24: Chapter 24: Why are global myths so surprisingly similar? The live stream exploded.

"Myths from our country, myths from foreign countries, myths from all over the world!"

"Regardless of whether these myths are true or false, a long time ago, when transportation was completely undeveloped."

"Why are global myths surprisingly consistent?"

"I won't go into more detail for now; I will explain it in future theology sessions."

"Let's just talk about the current archaeological evidence: the Sumerian tablets!"

"As far as we know, the Sumerian Civilization is one of the earliest civilizations of humanity—"

"The Sumerian tablets they unearthed list the first monarch as [Anunnaki]."

"The Anunnaki had an extremely long lifespan. Currently, in the archaeological and scientific communities, some say it was [a 360,000-year lifespan], though later data updated it to [100,000 years]. Most experts still believe that the Anunnaki possessed a lifespan of 360,000 years."

Jiang Zhe used a very suppressed and serious tone to recount the descent of gods in ancient times!

He drew hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream into ancient mysteries!

"Later, as time passed, the lifespans of those monarchs known as [deities] drastically plummeted—from hundreds of thousands of years to tens of thousands, then finally to ten thousand, and a thousand."

"It wasn't until after that famous global great flood occurred that the regime of the Sumerian Civilization finally fell into the hands of mortals."

"Eventually, it became the lifespan limit of ordinary people: a few decades!"

"Xiao Yu, don't you think that at the beginning, this was people from a higher civilization coming to Earth, and regardless of why they came, they ended up settling down on Earth?"

"After they settled down, the lifespans of those from the higher civilization staying on Earth gradually diluted—later, before the great flood, they either left or went into hiding, and only then did they hand over the management of civilization to the indigenous people of Earth, right?"

Having said this, Jiang Zhe's firm voice fell silent, giving Xiao Yu and the audience time to think.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was completely dumbfounded.

After a brief silence, the livestream was completely blown away!

"Hiss... holy crap, the streamer's brother even knows about Sumerian?"

"Something's not right. I feel like I've heard this theory somewhere before. Is there any evidence?"

"To the person above, yes, there is, there damn well is! I checked the data and research papers. The Sumerian tablets there do indeed clearly record the lifespans of the monarchs, from hundreds of thousands of years to tens of thousands, then thousands, until after the great flood, it became a hundred years or a few decades!"

"Holy crap, I just checked too. It's too damn terrifying!"

"Good heavens, if this is true, then aliens haven't just come to Earth for the first time."

"If the lifespans of the deities on those tablets are real... then, the 57th hexagram of the tui bei tu... damn, I'm starting to get goosebumps!"

"I dare not imagine how much we actually know about this world."

In an instant, because of Jiang Zhe's few words, this livestream reached the peak of traffic for the night!

At this moment, Xiao Yu's cherry lips were already wide open, and her vision was trembling wildly!

Her brother had combined the Sumerian King List with the interpretation of aliens... completely subverting her view of history!

She swallowed hard, and looking at her brother's serious expression, she felt even more horrified!

At this moment, in the home of this retired professor in Kyoto, inside a study room with an antique atmosphere.

He had originally scoffed at Jiang Zhe's interpretation of the tui bei tu regarding [aliens].

Until the keywords "Sumerian Civilization," "Sumerian King List," and "Anunnaki" were dropped...

His whole body went numb, and the hand holding his phone trembled slightly...

"The Sumerian King List, the pioneer rulers of early Mesopotamian civilization."

"There is indeed a lot of controversy in the current academic world!"

"It's basically a 50-50 split between aliens and indigenous Earthlings."

"And this is indeed a [historical mystery] that the archaeological community cannot explain."

"Could it be that this Sumerian King List doesn't record myths, but the truth?"

"If that's the case... then the [three-foot child] in the 57th hexagram of the tui bei tu!!!"

Thinking of this, the old professor's hand couldn't stop trembling. Aliens... perhaps they really haven't just descended to Earth for the first time!

Inside the teacher's dormitory.

"My god, the Sumerian King List, the Anunnaki..."

Old Wu's breathing gradually became rapid. As a history teacher, he naturally knew about these secret anecdotes!

He had originally thought it was just an insignificant foreign secret anecdote; he hadn't expected that someone would actually bring it up to discuss!

"If all of this is true, and the 'Heaven' of the Sumerian Civilization is the Anunnaki; then what is the 'Heaven' of our Huaxia?"

Teacher Zhao, who was beside him, woke up from his shock and took a deep breath. "Could the 'Heaven' of Huaxia really be Nüwa, Fuxi, or something like that?"

