Chapter 668 The Ancient Altar!

The space here is more secretive than the location of the ancient city of Gutongjing. It is estimated that it has not been discovered by others for at least hundreds of years. .

Hu Ming is the only one in the huge underground space. Hu Ming is not particular at all. He just takes off his wet clothes and throws them aside. He is skilled and bold, and does not need other protection. He looks around with his bare chest.

Rough and desolate.

This is Hu Ming's first impression of this place.

In the huge underground closed space, 99% of the space is desolate, and there is no trace of human activities.

The only thing is an altar in the center!!!

Obviously, this is a sacrificial site for ancient ancestors, but even though Hu Ming is knowledgeable, he can't tell which god is being worshipped on the altar.

Judging from the carving marks on the altar and the statue, this style is not the style of Gutongjing at all, but a more ancient style.

The human figure of the statue is very forced, and the workmanship is very rough. It can only be barely distinguished that this thing is a human-shaped statue.

What surprised Hu Ming even more was that from the orientation of the altar, it could be judged that the statue was facing away from the people!

"What the hell is this? Is this the Wu Shi Great Emperor written by a certain Dong?"

Hu Ming's mouth twitched, and he was a little confused, and he circled around the statue.

"A faceless statue?"

Hu Ming frowned.

The so-called gods are generally the great existences that hold the power of heaven and earth, which were imagined by the ancient ancestors who could not understand natural disasters and feared death.

Generally speaking, when a certain god becomes the consensus of the ancestors, the ancestors will always construct the face of the god.

It may be oppression, or kind-hearted, or compassionate, or fierce and evil.

In short, the face of the statue is often consistent with the concept entrusted by the ancestors on the robe.

But, a faceless statue?

What exactly were the ancestors who used to be here worshipping?

Besides, there is another point that Hu Ming is a little concerned about.

From the traces of sacrifice left on the altar, it can be concluded that the history of this place is extremely long.

The remains of some livestock used in the sacrifice actually show signs of becoming fossils!!!

You know, it takes a very long time for some animal bones to become fossils, so long that it makes everyone doubt their lives, that is, it takes at least 10,000 years!

In other words, the sacrificial activities here began at least 10,000 years ago!

You know, the so-called sacrifice is also a manifestation of civilization activities.

And the so-called civilization...

According to the research of the historical community in the past, it is generally recognized that the earliest civilization activities in the land of China were formed about 5,000 years ago.

The ancient creatures in the gate also confirmed this.

Of course, if we are more rigorous and regard the emergence of Chinese characters as the origin of civilization, then we can probably push it back thousands of years.

But. The signs of existence here show that the sacrificial activities that took place here were at least 7,000 to 8,000 years ago, or even older!!!

"Damn! 7,000 to 8,000 years ago? Look at the bones that are about to become fossils, it must be more than 10,000 years.

Isn't it that the human species on this land of China has just entered the Neolithic Age?"

Hu Ming's eyelids jumped, and he felt that he seemed to have accidentally unearthed a huge secret!!!

Hu Ming even found some ancient carvings on the altar that were almost weathered to the point of being unclear.

These carvings are obviously not randomly carved. Although they are simple and ancient, they are beyond Hu Ming's cognitive scope.

But this does not affect Hu Ming's simple judgment. This is a simple text!

This point..is in conflict with the time of the earliest text discovered by the archaeological community.

"In other words, in the era when the creatures in the gate existed for a longer time, in that lost era that can no longer be trusted, there are still some ancient civilizations that cannot be investigated?"

If the discovery here is revealed, there is no doubt that this must be an amazing discovery that shocks the world.

Unfortunately...

Hu Ming came here not to do archaeological and historical research activities that are in line with his identity as an archaeology professor and historian, but...

However, Hu Ming still intends to minimize the damage to the ruins, prepare the relevant information here, and then hand it over honestly!

Hu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he put aside his doubts about the faceless god, squatted down, and rubbed his hands on the faceless god.

Sure enough!

Hu Ming found a...obscure mechanism on the altar!

"Mechanism? Damn, did this thing exist in the Neolithic Age ten thousand years ago?"

"Besides, it's been thousands of years, what kind of mechanism can operate for such a long time? You, you can't really believe what some nonsense people say, is it left by aliens?"

Hu Ming took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart, smashed the hard dust layer that had almost accumulated into rock, and pressed it hard...

After a few minutes, there was still no movement.

This is natural, Hu Ming is not surprised.

If it really can still work after 10,000 years... Hu Ming, the master of mechanical devices, will really doubt his life.

Check the correct version on the 16-9 book forum!

Hu Ming flipped his wrist and the sword appeared in his hand. He apologized to the faceless statue in his heart, and the indestructible sword had already sunk into the altar.

Holding the knife in both hands, he drew a circle the size of a person, and with a little effort, he picked out a standard round stone slab.

Below, there was a dark and narrow dark compartment.

A strong flashlight shone the light in, and it was empty inside, with only a black stone slab lying quietly in it.

It was neatly engraved with ancient characters, in the same style and system as the characters on the altar.

Hu Ming fished the stone slab out, looked at it carefully, and frowned.

The characters that appeared in this space looked a bit like the oracle bones unearthed in the Celestial Empire, but they were more rough and ancient, a kind of pictographic writing that was so old that no one knew it.

Oracle bones appeared around the Shang Dynasty, and it has a history of about 3,600 years.

The characters that appeared here are somewhat similar to oracle bones, but they are even more ancient, making it difficult for people to let go.

Hu Ming first found a camera in the system space to take pictures and record videos!

Hu Ming then spent a whole day searching in this space, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.

In addition, there are no traces of human intervention, and there are no secret rooms hidden in the dark.

"A simple guess is that for the human tribe at that time, this should be a very secret, unknown or unwanted small-scale sacrificial activity."

"The so-called sacrifice to the gods, except for devout believers such as fanatics, the rest of the sacrifices are nothing more than asking for something from the gods."

"But the faceless gods... After all, the ancestors of that ancient era did not have the consciousness to create faces for the gods, and..."

After replenishing food and water, Hu Ming sat cross-legged under the statue, leaning against the statue, playing with the black stone slab in his hands, muttering to himself.

"So..."
