In 1926, on the Dragon Bone Mountain in Zhoukoudian, Yanjing, Chinese archaeologists found two fossilized teeth of early humans about 690,000 years ago, which caused a sensation in the Chinese archaeological community at that time.Then, the following year, in 1927, a large-scale excavation operation began on Keel Mountain.In 1929, the first relatively complete Peking Man skull fossil was found on Dragon Bone Mountain; The subsequent excavation work continued intermittently until 1936, and the excavation work, which lasted for seven years, unearthed a total of five relatively complete Peking Man skull fossils and about 200 other various bone fossils belonging to Peking Man.The discovery of the fossil skull of Peking Man is a major event in the history of paleoanthropological research in the world.So far, there is no ancient human site with such a large number of 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 the attention of the world's scientific community.Although "Peking Man" is not the earliest human, as a representative of the intermediate link from ape to man, it is called "the most meaningful and moving discovery in the entire history of ancient mankind", so the preciousness of the Peking Man skull fossil can be imagined.It is precisely because of this that the Peking Man skull fossil has aroused covetousness from all sides, and it can be said that no matter which country it is, it is hated to take these five precious skull fossils back to their own country.Not to mention the little devils who had already started the war of aggression against China at that time, and they tried their best to get their hands on these five precious skull fossils.But the Chinese archaeologists at that time were not fools, and they naturally tried their best to protect the fossil skull.But unfortunately, under the conditions at that time, the Chinese people could not afford to preserve such a precious fossil skull.In desperation, Chinese archaeologists led by Professor Jia Lanpo, known as the "father of Peking Man skull fossils", could only be forced to hide these five precious skull fossils in the Union Hospital, which was funded by the Americans at that time.At that time, although the little devil was boundless in China, he had not torn his face with the United States, so there was no way for the little devil to put these five precious skull fossils in Union Hospital.However, with the increasing tension between the United States and Japan, these fossil skulls are not very safe to put in Union Hospital, so after seeking Chang Kaishen's consent, the five Peking Man skull fossils were approved to be shipped to the United States for preservation.But people are not as good as heaven, and when these five Peking Man skull fossils were transferred according to the transfer plan, there was an unpredictable turn.At that time, the transfer plan was to be escorted by the U.S.
Marine Corps, take a special train from Peking to Qinhuangdao to Qinhuangdao to arrive at Qinhuangdao Port, and board a ship named "President Hudson", which was scheduled to arrive in Qinhuangdao on December 8, 1941.However, when the train arrived at Qinhuangdao on the morning of 8 December, the air raid on Pearl Harbor had already begun, and immediately afterward, the Japanese troops stationed in the Shanhaiguan area of Qinhuangdao suddenly attacked the US troops, and the trains and military personnel of the US Marine Corps, including the personnel of the Holmes Barracks in Qinhuangdao, became prisoners of the Japanese army in an instant, and the materials and luggage, including the "fossilized skull of Peking Man," of course, became trophies of the Japanese army, and they have disappeared since then, and until now, 77 years have passed.
The whereabouts of the Peking Man skull fossils have become a mystery, and countless people around the world who want to find these five Peking Man skull fossils have not been able to find the traces of these five skull fossils, even if Huaxia has used the power of the state to find them, there is still no way.Since the liberation, the Chinese people have not stopped the search for the fossil skull of Peking Man, and there is also a lot of news about the fossil skull of Peking Man, but whether the fossil skull is buried in the Temple of the Sun AD, or loaded on the wreck of the "Awa Maru", or the fossil is actually in the hands of the United States or himself, and other clues, it has finally been proved to be invalid clues.The Chinese people have been looking for 77 years, and there has been no news of these five extremely precious skull fossils.Therefore, many people believe that these five fossilized skulls have most likely been destroyed in the war.This statement has also been agreed by many people, after all, this is only five skulls that are no different from skeletons, and in that era, because of the evil work of the little devils, the most important thing in the land of China is the human skull, so these five Peking Man skull fossils are regarded as ordinary people's skulls and then buried or destroyed, which is actually a very normal thing.After all, at that time, whether it was the common people of China or the soldiers of the little devils, they would not be able to distinguish the difference between these five Peking Man skull fossils and real human skulls, and it was estimated that even if someone saw these five skull fossils, they would not have the mood to distinguish them.Therefore, the theory that these five fossilized skulls were destroyed in the war has actually been agreed by many people.Even Yang Jing himself, before seeing these four skull fossils, thought that the Peking Man skull fossils had actually been destroyed in the war a long time ago.As a result, I didn't expect to travel to forty years ago and find these four precious skull fossils in a corner of this secret base!
