Seeing Shen Hong and Mr. Song taking a deep breath to adjust their breathing, Su Jing couldn't help but feel a little funny. After a while, Mr. Shen Hongsong, whose breathing returned to steady, said slowly: "Okay, open it." They comforted themselves in their hearts. Even Su Jing couldn't have endless treasures. Besides, the best I have seen Tai Sui and Tian Huangshi, so what else can be exciting
Su Jing slowly opened the box. Shen Hong and Song Lao looked down and couldn't help but be stunned. At first glance, it looked like an oval stone, gray-white, with cracks on it. It seemed to be nothing special. At that moment, the two elders were very surprised. Su Jing actually ranked such a stone in the same position as Tai Sui and Tian Huang. Didn't you make a mistake
Mr. Shen Hongsong carefully moved the "stone" out, and then he saw the whole stone. After observing carefully for a moment, Mr. Shen Hongsong gradually widened his eyes, his breathing suddenly stopped, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Shen Hong's lips trembled: "This... this is an imitation, right?"
Mr. Song said: "It must be an imitation, it can't be real, but the workmanship is so exquisite that we were almost deceived."
Shen Hong looked relieved and laughed: "It really shocked me, I almost believed it."
Su Jing smiled faintly: "From your looks, I know that I didn't make a mistake. However, who told you that this is an imitation. Take a closer look to see if it is the real thing or an imitation. .”
Both Shen Hong and Mr. Song's expressions changed slightly. They looked at it in disbelief and carefully observed the "stone" again. They also took out a magnifying glass and other tools to take a closer look. The more they looked at it, the less calm they became, and their breathing became faster.
Shen Hong still couldn't believe it: "Impossible, how is this possible?"
Mr. Song's face turned red with excitement: "Su...Mr. Su, do you want to say that this is really the skull fossil of Peking Man?"
This "stone" does indeed look like a fossil. Looking at the whole picture, it can be seen that it is a skull. It is similar to the human skull, but it is obviously different. The outline is obviously biased towards the ape-man. This is an ape-man skull.
In the winter of 1929, archaeologists began digging in Zhoukoudian and discovered some complete ape-man skulls from about 600,000 years ago. They named them Peking Man, also called Peking Man skulls. Later, they were officially named "Chinese ape-man Peking species". Today, It is often called "Peking Homo erectus" in science and belongs to the Paleolithic Age. In 1941, the Pekingese skull was handed over to the U.S. Marine Corps who were about to leave Beijing and retreat to the United States. On December 5 of the same year, the unit took a train to Qinhuangdao. However, due to the subsequent outbreak of the Pearl Harbor Incident, the Japanese army captured American soldiers in Beijing, Tianjin and other places, and the whereabouts of the Beijinger's skull have been unknown since then.
The discovery of Peking Man sites and fossils is a major event in the history of world paleoanthropology research. So far, no ancient human site has so many ancient humans, ancient cultures, ancient animal fossils and other materials as the Zhoukoudian Peking Man site. The Peking Man fossil has become a rare treasure that has attracted much attention from the world's scientific community. Although "Peking Man" is not the earliest human being, as a representative of the intermediate link from apes to humans, it is called "the most meaningful and touching discovery in the entire history of ancient humans." Therefore, the "Peking Man skull" is precious. Just imagine.
However, precisely because of this, it has also become the object of covetousness by some speculators and imperialists. The five Peking Man skulls and a batch of fossils unearthed by Pei Wenzhong were strangely "missing" during the Anti-Japanese War. This incident became a theft case that shocked the world. Since the 1950s, people have continued to search; infuriatingly, so far, no results have been found.
However, in front of her, such an ape-man skull that looked like a real fossil, Su Jing actually said that it was genuine, a real Peking Man skull? How do Mr. Song and Shen Hong accept this? Compared to this, Tai Sui and Tian Huang in front are nothing.
Su Jing touched her nose and said: "I only know that this should be a real fossil, but I'm not sure whether it is a Pekingese skull. You are the treasure appraisal experts." Su Jing actually played a word game. The skull was actually dug out from the time and space of "Zhu Xian" a few days ago. It is undoubtedly the skull fossil of an ape-man. Humans in the time and space of "Zhu Xian" should have also evolved from ape-men. However, this is definitely not the "Peking Man skull" defined by the earth. But it is an ape-man skull from another time and space.
On earth, ape-man skulls are of great significance and therefore extremely precious. However, in the time and space of "Zhu Xian", not many people are interested in this. Even if they want to do archeology, they still study the lost mythical beasts, monsters, heavenly books, the treasure house of the emperor, etc. There are infinite legends there. Who is in the mood to study them? What kind of ape-man skull? Maybe someone picked it up out of boredom and used it as a decoration, but later found it boring and threw it away.
In fact, Su Jing couldn't believe it at first, so she scraped off some powder and took it to Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo for testing. They found out that it was indeed a fossil from 600,000 years ago. However, this skull has not yet been shown to Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo. Since Mr. Song and Shen Hong are here today, I would like to give them a slap in the face. I didn't expect them to be more excited than me.
"I don't believe it. This must be a counterfeit, using technology we can't see." Shen Hong shook his head.
"I can't believe it either. Where did Mr. Su get it?" Mr. Song asked.
"I got it by chance. If this is true, what do you think will happen if it is taken to the auction house?" Su Jing asked.
"If it is true, then it must not be sold and must be turned over. Firstly, this thing is a national cultural relic. If you dare to sell it, you will definitely get into countless troubles; secondly, as a member of the motherland, you have the obligation to turn this thing over Turn it over and forget it as any other ordinary treasure. If this skull is sold, spread abroad, or damaged, it will be a sinner for the ages." Shen Hong said, and Mr. Song also nodded.
"Haha, I'm just talking, I won't really sell it." Su Jing smiled. He had actually considered this issue. Listening to the tone of Mr. Song and Shen Hong, it was indeed quite serious. I'm afraid this skull is really serious. You can't sell it, otherwise it will be very troublesome. In fact, Su Jing didn't mind handing over the skull as a contribution to the country. However, before turning it over, he wanted to use the skull to promote the auction house.
"However, this skull can't be real. Have you tested it?" Mr. Song and Shen Hong still didn't believe it.
"I took some powder and went to the Archaeological Research Institute for testing. It is indeed a fossil from 600,000 years ago." Su Jing said. These words made Mr. Song and Shen Hong almost faint. In other words, this fast and real thing in front of them Is it a Pekingese skull? crazy! It's crazy!
