I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

[Science Popularization Short Video Collection Series 20. ]

[Twenty-one, count the 10 oldest buildings in history, Zulong was furious after seeing it! ]

[The ten oldest buildings in the world. ]

[The Egyptian pyramids are only ranked ninth, the first one is 11,500 years old and is still in use today! ]

[In the long history of human civilization. ]

[Our ancestors used simple stones and soil to outline the appearance of the earliest society. ]

[These ancient buildings not only witnessed the transformation of human beings from nomadic life to settled life, but also reflected the ancients' pursuit of eternity and exploration of the unknown. ]

[So among so many ancient buildings, who is the king of longevity in human architecture? ]

[The tenth place, Mohenjo-daro. 】

【Mohenjodaro, this name translates into Chinese as the Hill of the Dead. 】

【This may have hinted at its tragic fate from the beginning. 】

【According to carbon-14 dating, Mohenjodaro was built in 2600 BC and is located in today's Pakistan. 】

【Until around 1900 BC, it gradually declined and was abandoned. It is an important part of the Indus Valley Civilization. 】

【The urban planning of Mohenjodaro is amazing. 】

【The entire city covers an area of ​​about 8 square kilometers and is divided into the upper city and the lower city. 】

【The upper city is mainly inhabited by priests and nobles, while the lower level is the living area for civilians. 】

【The city has complete city walls, trenches and watchtowers, and a highly developed drainage system. Almost every household has a bathroom and toilet. The area of ​​the excavated public bath alone is 1,063 square meters! 】

【These facilities are similar to modern cities. 】

【This seems to imply that Mohenjodaro had reached a high level of civilization more than four thousand years ago. 】

【More importantly, people have not found any palaces, temples or buildings that symbolize power in this city. 】

【Therefore, many people speculate. 】

【The social structure of Mohenjodaro is likely to be completely different from the ancient civilization we know today. 】

【It may be a more equal society without obvious power and class divisions. 】

【But no matter how glorious Mohenjodaro is. 】

【It eventually perished overnight. 】

【For this mystery, many people have made bold guesses, but the most controversial one is the nuclear explosion theory. 】

【This guess is not groundless. 】

【First of all, people have discovered a large amount of vitrified material during archaeological excavations! 】

【These vitrified substances are likely to be produced by high-temperature explosions. 】

【The center of the explosion was razed to the ground, and the buildings tended to spread outward, with the degree of damage being less as they moved further out. 】

【This is very similar to the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.】

【In addition, archaeologists have also found 37 human skeletons. 】

【These people seem to have been burned by high temperatures at the same time. 】

【All of this makes it difficult for people not to doubt the possibility of a nuclear explosion. 】

【However, many scientists believe that these vitrified substances are likely to be produced during the high-temperature firing of pottery. 】

【In addition, no traces of radioactive substances have been found in the ruins. 】

【Therefore, the theory of nuclear explosion still lacks sufficient evidence. 】

【In any case, Mohenjo-daro, an ancient city that disappeared in the long river of history, is now once again presented to the world with its mysterious appearance. 】

【Its story is far from over, and future research may be able to uncover more mysteries and provide us with more inspiration. 】

【Ninth place, the Pyramid of Djoser. 】

【In that ancient era, the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser had a bold dream. 】

【He wanted to build a staircase that went straight to the sky, so that his soul could easily reach heaven! 】

【In order to realize this dream. 】

【He hired the genius architect Imhotep to skillfully pile up a pile of huge stones together. 】

【So there was the first step pyramid in human history. 】

【The Pyramid of Djoser is also known as the Pyramid of Djoser. 】

【The pyramid has six steps, about 62 meters high, about 121 meters long from east to west at the bottom, and about 109 meters long from north to south. 】

【Its exterior is decorated with exquisite white limestone, which looks both solemn and mysterious. 】

【It is said that Imhotep originally just wanted to build a huge moss-like stone chamber tomb. 】

【But as the construction progressed, he kept modifying the plan, and finally formed what we see today. 】

【After its completion, the Djoser Pyramid had an intricate network of roads inside, connecting the pharaoh's main tomb, the official rooms of his family members, and multiple spaces for religious ceremonies. 】

【The inscription on the pyramid mentioned: 】

【"The sky extends its rays to you so that you can go to the sky, like the eyes of Ra." 】

【This worship of the sun god Ra and the symbolic meaning of the ladder to heaven make the pyramid not only a building, but also a sacred place connecting heaven, earth, people and gods. 】

【But no matter what, the success of this pyramid opened a new era of architecture. 】

【Since then, Egyptian pharaohs have followed suit. 】

【So there are more and more exquisite and spectacular pyramids later. 】

【It can be said that without the Djoser Pyramid, there would be no later Khufu Pyramid. 】

【However, unfortunately, this tomb has been looted on a large scale, and many precious mummies and historical relics have been stolen. 】

【Plus the influence of weathering over the years. 】

【The structure and appearance of the pyramid havesuffered varying degrees of damage. 】

[In recent years, the Egyptian government and the international community have worked together to restore and protect the Djoser Pyramid many times. 】

[And scientists are continuing to analyze and study the pyramids, hoping to reveal more secrets about this ancient building in the future. 】

[...]

"Which city is equal for everyone? Impossible."

"Is it possible that a city is full of ordinary people, and dignitaries live in better places."

