316: Chapter 316: Is it a Stargate?

"Holy crap, Annu and Akki equals Anunnaki?"

"So the Hopi Tribe calls the Anunnaki the friends of the ants?"

"Why are they called friends of the ants? That's because ants live underground!!"

"Damn, this logic holds up again. I knew mysterious things happened in ancient times; modern information is too heavily censored!"

"There's some in South America, and in North America too. This is all over the Americas!"

"..."

The live stream chat was flooded with messages, and the number of online viewers climbed again, about to break the 30 million mark.

On the big screen, Jiang Zhe continued to operate the tablet, "Xiao Yu, take a look at this too."

Xiao Yu took the tablet and lowered her head to browse.

On the screen was an ancient rock mural of the Hopi Tribe.

The mural depicted many small figures; some were working on the ground, while others were emerging from the earth.

In the very center, a huge figure was carved, overlooking the crowd around it.

"The Hopi Tribe's mural gives us the answer directly: where the Anunnaki, or the friends of the ants, actually came from."

He pointed to the bottom of the mural, where a huge cave entrance was depicted, with several humanoid creatures emerging from it.

"They came from—"

Jiang Zhe suddenly grinned, "Underground."

Xiao Yu was so stunned by her brother's statement that her mouth fell open. Underground, underground—civilization and the underground had appeared most frequently in her brother's lessons.

Could it be that, a long time ago, advanced civilizations really were all underground?

At this moment, in the live stream, the netizens were unsettled once again.

"Underground, it's f*cking underground again!"

"Antarctic underground, Gray alien underground, and now the Annu are also underground?"

"So what exactly is down there!"

"Damn it, could the Earth really be partially hollow? Otherwise, how do global myths, and even history, all have references to the underground!"

"Those lost civilizations must have all gone underground!"

"This logic is a closed loop!"

"..."

Kyoto, University of History faculty housing.

Professor Chen Runzhi stood up abruptly from the sofa, still shaking his head in disbelief, "Underground, it's the eerie underground again!"

"The Antarctic byrd diaries talk about the underground, the Gray alien legends talk about the underground, and now the Anunnaki also point to the underground."

"It's making me unconfident in studying and teaching history, because there's just too much of it."

"This isn't a legend from the last hundred years, but a rumor from over ten thousand years ago."

"It must have been spectacular back then!"

Old Chen took a deep breath and looked at the three people, "If only one civilization said so, it might be imagination, but all civilizations say so."

Professor Wang Shouren took over, "That just goes to show that there must be something underground."

After a long while, Old Chen sighed, "It's a pity, the country won't spend so much money to dig in useless places; digging a kilometer deep underground costs billions. Who can prove there's something down there?"

Qian Mingyi suddenly laughed, "Even if there was information and evidence, no one would dare to dig. What if something really was dug up?"

If something were really dug up, humanity's thousands of years of cognition would be completely shattered.

...

Huaqing University, Physics Department professor dormitory.

Ouyang Baili looked at the screen, his gaze deep, "Underground? So those gods didn't leave Earth, they went down?"

Professor Wu Ming couldn't help but ask the three, "Do you think they are still down there now?"

Professor Guan said instead: "If they are, what must they be feeling as they watch us struggling on the surface for thousands of years?"

Li Mo said inappropriately: "Probably just like watching ants."

The four of them looked at each other, increasingly curious about these miraculous events.

On the big screen, it took a long time for Xiao Yu to recover from the shock of the underground.

On second thought, she couldn't help but point to the stone in the tablet and ask,

"Brother, are these stones really used to create humans? But I feel like stones have absolutely nothing to do with creating humans."

"Stones are so hard and heavy, how can you create humans?"

"Breaking stones into pieces and piling them into human shapes would just turn them into statues, but statues aren't people."

One question expressed the curiosity of the netizens and countless teachers and experts.

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, picked up the tablet, and operated it.

"Good question!"

"Actually, modern archaeologists and some interdisciplinary scholars have also been thinking about this question—what exactly are these stones used for?"

Before long, he pulled up an archaeological paper from Europe, covered in dense data and charts.

"What I've found now is a study done by a European archaeological team; they used 3D scanning technology to scan every scattered stone block at Puma Punku, and then performed a one-to-one digital restoration according to the original proportions, as well as a physical restoration."

He handed the tablet to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at the screen, which showed a set of computer-generated images and physical comparison charts.

Those H-shaped stone blocks that were originally scattered everywhere were pieced together one by one.

Looking at the physical assembly diagram, the white H-shaped stones were all spliced together seamlessly, finally turning into a huge, complete structure, which seemed to be a frame.

Just as Xiao Yu was watching, entranced, Jiang Zhe's voice came, "What does it look like?"

Xiao Yu blurted out: "Lego?!"

Jiang Zhe nodded: "Correct, exactly like Lego."

He took the tablet and continued to flip through the pictures, showing more assembly results.

"These stones can all be pieced together; every groove corresponds to a protrusion, every notch corresponds to a slot; they are scattered architectural components."

He used two fingers to zoom in on one of the pictures, pointing at the structure that had already been assembled.

