Chapter 816 mural

It seems that just to comfort Bi Fang’s mood, after a brief exchange, the captain left.

Then the air fell silent.

Until eight o’clock in the evening, Bi Fang never saw him again.

In the office, the brand-new ceiling fans work hard, but they can’t reduce the heat.

Sitting in the seat, Bi Fang glanced at the police officers in the police station, and his index finger couldn’t help but click on the armrest of the seat.

Those who read the newspapers read the newspapers, those who drink tea drink tea, and those who chat and chat, completely forget about him as a “spy”.

In desperation, Bi Fang had to hold a middle-aged police officer who was about to refill the cup again, who was also one of the police officers who brought him.

“How long will it take to confirm my identity?”

“Uh, 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 after thinking about it, it was unlikely, after all, it was produced by the system.

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, it’s a spy, so be careful? possible】

[I can’t feel their prudence at all? 】

Seeing the barrage, Bi Fang also had this worry in his heart, he frowned slightly, but he couldn’t say anything.

“Tomorrow?”

One day, it was still within his acceptable 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 came to the police station in the afternoon. The result was not available until the morning of the third day. When he was finally released, it was the fourth day.

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

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

In the end, the netizens in the live broadcast room were reliable and informed the Modu Contact Center. The staff of the contact center contacted the Huaxia Embassy in Algeria for the first time and asked them for help.

Bi Fang got out of trouble with the help of the Chinese Embassy.

In retrospect, the various processes can be described as exhausting and haggard.

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

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

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

“Finally out.”

Once again, he expressed his gratitude to the visitors from the embassy. Bi Fang walked out of the police station with his feet raised. He felt that the air was a lot fresher, and it was full of freedom.

[Fang Shen never imagined that the longest delay he encountered after setting out was actually being suspected of being a spy hahahaha and was almost laughed to death]

[Brother, are you not tired of talking for so long in one breath]

[Waited for several days, hurry up and go! 】

“That’s right, it took more than three days for us to continue on our way.”

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

Being mistaken for a spy is just a small episode in the journey.

Bi Fang, who settled the matter, took Alpha out of the town and continued along the original route.

“There is still a long way to go.”

Twenty days later.

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

With such a large span, the audience finally understood what kind of scene Bi Fang originally said about the rock desert.

The surrounding area is no longer boundless sand dunes, but towering rock walls everywhere, full of huge rocks that have been eroded by wind and become strangely shaped, as if they were on an alien planet.

The wide canyon was on Bi Fang’s right, and on his left, a brightly colored red train galloped along the track.

The train leading to the canyon was painted with a layer of red, and this color turned into a curve that wandered and twisted between the yellow Gobi and the white desert, so this train also had a pleasant name-Red Lizard Express.

I have been eating sand for nearly a month, and 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 moved along the track.

After passing through a few tunnels, the surrounding scene suddenly became weird, it was clearly a copy of the long-standing 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 smart.

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

It is its flow that exacerbates the continuous deterioration of the local sand 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 sun is pouring down from the crack of the door, reflecting the creek between the canyons as if reflecting the light of mercury, making people think that there is treasure there.

[This canyon is so big]

【Want to go in? 】

[One thing to say, I want to go in and see]

Bi Fang nodded, even if the audience did not say that he could not miss the opportunity to enter the canyon.

Driving Alpha down from 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 come down and lead it down little by little.

Bi Fang found a clean water pool along the stream, reached out 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 plunged the kettle into it and watched the clear fresh water pouring into it. Before drinking it, he already felt a little coolness in the heat.

It was mid-July, and standing under the Saharan sun was driving people crazy, and even Alpha was rubbing his hoofs and looking restless.

Bi Fang had to take it to a cool place to rest at about ten o’clock.

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

It was a huge cave, and just standing at the entrance of the cave could feel a cool feeling that was completely different from the outside world.

In the vicinity of this cave, there are other caves, in twos and threes, adding up to about a dozen.

Such a huge cave, combined with a quiet and unfamiliar environment, can’t help but make people a little scared.

