Chapter 3034: Change of parties
"This is actually the legendary Solomon treasure? It's incredible!"
Mustafa muttered to himself, looking desperate.
At this time, he was in a very complicated mood, both excited and full of worries.
Fortunately, the ark of the covenant was not in this cave deep underground, otherwise the trouble would be big.
In that case, Ethiopia might have a magnitude ten earthquake!
Compared with him, several Israelis headed by Joshua were plunged into utter madness.
Each of them flushed with excitement, and their eyes were extremely enthusiastic, and they were about to burn.
The deputy curator of the Vatican Museums and two archaeologists performed the same.
Ye Tian looked at these guys and chuckled a few times.
Immediately afterwards, he nodded to Derek and the others, signalling to continue the exploration.
In addition to the golden statue of King Solomon and the Ethiopian version of the seven-branched candlestick, there are many things hidden in the deepest part of the cave.
On both sides of the golden statue of King Solomon, there are also many gold products, radiating bright golden light.
These gold products are placed on several staggered steps, adding up to dozens of pieces.
Among these gold products, there are a variety of simple and even simple gold tableware and wine utensils, such as gold plates and gold wine glasses.
There are also many religious items, such as golden statues and candlesticks.
In addition, there are several sabers and knives studded with gold jewels.
From the shape and artistic style of these gold products, it can be seen that some of them are from BC, and some are manufactured after AD.
In other words, some of them are from Jerusalem; some are the works of Beta Israelis, or they are collected from other places!
The words, various exquisite patterns and patterns engraved on these gold products are also sufficient to explain their origins.
In addition to these dazzling gold products, there are more than 20 boxes stacked on the ground of the cave.
These boxes vary in size, and they are covered with moss and green, covering their true colors.
As for what these boxes contain, whether they are dazzling gold and silver treasures, religious relics of special significance, or priceless top antique cultural relics and works of art, it is temporarily unknown.
Only by transporting these boxes to the ground and opening them one by one can we know the final answer.
There are several statues in front of and on the walls of the cave.
They are either marble statues, gilt bronze statues, or carved on the walls of the cave. They are of different sizes and poses.
Those marble statues and gilt bronze statues are relatively simple in carving craftsmanship and relatively small in size, and they look older.
Without exception, the characters they sculpt are derived from Old Testament stories.
Either an Israeli prophet, or an Israeli saint, or a legendary character.
The statues carved on the walls of the cave are relatively rough in style, larger in size, and have a very obvious African cultural color.
Except for the two gilt statues, the rest of the statues are covered with moss, which is not very real.
The walls around the cave are also covered with moss, covering everything.
Whether a large number of ancient Hebrew texts and murals are carved on the cave wall is not known for the time being.
Only when the exploration team enters it and wipes off the moss, can everyone see the situation on the cave wall clearly.
Although the cave is relatively humid, there is no accumulation of water on the ground.
Obviously, the permeable conditions on the ground of the cave are good, and there may be drainage holes.
Apart from these, there is nothing else in the cave.
Compared with the treasures of the Knights Templar found in Portugal and the pyramids found in Egypt, the scale of this treasure is not large!
However, the value of this treasure is not inferior.
The discovery of this treasure is bound to cause a huge sensation, and even rewrite the partial history of the West, Israel, and Africa!
Within a short while, the situation in the depths of the cave has been roughly ascertained.
Ye Tian looked at everyone at the scene, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, the situation of this treasure is also generally clear. Next, we should discuss how to pick up this amazing treasure and let them see the sky again.
Judging from the situation in the cave, it will definitely take a lot of time to clean up this treasure, at least a few days. During this time, it is impossible for us to be completely confidential.
For the sake of safety, we need to have a unified approach. Although this is part of Solomon’s treasure, given the special circumstances of Ethiopia, we must not make such a claim to the outside world.
Because this treasure is located deep underground in Noah's Ark Church, we can call it the Noah's Ark Treasure in order to cover people's eyes. What do you think about this? "
Following his remarks, everyone at the scene became sober.
Everyone looked at each other, and then nodded together.
"Okay, Steven, this proposal is good, and I agree. It is true that you cannot claim to the public that you have found a part of Solomon's treasure. That is likely to cause turmoil in the entire Ethiopian society!"
Mustafa continued, his eyes full of worry.
Others also realized this problem, their faces became very solemn.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then said:
"Well, since everyone has reached a consensus, then when going out from Noah's Ark Church later, and when leaving the Fasilidas castle complex, the external caliber must be consistent.
If someone asks, some media reporters ask, then everyone will say that, we did find a treasure deep underground in Noah's Ark Church, and named it Noah's Ark Treasure.
