The identity of a little boy must be something to wear such a beautiful bracelet 3000 years ago. If you want to find out the identity of this little boy, you must know a man named? Uratu? Ancient dynasty.
Mysterious ancient dynasty: Uraltu Kingdom13rd century BC, every Turkish city had an urartu tribal alliance. With the development of society, tribes gradually evolved into small countries. These small countries are often invaded by the Assyrian empire in the west because of their small territory and sparse population. In order to resist aggression, small countries gradually unified into Uraltu Kingdom.
The kingdom of Urartu is a slave country. The first king was the tribal leader Salduri I, who reduced the submissive small countries to vassals, and the former rulers continued to manage them, but they needed to pay tribute regularly. At the same time, a large number of prisoners of war were turned into slaves and ordered to build water conservancy projects and public buildings.
Under his rule, a very perfect irrigation system was established, which made the agriculture of the kingdom highly developed. However, agricultural development does not mean that people live comfortably. On the contrary, the irrigation system became a tool for the king to exploit farmers. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the peasant uprising in Uraltu Kingdom has never stopped.
In 645 BC, the kingdom of Uraltu was defeated by the emerging kingdom of Medea and New Babylon, and the land was merged into the kingdom of Medea.
Mysterious Children's Remains: As a slave country, urartu citizens have strict class distinctions. According to archaeological findings, most people at the bottom of the stratum were buried without any funerary objects. However, the 3-year-old children's tomb unearthed this time contains not only exquisite dragon bracelets, but also dozens of earrings, silver necklaces, lion brooches and other jewels.
Therefore, it can be judged that this mysterious child must be the child of the ruling kingdom class in urartu at that time. At the same time, during the excavation of the ancient tomb of St. Putipu Castle in 20 17, the archaeological team also found the remains of a young woman, which can also explain the importance of jewelry in the funeral of the nobles of Uraltu Kingdom.
This remains is an aristocratic woman between 20 and 25 years old. Her skeleton is covered with a set of exquisite jewels. Wearing a bracelet on her wrist, a bronze ring on her left hand, pendulum earrings on her ears, a brooch on her lower neck and a semi-precious stone necklace around her neck.
Mysterious dragon bracelet: Among the many jewels around the iron age remains of this child, the most striking one is the dragon bracelet worn on his arm. This pair of bracelets is symmetrical in radian, with a pair of opposite faucets at the opening and closing, which is a masterpiece of the Iron Age.
The Iron Age is an extremely important era in the history of human development. The earliest iron smelting found in the world was a dagger with copper handle and iron blade unearthed in Turkey, about 4500 years ago. Because most iron elements on the earth are distributed in a free state, natural iron is very scarce.
At that time, people often used stone and iron from the sky to make blades and decorations. When people skillfully used the technology of smelting bronze, they gradually mastered the method of smelting iron and ushered in the real iron age.
The oldest smelting ironware found in China is two iron bars unearthed from Mogouwa Cultural Tomb in Lintan County, Gansu Province, dating from 35 10 to 33 10 BC (15 BC10 BC 1365438 BC). It is found that these two iron bars are forged from "massive carburized steel" and belong to smelting metal.
Although China entered the Iron Age later than Italy and Europe, our metallurgical industry developed faster than them. And took the lead in applying ironware to agriculture and handicrafts, which greatly promoted the progress and development of society.
According to the records of archaeologists, when the boy with a dragon bracelet went out, he was not only buried with many jewels. There is also an earthenware pot on his head, which should contain some food. But because of too long time, these foods have become carbon tissues.
Combined with the burial specifications and the age of the bone structure, we can boldly speculate that the identity of this child should be a noble member of the Uraltu Kingdom. He died unfortunately for some reason, but his aristocratic status doomed his funeral to be luxurious.
Love his parents deeply, dress him with gorgeous jewels and put a pot of his favorite food in front of his head. I hope he can be happy in heaven.
