Chapter 1018 The Ten Commandments of Moses

ps:  It’s the third update, I’ll ask for a few more monthly tickets, please support me.

"Things look quite old, and should have a history of more than two thousand years..."

Mr. Qian is experienced and very sensitive to the dynasty of some things. He can make a rough judgment without direct evidence. This intuition-like reaction is a conditioned reflex formed by Mr. Qian's research on antiques for decades and after a long period of training.

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were very envious of this skill and believed it even more. After all, it is not difficult to see things in different ages. Some of the great experts in the Forbidden City even smelled the eyes and did not look or touch them. Just smelled the breath of things and knew the details, which was magical.

"You just said that these parchments were from the 2nd and 3rd century AD?"

At the same time, Qian Lao laughed and said, "In this way, metal sheets are earlier than parchment, or parchment is like metal sheets, and belongs to something BC."

"Um."

Wang Guan nodded slightly and agreed with Mr. Qian's judgment.

"What a pity."

At this time, Mr. Qian smiled helplessly and said, "Now, you should understand the importance of learning another foreign language, right?"

"It doesn't matter, we don't understand, so please translate it." Wang Guan said nothing. Not to mention whether he could understand the above words after learning a foreign language, even if he understands it now, it would be a question whether he will have a chance to come in handy in the future.

While speaking, the sun outside the window shifted a little, and a ray of sunlight shone in slanted, and then projected onto the metal piece in Qian Lao's hand, and a faint light flashed.

“Huh?”

When Mr. Qian noticed it, he was naturally very strange. Then he moved his heart and moved the metal sheet under the sun. In an instant, a few stars that seemed to be twinkling appeared.

After a closer look, I saw that the stars were flashing, shining with words, shining brightly, and felt a bit brilliant.

“What’s the situation?”

At the right time, Yu Feibai, who was calling, also noticed this abnormality. He looked at the metal plate, but he didn't even know that the phone was on. He was tired because the other party called him several times, but he heard no echoes, and thought it was a prank and hung up directly.

"It seems to be something extraordinary."

It just happened to hang up. Yu Feibai put down the phone, looked at Mr. Qian, and then reached out to ask for the metal sheet.

Mr. Qian did not give it to him. Instead, he walked to the window, held the metal plate high up, and looked at it in the bright sunshine. In an instant, the light of the metal plate condensed, as if it could attract and swallow the sunshine, and then fed back into the words on the plate. For a moment, the words suddenly zoomed out with a brighter light.

Over time, the thin metal sheet seemed to become transparent and disappeared in everyone's eyes.

Of course, this is just an illusion, but in fact it is because the words are so bright that they attract everyone's minds and naturally ignore others. It is like focusing on one thing to watch, and the things next to them naturally become blurred.

No matter what, the things are really eye-catching and amazing.

It took a long time before everyone gradually woke up. At the same time, Yu Feibai couldn't help asking: "Old Qian, how can these words shine? Could it be that they are inlaid with gold and silver?"

"This is a dark carving, and there is no inlay of gold and silver." Qian Old Shaking his head gently: "However, it feels like some substance is applied in the inscribed characters, so it has such an effect."

"What was painted?"

At the right time, Yu Feibai speculated: "Fluorescent powder?"

"It's hard to say..." Mr. Qian pondered for a while and said uncertainly: "It needs to be tested and analyzed... and you should not underestimate the ancient Western world. You should know that the world is not only China belongs to the ancient country. Every nation must have mastered some special skills in the process of formation."

"As far as I know, some Western countries usually determine the type of characters when recording characters. Cuneiform characters are carved on stones with chisels, or written on clay plates with pointed pens. When trench paper and velvet paper appear, the writing tools are reed brushes and pen sharpeners, and the knife is used to sharpen brushes."

Qian Lao said happily: "As for the ink used in the cursive brush, it was caused by the lamp ash of the olive oil lamp, and later it was made of various metal powders. There were also some non-metallic inks that were difficult to analyze their composition until now, but the durability of writing is incredible. Even after thousands of years, it is still as clear as before."

"In contrast, engraving words on the metal plate and adding some special substances makes the words reflect a brilliant light in the sun. Although it is a bit strange, it is not uncommon."

While speaking, Mr. Qian was also a little surprised, and at the same time he turned around and said, "Feibai, have you called?"

"Uh...ah!"

Yu Feibai reacted and quickly called. At this time, Mr. Qian personally took the initiative, chatted with the other party for a few words, and invited the man to come and be a guest.

There is no doubt that the other party must have agreed. While Wang Guan and others were repeatedly studying metal sheets, the man rushed over, but he was a university professor and a language expert who specialized in Western Ming.

