Chapter 837: . A pile of bones (3/5)

Atulu held a piece of copper with turquoise patina in his hand. The end of the copper piece was wrapped with two pieces of earthy yellow, like a handle.
Sheriff Smith couldn't help laughing at him anymore, took the copper sheet and looked it over carefully.
Seeing the success of his discovery aroused everyone's interest, Atulu shuddered: "The reason why I'm panting is not because of running, but excitement, excitement!"
Wang Bo nodded: "Very good, Atulu, you made a contribution. Where did you find it? Is it a weapon of the corpse? I think this is a copper sword. What do you think?"
Atulu shook his head and said, "No, this is not a copper knife, this is Kui Sata!"
"What is Kui Sata?" Wang Bo stunned.
Sheriff Smith introduced him: "This is a Maori term that can be translated into a war cane or a battle scepter, similar to the current banner."
"In the early Māori tribal wars, this thing was often controlled by the warriors in the tribe. The tribal totem flag was tied to it. During the battle, the warrior held it to the front."
Speaking of which, Sheriff Smith stunned, "It's the first time I've seen this stuff in my own eyes, Aturu. Is this really Quesata?"
Atulu patted two fat on his chest and vowed with a full face: "Absolutely, I swear to God Mori. This is Kui Sata. Look at the handle. This is made of rhino horns."
Wang Bo wondered: "Rhino horns? Why do New Zealand have rhino horns?"
New Zealand is far from the mainland, and the surrounding islands are free of large beasts.
Atulu shook his head to say that he didn't know. Sheriff Smith said: "He was right. If this is Kui Sata, the handle is made of rhino horns. As for the rhino horns that Maori got from the time, there is no text The record became an unsolved mystery. "
Wang Bo didn't know what Kuisata meant. When Ramon learned the identity of this thing, he immediately asked the assistants to lift the bones down again, and then cleaned and studied them carefully.
Soon, Ramon holding the magnifying glass called out: "Continue to dig. The cause of this person's death was trauma. Come, look at his left eye socket. There are small scars. This is a sharp arrow or something penetrating into the eyes to damage the cerebellum. Traces of the time. "
Atulu explained to Wang Bo that Kui Sata is similar to a war flag to the Maori tribe. This thing is important and cannot be lost. It is usually not displayed. Only when there is war between the tribes, the warrior will charge.
Now Kui Sata is found under this bone, it is likely that the owner of the bone is the tribal warrior, so speculate that there may have been a war here five or six hundred years ago.
The warrior has a very high status in the Maori tribe, and it is impossible to be abandoned in the wilderness after the death of the war, but Kui Sata is an important item of the tribe. Burial warriors will not use it to bury.
Unless, there has been a tragic war here, leading to the extermination of one tribe or even the disappearance of two tribes, which can reasonably explain the situation of Kui Sata and the warrior's body together.
Kangli took people back to pick up iron and other tools. More than ten people scattered and excavated. At first, there was no gain. After more than half an hour, the surrounding land had been dug and the potholes were still not harvested ...
"Maybe we guessed wrong, this is not an ancient battlefield."
Ramon also laughed: "Yes, it is impossible to have so many miracles in the sunset town's territory. Gold mines already exist. If there is an ancient battlefield, it is really incredible."
Since there was no gain, Wang Bo didn't force it, so he shrugged and left.
At this time, Atulu called out, "There are discoveries, there are discoveries, dig deeper. Come look, there are some bones here!"
Wang Bo threw down the iron and ran to see it. This time, Maori Hanhan really made a contribution. His dry sweat smashed his back and dug a pit more than one meter deep. Some gray brown bones appeared in the pit, which looked like humerus.
Around this dirt pit, after a group of people dug carefully, two skeletons appeared and entangled together. One of the ribs broke several, apparently suffered serious injuries before death.
In this way, the fact that there is an ancient battlefield nearby is almost nailed down, but only because of the passage of time and the vicissitudes of the sea, the battlefield is deeply buried underground.
Five or six hundred years is too long. The climate of the South Island is rainy and humid. Except for the bones, their clothing and weapons have almost rotted.
Wang Bo dug with interest for a while, but he still didn't gain anything here, so he became boring.
With the representative harvest, Ramon and others were not interested in continuing to dig. They took Kui Sata and four bones to leave the previous soldier and unearthed another.
They all underestimated the influence of the ancient battlefield. New Zealand is a country with no history. Although the Maori people are not the mainstream of the society, they have a history.
Therefore, this country attaches great importance to the Maori past, and the reasons for the white people's final reconciliation with the Maori, there are also reasons to hope to integrate their history.
These bones and ancient battlefields were found in the morning. On the afternoon of the same day, the Herald had news. Charlie's beautiful lover, Britney, called and said that she would come here to report the news immediately.
The next day, the New Zealand Archaeological Research Institute and the Institute of History and Culture sent teams to the ancient battlefield to carry out excavations.
The Greens all reacted when they got the news. The couple said that they would come to see the situation on the ancient battlefield and ask him to protect the scene.
Wang Bo asked people around him strangely: "Wa Jona, what are they doing here? New Zealanders attach so much importance to history?"
"Of course, New Zealanders like sports and enjoyment the most, but the most anticipated thing is history and culture."
That Qingyang shook his head: "But Vachona they didn't come for this purpose. They wanted a magnesium lamp. It can be foreseen that many journalists and media will come to Sunset Town in the next few days, which can give them huge exposure rate."
The next day, even though the roadside of Highway 8 still had a sign saying "Dangerous Road Conditions", there were still a lot of cars driving continuously along the way.
The archeological bureau and the cultural institute were the most anxious. They arrived in the morning, which means that they set off from last night. Wang Bo had to admire the enthusiasm of these people.
These people came to Sunset Town with professional tools, a large cart pulled a lot, and a trailer dragged a small excavator.
After arriving at Sunset Town, they contacted Wang Bo and surrounded the area where the bones were released.
Wang Bo stopped them and said, "Why do you surround my land?"
An old professor with white hair said, "Sir, there may be a glorious history hidden here, do you not want it to reappear in the public eye?"
Pharaoh smiled brightly: "What does this have to do with my town? I only care about my town being damaged by the storm." (To be continued.)
