300: Chapter 300: The Entire Internet is Shocked

First, a Weibo-certified cultural scholar and author of "Exploring Lost Civilizations," a blogger named "Traces of Civilization," posted a long article.

"As expected, my feed was flooded by Xiao Yu's Brother again tonight; or rather, Brother Jiang. As a veteran of the Qing Dynasty who has studied ancient civilizations for twenty years, I used to sneer at these new discoveries online. But tonight, I made an exception and watched the replay."

"After watching it, I only want to say three things."

"First, I have researched byrd diaries. It does indeed exist, and there are archives in the USA Navy Archives."

"Second, the records regarding the subterranean world in global mythology are numerous enough to write a book of ten million words and its expansions."

"Third, if there really is an isolated oasis civilization in Antarctica, then human history might truly need to be rewritten."

"I, personally, support these claims!"

"..."

This article was more than just that; it was primarily a crucial interpretation of Jiang Zhe's topics.

Fans who finished reading the entire text instantly flooded the comment section with thousands of messages.

"Teacher, you also watch Big Brother's livestream?"

"Teacher, you've been turned into a fan!"

"Please give us a detailed analysis of byrd diaries, Teacher!"

"Teacher, have you researched the Hopi Tribe legends? Did they really say their ancestors came from underground?"

"I seriously suspect now that the history we learned is the abridged version!"

"..."

Immediately after, a Weibo-certified PhD in Physics and science popularization blogger named "Schrödinger's Cat Food" also posted a message.

"As someone in theoretical physics, I'm usually not very interested in things like archaeology or mythology; I generally post on Zhihu."

"But I found the threshold for Zhihu to be a bit high, so I came to Weibo; I found that followers grow very quickly here, mainly because I can do live-commerce."

"I recommend..."

"Alright, back to the main topic. Tonight, the data showing that the latitude of the Pyramids equals the speed of light forced me to take notice."

"The latitude of the Pyramid of Khufu is 29.979250°N. Multiplying it by 10 to the 7th power equals 299,792,500. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters/second."

"The error is only 42, or 0.014%."

"This level of precision is not easy to measure even with modern instruments. How did the Ancient Egyptians over four thousand years ago do it?"

"If it's not a coincidence, then there is only one explanation: they knew the speed of light."

"How did they know the speed of light? I used mathematics and physics to perform some in-depth calculations..."

"..."

With dozens of screenshots of hand-written mathematical and physical formulas uploaded, along with over a thousand words of text, the post finally concluded.

After this Weibo post was sent, the comment section also instantly exploded.

"Even Teacher Xue was alerted?"

"Even a Physics PhD has come out to take a side?"

"So the Ancient Egyptians really knew the speed of light?"

"Then who taught them this knowledge?"

"Atlantis!"

"It might not necessarily be Atlantis. Could it be people from a super-ancient civilization?"

"Who knows!"

"..."

Soon, a Weibo-certified history professor focusing on ancient history research, a blogger named "Sourcing the Yin and Shang," also posted a long article.

"The content shared by Xiao Yu's Brother tonight has made this old man so excited he can't sleep."

"I have previously written papers on the subterranean worlds in global myths."

"Egypt's Duat, Ancient Greece's Underworld, Norse mythology's Niflheim, our country's Diyu, and those records in the 'classic of mountains and seas' about things [below there is xx]; if we treat all of these as eyewitness reports rather than myths, everything makes sense."

"Especially the part about Nüwa Mending the Heavens. I've researched ancient myths for thirty years, and this is the first time I've heard an interpretation from this angle."

"If the Earth's crust is the 'sky' for the subterranean world, then Nüwa was mending the crust, and Mount Buzhou was the pillar of the subterranean world. This explanation perfectly fits the records of the Great Flood."

"The Great Flood descriptions initially involve the subterranean world. If that's the case, then the [Moon] factor isn't needed."

"Because the subterranean world was flooded first, and then the seawater surged back to submerge the surface."

"In this way, the shattering of Mount Buzhou might have been a war between subterranean kingdoms in the ancient era, which finally caused the flood to pour back onto the surface."

"This point is very novel and unforgettable!"

"I suggest all friends interested in ancient history go watch the recording. One sentence from your Big Brother might be the most subversive viewpoint of the last decade."

In the comment section:

"Even Teacher Yin has spoken; this matter isn't simple!"

"Even a history professor has come out to endorse it. I have to take this seriously."

"So Nüwa really could be a subterranean person!"

"Are there still people in the subterranean world now?"

"There must be, but can we see them? Perhaps the governments of various countries have known for a long time?"

"..."

As time passed, at one in the morning on a short video platform:

Science popularization blogger "Science White" went online again.

He posted a video tonight, and the view count exceeded a million as usual.

Title one: "Nüwa Mended the Earth's Crust? The Subterranean World in Global Mythology."

In the frame, the blogger Science White sat in front of the camera, with a whiteboard covered in notes behind him.

"Family, I've also been pondering the new interpretation of Nüwa Mending the Heavens that Xiao Yu's Brother talked about tonight. It's very ingenious, even if he only mentioned it in a few sentences!"

He picked up a marker and drew a simple diagram on the whiteboard—

The ocean was on top, the Earth's crust below it, and below that was a hollow subterranean world; further down were the normal rock layers.

"Let's first understand a concept: if the Earth is hollow, to what extent is it hollow?"

"According to my geological structure calculations, it can't be completely hollow, but partially hollow. What does that mean? It means a part of the underground is empty, and that empty part must have a rock structure pillar. For example, the [Mount Buzhou] mentioned by the history professor on Weibo. Mount Buzhou could be the [pillar]. If [Mount Buzhou collapsed], that part of the void would be covered by rock, and the upper layer of seawater would pour down..."

"In this way, the collapse of Mount Buzhou is practically a realistic account rather than a myth."

"Back to the topic, the Earth's crust is the sky to the people of the subterranean world. What does 'the sky collapsed' mean? It means the crust cracked."

"What was Nüwa mending? She was mending the cracks in the Earth's crust."

"Why did it need mending? Because seawater was pouring in through the cracks. This is the true source of the global Great Flood!"

He looked at the camera with a serious expression:

"And this explanation corresponds perfectly with global mythology."

"Ancient Egypt said the Sun God passes through the subterranean world every day, Ancient Greece said the Underworld is underground, the Norse said the kingdom of the dead is underground, and our country says Diyu is underground. They are all saying the same thing: there are people underground; it's just that they aren't necessarily [dead people]!"

As the video ended, the comment section completely boiled over!

*Hiss*~~ There are people underground, and they aren't dead, they're freaking alive!

"So the Underworld in myths isn't a place where dead people go, but a place where living people live?"

"Damn, so it's partially hollow. I really thought it was completely empty."

"I believe it. This I believe. It must be partially hollow, otherwise the ground would have collapsed long ago."

"I even suspect that the reason for the partially hollow underground is that they used to live on the surface too, but later found the surface to be full of disasters and fled underground. How safe it is underground; besides earthquakes, the underground completely avoids meteorite strikes."

"Damn, I seriously suspect that the underground is where biological beings are supposed to live, not the surface. The surface is so full of disasters!"

"Don't say anymore, my scalp is tingling, it's really tingling!"

"..."

Soon, another post became popular. It was by a retired professor of history and mythology who had personally visited the USA Navy Archives, named "Ancient Cultivator," which completely set off the trending search for the Antarctic City on Weibo.
