Loulan s Desert Eye 10, Loulan s Desert Eye

When it comes to the ancient city of Loulan, people will think of the Swedish explorer Sven Heding, who first announced the existence of the ancient city of Loulan in 1901.

On March 28, 1900, the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin was investigating in the Lop Desert, and the donkey worker and guide he hired, the Uygur farmer Erdik lost his tools, and on the way to find it, he accidentally found an ancient ruins on the northwest bank of Lop Nur.

Lacking drinking water, Sven Hedin had no choice but to return. After a year of preparation, on March 3, 1901, Sven Hedin made a special trip to the site for a week of excavation. After sorting and analyzing, Hedin determined that this relic was Loulan according to the word Loulan in the unearthed documents, and this important discovery shocked the world and won great honor for Sven Heding.

Subsequently, the British Stein and the Japanese Tachibana Ruichao all followed Heding's road map to find the Loulan site, and their excavations were more thorough and meticulous, but at the same time destructive and predatory. These works became an important geographical basis for the later expedition to Loulan.

Although it is difficult to identify the former appearance of Loulan City from the Gobi and Yadan landforms, scientists have found from a large number of materials and investigations that as an important town on the Silk Road, Loulan City, which was abandoned for 1,500 years, was once glorious. According to expert analysis, the ruins of Loulan have a history of 1,800 years, and after being looted by wind and sand, only the fragmented poplar wooden frame and a small number of reed walls remain. Judging from the size of the houses and the building materials, the housing conditions of the ordinary people at that time were relatively simple, but the large number of finely made woodworks and ancient coins left in the ruins reminded people that there was no shortage of wealthy families in Loulan City.

Experts believe that there is a gap between the rich and the poor in Loulan City, and these wood products also show us the exquisite craftsmanship of carpentry and the prosperity of Loulan's economy at that time. Experts found that there are still dozens of such private houses, and they are concentrated in the west of the city to form a residential area, and in the east of the city there are administrative and military districts, the city is fully functional and clearly distributed, and the sense of urban planning and development is obvious.

"Curse" deciphers the mystery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

The sudden disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan has left too many mysteries for future generations. Not fire, not **, not war, not plague ......Everyday life seems to have been interrupted abruptly, frozen at a certain point in history: the bread baked on the stove, the rice cooked in the pot, ......But it was as if the man had suddenly vanished.

Recently, a TV series called "Cursed", which has just been completed, wants to use the artistic techniques of TV dramas to solve this mystery.

The most famous golden mask in the world is the golden mask of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922. This golden mask not only shocked the world, but also took the lives of almost all members of the archaeological team. The world attributed this to Pharaoh's curse.

Curse. The terrifying scene was repeated in "The Damned". The golden mask and the jewel set on the forehead of the mask, the Desert Eye, belonged to Princess Loulan.

In addition to ecstasy, the Golden Mask and the Desert Eye bring with them the same curses: curses on betrayal, greed, deceit, and lust. The director of "Cursed" had particularly high requirements for the production of the golden mask and the desert eye, and after repeated deliberation and demonstration, the design plan was decided to be made by a century-old silver building. Sun Xiao.

Desert Eye: This spring is also known as the Desert Eye. As the only source of water in this huge desert, it is like the eyes of this desert, seeing all the clouds gathering and changing things. The clear spring water is constantly gushing out, and it never runs dry.

The Eye of the Sahara, also known as the "Richard Structure", is located in Mauritania, southwest of the Sahara Desert in Africa, the world's largest desert, with a diameter of 48 kilometers and is clearly visible from space. Originally thought to have been formed by a meteorite collision, geologists now believe that it may have been caused by geological formations rising or eroding, and the formation of this ring shape remains a mystery to this day.

Because as early as the 2nd century, Loulan was a famous "city country" in the Western Regions. It leads to Dunhuang in the east, Yanqi and Yuli in the northwest, and Ruoqiang and Mo in the southwest. The north and south of the ancient "Silk Road" diverged from Loulan.

During the Han Dynasty, Loulan became the strategic fulcrum of the **** to control the Western Regions, and it was a very prosperous border town, occupying an important position on the Silk Road. This, combined with its subsequent mysterious disappearance, and the mysterious legends surrounding its disappearance, naturally contributed to its extraordinary fame among a series of ancient cities.

The most important thing is the geographical location: it is the place where the Silk Road must pass, and now only the ruins remain, which is located in the north of Ruoqiang County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, 7 kilometers away from the northwest corner of Lop Nur and the south bank of the Peacock River. The obvious strategic point.

The ecological environment here has been harsh since ancient times, and it is located on the plateau, or the Yadan landform. Fortunately, there is a water source, and it is ice and snow melt water, deep inland, don't think about precipitation, even if there is, it is pitiful. Business exchanges, bringing popularity.

These have also contributed to the prosperity of Loulan, making it an important transit point and supply point.

But there is a word that flourishes and falls. There is a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is also at the junction of multiple civilizations, hehe··· The outbreak of war is a normal thing, and the henchman of war: the plague. There is nothing surprising about its arrival.

In the end, the modification of the route of the Silk Road became inevitable, and the development of the Maritime Silk Road exacerbated the decline of our Loulan.

In the past, Loulan was a region rich in resources and suitable climate, and it was the center of the Silk Road, but later it was forced to migrate due to lack of resources and environmental damage.

Because of the water, Loulan was once a famous oasis.
