The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Along with Christopher Bell and Marseille Saros, besides an assistant, there was a middle-aged white man who looked like he could be in his 50s.

If you are not wrong, this should be the Inca history and culture expert mentioned by Bell.

At this end, seeing the big Boss eating under the big awning, the two Bells immediately came here with the middle-aged man. They know one thing: Many people really hate being interrupted during meals, but their boss is an exception. He will ask you, "Have you eaten?"

Sure enough, Zhang Nan got up and said hello before Bell and the others had time to greet him: "Thank you! Have you eaten yet? This is?"

"Boss, this is the Inca culture expert I talked about on the phone, my friend Dr. Hans Simmer." After speaking, Bell introduced: "Hans, this is Mr. Allen, you should listen Said it."

More than I heard, Mr. Doctor can talk about Mr. Allen's name like a legend!

For some greetings, Dr. Simer has a German name, but he is a Peruvian, but he also has German nationality.

In general, Germany does not allow a person to have German nationality while also possessing the nationality of another country, but citizens of EU member states seem to be exceptions, and there are some more special circumstances that will also be accommodating.

Like this Hans, he himself is a descendant of Germans who immigrated to South America at the end of the 19th century. More interestingly, he was born in Germany in the late World War II.

At the time his parents responded to Mustache's call, and the overseas Germans returned to the Third Reich, just like the German military officer (sergeant?) who is the heir to the Argentine ranch with special appearance in the movie "Attack from the Sea".

When Germany was defeated, life in the Anglo-American-French occupation zone was not easy. The couple returned to Peru with Hans as a baby. At least there are ancestral farms operating in Peru, which were not confiscated by the state.

So Hans was born in Germany, and returned to Peru to have Peruvian citizenship.

Since his college days, he has been studying in Germany again, because he was born in Germany and is of German descent. He had obtained West German citizenship before.

After obtaining a doctorate in law at the University of Munich, he did not stay in West Germany to work and settle, but returned to Peru.

In the early 1970s, there were not many South American Germans who would choose this way, but Hans Simmer was a fan of Inca culture. He studied law only because becoming a lawyer would have a good income to support his interests. Hobby, I also feel that doing Inca cultural studies in Germany is a very nonsense thing!

Standard private researchers have some connections with some cultural organizations, but they have encountered some economic problems in the past few years-research must have sufficient economic foundation. As a well-known lawyer, one can not pay attention to this. There is still financial trouble.

Christopher Bell met him more than ten years ago. At that time, there was no Star Sunshine Group in the world. At the beginning, Bell worked in other mining groups. For the problems in the mining business in Peru, Hans was once employed by Bell. Lawyer.

The personal relationship between the two is okay, and Bell knows that Hans has a deep research on Inca culture.

This time Bell invited him to Bolivar. Originally, he was worried that his old friend would not have time. He simply invited him as a friend and feared that the other party would refuse because of the lack of face, so he simply invited him on a temporary basis by the company.

If the other party really can't get away, it won't be too embarrassing to refuse.

Without thinking, Hans agreed.

Invited by old friends, fairly generous rewards, the most interested in the exploration and research of Inca culture, can get to know Mr. Allen, who is famous in the world of archaeology, plus some other thoughts and plans in his heart, don't be a fool!

Zhang Nan is well-known in the world archaeology community. Whether it is the excavation of pyramids in Egypt and Sudan, or the things he did in Mongolia, or even the problems in the study of Phoenician culture, these have made him very good in the international archaeology community. Popularity is nothing more than mixed reviews.

There is no impermeable wall in the world. Although they don't know what Zhang Nan got, some people will know those shameless methods, but there is no way to take him from all sides, and there is no definite evidence.

Here, three people are invited to sit down. They really didn't eat lunch. They came directly to the construction site from the airport to show their attitude and not to the hotel first.

At this point, I didn't think about the shadow of the boss, the famous Mr. Guan was here, and Princess Star was also here, which made Hans Xinmo feel more like seeing a star.

Then eat first. Danny is gone, and there is still the kitchen in the mine.

The three of them were not so particular about it, so they solved it by three times and five out of two.

Eat and drink enough, the three are not worried about altitude sickness, and have another cup of coffee.

At this time, Zhang Nan asked people to take out the five-petal human-shaped painted pottery container, and said to Hans-Xin, "Doctor, basically all the broken pottery pieces found in the past two days are of little research value. .

This was just discovered this morning. Judging from this, I think this may be an altar during the Inca Empire..."

With that said, I also introduced the discovery process and my own speculation.

"Just call me Hans, Mr. Allen, as my friends call me." Hans Simmer was very polite, so he took a closer look at the transparent sealed bag with pottery pieces placed on the table.

Very serious, not frizzy, and very careful to get started, looking like an expert.

However, Zhang Nan realized that he frowned as he watched. After a while, he put the pottery on the table, and Hans Simer said, "Mr. Allen, there is one thing I hope you don't mind."

"You said." Zhang Nan said, and thought: "There will be no problems or jokes? I don't understand this thing, but I have seen it in the Chilean Museum. It is about the same, and whether the pottery is old or not. Come out."

Yu Guang also noticed that Christopher Bell gave an old friend a wink, which was obviously the meaning of "think about the wording, don't talk nonsense".

This Hans-Xinmo smiled bitterly, and said: "Mr. Allen, this is not a cultural relic of the Inca culture, but a relic of the earlier Tiwanaku culture."

"Tiyawanaku culture?" Zhang Nan was a little surprised. He seemed to have heard of it, but it was limited to this. It seemed that he had a little impression of the name of this culture. As for what it was, I don't know.

Bell on one side heaved a sigh of relief. It was better earlier and didn't make the boss ugly. Anyway, the boss said that he has a little knowledge of Inca culture at best.

Hans-Simmer organized the language and said: "The main ethnic groups in the entire western region of Bolivia, like the main residents of La Paz, are the Aymaras, but they are not actually Incas in the traditional sense.

The main ethnic group in southern Peru is also the Aymara ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are also a few in northern Chile. The ancestors of the Aymara are the creators of the Tiwanaku culture.

The representative/cultural site of the Tiwanaku culture is dozens of kilometers away. If Mr. Allen is interested, you can take a look there. It is called Tiwanaku.

There is a huge stone Sun Gate on the site, which is carved with the image of Cuvier's elephant that was completely extinct only in 400 AD, and there is even a Pleistocene creature sabertooth that is generally believed to have been completely extinct ten thousand years ago.

This pottery is exquisite in craftsmanship. I personally think it is an item of the late Tiwanaku culture. It may be around the 10th century, or it may be pushed back 2 centuries, but it is unlikely to be earlier or later.

The Inca Empire has no written words. Now we can only speculate that the Incas occupied this area in the 10th to 11th centuries and destroyed the Tiwanaku culture, but there is not much useful historical proof.

The Aymara people now have writing, but they didn't have it a thousand years ago.

Without text, we can only speculate on a small number of unearthed artifacts and some records made by the Spaniards after arriving here. "
