Chapter 268 The oldest text, Chinese characters! Cuneiform? Climb for me! (3)
"Dear guest, can you teach me about the Sumerian race?"
King Gilgamesh suddenly spoke,
Let Li Changbai teach bronze smelting techniques.
Li Changbai snorted coldly and said:
"Didn't you show off just now - this rice field?"
"What? Are you begging me now?"
Being exposed by Li Changbai, King Gilgamesh looked embarrassed.
"no,"
"Winemaking and bronzeware, I can only teach one of them."
Li Changbai shook his head and directly refused.
"Emperor of the East, can't we talk anymore?"
King Gilgamesh does not give up.
"Besides the intelligence of Atlantis and the Tower of Babel, what else can you attract me?"
Li Changbai glanced at King Gilgamesh and asked back.
"this...….…"
King Gilgamesh has a stick in his throat,
He really didn't know what could attract the Eastern Emperor in front of him.
gold?
Jade?
beauty?
There seems to be no shortage of mysterious emperors from the east?
King Gilgamesh frowned and his face was solemn.
Whether it is brewing technology,
or bronze smelting technology,
He wants it all.
Brew, to satisfy his appetite,
Bronze smelting technology was for Sumerian agriculture and military,
Either way,
Both are necessary to him, King Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh, I'm short on time, make a decision quickly!"
Li Changbai frowned and urged.
King Gilgamesh looked at the Eastern Emperor's non-negotiable look,
he sighed,
hesitated for a while,
He said slowly:
"Honorable Emperor of the East, I choose the brewing technique."
Li Changbai glanced at him and sneered in his heart.
"This King Gilgamesh is indeed a tyrant who only seeks pleasure!"
Li Changbai was too lazy to say more,
He called Zhou Shuyi and asked him to get sorghum seeds outside the city gate.
For this western expedition, Li Changbai made thorough preparations and brought all the basic grains.
Zhou Shuyi heard this, and rode the White Wolf King back to Eridu again,
After a while she returned holding a black clay pot.
Li Changbai opened the clay pot, and inside was half a high-waist pot.
Li Changbai handed the pot to King Gilgamesh, and said coldly:
"Sow sorghum seeds in dry land and harvest the sorghum in a few months."
King Gilgamesh took the sorghum seeds and asked curiously:
"Dry land? No paddy fields?"
Li Changbai gave him a white look, and said:
"Sorghum is a dryland crop and cannot survive in paddy fields.
King Gilgamesh suddenly realized.
"I'll write down the method of sorghum wine later..."
While talking, Li Changbai suddenly remembered something,
asked:
"King Gilgamesh, do you Sumerians have writing?"
Hearing this, King Gilgamesh smiled and replied:
"Yes, we Sumerians have cuneiform writing."
"Cuneiform?"
Hearing this, Ji Chang was stunned in the daytime.
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."
Li Changbai pondered.
then,
A sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind,
"Middle school history book!"
"The oldest writing in the world. Cuneiform!"
Li Changbai thought in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the writing of the Sumerian family would be the oldest cuneiform writing in the world.
"Write it for me."
Li Changbai looked at King Gilgamesh with increasing curiosity.
"Dear guest, the cuneiform characters of our Sumerian family are written on mud blocks with reed sticks."
King Gilgamesh did not hesitate, and ordered the maids to bring reeds,
After receiving the reed stick from the maid, King Gilgamesh wrote some cuneiform characters on the wet mud on the paddy field.
"It really is cuneiform!"
Li Changbai said in surprise.
The writing on the mud floor is similar to the cuneiform writing he saw in his junior high school history book, it is the same kind.
"This is... what kind of ghost symbol?"
At this time, Zhou Shuyi also saw the cuneiform characters drawn on the mud by the King of Sumer.
Zhou Shuyi didn't like reading when she was a child, and her history was poor,
It was normal for her not to recognize the cuneiform characters.
This doesn't look like a symbol, nor does it look like a weird thing like a word, it really looks like a ghostly drawing.
But even so, Zhou Shuyi brought the selfie stick closer to these ghost symbols and aimed the camera.
...asking for flowers...
"Brothers, help me find out what the hell this is?!"
Zhou Shuyi's voice came to the live broadcast room,
then,
The screen flickered in the live broadcast room, and the screen flickered,
The strange words written by King Gilgamesh with reed sticks on the mud appeared.
"Anchor, what is this?"
"Is this a word or a picture? Why can't I understand it!"
"This is harder to read than oracle bone inscriptions? Is this the Sumerian writing?"
The water friends in the live broadcast room were talking about it, but no one recognized this weird symbol that didn't look like a picture or a word.
"This is...…………"
Professor Gu Nian just looked up and saw this scene on the screen in the live broadcast room,
0
The symbols on the screen gave him a familiar feeling.
The ancient aura came across the surface, which surprised the old professor Gu Nian.
"This is cuneiform!"
The old professor Gu Nian said in surprise in the live broadcast room.
Ancient, what is cuneiform?"
In the live broadcast room, some water friends asked curiously.
"Cuneiform, the oldest language in the world, was born in the Sumerian civilization."
"The star map discovered by the British archaeologist Sitchin, the text on it is written in cuneiform.
"In addition, the Sumerian civilization king code discovered by the Yingjiang people even has the imprint of cuneiform characters.
"Cuneiform, to put it bluntly, lies in the "wedge shape". It was written by the Sumerians on clay tablets with reed sticks. It is the oldest written language in history."
Professor Gu Nian looked at the cuneiform characters written by King Gilgamesh on the screen, and said excitedly.
"Oldest writing?"
"Doesn't that mean that these 'cuneiform characters' are older than our Chinese oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions?"
"The oldest Chinese characters seem to be created by Cangjie, right? They seem to be symbols..."
"Have you forgotten the ancestor of the Yuanmou people? That was the primitive world million years ago. Our ancestor learned Chinese characters, and even wrote the "Longguo Neijing" and "Longguo Materia Medica" in Chinese characters. The book "Lianshanyi"!"
"That's right! Chinese characters are the oldest writing in the world, and cuneiform is nothing!".
