Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 820 Mural

Seemingly just to comfort Bi Fang, the captain left after a brief exchange.

Then the air fell into silence.

Bi Fang didn't see him again until eight o'clock in the evening.

In the office, the brand-new ceiling fans are working hard, but they can't reduce the heat.

Sitting on the seat, Bi Fang glanced at the policemen in the police station, and couldn't help but point his index finger at the armrest of the seat.

Those who read the newspaper read the newspaper, those who drank tea drank tea, and chatted with each other, completely forgetting that he was a spy.

Helpless, Bi Fang had no choice but to hold back a middle-aged policeman who was about to refill his cup again. This was one of the policemen who had brought him here.

How long will it take to confirm my identity?

Um, what?

I said, how long will it take to confirm my identity, and then let me go.

Bi Fang wondered if his Arabic was not up to standard, but on second thought, it was unlikely, since it was produced by the system after all.

The middle-aged police officer paused: Uh, tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine.

【It's over, I have a bad feeling】

【Does it take so long】

[After all, you are a spy, so you should be more cautious, right? possible】

[I don't feel their prudence at all? 】

Bi Fang, who saw the barrage, was also worried in his heart. He frowned slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

Tomorrow?

One day, it was still within his acceptance range.

Wait and see.

the next day.

how much longer?

Well, we are contacting Huaxia, but we haven't found the phone yet...

If it's just a phone call, I probably know.

Bi Fang sighed.

...

No one could think of it.

Bi Fang was found by the police at noon, and he came to the police station in the afternoon. It was not until the morning of the third day that he got the results. It was already the fourth day when he was finally released.

In the middle, he faced multiple rounds of police interrogation, and his passport was also taken away by the police for verification.

It's just that no one knows what efficiency is in the middle.

In the end, the netizen in the live broadcast room was reliable and informed the contact center of Modu. The staff of the contact center immediately contacted the Chinese embassy in Algeria for help.

With the help of the Chinese embassy, ​​Bi Fang escaped smoothly.

In retrospect, the various processes can be described as heart-wrenching and haggard.

Bi Fang usually seldom talks about the problems of other countries, but this time he was really tired, especially the procrastination and extremely low efficiency of A country, which almost drove him crazy.

The so-called tomorrow in the mouth has never been the real tomorrow, but a certain day in the future.

If it weren't for the embassy's support, Bi Fang suspected that he might not be able to come out for four or five days in a row. Fortunately, he had some food reserves, otherwise he might really starve to death in the police station.

It's finally out.

Once again thanking the visitors from the embassy, ​​Bi Fang stepped out of the police station and felt that the air was much fresher, full of freedom.

[Fang Shen never thought that the longest delay after he set off was actually being suspected of being a spy hahahaha and almost died of laughter]

【Brother, you said it so long in one breath, aren't you tired】

[I've been waiting for several days, let's go now! 】

That's right, more than three days have been wasted, we have to continue on our way.

And this is also a valuable experience, isn't it? When you travel in the future, especially in some special countries, it's better to be fully prepared.

Being mistaken for a spy was just a blip in the journey.

After settling the matter, Bi Fang led Alpha out of the town and continued on the original route.

There is still a long way to go.

Twenty days later.

Leaving the territory of Algeria, Bi Fang traveled through Niger, saw the magnificence and beauty of the Niger River, crossed a semi-prairie and semi-desert area, and now came to Libya.

With such a large span, the audience finally understood what kind of scene Bi Fang had originally mentioned about Yan Mo.

The surroundings are no longer boundless sand dunes, but towering rock walls everywhere, and there are huge rocks that have been eroded by the wind and become strange shapes everywhere, as if they are on some alien planet.

The wide canyon is on Bi Fang's right, and on his left, a bright red train speeds along the track.

The train leading to the canyon is covered with a layer of red, which turns into a curve and twists and turns between the yellow Gobi and the white desert, so this train has a beautiful name——Red Lizard Express.

After nearly a month of eating sand, I finally saw some modern technology, which made the audience in the live broadcast room feel a long-lost popularity.

Watching the train leave, Bi Fang walked along the track.

After passing through several tunnels, the surrounding scene suddenly became weird. It was clearly copying the grand canyon of Colorado to the African desert.

There is also a stream in the valley. With the flow of the river, the mountains near and far become lively.

It was thought that green life could be seen wherever there was water, but this rule obviously does not apply to streams with extremely high salt content.

It is its flow that exacerbates the continuous deterioration of the local sandy soil quality and makes the already barren land even more desolate.

Bi Fang rode a camel to the top of the canyon. At this time, the canyon is like an open door, and the sunlight falls through the crack of the door, reflecting the stream in the canyon as if reflecting the light of mercury, making people suddenly think that there are treasures there.

[This canyon is so big]

【Do you want to go in? 】

[One thing to say, I want to go in and have a look]

Bi Fang nodded, even if the audience didn't say it, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to enter the canyon.

Driving Alpha to slide down the rock step by step.

At first Alpha was a little scared and reluctant, but in the end Bi Fang had no choice but to get down and lead it down bit by bit.

Bi Fang found a clean pool along the creek, reached in and tasted some, and was surprised to find that the water in the pool was actually fresh water.

It should not be a water system. This pool is groundwater, and the stream just now should come from other places.

After finding the water source, Bi Fang put the kettle deep into it, watched the clear fresh water pouring into it, and felt a bit of coolness in the heat before drinking it.

It's mid-July, and standing under the Sahara sun can drive people crazy, and even Alpha is grinding his hooves, looking a little restless.

Bi Fang had no choice but to take it to a cool place to rest around ten o'clock.

After searching for nearly an hour, Bi Fang finally found an excellent shelter several kilometers away from the oasis.