Yang Jing only felt that his hands were a little trembling.In fact, in terms of real value and the significance they represent, these four skull fossils cannot be compared with the heirloom jade seals that have been discovered, but these four skulls came so suddenly that Yang Jing was a little unbelievable.If it weren't for the fact that the answer given by the Holy Ring was indeed "Peking Man skull fossils", he really thought that these four skull fossils were imitations.It was precisely because this surprise came so suddenly that Yang Jing was even a little at a loss.After coming back to his senses a little, Yang Jing calmed down and analyzed why these four fossilized skulls appeared here.Actually, if you think about it.This question can also be thought through.Obviously, it must have been the little devil who snatched the five skull fossils from that special train, and then transported them to this secret base by unknown means.It's just that there may have been something wrong with the handover, and there may not have been anyone who specifically explained the importance of the five skull fossils, so the five Peking Man skull fossils were placed in this warehouse.Later, I don't know when, the little devil took away a skull fossil, of course, maybe it was four fossils when he pulled it over, anyway, Yang Jing can't explain why there is a missing skull fossil.But that doesn't matter, the important thing is that the little devil must have not noticed or forgotten the existence of these fossilized skulls in later years.And after all, this is a fossil of a human skull, even if the little devil came to transport something here later, it could not be the soldiers who transported this batch of skull fossils back then, and it will definitely change batch after batch.As a result, it turned out that there were human skulls in these boxes, and no one would think of these skulls as a good thing.The mistake is that these skulls are placed in a box in the warehouse of this base, otherwise if they were outside, these four skull fossils would have been thrown away by the little devils.No one wants to walk with a skull, and these ghost soldiers who came to carry supplies probably won't recognize this as a Peking Man skull fossil, and it will definitely be regarded as a normal person's skull, who wants to take this thing away, so these four Peking Man skull fossils appeared here.Of course, if I don't come this time, when this base is emptied for the last time, these four Peking Man skull fossils will either be taken out, or they will be destroyed by some ignorant little devil.Anyway, the last time he came to this base, Yang Jing didn't find the fossils of these four skulls.Now I suddenly found out that this surprise is really big enough.You must know that there have been many people who have ranked the lost treasures in China, that is, the national treasure-level cultural relics that have been lost in the history of China, and then ranked according to the meaning and value they represent.Among them, the first place is Dayu Jiuding, this ranking is undoubted, after all, this is the first set of symbols representing the country and royal power in the history of China for 5,000 years; In second place is the heirloom jade seal, and then there are the twelve golden men of Qin, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" authentic, the fifth is the original of the "Yongle Canon", the sixth is the bronze head of the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace, and the seventh is the fossil skull of Peking Man lost during World War II.For this ranking, Yang Jing does not recognize it very much, of course, the top three national treasures are absolutely fine, and any of the three sets of national treasures is more important than any of the later national treasures.It's just that Yang Jing thinks that the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" and the five Peking Man skull fossils should be equally important, and these two national treasures one represents the inheritance and summary of Chinese knowledge, and the other directly proves the origin of the Chinese people!
As for the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" and the bronze head of the Zodiac, that thing cannot be said to be precious, but in the words of the Holy Ring, these things are second-grade items at best.And whether it is the original of the tens of thousands of volumes of "Yongle Canon" found from Mu Tianbo's treasure before, or the four fossilized skulls of Peking Man that have just been identified, the holy ring has given this a super treasure, although it has not yet reached the level of a super treasure, but it is definitely half a super treasure.But that was Yang Jing's previous opinion, and now, when the four Peking Man skull fossils really appeared in front of him, Yang Jing immediately realized that his previous thoughts still seemed to be a little wrong.When Yang Jing saw these four Peking Man skull fossils with his own eyes, he realized in his heart that the importance of these four Peking Man skull fossils was even more important than any treasure he had found before.Even if he finds the real heirloom jade seal, even if he finds the imitation of Dayu Jiuding and Qin Twelve Golden People, even if he finds the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface", but in Yang Jing's heart, those things are not as important as these four Peking Man skull fossils!
It's very simple, the four Peking Man skull fossils in his hands were ancient humans earlier than the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the real ancestors of the Chinese people.If it is theoretically based on Confucianism, the status of these four Peking Man skull fossils is even higher than that of Dayu Jiuding and the jade seal of the country!
How?
Aren't the remains of our ancestors more important than these artifacts?
If you look at these four Peking Man skull fossils from this perspective, it is estimated that no one can refute Yang Jing's view.We Chinese people claim to be the descendants of Yan and Huang, but who can deny that even the legendary Yan Emperor and Emperor are not the descendants of the "Peking Ape Man"?
Of course, there are also ancient ape people such as Yuanmou people and Lantian people in Huaxia, but Beijing ape people are also real ancestors!
