Chapter 1040

"What? Reinforced concrete? " "Mo Ling wild goose eyes stare mouth to stay," this also too funny? Reinforced concrete was invented only in the 19th century. Where did reinforced concrete come from thousands of years ago? Did you go through it? "

Mike's face in the rear showed a very embarrassed expression. He also knew the news. After the exposure of the reinforced concrete Stonehenge at that time, all the media that hyped the ancient relics thousands of years ago were silent, and the original archaeological team became dead.

At that time, Western archaeology was in a state of embarrassment. After all, everyone knew that it was fraud and exposure. That time was also a big scandal in Western archaeology.

Mu Qin's face was very ugly. He clenched his fist and said nothing.

Li Yifan took a deep look at him and said, "it's obvious that I know your reaction. Why do you have to pretend that you don't know? It's really pitiful and pathetic. We all know that the west is cheating, but in order to satisfy our vanity, or to prove that we are right, we are blind? Don't you know that the most basic attitude of archaeology is to seek truth from facts? True is true, and false is false. If everyone is like you, it is obviously false, but we have to treat it as true, what else can we talk about pursuing the truth? "

Li Yifan didn't want to look at his reaction. He turned to another person and said, "what part of your research are you mainly engaged in?"

"Xinshi records," the man's face showed some uneasiness.

Seeing Li Yifan's ability to fight against scholars, he is a little flustered at the bottom of his heart.

"What is the record of Xinshi? It's paper or something, right? Let me talk about paper alone. After all, the invention of papermaking has made great progress in promoting human civilization, "Li Yifan said with a faint smile." now I ask you, do you know papyrus? "

"I know..." The man bowed his head and did not dare to look at him.

"Do you know? That's easy! " Li Yifan's mouth was slightly crooked. "A four meter long papyrus scroll was found at the Cologne science conservation research center in Germany. After testing, it is found that this scroll was the product of 2500 years ago. You should know the news, right? "

"I..."

"I think you know it. After all, how can you not know that this papyrus made up in the west is so famous? Now, please answer me, why did the 2500 year old papyrus look as bright and clear as new? Please tell me, when was papermaking invented? When did it spread to Europe? And when did it become something common to all civilizations in the world? "

A series of pungent questions, choked people did not dare to take up.

Mo Lingyan looked left and right, and could not help whispering, "papyrus was 2500 years ago? Is that bullshit? Papermaking was invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Up to now, it's only 23400 years old, maybe not so long. Before that, the characters were always carved on jade slips and written on stones. Few can write on parchment. After all, parchment is too expensive for ordinary people to use! Papermaking was also in the Renaissance in Europe. With the spread of Venetian merchants to Europe, it was first popularized in Italy, and Venice was in Italy! "

As the voice fell, Li Yifan looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, "do you understand? Don't tell me you don't know about these things. "

"But what does that mean? That means that papyrus must have been made up? " Gong Xinrong is very good at invigorating lung qi, and is in the final desperate struggle.

Li Yifan glanced at him askance, "it seems that you still don't see the coffin and don't shed tears! If papyrus was really invented before papermaking, please tell me how a papyrus made thousands of years ago can not rot for thousands of years? Don't tell me, it's a preservative. It's like a chemical made by modern technology. "

As soon as Gong Xinrong's face changed, he didn't dare to take over on the spot.

"Dare not say?" Li Yifan disdained to issue a snort, sniffed, "only three or two sentences on the show! Ridiculous! Don't you know that there are only a few books that can be preserved even hundreds of years ago? What's more, the ancient books thousands of years ago need very special conditions to be preserved. Only when they are carefully protected can they be preserved. But even so, most of the books handed down are damaged. Ancient times are not now. There are preservatives, vacuum environment and chemical gases such as nitrogen. A paper thousands of years ago is as bright as new. Who can be fooled? And if this papyrus existed in history, please answer me. There was a man named Genghis Khan in Chinese history. He once conquered Eurasia. The Mongolian Empire was so powerful. As a conqueror, all the places he conquered would be taken away by him if there were good things. Why is there no trace of papyrus in the historical records or the ancient articles in the imperial palace? Not to mention that the Mongolian Empire is only a thousand years old. "

Even if they want to answer this question, they can never answer it.

Because the papyrus had just suddenly appeared, there was no historical record, and there was no cultural relic unearthed. It was all western nonsense."Sure enough, this papyrus is a fabrication! I said, "how can it be possible that papermaking didn't come to Europe until the Renaissance? How can they make paper?" Mo Lingyan couldn't help shaking her head.

"What's more, what's the method of papermaking? People who know a little bit about papermaking all know that the ancients used fishing nets, plants and trees, and then ground them, smashed them over and over again, smashed the plant fibers to the point where they were invisible to the naked eye, then flattened the pulp, and finally dried it to form paper. "

"How did papyrus come from? The western manufacturing process of papyrus is to flatten the papyrus, then extrude it, layer by layer, and finally glue it up. Let me not say that glue was invented in modern times, but this manufacturing process. Are you sure you are making paper? Not plywood? Is there such a paper maker

"Cluck..." Mo Ling Yan couldn't help laughing.

It has to be said that Li Yifan's words are very pungent and direct to the point. Even if others want to refute him, they can't find any reason to refute him.

"I almost forgot to say that the so-called papyrus scroll displayed in the Cologne center in Germany, did no one notice that the written records on the scroll are the Chinese way of writing? It's from top to bottom and the way it reads is from right to left. There used to be a lot of brain damage on the Internet. It is said every day that the way of reading in ancient China was to nod from top to bottom, while the way of reading in the West was to shake their heads from left to right. In order to illustrate that the Chinese people are a group of idiots who will only agree, without any negative spirit. How can the writing on the papyrus scroll be recorded from top to bottom? Why is that? "
