Why Japan is not interested in archeology

Center tip: Almost every country in the world attaches great importance to its own history and is carrying out archaeological activities. However, Japan is the only advanced country that does not care much about archeology. Is it really because some countries Do they only focus on the past, while some developed countries only care about the future? There is still another hidden secret.

my country is a country that attaches great importance to history. Before the founding of New China, the phenomenon of tomb robbing was very serious in our country. For this reason, the archaeological team excavated some ancient tombs. For our country, archeology does play a very important historical role. From the excavation of Qin Shihuang’s Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the eighth wonder in the world, to the Sanxingdui Tomb and the excavation of Haihunhou Liu He’s tomb, the unearthed cultural relics are enough to prove China’s past glory. , to better understand China for the world.

People say that Americans don’t like archeology. Americans really don’t like archeology because their history is too short, only a few hundred years, and there are only a few records. It's very detailed, so there's basically no need for archeology.

Talk seriously about Japan. I rarely hear news about archeology in Japan. The only time I saw it was that an archaeological team in Japan discovered 100,000 Animal fossils from 2000 years ago, and at a time when the whole country was hotly debated, a photographer captured a professor sneaking into the archaeological site and burying a stone tool from last week. Then wait for the archaeologists to discover it. Do you think this is ridiculous?

There are many reasons why the Japanese don’t like archeology. The first is that a large part of their history is made up. At least the first 2000 years are vague and there are no precise records. It is said that Japan’s Chrysanthemum Dynasty has a history of more than 2,600 years, but the Japanese just don’t dare to go there. Excavating the emperor's tomb, why? Because many tombs are fake! Second, it is understandable that Japanese culture originated from China. Many historians believe that the Yamato people in Japan are actually immigrants from the Hani people in Yunnan, because their customs are somewhat similar and the true gods they believe in are also the same. How embarrassing it would be for the Japanese to take the exams and find out that they are immigrants. So it’s not that Japan doesn’t love archeology, it’s that it simply doesn’t dare to do it.

I hope Japan can face up to its history! Don't revise history arbitrarily!
