Chapter 2068 Silk

Van der Watt's figure fell on the sarcophagus and breathed a sigh of relief. He was also a little nervous. The long snakes in the waterway also brought him some inexplicable pressure. If they really fell into it, it would be almost the same as falling into a pile of piranhas. Maybe before others could rescue him, his flesh and blood would be gnawed away.

While Van der Wat was checking how to open the sarcophagus, Wang Zan took out a candle according to the rules and came to the corner of the wall, lit it, and placed it against the wall and placed it on the ground.

The candlelight was blushing and it was burning vigorously.

"The sarcophagus has not been sealed. There is still some movement when I stepped on it. I guess I can move it away with my hands. Will the teacher open the puppet now?" Van der Wat turned around and asked.

"Be careful, tentatively move the stone slab away, put on a mask first and don't oxidize the bones in the coffin," Wenger nodded and reminded.

In China, people who open coffins in ancient tombs are cautious. Tomb robbers are mainly afraid of zombies. Although the probability of this is very small, they have to be careful. Legend has it that someone found mummies or even zombies in the coffin when stealing ancient tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is very likely that the person who opened the coffin was attacked on the spot.

Another thing is that if the body is buried and the coffin is sealed very deadly, the yin energy may accumulate part of it, and the consequences will be very serious if it rushes to the person.

The most serious thing is that if the corpse in the coffin has used antiseptic techniques or for some other reason, the corpse's mouth may have a mouthful of corpse gas. If the corpse gas is opened rashly, it would be unimaginable if it penetrates into the human mouth.

However, in foreign countries, the scientific expedition team like Wenger may consider a situation, and they are afraid that the gas exhaled by people will have an impact on the corpses and burial objects in the coffin.

After Van der Watt put on his mask and gloves, he planned to move the stone slab on the coffin away. At this time, Wang Zan, on the corner of the wall, suddenly realized that the candle fire that was still burning was extinguished without any warning. He was stunned and then frowned and looked around. The others were far away from here and had no spare money to meet the phoenix. There was no doubt that he had encountered the rules of the lieutenant's troupe.

The lights are out and don’t touch gold!

Since Wang Zan was not sure, after all, there were not many cases of this situation, so he changed a candle and lit it and placed it in the corner of the wall. At the same time, he folded his hands together and lowered his head and muttered: "Don't blame the tomb master, we understand the rules, let it go..."

Wang Zan stopped halfway through his mouth. He guessed that the distant Sumerians might not be able to understand his words. He immediately closed his mouth, but at the same time the candle was extinguished again with a "pop".

Wang Zan was a little stunned, turned his head suddenly and shouted at Van der Waal: "Don't move, don't drive!"

"Crill" Wang Zan's words, Van der Wat heard it, but I have to say it here. Wang Zan's spoken language is pretty good but the accent is a little heavy, so it fell into Van der Wat's ears. He didn't hear it very clearly and thought about it for a moment before he could understand what it meant. In this way, the rhythm would definitely be a beat slower than Wang Zan's call out. His subordinates were not slower, and the coffin board was pushed away by him, revealing one-third of the space.

Ye Huichen and Wenger both turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Wang Zan's tone suddenly stopped. How could he explain the rule that the rooster crowing lamp is out and not touching gold? Another thing is that it is obviously a little late to explain now. The coffin board has been pushed apart. He had to run over quickly and say, "Close it, hurry up, close the coffin!"

Van der Wat paused. Even though he didn't understand, he could hear the meaning from Wang Zan's hurrying tone and expression. Wenger did not respect Wang Zan's guidance very much this time, but frowned and said: "In the ancient tomb, in addition to the burial objects, the object of our research is the Sumerians themselves, especially those with particularly important identities. This information is very likely to be in the coffin. If we don't open it, we can't do research."

Wang Zan glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "I have my reasons but I can't explain it clearly for a while. Why not, open so many coffins first, wait and see, wait and see, if there is any problem, close it immediately. If nothing happens, will it be OK?"

Wenger pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, do what you said, by the way, didn't the Van delva slab have opened a gap? Can you see clearly the situation inside/"

"I'll try it." Van der Wat nodded, and the flashlight in his hand shone over, and a strong light fell into the coffin.

Wang Zan was stunned and sighed with his forehead covering his head. He had no time to give some advice. There was a barrier to communication in language, so he had to be slower.

When Van der Watt was in the coffin, for a moment he didn't see clearly what was going on inside the coffin. It took a few seconds before he could see clearly.

There was something like a mummy lying in the coffin, but it was slightly different. Generally, mummies in the pyramids were treated with anti-corrosion measures and wrapped with white cloth. However, the mummy in the coffin was wrapped in not white cloth, but silk.

These silks are still well preserved and have not been broken because of too long. The body is wrapped tightly, without any gaps exposed, so it is impossible to see whether it is a male or female corpse.

When Van der Wat described this scene to Wenger and others, they all shook their heads incredibly, thinking that this was impossible, because the demise of the Sumerians was more than 5,000 years ago, but the appearance of silk was a little later, and it was still in our country that it was impossible to run to the Mesopotamian Plain thousands of kilometers away.

But regarding this, Wang Zan said: "In fact, silk first appeared. There was a saying before that the Qingtai site was 5,500 years ago, and there were also silk fragments in the Hemudu site, which may have been earlier."

Wang Zan's statement is not a fabrication, but a true fact, so the origin of silk has been pushing forward, and it can basically be confirmed to be 5,500 years.

If that is the case, silk can be found in the birthplace of the Sumerian civilization, it is likely to show a problem: The Sumerians really came from the inland areas of our country.
