Next, Ye Zhen really placed his hand gently on the oracle bone script of the word "天".

Ye Zhen pointed at the word "sky".

“Back to our focus.

Why did the ancients write "天" like this?

Why did the character "天" evolve during the evolution process?

From the circle ○ on people’s heads at the beginning to “工”.

It changes from the form of "gong" to a separate "gong".

Ye Zhen's words made the audience feel as if they were getting closer to some truth.

Now there is only a thin layer of window paper left.

Just a gentle poke.

The truth was exposed to everyone.

“Didn’t I just say that in the ancients’ worldview?

Is it the concept of the earth being round?
Why did the ancients believe that the sky was round? "Ye Zhen smiled mysteriously.

“If there is a window next to you now.

Everyone can stick their heads out and take a look.

There is something above my head.

Why did the ancients think the sky was round? "Ye Zhen paused.

Give everyone some time.

In an instant the camera switched to the outdoors.

A real shot of the sky appeared on the projection screen behind Ye Zhen.

Everyone who was watching TV couldn't help but go to the balcony or window.

Looking at the same sky as Ye Zhen.

Some of the audience looked up.

"Nothing! Except for a few stars and the moon."

"That's right, I only see the moon from here."

"From this angle, the sky must be round."

Rather, it’s because the windows are square.

When everyone looks outside, the sky is also square.

how to say?

It feels like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

Professor Zhou and his trio of Wuxing practitioners also went to the balcony.

In the summer, the hot wind blew across the faces of the three people.

In the south like Yangcheng.

It's like being in a sauna.

Professor Zhou looked up at the sky and said, "I don't see anything except a bright moon."

Old Wu nodded. "I also can't imagine why the ancients thought the sky was round."

"And when the character '天' was created, it was a person with a circle on top of his head."

Si Xiaoping smiled and said, "Isn't this just looking up at the stars? I think it's very vivid."

In a study room of a university in the United States.

Isis, who had just returned to the United States from her hometown in Egypt, was watching Ye Zhen's show.

Since the last trip to China.

Isis fell completely in love with China.

During Isis's trip to China.

The 144-hour visa is not yet available.

It was not easy for Isis to go there at that time.

If Tom, whose ancestral home is in China, hadn't accompanied them.

Isis may not be doing so well.

When Isis saw Ye Zhen draw the oracle bone script of the word "天".

An image emerged in Isis's mind at that moment.

That is a very classic mural from ancient Egypt.

Represents the sun god Ra, the highest god of the ancient Egyptian Ennead.

There is a round object on top of His head.

It’s just because of La’s identity.

People in later generations and the ancient Egyptians who created this mural.

They all naturally thought that the circle above their heads was the sun.

But now it seems to Isis.

These two different regions have different civilizations.

There is some similarity in this place?
"If you put aside the rest of the stuff."

“Pull the information out.”

“Ra, the sun god in ancient Egyptian murals.”

“It’s also a person holding up a circle.”

"The Chinese oracle character for 'sky' also looks like a person holding a circle." Isis didn't know what the two had in common.

But she subconsciously felt that this must not be a coincidence.

After everyone finished looking at the sky, they returned to their TV screens.

"Have you all looked at the sky? Did you see anything?" Ye Zhen knew it in advance.

But here Ye Zhen suddenly started reciting poetry.

"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky.

I don’t know what the palace is, but what year is it.

This is "Song of Water Melody" written by Su Shi, a famous Chinese writer.

I believe everyone has learned it.

This is a required text to memorize when you are in school.

The sky we see now is the same sky that ancient people saw thousands of years ago.

But why don’t we feel that the sky is round?

In fact, everyone has already seen the round "sky." Ye Zhen smiled intriguingly.

Have you seen the round "sky"?
Some viewers were still confused.

I don’t know what Ye Zhen is talking about.

"I didn't see a round sky. Where is the round sky?"

"God Ye has lost his mind. There is only one moon in the sky. How can there be a round sky?"

"I feel like I'm about to grow a brain. Why does my head feel itchy?"

Suddenly some of the audience seemed to be struck by lightning.

They trotted straight to the window.

An incredible answer emerged in their minds.

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

"How could this be?"

"Is this how Pangu created the universe?"

“Where am I and who am I?”

"I must be mistaken. How could the truth about 'heaven' be this?"

The corners of Ye Zhen's mouth raised, forming a subtle arc.

“I believe some viewers have already noticed it.

I have already guessed the answer, but why don’t you dare to admit it?

What I said before.

If we use modern scientific terms to explain what heaven is.

Scientists will tell you without exception.

The sky is nothing more than some atmospheric layers, a concept of a mixture of various gases.

There is no real entity.

But I said it before.

There are various kinds of days.

Yellow sky, blue sky, blue sky, etc.

There are also the so-called spirit-catching nets, the Way of Heaven, and so on.

Are these all the atmosphere? Are they non-existent?

Why did the ancients believe that the sky was round?

Because the ancients looked up and saw a round sky.

That is the moon we see now.”

After Ye Zhen said this.

It's like dropping a nuclear bomb into a calm pond.

It instantly ignited everyone's thoughts.

The audience opened their eyes wide, looking stunned.

"Ah? The sky that the ancients referred to was the moon?"

"The moon is the sky? How is that possible!"

"You are not kidding me."

"But what is round above our heads? It's only the moon!"

Hearing Ye Zhen’s answer.

Professor Yan Xin felt relieved for some reason.

But at the same time his mind was in a mess.

"The moon is the sky? How is that possible?"

"Why is this happening?" Professor Yan Xin could never have guessed it.

The answer is actually this.

Wu Xueyao also realized later, "It turned out that the round object that appeared in my mind at that time."

“Is it the moon?”

Wu Xueyao had never thought in this direction.

Because that thing is so different from the moon we know. (End of this chapter)
