From the Island Owner to the King

Also, more than 2 million years ago, the stone utensils made by Homo erectus who lived here, the ash layer left by the fire, the leftover animal bones, and the remains of Homo erectus, and what Chen Rui wanted most Found skull of Homo erectus.

To unearth these, you can only find them by going to the places where Homo erectus once lived and inhabited.

The four of Li Wanhao stood in front of the rock wall watching the petroglyphs, took out their mobile phones, and the camera kept shooting the patterns of the petroglyphs.

Chen Rui turned and left the rock wall, intending to find the place where Homo erectus once lived and inhabited nearby.

This place shouldn't be too far away.

Because, given the circumstances at that time, the surrounding environment where Homo erectus lived, the jungle beasts were frequent, and there were no "advanced" means of transportation such as horses and boats, the scope of human activities at that time was not too wide.

This place should be under a cliff that shelters from wind and rain, or in a cave that is safer, warm, and able to defend against beasts.

Chen Rui began to look around.

Walking on the rugged and steep Gobi, full of rocks, cliffs, and bare rock peaks, Chen Rui walked like a fly.

After searching nearby for more than two hours, I found no cliffs or caves where Homo erectus lived.

However, there was also a surprising discovery.

On a rock wall, water seeps out from the cracks of the rock wall, flows down the rock wall, and flows to the ground, forming a small puddle on the ground. The puddle is not large, and the area is about a few square meters. , the water is crystal clear.

Finding water in the desert is a big surprise for anyone.

Water in the desert represents life and the hope of survival. This is by no means a lie.

The five set off from Matrouh. With more than a dozen buckets of water, these dozen buckets of water alone take up nearly half of the space of the two cars.

During this time, water was replenished in Bedouin villages.

The daily consumption of water is still very high.

Drink water, cook, cook. Simply wash and wait for water.

Five people try to save water as much as possible, and even when they wash their faces, several people share a basin of water.

The five of them took a bath for four or five days.

The body is greasy and the body is sweaty and sour, no one should laugh at anyone. Everyone is the same.

Now that the water source is discovered, everyone can finally have a luxury.

Chen Rui walked over quickly.

Some disappointed Chen Rui.

Chen Rui found a lot of animal footprints and feces next to the small puddle.

Normally, where there is water, there is absolutely no way to hide it from the desert residents living here.

Although the water looks very clear and very clean.

But Chen Rui knew. This water is not drinkable, it is polluted by animal feces, which is not only dirty, but also contains a lot of pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.

Drinking water containing pathogenic bacteria can not only cause diarrhea. Dysentery, various diseases, and severe dehydration. The body is weak, and in this situation in the desert, it is definitely not far from death.

Still, something is better than nothing.

The water on the rock wall is clean and not polluted.

Not only drinkable, this water is definitely the best quality mineral water in the world. The water flows through the rock formations and is rich in various minerals that are beneficial to the body.

Chen Rui fixed the bottle in his hand on the rock wall. Drop by drop of water into the bottle, after two hours. The bottle can be filled.

Leaving the bottle here, Chen Rui continued to search.

Chen Rui had good luck again, and finally let him discover a cave about 4,500 meters away from the water source.

Chen Rui is not sure whether this cave is a cave where Homo erectus lived here for more than 2 million years.

Chen Rui intends to go into the cave to investigate.

Maybe the water source here is more abundant, of course, relatively speaking.

The vegetation here is very lush.

Overgrown with shrubs such as flower sticks, bachelor trees, and sand jujube, very dense.

Chen Rui walked into the cave.

Here is a natural cave.

Someone lived there, for sure.

On the wall of the cave, we can see some cutting and cutting marks of sharp tools, as well as some traces of regular lines and symbols that are obviously left by people.

The further you go, the more certain you become.

On the wall of the cave, there are still traces of smoke and fire.

Chen Rui is almost certain that this is the cave where Homo erectus once lived more than 2 million years ago.

Chen Rui also found something special.

Someone has been in the cave.

On the ground, there were camel hoof prints, human footprints, ashes that were not soiled, firewood left over from burning, bones of unknown animals, food scraps, and a piece of wrapping paper.

Chen Rui guessed that it was likely that a traveler from the desert, or a camel caravan had discovered this place long ago, and regarded it as a 'posting station' for rest and recuperation.

After all, there is a water source less than 4,500 meters away from here.

Now it is basically determined that this cave is the cave where Homo erectus lived here more than 2 million years ago.

Chen Rui began to purposefully look for traces of their existence.

A discovery that is bound to shock the world will also unravel the mists of history.

More than 2 million years, compared to the age of the earth's 4.6 billion years, is only a very short time.

Yes, for human beings, it is an extremely long, long time.

For more than 2 million years, the changes to the earth have been vicissitudes.

More than 2 million years ago, the Sahara Desert was a green grassland, and now it has become an endless desert.

More than 2 million years ago, Mount Everest was only more than 4,000 meters, and now it is 8,848 meters. In fact, Mount Everest more than 40 million years ago was still a vast ocean.

This is the vicissitudes of life.

Similarly, here has also experienced vicissitudes of life.

The traces of the life of Homo erectus for more than 2 million years were sunk to a depth of more than ten meters due to geological changes, as well as the accumulation of dust and soil.

Chen Rui performed the earth escape technique and drilled into the ground.

Soon, a very big discovery was made.

Chen Rui made many discoveries at a depth of 14 meters above the ground.

The first thing to find is some round, square fire pits.

In Chen Rui's sight, the ash layer of the fire pit was very different from the soil.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of stoneware, carbonized woodware, and some shells were found.

Chen Rui was overjoyed at the discovery of the shell, which was an amazing discovery.

Although it was just some shells, a lot of information was revealed to Chen Rui, and it also revealed a secret that shocked the world.

For one, this Homo erectus tribe came from the sea, because only the sea has such shells.

Second, there is a large river nearby, connecting the Mediterranean Sea, or the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Homo erectus here migrated to this place far from the sea through the large river.

In fact, Chen Rui has long guessed that there was a big river not far from the vicinity, in more than 2 million years. (To be continued)