"Archaeologists speculate that this is highly likely the frame of a door."

"A door?"

"Yes, a door." Jiang Zhe spoke softly: "Look at this structure, there are symmetrical pillars on both sides, and a lintel on top; and the middle is empty, just right for people to pass through. If you restore this piece alone, the height of this restored door is about..."

He glanced at the data in the paper, "10 meters, and the largest lintel stone weighs 100 tons."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but gasp, "A 100-ton door frame?"

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and continued to slide through several pictures, "Actually, there isn't just one, look at this."

Another assembly result appeared on the tablet, the shape was exactly the same, but the overall size was smaller.

"This is another door, about 5 meters high."

"This is the third one, about 2 meters high."

"This is the fourth one, about 1 meter high."

"This is the fifth one, about 0.5 meters high."

Xiao Yu looked at the stone doors of various sizes on the tablet and couldn't help but ask: "Why are there such small doors? Half a meter high, doors for dwarves, right?"

Jiang Zhe did not answer this question, nodded slightly, and began to ask back, "Xiao Yu, if these are doors, why would the Anunnaki build so many doors here?"

"Xiao Yu, count how many doors are in this picture, doors of all sizes, from 10 meters high down to 0.5 meters high."

Xiao Yu counted, "One, two, three, four, five, five doors?"

"Yes, they are five doors of different sizes, but the structure is exactly the same."

He looked at Xiao Yu, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, "What do you think these look like, and what do you think they are used for?"

Xiao Yu rested her chin on her hand, her thoughts racing, but after thinking for a long time, she shook her head.

"I can't figure it out."

"Combine the local legend of [creating humans] with this [door] and think about it."

With her brother's hint, Xiao Yu took the tablet and browsed and imagined meticulously.

Door, creating humans.

What is the relationship between a door and creating humans?

In the live stream, the netizens also began to think frantically.

"A door and creating humans, there's no connection, right?"

"Unless it's the door to a delivery room, but that's too big. A 10-meter high delivery room, giving birth to Aliens?"

"That door is a passage!"

"What does a passage have to do with creating humans?"

"It's definitely not what you're saying, there's a deeper meaning!"

"..."

Clearly, the netizens were also furrowing their brows, finding no connection between the door and creating humans.

In Principal Fu's office, even the astronomy teacher Ren Xiaoyao frowned, unable to think of any possibilities.

Facing the pleas of Old Fu, Old Wang, and Xiao Wang, Ren Xiaoyao shook his head with regret, indicating he didn't know.

At this time, Kyoto, Qingfeng Temple.

Zheng Ming looked at the screen with a grim expression.

The image in front of him gradually went white, and he fell into deep thought.

Recently, he had been cramming a lot of scientific knowledge, and even read quite a few sci-fi theories.

It was all to debunk Jiang Zhe, but every time he spoke to refute, the professors he invited would use more professional knowledge to refute him, which made him look like a clown.

In just a short while, various thoughts collided frantically in his mind.

He looked at Wen Jingqiu and found that the professor was not speaking, just looking at the screen in deep thought.

He might as well think for himself.

He pressed the voice button on his phone and began to think.

"A door, creating humans—according to scientific common sense, it is impossible for a door to be used to create humans."

"Doors are used for goods and people to enter and exit, not for production."

"But the natives in South America 17,000 years ago all said this was a place for creating humans; the natives aren't stupid, they know what doors are used for, but since they said [creating humans], it must be related to [humans]."

"If the Anunnaki really existed, then in the eyes of the natives, what did they see after seeing these huge gates?"

He rested his chin on his right hand, his eyes shifting, trying to substitute himself into the natives' worldview.

"I don't understand science, I don't understand biology, I don't understand chemistry, I only see that the Anunnaki built many doors, I see those huge stone doors."

Just then, Celestial Master Zhang said unintentionally, "A door is originally used for entering and exiting; if people enter, then people exit; if goods enter, goods can also exit."

As the words fell, Zheng Ming suddenly lifted his head and straightened his chest, the haze in front of him swept away, and his mind felt much clearer...

"If people enter, then people exit!"

He repeated this sentence, his pupils gradually shrinking.

"If I were a native 17,000 years ago, I wouldn't be able to understand these large and small stone doors; if they saw someone walking out of the door, not walking in, but walking out, what would they think?"

"They would think that humans were created from the door, not that people just walked out."

"Because every time the door opened, someone must come out from inside!"

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, as if he had discovered something.

"If I were an alien, and my scientific technology was sufficient, and I went to an unfamiliar area and found that the temperature was suitable, the climate was nice, resources were abundant, and there was a lot of natural gold that I needed."

"Then I would tell my clansmen, 'Brothers, come to my place, this is a good place!'"

"But my clansmen are very, very far away from me, light-years away, dozens of light-years away, how can they come over?"

As the words fell, Zheng Ming suddenly widened his eyes, his vision trembling, "I know!"

Celestial Master Zhang and Wen Jingqiu looked at him at the same time, full of curiosity.

Zheng Ming couldn't suppress his excitement and gave the answer:

"It's a star gate!"
