Chapter 2986: Ancient Egyptian Column
This is an irregular semicircular stone, only half the size of a basketball. It is located in a pile of chaotic rocks on the top of the mountain. It is very inconspicuous and hard to be found!
The reason it was discovered by the Columbia University archaeologist was because it hit the other's foot. The archaeologist found the stone when he sat down with his feet in his hands.
In the place where this stone is close to the ground, an ancient Greek letter ψ is engraved, but a lotus flower with a simple and very vague shape is engraved beside it, which makes people confused.
Due to the age too old, these two stone carvings are already very vague. If you don't observe it closely, it is generally difficult to find!
If you compare carefully, you will find that the scores of the ancient Greek letters are relatively clear, but the scores of the lotus mark are more vague, and they are almost disappearing.
Seeing these two marks, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling a little surprised. He observed the stone carefully, then thought for a moment, then said:
"Why this ancient Greek letter ψ appeared on the same stone as the lotus flower symbolizing Upper Egypt is really interesting and worth pondering.
Everyone knows that when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 334 BC, the Ptolemaic dynasty established by the Greeks was the last dynasty of ancient Egypt.
During the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty, ancient Greek characters were able to enter ancient Egypt and gradually spread in ancient Egypt. This ancient Greek alphabet should have been carved on this stone during that period!
The lotus pattern engraved on this stone is a symbol of Upper Egypt. After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the lotus pattern is rarely used alone, and often appears at the same time as the papyrus symbolizing Lower Egypt!
In the Ptolemaic dynasty established by the Greeks, both the lotus pattern and the papyrus pattern are rarely used. From this point of view, the lotus pattern should be older.
According to my assessment, the time when this lotus flower pattern was carved on this stone was at least before 1500 BC, and it may even be even longer. It may also be traced back to the time before Menis unified Egypt.
In other words, the time when this lotus flower pattern was carved on this stone is probably more than a thousand years earlier than this ancient Greek letter. Their clarity can explain a little bit! "
Hearing this, the archaeologist from Columbia University said:
"Yes, I am also very puzzled. It stands to reason that this ancient Greek letter and this single lotus pattern should not appear on the same stone, but this kind of thing happened!
Perhaps this is the case. The lotus pattern on this stone existed a long time ago. During the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty, someone came here and carved this ancient Greek letter on this stone.
But what I don’t understand is, what does this ancient Greek letter mean here? Is it purely literal, that is, ‘mysterious, unknown’, or does it have other deeper meanings? "
While he said this, Ye Tian and several other experts and scholars were carefully examining the semi-circular stone, and they kept touching with their hands.
After a while, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, what we are seeing now is perhaps only a part of this stone, that is, the top of the stone exposed on the ground. According to my observations, this stone should not be exposed for a long time.
I don't even rule out the possibility that this is not a stone at all, but a round stone pillar, but most of the stone pillar is buried, only the top head is exposed.
This may be a note column, or it may be an ancient Egyptian prophecy column, just like those prophetic columns we found in the Mayan Golden City, this kind of thing exists in many ancient civilizations!
If this is a note post, it just explains why there are words and patterns that are very different from the two ages on it, because the people who once ruled here can write on it.
If things go on like this, this ancient stone pillar may have been inscribed with all kinds of words and patterns from all ages. Perhaps there is the information we are looking for about Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant!
The ancient Greek letters and lotus signs carved on this stone may be difficult to understand if you look at it in isolation. If there are words and patterns under them, this problem may not exist!
If this is really a column of writing or prophecy that spans thousands of years of ancient Egypt’s history, then there is no doubt that its discovery will cause a huge sensation. Of course, these are just speculations and need to be verified! "
Before the words fell, the pan was fryed instantly at the scene, and crazy exclamations immediately sounded.
"Oh my god! The idea of a pillar or prophetic pillar that spans thousands of years of ancient Egypt is crazy. If that is the case, then this is definitely a great archaeological discovery!"
"If this is really a prophetic column or a memorial column, doesn't it mean that we only need to dig out this stone column and we will be able to overview almost all the major events that happened in ancient Egypt for thousands of years!"
Amidst the frantic exclamations one after another, the eyes of everyone looking at the semi-circular stone on the ground have become extremely hot, they are about to burn, and they are even a little crazy!
Especially Ahmed was shaking slightly with excitement.
If he was still a little uncomfortable after leaving the Pyramid of Apophis I before, and some grudges, then he is now very lucky to be here and witness another miracle!
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, whether this speculation is correct or not is not certain. The best way to check is to dig this stone out of the mountain to see if there are any secrets hidden under it. I hope it will be a huge surprise!"
"Then what are you waiting for, Steven, let's get started. The employees of your company are busy digging this stone. Leave it to us. We often do this kind of work when we are in the field of archaeology. !"
Several archaeologists said in unison, one after another, lest they lose this golden opportunity!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then agreed to their request~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gentlemen, you can dig this stone, or the ancient note post, but you must obey my command. Don’t make your own claims or act without authorization.
This is different from the archeological operations that you presided over in the past. You cannot use tweezers and brushes to excavate little by little. Under the premise of protecting the antique and cultural relics, the excavation speed should be as fast as possible"
Before the words finished, several archaeologists nodded in unison.
"Don't worry, Steven, we are already familiar with this kind of thing. If we want to be fast, we will be fast, and we will be slow if we want to be slow!"
"Well, let's start now, and hope to get a huge surprise!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian ordered the two employees of the company to get the excavating tools.
After a while, the excavation work began. It was a few archaeologists who did the work, and Ye Tian stood by and became a supervisor!
The scene that took place on the top of the mountain was clearly seen by the media reporters holding telescopes and telephoto lenses at the foot of the mountain.
Although they didn't see the stone on the ground, they were very sure that there must be a major discovery on the top of the mountain!
"Look, everyone, those famous archaeologists did their own digging. They must have found something, saying it was another sensational archaeological discovery!"
"Wow! Steven this guy is really amazing, no matter where he goes, he can do miracles!"