"But isn't Nüwa the female from ancient tribal legends, the mother of the tribe who was mythologized because women were considered too great?"

Teacher Wang was the calmest. "Perhaps our thinking is still limited within a framework. If we jump out of this framework, then many unsolved mysteries will receive reasonable answers as our knowledge and experience improve!"

The three of them couldn't help but admire Jiang Zhe—his breadth of thinking was extremely vast!

Just as the three teachers were falling into self-doubt, inside the operations department of the Dougu Platform, it was already bustling with noise!

"Hahahaha, it broke, it finally broke!" A junior operator pointed excitedly at the data chart in front of Operator Wang's computer.

They saw that the data chart in Xiao Yu's livestream was showing an irreplicable, skyrocketing trend, surging upwards!

Finally, it broke through the 1-million mark, and the momentum was still rising!

And the gift data had already reached the limit for an ordinary small streamer: 150,000 yuan!!!

Inside the large operations department hall, there was a moment of silence, followed by an even greater explosion of noise!

"Holy crap, a million viewers online!" "My god, how long has it been since the entertainment section had a non-official activity livestream with a million viewers?" "Operator Wang has struck it rich; when one person gets promoted, all their followers benefit!"

"The servers are running out of capacity, and the barrage is all about the descending aliens and the aliens in the Sumerian King List!"

The 24-year-old Operator Wang looked at the 1-million online viewer mark with trembling eyes! He felt his heart stop at that moment!

It wasn't that he hadn't seen big scenes before, but that a livestream originally for dancing had turned into a Sinology livestream... and by relying on the gimmicks of the tui bei tu and the Sumerian King List with aliens, it had broken through the million mark in a short time. This undoubtedly proved that this path was correct!

"My god!" He ran his hands through his hair, his face full of disbelief.

A young operator beside him gasped and asked, "Are this Sumerian King List and the Anunnaki real?" "Is the history I learned in school just an abridged version?"

A thirty-something-year-old operator walked over, looked at the data, and exclaimed repeatedly: "I previously thought Jiang Zhe's interpretation was just a bit of a gimmick, but this time, the gimmick strangely reveals a sense of rationality!" "Now this is no longer challenging Sinology, but combining Sinology with mysticism... and then challenging the cognition of ordinary humans!!!"

Operator Wang didn't have time to pay attention to them. He took a few deep breaths and calmed down: "Quick, don't just stand there, guys, do me a favor!" "Have the server room add a server for this livestream, otherwise if a million viewers experience a glitch..." "We'll all be held accountable!" "Do me another favor, record this segment about the Sumerian King List and the tui bei tu, put it on the platform, and promote it as a priority. Stabilizing the traffic is key!"

Subsequently, the junior operators on the side all got busy. What followed was a massive amount of reports. Thousands of viewers reported Xiao Yu's Brother for suspected propaganda... [It's fake, it's fake, he's promoting something fake!] [It's completely fake, hurry up and ban Xiao Yu's livestream!] [Xiao Yu is just a borderline streamer, she's involved in pornographic content, and it's a deliberate script!] [You'd better ban her livestream, or I'm going to report you to the Cyberspace Administration!] [...]

A massive amount of foul language followed one after another. Operator Wang looked at the reports, his head aching. One moment he was excited, and the next, he was frustrated.

Supervisor Liu, who was standing behind him, was also full of surprise. "Interesting, I didn't expect that combining Sinology and mysticism could actually break a million!"

"Ah, Supervisor Liu, why are you here?" Hearing the voice, Operator Wang turned his head and looked at the supervisor, who was standing with his arms crossed.

Operator Wang's expression was a bit awkward, "Supervisor, there are so many reports..."

But unexpectedly, Supervisor Liu gave a cold laugh, "Whoever hinders us from making money together is our enemy." "Right now, those reporters are our enemies." "Who can prove that Jiang Zhe is wrong?"

"Right now, you'd better maintain the relationship with Xiao Yu; her volume comes entirely from her brother, Jiang Zhe." "If it weren't for her brother, she would still be that streamer dancing to subsidize her family—no, she wouldn't even count as a streamer."

"Also, for future advertisements, distribute more to her." "A million-viewer livestream won't last long; it will definitely drop later, so don't get too excited!"

"Yes!"

On the screen, Jiang Zhe looked at Xiao Yu, who had just reacted from the shock, and asked with a serious face: "Now, Xiao Yu, do you still think a [three-foot child] has the ability to make the world stop fighting?"

Xiao Yu, hugging her teddy bear pillow, took a deep breath, and her beautiful eyes also woke up from the shock. "Yes!!!"
