Infinite Possession of Beauty
Chapter 620 Archaeological Excavation
Australia, Northern Territory, rock cave.
The dust and sand in the sky were picked up by the violent wind, blowing and rustling on the dead grass.
As an uninhabitable area in Australia's vast land, very few people appear here except for occasional travelers with expedition purposes.
However, right now.
A large number of tents are scattered around the cliff, forming a simple research base near the cave.
"Dr. Colasen, can you briefly elaborate on the results of this archaeological discovery?"
A reporter from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ABC is interviewing Dr. Colarson who discovered the cave ruins.
"of course."
As an unpopular profession, archaeology has not received much attention from the world.
After all, compared to the ancient past buried in the mud, modern people are more concerned about the information displayed on the screen in their hands, or the superheroes flying in the sky wearing steel suits.
Especially in Australia, as a country of immigrants.
Because of the lack of deep emotional connection with the land under their feet, they did not have too much enthusiasm for the history of this country.
After all, from a historical point of view, the land under Australia’s feet has not much to do with Australians today.Rather than tracing the history of Australia, it is better to follow the history of Europe and there may be more historical origins between Australians.
For this reason, the ABC did not pay much attention to the archaeological research excavated by Colasen.
Nowadays, most of the Australian media have focused their attention on this election in the United States. If it weren’t for Colarson’s discovery of their team this time, they would call it an unprecedented discovery, and even boast that this discovery is likely Words that will change the definition of human history.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation ABC will not specifically arrange reporters to conduct interviews.
"...This is an exciting discovery. We have always had a wrong understanding of the land of Australia. According to the current mainstream archaeological view in Australia, the aborigines existed in Australia 47,000 years ago. However, the discovery this time proves that the aborigines of Australia already existed on this land of the continent as early as 65,000 years ago. This result is a full 18,000 years ahead of the current historical definition... …"
Leading the reporter from ABC TV station in front of him, Corason showed to the camera the excavation findings of the archaeological team over the past period of time.
"...This is the stone spear made by the ancient aborigines that we found in the cave..."
Pointing to a sharp stone, Colarson’s tone was a little excited: "At the same time, we also discovered the world’s oldest edging stone axe technology in the cave, which proves that as early as the period when the giant kangaroo on the Australian continent was not extinct, humans It already exists. This discovery is not only for Australia, but also for the human origin of the entire world... This is a major discovery of global significance."
"Really, this is really an amazing discovery."
Looking at the spear tips that Colarson was referring to were not too different from the roadside stones, the reporter's tone was somewhat weak.
It took her so long to come to this place where birds don't shit, not to shoot these rocks.
Perceiving the perfunctory expression on the reporter's face, Colarson's original excited expression was slightly stagnant.
He understood the cold reception of archaeology in many studies. In the eyes of many people, the so-called archaeology is nothing more than excavating stones and fossils from the soil.
There is no forward-looking, no surprises at all.
This is why, Mingming Kolarsen called this archaeological excavation a historic discovery, and ABC TV station only arranged for an unknown journalist and filming team to come to the scene for interviews.
Knowing this, Colarson's heart became somewhat distracted.
He continued to explain the archaeological discovery this time to the reporter in front of him, but his attitude has lost a lot of enthusiasm.
"Doctor, Dr. Colarson..."
In the research base, the reporters from Corason and ABC dealt with each other in accordance with the procedure and continued the next interview introduction.
From outside the base, at the archaeological excavation site, a dusty archaeological researcher rushed in and interrupted the interview.
He raised his palm and motioned to the cameraman behind him.
The latter put down the camera in his hands and paused the shooting.
The reporter turned his head to look at the researcher who interrupted the filming, with an unhappy expression on his face.
Colarson frowned slightly and looked at the researcher and said: "I've already said that, don't disturb me during the interview."
For an unpopular professional archaeology researcher, the ABC interview in front of him may be the only opportunity for Corason to appear on TV.
This is also the main reason why he still insists on continuing the interview process even though he noticed that the reporters interviewed were not of high quality.
"Sorry, doctor."
Hearing Collison's slightly dissatisfied blame, the researcher immediately apologized.
However, it was still difficult to conceal the excitement on his face, and he couldn't wait to say to Colarson in front of him: "But, Doctor, you also said that once the stone gate in the grotto is in condition, it will immediately..."
"To shut up."
Opening his mouth to prevent the researchers from speaking next, Colarson turned to look at the reporter of the ABC TV station on the side and said in an apologetic tone.
"Sorry, it looks like the next filming can't be continued. There has been a major breakthrough in the archeological excavation site and I need to go in. The parts I want to interview are those that I just filmed are enough for the TV station to broadcast."
Although, my heart is full of expectations for the TV interview.
However, compared to the stone gate in the cave, it is undoubtedly insignificant.
Therefore, after hearing the words of the researchers, Colarson did not hesitate to end the shooting, and gestured to the shooting group from ABC in front of him.
Colarson had a hunch that the stone gate found in the cave must hide a huge secret, and this secret will become the key to his success.
Therefore, when he did not include this discovery in his hands and derive actual research results, Corason must be careful that Shimen's secret was discovered.
Especially the media reports.
"Dr. Colarson, I seem to hear the term Shimen?"
However, Colarson obviously underestimated the reporter's keen observation of news.
After noticing the obvious changes before and after Colarson, the ABC reporter's original nonchalant expression immediately changed, and he asked Colarson with excitement.