It was a huge cave, and just by standing at the entrance of the cave, one could feel a coolness that was very different from the outside world.

And near this cave, there are other caves, in twos and threes, adding up to about a dozen.

Such a huge cave, combined with the quiet and unfamiliar environment, is unavoidably scary.

[Hiss, what a big hole]

[Is this formed naturally? It doesn't look like it]

[It was dug by someone, it seems to have been abandoned? 】

[I see that there are other caves nearby, so this should be a human settlement, right? 】

[Will there be any monsters inside? 】

【Lizardman, right】

[My evaluation is, watch less horror movies]

After entering it, Bi Fang glanced around to see if there were snake ants hiding, and then pulled Alpha into it. Facing the doubts of the audience, he didn't think it was strange.

I don't know if you have watched Star Wars. The Tatooine planet in the movie is desolate, indifferent, and barren. Skywalker was born and raised on that planet.

The residence of Skywalker in the Star Wars movies is a prototype. In reality, it is the home of the indigenous Berbers in North Africa. They have lived here for thousands of years and have developed a complete living system according to local conditions.

There is also an underground village called Matemata near Tatooine, and there are more than 500 large holes like craters on the ground.

There are guardrails around the entrance of the cave. That is the underground residence of the Berbers. It takes four people to dig for two years to form a large hole. The diameter of the entrance is about 10 meters, and then the living quarters such as bedrooms and kitchens are dug deep into the cave wall. A large hole can accommodate five or six families, and this kind of building structure allows the desert to have a cool and comfortable experience.”

Although we don't know whether the one in front of us was also built by the Berbers and was abandoned for some reason, but the reason is the same, and it seems to be proof that humans lived here before ancient times.

Bi Fang touched the rock wall, even if it was a vertical rock wall, it was covered with a thin layer of dust.

The dust on the ground is almost a few millimeters thick, and it can leave a very deep footprint with one step.

Obviously, before Bi Fang's visit today, no one had visited for a long time.

The interior of the cave is extremely deep, and Bi Fang also saw some murals on the walls. The brush strokes are very simple, just like children's stick figures.

Due to the long history and a layer of dust, the picture is somewhat blurred, but the general content can still be seen.

There are flocks of cattle and sheep on the murals, and some scenes of people hunting can also be seen. The paints are basically red and white.

After seeing several paintings, Bi Fang was a little surprised.

This has been around for at least four thousand years.

[Fuck, so long? 】

【real or fake】

[Basis? 】

【Experts on textual research are online】

Bi Fang shook his head: I don't really know much about archaeology. I just made some judgments based on the contents of the murals, which may not be accurate.

Look at the content of the mural above. There are no cattle and sheep, no elephants, no camels. According to the climate change in the Sahara I mentioned before, it can be corresponded to.

【Ah, what a change】

【Am I missing class again】

[I did not miss class, but I have already forgotten all (dog head)]

Bi Fang laughed and didn't pay attention, but explained the climate change process of the Sahara again, and then explained the possible stages of the murals.

Based on the petroglyphs found in the Sahara, and the climate change in the Sahara, we can actually divide these different petroglyphs into several stages.

The first is the buffalo period, from about 35,000 years ago to about 8000 BC.

The petroglyphs of this period were painted on rocks with pigments mixed with the milk of some animals that have been extinct in the local area.

Including buffaloes, elephants, hippopotamuses and rhinoceros, the figures in the paintings use clubs, axes, bows and arrows and clubs to throw out to hit their prey, but usually without javelins, they often wear round helmets.

The petroglyphs are mainly in the southeast of Algeria, and in Chad and Libya, where we are now.

The second is the Yellow Ox period, from about 7500 BC to about 4000 BC.

During this period, local residents began to engage in nomadic life, grazing cattle and sheep. Pottery and polished stone axes, stone mills and arrowheads from the Neolithic Age were found, as well as some bows and arrows for hunting.

The grazing animals were introduced from Asia. Some village remains that could gather more people and livestock were also discovered later.

The third is the horse period, from about 3000 BC to about 700 BC.

Already during this period there are indications of the local introduction of horses, camels and cows, as well as large-scale farming.

From the Phoenicians learned to use and forge iron, probably around 1220 BC. The Phoenicians established a great alliance of empires across the entire Sahara to Egypt.

If you want to record it with murals, it is impossible not to have this scene, but this time point is quite close, and murals are generally not used to express it.

Hearing this, the audience in front of the screen basically understood.

The content of the murals is neither as prosperous as it was before climate change, nor as prosperous after climate change, but in an intermediate state.

Then the time point described is probably in the middle of the time.

[So the people who originally lived here have left? 】

[It may also be killed by people from other tribes (dog head)]

Maybe.

Bi Fang did not give a definite answer.

Since 2500 BC, the Sahara has become the same desert as it is now, and it has become an insurmountable obstacle for human beings at that time. There are only some residents in the oasis.

Only the Nile Valley is an exception. Due to sufficient water sources, it has become an area where plants grow luxuriantly, and it has also become one of the birthplaces of human civilization.

And before all this completely appeared, naturally many people made their own choices.

Facing the deterioration of the environment, human beings will never sit still.

[By the way, Fang Shen has discovered another incredible thing]

Not really, there are actually a lot of murals in the Sahara Desert.

During the last ice age, the Sahara was not yet a desert, and the climate was similar to that of East Africa. The number of murals left at that time was extremely large.

Archaeologists have discovered about 30,000 ancient petroglyphs in the desert, about half of which are in the En'ajer Plateau in southern Algeria, depicting animals in the river, such as crocodiles.

There are still many of them that have not been discovered, and this may be just one of them.

It might not even count as one of them.
