Mission traceability

This matter can be put aside for now, but why did this Sumerian leader tell me this?Obviously he is not direct enough. If we can think of the dragon thing alone, and Hesha can think of it, it is taking off his pants and farting many times in one fell swoop.The old man must have hinted at other things, but those things can only be guessed from the story.

"Miss Hertha, do you know why this old man told me this?" I asked.

"I don't know either, but he seldom talks, and he talked so much when he saw you today." Hesha replied.

"Then please ask him, why are you talking so much today?"

Hertha immediately turned her head and murmured something.

The old chief thought for a while and said, "gilgamesh."

Hesha was about to translate, but I stopped her with my hand: "I understand this sentence, it is Gilgamesh, the name of the so-called hero."

The old man seemed no longer willing to say anything, and kept waving his hands.His son or grandson stood up and babbled a lot to Hertha.

Hertha translated: "He said, all that has to be said has been said, we should go, if we want, we can go to the Amorites and see, maybe there will be some other information."

"Are you kidding us?" I asked.

"I don't know," Hertha replied.

"Okay then, let's go to the Amorites first." I tried to put on a boring look so that Hesha wouldn't notice my strangeness.The old chief just keeps singing the epic poem of Gilgamesh, which means that there must be some secrets hidden in it.Gilgamesh and Enkidu, as well as that monster Humbaba, by the way, there seems to be a longhorn beetle, but it seems to be useless for the time being, so let’s ignore it.

After a short walk, we entered the territory of the Amorites.If I know the Sumerians, it is because of the history books, but I only saw the existence of the Amorites from the movies. The performance of Dwayne Johnson in the Scorpion King is really not bad. He is an Akkadian through and through, very strong.But it was such a powerful race that was killed by the Amorites in front of us.

"What's the difference between the Amorites and the Sumerians? Is it the same as the Han and Mongolian people in China?" I asked Brother Peng.

"Do you know the Semites?" Brother Peng asked back.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

So Brother Peng began to teach me again: "The Semites are called Semites. They originated from nomadic peoples in the Arabian Peninsula a long time ago. According to legend, Noah's son Shem is their ancestor."

"Noah? The Noah in Noah's Ark?" I asked.

"Yes, that's him." Brother Peng said.

"Why is it related to him again? Isn't Noah's Ark something in Christianity? This is the place of Islam." I asked puzzled.

"In fact, the legend of the great flood that first appeared in the world was spread from here, and Christianity also borrowed from this place to create Noah's Ark. In fact, there are legends of floods in many places in the world, including China's Dayu to control the water." Brother Peng explain.

"Okay, skip this kind of question for now, you can continue."

"Sumer is the aborigine here. We have been talking about the four ancient civilizations of ancient Babylon, Egypt, India and China. In fact, this is wrong. In the true sense, it will be the Two Rivers Civilization, the Nile River Civilization, The Indus River Ganges Civilization and the Yangtze and Yellow River Civilizations. The so-called ancient civilizations are just what the Chinese are used to. The Two Rivers Civilization mainly refers to the Sumerian civilization thousands of years ago, not the Babylonian Kingdom that we generally think of. Civilization." Peng Ge said.

"Then why isn't it called the Sumerian civilization?" I asked.

"It should have been mentioned in the history books. The Lianghe civilization at that time was actually a city-state system, similar to the feudal princes in China before. In fact, each city-state is a small country, and there are often wars between them. .But the rise of the Semitic people is something they didn't expect."

If it was said that I just worship Brother Peng in the previous narration, then I can only describe it as admiration in the following narration.

