    Many days later, Gu Tianchan finally leaped out of the vast ocean. If it weren't for his perseverance, Gu Tianchan might not have been able to fly out of the ocean, because Gu Tianchan had so many ideas on the way, and the entire imperial capital  The Imperial City to the foot of Burial Sky Valley was submerged by the sea water.  Gu Tianchan flew for many days without seeing the other side. Suddenly Gu Tianchan felt a little uneasy. He even wanted to take a different route several times, but Gu Tianchan finally chose to fly in a straight line and follow the sun.  , because in the vast ocean, if you can't find the way forward, don't change the route, because it is very dangerous. In the vast ocean, no matter how many routes you try, it will be useless.  If you walk in a straight line and follow the direction of the sun, you will eventually reach the other shore. If you change the route when you are about to reach the other shore, all your efforts will be in vain.  From this experience, Gu Tianchan also understood a truth. When you are a person or an animal, you must have the determination to keep your true heart. No matter what you do, you must not do it halfway, let alone think that you have made a mistake.  Self-confidence is often important when choosing a new path. Maybe it would be better to take another path, but this is wrong.  Often when you are halfway to success and there is only a layer of separation between you and success, you do not see the light of dawn and choose to give up Gu Tianchan looked back in the direction of the ocean, I really don¡¯t know  How did he get here these days? After being in danger in the ocean several times, Gu Tianchan shook his head, and then strode forward. In fact, Gu Tianchan didn't know where he was now, but according to his previous life  The direction he took when he was at Shiwandashan should be in the south. Gu Tianchan confirmed the direction and flew towards the south.  Under the dusk when the red sun sets in the west, when a few rays of yellow light shine on Gu Tianchan's body, he seems to be flying under the dim sky like a bat.  Gu Tianchan flew for two days in one breath, and it wasn't until he was really tired that Gu Tianchan stopped to rest.  After Gu Tianchan stayed, he came to a water source. When Gu Tianchan leaned down to drink water, Gu Tianchan accidentally saw a stone at the water source!  Gu Tianchan was shocked!  There are actually words engraved on it!  Gu Tianchan picked up the stone with curiosity. When Gu Tianchan saw the words engraved on it, Gu Tianchan was startled and suddenly took a breath, because the words on it were ancient.  Tianchan didn't recognize it, but Gu Tianchan knew this kind of writing.  "Cuneiform!" Gu Tianchan stared at all this. This was incredible. Gu Tianchan suddenly stood up. Are there Sumerians here?  Gu Tianchan rose up in the air and stood on a high rock, overlooking everything below. But to his disappointment, he didn't find even a bird feather. However, the environment here caught Gu Tianchan's attention, because  There are no trees or hills in all directions. There is loess everywhere, waxy yellow everywhere, a barren land. The whole land is made up of big rocks as tall as hills, just like the environment next to the Egyptian pyramids, except for the tall ones.  Where there is waxstone, there is nothing, of course!  There are quite a few pyramid-like houses here, but they cannot withstand the ravages of time. Almost all of them have been weathered and dilapidated. Even if you come here, you don¡¯t think they are houses. Moreover, the weather here is extremely hot. In ancient times,  Zen also came here to look for water because he was too hot. The water also flows out from the yellow stone. Although it is not very clear, it is not yellow or turbid either.  "Could it be that the Sumerians once lived here? Could it be that this is the Sumerian civilization?" Gu Tianchan was shocked in his heart!  There are so many variables in the wilderness. It can be said that Gu Tianchan here has truly witnessed everything in prehistory, from humanities to geography, Gu Tianchan has seen everything one by one, and he has barely seen the generals and princesses of ancient China.  Got it!  The name of the ancient region of Sumer.  In the lower reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers in present-day southeastern Iraq.  The early inhabitants were the Sumerians.  Around the 30th century BC, some slave city-states appeared. They fought with each other for a long time and successively dominated.  In the mid-24th century BC, King Lugar-Zaghisi of Ummah conquered the southern city-states from 2373 BC to 2349 BC, established the Sumerian state, and made Uruk the capital.  It was destroyed by Akkad around the end of the 24th century BC.  The Sumerians were the creators of early cultures in the Mesopotamia.  First create cuneiform writing.  The Sumerian civilization established by the Sumerians is the earliest civilization in the entire Mesopotamian civilization, and it is also the earliest civilization in the world that is currently known.  The Sumerian civilization was mainly located in the southern part of Mesopotamia (i.e. Mesopotamia).  Radiocarbon dating tests show that the beginning of Sumerian civilization can be traced back to 4000 BC.  It ended around 2000 BC and was replaced by Babylon, established by the Semitic people.  The oldest stone tablets found here containing pre-cuneiform writing (the earliest recognized record of writing)It can be dated to about 36th century BC.  But for a long time, no one knew the origins of the ancient Sumerians.  They called themselves "Blackheads" and spoke a strange language unrelated to the languages ??of the Semitic tribes in the area.  