108: Chapter 108: Ancient Super Gene Technology and Astronomical Technology
Little Yu's question made the livestream viewers' eyes light up, as if they had grasped a lifeline!
"Clever, Little Yu, thumbs up!"
"Yeah, when were these unearthed? There are too many potential points for cheating here!"
"If they were discovered after World War II, they're definitely fakes!"
"They must be fake, otherwise this is just too terrifying!"
"..."
Clearly, most viewers still firmly adhered to materialism. How could there possibly be gene grafting over six thousand years ago?
At that moment, in the faculty residential area of Kyoto University of History.
The four professors also immediately straightened their old backs, their eyes burning as they stared at the screen.
As an ecology professor, this was the most reasonable point of doubt Liu Guangyi could think of.
As for test-tube babies from over six thousand years ago...
While astonishing and earth-shattering, it was simply too unbelievable and impossible to accept!
...
Inside Qingfeng Temple, in the living room.
Zheng Ming's eyes also lit up, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Exactly! It must be modern people randomly carving these things. Otherwise, there's no way to explain gene grafting existing over six thousand years ago!"
Beside him, Dr. Zhou Ming and Celestial Master Zhang also held their breath, waiting for the truth!
Under the gazes of everyone—filled with anticipation, doubt, curiosity, and even hope...
Jiang Zhe looked at his sister's staunchly materialist expression and couldn't help but smile.
His smile held a mix of helplessness and amusement at Little Yu's naivety.
"Little Yu, what you're asking is—if these were only unearthed in the last few decades, then it's possible they were artificially fabricated and carved after the emergence of modern science, right?"
"Exactly!" Little Yu straightened her back, declaring confidently, "My Steel Rain's materialist values shall never be shattered!"
Before Little Yu could continue her "speech," Jiang Zhe gently shook his head, directly shattering her resolve.
"Unfortunately!"
"The clay tablet fragments recording this content, along with the main body of the Sumerian King List, were actually discovered archaeologically in..."
He deliberately paused for a moment, watching Little Yu's beautiful eyes gradually widen.
"...the 1890s to the early 20th century, specifically between 1890 and 1900."
"Archaeologists at the Nippur site in southern Iraq had already discovered a large number of clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform, including records corresponding to myths and history."
"Later, there was an even larger-scale excavation—from 1922 to 1934, led by Sir Leonard Woolley, a Fu Nation archaeologist, at the ancient city site of Ur in Sumer."
"Those clay tablets that recorded the King List, the creation of humans, and the details of Sumerian Civilization's astronomy that I haven't mentioned yet... Little Yu, you can understand it as—they appeared, were unearthed, and translated into English before 1930!"
As Jiang Zhe's calm and methodical words fell.
In the living room, Little Yu's just-straightened steel-like posture froze, then gradually slumped.
Her expression shifted from confidence to horror within seconds!
"No, no, no!!!"
At that moment, in the livestream room, the fervor for debunking that had just ignited was instantly extinguished by this cold fact. The livestream room fell into a deathly silence once again!
All medical students, even doctors and biology students, were lost in stunned contemplation.
1890 to 1934.
You have to understand, humanity didn't even know about the DNA double helix structure back then—it was discovered in 1953 after instruments advanced.
People at that time had no concept of genes, let alone test-tube baby technology—that came in 1978.
Yet, the records on Sumerian stone tablets from over six thousand years ago, about mixing the blood of heaven with the soil of earth, and placing it into a sacred womb for cultivation...
Who?
And based on what kind of Advanced knowledge and insight were they carved?
For a moment, everyone was stunned. Materialist beliefs were gradually crumbling.
Because they couldn't find any reason to refute it!
At that moment, inside Qingfeng Temple.
Zheng Ming was utterly dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter any word of rebuttal.
Beside him, Dr. Zhou Ming took a deep breath, removed his glasses, his heart pounding uncontrollably. "Before 1930, the very concept and idea of test-tube babies hadn't even been born. Genetic engineering was pure fantasy. So, the genetic engineering on those clay tablets... the source of that knowledge..."
He stopped abruptly, not daring to imagine any further!
Celestial Master Zhang suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of Surprise light in his gaze. "It's not later generations making wild guesses, but ancestors recording facts!"
Inside Kyoto University of History.
The four old professors looked at each other, their previous confidence completely shattered in an instant.
At that moment, in the livestream room, the viewers began to stir.
"R-really?"
"No way, it can't be true, right? It's fake, isn't it?"
"Upstairs, I regret to inform you... what our bro said is true. Actually, he said it a bit late. The actual medical clay tablets were discovered between 1888 and 1900. The excavation of this tablet has a terrifyingly reality background: it was unearthed during the fourth Babylonian expedition organized by the University of Pennsylvania at the Nippur site. Its museum collection number is CBS14221. I visited it when I traveled before. It's a clay tablet from the Third Dynasty of Ur, inscribed around 4800 years ago. It includes the gene grafting our bro mentioned, described exactly as he said."
