The discovery of the Peking Man sites and fossils is a major event in the history of the world’s Paleoanthropological Research(Study of human evolution through the fossil and archaeological records).
So far, no other Ancient Human site has so many Ancient Humans, Ancient Cultures, Ancient Animal Fossils, and other materials like the Peking Man Site in Zhoukoudian.
The fossils of the Pecking Man-Ape Skulls have become a rare treasure that has attracted the attention of the world’s scientific community.
Although the “Peking Man” is not the earliest human being, but as a representative of the intermediate link from Ape to Man, it is called “The most significant and touching discovery in the whole history of ancient humans”.
Therefore, the preciousness of “Peking Ape-Man Skull” can be imagined.
However, because of this, it has also become a coveted object by some speculators and imperialists.
The five Peking Ape-Man Skulls and a batch of fossils excavated by Pei Wenzhong(Founding figure of Chinese anthropology) and others unexpectedly “Disappeared” strangely during the Anti-Japanese War.
This incident became a theft case that shocked the whole world. Since the 1950s, people have continued to search for them but they have not found anything to this date.
And now there was such a life-like ape-man skull in front of them and Su Jing actually said that it is a genuine and real Peking Ape-Man Skull?
How could Old Song and Shen Hong accept that such a fossil-like Skull of an Ape-Man is a genuine Peking Ape-Man skull? Compared with this, the Taisui and Tianhuang Stone they had seen before were nothing.
Su Jing touched his nose and said, “I only know that this should be a real Fossil, but I am not sure whether it is a real Peking Ape-Man Skull or not, you guys are the treasure experts so you tell me.” Su Jing actually played with words in this sentence.
This skull was actually dug out from the “Zhu Xian” Universe a few days ago, and it is undoubtedly a fossilized Ape-Man Skull, so the Humans in the “Zhu Xian” Universe also evolved from apes.
But this is definitely not the “Peking-Man Skull” as defined by the Earth. This is an Ape-Man Skull but it is from another Universe.
On earth, Ape-Man Skulls are too significant, so they are extremely precious. However, in Zhu Xian Universe, there are not many people who would be interested in it.
Even if they want to study something, they would study the Divine Beast, Monster Beast, Book of the Heaven, and the treasure houses of the Emperor of Heaven, and many other exotic things.
There are infinite legends there so who would be in the mood to study the skull of some Apes? Maybe someone picked it up, used it as a decoration, and then thought it was boring and threw it away.
In fact, Su Jing could also not believe it at first, so he scraped a little powder from the skull and took it to Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo for testing.
The result revealed that this fossil was indeed 600,000 years old. However, he didn’t show the skull to Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo.
Now that Old Song and Shen Hong are here today then he will show it to them and he would also ask for their thoughts on this matter but Su Jing didn’t expect them to be even more excited than him.
“I don’t believe it, this must be an imitation, and we can’t verify that without using technology.” Shen Hong shook his head as he said.
“I can’t believe it either, where did Mr. Su get it?” Old Song asked.
“I got it by chance. If it’s real, what do you think will happen if we take it to Auction House?” Su Jing asked.
“If it’s true then you can’t sell it. You have to turn it in. Firstly, this is a national cultural relic. If you dare to sell it then you will definitely have a lot of troubles coming your way. Secondly, as a member of the motherland, you have the obligation to hand over this object as this cannot be considered as an ordinary treasure. If this Skull is sold, and spread abroad, or gets damaged then you would simply be remembered as a sinner through the ages.” Shen Hong says while Old Song nodded.
“Hehe, I’m just saying, I won’t really sell it.” Su Jing smiled as he spoke. He actually considered this problem and after hearing Old Song and Shen Hong’s tone, it looks like this is indeed very serious.
Su Jing is now sure that he cannot sell this Skull or it will bring endless disaster to him. In fact, Su Jing doesn’t mind turning over this Skull as a contribution to the Country.
However, before handing it in, he wanted to use this skull to make publicity for his Auction House.
“However, this skull can’t be real, has it been tested?” Old Song and Shen Hong still didn’t believe it.
“I took a little powder to the Institute of Archaeology for testing, and it is indeed a fossil from 600,000 years ago.” Su Jing said, which made Old Song and Shen Hong almost faint, that means that this is really Peking Ape-Man Skull? It’s crazy!
…
Shen Hong and Old Song were really going crazy at this moment.
They have seen Taisui, Tianhuang Stone, and now a real Peking Ape-Man Skull, these layers of stimulation, especially the Peking Ape-Man Skull, are simply challenging the limit of their mental tolerance.
Usually, their daily life is quite boring without any excitement in it but now they are getting too excited.
“Mr. Su, where did you get this Peking Ape-Man Skull from? Was it really buried in the ground of Qinhuangdao Port City as some people have guessed? Was it dug out by you? Then dif you find anything else besides this piece? “Old Song excitedly said.
Peking Ape-Man Skulls have been missing for many years, and there are many speculations about their whereabouts.
Some people think that they have been destroyed, while some people think that the Japanese people took it and hid them, some people think that they are secretly still buried in Ritan Park of Qinhuangdao Port City, and some people think that they sank to the bottom of the sea in the shipwreck of MV Awamaru…
However, there is a new clue that they are most likely to be buried Underground of Qinhuangdao Port City.
“I just got this piece by chance and there is nothing else to it.” Su Jing said while thinking that he would also like to find those missing skulls back, but the problem is that he has no clue and this piece have nothing to do with those.
“That’s a shame, but you were very lucky to find one. This is a piece of absolutely exciting news. I am afraid that many people will jump for joy after knowing this news.” Shen Hong laughed and said with excitement and joy after some time.
“So, these treasures are enough to help Auction House make a name for itself, right? If it’s not enough, it doesn’t matter, because I still have all kinds of treasures that I used to get for auction at Myriad Treasures Auction House.” Su Jing said.
“Of course it’s enough, it’s too much. When your Auction House shows these treasures, all the other Auction Houses would have to give way.” Shen Hong and Old Song sighed at the same time.
