Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The king of Lagash, Gudea received an urgent report from the city-state warriors!

    A huge mythical beast with four wings, six arms, fat like a red pocket, which has never been seen before, landed near the city wall of Lagash, perched on the edge of the village, and this beast also brought  A divine bull that looks like the bull of the sky!

    There was an atmosphere of panic in the city-state, but some people were excited. They vowed on the street that they saw the return of the bull of heaven. The bull of heaven that had been killed since the time of Gilgamesh was resurrected.  The halo of stars once again shines over Lagash!

    "On the body of that divine beast, there is a person whom I have never seen before"

    People in the Sumer region also have yellow skin, black hair, and big beards, but their face shape and skin color are still very different from those of the ancient people in the mountains and seas of the East. Even if everyone has black hair and black eyes, they can also be easily identified  It turns out that the other party is not from their known world.

    Gudea put on a dress made of reeds and goat hair, and a leather cloak for war, studded with yellow brass studs; he took off his ramskin cap and put on his brass helmet,  The bronze-colored and strong arm clenched its own weapon, which was a gilded sickle sword, with a bow and arrow on its back, and a dagger made of gold was caressing its waist, and the dagger handle made of lapis lazuli exuded a deep blue luster.

    He walked out of the gate of Lagash City with the guards.

    He took the lead, and the chariot he drove was at the forefront of many warriors. This spirit originated from Ennatum, the king of Lagash in the past.  In the process of fighting Uma City, he was shot by the enemy's arrows, and he still took the lead in charging after pulling out the arrows.

    Of course, it was not horses that pulled their chariots.

    Instead, there are four donkeys, and there are bright red ropes and reed clothes hanging around their necks.

    In this era, the donkey, which was regarded as a "strange beast" in the East, was widely seen in Central Asia and West Asia, and was valued as a chariot tool animal in ancient times, and its function was the same as that of a horse.

    And their chariots are not so advanced in shape compared to those in the east. The wheels are also solid wooden wheels, but they are reinforced with two card slots, so that the wooden wheels will not crack easily.  , this is much better than Danzhu's design, but not as good as Xi Zhong's design. Even in the normal historical plane, the wheel with spokes made by Xi Zhong is also much stronger than this solid wooden wheel  up.

    And the chariot itself is more like a large box without a lid that can be pulled away. In front of the box is a tall shield that is integrated with the chariot and stands tall.

    Gudea, the king of Lagash, finally saw Dijiang living on the plain not far away.

    The huge overlord-level beast was something he had never seen before, and the divine bull was indeed very similar to the bull of heaven.

    Gudea approached with his weapon in hand, with many attendants by his side, followed closely, and saw the concubine who was drawing a map of the city-state.

    The dress of the other party is indeed completely different from that of Lagash. The clothes on his body are not reed skirts, but linen, but it is different from the local linen, which is a layer of white.

    As for the material of the layer of clothes inside the sackcloth, you can¡¯t see what it is made of at all, but it is very beautiful. The dark blue lining also depicts some strange textures, even if you look at it from a distance, you can know it.  That material is extremely breathable.

    The opponent's lower garment is khaki, which is not the same color as the upper garment, and the part covered by the clothing is close to the knees, and below the knee is leather, which is separated from the lower garment to protect the calf, and the boots worn under the calf are also leather  Made, looks very thick.

    The other party's hair is tied up, and there is a little yellow chicken on his head. I don't know what is the special custom?

    The clothes on the arms are also protected by leather.  At the same time, it is carrying a huge leather package, which looks extremely heavy.  This person is standing on the plain, looking at the city-state of Lagash, holding a strange thin object in his hand, making the movement of engraving. He doesn't seem to care about the arrival of his own troops, and he doesn't care at all.  reaction.

    People in Sumer did not know the existence of paper. In fact, in the long past, the ancient Egyptians invented papyrus in the third millennium BC. It was 800 years ago from this time, and it happened to be the king of Shennong.  when.

    However, papyrus is not real paper, and it is a natural and easily processed writing material. Interestingly, the source of papyrus can only be sedge, which only grows in large areas near the Nile River, so when the Egyptian area  sedge extinct?, the craft of papyrus was lost.

    And its production method is also very simple, just pick and peel the sedge, peel the inner core into thin slices, lay them cross-stacked, flatten and dry, and then it becomes papyrus.

    The writing tools depend on the natural materials that can be found. Egypt has sedge, so there is papyrus. There is no sedge in the East, so there is bamboo silk. Writing words on bamboo slips and white silk can be passed down, and the Sumerian region  On the other hand, clay tablets are used. They can write very small characters, even thousands of characters can be written on a small clay tablet.

    But now what I hold in my hand is real paper. Of course, the east is now using bamboo paper, which is cheaper, durable and faster to produce than grass paper. Bamboo can be recycled and used, so bamboo paper is cheap.  In line with the demand for large-area supply in the market.

    However, there is no environment for bamboo growth in Central Asia and West Asia, and this plant is almost invisible here.

    Gudeya looked at Concubine's attire, and then looked at his own attire, it was completely different. He rarely felt a little embarrassed, because the other party's attire was amazing, while his attire was quite different.  It seems a little crude and simple.

    "Who are you, and where did you come to Lagash? Tell me why you came. If you are the enemy, you will not be able to leave."

    Gudeya asked the chariot driver to drive the chariot not far in front of Yuzai, and asked, very vigilant, after all, if the person in front of him is hostile, then today's battle will not be easy

    A powerful aura gradually exuded from him.

    There is no doubt that this is a heroic king, who should be called a "great man" in the local area, and his strength is much stronger than ordinary heroes.

    And to be able to rebuild the city-state of Lagash that was destroyed by the Akkadians in the dark age at this time, and let the people here live a stable life, the kings of these generations of Lagash have powerful abilities.  Strength.

    Being able to have such a stable place to settle down in the troubled times will naturally attract more people, and it will also attract many strong people.

    Yan Zai could not understand the local language. After all, he had learned very little from Naboo, but it could be seen that the person who was asking the question in front of him had a high status. Yan Zai took out a piece of paper with crooked Chinese pronunciation on the side.

    These are all translations of Naboo's words. I know their meanings, but I don't know how to extend them. I just read them according to the scriptures. They are about "I have reached the other side of the mountains of the sun", "The light of wisdom shines in the east", "  Naboo greets the King of Lagash in the Land of the Great Han".

    And among the short sentences, there is a very important sentence.

    "The fat belly is dead"

    The red sheep.
