Chapter 80: Found!
Cbb's "Treasure Hunter" program not only has a large number of ordinary audiences, but also teachers and students from major British universities are also paying attention to this program.
Oxford University and Cambridge University are the two most famous universities in Britain!
The earliest history of Cambridge University can be traced back to 1209. A group of scholars gathered from Oxford University to Cambridgeshire, thus founding Cambridge University. It was not until 1284 that Bishop Erie was founded in Peterhouse, the first college of Cambridge University. In subsequent development, Cambridge University established a total of 31 autonomous colleges.
Over the past eight centuries, Cambridge University has cultivated more than 100 Nobel Prize winners, 11 Fields Medal winners, 6 Turing Prize winners, Newton, Kelvin, Maxwell, Boll, Hawking, Darwin, Hua Luogeng and others have studied here.
It can be said that it is precisely because of these first-class talents that have created hundreds of years of glory in Britain.
The University of Cambridge's archaeology major is among the best in the world.
On the one hand, it is because Cambridge University has been conducting archaeological research for a hundred years, and on the other hand, this discipline in Cambridge brings together the world's top experts and the most advanced instruments and equipment and research concepts.
The students of the Department of Archaeology at Cambridge College are part of a diverse research community.
The college’s archaeology courses include archaeology, Assyrianism, biological anthropology and Egyptology...
Its flexibility means that students can both start their studies from the first year or choose to have a broad start before focusing on up to two subjects from the second year.
Archaeology uses material evidence, from molecules to monumental structures, to explore the past and understand the past societies.
Assyrianism studies the language, culture, history and archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia (Sumer, Babylon and Assyrian)...
Egyptology is a discipline that studies the history, language, society, archaeology and religion of ancient Egypt.
Biological anthropology studies the interactions between human evolution and diversity, biology and behavior, as well as biology and culture.
With the news that Hoxson, Suffolk discovered the Roman treasure, it spread throughout Britain through the live broadcast of Cbb and was still fermenting rapidly.
It even spread throughout the archaeological departments of major British universities, causing heated debates and discussions among countless students and professors.
At this time, many professors and experts from the Department of Archaeology of Cambridge University gathered together and were holding a closed-door meeting.
"You've watched the latest new episode of "Treasure Hunter". An Asian treasure hunter dug out Roman treasures in Hoxon!"
"The professors in the college agreed that the treasure was buried in 350-450 AD!"
A professor with a goatee in the crowd said seriously: "At present, by looking up historical documents of ancient Rome and the style and shape of gold and silver coins found by the treasure hunter in the video, we infer that there are more than 5 Roman emperors' names and portraits in it."
"These coins should have been minted during the three dynasties of the ancient Roman emperors, from the earliest ones to the Constantine dynasty, followed by Emperor Valentinia, and finally Emperor Theodos..."
The deputy director of the Archaeology Department branch next to him frowned: Let me tell you about my discovery. When the Asian treasure hunter in the picture showed the gold coins, I found that the gold and silver coins still retained the original mint mark.
These mark the location of the mint that originally minted these coins, which indirectly illustrates that the areas ruled by the Romans at that time, the coins produced by the mint were strictly unified."
"And I asked my students to look up information to roughly determine that these mints of Roman gold and silver coins can be traced back to a total of 14 sources: Trier, Arles and Lyon (in Gaul), Ravenna, Milan, Aquileia, Rome (in modern Italy); Hicia (in modern Croatia), Sirmium (in modern Serbia), Thessaloniki (in Greece), Constantinople, Saizi, Eia and antioch (in modern Türkiye..."
"You can imagine that Rome ruled most of Europe at that time."
Another professor came forward to explain: "Since 410 AD, ancient Roman historical documents rarely provide information about the British incident."
"What we have learned now is that according to Saint Jerome's description, the post-Britain 410s, with the evacuation of the Roman army, the authority of the local management institutions of Britain collapsed, and the Roman citizens who stayed in the local area were once again facing repeated attacks and invasions such as the rising Saxons."
"And by 452, a Gaulish chronicler recorded that the rise of the British Saxons again had been greatly reduced by the number of Roman citizens who were suffering from various disasters and misfortunes."
......
As the dean of the Cambridge Archaeology Department, the final conclusion: Based on everyone's opinion, I believe that the period when the treasure was buried should have been around 450 AD, when Britain was in a period of great turmoil.
"The Visigoth attack on Rome, Italy at the beginning of the fifth century led to the recall of the Roman general General Stirico, the Roman army from Latia, Gaul and Britain."
"Rome, native to Europe, is facing the invasion of the northern barbarians, and the Romans' authority in Britain is disintegrating! The Anglo-Saxons at that time took advantage of the Roman army to evacuate Britain and launched the first wave of attacks."
"There is no doubt that the emergence of this batch of Hoxon treasures is very important to Britain!"
The goatee said: It seems that this Asian treasure hunter is quite not simple.
The dean nodded with interest: The Asian treasure hunter in this episode of "Treasure Hunter" is very interesting. He just discovered the Vikings' treasure in Scotland two weeks ago, and now he has discovered something left by the Romans...
Suddenly a voice in the room interrupted:
"I think he should have discovered the treasure of the Celtics in the Jersey side!"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became an uproar, and many people looked shocked and incredible. They were so impressed by the treasures in Jersey last month. One or two of them even went to participate in the subsequent cleaning work.
At this time, the dean was also surprised: Tell me about your inference?
The middle-aged man came out of the group and distributed a document to everyone present: "This Asian treasure hunter is named Li Ming. He came to Jersey from China two months ago for a trip. This is part of the information I found through flight personnel information.
"But after he arrived in Jersey, the treasures of the Celtics came out half a month later.
Although the city hall in Jersey has kept silent about the treasure discoverer!
I even consulted Director Henry of the Jersey Museum in private and wanted to know the information about the treasure discoverer, but I didn't expect that the other party was silent and looked as if he was secretly secretive!"
“I think it all seems abnormal!
It is impossible to hide the name of the treasure discoverer by normal excavation and discovery of treasures. I happened to learn that the Jersey mayor was a red neck..."
"After the next batch of Celtic silver coins were unearthed, according to flight records, I found that this Asian friend left Jersey by plane within two days and went directly to Edinburgh, Scotland...
"And then this treasure hunter named Li Ming discovered the Viking treasures in Scotland, and then participated in the recording of the Cbb program, and then discovered the treasures of the Romans..."
"Based on the location and travel records he has stayed these days, I boldly guessed that he should have discovered the Celtic treasures."
