Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!-Chapter 638 - Recognized

638 Recognized
The experts on the left and above also nodded silently, not understanding what this was.

However, after this cultural relic was unearthed, the expert in the middle of the screen took it for testing. Clearly, this was not something left behind by a grave robber, and this cultural relic did not have a metal structure in the middle.

Hence, he replied.

“No, no, no. I tested it when I took it out. These horns are real, but for some reason, they’re not rotten. They look as smooth as ebony and there’s no metal attribute inside, so I don’t know what this thing is. This tomb isn’t the tomb of a royal relative. It’s just a small tomb. When the villagers were building houses and digging the foundation, they dug through the ceiling and called the police. Then, they informed us to go over. There are no tombstones, no words, and no murals. There’s nothing. Moreover, there’s no hole. We don’t know who’s buried here. There are no burial items in the coffin. There are only a few cultural relics. This is one of them. It’s relatively special, so I took it to study it. The others are all cultural relics I’ve seen. They’re also very meaningful. They’ve been handed over to the National Museum.”

After hearing the words of the expert in the middle, the experts blushed a little. They looked at the thing thoughtfully, but they really could not understand why this tea bowl had four horns and every horn could turn. Who designed this?

No one knew who was buried in such an empty tomb. It was really strange that such a magical cultural relic was left behind.

“Maybe it’s a wine vessel?”

The expert on the computer screen pondered for a moment and spoke. As soon as he said this, all the experts nodded and replied in agreement.

“Yes, it should be a wine vessel, or it might be a tea bowl. However, no matter what it is, it feels quite strange to drink from this thing. The four horns at the back are uneven, and the lengths are different. It doesn’t constitute the conditions for a stand.”

“Indeed. Other than a wine vessel or a tea bowl, this doesn’t look like anything else. Hiss, how strange. I’ve never seen such a strange thing.”

“Could it be… Something used in ancient sacrificial rituals? If it’s not used for drinking wine or tea, is it placed upside down?”

“Sigh, in that case, you still have some ideas. It’s not unreasonable. Since there’s nothing in this tomb, it’s very likely that a priest was buried here, so only these things are left.”

“I’ve tried turning it upside down, but the bowl is uneven. The edges are wavy and asymmetrical. When it’s turned upside down, it will automatically shake from left to right. The width is not large. I’ve studied it and found that the edge of this bowl is deliberately designed to be uneven. This is what makes me feel the most strange. Moreover, I’ve also checked regarding sacrificial rituals. There’s no book in ancient times that records such a sacrificial method. I really have no clue.”

After the expert in the middle finished speaking, the air fell silent.

The various experts fell silent and their thoughts were stuck again.

This thing was a little confusing. They had never seen such a thing before. How could they study it?

Even Ninth Sister Ye Xue was dumbfounded. Even though she was so experienced in archeology and had a photographic memory of all the cultural relics, she was still completely dumbfounded when she saw this cultural relic. She had never seen it before.

“Expert Li, place this bowl upside down and let me take a look. The patterns on this bowl feel very strange. It looks like a password or something. The four horns look very messy, but there’s also a pattern.”

After thinking for a long time, Ninth Sister Ye Xue still found some ideas. This made the experts’ eyes light up. The expert in the middle of the screen also slapped his forehead and spoke.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

Then, he turned the bowl upside down, revealing the back of the bowl and the mystery of its automatic shaking.

Ninth Sister Ye Xue narrowed her eyes and put on her glasses to take a closer look at the bowl. This bowl was dark green in color. There were many white-spotted patterns in the bowl, and there were even carvings on the back. However, they didn’t look like carvings. It should have been integrated into the bowl when it was made. There were some patterns inside. The color of these patterns was different from the color of the bowl. They were a bright black-brown color with some red and gold colors.

This kind of integration was like putting a drop of glue and putting some flowers in it. It did not look out of place at all and was very beautiful. The entire bowl looked very beautiful.

Apart from the four strange horns on the back.

If these four horns were removed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this bowl was the most beautiful porcelain bowl in the world. It was really gorgeous.

She couldn’t imagine how the ancient people had relied on their skills to make such a gorgeous porcelain bowl. It simply overturned people’s worldview.

After looking at the patterns for a while, Ninth Sister Ye Xue indeed discovered something.

“This pattern is very strange. Although there’s a pattern, this pattern looks a little like a password, but it doesn’t look like it. Tsk, I don’t understand this thing either. I’ve never seen it before.”

Ninth Sister Ye Xue also gave up a little. After looking at it for a long time, she could not understand the meaning of this pattern.

Using patterns to guess a password was the most troublesome thing. Moreover, this pattern did not look like it represented a password.
Upon hearing Ye Xue’s words, the experts sighed. Since even the most famous archeology professor could not figure it out, there was nothing they could do.

Therefore, they sighed unwillingly and shook their heads.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Ye Xue turned around and saw her little brother, Ye Xuan, walking in with a fruit platter. Seeing this, Ye Xue immediately smiled and spoke.

“Thank you, Little Brother. You even gave me a fruit plate.”

Ye Xuan smiled and looked at the bowl that the expert in the middle of the computer screen had placed on the table. He narrowed his eyes. He heard his Ninth Sister say that she didn’t understand this thing just now, so he roughly guessed that there must be some cultural relic that no one could understand.

Ye Xuan was also curious, so he narrowed his eyes. However, he could tell something at a glance. He pointed at the porcelain bowl and smiled at his Ninth Sister Ye Xue.

“This is a wine vessel. To be precise, it was made as a wine vessel when it was first produced. It was used by the higher-ups of the tribe. Later on, because it was too good-looking, it was not used to store wine. Instead, it was used as an ornament to observe.”

Upon hearing this, Ninth Sister Ye Xue immediately took off her earphones and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise.

“Little Brother, do you know this thing? Where did you see it?”

“I’ve read an explanation about this in a book in the past, but there were only words. Now that I see this thing that looks very similar, it should be this thing. It’s originally called the Four-Horned Obsidian Heaven’s Eye Petri Dish[1].”
