Chapter 2262: Knight's grave
In the main church, exploratory action has begun.
According to Ye Tian's assignment, seven or eight two-person exploration teams quickly dispersed to different areas of the church, and began to scan the ground and walls with the pulse metal detector they brought to explore the treasure.
Ye Tian himself was not idle, he looked down at the ground under his feet, pretending to be earnestly looking for clues about the treasure.
The three Portuguese who were in charge of on-site supervision followed him closely, staring at his every move, and everyone's eyes were full of expectations.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has discovered something.
"Steven, come and take a look at this granite floor. It is carved with a mysterious symbol unique to the Knights Templar, which is similar to the mysterious symbols we saw in other places before."
The voice of the Bishop of Kent came over, sounding quite excited.
He and two other senior Vatican monks were three or four meters away, and they were also exploring. At the moment, they are studying a piece of granite on the floor.
Hearing what he said, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look over there, and walked over there.
The rest of the people on the scene are the same, they all looked at the bishop of Kent, and everyone's eyes flashed with surprise.
Is this the treasure found? The surprise came too soon!
Within a few steps, Ye Tian came to the Bishop of Kent and the others, following the direction of Bishop Kent's fingers, looking at the irregular granite floor on the ground.
On this granite floor, there is indeed a mysterious symbol unique to the Knights Templar. It looks a bit like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, but it is specious. No one understands the meaning!
In addition, on another adjacent piece of granite floor, there is a half of the remaining horse and other crosses. Although it has been eroded by years and has been stepped on by countless people, its outline is still clearly visible.
Seeing this half of the horse and other crosses, everyone immediately understood one thing.
At some time in the past, the floor of this church has been passive or renovated. Some of the granite floors that were originally paved in the church have been replaced, and some have been replaced because of damage.
The color, texture, and shape of the granite floors on the ground, as well as the traces of repairs, are enough to prove this!
The floor engraved with mysterious symbols is still well preserved, but the floor with half a horse and other crosses is only half left, and the other half has long been missing.
After quickly scanning the situation on the floor, Ye Tian nodded and said:
"Yes, this is indeed the mysterious symbol of the Knights Templar, and it is in the same line as the mysterious symbols we found in several other places. Unfortunately, I don't know its meaning!"
With that, Ye Tian squatted down and gently stroked the mysterious symbol engraved on the floor with his hand.
The others also looked at the mysterious symbol, confused, and secretly guessed what it meant.
After observing for a while, Ye Tian looked up at Father Ramirez and asked curiously:
"Father Ramirez, it is well known that the Portuguese Jesuits evolved from the Portuguese branch of the Knights Templar, and for a long time, Tomar was the headquarters of the Jesuits.
This is the main church of Tomar again. According to common sense, these mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar should have been passed down in your Portuguese Jesuits. I wonder if you know this mysterious symbol? "
Upon hearing this, Father Ramirez and Sister Sofia's faces flushed, obviously a little embarrassed.
"I'm disappointed, Steven, I don't know this mysterious symbol. As far as I know, no one in the Portuguese Jesuits knows these mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar.
Yes, the Portuguese Jesuits were indeed born out of the Portuguese branch of the Knights Templar, but many of the mysterious and profound knowledge of the Knights Templar has not been passed down and has long been lost.
In this church, there are many mysterious symbols like this. Some are carved on the granite floor, some are carved on the wall, and even on the altar, there are such mysterious symbols.
According to records, in the early eighteenth century, the ground here was renovated once, replacing part of the broken granite floor, otherwise there would be more mysterious symbols of unknown meaning.”
Father Ramirez introduced the situation, but it was of no use.
"That's really a shame. In that case, we don't have to spend time and energy studying the meaning of this mysterious symbol. Just scan it with a metal detector and see if we can find anything!"
Ye Tian continued speaking, with a bit of regret in his tone.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the granite floor in front of him, and asked the two employees who followed him to scan it with a pulsed metal detector.
The results of the scan were disappointing. There were no metal objects under these granite floors, and the pulse metal detector did not respond.
To be precise, from the ground down to a depth of about six meters and five meters deep underground, there is no metal object buried.
As for whether there are metal objects deeper underground, it is unknown!
However, the east is not bright and the west is bright!
Just when everyone was a little disappointed, there was a melodious sound of a pulse metal detector not far away, which sounded like a natural sound, very touching.
Immediately afterwards, a pleasantly surprised voice came over.
"Steven, we detected a very strong metal signal, which is about two meters underground. You'd better come and take a look. Maybe it's a treasure."
Hearing this, Ye Tian would hesitate no matter what, and immediately walked over there.
David and the Bishop of Kent, as well as the three Portuguese, followed suit one after another. Everyone's footsteps were extremely brisk.
While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked to the detection team.
He did not immediately look at the LCD screen of the pulse metal detector to check and analyze the detected metal signal, but instead looked at the piece of ground where the metal signal was detected.
as predicted!
On this ground, he once again saw the granite floor engraved with the mysterious symbol of the Knights Templar, but this mysterious symbol was different from the previous one.
After a quick glance at the ground, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at the LCD screen of the pulse metal detector, and began to analyze the detected metal signal!
At this time, David and the three Portuguese also followed. Everyone looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to the results of his analysis!
In just a few moments, Ye Tian came to a conclusion.
"Unfortunately, although this is also a small treasure, it does not have much mining value, at least for our joint exploration team. Our goal is the treasure of the Knights Templar.
From the analysis of the metal signal scanned by the pulse metal detector, this metal object buried deep underground is almost a Templar, and he should be wearing a full set of Crusader knight equipment.
The reason for saying this is that I analyzed the length, width, and posture of this metal object. The Templar knight wearing a full set of knight equipment should have been buried in a coffin.
If unsurprisingly, he should have a crusader knight sword he used in front of him, a triangle knight shield and a knight helmet on his side, just like Guardim outside."
With that, Ye Tian put his hands on his chest and made a posture of sleeping with a knight sword in his hand, which looked very vivid.
Before everyone responded, he went on to say:
"This is the church built by Guardim Pais. It can also be said to be the church of the Templars. In the Middle Ages, this kind of church was often the place where the Templars would rest after their death.
Not only the Knights Templar, but in the western world, there are many celebrity tombs in many historic churches~www.wuxiaspot.com~ For example, Michelangelo is buried in the Santa Croce in Florence.
The Templars who are eligible to be buried in this church must not be ordinary people. His Crusader knight equipment may be very valuable, and there may be many wonderful stories in him.
However, out of respect for the deceased, I do not intend to dig this treasure. This is not my style of doing things. As for whether others will dig, it has nothing to do with us."
Hearing his analysis, everyone at the scene nodded lightly, with no disagreement.
The only exception is the Portuguese archaeologist.
The buddy's eyes lit up suddenly, a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he was even ready to move.
It seems that there is a saying that is right at all. To a certain extent, archaeologists are legitimate tomb thieves.
The Portuguese archaeologist in front of him apparently started the idea of the Templar knight who was resting deep underground, preparing to dig someone's grave!
