: Chapter 639

Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped, squatted down, and dug up the ground with the sword of the sun. It was about 20 cm deep, and a clay pot appeared. Chen Rui continued to dig and dig out the pot.
This is a very rough clay pot, which is heavy and contains something inside.
Chen Rui removed the dirt around the mouth of the clay pot and found that there was a jar of coins inside.
Chen Rui said to the camera, "The discovery of this pot of coins shows that the private ownership of this indigenous tribe has already taken place, and the indigenous people need to exchange coins for other people's personal items."
Chen Rui poured all the coins in the pot, and a large number of shells were mixed with (pig) (pig) (island) (fiction) www.zhu mixed with pottery, copper, and gold imitation shell currency.
Chen Rui said, "Although the primitive civilization on the surface and the primitive civilization on the center of the earth have not communicated or contacted each other, the development of many things is common.
The most primitive trading method is barter, but cattle, sheep, pigs, and other livestock are indivisible, grains will rot, and there is too little pearl jade. In many cases, transactions are difficult to carry out.
This urgently requires an exchange intermediary to change this trading method. The most primitive and ideal trading currency shell has appeared.
Shells are small and exquisite, colorful, strong and durable. They can become a kind of ornaments loved by the original residents. They have a certain value in themselves. Due to their moderate size, easy to carry, and easy to count, shells have become the main currency and gradually become commodity exchanges. Functions of the general equivalent. "
With the development of commodity exchange, the demand for money is increasing, and shells can no longer meet people's needs. So began to imitate shells with pottery and copper. Pottery and copper coins appeared. "
"A large amount of shell coins were found in this clay pot. Mixed with pottery, copper and gold imitation shell coins, they tell us a lot about the indigenous tribes who once lived here.
1. The productivity and society of indigenous tribes have made great development and progress, and the social material wealth is relatively rich. There are a lot of surplus products of indigenous tribes or a family of indigenous tribes that can be used to exchange other much-needed supplies, which has contributed to the shortage of shell coins. When people's trading needs could not be met, people began to imitate shell coins with pottery, copper and gold. As a supplement to shell coins for trading, pottery, copper and gold coins appeared.
2. The currency found in clay pots, a large number of shell coins, a small amount of pottery coins, copper coins, and gold coins, which indicates that the development of the currency of indigenous tribes is in the initial stage of the transition from natural currency to 'artificial currency'. The size of the city, the population, basically. It can be inferred that the productivity of indigenous tribes and the stage of social development.
3. There are 12 gold coins in a pot of money, which is more than the number of copper coins. It means that gold is not an unusually precious metal here. Gold is very easy to mine here and has a large amount of reserves.
Chen Rui put the currency back into the clay pot and put it into the pregnant sea pearl space.
Next, Chen Rui found more things in the ruins, including pottery, pottery shards, bronzes, and goldware.
Chen Rui picked up a gold pot and pointed the pot toward the camera. "This is a golden vessel, very similar in shape to the pot, open, flat, square lips, short neck, wide shoulders, round belly. , Big belly, small flat bottom.
The gold pot is very large and heavy. The wall of the gold pot is about 1 cm thick. I mentioned it. The gold pot is estimated to weigh 6 kg. At least 7 kg to 8 kg of gold is used to make this pot. .
No patterns and lettering were found on the belly, bottom, rim and inner wall of the pot, and the production was relatively rough.
From the perspective of device type, workmanship, and decoration, this gold pot is not enough to be a decorator, a living utensil, used to hold water and store things, which is really a luxury! !! Maybe we think they can be extravagant with 6 kg gold cans.
However, the indigenous people who used to live here don't think so, because on this land, gold is very easy to mine and the reserves are very large. It is a very common metal that is easy to mine and smelt. Compared with bronze, bronze is a kind of Brass with lead or tin alloys is much more expensive than gold.
Therefore, this golden pot, here, is a living utensil that ordinary indigenous people can use. "
Chen Rui put the gold pot into the pregnant Haizhu space.
Continue searching for artifacts in the rubble.
Chen Rui scans the ground with a carpet of consciousness. After searching the ground, he drills into the ground to find—
the following few days.
Chen Rui searched through the ruins carpet by inch.
The ruins are actually small, square, about 2,000 meters from north to south, about 1400 meters from east to west, and an area of ​​about 3 square kilometers.
Chen Rui harvested a lot in the ruins, and the number of utensils was very large.
Mainly gold, gold utensils, pottery and bronze wares were taken into the pregnant Haizhu space.
Chen Rui made a rough inventory of the harvest.
First of all, there are 946 pieces of pottery, complete, and pieces of pottery are not counted.
These pottery are made of muddy gray pottery, with a lot of sand pottery. The shape of the pottery is mainly used for cooking utensils, for food utensils, and more for serving utensils, mainly for living utensils.
There are fewer pottery with decorative patterns, about 40 to 50 pieces, but each one is a fine tool, the decoration is exquisite and exquisite, if you open a pottery exhibition hall, these fine pottery are definitely things that make people's eyes bright.
781 pieces of gold utensils ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Gold and Kimbe are not counted.
Gold wares are mainly living appliances, as well as jewelry made of gold.
Compared with the exquisite exquisite pottery, it makes people's eyes bright. In addition to the value of gold, the artistic value of goldware is 0, and the value of cultural relics is very limited. It is silly to describe the goldware found by Chen Rui in the ruins with a word The purity of gold is very low. The yellow () color is blue, the yellow (-0-) color is light red, and even the blue color is white. The production is relatively rough. Compared with the Inca civilization, the superb gold smelting and purification technology The superb gold production and processing technology is far worse.
Chen Rui found 781 pieces of gold artifacts in the ruins, and there were many large ones. The 6-pound heavy gold pot that Chen Rui found before can only be regarded as ordinary.
Chen Rui found a giant gold statue measuring 12.7 meters in height and weighing more than 40 tons, which shocked audiences all over the world.
If Chen Rui melts all the gold artifacts found in the ruins, it is estimated that 4,500 tons of gold can be melted. (To be continued.)
