Chapter 956 The World Shakes Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang,” A female secretary entered the identification room on high heels and rushed towards Tang Hao, who was engrossed in examining a piece of jewelry.
“What’s the matter?” Tang Hao inquired, looking up from his work.
“Take a look at this news,” She said as she handed him a tablet displaying various jade treasures. An efficient woman and an older gentleman in his fifties or sixties standing nearby also took a keen interest.
As they perused the collection, they were stunned by what they saw. The Bloodstone bonsai was breathtaking, but when they saw the Bloodstone goat, their hearts raced, and their breath became short. And then they came across the jade cabbage – a massive, whole-body glass variety with a Green Emperor green hue. The trio was speechless with amazement.
“Goodness gracious, these jades are simply incredible,” The capable woman exclaimed.
“I’ve lived a long life, and I have never seen a piece of Bloodstone of such magnitude. This emerald jade cabbage is not only complete, but it’s also a whole-body glass variety, with the green part being Green Emperor. It’s unbelievable,” Old Wu exclaimed. He was so overwhelmed with emotion that he was at risk of having a heart attack.
“Su Jing, Su Jing, why don’t you ascend to heaven?” Tang Hao was even more excited. He knew that Su Jing opened a museum, but he didn’t go because of a prior commitment and planned to go another day.
Who would have thought that Su Jing would make such a big commotion, just the emerald jade cabbage alone would cause a stir in the global jewelry industry.
“If this jade were to be broken down and fashioned into various pieces of jewelry, wouldn’t it send shockwaves through the industry? Will our own jewelry be greatly affected and depreciated?” The capable woman asked, voicing the concerns of many in the industry.
Typically, the introduction of a single piece of jade would not be enough to cause widespread upheaval in the market as that would be an idiot’s dream, no matter how precious jade is, it is just a single piece or maybe a dozen pieces, and it is impossible for them to greatly affect the market.
But this jade cabbage was an exception. Not only was its quality incomparable, but its size was equally astounding. It had the potential to be fashioned into countless pieces of high-end jewelry that could easily turn the entire emerald jewelry market on its head.
Old Wu was ecstatic and exclaimed, “Who would even consider decomposing such a magnificent piece of emerald jade cabbage? It would be a reckless waste of natural resources. Anyone who even thinks of doing so should be ashamed. I’ll be the first to oppose it!”
Tang Hao was slightly conflicted. On one hand, breaking down such a perfect piece of green jade cabbage would indeed be a waste of natural resources. On the other hand, if it were to be broken down, he might be able to obtain a small piece or two due to his friendly relationship with Su Jing.
“Forget about that for now. Let’s go see it with our own eyes,” Tang Hao decided. He wanted to see the Bloodstone bonsai, Bloodstone goat, and jade cabbage for himself.
“I’ll come along,” Old Wu and the capable woman said in unison. They were equally excited and had no pressing matters to attend to that day, so Tang Hao agreed to take them to the museum.
At a certain Institute of Archaeology, archaeologists were shocked by the news of the 5,000-year-old corpse. “Is it even possible to have a corpse that old?” They asked in disbelief.
“There are two appraisal experts and two archaeologists on the board who made the appraisal. They wouldn’t joke around with their reputation like this,” A middle-aged woman replied confidently.
“If the corpse is truly an ancient one with a history of over 5,000 years, it would hold immense significance.”
“I have heard that Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian have already formed a team to identify it.”
“We cannot fall behind, let’s go and see for ourselves immediately.”
“An ancient corpse with a history of more than 5,000 years, could it be that the period of China’s Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was a real civilization?” Upon hearing the news, foreign experts were also astounded by the possibility of an ancient corpse with such a long history.
While discovering human fossils from 5,000 years ago is not uncommon, finding a perfectly preserved corpse from this time period raises questions about the sophistication of ancient civilizations.
Human history has already been traced back to millions of years before the present, but this period belongs to prehistory, not civilization history.
However, discovering an ancient corpse from over 5,000 years ago would hold a different meaning. The ability to preserve such a corpse to this day would require advanced technology, possibly indicating the presence of a developed civilization.
The four ancient cradles of human civilization are commonly considered to be China, India, ancient Egypt, and Mesopotamia (which includes Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria).
While ancient Egypt is often regarded as having the longest history of civilization, dating back 6,000 years, the history of civilization in Mesopotamia dates back even further, with the Sumerian civilization emerging around 4000 BCE.
Despite this, there are other examples of prehistoric civilizations, such as the enigmatic city of Atlantis, which although not widely accepted as fact, has captured the imaginations of many for centuries.
China’s Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as the Xia and Shang dynasties, are recognized as having significant cultural and historical importance in Chinese history.
However, their existence and contributions are not widely recognized by foreign countries, which may limit their status as a “civilization” in the eyes of some.
If the ancient corpse with a history of more than 5,000 years is confirmed, it would provide strong evidence of a civilization existing during that time period, which would be significant and difficult to deny.
“If this is indeed true, it would mean that the history of Chinese civilization is on par with that of ancient Egypt, if not surpassing it. The advanced technology required to preserve the corpse in such pristine condition suggests a high level of civilization that could be even greater than that of ancient Egypt,” One of the experts remarked.
“Impossible, that ancient corpse is absolutely fake.” Another retorted.
There were still skeptics who believed that the ancient corpse was a fake. Despite this, the news continued to spread rapidly, causing a global sensation.
