Beibei roams the magical starry world

After Beibei and her friends returned from time travel in 5,000 BC, they felt a little dull.

"Beibei, why are you unhappy?" Monkey Saint asked

"I feel that in 10,000 BC, people were free and free. By 5,000 BC, there were classes and royal power, and social civilization had progressed, but ordinary people were not happy and were always being controlled." Beibei said .

"Yes! It's like the difference between kindergarten and elementary school." Xiaohui nodded in agreement.

"Everyone take a break and go outside to enjoy the fresh sea breeze. I am debugging the data now. Next stop is 3,000 BC. We will go to see what changes have occurred in human civilization after another two thousand years." Robot Xiao Cong said.

An hour later, the friends put on their helmets, lay down with their eyes closed, and heard the voice of the robot Xiao Cong in their ears.

"Welcome aboard our time ship. Our time travel this time is the Mesopotamia, Europe, Egyptian Civilization, Chinese Civilization, Indus Valley Civilization and Central America in the third millennium BC." said the robot Xiao Cong.

The time ship came over the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers originated from the Anatolian Plateau in Turkey. The Euphrates River merged with a river called the Shatai Shatt al-Arab River near Basra in Iraq, forming a A river called the Shatt al-Arab, which joins the Tigris and flows into the Persian Gulf.

The time ship flew slowly in the Mesopotamia, and the friends saw nobles wearing gorgeous clothes playing and farmers wearing rags busy in the fields.

One city-state is attacking another city-state. Both sides use bronze weapons, composite bows, and chariots. The siege party uses catapults and ladders. People kept being smashed or shot off the city walls, and many people fell off the ladders.

The time ship flew to some Sumerian city-states close to the nomads. A group of herdsmen ran, rode cattle, and brandished spears to plunder the residents of the city-states.

Floods, droughts, and plagues caused the people of Sumerian city-states to be displaced and starved to death, exacerbating social unrest and weakening the foundation for the development of Sumerian civilization.

The time ship has been flying for more than six hundred years, and the friends saw a man with a bald head, a long beard, a tall body, and strong muscles.

At this time, he put on a jeweled crown, put on gorgeous clothes, and held a scepter in his hand. He walked out of the palace and boarded a chariot.

He was King Sargon, the founder of the Kingdom of Akkad who conquered the large and small city-states in Sumer internally, expanded his territory externally to Egypt, the northern Mesopotamia, and the east coast of the Mediterranean, and established the Kingdom of Akkad. He called himself "King of the Four Parties of the World." .

The chariot came to a square group holding bronze weapons. In front of the square group were archers, shield bearers and spearmen on the chariot. There are generally 5 chariots in a formation.

Behind the square team are catapults, ladders and other equipment for climbing the city.

Under the leadership of Sargon, the army marched towards the last Sumerian city-state, and soon came to the city wall of the last Sumerian city-state. Catapults threw large stones at the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall took cover. , people kept being hit, and screams continued.

An hour later, groups of archers fired arrows at the city wall, and many soldiers were shot.

After three rounds of bow and arrow shooting, the siege soldiers were already under the city wall, setting up ladders, holding shields in one hand and bronze swords in the other, climbing up the city wall.

Stones continued to fall on the city wall, and soon the first wave of siege soldiers retreated, leaving corpses on the ground.

The second wave of soldiers began to attack the city. Wave after wave of soldiers attacked the city, retreated, attacked the city again, and retreated again...

In the evening, everyone retreated to the camp.

During the daytime siege of the city, Sargon discovered that if the nobles had not been supervising the battle on the city wall, the ordinary soldiers would have fled long ago, and the ordinary people had lost their will to fight.

That night, countless arrow shafts with arrows removed, with letters of surrender and letters of condemnation for the crimes of the nobles tied to them, were shot into the city wall.

Many people saw the surrender letter and the letter of denunciation. The nobles sent troops to seize it, and fighting broke out in the city.

In the middle of the night, a city gate was opened by the people, and Sargon's army took advantage of the opportunity, captured all the city-states in Sumer, and established the Kingdom of Akkad.

After unifying all the city-states in Sumer, Sargon began to build water conservancy, develop agriculture, unify weights and measures, and promote foreign trade.

Sargon also created more official positions, attacked the old aristocratic forces in various places, and established a centralized government.

Sargon was not satisfied with all the city-states in Mer. His expansion ambition led him to continuously destroy cities and massacre people. This led to the rise and fall of resistance forces in various places in his later years, which eventually weakened the rule of the Akkadian Kingdom.

"The Mesopotamian civilization during the three thousand years of prehistory was the peak period of the development of human civilization, including countries such as Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, Assyria, and Neo-Babylon. Agriculture, water conservancy projects, and urban planning were all well developed, and inventions Cuneiform writing." Xiao Cong, the robot, concluded.

The time ship left ancient Egypt and flew to Europe. The robot Xiao Cong began to introduce: "In 3000 BC, the development of civilization in Europe was slow, mainly in the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age. Residents were mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting (i.e. fishing) and other activities. Handicrafts are mainly pottery making, metallurgy and carving.”

The time ship took everyone to Crete in the eastern Mediterranean.

"So beautiful!" Beibei said happily.

"Crete is known as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean" with a beautiful environment and a mild climate. The island covers an area of ​​about 8300 square kilometers and has a long and winding coastline. Most of the island is mountainous, with the highest peak being Mount Ida, 2841 meters above sea level. The island is rich in flora and fauna resources including Cretan pine, olive trees, grape vines, etc.

The representative of European civilization is the Cretan civilization, which is closely related to ancient Greek civilization, ancient Roman civilization, ancient Egyptian civilization, etc. It has reached a very high level in urban planning, commerce and trade, agriculture, animal husbandry, architecture, art and religious belief. "The robot Xiao Cong explained.

The time ship came to the Knossos Palace, the most representative palace of the Cretan civilization. Beibei and her friends saw that the architectural style of this palace was very unique. The palace used a large amount of wood and plaster, making the walls clean and bright, and the wooden roof Being lightweight allows the distance between columns to be elongated. The column body does not shrink upwards, but shrinks in the opposite direction, creating a floating visual effect. The weight of the top floor of the building is transferred through a huge disk to the pad-like form at the top of the column. This type of capital was later adopted by the Greeks.

The interior of the palace is connected by complex passages and stairs, making the entire palace like a maze. There are many different rooms in the palace, including the king's palace, the queen's palace, the temple (Double Ax Palace), the treasure house, the residence, etc.

At this time, the robot Xiao Cong introduced: "The murals in the Knossos Palace are mainly characterized by vivid colors and delicate techniques. The murals mainly depict mythological stories and scenes of daily life. Look, this is the most famous mural among them, "Dancer" Murals" show the cultural life and artistic creativity of people at that time."
