Chapter 2933: All parties gathered
After making sure to dig here, everyone unloaded the camping equipment from the bullet-proof SUVs, and then transported them to this col, and started camping in the col.
For safety reasons, on the hills on both sides, in a piece of wood on the slope, and the only exit of the col, Matisse and Seaman have set up sentries and sniper teams!
The tripartite joint exploration convoy located on the other side of the hill is also guarded by heavily armed security personnel and Egyptian military police, so there is no need to worry about the vehicle being stolen.
It didn’t take long for everyone to set up a camping tent and complete the camping work.
At this time, it was about one o'clock at noon, close to two o'clock.
Ye Tian checked the time, and then told the company employees under him to rest on the spot and prepare to eat lunch.
Since I’m camping in the wild, my lunch is naturally barbecue and beer, as well as beautiful music.
With several portable barbecue grills being set up, the charming aroma of charcoal grilled meat quickly permeated the entire campsite, spreading far away with the wind, stimulating people's appetite!
Compared with Ye Tian and the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, the Israelis and the Vatican exploration team members do not pay attention to food. They pay more attention to the secrets hidden in the mountains.
These guys did not choose to take a lunch break, but carried various exploration equipment back and forth, surveyed the terrain, analyzed the topography and landforms, and prepared for the upcoming excavation!
Since this is an archeological excavation, out of consideration of protecting the antique cultural relics and this historical site, it is obvious that large-scale machinery and equipment cannot be used for excavation, so as to avoid huge irreversible losses.
More importantly, the ancestors of the Israelis are buried in this cave, and there are a large number of corpses of Orthodox Christians. Excavation must be more cautious, and no mistakes can be made!
This is the decision. This excavation must take a long time and is a protracted battle!
The Israelis and the Vatican can only use manpower to excavate, so naturally they have to do it early!
While Ye Tian and the others were enjoying food and talking, laughing, and chatting, the Israelis and the Vatican had quickly worked out an excavation plan, and then under the command of several archaeologists, the excavation began.
At the same time, the tripartite joint exploratory team discovered the news of this hell-like cave in the middle of the mountain, and it quickly spread, and it quickly reached many people's ears.
It was the Egyptian officials who were on the scene to relay the news, as well as the numerous Egyptian military police who protected the tripartite joint exploratory team!
After hearing the news, people were taken aback by the situation in this cave, and they were terrified!
People are also full of curiosity about this hellish cave, and they are speculating about what happened in this cave and what secrets are hidden? Are the legendary treasures of Solomon and the ark hidden in this cave?
Who killed those Orthodox Christians who died tragically in the cave? It's so cruel!
Some guys who are staring at the three-party joint exploration team and have always coveted Solomon's treasure and the ark of the covenant. After receiving the news, they took action, and the tide came here!
In addition to them, people in some nearby cities and villages have also rushed here to watch the excitement. By the way, let’s see if there is any cheaper to pick it up!
In addition, the Egyptian Orthodox Church and St. Catherine’s Monastery each sent several senior monks to come here!
The discovery of the remains of the Orthodox Christians in the cave caused a huge shock in the Egyptian Orthodox Church and St. Catherine’s Monastery!
Because of reason, they will all come here to investigate the situation, and then organize the burial of the Orthodox believers who died in the massacre more than a thousand years ago, and pray for the dead!
When the time came to around three o’clock in the afternoon, a large number of people had gathered in the wilderness outside this mountain and on the slopes.
Among them, there are residents and tourists nearby, people from Cairo and other cities, and some guys coming for Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant.
After came here, many people wanted to enter this col, but they were stopped by the Egyptian military police who maintained order.
There are some guys who tried to enter this col from the trail, or climbed to the top of the mountain to look at it, but they fell into the hands of Mossad agents and the thirteenth commando and were all driven away!
As more and more people gathered here, the security pressure faced by the tripartite joint exploration team suddenly increased a lot!
And the excavation work in the col is in full swing.
The hillside in front of the cave was formed unnaturally due to man-made factors. Although it has been over a thousand years, it is still not as strong as the naturally formed mountain.
In order to avoid accidents such as landslides and collapses, the explorers who entered the cave were buried inside, so they could only excavate from top to bottom, and dig out all the stones and soil blocking the cave.
In this way, the workload is very large, plus the manual excavation, the progress can be imagined.
……
Soon, the time has come to night.
This is a starless night in a month, the light conditions are quite good, and the temperature has dropped, which is quite pleasant.
This mountain col, where the three-party joint exploration team is located, is brightly lit at this time, just like daylight.
Several searchlights were installed even on the tops of the hills on both sides and the edge of the woods. Under the control of the security personnel, the lights were constantly scanned around to prevent anyone from touching the valley in the dark.
The excavation work on the edge of the ancient castle site has never stopped. The Israelis and the Vatican exploration team took turns to dig out the stones and mud in front of the cliff.
During the excavation process, archaeologists and historians from both sides will come forward from time to time, carefully study the excavated stones and soil, and be ready to adjust the excavation plan at any time!
After several hours of continuous excavation, most of the sloping hillside has been dug up. The excavated stones and dirt piled up several hills next to it, which looked quite amazing!
The cave that was deliberately buried is getting closer and closer to reappearing in the world.
At the same time, some high-ranking officials of the Egyptian government and religious figures, as well as some archaeologists and historians, also rushed here one after another.
Among them are the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt, several senior monks of the Eastern Orthodox Egyptian Church, and several old friends from St. Catherine’s Monastery.
After these people arrived at this col, Ye Tian briefed them on the situation, and played the video data previously taken by the Dragonfly drone.
He also explained to these people that the possibility of the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the ark of the covenant being hidden in this cave is very small.
If it is finally confirmed that Solomon’s treasure is not in this cave, then all the antique relics and gold and silver treasures found in this cave will be divided equally between the Brave Fearless Exploration Company and the Egyptian government.
Regarding this result, the representative of the Egyptian government would naturally not refuse, and accepted it very happily, and hoped that the excavation would proceed faster!
Around ten o'clock in the evening~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian was chatting with the deputy dean of St. Catherine’s Abbey and others in the tent, asking about the research progress of the historical documents in the treasure of St. Helena, and the intercom suddenly rang.
Joshua’s voice came from the walkie-talkie, sounding quite excited.
"Steven, we're going to dig the opening of that cave soon. Should we continue digging or stop temporarily?"
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian stopped the conversation immediately, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Nice work, Joshua, I didn't expect you to dig the hole so quickly, much faster than I expected, but you have to stop now and can't continue digging!
It is night, which is not conducive to our next exploration work, and the surrounding light conditions are relatively poor. For safety reasons, it is impossible to dig the cave entrance.
Everyone has a hard day, let the guys rest first, wait until tomorrow morning, then dig the hole, start the next step of exploration and clean-up work, it is safer! "
"Understand, Steven, this arrangement is indeed safer"
Joshua responded and ended the call.
After that, Ye Tian also stood up, took David and the others and some old friends from St. Catherine's Monastery out of the tent, and walked to the excavation site.