In this way, everyone is not lying! Regarding the details of this treasure, what is hidden in the treasure must not be disclosed, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble."
"Okay, Steven"
Everyone at the scene nodded without objection.
Next, Ye Tian said some precautions, just for confidentiality and security.
And Joshua, who stood by, was already waiting and couldn't wait.
As soon as the voice fell, Joshua said eagerly:
"Steven, the situation in the cave has been roughly ascertained. Is it possible to clean up this part of Solomon's treasure now? Our people are ready and ready to act.
In addition to the golden icons and other objects seen in the surveillance screen, there must be many very important secrets hidden in this cave deep underground! "
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Yes! Joshua, your people can enter this cave, start further exploration, and start clearing this amazing treasure and let them see the sun again.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that there are no deadly traps in this cave, but the terrain in the cave is very complicated and there are still certain dangers, so be careful.
When your people enter the cave, you need to bring a pulse metal detector to scan the underground cave thoroughly to determine if there are any hidden traps.
After confirming the safety, you will proceed to the next step to completely clean up this amazing treasure and transport it to the ground before proceeding with subsequent archaeological research."
Before he could say anything, the Israeli archaeologist who was standing next to him immediately stepped out and said expectantly:
"Steven and Joshua, let me lead the team into the cave to clean up this part of Solomon's treasure. Please believe that I am capable of this task, and I have enough experience and confidence!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the Israeli archaeologist.
"I believe you can do this task, Asaph, I have no doubt about your academic level and archaeological experience, but there is a question here, are you a Beta Israeli?"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said.
"Ah!"
The Israeli archaeologist named Asaph was immediately dumbfounded.
The others also froze for a moment, and reacted randomly.
Those who are eligible to enter the cave to clean up this part of Solomon's treasure can only be Beta Israelis, and no one else is eligible to enter!
Unless the Israelis disregard the warnings of their ancestors and insist on sending others into this cave!
Such a place with extremely special significance, even a holy place, do the Israelites dare to do it?
As soon as the voice fell, Joshua continued to say:
"You can't enter this cave to clean up this part of Solomon's treasure. Asaph, Beta Israeli ancestors have protected these treasures for more than two thousand years. This honor should be enjoyed by Beta Israelis!"
"I understand this, Joshua, I was too excited and too anxious to ignore this!"
Asaph nodded, somewhat disappointed.
Next, Ye Tian called the two Beta Israeli exploration team members over and told them some precautions.
Later, he asked his employees to introduce the use of the pulse metal detector.
At the same time, Derek also recovered two small drones.
About ten minutes later, the two exploratory team members from Beta Israelis walked into the prayer rooms on the left and right sides of the crucifixion cross one after another.
Immediately afterwards, they were slowly hoisted into the deep pit in the prayer house, and then into the cave deep underground to start further exploration and clean-up work.
Ye Tian stood in the center of Noah's Ark Church and directed through video surveillance.
As the first exploratory team member was hoisted into the cave, the cave suddenly became much brighter under the shining of the bright lamp he carried.
Some places that were unrealistic before can be clearly seen at this time.
As soon as the exploratory team entered the cave entrance, Ye Tian said through the walkie-talkie:
"Daniel, you wipe all the moss around the hole and look at what is engraved. There may be a lot of words and patterns engraved in those places, so you can avoid slipping!"
"Okay, Steven"
The Israeli exploratory team responded and acted immediately.
He took out a towel, held the cave wall with one hand, wiped it with the other, and quickly wiped off the moss around the entrance of the cave one by one.
With his movements, the black angel statues carved around the entrance of the cave suddenly became much clearer.
As Ye Tian expected, there are indeed many words and patterns carved on the four walls of the cave.
Those words are the ancient Hebrew that was localized by the Beta Israelis that caused everyone's headaches before.
For a while, no one understood the meaning of those words.
The patterns engraved around the entrance of the cave are not difficult to identify!
One of the patterns depicts a magnificent temple standing on the top of the mountain, ancient and solemn, and it seems to be radiating a dazzling light!
The first time he saw this stone mural, Joshua exclaimed.
"Wow! That is Solomon's Temple. It stands on the top of the Temple Mount and emits eternal light!"
Not only Joshua, but almost everyone except Ye Tian, all exclaimed.
Without exception, these guys are excited, one by one full of enthusiasm.
Whether Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, the Temple Mount is a holy place, as is the legendary Temple of Solomon!
Because of this, everyone is so excited.
The only exception at the scene was Ye Tian. As a bystander, he watched everything that happened in front of him.
