Chapter 2: Sacrificial Murals in Prehistoric Relics
Qin Feng and other reporters also began to explain at the right time, "Dear viewers, we can see that there are some things carved on the rock wall of this cave, which seems to be a picture of prehistoric humans holding sacrifices."
"These murals are full of mystery and seem to reveal some secrets from ancient times."
As the camera lens zoomed in, everyone could see clearly what was on those ancient murals.
On the first mural, there was a shining sun carved.
In addition to the sun, the second painting also depicts land, trees, rivers, and clouds.
The third and final painting shows a group of little people kneeling on the ground, worshiping and praying towards the shining sun in the sky.
Looking at these three paintings, netizens frowned.
What does it mean?
The reporters present were also puzzled.
Another female reporter from Mango TV thought for a moment, turned to look at Professor Chen, and smiled sweetly.
She said, "Professor Chen, as an expert in prehistoric archaeology, do you have any insights into these paintings?"
Everyone looked over there, even the audience and netizens were very curious.
Professor Chen, who was frowning in thought, shook his head when he heard this. "There are too few clues. I can only talk about my personal understanding based on experience."
"Oh?" The female reporter from Mango TV's eyes lit up and she quickly moved the microphone closer.
"This sun may represent 'God'." Professor Chen mused.
"What?!"
Everyone showed surprise on their face.
god?
They couldn't believe it at first, but then they looked at the murals and the little figures who were worshipping, and a look of enlightenment appeared on their faces.
It really looks alike when you look at it this way!
Professor Chen went on to explain, “The first painting should be of God. There is only God in the painting, and nothing else.”
"But in the second painting, in addition to the gods, there are also land, trees and other objects. Obviously... this should be God creating the world."
"Creation?"
Exclamations rang out.
Looking at their surprised faces, Professor Chen said helplessly, "It's normal for prehistoric humans to believe that the world was created by God."
When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Yes, how could there be a God in this world?
Professor Chen smiled and explained, "The third painting may represent God creating humans, and humans are offering sacrifices to Him."
The netizens showed a look of realization on their faces and looked at Professor Chen with some admiration as he spoke.
Mango TV female reporter Yu Bing praised, "As expected of Professor Chen, he thinks more than us."
"Then Professor Chen, why is this god a sun? Could it be that something similar to the sun really descended on Earth in prehistoric times?"
The audience also looked puzzled.
Professor Chen shook his head. "This sun could be some kind of anthropomorphism, perhaps symbolizing authority, or it could be a person, or it could be a UFO. Who knows?"
people?
UFO?
Everyone was shocked and then doubts arose in their hearts.
So, what did people worship long ago?
Just when they were puzzled, Professor Chen suddenly sighed.
" What's wrong with Professor Chen?" Yu Bing asked puzzledly.
Professor Chen shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, there are only three paintings here. It would be better if there were more."
"What do you mean?" everyone was puzzled.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the prehistoric flood?"
A prehistoric flood?
No matter if they were in front of the TV or in front of the computer or mobile phone, they were all stunned when they heard this, and then their faces changed slightly.
Netizens started discussing it.
"The prehistoric flood? I know that."
"It seems that there was a worldwide flood a long time ago. There are legends about this flood everywhere. I heard that there are dozens of stories alone!"
"What it said above is correct. It's about a great flood that will destroy the world. I know that too!"
At this time, Professor Chen smiled and explained to several cameras and the national audience, "This mural reminds me of some interesting mythological stories that would happen if the murals were to develop."
"For example, the great flood that destroyed the world in prehistoric times!"
“I think everyone knows the story of the great flood in our country, so I won’t tell you.”
"Let me first talk about the Western legend of the Great Flood. In the West, the most widely spread one is the record in the Bible."
“This is how the original text of the Bible describes it…”
"When God saw that man was extremely wicked on earth, He announced that He would use a flood to destroy all living creatures with flesh and breath on earth. All would die!"
Looking at the curious crowd, Professor Chen continued, "This great flood is also recorded in the Mayan sacred book, the Popo Vuh."
"Legend has it that the gods created humans at the beginning of the universe, but this was an experiment that was not so smooth."
"The gods first carved human figures out of wood and made them speak, but these wooden figures later lost his favor because they forgot the existence of the Creator."
"So, the gods decided to send a flood to destroy mankind..."
"The most interesting thing here is that gods are mentioned in these myths and legends."
"Although we all know that there can be no God in this world."
"Maybe this is an alien." Professor Chen joked.
Reporter Qin Feng asked, "Then Professor Chen, has a global flood really occurred in history ?"
She handed the microphone to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen nodded and said, "Based on the existing traces and clues, it is very likely that a great flood really occurred in prehistoric times."
"There are several speculations at present. One is that it was caused by the melting of prehistoric glaciers, the other is that the sea level rose due to the movement of continental plates, or it may have been caused by the impact of an asteroid."
"Of course, there is no concrete evidence to prove this, and everything is just our speculation."
At the end, Professor Chen laughed and said, "Compared to superstition, we should believe in science more and analyze this disaster rationally."
The others chuckled upon hearing this, thinking that what Professor Chen said made sense.
However, they also had deep doubts in their hearts.
What exactly happened in prehistoric times?
What exactly happened to that great flood?
As more and more people saw this incident, it spread more and more widely. Not only did the related content quickly top the trending search list, it even spread abroad.
