Is there really an underground passage hidden deep in Yunnan?
Where is the ancient Dian civilization that suddenly disappeared?
When the weather is fine, we can even directly see the ruins of the ancient city under Fuxian Lake, and see the world from the perspective of the Mountains and Sea Classics, which is a Yunnan story completely beyond your imagination!
There are many ancient civilizations in the world that have disappeared, most of which can find their descendants, such as the descendants of the Mayan civilization are today's Indians;
However, the ancient Dian civilization living along the Dianchi Lake in Kunming suddenly disappeared two thousand years ago, encountering the same problem as Sanxingdui, who are the Dian people today? Where have they gone?
Legend has it that in the mountains of southwest China, there is a secret passage hidden, you do not have to cross the mountains, as long as you travel through the past to reach India, egypt, West Asia or Southeast Asia, is it possible that the ancient Dian people left by this passage? If so, where is this passage?
Some people say that the entrance to this passage is just below Fuxian Lake, not far from Dianchi Lake, because in December 2005, the Chinese underwater archaeology team really discovered a huge underwater ancient city at this location, suspected to be the remains of the capital of the ancient Dian State, with an area of about 2. 4 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of three Forbidden City, of which a pyramid building with a height of more than 20 meters is equivalent to ten stories high is the most eye-catching;
But from the architectural structure and the symbols carved on the ruins, the ancient Dian kingdom is mainly based on civil structures, and this underwater ancient city is almost all stone buildings, so it can only come from a more distant era, and the deepest part of Fuxian Lake is measured to reach 152 meters, and no traces of underground passages have been found, so our search road has not yet begun to end?
Back in 1955, archaeologists found an ancient tomb group on the top of Shizhai Mountain along the Dianchi Lake, and a shovel went down, and it turned out that below was the ancient Dian country that had been hidden for more than 2,000 years.
The first thing unearthed is this strange bronze vessel, a person is being tied to a pillar for sacrifice, there are some drums next to it, these people seem to be preparing something for this sacrifice, and this woman, it is obvious that she is the host of this sacrifice, it should be a witch,
And the bronze also stores more than 300 Indian Ocean sea shells, how did this sea shell run to the mountains of Yunnan? Can't figure it out, encountered the same problem as Sanxingdui;
Digging further down, there are a lot of copper drums, which are enlarged versions of the drums just now, depicting slender dragon boats and this kind of saddle-shaped house with a wide and narrow upper and lower width, it seems that the ancient Dian people did not leave through any secret passage, but lived next to the Dianchi Lake for generations, so how did they suddenly disappear?
If you can find the descendants of the Ancient Dian people in reality, you may be able to crack the real reason for their disappearance, but there are 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnan, which is the descendant of the Ancient Dian people?
According to the description on the bronze, the first key point is the witch, they have a lofty status, they are an important spiritual leader of the Dian culture, but today's Yunnan, there may still be a nation that believes in witches?
There really is!
Among the many ethnic groups in Yunnan, huawai dai living in Xinping County on the south bank of Dianchi Lake still retains a strong custom of witch worship, such as whoever gives birth to a child must be blessed by the female elder, whoever dies must be a female elder to preside over the funeral, and even if the young man wants to go out to work and take a car, he must first come to the female elder to ask about the auspicious and evil luck, which is simply a reproduction of history;
Just when experts determined that Huawai Dai was a descendant of the Ancient Dian people, they suddenly found that their architectural style was completely different from that of the Ancient Dian people, who lived in this kind of saddle-shaped house with a width and a narrow bottom:
And huawai dai lived in this kind of bungalow-like building, no sacrifice, no dragon boat, which shows that they are not really descendants of the ancient Dian people, but there are some connections;
What the? Dragon?
Experts quickly moved their attention to Xishuangbanna further south, because the Dai people there still retain the tradition of rowing dragon boats, their dragon boats are exactly the same as on bronze, is it true that the ancient Dian people really crossed the lofty mountains and reached Xishuangbanna, 400 kilometers away? Could it be that today's Dai people are related to the ancient Dian people?
But this similarity alone does not mean anything, because there are too many pan-dragon boat peoples in southern China, and the architectural style of the Dai people is still different from that of the ancient Dian people, and there is no sacrifice custom;
Where do you go to find a people who can sacrifice?
Throughout Yunnan, only the Wa are the only ethnic group with sacrificial customs in reality, and archaeologists immediately rushed to the Sino-Burmese border and went deep into the Wa cottages;
It is known from the local elderly population that it means to hunt the heads of some foreigners every few years to return to the gods to sacrifice to the gods for a good harvest and peace, and it was not banned until the 1950s, but the wa headhunting is a sneak beheading behavior, while the Gudian people tie people to pillars and then perform a grand sacrifice ceremony;
And the elders of the Wa are all male, while the elders of the ancient Dian people are all women, the Dian people live almost all by the water, and the Wa people have lived in the mountains for almost all generations, which is a typical mountain people, and their houses are obviously not the saddle-shaped houses of the ancient Dian people;
Where are the descendants of the Ancient Dian people? Why didn't I find any trace of you when I went all over Yunnan? You have lived in Yunnan Mingming for more than 500 years, and it is obvious that this cannot be the ancient truth...
