Chapter 852 837. A Pile of Bones (35)

Atulu held a piece of copper covered with green-brown patina in his hand, and the end of the copper piece was wrapped with two pieces of khaki-yellow things, like a handle.

Sergeant Smith didn't care to tease him anymore, took the copper piece and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that his discovery successfully aroused everyone's interest, Atulu cheered up: "The reason why I am panting is not because of running, but because of excitement, because of excitement!"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Very well, Atulu, you have done meritorious service. Where did you find this? Is it a weapon from a corpse? I think it's a copper knife. What do you think?"

Atulu shook his head and said, "No, this is not a copper knife, this is Kuisata!"

"What is Kuisata?" Wang Bo was taken aback.

Sergeant Smith helped him introduce: "This is the name in Maori, which can be translated as a war stick or a battle scepter, similar to the current military flag."

"In the early Maori tribal wars, this thing was often controlled by the warriors in the tribe, with the tribal totem flag tied to it, and the warriors held it and charged at the forefront during the battle."

Speaking of this, Sergeant Smith was amazed: "This is also the first time I have seen this thing with my own eyes, Atulu, is this really Kuisata?"

Atulu patted the two lumps of fat on his chest, swearing all over his face: "Absolutely, I swear to God Moli, this is Kuisata. Look at the handle, it's made of rhino horn."

Wang Bo was surprised: "Rhino horns? How can there be rhino horns in New Zealand?"

New Zealand is far from the mainland, and the surrounding islands are free of large predators.

Atulu shook his head to express that he didn't know either. Sergeant Smith said, "He's right. If this is Kuisata, the handle is made of rhino horn. As for where the Maori got the rhino horn at that time, there is no word on it." records, and become an unsolved mystery."

Wang Bo didn't know what Kuisata meant. When Ramon learned the identity of this thing, he immediately asked his assistants to lift the skeleton down again, and then cleaned it up and studied it carefully.

Soon, Ramon, holding a magnifying glass, called out: "Keep digging, the cause of this person's death was trauma, come, look at his left eye socket, there is a small scar, it's because a sharp arrow or something pierced into the eye and damaged the cerebellum traces of time."

Atulu explained to Wang Bo that Kuisata is similar to a battle flag for the Maori tribe. This thing is very important and cannot be lost. It is not usually displayed. Only when there is a war between tribes will the warrior hold the charge.

Now Kuisata is found under the skeleton. It is very likely that the owner of the skeleton is a tribal warrior. Let's speculate that there may have been a war here five or six hundred years ago.

Warriors have a very high status in the Maori tribe, and it is impossible for them to be abandoned in the wilderness after they die in battle. However, Kuisata is an important item of the tribe, and warriors will not be buried with it when they are buried.

Unless, a tragic war took place here, resulting in the extermination of one tribe or even the death of two tribes, this can reasonably explain the situation where Kuisata and the corpse of the warrior are together.

Kangli took people back to get the shovel and other tools, and more than a dozen people dispersed to dig. At first, there was no harvest. After more than half an hour, the surrounding land had been dug with pits and holes, and there was still no harvest...

Sergeant Smith held the shovel and said, "Perhaps our guess was wrong. This is not an ancient battlefield."

Ramon also smiled and said: "Yes, it is impossible for so many miracles to appear in the territory of Sunset Town. The gold mine already exists. If there is an ancient battlefield, it is really unbelievable."

Since there was no gain, Wang Bo shrugged and prepared to leave without forcing.

At this time, Atulu shouted: "I have found, I have found, dig a little deeper, come and see, there are some bones here!"

Wang Bo threw down the shovel and ran over to see that the big Maori man had done a great job this time. He was sweating profusely and dug a hole more than one meter deep. Some gray-brown dry bones appeared in the hole, which looked like humerus.

Around this pit, after a group of people dug carefully, two skeletons appeared and gathered together, one of which had broken several ribs, obviously suffered serious injuries before death.

In this way, the fact that there is an ancient battlefield nearby is almost certain, but because of the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life, the battlefield was buried deeply underground.

Five or six hundred years is too long, and the climate in the South Island is rainy and humid. Except for their bones, their clothes and weapons are almost rotten.

Wang Bo dug enthusiastically for a while, but he still didn't get anything here, so he became dull.

After the representative harvest, Ramon and the others had no interest in continuing to dig, and they left with Kuisata and four skeletons—Uncle Bing dug another one earlier.

They all underestimated the influence of ancient battlefields. New Zealand is a country without history. Although the Maori are not the mainstream of society, they have some history anyway.

Therefore, this country attaches great importance to the past of the Maori people. The reason why the white people finally reconciled with the Maori people is also the reason why they hope to integrate their history.

These bones and ancient battlefields were discovered in the morning. In the afternoon, the "Herald" got the news. Charlie's beautiful lover Britney called and said that he would come here to report the news immediately.

The next day, the New Zealand Institute of Archaeology and the Institute of History and Culture sent teams to the ancient battlefield for excavation.

The Green Party responded after receiving the news. The Alexander couple said they would come over to see the situation on the ancient battlefield and asked him to protect the scene.

Wang Bo asked the people around him strangely: "Why are Vajona and the others here? Do New Zealanders attach so much importance to history?"

"Of course, what New Zealanders like most is sports and pleasure, but what they look forward to most is history and culture."

Na Qingyang shook his head: "But Waqiaona and the others didn't come here for this purpose. They wanted the spotlight. It can be predicted that many reporters and media will come to Sunset Town in the next few days, which can bring them huge exposure. Rate."

On the second day, even though there were still warning signs of 'dangerous road conditions' on the side of Highway No. 8, many cars continued to drive along the road.

The people from the Archaeological Bureau and the Cultural Institute were the most anxious. They arrived in the morning, that is to say, they started last night. Wang Bo had to admire the enthusiasm of these people.

These people came to Sunset Town with professional tools. There were a lot of them pulled by large carts and small carts, and a small excavator was towed by a trailer.

After arriving at Sunset Town, they contacted Wang Bo, and then surrounded the area where the bones were released.

Wang Bo stopped them and said, "Why do you surround my land?"

A gray-haired old professor said: "Sir, there may be a glorious history hidden here, don't you want it to reappear in the public eye?"

Lao Wang smiled brightly: "What does this have to do with my town? I only care about my town being damaged by a storm."
