Chapter 2059 An inexplicable wind
Wenger frowned a little when he heard Wang Zan's words. Although he was surprised that Wang Zan's handling of the necromancer incident had exceeded their knowledge, on academic issues, he felt that his major was very good, so he shook his head and said, "What central axis do you think the Sumerian palace was built on? From here, you can enter the interior of the palace? I think this is the construction style of your Forbidden City, but it should have nothing to do with it. You must know that the two may be five thousand years or more apart."
Wang Zan said confidently: "I don't know what the Sumerians think, nor how they built their own palaces, but I know one thing is that as an emperor, what they like for all things is just a few points, centered, vast, high, and the sky, because this is the symbol of their rights. So when you understand the emperor's mind, you know that all the monarchs in the world are almost all common in this regard."
Wenger, Van der Waal and Ye Huichen thought for a long time. This sentence sounds very simple, but if you have to face it, it makes sense.
"In our country, Feng Shui theory has been very famous from ancient times to the present. From small homes to emperors' palaces, they basically contain Feng Shui factors. I didn't know whether Sumerians understood Feng Shui or not. However, when I arrived on this plain, I could see that they may not understand what Feng Shui is, but they must have research on the mathematics of heaven and earth. You can understand it as it is called taking advantage of the situation. To put it bluntly, they will also consider the impact of environmental factors on themselves."
"Sumer is very particular about astronomy, geography and mathematics." At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties suddenly spoke. Wang Zan looked at her and heard Ye Huichen mention that this person was named Barcelili, and the team was responsible for the study of Wenhua in the Mesopotamian Plain.
Wang Zan nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the east direction and said, "There is only a high mountain in the entire plain. You can calculate it. Looking from us, if a line is drawn in the middle of the mountain, it is exactly where we are standing. Whether it is a yin house or a yang house, we will focus on building by mountains and rivers. This is commonly known as a backer. For emperors, only by relying on the country can the country be stable. Then, when I look at the opposite west, there is a lake there before. This is called a bright hall, which means that the future is clear. Normally, the left
There should be a clamp on the right side, but because of the terrain of this plain, both sides are very flat and spacious. But you can also see that the terrain on both sides is going downward and extending out. If you look at it from another angle, it is to guard the place where we are standing. Combined with the lake in the west, there is a saying called Panlong sending the sky dew, which means to draw the water level source to nourish the place of the palace. Because if this naturally formed lake has no tributaries to be sent into the lake, the source of the lake is rainwater from the sky, and this is also called rootless water, which is a very sacred metaphor..."
Wang Zan's endless remarks made the Wenger team members confused. In addition, there were many words that Ye Huichen had to consider when translating, so when he finished speaking, these people understood the general meaning, but they didn't understand the essence and other things.
But they still understood one thing, that is, Wang Zan explained so much, and said the same thing. If you want to enter the Sumerian Palace, it is most appropriate to enter from here. Yesterday he said that many corpses were buried around the palace and the undead formed was to guard the palace.
Wenger, Van der Waal and Balselli whispered for a few minutes, and decided to overturn the previous plan according to Wang Zan's wishes and make a hole to dig here.
Wenger ordered, and many people came over with tools. Wang Zan pointed a place and signaled that they could start work.
Ye Huichen suddenly said in Wang Zan's ear: "We have also studied the lake you mentioned before. It was called a holy lake by the Sumerians. Many of their sacrificial activities would be held by the lake, and even a live sacrifice ceremony would be held. Later, the Sumerian Dynasty was destroyed. There were traces of human activities on the plains in the future, and this lake would be worshipped, and then it continued to the present. There are two villages nearby, all of which have lived here for generations. They also regard it as a holy lake for worship."
Wang Zan was stunned for a moment, and also thought that when he was driving through the lake two days ago, he did see two local men worshiping there. At that time, he didn't think much about it, just thought it was a local custom.
"Is there any statement about this lake?" Wang Zan asked.
Ye Huichen said: "They said that it was the place where the gods lived, but religion did not occupy a strong color among the Sumerians. It was just a ritual during prayer for good weather and sacrificial activities. The Sumerians paid the most attention to the royal power, which means that the king was their real gods and the highest existence."
"The best way to fool the ancient emperors into winning people's hearts..." Wang Zan nodded and said.
While the two were talking, suddenly there were "scumbling" sounds from behind them. Then they saw the people dug in the team quickly retreating backwards. In front of the crowd, a hole with a diameter of about two meters appeared, and the surrounding soil and sand were constantly pouring backwards.
Wenger hurriedly signaled that everyone would retreat. Although there would be no quicksand nests in the Gobi Desert here, people would have to be buried alive until they died after falling into it, but if there was a vacuum below, it would probably be quite dangerous if the person fell in.
The backflow of sand and gravel and soil continued for three or five minutes and gradually stopped, but the hole was not filled with black inside, and a trace of cool breeze gushed out from below. After the surroundings, you could still vaguely smell a damp and rotten smell.
Van der Wat said incrediblely: "This is impossible. The palace is sealed even underneath. How could there be a wind blowing over?"