Just when the experts were at a loss, Dongshan, Vietnam, a thousand kilometers away, actually dug out the same ancient Dianguo copper drum as Yunnan, the same drum type, the same craftsmanship, there are dragon boats, there is this kind of saddle-shaped house with wide and narrow upper and lower widths, and even the hairstyle is exactly the same as that of the ancient Dian people, and the same braided hair droops back, which is almost a copy of the social life of the Dian kingdom;
The pattern is too small! It turns out that the ancient Dian people are not only active in Yunnan, they have long spread to Vietnam, since Yunnan does not have this kind of saddle-shaped house, then vietnam will not have? The truth seems to be gradually becoming clear, are the descendants of the ancient Dian people in Vietnam?
Unfortunately, no such houses have been found in the whole territory of Vietnam, and this kind of round house has been preserved, but it has always been inhabited by a mountain ethnic group, and the clue is so broken?
At this moment, a heavy news came from Cambodia further south, and the same bronze drum of the ancient Dian state was actually dug up in the Bohe ruins, which is a historical truth that we never dared to imagine. Why are there traces of you everywhere, but there is nowhere to look for you?
The experts rushed to Cambodia immediately, but soon found the problem, it is indeed the same copper drum, but why is there a human head in each copper drum? This obviously does not belong to the culture of the ancient Dian kingdom! This strange custom currently only exists in China's Hezhang Coke culture, and behind the Coke culture is the mysterious ancient country that is cold to the ancient Dian kingdom- the Yelang Kingdom
I believe you must have heard an idiom called "Yelang Arrogance" that says that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to attack the State of Dian, so he sent emissaries to borrow the way from Yelang, but the king of Yelang Kingdom asked the emissary: Is your Han Dynasty as big as my Yelang Kingdom? Looking at the bronze drum of the Night Lang Country unearthed in Cambodia in front of him, it seems to understand why he was so confident at that time;
Things seem to have come to an end here, there is no longer a clue to the ancient Dian people, so will so many years of exploration end in Cambodia? Just as the crowd was about to give up, a clue that we had never dared to think of came from farther south...
Some people say that on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, not only did we find the ancient Dian-style buildings that we have been looking for, but also really saw a group of suspected descendants of the ancient Dian people, which all crossed the Indian Ocean. Will this really be the case? Hurrying to buy tickets, the experts flew overnight to Medan, the largest city in Sumatra, and then drove six hours to the destination lake Toba;
This is Lake Toba, the middle island is called Samossy Island, is the homeland of the Badak people, an ethnic minority in Indonesia, surrounded by water, if the descendants of the ancient Dian people are really here, it is the most suitable environment for them to live;
When the experts set foot on this land, everyone immediately felt a shock, as if they were suddenly pulled back to 2,000 years ago, everything in front of them was clearly the restoration of the ancient society on the bronze after a thousand years, the same architecture, the same dance, even the costumes are exactly the same, the house is also this kind of saddle-shaped house that has never been found in Yunnan, Vietnam, and Cambodia;
The pillar in the center of the square is carved with human heads, as if to frantically imply that it is the pillar on the bronze vessel that sacrifices prisoners of war, and it turns out that the Badaks were famous cannibals before, who liked to tie people to the pillars and then began to hold grand ceremonies, believing that eating the other party would gain his power, which was not banned until 1816;
Amazingly, the Dance of the Badaks and the buildings where they live are only found in the Badak settlements along the shores of Lake Toba, and as soon as they leave Lake Toba, they immediately become different, you see! Their dancing movements are like the moments of solidification on the bronzes, which is a reproduction and a restoration, which further convinces experts that the Badaks are a special ethnic group completely different from the local indigenous people, like the descendants of the legendary Ancient Dian people;
But the experts could not believe that they could meet their once-disappeared compatriots in distant Sumatra, and decided to produce another piece of evidence to verify their authenticity, because the ancient Dian people had the custom of reburying, that is, burying people in the soil after death, digging them out in three or five years, and then holding a more solemn funeral;
If the Badaks were really descendants of the ancient Dian, they would certainly have had similar customs, but what no one expected was that experts were needed to verify where they needed to verify that the Badaks still firmly believed that people needed to go through two funerals after death to complete the journey of life;
In a stunned manner, the experts participated in their second burial ceremony, in addition to shock or shock, and finally someone proposed to compare the DNA of the Badaks and gudians, and everything will be the truth.
After repeated testing, it was found that the genes of the Badak people were very close to those of the Baiyue people along the southern coast of ancient China, but unfortunately, we have not been able to get any effective genes of the ancient Dian people so far, because they are destroyed by a large amount of acidic soil and cannot be compared;
But everyone is waiting for this day to come, no matter what the outcome, we must always believe that the migration and spread of ancient civilizations, once carried out with a force unimaginable to modern people, it will not be easily changed with the passage of time, and the culture and bloodline that were once in the same vein, even if they are far apart, can still recall the ancient and common memory we once had!