The ancient Semites lived on livestock. They originally lived in the northern part of the Sahara and originated from the Arabian Peninsula.Around 5000 BC, the climate changed drastically, and they began to move eastward, and came to the Mesopotamia of West Asia and the Syrian grassland one after another, maintaining a fairly unified ethnic community.By the beginning of 3000 BC, it was clearly divided into two branches, East and West, according to language.The East Semites lived in the northern part of the Mesopotamia, spoke the Akate language, and absorbed and integrated the other's language during contact with the Sumerians.From 200 BC to the beginning of AD, its representatives were Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians.According to modern classification, this branch is called "Semitic Northern Branch".The West Semites are divided into three branches: the Northwest Branch (now known as the Semitic North Central Branch), which refers to the various ethnic groups distributed in Palestine, Syria, and northern Mesopotamia. The earliest representatives are the Amorites, Canaanites, Ugarites, and after about 2000 BC, there were Phoenicians, Jews, Aramaes, Moabits, and Aodi people.The middle branch (now known as the Semitic Southern Middle Branch) was around 2000 BC to 1000 BC, and its representatives were the Lisianites, the Samuds, etc., and then they were collectively called the Arabs, and the Arabs were the Semites. The youngest branch of the tribe originated from the Arabian Peninsula.With the rise of Islam in the seventh century, a great migration of the Semites began.Now distributed in Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, Libya, Kuwait and other countries, they can be divided into 47 ethnic groups according to dialects, history, cultural traditions and regions.The southern branch (now known as the Semitic southern branch) is distributed in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. The ancient representatives include the Mashem, the Saba, the Cataban, the Hadra, etc. The southern branch crossed the Red Sea in the seventh century. The Horn of Africa, the ancestor of the Semitic tribes in present-day Ethiopia.The Mahari belong to this branch.Judging from these accounts, "The Arabian Peninsula may have been the cradle of the Semites. After the Semites grew up in this place, they migrated to the Fertile Crescent (that is, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan), and later became historically. Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Hebrews. It is reasonable to say that the Arabian Peninsula is the birthplace of pure Semitic culture." The nation can represent the Semites, one is the Arabs and the other is the Jews; in terms of special appearance and psychological characteristics, the Arabs have preserved more Semitic features than the Jews.” According to this, the creation of Judaism And Christian Hebrews (that is, the people of the Jewish nation), and the Quraysh people (that is, the people of the Arab nation) who first introduced Islam, are all descendants of the Semites.

Brother Peng said so much without even being out of breath, and Mao'er and I were so shocked that we stood there dumbfounded and couldn't even walk.Even Hertha was a little taken aback and asked, "Are you crazy?"

"No, it's just that the racial problem in the Arab region is very big, and it's worth studying. In fact, they are so noisy. In fact, they all have the same ancestor thousands of years ago, that is, the Semites." Brother Peng finally concluded.

"You talked a lot of nonsense, but you still didn't tell me the difference between the Sumerians and the Amorites." I said helplessly.

"Oh, I thought you understood. In fact, the Semites and the Sumerians were both residents of the Arabian Peninsula more than 5000 years ago. The place does not go away, the nomads change places every year, and as a result, they go farther and farther, and finally reach North Africa, which is now the Sahara Desert. But because of climate change, they finally returned to this place, and then took root. It continues to grow and grow. Just like the Mongols, they are very powerful. The early representatives are the Amorites. They overthrew the Urdi Dynasty of the Sumerians and established the so-called Babylonian Kingdom. In the long river of history, it is not necessarily The advanced civilization defeated the old civilization. For example, the Mongolian civilization must surpass the Han civilization? But the Amorites are very smart. They know that they are not as good as the Sumerians, so they learned a lot and gradually assimilated the remaining Sumerians. The Sumerians really disappeared from this world. From this point of view, they are much better than the Mongols. They only think that massacre can solve all problems, but they don’t know the importance of civilization. There are even many Mongols were also assimilated into Han people."

"You mean, the Amorites killed the Sumerians, but many years ago, they were also an ancestor?" I asked.

"That's what it means." Brother Peng said affirmatively.

"Then how did the Amorites come back here? Why can they live in peace?" I continued to ask.

"Didn't I tell you just now? The Amorites assimilated a large part of the Sumerians, so in fact the Amorites here are still Sumerians, with the same blood, but different cultures. As for why they stopped fighting, I think they should The former Sumerians came earlier and didn’t know anything about wars, and they didn’t even know that their country was destroyed long ago, so there are only so many Sumerians left in the world.” Brother Peng regretted said.

"Fuck, it's the same as the real thing." Mao'er, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke. It was obvious that Brother Peng's words made him difficult to understand, or rather, incomprehensible.

"So? The Hanging Gardens were built by the Amorites?" I suddenly remembered.

"That's right, it's a manifestation of the Amorites absorbing the advanced civilization of the Sumerians. They don't know what method they used to build this miracle in the sky. What's even more puzzling is that at such a height, there is still A complete irrigation system, I don’t know how the water goes up, I just have to ask today.” Brother Peng’s eyes are shining.

"I guess you're going to be disappointed, maybe the Amorites here came down before the Hanging Garden was built." I hit.

"It doesn't matter, I have gained enough now." Brother Peng said contentedly.

"By the way, Hertha, it seems that you haven't told us why they have been living in this dark underground?" I asked.
