Visit the Archaeological Site
by Xiang Mudu
About This Novel
Before opening this book, please think about a question: What kind of science is archeology? Digging graves to find antiques? Going over mountains and ridges to see rock walls? Traveling across mountains and rivers to visit the ruins? ...--Absolutely not! The real skill of archeology lies in how to use a small amount of information to analyze a large number of conclusions. How did Stein find clues from a few wooden boards purchased at the market to find the legendary ancient city of Jingjue? How to know what the ancient corpses 5,000 years ago ate, what diseases they had, and even where they went and what they did? How can we prove through the cultural relics unearthed from Han tombs in the city that Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, was indeed a drinker and a womanizer? Is the real anti-grave robbing agency really that magical and technical? Why can the simple-designed "Luoyang Shovel" become an archaeological artifact? How to determine the age of a prehistoric site without written records? ... This book uses "case-solving" archaeological thinking to take you around 11 archaeological sites that shocked the world. However, the author of this book does not intend to merely popularize knowledge about those archaeological sites, but is committed to discussing with readers how to use archaeological thinking and vision to view cultural relics and look at archeology; how to discover new historical research materials, solve historical problems, and confirm or overturn existing conclusions in history books through thinking and practice like an archaeologist; how to integrate various knowledge and common sense to solve complex academic problems.
