What is the function of the six questions used at the beginning of the poem in the text?

The rhetoric of parallelism is used. Through six consecutive questions, the language potential is enhanced, which shows the author's strong interest in science and strong thirst for knowledge. Continuous questioning has aroused readers' thinking and imagination, and also opened the floodgates of the author's thinking, allowing readers and the author to imagine the mysterious world hundreds of millions of years ago and listen to the fantastic myths told by fossils.
