[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

——I actually ascended in the daytime? !

Yi Nan still didn't know what was wrong with her, and she gradually "floated" into the air, completely out of control.

She intuited that this might be a kind of "time and space jump".The last time she used the "sleep mode" of the watch, she woke up directly 100 years later.This time, it won't be to repeat the same mistakes, right?

But the last time she was in a dreamland, she was completely unconscious.Now she is clearly awake, even standing, watching the ground getting farther and farther away from her feet, her field of vision getting wider and wider, and the mountains, rivers and land can be seen in full view.But the people in front of them are getting smaller and smaller.

She clearly saw that Wizard Tu led all the villagers of the Sumerian tribe to worship herself devoutly;

Important figures from other tribes were looking up at her dumbfounded, their eyes full of surprise;

The three spies from the hunting tribe all opened their mouths wide, and then their knees became weak, and they prostrated themselves on the ground.

In the face of this ability beyond "human", no one can't help but not believe it.

All the people present thought they had witnessed a rare "miracle".Especially Wizard Tu, who was so moved that tears filled his eyes, stretched out his hands to Yinan, and said in a trembling voice: "Great God, as you wish, now everyone is bowing at your feet, willing to be your pious people, Listen to your orders, follow your instructions, and meet your requirements..."

But Yinan had to keep smiling, and she even had to stretch out her hand and point to the vast fields behind the villagers—there would be the soil that breeds brilliant civilization. The direction the people finally pointed.

That might be the only thing she can do for these lovely villagers.

She realizes that she will be called by other eras, and she is about to leave now; so she looks at the villagers who used to get along day and night with reluctance, the resolute and stubborn Ku, the gentle Huan, the mighty braves, and the admirably clever Dan. ...

Her eyes met Dan's.

Dan's eyes were filled with sorrow, which made Yinan's heart tremble slightly.

The young man suddenly stood up from the ground, followed Yi Nan for a few steps, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to reach Yi Nan, held Yi Nan's hand tightly, and tried to walk with her and spend this long journey of life together.

"My dearest God, where are you going?"

Yi Nan said quietly in his heart: I don't know, Dan.

However, she has reason to believe that Dan is not an ordinary teenager.He has the ability to bring spring to the Sumerians, bring abundant food, abundant life, bring... civilization.

"Yinan...my goddess, please wait for me, the next time I see me, I will definitely grow up, I will grow up..."

Yi Nan had no choice but to raise her head, facing the vast plains of Mesopotamia and the surging rivers, she didn't want Dan to see the nostalgia in her eyes.

The ancient hymn sounded again, and Tu led everyone to sing together: "People gather together to praise our great goddess Inan, the most honorable Inanna..."

Yi Nan closed his eyes, as if in an instant, there was a soft "bang".

Everything disappeared, light and shadow, people and the earth, mountains, rivers, Yi Nan himself, all disappeared.

Consciousness dispersed, and gradually gathered again.

In the boundless darkness, she asked herself——

Who am I, where am I from, where am I going?

When Yi Nan opened his eyes again, he felt like a shadow cast on the screen by a projector.

"Don't get excited, you haven't returned to modern times yet!" Daniel's voice rang in Yinan's ear, "Now you can understand that you have temporarily obtained a communication channel, and you can still communicate with the entire team even in different time and space."

Sure enough, Yi Nan saw Daniel's handsome face as soon as he opened his eyes.But handsome, Daniel's complexion is not very good-looking, even very pale.His hair was disheveled, his face was tired, only his pair of pupils were still bright, and they were staring at the projection of Yinan.

In the huge laboratory, only Daniel was alone.In addition to the computer, his desk is full of text and video materials, among which there are many photos of various newly unearthed cultural relics.

"I thought I could make my own decisions during the experiment without interference." Yinan's mood was not very beautiful.

She vaguely guessed what was going on: the observation and experiment in 6900 BC were suddenly interrupted, and it should be Daniel's scientific research team that directly "summoned" her back.

"To tell you the truth, there is a problem with the energy of the space-time tunnel, which cannot support you to spend too long in ancient times." Daniel maintained a stern attitude as always, and explained to Inan, "We had to suspend your stay in Sumeria. The early experiment of Er civilization will put you into the next era as soon as possible, after all, you don’t want to be trapped in the ancient times, spend thousands of years of loneliness, and eventually you will not be able to return to the modern society!”

This is true-

Although she hated the early Sumerian tribes, she probably shouldn't have stayed too long in ancient time and space.She doesn't belong there.

Yi Nan was quite nervous: what she did in the Sumerian tribe before, and the data was transmitted to Daniel, will she learn a lesson?

Unexpectedly, Daniel didn't comment much, he just said: "As for the task of the agricultural revolution, you have done a good job. We have now fully grasped the reasons and process of the ancient tribe's shift from hunting to planting. You take a break, and arrangements will be made to send you right away." to the next space-time."

Yi Nan couldn't hold back, and finally asked cautiously, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Daniel seemed to know what she was thinking. He leaned back in the chair and said lazily, "Are you worried about the impact on ancient society?"

"If it affects the ancient society, it will be affected. It's no big deal. Time will always heal the impact you have brought. For example, the tribal leader you saved, he can live for more than ten years at most. For 1000 years For the ancient civilization of the timing unit, this interference is negligible."

"The child you pointed out will become a great wise man in the future. But after this wise man dies, his wisdom can no longer help mankind. Civilization will return to its original position. You can't expect one person to change the world. "

Yinan thought about it: Daniel is still the same theory - the influence of individual behavior on the evolution of the overall civilization is infinitely close to zero.

