Chapter 35: World cultural treasure, the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Emperor!
The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, the ancestral dragon vein, how can it be disturbed lightly?
After hearing Lin Yan's bold words, many Chinese audiences also said that it was right!
They are also curious about how many treasures are buried under the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, and whether there will be a super bomb that can overturn the existing historical consensus. However, these curiosities are not worth mentioning compared to the importance of maintaining the integrity of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!
But obviously, outsiders cannot understand China’s obsession with “history”!
In the live broadcast room, instead of supporting Lin Yan, foreign netizens were full of sarcasm:
"Brother, stop telling lies and stop believing them."
"What dragon vein? It's the 21st century now. Can we talk about science?"
"In Chang'an, cultural relics under 500 years old cannot be reported in the news. You said this yourself, right? If you really value the protection of cultural relics, where did so many cultural relics come from?"
"The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is your ancestor. Are the other people and other tombs buried underground not your ancestors? I haven't seen you Chinese protecting the tombs of your ancestors. Aren't you digging your own ancestral tombs with great enthusiasm?"
"If you don't have the ability to dig it, then you don't have the ability. Why are you looking for so many excuses? The treasure is right in front of us, so why shouldn't we take it?"
These guys!
Seeing foreign netizens speaking so rudely about the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, not to mention the Chinese audience in the live broadcast room, even Lin Yan himself was already angry!
Just as he was organizing his words and preparing to teach these people a lesson, another unexpected person lost his temper.
"You guys, that's almost enough!"
Martha roared unexpectedly.
Facing the camera in the live broadcast room, Martha spoke fiercely and stood on Lin Yan's side without hesitation: "How can you understand how important a complete and undamaged cultural relic is! This is... This is the tomb of a great man from two thousand years ago. It has been completely preserved until now after such a long time!"
"Do you know how precious this miracle is? All the cultural relics inside are not as important as this 'complete Qin Emperor's Mausoleum'! If it suffers even the slightest damage, the archaeologists... no, the entire China cannot bear this responsibility. Do you understand?"
……ah?
No one, including Lin Yan, had expected that Martha, who had always been gentle and lovely, would become so angry over a tomb in a foreign country!
But who can know the grievance in Martha's heart!
In the eyes of the world, the Arab Emirates is indeed a wealthy country, but the Arab Emirates themselves know that they have never been respected by any country that is as "rich" as them!
Almost everyone sees the Chiefs of Allen as a complete "nouveau riche". Because their family is lucky to have a huge amount of oil, God has given them food to eat, that's all! Apart from that, the Chiefs of Allen are worthless!
But this is not the case!
The Alian chiefs, their ancestors were also a great civilization! They have a great cultural heritage, they are not the so-called "nouveau riche"!
Every time Martha visited the ancient ruins left by Arab civilization in the country, she felt a pang of heartache!
The great civilization of their ancestors was not passed down due to endless wars. Their descendants can only remember the glory of their ancestors through these broken relics.
So Martha can relate!
The complete Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in front of us looks ordinary from the outside, no different from an ordinary hill.
But it’s good like this, at least its name is still “Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum” instead of “Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum Ancient Relics”!
China has also experienced war, and their land has suffered extremely serious trauma, but they have guarded their heritage!
They are like the Arab Emirates of another world line. In this world line, the glorious Arab culture has not declined. It may have experienced a period of lows, but it has come through and been passed down, so that its descendants no longer have to mourn in front of one "relics" after another, but can proudly say: "This is an important asset left to us by our ancestors, and we will never touch it rashly"!
Because, if they act recklessly, the result will be... from that generation on, their descendants will never see the glory of their ancestors again!
There were tears in Martha's eyes.
The culture, history and spirit inherited in cultural relics can transcend the barriers of race and language, and its artistic rendering can make everyone feel its charm equally. This cultural relic named "Qin Emperor's Mausoleum" undoubtedly deeply touched Martha's mystery of ancient Arab culture, and made her truly realize another side of China besides the "modernized prosperity" of Beijing and Shanghai!
"Yan, I believe that those cultural relics were unearthed for a reason, right?"
Martha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Lin Yan very seriously.
Although the two did not communicate verbally, Lin Yan had read enough from Martha's eyes.
"of course."
Lin Yan replied calmly, "We Chinese have always respected our ancestors. Any act of blasphemy against our ancestors is considered disrespectful in our Chinese culture and is the most serious crime. But even so, our China is still a vast and densely populated civilization. There will always be some scum who are keen to trample on the rules to satisfy their own selfish desires."
"From ancient times to the present, tomb robbing has never been rare."
"Not all tombs have the same level of protection as the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. When we discovered many tombs, it was too late. Our archaeologists had no choice but to carry out protective excavations."
Martha was visibly sad when she heard the words "conservative excavation."
"That's really not good news."
She is obviously an Arab, but at this moment she seems to be even sadder than the Chinese, which makes the Arab audience in the live broadcast room stunned.
——My dear Princess Shama! What are you doing? Why are you so sad for China? You are not going to "follow the local customs" so quickly! You are just going to China for tourism, not to marry a Chinese!
A group of brothers suffered cardiopulmonary arrest.
Lin Yan comforted him, "There are some things that we descendants cannot change. We just need to act with a clear conscience. I believe that if our ancestors are still alive, they will not blame us. Besides, the type of ancient monuments with the most unearthed cultural relics are not tombs, but ancient settlements. It's not like all the tombs in China except the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor have been robbed."
Martha: “…Ah?”
"Martha, don't let the live broadcast lead you in your tone. There are certainly many valuable cultural relics in the tomb, but how many tombs and ancient sites are there in total? And not every tomb is as luxurious as the First Emperor's. How many cultural relics can be unearthed?"
Martha touched her head and seemed to realize a key problem.
"So, this Qin Emperor's Mausoleum Museum is not just about the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in front of us? Is there something else?"
Lin Yan smiled.
"Of course. Even if the main body of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has not been excavated, the tombs and garrisons around the First Emperor are all very valuable. Among them, there is one thing that you should have heard of even if you have never been here, the Terracotta Warriors!"
"Martha, why don't you guess how many of the life-size clay dolls left by the ancients 2000 years ago are still there after 1 years?"
