Chapter 3001: Remains of the era of the black pharaohs
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
The area of the ruins of this ancient Jewish temple is actually small, only about 100 square meters. This is still the area formed after the collapse, and it must be smaller before it collapsed.
Due to the age too old, only a few short stone walls remain in this temple, standing stubbornly on the ground. Other things have already fallen apart, and the original appearance can no longer be seen.
When he came here, Ye Tianxian asked his company employees to quickly scan the place with a pulse metal detector.
After confirming that there were no landmines and no other traps, everyone walked into the ruins.
Next, everyone spread out, each selected an area, and began to explore.
Ye Tian and an archaeologist from Columbia University came to a low stone wall to check the condition of the stone wall.
After a while, they discovered something.
On a granite foundation stone at the root of this stone wall, there are carved several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, as well as some strange patterns and decorations, most of which are various animal patterns, which are different from those of ancient Egypt's animal heads and gods!
Compared with the previous discoveries in Egypt, the hieroglyphs and patterns carved on this stone are very rough, lacking aesthetics, and more like hand-painted graffiti!
The characters in the pattern are closer to blacks than to ancient Egyptians.
What's more peculiar is that images of giraffes and baboons appear in these patterns, which are rarely seen in many historical and cultural sites in Egypt.
"Steven, these ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns should have been carved by Nubians, not by ancient Egyptians. Of course, they may have been carved by Israelis who were slaves.
After the Nubian dynasty conquered ancient Egypt, although there had been nearly a hundred years of glory, the time was still too short, and the influence of ancient Egyptian civilization on the Nubians was not particularly profound.
Regarding this point, it can be confirmed from these irregular ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the Nubians are black, not the same as the ancient Egyptians, and there is a big difference in appearance.
The images of these giraffes and baboons appeared in ancient Egyptian patterns and murals, starting from the Nubian dynasty. They were tributes paid by the Nubians to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.”
Said the Columbia University archaeologist.
Ye Tian didn't respond immediately, but squatted down to examine the granite foundation stone carefully. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"You are right, Professor Howard, the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns on this granite bedrock were carved at least 2,500 years ago, when the Nubian dynasty returned from ancient Egypt to Sudan.
These things have a certain historical and cultural research value, and can be regarded as antique relics. They can reflect part of the situation in the Nubian dynasty and also explain the influence of the ancient Egyptian civilization on the Nubians.
The name Nubia comes from the ancient Egyptian word for gold. Before the rise of the Nubian dynasty, for a long time, Nubians needed ancient Egypt to pay tribute to a large number of slaves, gold, ivory, etc...."
"It is true. Until the rise of the Nubian dynasty, Nubian talents got rid of the fate of being enslaved and created a very unique and shiny black pharaoh era in the history of ancient Egypt!"
Professor Howard nodded and said.
Next, they carefully inspected the other parts of the stone wall, and found some words and patterns, as well as traces of history.
Among these ancient characters and patterns, there are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, ancient Hebrew characters, and some symbols and characters that do not understand the meaning at all.
The part of the text and patterns that can be translated did not reveal any information related to Solomon's treasure and the ark, and was of little value.
At the same time, several other archaeologists and historians have also discovered.
What they found were also some ancient words and patterns carved on the stone, some from the ancient Egyptian period, some from BC, and some from the post-Christian era.
These characters are also different, from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, to ancient Hebrew, to ancient Arabic, and some unidentified characters have long been lost!
In these words and patterns, no one found any information about Solomon’s treasure.
This result is undoubtedly disappointing for everyone.
In other parts of this valley, many brave and fearless exploration company employees are divided into several groups, each holding a pulse metal detector, scanning this valley.
After a while, an excited voice came from the intercom.
"Steven, we found some metal objects buried in the ground, about four or five, and the buried location is not very deep, you can come and have a look!"
"Okay, let's go over at once"
Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and responded, and then walked to the place where the exploratory group was.
The exploratory team was not far from him, separated by seven or eighty meters, and arrived in a flash.
Seeing them coming, the guy who reported the situation immediately said:
"Steven, right here, about three meters deep underground, we found some metal objects, a total of four or five pieces, stacked together, I don't know what they are, so I asked you to come and have a look."
With that said, the guy also scanned the ground with a pulsed metal detector, and there was a pleasant hum.
Ye Tian stepped forward, checked the detection data on the LCD, and analyzed it secretly before shook his head and said:
"Judging from the shape, these metal objects buried deep in the ground should not be treasures. They are probably ancient weapons. In terms of the depth of burial, they have been buried here for at least 1,500 years.
These ancient weapons may have a certain value and are antique cultural relics, but they are not the goal of our trip, and there is no need to expend manpower and material resources to dig for this. Just leave them to the Sudan! ".
"Ah! It turned out to be some ancient weapons, we thought it was a treasure!"
The two company employees sighed in unison, somewhat disappointed.
"The treasure is not so easy to find, otherwise it will be worthless. Keep working."
Ye Tian said with a smile.
After chatting for a few words, he took people out of here, returned to the central area of the valley, and continued to explore the ruins.
In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
The area in the middle of the valley has been explored, and there are no surprises.
Except for the words and patterns carved on the stone, no one found anything.
But this is also normal. Before the tripartite joint exploratory team came here, the Israelis and Sudanese did not know how many times they had come here, and they had already turned this place upside down.
Under the ruins in the middle of the valley, if there were any treasures hidden, they would have been discovered by the Israelis and Sudanese a long time ago, and they would never be kept until now.
After exploring this area, everyone spread out and continued to explore other places.