"Can you reveal the connection between this Shimen and the current archaeological excavations?"
Frowning, looking at the camera in front of him and the reporter who seemed to be alive and chasing him, Colarson was a little flustered, but he still tried to explain: "At present, I don't know this. The results of the discovery require more in-depth excavations to produce results. Therefore, it is impossible to say that in the future I will announce the findings of our archaeological research at an appropriate time. Now, I need to enter the cave. Members of the archaeological team are still waiting Follow me."
After dealing with the reporter in front of him with analog-quantity answers, Colarson left the base in a panic with his fellow researchers and entered a protected cave not far away.
"What shall we do next?"
Watching Colarson's back disappearing from the camera lens, the cameraman put down the camera on his shoulder and asked the reporter on the side.
"Of course it is to continue shooting. Didn't you see that this Colarson is obviously hiding something."
Looking back from the direction of the cave, the reporter answered without hesitation.
"However, judging from the attitude just shown, the other party obviously does not welcome me to continue shooting."
Frowning, as an on-site cameraman who shoots all the year round, he has obviously noticed Colarson's vigilant attitude towards the media.
"The more he showed resistance, the more he proved that the findings in the cave have the value of news reporting. No one can prevent reporters from reporting freedom."
Giving herself a high-sounding reason, the female reporter took the camera and walked towards the cave without hesitation.
...
Inside the dark cave.
A large number of artificial light sources illuminate the interior.
Colarson and the researchers came to the location of the stone gate, and their goal was a huge stone gate covered with various unknown marks.
Through this period of excavation work, the archaeological team has successfully cleaned the rocks wrapped on the stone gate, revealing what the stone gate should be.
"This this……"
However, Colarson looked at the textures or symbols on the stone gate in front of him, and the expression on his face became extremely shocked and obsessed.
"These symbols are definitely not ordinary existence. Judging from the radioactive isotopes of the rocks on Shimen, these rocks have existed for tens of thousands of years. That is to say, the existence of this Shimen may be related to the aboriginal people found in Australia in the cave. Shimen already existed in the same era, or even longer."
"Doctor, can you see what these symbols on the stone gate represent?"
Also addicted to the stone gate, a researcher in the archaeological team couldn't help but ask Corason.
"It is not yet possible to judge."
Shaking his head, Corason's gaze swept across the symbols on the stone gate one by one, his expression full of confusion: "These symbols do not belong to any kind of text found in archaeological history, even the aborigines of the Australian continent in the past. There is no similarity between the symbols. Obviously, this is a brand new symbol, or it represents a new civilization unknown to mankind."
The thought of a brand new ancient civilization might be discovered and named by himself, and Corason's expression became extremely excited.
The excavation of a new civilization is simply the greatest discovery in a career for archaeological history and archaeological researchers.
"A brand new civilization?!"
However, just when Colarson was excited, an equally shocked and familiar voice could not help but sounded from the cave behind him.
"Why did you come in!"
Hearing this voice, Colarson quickly turned his head.
I saw that the reporter from ABC TV was looking at the archaeological team in the cave and Shimen with a surprised look, and behind the reporter, the cameraman was clearly capturing everything in front of him through the camera on his shoulder.
"This is not where you should be!"
Seeing the appearance of the ABC reporter, the expression on Colarson's face immediately became angry.
He looked at the camera, and subconsciously reached out to stop it.
"This is an important research finding that cannot be published yet and must be kept confidential."
If the stone gate found in the cave is published, Coralson can imagine that a large number of archaeologists will flood into the cave, and the entire archaeological team's research success will be in vain.
After all, the whole team just discovered the primitive cave and the stone gate in it, and did not make further research.
"You are obstructing filming, doctor, reporters have the right to report facts to the public."
Facing the obstructive Colarson, the female reporter shouted unwillingly.
She stepped forward to stop Colarson's actions on the camera behind her, while constantly shouting for freedom of the press.
With the female reporter's blocking, the cameraman who was shooting behind her carried the slightly heavy camera on her shoulders, avoided Corason’s arm with flexible steps, and rushed towards Shimen without hesitation. As a professional videographer, he clearly knows how to capture stunning images.
Standing at a distance of more than ten meters away from Shimen, although the entire Shimen can also be photographed, the camera's picture is obviously a bit blurry.
He needs to get closer and take close-up shots of Shimen.
"Stop him, stop me this damn cameraman!"
Looking at the cameraman who was as slippery as a loach, and rushed to Shimen in a blink of an eye, Colarson yelled almost hoarsely.
Hearing this cry from Colasen, the researchers of the archaeological team immediately began to encircle the cameraman.
But obviously, for an experienced photographer, the researcher's actions are still slightly slower.
Easily avoiding several rushing researchers, the cameraman raised the camera on his shoulder, and almost clearly reflected the entire Shimen in the camera lens in a ninety-degree manner.From behind him, a researcher stretched out his hand slowly to block the camera lens.
However, the cameraman's face still showed the winner's smile.
He has captured all the pictures he needs.
Just as the cameraman was holding on to the camera on his shoulders with ambition, thinking about how to protect the content of the shot safely.
The mysterious symbols carved on the huge stone gate began to gleam with faint light.
At first, these lights were very dim and not easy to detect.
But soon, when all the symbols began to flash.
Inside the cave, the archeological team and ABC reporters who had been in a mess also subconsciously stopped their actions.
