Game of Thrones: Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon - Chapter 3 huge differences

"Professor Wilson, doesn't it mean that there are no magic and dragons in this world?"

However, when the old professor was telling this piece of history as the opening remark, a female student below raised her hand and raised her objection.

The class of the university is to talk about science and factual basis, especially in the world's top universities such as Imperial College of Economics, the students who can be admitted to this university are also elites of the same age, so some people object to the content of the class. Nor is it very rare.

"Alas..."

Standing at the back of the student team, the four-member team of Rose, Daenerys, and Aaron whispered, expressing contempt for this classmate's pretentious behavior.

Obviously, this female student didn't have a good relationship with them.

However, Professor Wilson was not angry when he was questioned by his students. He continued to adjust his collar, then looked at each other, and said in a calm and muddy voice.

"Yes, child."

"In the current historical world, there is indeed considerable controversy about the existence of magic and dragons."

In fact, what Professor Wilson said was very subtle.

In the current historical circle, the differences between scholars on this ancient history cannot be called disputes, but two kinds of tit-for-tat, incompatible complete break.

Archaeology is only an integral part of historical science, and cannot represent the entire historical world, let alone be on an equal footing with the historical world.

As one of the leading figures in the field of archaeology, Professor Wilson and more scholars in the field of archaeology insist that magic and dragons really existed before the collapse of the Valyrian Empire 10,000 years ago.

It is precisely because of the disappearance of magic and dragons that the most glorious and great civilization in history that ruled half of the planet fell into decline.

In the end, the huge country was unsustainable, and the civil wars were frequent and divided, and the insurgents overthrew the Holy Emperor, who claimed to have the "blood of the gods", and occupied King's Landing.

The Valyrian Empire officially withdrew from the stage of history and became a country scattered across the west of Essos, scattered like stars.

The archaeological community insists that the records in ancient books are true and valid, that magic is indeed real in history, and that dragons are an important support for maintaining a huge empire.

Otherwise, with the level of communication technology back then, it would be impossible to maintain a huge country that rules half of the planet.

There must be absolute force to suppress, and it can fly to any corner of the empire in half a month, and magic can communicate seamlessly across half of the planet like a phone to do these things.

On the contrary, in the entire historical and even scientific circles except the scholars in the archaeological circle, all other scholars scoff at this view.

They believe that the magic and dragons recorded in the ancient books, and even the 'blood of the gods', 'the divine right of the king', etc., are just lies fabricated by the rulers of the ancient empires to maintain their feudal rule.

Ancient human beings were ignorant and ignorant, did not enter the gate of modern civilization, did not understand the true meaning of science, and combined with ancient legends and stories, they were easily deceived and bewitched.

As for a traditional feudal monarchy that began 20,000 years ago, how did it govern a vast country far beyond the limits of the times, and spanned an astonishing 10,000 years.

Regarding this question, scholars outside the archaeological field, including history, political science, modern science, etc., have given a variety of answers.

Some people think that this is the mystery of history, which is the charm of history.

Others believe that it is the role of politics and the system. The elites and ruling classes of the ancient empire have strong capabilities. They unite and join hands to maintain their own interests and ensure that the people at the bottom are as docile as lambs.

What is interesting is that according to this point of view, some experts in the educational field put forward the topic of "elite education".

They made up the so-called educational methods and guidelines of the royal family of the Valyrian Empire, claiming that the ancient imperial family used this method to educate and screen the most elite talents, ensuring that each generation of emperors is a wise king, and then maintaining the country's long rule. .

But in fact, anyone who is really familiar with the history of the Valyrian Empire knows that there are many incompetent emperors in the long history, but the empire they rule is still as stable as Mount Tai.

In addition to this, there are astronomy and geographers who put forward the "glacier theory".

It probably means that there was a cold wave that swept the world 10,000 years ago. Even if Dorne fell heavily in August, the Valyrians were caught off guard, and the granary in the Reach was almost dead.

As a result, an unprecedented uprising broke out, which eventually overthrew the rule of the ancient empire, etc...

But aside from these various reasons that people have reasoned out, the viewpoints held by the archaeological community today cannot be widely recognized, and the reason they are even ridiculed and satirized is that they have not been able to show the key to the real existence of dragons and magic. evidence.

If there was a terrifying creature like a dragon on this planet~www.novelbuddy.com~ Why haven't even a single skeleton been found?

As for magical objects, a relic mining operation that Professor Wilson once presided over found the "glass candle" suspected to be a magical object recorded in ancient books.

But it is a pity that the appearance of the glass candle is really peculiar, which is almost the same as the description in the ancient book, but it does not allow its sight to pass through the mountains, oceans and deserts, sit in front of this kind of candle, enter other people's dreams to show phantoms, or It has the ability to exchange information between half the world, and it will not emit a strange light that will never go out.

This glass candle, mined from ancient ruins, is gray and bleak, and is currently stored in the laboratory of the Imperial College of Economics.

The only exciting news for these archaeologists is that the material of this glass candle has been delayed by modern science.

But even so, there are fewer and fewer archaeological scholars like Professor Wilson who continue to hold on to their beliefs, and most of them have begun to change their camps.

"But right now you're studying archaeology, and in my class, just follow my pace."

"Do you understand?"

"Julie."

After explaining all this, Professor Wilson stared at the female classmate with his eyes like a torch, and spoke with a slightly stern voice.

And this female student named Julie pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but in the end she lowered her head, and the rest of the students were also shocked and sympathetic to Julie.

She wants to change departments. Everyone knows that other students in the Department of Archaeology also want to transfer to other more promising majors, but it is really irrational to directly challenge Professor Wilson like Julie. .
