Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 257 Closing
Because Liang En himself is a scholar and one of the earliest discoverers of this ancient tomb, and he is of Chinese origin, he will be mainly in charge of communicating with the filming team from Huaxia. .

As a Chinese who has not been westernized very much, the common language between the two sides made the process of communication between Liang En and these filming teams from China very smooth.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang En communicated with the porcelain expert in the filming team and learned about Huaxia porcelain from him.

Of course, the possibility of becoming a professional in such a short period of time naturally does not exist, but it is not too difficult to complete literacy in this area when both parties are professionals.

Especially after the expert checked it for the first time, he used detailed evidence to prove that this Ding kiln porcelain box was made in the Tang Xianzong period, so he is a real expert, not a brick maker.

"I have a question." After the day's explanation was over, Liang En raised a question that he had never been able to figure out before. "If I remember correctly, Tang Xianzong's period should be a chaotic period in Chinese history, but this porcelain box does not seem to be of low quality—"

"You want to ask why such high-quality porcelain was produced during the chaotic period? The reason is also very simple. It is precisely because of the chaos that these things need to be produced to increase the wealth of the region." The scholar surnamed Wang explained seriously road.

"According to the deposits found in our Ding kiln site, this kiln site began to be fired in the late Tang Dynasty. The products produced are not only found in the whole of the north, but even in the southern celadon-dominated areas. Discover."

"In the south, where the late Tang Ding kiln porcelain was discovered, there was Yangcheng, the largest foreign trade port in the entire land of China at that time. And now you have discovered that this porcelain box probably flowed out from there."

"In other words, this cup probably crossed the Strait of Malacca along the coastline, then bypassed the Indian Peninsula, and arrived at Basra, an important port in the Middle East at that time." Liang En deduced this route in his mind.

"Then follow the ancient trade routes through Mesopotamia and Anatolia to Constantinople, the greatest and largest city in Europe at that time."

"At that time, there were many Vikings living in Constantinople, some of them were Varangian guards, and the other part were mainly some merchants who went there to do business, but no matter what occupation they were engaged in, they were not poor, Naturally, there is money to buy this kind of luxury from China."

Although the porcelain box from Ding Kiln would be regarded as a good-quality daily necessities at most in Huaxia at that time, but after going through a long journey, this thing has naturally been upgraded to a luxury item.

"You are right. Although we may never know what kind of journey this box has gone through, this inference should be the closest to the real situation." Mr. Wang nodded in approval. "The filming team has decided to use this cemetery as an important part of the documentary to prove the importance of the Silk Road in the communication between East and West in history."

While the filming team was filming, a series of related incidents followed.For example, as the news became public, the media began to gradually follow up and broadcast it.

At the same time, the National Museum of Ireland also announced a joint research with the Chinese side on this oriental-related cemetery, and the main content of the research is about the commercial roads that spanned the entire Eurasian continent in the Middle Ages.

Obviously, the impact of this discovery has spread beyond the scope of the archaeological and historical circles to the people, and has induced a wave of Silk Road fever and Viking fever.

Especially because the wave of Vinland, the American colony that discovered the Vikings before, has not yet subsided. This time, the wave of discovering the cemetery of the Viking female warriors has once again swept across Europe.

In addition, the discovery of this cemetery has great historical value besides the porcelain from China. For example, as the second Viking female warrior cemetery discovered in Europe, it proves that female warriors are not among the Vikings. Some kind of example.

Obviously, the existence of ancient female warriors is very in line with today's equal rights thinking and zzzq, so this discovery was naturally spread by many people and brought a boom.

For example, Ubisoft published an article on Twitter to express its contribution to equal rights, and used a Viking female warrior character as a picture.

Because the main part of the excavation work has been completed, and there are many nearby news organizations and even self-media staff who always want to come to the site for interviews, making the site a bit noisy, so Liang En left here.

Of course, this does not mean that he has ended this work, because digging out those things does not mean the end of the excavation work, but the beginning of the research.

Although Liang En didn't need to follow up the work, as a communicator between Ireland and China, he still had some finishing work to do in Dublin for a while.

"Thank you very much for your help, allowing us to have such a harvest here." When things were almost busy in mid-January, the filming team specially invited Liang En to a meal, and expressed their respect for him during the meal. Thanks.

"It's nothing, since I have encountered this kind of thing, I can help, and I have learned a lot from Mr. Wang, do you have knowledge about ceramic identification?" Liang En said with a smile.

This cooperation is very meaningful both for him and for Huaxia's film crew. The film crew got the first-hand information they wanted, and Liang En went smoothly in addition to learning some knowledge. He sold a favor to Huaxia.

And this kindness soon took effect. At the end of the whole banquet, Mr. Wang, who was an expert with the team, sent an invitation to Liang En, asking him to go to Huaxia when he had time in the future, and communicate with those colleagues one time.

It is not particularly strange to receive such an invitation. After all, Liang En is the first scholar in the world who has deciphered the ancient Egyptian script. At the same time, he has also mastered a large number of ancient scripts in Central Asia. unique advantage.

But then again, the number of archaeologists with two brushes in all aspects is not small.Whether you can get an invitation naturally has many external factors.

For example, if you accept an invitation from a non-national country to conduct a scientific expedition, the country that sent the invitation will naturally choose someone who is more friendly to the country among the candidate invitees.

Apart from the favors from Huaxia and the National Museum of Ireland, Liang En's biggest gain from this archaeological activity was the 10000 euros that Old Mike gave him.

The National Museum of Ireland, as the acquirer, gave Old Mike 100000 euros as a reward, because although the historical value of the things inside is relatively high, the economic value is relatively average.

However, for an ordinary farmer, it is very happy to be able to obtain 10 euros at a time. Under normal circumstances, the working capital of the entire farm may be less than 1 euros.

In consideration of Liang En's previous contributions, Old Mike took out 1/10 and gave it to Liang En as his thank you this time, to thank Liang En for helping him win this huge fortune.