"Professor Shen."

At this time, Mr. Qian walked outside and smiled enthusiastically, "Welcome to be a guest."

"I've been disturbed."

Professor Shen also smiled. He was about fifty years old. Speaking of which, this age is the time when academic research is easiest to achieve results. After all, younger people are not enough to accumulate. If you add a few more years, your energy will be worse than before. Only between the ages of fifty and sixty is the golden age, and whether you can become a top student is here.

There is no doubt that Professor Shen is a top student, and his academic theories have been published in some professional academic journals at home and abroad. In the professional circle, he is a master-level existence. I don’t know how Mr. Qian and Professor Shen met him, but from their polite expressions, I know that they are ordinary friends.

So after a while of greetings and asking someone to sit down, I offered tea and greetings again, and then I got to the point. At the beginning, I definitely didn’t rush to take out the metal sheet, but brought out a pile of parchment paper for advice.

"This is some information bought from abroad."

At the right time, Mr. Qian smiled and said, "It is said that it is the Jewish Bible in the 2nd and 3rd century AD. It is written in the Hebrews, but we can't understand it, so we want you to help you take a look."

“Hebrews…”

When Professor Shen heard this, he was really interested and quickly picked up a piece of parchment paper and looked at it. After looking at it for a moment, he immediately nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed Hebrew."

After confirming, Professor Shen continued to read again, and then smiled and said, "Yes, this is the Jewish Bible. The content on this piece of parchment is the Exodus in the Pentateuch."

The Pentateuch is the first five classics in the Hebrew Bible, namely Genesis, Exodus, Lemma, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These are not only the religious classics of Judaism, but also the Hebrew law collection.

After the Jewish state was destroyed, the Jews became a wandering nation. After losing their country and territory, the reason why Jews were able to maintain national cohesion was probably inseparable from these classics.

This is a sense of identity, otherwise it would be impossible that the Jewish nation would have existed for more than two thousand years, and even successfully restored the country and established Israel.

There is also Hebrew. As the Jews wandered around the world, Hebrew perished for two thousand years, but after the founding of Israel, Hebrew was artificially resurrected. Today's Hebrew is in common with Hebrew two thousand years ago.

If time could go back to the age of David, the ancient Israelites, modern Israelites could understand the dialogue between people two thousand years ago, which is a unique miracle in the history of world languages.

The reason is that this is the power of transformation. Just like China, as long as China continues to be bright, even if the country becomes a ruin, it can still be rebuilt.

"And, this is a relatively old version." At the same time, Professor Shen was a little happy: "There are some letter pronunciations, which is the first time I have seen them, and they are of great research value."

While speaking, Professor Shen said embarrassedly: "Can you borrow me to print it?"

Everyone understood Professor Nong's joy when he saw Lie. Of course, Mr. Qian would not refuse, saying that not only Fu, but Yuan could also borrow him to study for a while.

Hearing this, Professor Shen was naturally even happier.

Seeing that the heat was coming, Mr. Qian took out the metal plate and smiled and said, "Professor Shen, look again, what are the contents of these inscribeds?"

"Um?"

Professor Shen was stunned and looked at the metal piece, and was surprised and said, "The Ten Commandments of Moses!"

Because the sunlight was shifting and did not shine into the hall again, the metal sheet was naturally very normal. Professor Shen did not see the strange phase in the metal characters, so it was easy to identify it.

"Ten Commandments of Moses?"

At this moment, when everyone heard the answer, they were slightly stunned and felt a little as expected.

Moses, who was the national leader of the Jews in the Bible around the thirteenth century BC. Not only Judaism, but also Christianity and Islam, recognized Moses as a great prophet.

According to the records of Exodus, Moses was ordered by the Lord to lead the enslaved Hebrews to flee from ancient Egypt and head to a rich promised land, which is the current Jerusalem area. Because of this allusion, Jerusalem became a holy city in the eyes of the three major religious people in the world.

As for the Ten Commandments of Moses, legend said that God personally conveyed to Moses to the top of Mount Sinai, which was God's warning to the Israelites. The Gods carved these words on the stone tablet and gave them to Moses. But later Moses saw that the people of his tribe did not obey these commandments, and in anger, he destroyed the stone tablet. God ordered Moses to make a new stone tablet, and after completion, he placed it in the ark.

In short, the Ten Commandments of Moses, as the basic code of conduct in the Bible, have been passed down and have far-reaching influence. It is the basis of all the legislation of the Israelites and can also be called the moral concept of the core of Western Ming.
