After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

“The architecture reflects the level of craftsmanship of people at that time, and also influenced the size of the tombs and the methods of burying one’s companions.”

"Due to the limitations of tools, houses at that time were mostly pit houses or semi-pit houses, which meant digging a pit downwards and leaning against the pit wall, with the roof being the ground."

“Building such a house with the stone chisels and shovels of that time was a very difficult and important task.”

"Therefore, when excavating tombs, the scale was limited by the tools, and the pits were mostly about two meters deep, but the surrounding area was narrow. The emergence of grinding tools allowed some jade artifacts to have shallow shapes."

"At that time, the processing of hard stones such as jade was already very skilled, and it was quite common for leaders to be buried with jade artifacts."

Zhu Qinggu released several more pictures, all taken during the archaeological excavation. These included pottery and wooden artifacts that had decayed and remained in the pit, as well as some jade artifacts.

Each item drew gasps of amazement from those under the canopy.

Many people don't know about ancient humans; they only know from stories and legends that Nuwa created humans... Could it be that Nuwa created these people, and then after tens of thousands of years, they became them?

Some people who have read books know that there were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times, but that time was very far from now.

Those who collect gold and jade will find that their love for jade has been ingrained in their bones since ancient times. They are overjoyed to see the exquisite jade in their hands. It would be a wonderful thing to be able to collect jade from ancient times!

“By the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the tombs had begun to gradually transform from the shallow and small tombs of the Neolithic period into deep pit tombs.”

Zhu Qinggu then released several more pictures.

[One of the images shows tombs with various structures, including rammed earth foundations and even two-tiered platforms.]

However, compared to tombs from later generations, it still cannot be considered exquisite.

[If it weren't for the discovery of Shang Dynasty tombs, foreigners wouldn't have accepted that our history extended back to the Shang Dynasty; they would have thought it was fabricated.]

[They don't acknowledge the Xia Dynasty now; maybe we haven't unearthed it yet? I don't really know either.]

[Didn't they say that if we unearthed the Yu Dynasty, we'd have a much longer history?]

[This is from a marketing account. Look at the text they're using—it's in oracle bone script! What we found at the Dadiwan site isn't even writing; it's just simple comprehension symbols. They don't have any language function, and we haven't been able to determine their meaning. How can you be so sure it's the writing of the Yu Dynasty?]

[There are also claims of discovering ancient Tang Dynasty artifacts...]

[If they really find out, the official website will probably go even crazier than the marketing accounts, okay?]

Do we need other countries to recognize our affairs? Some emperors have such a domineering personality and temperament. Seeing this comment made me feel a bit frustrated, but then I thought about the disputes at the United Nations in later generations, and I understood that although the later generations were powerful, they still wanted to maintain a certain reputation in the so-called United Nations.

As for the Yu Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty... ancient books are also vague about them.

They used to believe in ancient books, but it wasn't until the late Ming Dynasty that they gradually began to question them on a large scale. That is, they began to think about whether what the ancients recorded was entirely correct. If it was correct, why are there some contradictions? If it wasn't true, then what was true?

This method of examining ancient books with detailed evidence and logical reasoning led to the falsification of many ancient books in the late Ming Dynasty.

Now we see people discussing Tang and Yu, but Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou are usually mentioned together, and it's rare to see Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou mentioned together. So, did the Tang Dynasty exist? And what about the Yu Dynasty?

If it exists, then what form does it take? If it doesn't exist, then why was it so widely circulated in the past?

These questions aroused the interest of many scholars, who decided to delve into ancient books, search for history, and then compile their findings into a book!

Then I thought about it again, and it seems that the archaeological work in later generations is quite similar to what they were doing at that time!

……

Zhu Qinggu was unaware that the many timelines Tianmu reached were influenced by her words and the comments on the screen, leading ancient people to begin investigating whether the ancient Tang Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty existed.

Or was the Tang dynasty before Yao a tribe at that time? Some ancient books say that these dynasties had more than a dozen rulers, but why are only Yao and Shun recorded?

Is it possible that in the Tang Dynasty, every leader was named Yao? And in the Yu Dynasty, every leader was named Shun? After all, the term "emperor" was first coined by Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, and was only adopted by subsequent emperors.

However, Zhu Qinggu was unaware of all this. She did glance at the comments, which mentioned Tang Yao and Yu Shun before moving on to the love and hate between the Shang and Zhou dynasties, eventually leading to the Investiture of the Gods.

But things quickly turned around, which made Zhu Qinggu somewhat relieved.

"During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the establishment of slavery and the use of bronze tools enabled humans to undertake construction projects on a larger scale than before, such as city walls and palaces."

"This is also fully reflected in the tombs."

She also released several more pictures, which were possibly 3D reconstructions of Shang Dynasty architecture, as well as several pictures of Shang Dynasty tombs, showing the changes in tombs before and after Pan Geng moved the capital to Yin.

"The extensive use of manpower, that is, slaves, made it more possible to dig deep pits. Medium-sized tombs in the Shang and Zhou dynasties already had an area of ​​about 30 square meters and a depth of 5 to 8 meters, while larger tombs ranged from fifty or sixty square meters to several hundred square meters and were up to ten meters deep, and also had tomb passages."

The pictures she showed were also very clear.

Those under the sky couldn't help but sigh.

"This is huge! I've never seen a landlord's house this big!" an old farmer exclaimed, his eyes wide.

His wife scoffed, "A landlord is a landlord, but that's the emperor. How can you compare them?"

"I was just gesturing around the ground, I didn't say anything about these things," the old farmer muttered again.

In fact, imperial mausoleums are no smaller than these places, and some are even built by cutting through mountains and splitting earth, but the feeling of directly displaying the entire tomb in front of you is still different.

Everyone felt the solemnity of the funeral ceremony, a long-standing custom that had gradually evolved over time and dynasties, becoming more and more accessible to ordinary people.

[So, tombs this large already existed during the Shang Dynasty.]

[They must have been nobles or slave owners back then; otherwise, they couldn't have built such a large tomb.]

[It's unknown how many slaves died, and the Shang Dynasty even had sacrifices and burial practices, which was very barbaric, but it was a gradual evolution.]

[No, there is someone who is turning back the clock on history.]