"Pyramid? This is a tomb! From a distance, it looks like a small mountain."

"Interesting, I wonder if the Great Wall can be ranked?"

"......"

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw the purpose of building the pyramids, he was speechless for a while.

Sure enough.

As long as people reach the peak of power and wealth, they want to live forever.

This is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Ying Zheng calculated the construction time of the Great Wall in his mind and wondered: "Not good, why do I feel that the Great Wall cannot be on the list?"

This result broke his defense.

[Eighth place, the Burned City. ]

[In Sistan Baluchestan Province, southeast of Ichiran, there is an ancient city site called Shahr Sukht. ]

[Translated as the Burned City. ]

[The history of this city can be traced back to around 3550 BC. ]

[With the continuous excavation of archaeologists, people found that it was an archaeological site of a large urban settlement in the Bronze Age. ]

[The number of residents reached about 6,000 during the prosperous period. ]

[The city is well planned and divided into residential areas, pastoral areas and industrial areas. 】

[The residential area is mainly where ordinary residents live. A large number of mud brick building sites are preserved here, showing the lifestyle of the residents at that time. 】

[The cemetery area is another important part of the city. 】

[Archaeologists have discovered many important artifacts here, such as the first artificial eyeball of mankind and a skull that has undergone a craniotomy, suggesting that there was an extremely advanced level of medicine here. 】

[The industrial area is the workplace of craftsmen. 】

[A large number of pottery, stone carvings and weavings have been unearthed here, especially the Yanyang pottery with five different patterns, which is considered to be one of the earliest animation patterns in the world. 】

[When the pottery rotates, the five patterns will be connected into a complete picture of a mountain goat jumping up to eat leaves, which is extremely vivid! 】

[In addition, archaeologists have also discovered some ancient game equipment here. 】

【Such as a 15-piece game board, two jade dice, and a 10-centimeter ruler with a scale accurate to half a millimeter. 】

【All of this makes people have to admire the creativity and skills of the ancients. 】

【And what's more interesting is. 】

【Archaeologists pointed out, Shahr-Sukht was burned and rebuilt three times in the centuries before 1800 BC. 】

【The cause of these fires remains a mystery. 】

【But the city was eventually abandoned, probably due to climate change and river diversion, which led to the depletion of water resources and forced residents to move away. 】

【In 2014, Shahr-Sukht was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 】

【This burned city is not only a witness to the first complex society in eastern Ilang, but also a valuable source of information about complex societies in 3000 BC. 】

【The dry desert climate has preserved the buildings and cultural relics here. 】

【It provides us with an ideal place to study early civilizations. 】

【The discovery and research of Shahr-Sukht not only gives us a new understanding of the civilization of prehistoric eastern Ilang, but also provides important clues to reveal the evolution and development of early human society. 】

【Its existence reminds us that the splendor and wisdom of ancient civilizations may be far beyond our imagination! 】[]

【No. 7, Sheqinbajiao. 】

【In the vast land of Biru, there is an ancient and mysterious site, Sheqinbajiao. 】

【It is located in the Sheqin River Valley of Biru, only 12 kilometers away from the Pacific Ocean. 】

【In 2008, a joint archaeological team from Germany and Biru discovered a circular plaza with a diameter of about 10 to 12 meters here. 】

【Through radiocarbon dating, archaeologists determined that the plaza was built in 3500 BC! 】

【As a result, Sheqinbajiao has become one of the oldest monumental buildings discovered in the Americas so far, and one of the oldest sites in the Western Hemisphere. 】

【The entire Sheqinbajiao site covers an area of ​​about 37 hectares and consists of 3 buildings from different periods. 】

【Each one is more magnificent than the previous one, showing the gradual maturity and development of Sechin civilization. 】

【In the first phase of the project, the most eye-catching is a 2-meter-high adobe frieze. 】

【The frieze depicts a man holding a ceremonial staff and a shield. 】

【This complex carving art and scene reflects the rich cultural activities of the society at that time. 】

【The later second and third phases of the project were built between 1600 BC and 1200 BC. 】

【Among them, the buildings in the third phase of the project are the most magnificent! 】

【There are both public squares and private areas, and many walls are decorated with exquisite reliefs, showing the power of power and faith. 】

【The discovery of Sechinbadjo has seriously challenged the theory proposed by anthropologist Michael Mosley. 】

【Mosley believes. 】

【The earliest civilization of Biru developed by relying on the rich marine resources on the coastline of Biru. 】

【Whether agriculture played a dominant role in the lives of the residents of Shekinbajo remains to be further studied. 】

【But the archaeological discoveries in Shechinbajo show that agriculture did become an important source of livelihood for local residents at a certain point in time. 】

【This discovery provides us with a new perspective to understand the development of early American civilization. 】

【However, despite its former glory, the hourglass of time eventually made this ancient city gradually forgotten. It was not until modern archaeological excavations that the story of this ancient city was brought back to light. 】

【Now Shechinbajo is not only a witness to history, but also a tribute to the wisdom and power of ancient humans. 】

"I know that if you want a building to last a long time, it must be built in the desert."

"You must also use soil and stone, not wood."

"Among us, only one can make the list?"

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I guess we like to build houses with wood on the plains. After thousands of years, they can still be preserved intact."

"What bad luck, I don't accept it."

"......"

All of them are foreign ruins. Does this make the ancients unhappy? .