[Hey, what a big hole]

[This is a natural formation? It doesn’t look like it]

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

[I think there are other caves nearby. It should be a human settlement here, right? 】

[Will there be any monsters in it? 】

【Lizardmen, right?】

[My evaluation is, watch less horror movies]

Entering it, Bi Fang glanced around to see if there were snakes and ants hiding, and then pulled Alpha into it. Facing the audience’s doubts, he didn’t find it strange.

“I don’t know if you have seen Star Wars. The planet Tatooine in the movie is desolate, indifferent, and barren. Skywalker was born and grew up on that planet.”

“And Skywalker’s residence in the Star Wars movie has a prototype. In reality, it is actually the home of the indigenous Berbers in North Africa. They have lived here for thousands of years and have developed a perfect living system according to local conditions.”

“There is also an underground village called Matmata near Tatooine, and there are about 500 large crater-like holes lined in the ground in that area.”

“There are guardrails around the entrance of the cave. That is the underground residence of the Berbers. It takes four people two years to dig a big hole. The diameter of the entrance is about 10 meters, and then the bedroom, kitchen and other living quarters are dug deep into the cave wall. Usually A large hole can accommodate five or six families, and such a building structure allows a cool and comfortable experience in the desert area.”

“Although the one in front of us is not clear whether it was also built by the Berbers, and why it was abandoned, but the reason is the same, it is also proof that humans lived here in ancient times.”

Bi Fang touched the rock wall, even the vertical rock wall was covered with a thin layer of lime soil.

The dust on the ground is almost a few millimeters thick, and a single footstep can leave a very deep footprint.

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

The inside of the cave is very deep. Bi Fang also saw some murals on the walls. The brush strokes are very simple, just like children’s simple strokes.

Due to the age, it has been covered with a layer of gray, and the picture is a little blurry, but the content can still be seen.

There are flocks of cattle and sheep on the murals, and some hunting scenes of people 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】

【What is the basis? 】

【Experts of Textual Research are online】

Bi Fang shook his head: “I actually don’t know much about archaeology, but some judgments based on the contents of the murals are not necessarily accurate.”

“Look at the contents of the mural above. There are no cattle and sheep, no elephants, and no camels. According to what I said before about the climate change in the Sahara, it can be matched.”

【Ah, what’s the change】

【Did I miss school again?】

[I didn’t miss class, but I’ve forgotten all about it (dog head)]

Bi Fang laughed and didn’t care, but once again explained the process of climate change in the Sahara, 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 8,000 BC.”

“The petroglyphs of this period were painted on the rocks with some now extinct animal milk mixed pigments.”

“There are buffalo, elephant, hippopotamus and rhinoceros, and the figures use clubs, axes, bows and sticks to hit their prey, but there are usually no javelins, and they often wear round helmets.”

“These petroglyphs are mainly distributed in southeastern Algeria, as well as in Chad and Libya, where we are now.”

“The second is the scalper period, from about 7500 BC to around 4000 BC.

“During this period, local residents began to engage in nomadic life, herding cattle and sheep, and found pottery and Neolithic stone axes, stone mills and arrows, as well as some hunting bows and arrows.”

“The grazing animals were introduced from Asia. In the later period, some remnants of villages where more people and livestock could gather were also found.”

“The third is the horse period, which is about 3000 BC to about 700 BC.”

“There are already indications of the introduction of horses, camels and cows and large-scale farming during this period.”

“Learning to use and forge iron tools from the Phoenicians, probably around 1220 BC. The Phoenicians then established a great alliance of empires there that spanned 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 generally it will not be expressed with murals.”

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

The content of the murals is neither as prosperous as before the climate change nor after the change, but in the middle.

Then the time point it describes is likely to be in the middle of the time.

[So the people who used to live here have left? 】

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

“Maybe.”

Bi Fang did not give a positive answer.

Beginning in 2500 BC, the Sahara has become a large desert in the same state as it is today, an insurmountable obstacle for humans at that time, with only a few inhabitants in the oasis.

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

And before all of this appears completely, there are naturally many people who make their own choices.

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

[Speaking of which, Fang Shen has discovered something incredible again]

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

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

“Archaeologists have found about 30,000 ancient petroglyphs in the desert, about half of which are in the En’Ajer plateau in southern Algeria, depicting animals in rivers, such as crocodiles.”

“There are many of them that have not been discovered, and what we have in front of us may be just one of them.”

“Probably not even one of them.”
