"Ladies and gentlemen, in the world of archaeology, the study of ancient corpses has always been a top priority. Every seemingly ordinary bone could lead to major archaeological discoveries. When it comes to ancient corpses, they're generally classified into wax corpses, mixed corpses, dry corpses, and wet corpses. Of these, wet corpses that are best preserved hold the greatest research value."
"But beyond these four types, there are even more magical and mysterious ancient corpses. Think of the famous Loulan 'Beauty,' the 'Incorrupt Saint' Bernadette, as well as Buddhist golden bodies and relics, and so on."
"Confucius said: Don't talk about weird powers or supernatural beings. As scientists—especially archaeologists—we must peel away the veil of mysticism, steer clear of religious beliefs, and get right to the heart of things. But today, we have to admit, some things are just beyond our imagination."
The man's voice was captivating, and he knew exactly how to hype up the crowd. As he spoke, everyone was gradually drawn into the story. People began to realize just how strange and coincidental the discovery of this grand tomb was. The whole exhibition hall was cleverly designed, too—according to the intro, it was basically a faithful recreation of the inside of the tomb. Mysterious but not creepy, you could tell a lot of effort and money went into it.
Of course, every exhibition needs a good hook—just like a tour guide at a famous landmark. And this ancient corpse exhibition? From the discovery, to its origins, to its unique location on the Silk Road, it's got hype everywhere you look. In just one short film, everyone's interest was piqued.
"Tell me, how did you even get interested in this stuff?" Jasper Xiao asked in a low voice. "The Queen is all about electronics, machines, and high-tech—she's always looking to the future. But you? You're digging up the past. Are siblings really that different?"
"You wouldn't get it. You've always been stuck in your Western elements," Jack Young shrugged. "For us, looking back at history is basic training. Who knows, maybe one day we'll time travel to somewhere eighteen hundred years ago!"
Jasper Xiao didn't seem convinced. "If the ancient world sticks close to real history, you guys won't have any trouble with it. But your world? It never sticks to real history."
"You know, you're actually making sense—" Jack Young admitted, then squinted with a mischievous grin. "But I just like wandering around, so what? Quit yapping and pay attention!"
Jasper Xiao was dumbfounded, shaking his head with a sigh. "Now I really believe you two are family..."
