History is the witness of a nation, cultural relics are the text of history, through cultural relics, we can read the life of thousands of years ago. Cultural relics are the epitome of history, through which we can see the glory and pain of the past. Cultural relics are the language of history, telling us through cultural relics where they came from and where they are going.
Regarding the exploration of cultural relics, there is a very noble and dedicated profession - archaeology. Through archaeology, people explore the world, life and culture of ancient times. This event is an important work for human society and culture, and will make outstanding contributions to the development of culture in the future.
In 2019, a group of archaeologists discovered a site from a thousand years ago in the UK. After professional exploration, the site was born in the fourth century AD. The discovery of this site can be said to have shocked the world, and thus attracted widespread attention from the British people and even the people of the world.
A thousand-year-old ruin that shocked the world
There are four ancient civilizations in the world, of which China has a long history. But in the twenty-first century, a thousand-year-old site was discovered in England, which is not very old. After this site was discovered by the archaeological brigade, it attracted the attention of the people of the world.
In 2017, a British archaeological team chose to conduct an archaeological expedition in the south of the United Kingdom. In their stay in the south of England, they discovered something that surprised everyone. In a small mountain village, a member of the archaeological team discovered an ancient ruins that was about the fourth century AD. After this news appeared, it shocked researchers in the british archaeological community.
At that time, the exploration of this site was also very difficult at the beginning, because the shape of the site was too large, so it was very difficult to conduct more in-depth research. At that time, the research required a lot of money and manpower and material resources, but the funds of this small archaeological team were very small, and it was difficult to support such a large scale of research, so the research was forced to stop before it began. In order to ensure the complete safety of the site, the researchers at that time took timely protection measures for the site.
But two years later, the group of archaeologists came to the place again. This time, they were fully prepared and officially began to mine and study the site. Finally, in 2019, they successfully excavated this thousand-year-old site. The present life of this site has stunned everyone.
The site is mainly a fine mural, and when the archaeological team wanted to take the site away, the local villagers did not agree. Later, after some persistence and consultation by the archaeologists, they finally discussed a method of both worlds. That is to leave this site in the local area for research and exhibition.
Myths and legends, simplified Chinese characters
About this site, mainly a beautiful ancient fresco. There is also a very beautiful and mysterious legend about this mural, which is a myth and legend of the ancient Greek period.
This myth is about a king in ancient Greece. Mainly this king had been prophesied that he would be killed by his future son-in-law. Therefore, the king's daughter has never found a suitable husband, and there is also a reason for the king.
But after a long time, it is not a good idea to keep my daughter from marrying. Therefore, the king proposed to hold a chariot race, as long as the person who defeated himself was qualified to marry his daughter. In fact, the king also put forward this condition with his own considerations, because the king is a chariot master, so defeating him is not a simple matter.
But just above the chariot race, a very skilled young man appeared. In the race, a young lad named Perops defeated the veteran King, and in the middle of the game, the king was dragged alive by a horse due to an accident during the game. This incident also verified that the king's prophecy became a fact.
The storyline recorded in this mysterious mural, archaeologists also went through a lot of inspections to know the complete storyline. But later, I found something that puzzled everyone. That is, a very strange line was found in the corner of the mural, and this line was not recognized by all the people at the time.
Therefore, after many studies, the archaeological team confirmed that this line was Chinese simplified. And also found Chinese experts, after the expert's confirmation found that this thousand-year-old artifact found from the ground on the line is: Jim here.
Confusing and conjectural
At that time, the excavation of this site appeared in the world and attracted widespread attention from the archaeological community. In particular, this ancient Greek fresco has a line Chinese simplified characters appear on it, which makes everyone feel confused.
This is mainly because the Simplified Chinese character was only able to appear in modern China, in ancient China, people used a lot of Chinese characters in Chinese fonts, of which from oracle bones to the current simplified Chinese characters, has undergone a thousand years of transformation. Especially in the fourth century AD, there were no Chinese Simplified on the murals in China, so when the Chinese Simplified appeared at the site of the fourth century AD, all archaeologists were puzzled.
So at this time, many people believe that the remains discovered by this archaeological team are not relics from 1,600 years ago. At this time, in order to verify the authenticity of this relic, archaeologists studied the authenticity of the cultural relics and began to look around for experts to repeatedly verify the matter.
After some experts in the archaeological community learned of this matter, many people went to the United Kingdom to conduct field research and research proof. After some archaeologists have proved that this line of Chinese characters does not prove that this site is fake.
Because in the fourth century AD, When China was in the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, China at that time also used a script that was very similar to the Chinese characters found, and China at that time was in a period of war, so it is very likely that because of the reasons of displacement, the writing at that time came to a foreign country, so the current Chinese simplified.
Although such a conjecture has been raised, there are still objections. In fact, no matter what the truth of the matter is, we should persist in the exploration of cultural relics and continue to explore.
brief summary:
The cultural exploration events caused by the ancient sites discovered by the British archaeological team 1,600 years ago have made us understand and realize the preciousness of cultural relics. Let us see the long history of the development of world culture from behind the cultural relics, and see the mystery and preciousness of culture.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the spring and autumn change, and everything in the world is constantly changing. The ancient culture of the wisdom and blood and sweat of our ancestors is our eternal wealth. Whatever age it is, we should regard it as our best treasure. May culture never stop, and exploration never stop.
