It is reported that recently, a very precious ancient Roman mosaic was excavated in a small village in West Berkshire, England. At present, there are only three works of the same type in the world. Therefore, archaeologists regard it as one of the most exciting discoveries in Britain in the past 50 years. However, among the millennium cultural relics excavated, stones suspected of writing 'Jim here' in simplified Chinese were found, which attracted the attention of the archaeological community.
Experts infer that this mosaic of Roman art style was completed about 1600 years ago. It tells the story of the Greek character Pelops (the son of Dione and Tantalus and the grandson of Zeus) winning the princess Hippodamia through the chariot race.
Nichol, an archaeologist involved in the excavation, said that this mural has high attainments in portraits and images. At present, there are only three works of the same type in the world, so it is invaluable. Local archaeologists even hailed it as one of the most exciting discoveries in Britain in 50 years.
In fact, this Roman mosaic mural was discovered in 2017, but because the work was too large, the conditions at that time did not allow it to be excavated, so scholars covered it with soil again. Recently, the relevant team convened a number of volunteers to dig, and spent 10 days to bring the painting back to light.
However, it is inconceivable that among a series of unearthed cultural relics, a stone engraved with the simplified Chinese character 'Jim is here' was found, which aroused great concern in the archaeological community. According to the preliminary analysis of archaeological experts, the stones engraved with simplified Chinese characters are likely to be inadvertently left here by later generations, not buried underground in the same age.
