Chapter 358 A Text Longer Than Oracle Bone Inscriptions?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help showing a disappointed expression.

The tortoise shell is of no value to him at all, and it still takes up space. Why not donate all of these things? As for whether the oracle bone inscriptions inside can be deciphered, this is not a question for him to consider. Those archaeologists.

Afterwards, Ye Fan collected the tortoise shells and threw them on the ground. After doing all this, he contacted the official.

When the official got the news of Ye Fan, he couldn't help being excited, and his whole body trembled.

Damn, Mr. Ye actually dug up oracle bone inscriptions in his backyard, the kind engraved on tortoise shells, this damn is no small matter.

After all, tortoise shells are completely different from ordinary cultural relics. They cannot determine which dynasty the tortoise shells came from. After all, few people use oracle bone inscriptions to record historical events.

Moreover, after thousands of years, those tortoise shells have long been lost. Most of them, even if some tortoise shells are found, it will not have much effect on the advancement of Chinese history.

Not only that, but the facts recorded in these tortoise shells may have a certain impact on known history.

After all, the known history of China is also deduced by archaeologists based on the cultural relics excavated. No one can guarantee whether the historical relics and tortoise shells excavated in the future can overturn the previous history.

In particular, the historical facts recorded in oracle bone inscriptions in the tortoise shell are of great help to the completion of the blank civilization history of China.

Of course, those archaeologists are not able to excavate the tortoise shell whenever they want, and even after excavating it, there is still extremely difficult work in deciphering the oracle bone inscriptions.

Therefore, all historical facts recorded in oracle bone inscriptions are extremely authoritative in archaeological work.

Therefore, tortoise shells are extremely important to Chinese history and those archaeologists.

……

Almost half an hour later, the official brought several archaeological experts to Ye Fan's backyard.

"Mr. Ye, where is the tortoise shell you unearthed?" the official asked anxiously.

"No...it's there. I saw it when I was digging the ground today. I washed it, but I didn't know the words on it, so I wanted to contact you!" Ye Fan said nonsense seriously.

The gray-haired archaeologists ran over excitedly upon hearing the words.

"Ahem... I hope Mr. Ye will not be offended, these old experts have such an attitude towards those cultural relics!" The official rubbed his head in embarrassment.

The few experts who came with him, but the Zong family is a representative figure in the archaeological world, an existence of the old antique level, and is very good at deciphering oracle bone inscriptions.

It can be said that these old men have made great contributions to the completion of the history of Chinese civilization.

"It's okay!" Ye Fan nodded understandingly, and didn't care much about these details.

Then they watched from the sidelines, letting those archaeological experts study the oracle bone inscriptions on the tortoise shells.

Then these old men looked at it for a long time, but they didn't seem to see anything.

Suddenly, an old man frowned, and said with some uncertainty, "The text here does not seem to be Oracle..."

"What? If this text is not oracle bone inscriptions, what kind of text would it be?" The official couldn't help but stare blankly when he heard the words.

"I'm not sure, and it's just a possibility. After all, there are many types of oracle bone inscriptions. Maybe I haven't seen this kind of oracle bone inscriptions before!" The old man shook his head helplessly. He had never seen one before. Such a strange text.

"What are you afraid of, old man? Look at how timid you are! Official, let me tell you the truth, this writing is definitely not oracle bone inscriptions!"

"Although there are many types of oracle bone inscriptions, there are thousands of ways to achieve the same goal. We old men have studied oracle bone inscriptions for so many years, so we still have some confidence!"

An old man said very seriously.

They are experts in archaeology, especially good at studying the types of oracle bone inscriptions. Although the inscriptions carved on the tortoise shell are extremely obscure, he can be sure that the inscriptions are definitely not oracle bone inscriptions.

But if the writing on the armor is not inscriptions on oracle bones, what kind of writing is it?
For a moment, the official's eyes were full of curiosity.

"We don't know, but we can be sure that this kind of writing has never appeared before. It can be said that it is a brand new writing, so we don't understand the meaning of this writing. Fortunately, there are a lot of tortoise shells in the backyard!"

"We can arrange and combine these words, the overlap and composition of the words, and infer the meaning it contains!"

An expert said.

"Could it be that this text appeared before oracle bone inscriptions?" Ye Fan next to him showed a puzzled look.

As we all know, the earliest characters invented by human beings are oracle bone inscriptions. Of course, many experts have made assumptions that there may be another brand new character in front of oracle bone inscriptions, but they have not excavated them.

"That's right! I also think that this text and its possession have a longer history than oracle bone inscriptions, young man, you have made a great contribution!"

The expert said excitedly.

After hundreds of years of research, human archaeologists have basically deciphered the types of oracle bone inscriptions. Although they only account for 50% of the types of oracle bone inscriptions, there is no obstacle for those archaeological experts to decipher and understand the meaning of oracle bone inscriptions.

Because of this, those experts who are proficient in deciphering ancient texts are basically in a very leisurely state.

You said that it is not necessary for us to decipher the oracle bone inscriptions in the past. After all, based on the currently known cracking process of the oracle bone inscriptions, it is basically certain that there are indeed two lines of Yin and Shang in Chinese history.

This history is no longer meaningful for much research.