...
Outside Noah's Ark Church.
Numerous tripartite joint exploration team members, as well as several archaeologists, historians, paleontologists, representatives of various parties, and many security team members are all staring at the church door.
Everyone is very excited and full of expectations.
Everyone is curious about the situation in the church.
Everyone wants to know what happened inside the church, what secrets or treasures are hidden in the cave deep underground!
One or two hours have passed, but no news came out.
Not only that, the guy Steven also asked Mattis to cut off the communication signal in the church to prevent people in the church from leaking secrets.
His action made everyone staying outside the church very sure.
In that cave deep underground, there must be great secrets hidden, and even shocking treasures!
In the process of anxiously waiting, everyone also heatedly discussed it.
"Steven and the others must have made a very important discovery, so they kept it strictly confidential. They just don't know, what exactly did they find?"
"Could it be the legendary Solomon's treasure? If Solomon's treasure was smuggled out of Jerusalem by Menelik I and shipped to Ethiopia, it might be hidden here?"
And outside the Fasilidas Castle Group, those very well-informed media reporters have already discovered something.
Or it should be said that they smelled the headlines with their incomparable sense of smell!
Just as they were eager to see through, the phones of several media reporters suddenly rang, one after another.
Those guys took out their phones one after another and started talking in low voices.
When the call was over, they immediately started discussing with their peers excitedly.
"Guys, according to the news from the resident in Washington, many people in the president's office rushed to the White House before dawn, as if something big happened!
There are also changes in Jerusalem. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office just announced that it will cancel all activities today, and everyone in the Prime Minister’s Office is very excited.
Other places are very calm. At this moment, the only thing that can make Washington and Jerusalem move at the same time seems to be the only joint exploration operation being carried out in the castle complex! "
"I just received news that the Israeli army and the U.S. military at several military bases in the Middle East have all moved, and the actions are not small, there must be something big!"
"Do you still have to ask! Steven must have made a major discovery, perhaps a great discovery that sensationalized the world, such as the discovery of the legendary treasure of Solomon, or even the Ark of the Covenant?"
At the same time as the heated discussion, the eyes of these media reporters looking at the gates of the Fasilidas castle group became even more hot!
At this time, they wished they could fly directly into the sky and look down at the situation in the castle complex from the air to see what secrets and treasures the three-party joint exploration team discovered.
It is a pity that the current Fasilidas castle complex is in a state of forbidden air.
Whether it is a human or a small drone, as long as it flies over the castle complex, it will be shot down instantly.
...
Outside Gondar.
A convoy of more than a dozen pickup trucks galloped from the southeast highway and drove straight to Gondar.
In these dilapidated pickup trucks, there are full of **** men.
These guys are all sturdy, full of flesh, scars can be seen everywhere, everyone has a fierce look, full of greed and madness, and they don't look like good people.
When the motorcade drove about three kilometers outside of Gondar, it suddenly left the road and drove into a forest not far from the road, and disappeared in the depths of the forest in a blink of an eye.
After seven or eight minutes, some of the black people who came by the car walked out of the woods.
Most of the people disappeared, not knowing where they went, and those dilapidated pickup trucks were also gone.
The black people who came out of the woods soon dispersed again.
Some of them walked on the highway, some walked in the fields, some walked along the edge of the woods, and walked forward in twos and threes!
But their goal is exactly the same, that is Gondar not far ahead.
At first glance, they look like ordinary Ethiopians, nothing special!
To be special, it is that these guys are carrying a strong hostility, with a fierce look, and everyone is carrying a bulging backpack!
Not far forward, a guy in the crowd suddenly pointed to the front and said to the companions around him:
"Guys, have you seen the towering tower in front of you? That is the tower of Fasil Gaby Castle~www.wuxiaspot.com~The bedroom of the former Ethiopian emperor, the commanding height of Gondar
It was in that castle that Steven, the lucky bastard, discovered the treasure map hidden by the Italians during World War II. Our goal is that treasure map! "
Following the direction of his fingers, the other guys all looked at the towering tower in the distance.
At this moment, each of them had red eyes, and they were moving faster!
In Noah's Ark Church.
Matisse's voice came from the wireless invisible earphone and clearly reached Ye Tian's ears.
"Steven, the Somali pirates arrived in Gondar, and they were all elites. Those guys were scattered outside Gondar, they were broken into pieces, and they were coming into the city from different directions.
In addition to the wicked guys, there are also many people approaching the Fasilidas castle complex, including some guys from Eritrea and Sudan, as well as militants from the Tien Fen."
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian couldn't help but a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
