the world.
The luckiest archaeologist of all time was Sven Hedin. He was on his way on an adventure, only to break up with the party while crossing the desert. Alone, he had been advancing in the desert, but because he had lost a shovel used by archaeology to dig, he turned back to look for it. But I didn't find it, after all, something fell out of the desert, and it was normal not to find it. Although I did not find the shovel, I reaped the greatest luck for the rest of my life, and it is indeed a great fortune for an archaeologist, that is, the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan.
So how did the Loulan Ancient Kingdom die out? Nothing more than the following points. First, because of the opening of the Silk Road, strong enemies were able to invade Loulan, so wars became frequent. Second, changes in the natural environment. You know, Loulan is now in the middle of a desert. Although it was the same then, it was definitely much better than it is now. However, with the passage of time, the social environment becomes worse and unsuitable for human habitation, and it naturally disappears. Third, because of environmental changes, Lop Nur has migrated north-south. In short, in any case, the environment of people occupies a large part. Especially in the latter, the environment determines the living space of human beings, so this is also a focus of everyone's attention at present.