"OK!" Yi Nan gestured, indicating that she accepted.

"But there is one thing I want to warn you," Daniel said as a "warning", but he was still a little listless. It didn't seem like Yi Nan had committed any scientific research taboo, but rather that he had a little "little mood". .

"We now suspect that Inanna, the goddess of Venus, was related to you in the early Sumerian god worship."

Inan's eyes widened in surprise: "I, have something to do with Inanna?"

"Yes." Daniel replied calmly.

"Is there written evidence?"

Daniel shook his head: "Of course not. In the era when you just participated, there was no writing yet. We can only speculate based on the clay tablets and mythological evidence left by the Sumerians in the middle and late period. Inanna may be you, Inan! "

Inan was suddenly at a loss.

What kind of god is Inanna? ——The goddess of fertility and love in Mesopotamian mythology, in charge of agricultural planting, love and human reproduction.She is also known as the goddess of Venus, in the Greek mythology system she is Aphrodite, in the Roman system she is Venus.

Yi Nan really did not expect that he would be able to have a relationship with this goddess.

But think about it carefully, why not?

The Sumerians believed from the beginning to the end that she guided the tribe to start planting and brought a good harvest to the tribe: from the earliest wizard Dan, to the Sumerian tribe's merger with Kashan, and even before leaving, a show was staged in full view. "Miracle" will also be considered as a guide to start an agricultural society.

As for love and reproduction, all Yi Nan can think of is that she once blessed Ku Hehuan's newborn baby. If that girl grows up safely, the Sumerians may also credit her with this "credit". on the head.

As for the misrepresentation of Yinan's name as "Inanna", it is simply too easy for the ancient tribes who have no written records and have no written records.

But when it comes to the "Goddess of Venus", Yinan thinks of the young Dan—comparing her with Venus, Dan does have this possibility.

It was she who told Dan herself that the bright star that appeared in the sky both morning and evening was actually the same one, called "Venus."

Yi Nan stared at Daniel, and Daniel also stared at her.

"Should I try to avoid getting involved with Inanna from now on? Should I change my name?" Yi Nan was concerned with the experiment. As for what identity she should appear in, Yi Nan didn't care at all.

Daniel still shook his handsome face coldly, and shook his head: "No need. Anyway, I also need to observe the influence of polytheism worship on the evolution of human civilization. With a walking 'god' like you in the world, I No problem."

"It's just that you have to remember that god worship will be a double-edged sword for the evolution of human civilization."

Yi Nan resolutely agreed: "Okay, I will pay attention, but can you stop doing this next time and call me when you say you call me?"

——How embarrassing she is!

Daniel just said "Oh" and nodded: "Remember it."

Yi Nan was ready to return to the experiment again, and asked the person opposite: "Do you really... have nothing else to say to me?"

This time Daniel waved his hand suddenly and bid farewell to Yinan, as if he was very impatient.

Yi Nan stuck out her tongue secretly, and then her "projection" gradually disappeared on the screen in the laboratory.

Daniel saw Yi Nan's subtle expression clearly.Only then did he prop up his right arm and press it against his forehead, and with his left hand he took out a photo from the file bag piled up on his desk——

The photo shows the latest clay tablet unearthed in Mesopotamia, with cuneiform writing on it.

Daniel himself is an expert in ancient characters, and he knows very well that the characters like knotted hooked reeds on the clay tablet refer to Inanna, the goddess of Venus.

This passage describes the Sumerian sacrificial scene of the "Holy Marriage" for the Venus goddess Inanna once a year:

"On New Year's Day, on the day of the ceremony, they made the goddess's bed. They sprinkled the essence on the grass, and spread the grass on her bed. The wedding looked joyous."

"Holy Inanna soaped herself and bathed herself, and sprinkled ointments and essences on the ground. The young bridegroom raised his head towards the goddess of cleansing, to Inanna, to be united with her, and to receive pleasure and satisfaction from her .” ①

Daniel read the text on this clay tablet over and over again. This text is so vivid that one can almost vividly imagine the sacrificial scene derived from the worship of gods by the ancestors of human beings: the Sumerians chose a handsome young man Man, as the husband of the goddess, dedicated to the goddess.The goddess will marry the young man in a ceremony - this is the "holy marriage".

As soon as Daniel thought of the potential relationship between Inanna and Inan, he immediately had a headache.

The author has something to say: ①The scene describing the "Holy Marriage" comes from a clay tablet unearthed from the city of Xing in the Mesopotamia (refer to "Sumer: The City of Eden"), with slight changes.

Let me briefly talk about Inanna in Sumerian mythology. She has another name, Ishtar, which is a new name she got after entering the Akkadian mythology system.Ishta is more famous than the name Inanna, we can see her image in the "Fate" series, and she also appeared as a villain in "What I Missed in Seeking Encounter in the Dungeon"-in general, Inanna is a young, charming, mischievous god in Sumerian mythology.

In order to prevent this article from being too long, the author has put a collection of Mesopotamian myths next door. It will mainly include some collected information. It will be more interesting to compare it with this article-of course, when it is updated there, There will also be hints when writing this article.

However, don’t be intimidated by the above myths. The protagonist Yi Nan is still the girl who loves science and infrastructure. She will meet lovely humans instead of gods—it’s just their stories. It will slowly settle into a myth in the long river of time.
