Chapter 2870: The secret behind the well wall
Compared to the unusually dry ground, the Well of Moses was much wetter and much cooler.
The walls of this ancient well are all granite stones, one on top of another, and they are very strong. Judging from the way these granite stones are stacked, it is obviously man-made, rather than natural.
In the related books of Judaism and Christianity, as well as some ancient legends, the Well of Moses was originally a well at the foot of Mount Sinai. The terrain was very low and was excavated by the Midianites who lived here.
The water from this well is mainly for the Midianites who live nearby, and then the shepherds and sheep who graze here.
After Moses escaped from Egypt for the first time, he shepherded sheep to the Midianites on the Sinai Peninsula, where he kept sheep for forty years!
It was in the process of grazing that he met Sipola, who was also herding sheep here, beside this well, and the two met and eventually married.
The well at that time still maintained a relatively primitive state, with only an ancient well platform.
In the following long time, this well was repaired many times, and the platform was repaired higher and higher, and the ground around the well was gradually filled up, and the terrain became higher and higher.
The biggest and most important repair was when St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, came here to build a church. This well was repaired to its current appearance!
But the church of St. Helena and the Well of Moses were exposed in the wilderness and lacked protection.
It was not until the completion of St. Catherine’s Monastery in the sixth century AD that St. Helena’s Church and the Well of Moses were enclosed in the monastery, protected, and carefully taken care of by generations of St. Catherine’s Monastery monks.
If not, this well of Moses, which has been given a strong religious color, would have been completely buried by the yellow sand!
The granite stones that appeared on the monitoring screen were piled up during the construction of St. Helena's Church. On some of the stones, some symbols and words can still be seen vaguely.
It's just that there is a layer of moss on the wall of the well, so I can't see it clearly. I don't know the meaning of those words and symbols, and what they are written on.
While shooting the picture in the well, this small drone is also conducting detection, scanning the wall of the well with the small metal detector carried!
Unfortunately, there are no surprises.
The small drone continued to fly deep into the well, scanning the wall of the well little by little, but the chirp of the metal detector never sounded.
As time went by, the people who stayed around the Well of Moses became a little impatient, and disappointment appeared in the eyes of many people.
Almost ten minutes later, the small drone had reached eleven or two meters deep into the Well of Moses, and it was only three or four meters away from the water at the bottom of the well.
At this moment, a melodious cry suddenly came up from the bottom of the well and reached everyone's ears.
This sound seemed to be the sound of nature, and it awakened everyone on the scene in an instant, and also wiped out the disappointment in everyone's eyes!
Instead, there were bursts of ecstasy and excited cheers.
"Awesome! There really is an unknown secret hidden in the Well of Moses. I just don't know what this secret is, is it a treasure or something else?"
"Wow! Could it be that Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are really hidden in the Well of Moses? If that is the case, then this discovery will surely make a sensation around the world, and the Well of Moses will become even more sacred!"
The scene was immediately detonated, everyone cheered and high-five each other to celebrate.
Especially the Israelites, who have not yet determined whether the secrets hidden in the well of Moses are Solomon’s treasure and the ark, they are already in tears of excitement, and it is hard for them!
All religious figures, including the Bishop of Kent and the Dean of St. Catherine’s Abbey, were also very excited at this time, their complexions flushed, and their bodies were trembling slightly!
The high-ranking officials of the Egyptian government who were also on the scene had their eyes red in an instant, and they looked a little scary!
In addition to their excitement, they somewhat regretted it.
Knowing that there are shocking secrets hidden in the Well of Moses, and even the legendary treasures of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, we shouldn't have agreed to this magical fellow Steven to let them explore in the well.
Compared with the others on the scene, Ye Tian was much calmer, he just waved his fist gently to celebrate!
Immediately afterwards, he lightly patted Derek on the shoulder to let this guy control his emotions, not to get too excited, lest the small drone fall into the well water.
As soon as the sound of the metal detector sounded, Derek shook his arm excitedly.
Following his actions, the small drone hovering in the Well of Moses swayed abruptly and almost hit the wall of the well. That would be troublesome!
After Ye Tian's reminder, Derek immediately woke up, quickly controlled his emotions, and continued to control the small drone steadily.
Only then did Ye Tian begin to introduce the situation detected by the small drone.
"Gentlemen, on the well wall of the Well of Moses about 11 meters deep, the small drone detected a very strong metal signal, but the well wall in that area was granite rocks.
In other words, inside that well wall, there is a hidden space with a large number of metal objects hidden inside, which is qualified to be hidden in this way, and naturally it is a priceless treasure of gold and silver.
From the analysis of the signal detected by the metal detector, these metal objects are piled together in a large number, and in this secret space, there seems to be a metal statue.
The metal statue is not big, it is less than one meter high. It is either a bronze statue or a gold statue. As for who the carved figures are, whether they are male or female, it is unclear for the time being!
Except for a large number of metal objects and the statue, what else is in the hidden space behind the well wall is temporarily unknown. Only by opening that space can the result be known! "
Having said that, Ye Tian turned over the IPAD in his hand, and pointed the screen at other people on the scene, allowing everyone to see the detection results.
With his action, everyone on the scene immediately rushed to him, rushing directly in front of him, scrambling to check the content on the IPAD!
Needless to say, they saw the metal objects hidden behind the wall of the well. Although they were just some phantoms, they were so attractive, enough to make people crazy!
Just as everyone looked at those phantoms intoxicated, Joshua had already raised his head to look at Ye Tian, and said quickly in a trembling voice:
"Steven, now that you have discovered the secret hidden in the Well of Moses, can we take the next step? Send people down to explore, our people are already ready!
If this secret hidden in the well of Moses is really the treasure of Solomon and the ark, it would be great! Their discovery will surely stir the whole world, and all Jews will be crazy about it! "
Ye Tian shook his head lightly, and said in a leisurely manner:
"Don't worry, Joshua, we still have a lot of work to do before we embark on the next step~www.wuxiaspot.com~. We need to thoroughly explore the remaining walls of the Well of Moses. Maybe there will be other discoveries.
Next, we have to hoist a small underwater robot into the Well of Moses, and take a closer look at the situation below the surface of the water. Only after completing these tasks can we send people into the Well of Moses to explore! "
Having said that, Ye Tian nodded to Derek, and asked him to continue to explore with the small drone and scan other parts of the well wall.
Derek nodded in response and acted immediately.
As for Joshua, he was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, wait a while, I believe I can survive this time!"
Before his words fell, another melodious scream came from the Well of Moses, which was exactly the sound made by the metal detector.
There was also Derek's voice that sounded at the same time.
"Wow! This hidden space behind the wall of the well does not look small, there are many metal objects hidden inside!"