"???"
"!!!"
"WTF?"
"Damn, I asked you to explain, not to go along our bro in shattering my materialist worldview!!!"
"Ah, I want to go home, I want to go home!!!"
"..."
Most viewers, originally somewhat wavering and thinking Jiang Zhe was just being mysterious, treating it as a bedtime story.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a real Great God, a viewer who had actually traveled and seen it firsthand.
This made their materialist views crushed, hard to pick up again!
Instantly, over two hundred thousand viewers left the livestream room on the spot. With their materialism shattered, they trembled uncontrollably, It's estimated that it will be difficult to recover.!
"This!!!"
Old Chen, Old Wang, Old Qian, and Old Liu—the four professors—looked at the Bullet comments with tips, waves of Thriller washing over them one after another!
...
After a long while, on the screen.
Jiang Zhe looked at Little Yu, numbness by the cognitive Impact, and still didn't choose to stop.
"Little Yu, the perplexing aspects of Sumerian Civilization are far from limited to just the creation of humans."
He shifted the topic, switching the computer screen. "There's something even more Intuitive, even more impossible to explain by imagination or coincidence—their astronomical knowledge."
On the tablet screen.
Was a somewhat obsolete star chart with dot-and-line patterns from Sumerian Civilization clay tablets.
"Look at these star charts," his finger Slide starting from the Earth diagram. "They not only recorded the trajectories of the sun, the moon, and the five planets visible to the naked eye—Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn."
"In later, more advanced sacrificial clay tablets, there even appeared models of the Solar System's orbital trajectories."
He zoomed in on a section of one clay tablet—marked with two points using special cuneiform symbols, accompanied by orbital periods.
Little Yu shook her little dog-like head, her gaze fixed on the clay tablet image.
"These two points of General Size, after repeated confirmation and reverse calculation by modern scholars and astrophysicists..."
"...these two points are confirmed to be Uranus and Neptune!"
Saying this, his gaze fell on Little Yu, his voice gradually turning serious.
"Little Yu, you should know, these two planets are too far from the sun, their light is dim. On Earth, whether in modern or ancient times, they are invisible to the naked eye."
"Currently, the only observation and recording of Uranus and Neptune globally is on this Sumerian Civilization clay tablet."
"As for Uranus, it wasn't until 1781 that it was accidentally discovered by the Fu Nation astronomer William with his homemade telescope."
"And Neptune was calculated by the Fa Guo mathematician Le Verrier and the Fu Nation mathematician Adams through Uranus's orbital perturbations—meaning, interference from the sun's gravity on them."
"It wasn't until later, in 1846, that the Deguo astronomer Galle confirmed its Location using a telescope based on predicted coordinates."
"They only barely discovered these two planets back then. As for what color they were, even the big shots who discovered them didn't know!"
Looking at Little Yu's face again, wearing an expression of 'Who am I? What am I listening to? Is this helpful for my studies?'...
"Bro..."
"Calling me bro won't help. You were the one who asked your Brother to tell you this earlier." Jiang Zhe grinned, looking at the Collapse Little Yu, then his smile faded, turning serious. "However, in Sumerian Civilization, it was More than 6,000 years earlier!"
His fingers continued flipping, landing on a report from NASA's official website.
"This is a photo taken by NASA's Voyager 2 when it flew by Uranus in 1986!"
"This was the first time we modern humans saw Uranus's color up close: pale blue."
Then he Call up the photo of Neptune taken by Voyager 2 in 1989—an even more Azure!!!
"Look at Neptune, also blue, but a deeper shade—even with the most powerful telescopes on Earth, before spacecraft actually reached it, it was Vague, Unable to confirm!"
Having That concludes the story., Jiang Zhe's gaze fell on the clay tablet, his voice somewhat heavy.
"But, in Sumerian mythology, on the clay tablets, how did the Sumerians from over six thousand years ago describe the colors of those two distant planets?"
His finger pointed at the translated English next to the cuneiform, but his gaze was on the computer images of Neptune and Uranus.
"'It is like deep lapis lazuli, it resembles flawless azurite.'"
"Lapis lazuli and azurite!!"
Little Yu subconscious repeated, her beautiful eyes Staring intently the images of the two blue planets. A chill instantly Sweep her entire body!
"Little Yu, in Sumerian Civilization, lapis lazuli was very precious—a gem symbolizing the divine and the sky."
"What is its color?"
Jiang Zhe moved his finger, a slight smile playing on his lips. The computer screen immediately displayed a block-shaped image of lapis lazuli.
"Blue, and a mysterious shade of Deep Blue!" Little Yu's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the lapis lazuli image, exclaiming on the spot, "I, Steel Rain, holy crap!!!"