The result was the same. After an hour or two, there were still no surprises.
During this period, many exploration teams under Ye Tian also scanned some metal objects buried deep underground.
But most of those metal objects exist in isolation, and have nothing to do with each other. At most, they are only three or five things stacked together. Obviously, they are not treasures.
After some analysis, Ye Tian basically determined that those metal objects were either ancient weapons, agricultural tools, and other metal products, such as bronzes.
For the tripartite joint exploration team, as long as it has nothing to do with Solomon’s treasure and other treasures that are not exciting, it is not worth digging, and they can only be left to the Sudanese.
As time goes by, the weather gets hotter and hotter.
Fortunately, there are still some shady places in the valley, and the exploration on the ground has basically been completed. You can take turns to those shady places to rest for a while, and it won't be so hard.
Ye Tian also returned to a palm tree, resting for a while.
While standing still to enjoy the cold, he kept looking at the cliffs around the valley to see what he could find.
Except for the exit to the northeast, the valley is surrounded by cliffs. The cliff on the west is the highest at nearly 100 meters. The cliffs on the other two sides are about 60 to 70 meters high.
The cliffs on these three sides are very steep, like a knife and axe, and bare, without even a single tree.
That is to say, in Sudan, a remote and largely unknown place, if it is changed to Europe or the Americas, it is estimated that this place has already become a rock climbing resort and a paradise for countless adventurers to challenge themselves.
Ye Tian scanned all three cliffs, and then thought for a moment before he said to Joshua who was standing on the side:
"As far as I know, Joshua, you have sent people to explore this place more than once before. I wonder if you have explored these three cliffs? Have you found anything?"
Joshua did not immediately respond to this question, but whispered a few sentences with an Israeli archaeologist next to him, and then the archaeologist came forward to answer it.
"Yes, Steven, since we knew that this valley was where the ancestors of the Israelites once lived, we did send people to explore here several times to see if we could find anything.
However, apart from some stone sculptures inscribed with ancient Hebrew and various patterns, there are no other surprises. As for the towering cliffs on three sides, we did not explore them carefully.
Initially because of conditions, these three cliffs are very steep, and our relationship with the Sudanese government has been poor. For most of the time, our two countries are in a state of hostility.
In this way, we can't let go of our hands and feet and start exploring in this valley. We can only do everything possible to avoid the eyes of the Sudanese and explore quietly without daring to fantasize.
In the early 1980s, an exploration team from Israel entered this valley for the first time and began to explore. In that operation, they initially explored the three cliffs.
They used climbing ropes to slowly hang down from the top of the cliff, and roughly checked the situation of the three cliffs, but found nothing. The next few actions were basically limited to the ground.
Until last year, another Israeli exploration team entered this valley and used a small drone to check the conditions of the three cliffs. There was still no surprise."
After listening to the introduction, Ye Tian fell silent and fell into thinking.
After thinking about it for about a minute or two, he said:
"Joshua, since we have come to this valley, don't miss any possibility, and explore all the places where treasures may be buried, including these three steep cliffs.
We can tie a few climbing ropes to the top of the cliff, hang them down from the top, and hang straight down the valley floor, take safety measures, and then let security team members with rock climbing experience descend along the cliff to explore.
In addition, we can also use drones with small metal detectors to explore these three cliffs and scan them thoroughly to see if we can find something. Maybe there will be surprises! "
Joshua first looked at the three steep cliffs, thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Well, Steven, since you said that, let's send people to explore these three steep cliffs. This tripartite joint exploration operation is led by you, so naturally you have the final say.
On the top of these three cliffs, there are our people guarding them. They can set up a safety rope on the top of the mountain, and then you can choose the exploration team to perform this dangerous exploration mission."
Ye Tian nodded, and then said:
"Then it's settled, let me observe the three cliffs carefully, determine the appropriate rope drop route, and then select a few security personnel with rich rock climbing experience to explore the rope drop from the top."
"Okay, Steven, it's all up to you!"
Joshua nodded in response, and everyone else on the scene nodded, and there was no disagreement.
Next, Ye Tian summoned Matisse and the others and began to assign tasks.
"Matis, you let the guys guarding the top of the cliffs around the valley meet the Israelis, choose a suitable place on the top of the cliff, set up rope drop and safety facilities, and stay there!
In order to ensure the safety of the cable descending and exploratory team members, we must not only set up safety ropes on the top of the cliff, but also set up rock nails on the three cliffs, and also set up safety ropes at the bottom of the cliff, double insurance! "
"No problem, Steven, leave these things to us, don't worry!"
Matisse nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and started to notify the security personnel hiding outside the valley.
Ye Tian turned to Derek and said to this guy:
"Derek, you bring a few guys, bring three small drones over, and fly these three cliffs thoroughly. I want to check the situation of the three cliffs carefully~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to determine a suitable cable descending route.
After flying over the three cliffs, you will install a miniature metal detector on each of the small drones and scan the three steep cliffs thoroughly to see if you can find something! "
Before the words were over, the kid Derek nodded excitedly and said:
"Understood, Steven, we are ready now, you just wait for the result here!"
After speaking, the boy turned and left, and took a few company employees straight to the place where a lot of exploration equipment was piled up.
In a short time, they took three small drones out, and then quickly debugged them, and in a blink of an eye they were ready to take off and explore.
"Okay, let's get started!"
With an order, the three small drones whizzed up and flew straight to the three steep cliffs around the valley.
Ye Tian was sitting in the shade of palm trees, enjoying the coolness of the shade, while watching the pictures returned by three small drones!
