210. Archaeological Notes

"Lost civilization?"

Aoye murmured this word.

I didn't care too much at the beginning.

As we all know, Japan is a country that likes to exaggerate.

To put it nicely, it is called Zhong Er, similar to "a beautiful girl once in a thousand years" and "the worst event in history!"

To put it bluntly, it is a relatively distorted concept formed due to the history and current situation of Japan's small country and few people.

During that period of the bubble economy, I had just gotten rid of the influence of the US economy and witnessed the glorious economy collapse like a bubble, and the Japanese people fell into confusion and lack of confidence.

At that time, they were even more interested in discovering some ancient traces in history.

The value of archaeology lies in the fact that it can prove which country something originated from.

Or maybe it was the first time a country had something.

In the view of Japan at that time, every new discovery could enhance the nation's self-confidence and build cultural confidence.

For this reason, there was also an extremely bad archaeological fraud incident in Japan.

An archaeologist named Shinichi Fujimura was once known as the "God of Stone Tools" by the Japanese people. He dug out the so-called "stone tools 700,000 years ago" and traced the ancient history of the Japanese country back to 700,000 years ago.

You can imagine how excited the Japanese people were at that time.

He almost brought Shinichi Fujimura to the altar, and the most exaggerated thing is that he also wrote these contents into textbooks.

However, once the scandal of fraud was exposed, these things disappeared like smoke and clouds.

What he lost is not just his face, but the face of the entire Japanese archaeological world!

No matter how ridiculous it is, modern Chinese countries have actually taken a similar path.

But then again, Japan is much worse than China in terms of history, and there is no comparison at all!

In ancient times, Japan was even a vassal state of China.

Many cultures were passed down from China.

Besides, it’s just a little bit big. In the eyes of China, there is not much difference between fighting with several villages. How deep is history?

Having said so much, it means to show that-

Aoye does not trust the natural Japanese archaeological community.

And the so-called "lost civilization" sounds very unrealistic.

Japan is not big, and its history is even shorter. Where can there be any so-called other civilizations?

It should be known that the word "civilization" is very big.

It does not mean that a branch of a race can be called a civilization, but requires a certain culture, living standard, and a certain number of people to be called "civilization".

In Aoye, this is probably because Japanese archaeologists have committed another urinary sexual intercourse.

Exaggerate.

I don’t know how much moisture there is!

With this idea, Aoye continued to browse the record of this converted picture on his mobile phone.

The reason why it is called "record" rather than "academic reports" is because those archaeologists were writing it.

Instead of using the format of academic reports, it is closer to writing diaries.

【November 1, 2010】

【Weather: cloudy to light rain】

【This is the first day we came to Nagoya Moriyama District, Aichi Prefecture. Nakagawa and I both felt that the weather was a little cold. Kamokun was still a young man, but it was not cold at all.】

【It's so good to be young!】

【As for Miss Maruyama, she is a little cold and doesn’t look easy to get along with.】

[However, since the four of us have come here with like-mindedness, we can also be called "partners". Let's take a photo together here.]

Then came a photo taken, with a total of four people in the photo.

Two middle-aged people who look ordinary shoulder to shoulder should be the "me" and "Nakagawa Jun" in the record.

There was also a pretty handsome young man standing beside him, wearing a handsome and handsome windbreaker.

His expression was quite ostentatious.

In one corner of the photo, there is a slender woman's silhouette, wrapped in a thick scarf, her face buried in the scarf, and she can only see a pair of bright eyes behind the frame.

The lower body is covered with thickened pantyhose, which doesn’t look like a woman who loves beauty very much.

As can be seen from their clothes and dates, it should have just begun winter and the weather turned cold.

The background is an ordinary homestay.

‘This is just a diary!’

Aoye continued to complain in his heart, but he patiently pulled down.

【November 2, 2010】

【Weather: Light Rain】

[It's really uncomfortable to be wet on rainy days. Fortunately, the raindrops are not very big and it has not affected our plans.]

[According to the introduction of locals, when the mountain area was not yet developed for a long time, people believed in a mountain god called "Sacrificial Cicada".]

【Why is it called "Sacrificial Cicada"?】

【How can I know this?】

[It's just that pronunciation is very strange, and it's just this word that can be transliterated. For example, Izenaki is called Izenaki and Izenami is called Izenami. Who knows why they are called that? The name itself does not have much meaning.]

[I think it is similar to the gods believed in other parts of Japan. They are all species of mountain goblins, right?]

[This is not the first time we have investigated these related contents - if we hadn't firmly believed that the existence of this mountain might shake the whole country, we would not have come here together.]

[In the past fifty years, some strange cultural relics have been discovered here one after another.]

[What's funny is that some of them exist in museums in Eagle Country and M Country, rather than in their own collections. Fortunately, Miss Maruyama is generous and generous, and she shared the relevant information with us before. The embarrassing thing is that I didn't know that she was a lady at that time! Her words were too hasty and direct, and I hope she didn't care.]

At the end of this passage, several blurry pictures are attached.

It should be the consequence of multiple reprints.

First of all, there is an English document, which is thoughtfully translated in Japanese next to it - this is the commentary of the Nagoya Rangers.

Aoye has already taken the time to learn various foreign languages, such as English, French, Latin and other relatively large languages, and has also obtained the trait of [Foreign Language Proficiency].

Although it was useless to him.

But in this case, it can still be done without the help of translation.

The literature points out that this was an item obtained by a Japanese villager in 1883.

In the eyes of the villagers, this did not seem to be an important object, and it was easily obtained after paying a certain amount of compensation.

A picture of the artifact is next to it.

It was a very old piece of leather that looked like a so-called "skin scroll", but it was not sure what material it was or what processing technology it was made of.

It is about thirty centimeters wide and more than forty centimeters long.

What is really eye-catching is not the leather itself, but the peculiar graphics depicted on it.

It seems like some kind of dirty pigment is applied to the center, and at first glance it looks like original text such as oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, etc.

The briefness made Aoye's eyes dazzled.

"Ding Dong!"

Aoye raised his head.

"Hello, dear passenger, the arrival station ahead is Nagoya Station."

"Please bring your carry-on luggage..."