The previous life Gu Tianchan also accidentally saw it in a research institute in Germany when he was on a mission. It is said that there are no more than 100 academics studying Sumerian civilization in the world!  But there are five in China!  The world¡¯s earliest beer was invented by the Sumerians. Although it is somewhat different from Chinese liquor, it is also another development history of wine.  We know that drinking was already popular in the Shang Dynasty in my country. According to archaeological discoveries, there are a large number of bronze wine vessels in the Yin Ruins and other Shang Dynasty sites, and there are also historical records of the so-called "wine pond and meat forest".  However, the Shang Dynasty (17th-11th century BC) more than 3,000 years ago was not the first ancient civilization in the world to invent wine.  Not even the legendary "Xia Dynasty" (21st to 17th century BC, but it has yet to be confirmed by archeology).  So, which country in the world first invented artificial brewing of beer?  There are three prerequisites for artificial brewing of beer: the first is to enter a farming society and master the technology of growing wheat (barley); the second is to be able to bake bread; and the third is to cultivate beer yeast.  These technologies first appeared in ancient Egypt around 3000 BC, and soon spread to the Mesopotamia.  According to ancient Egyptian historical records, the method of making beer at that time was to make malted barley into bread, grind the bread, and place it in an open vat, allowing yeast in the air to enter the vat for fermentation to make primitive beer.  Due to the contamination of grain residues and bacteria, the taste of wine was certainly not as good as it is now.  During the 2nd Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, "beer" and "sweet beer" appeared, and beer has been widely consumed by the people.  Earlier than beer, the ancient Egyptians had already produced wine.  At that time, grapes were only cultivated on the territory of the royal family and nobles, and the wine yield was not high, so it was usually used as "sacred wine" offered to gods.  And Sumer is living in this river basin.  The civilization of Sumer is very old.  It can be said that the achievement of civilization is enough to explain their advancement and reform evolution.  Gu Tianchan slowly walked into this land with a face full of questions, but after searching for a long time, Gu Tianchan didn't see any sign of "people". Gu Tianchan finally knew that this land had been abandoned for a long time, and he didn't know if there were any.  For a long time, there were no Sumerians at all.  But when Gu Tianchan was searching the entire Sumerian civilization, Gu Tianchan felt as if there was an eye staring at him in the dark, and staring at him so nakedly. Gu Tianchan was sure that as long as he relaxed a little,  At some point, it is estimated that this secret thing must be heading towards Gu Tianchan, because Gu Tianchan can feel that it carries a strong murderous aura and evil spirit.  Gu Tianchan stood motionless, but after a long time, the thing in the dark did not move. Gu Tianchan made a plan in his mind, and then he fell directly to the ground and pretended to sleep. However, after Gu Tianchan fell to the ground,  The thing in the dark didn't move, and kept confronting Gu Tianchan to see who had the stronger endurance. Fortunately, Gu Tianchan was also tired, so he continued to pretend to sleep. He knew that this was the only way to go, because Gu Tianchan  Tianchan wanted to see what this thing in the dark was. If it was a certain intelligent creature, Gu Tianchan wouldn't be afraid, because there are so few intelligent animals these days. However, there was something else Gu Tianchan didn't expect.  However, this animal didn't seem to have much perseverance. After Gu Tianchan fell asleep on the ground, two hours later, it tiptoed out of the darkness.  I saw a giant stone beast walking out of a small rocky mountain. It was all earth-colored. It looked like a lion, but its ears were extremely big. It had no scary fangs, its eyes were like bells, and its body was larger than the size of a lion.  The elephants are much bigger!  If you look at it from a distance, you will definitely not recognize it, because it looks just like an earthy yellow stone. If Gu Tianchan saw it, he would be shocked!  Because this stone beast is the god worshiped by the Sumerian people!  He is the god of genealogy in Sumerian mythology.  His name is Azag, and he is a giant stone monster born from "Anqi", the god of heaven praised by the Sumerian people.  "Anqi" is the God of Heaven, the Lord of Heaven, and the Father of All Gods.  However, he does not have the recognition of "Destiny" and has no actual binding force on the gods. He is only a formal god-king.  Of course, under normal circumstances, the gods will still give enough respect to the "God of Heaven", and An is also happy to live peacefully in the "Heaven Realm" and does not have too many requirements for his believers, except for giving human beings a few moments.  Apart from blessings, he will only come out of the mountain in extremely dangerous moments.  Therefore, many Sumerians regarded him as a dispensable god.  Just like the Chinese "Haotian God".  When Azhag stepped into Gu Tianchan's side, Gu Tianchan suddenly went berserk.  Without the golden cudgel in hand, Gu Tianchan is like a tiger with a broken claw, but Gu Tianchan himself is not weak., five fingers were explored, and five sharp claws were instantly exposed, and Gu Tianchan slashed towards Azag's head with one claw.  When Gu Tianchan saw clearly what it was, he was also dumbfounded.
