Preface
"The cultural relics unearthed in Britain from the Roman period were shocked to show Chinese simplified characters, could it be that there are Chinese travelers who have been to the UK?"
Britain, as a far region in the western part of Europe, had little communication with us in ancient history, and apart from close exchanges in modern history, we could hardly find a shadow of Britain in the history before this.
It is not surprising that a British cultural relic is engraved with Chinese, our ancient Chinese footprints are all over the world, and it is normal to marry the UK, but there is no way to explain the "Chinese Simplified" on the cultural relics, because only modern people can write simplified characters, and ancient characters are not at all the same as modern ones.
Maybe there really are traversers in the world! The mainland has also unearthed many cultural relics that look like "traversers".
Ancient Roman artifacts inscribed "Jim is here"
In 2019, a British archaeological team excavated an ancient Roman ruin dating back to 1600 years ago and made great gains, in which they found a "mosaic mural" and a stone slab engraved in Chinese simplified. (Global Network Report)
This discovery has excited the British archaeological community, which is already a major discovery in Britain in recent decades, after all, this is a 1600-year-old artifact.
As for what a mosaic mural is, it's actually just a stone painting made of colorful pebbles, and if this kind of artifact is buried under our soil, I guess you might think it's a prank by someone.
I don't think we can do this kind of thing as a treasure, because there are too many cultural relics in our collection, and any one taken out at the same time can make the mosaic small stone paintings embarrassed.
After all, Britain does not have such a long history and ancient civilization as ours, and we don't need to laugh at others, because we still have many cultural relics still lying quietly in the "British Museum"?
Although Britain does not have many cultural relics, people will rob it!
Then again, the next protagonist of this archaeology is the one that catches the eye, the archaeologists found a small stone tablet with a strange inscription that has never appeared in European history, but which we are all too familiar with!
Because several words on the slate look similar to our simplified characters, it can be clearly seen as "Jim is here".
These five modern simplified Chinese characters are about to be burned by the British archaeological expert CPU, all this is so unreasonable, is it that modern Chinese have traveled to the ancient Roman period to stay?
Although the idea of traveling through time and space gives us a lot of imagination, it is unacceptable to archaeologists, and modern science is not capable of "traveling through time and space".
If you look at this matter in reality, it is almost difficult to explain the same, if it is said that the ancient Chinese came to ancient Rome to stay, then the font used is too modern, and we have never found the same text as modern simplified Chinese characters in our history.
Even after coming to the Republic of China, we still use traditional characters, not to mention the ancient Roman era more than 1,600 years ago, when we were still in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
At that time, the land of China was devastated and war-torn and the people were struggling to survive, and the imperial court was unable to organize people to go to Great Britain.
It is impossible for ordinary people to flee so far, and they can't run far without material support, not to mention that there is no need to run that far.
Unless there was an armed long-range caravan that would have traveled so far into England, there are many records of European ancestors coming to China to do business, and there are even Jews who settled in Kaifeng, China.
It is normal for trade between the two sides to come and go, and it is completely reasonable for Europeans to come to China and Chinese to go to Europe, after all, we are also a nation that has the courage to explore outward.
Then the problem returns to simplified characters, these merchants must have used the common script of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even if they left the mark of China in Britain, it must have been the common script at that time.
The characters of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are very different from now, many cultural relics of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have fonts, some of which are more similar to our regular script today, but the overall structure is much more complex than our current simplified characters.
It is also possible that some people who can speak Chinese accidentally threw down this small slate, or it is simply a prank by a certain staff, because it is difficult to identify the age of artifacts such as slates, unlike biological bones that can be identified by technical means.
Those artifacts that "crossed over".
Compared with some of our cultural relics, the outrageous degree of the slate in the United Kingdom is still insignificant, and our cultural relics are more "cross-style".
According to a 2008 report by China.com, Guangxi Shangsi unearthed a ring that looks like a modern watch.
The ring looks like a modern watch, and it is made with great care in terms of details, not only the wristband of the watch is very realistically depicted, but also there are two hands inside the dial, and the fixed time is 10:06.
It's a bit unconvincing to say that this is just an ornament made by the ancients, after all, all the details can prove that this thing is a miniature version of a watch.
If you turn the watch ring to the side, you can even see the mechanical knob used to energize the mechanical watch, and the craftsman who made this watch really happened to make a repair watch?
What's even more outrageous is that this watch ring is eye-catching engraved with the word "Switzerland", which is even more confusing, and it is directly a miniature Swiss watch.
There is also a tool often used by "science and engineering men" to cross into cultural relics, that is, the "vernier caliper" commonly used in the manufacturing industry, which may have been used by Chinese ancestors thousands of years ago.
When a villager in Yangzhou was working, he stumbled upon an old tomb, and then relevant people came to the scene to rescue and excavate, and then found a burial object in the tomb that made everyone's eyes shine.
A tool resembling a modern vernier caliper has appeared, but the whole body is made of bronze, and the shape is very different from the modern vernier caliper.
But the specific working principle is the same, they are all accurately measured by sliding blocks, compared to the tomb owner may have been a "technical nerd" during his lifetime.
Previously, vernier calipers were invented in France in the 17th century, and the excavation of this Chinese tomb directly destroyed the French vernier caliper patent.
In addition, there are many signs of traversers who are concentrated in the "New Dynasty", which is an alternative dynasty made by Wang Mao Khan at that time, which is strange in the whole history.
epilogue
There are too many unexplained phenomena in archaeology, and the fantasy of this world is far from being fully explained by science, and many things are undeniably beyond the scope of scientific explanation.
To put it another way, it's not that these things can't be explained by science, it's that our current science is too limited, and the advanced degree of science still needs to be improved.
