According to archaeological identification, "Zero Girl" is female, and her age of death is between 15 and 17. According to the stratigraphic relationship of the tombs and the charcoal specimens of the site, it is estimated that it is about 6450~7300 years ago.
What makes a girl in her prime kill her in such a horrible way? When sighing for it, let's share our personal views.
0 1 murder scene
1) weapons
It is reported that the bones of zero girls are basically intact, and there is no left hand, and the bone damage is extremely serious. 18 bone implements were found in the body, including 8 bone forks, 2 bone pins and 8 bone pins.
2) Damage
At least 35 serious injuries were suffered all over the body, including 29 sharp injuries and 6 compound injuries.
① Sharp instrument injury in 29 cases.
Sharp tools penetrate the body to the bones in the body, mostly in the skull, spine, ribs, ilium, pubic bone and pelvis, among which the spine is the most seriously injured. According to experts' inference, there are 12 injuries to the wishbone, 15 injuries to the hairpin and 2 injuries to the stirrup.
There are still four bone implements left in the bone:
3 cases were punctured from perineum to lower abdomen and pelvis, and remained in pelvis; 1 piece was punctured from perineum and is still inserted in ischium. ② 6 cases of compound injury.
Zero-mouthed girl lost her left hand: it may be caused by cutting with sharp tools such as knives and axes; Skeleton displacement and dislocation: it may be caused by compound behaviors such as twisting, pulling, tearing and pulling; External displacement, dislocation and fracture of tibia: it may be caused by blunt instrument impact.
3) Analysis
(1) Analysis from weapons.
There are three main weapons used by the murderer, among which the bone fork is a fishing tool, the bone hammer is a hunting tool, and the bone hairpin is a female hair accessory. It can be seen that there are many people involved in the crime, including hunters, fishermen and housewives. In other words, everyone in the tribe may have been involved in the murder.
② Analysis from the degree of injury.
The whole body was injured, and the method of injury was cruel, even inserted into the bone. It can be seen that people in the tribe are very disgusted with the zero-mouth girl, and they will kill her.
We can probably imagine a crime scene at that time.
One day, the snack girl ran away, and a group of people chased after her. Headed by Orion hit her with a bone shovel, and Zero Girl fell to the ground. Zero girl got up painfully and wanted to continue running.
The fisherman behind quickly caught up with her and stabbed her with a bone fork. Zero girl's left hand was cut off to protect her head. Finally, the tribal women also arrived, pushed her to the ground, tore off the hairpin that tied her hair, and tied it madly on her body, several times from the perineum.
The crime scene is really outrageous!
Why kill the snack girl?
1) Androgyny characteristics of girls with snacks
It is reported that the female characteristics of her brow and pubic bone are not obvious, and she is suspected to be bisexual. In ancient tribes, women's status was once more noble because they could reproduce.
Although the girl with zero mouth is about 16 years old, her average age is very short, and she has already passed the age of marriage in ancient times. Why has her husband never found out, or can he endure it for so long? Why should family conflicts be solved by tribes? Therefore, it is unreasonable to execute her just because of her physiological structure.
Therefore, the girl with zero mouth must have made public anger.
2) Sacrifice
According to the time and place of the crime, Xi 'an, about 6450~7300 years ago, happened to be in the early Yangshao culture. It is reported that there have been sacrifices at Banpo site.
Yangshao culture began to enter patriarchal clan system in the early stage, and the status of women was not as good as before. In order to meet the needs of male rulers, women's beauty began to be valued. In some places, male rulers imagine that male gods are also greedy for women, so there is a custom of offering sacrifices to beautiful women. So we can't rule out this statement.
Conclusion:
A female corpse in the ancient tomb makes people focus on the early Yangshao culture 7000 years ago. What is the reason for killing underage girls? Personally, I think there may be two reasons.
1) A married woman found that her masculinity gradually increased with her age, so that she violated other girls and was killed by people in the tribe; 2) In the early Yangshao culture, the status of women declined. Male rulers sacrifice beautiful women to male gods. But what puzzles me is that despite the bloody murder scene, the tribe buried her according to the ceremony. And why did the girl with zero mouth die? After all, the world can only speculate that the truth depends on future archaeological discoveries.
