Chapter Four The Burial Pit(1/2)

The popularity of Wang Yue's live broadcast room directly exceeded 50,000. History buffs and melon lovers from all over the world flocked to it. Soon someone mentioned Borobudur.

“That’s awesome!”

“What is Borobudur?”

"You don't know this? You're so ignorant!"

"You will know what is going on in Dimension Encyclopedia!"

"I just came back from the encyclopedia. After looking at the photos, all I can say is, damn it's awesome!"

"..."

Wang Yue introduced: "Borobudur is located on the Indonesian island of Java. It was built by the rulers of the Shallentra dynasty in the 8th and 9th centuries AD, using more than 100,000 laborers and spending decades. It is currently the largest and most magnificent Buddhist temple in the world.

"

"Although the architectural style of the stone tomb we discovered is somewhat similar, it is significantly larger in scale and was built around the third century AD, five or six hundred years earlier than Borobudur!"

The live broadcast room was abuzz.

"Awesome!"

"How great is my great China!"

"A lot of people were going to die at that time, right?"

"The people of the feudal dynasty suffered too much."

"Yes, people are dead, but they still build such a big house. The feudal class is not only evil but also ignorant and superstitious. I am lucky that I live in a modern civilized society."

"I beg you to live stream the opening of the tomb so that we can learn more about it!"

"I'm so curious!"

"1!"

"..."

The media from all walks of life have not yet entered the scene.

People can only understand the scene through the live broadcast room.

This has caused the number of people in Wang Yue's live broadcast room to skyrocket, and various props and gifts are being sold non-stop. In just three or two hours, the number has exceeded 50,000, and it is launching an unsuspicious impact on 100,000. According to this trend, tens of millions are feared.

I can't even stop it.

To know.

Before that.

The total number of Wang Yue's fans is only a few thousand.

The little transparent anchor has never seen such a scene.

Although I really want to share the first archaeological site with everyone, this ancient tomb is different from past archaeological sites. The Archeology Department has issued a confidentiality notice and cannot disclose the contents and cultural relics in the tomb without permission.

What's more, half of the archaeological community is here.

The interns may not have the opportunity to enter the scene immediately.

Wang Yue was about to explain, but at this moment, an exclamation came from the front.

"Why is it so noisy?"

"Is there any new discovery?"

"Anchor, please take us to see it!"

"..."

Wang Yue was also very curious.

At the moment, a professional excavation team is working on site. While they are cleaning the ancient tomb to find a suitable entrance, they are also conducting surveys and reinforcements nearby to prevent aftershocks from causing further damage to the ancient tomb or causing casualties.

One of the excavation teams unearthed something incredible.

When Wang Yue felt the scene and saw the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she almost cried out in surprise.

Human skeletons!

Countless human skeletons!

Neatly stacked in a large square pit!

Wang Yue has participated in several ancient tomb excavations and has never seen human remains, but he has never seen anything like this.

"Senior Brother Li Qiang, what exactly is this..."

"It should be a burial pit!"

Li Qiang, who was working at the site, had a serious expression on his face, "After our survey, we found that within one kilometer of the ancient tomb, there are at least ten large-scale burial pits containing thousands of people."

"Oh my God!"

Facing the thousands of remains in front of him, Wang Yue felt his scalp numb and an inexplicable chill rising up his spine, "How can there be so many mass graves out of ten?"

Li Qiang nodded: "This really subverts imagination!"

"Human sacrifice is a barbaric funeral custom. There is no specific implementation standard for how many people will be sacrificed each time, but there is a general rule."

"Mozi once said that after the death of the emperor, the number of people buried as martyrs ranged from hundreds to dozens. For those at the level of generals and officials, the number of victims ranged from dozens to a few."

"After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this bad practice was completely banned. No such large burial pits were found in the ancient tombs of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties."

"A hundred thousand people!"

"Unheard of in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad!"

"Even if human lives in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were insignificant, a massacre of more than 100,000 people would be enough to shock the world. It is impossible for there to be no record in history."

Wang Yue was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

The joy of major archaeological discoveries.

At this moment, it was cast a shadow, and even became a little heavy.

Such a large-scale and over-sized ancient tomb should have been a major event that shocked China and foreign countries, enriched the cultural heritage, and filled the Chinese nation with a sense of pride.

But with the discovery of such a shocking burial pit.

This archaeological discovery may not only arouse people's pride, but may also lead to overseas forces taking advantage of the situation and smearing Chinese civilization into a cruel, despicable and inhumane civilization.

at the same time.

The live broadcast room exploded.

"Oh my God!"

"One hundred thousand people were buried in the pit!"

"Fuck, this is simply a crime against humanity!"

"How cruel and stupid can one be to do such a thing?"

"Is there a mistake? What is the total population of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties? It is too fake to kill 100,000 people for burial!"

"Overseas forces can use this topic to their advantage again!"

"No matter who the owner of the tomb is, he is definitely a sinner of China!"

"Yeah, this bastard is probably going to keep us blackmailed for many more years!"

"..."

Such a large-scale burial pit.

It suddenly impacted everyone's outlook.

The expert team headed by Tang Biqing also felt very troubled at this moment. Both the tomb itself and the hundreds of thousands of remains buried with it were full of mystery.

What happened in the Central Plains 1,600 to 700 years ago?

Professor Tang Biqing asked: "What do you think about the burial pit?"

Professor Li said: "One hundred thousand people cannot appear out of thin air, let alone disappear out of thin air. If they are buried with a cruel and unscrupulous king, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world."

Director Zhang: "Then why are there no records in the history of past dynasties or even unofficial histories?"

Professor Wang said: "I think there are records that there were several massacres during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and these burial pits may be related to one of them."

Professor Tang Biqing nodded: "What Lao Wang said makes sense. We should collect clues immediately to determine the identity of the victim."

"Yes, the excavation work must be carried out quickly. I will apply for the transfer of officers and soldiers stationed nearby to help. I hope that the ancient tomb can be opened as soon as possible to find out the identity of the tomb owner."

Director Zhang thought for a while and then continued: "By the way, the burial pit for tens of thousands of people is very sensitive. It is best not to let the media in until the truth of the matter is understood."

"Inform all staff at the site that taking photos, videos, and live broadcasts are prohibited from now on to prevent rumors and public opinion from getting out of control. Excavation work must be carried out in confidentiality."

I heard the director say this.

None of the experts on site had any opinions.

Xiao Yu was a little unhappy.
To be continued...
