Chapter 3080: Emperor's Tomb

In the ruins of the largest obelisk and many fragments of the obelisk, although everyone found a lot of information about the ancient kingdom of Sheba and the Queen of Sheba, they did not find a clue to Solomon's treasure and the ark of the covenant.

Most of the ancient characters and patterns engraved on the fragments of the obelisk and the ruins of the building could not be interpreted.

Maybe the clues about Solomon's treasure and the ark are hidden in those ancient texts, but everyone can't find it.

Of course, there is also such a possibility that Solomon’s treasure is not in Aksum at all.

In addition to some ancient texts and clues about the Queen of Sheba, on one of the obelisk fragments, everyone also found the name of Menelik I.

It is a pity that the text on another fragment of the obelisk associated with it is already blurred and unreadable at all!

There is no way for everyone to know what exactly is recorded behind the name of Menelik I.

Next, everyone continued to study the content engraved on the fragments of the obelisk, and everyone was very engaged.

In a blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

Ye Tian and an archaeologist were studying a fragment of an obelisk, and suddenly an excited voice came from the intercom.

"Steven, I'm Wells, you'd better come and have a look at us. We found a large number of metal objects buried in the ground at a depth of about eight or nine meters. The signal is quite strong."

"The depth of eight or nine meters underground should exceed the detection range of the pulse metal detector! What is going on?"

Ye Tian said in surprise, and turned to look to the west of the square.

Wells and their exploration area is located over there.

Hearing Wells's announcement, everyone else on the scene was very excited, their eyes shining straight.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and walked quickly to the west of the square.

The others immediately followed, and everyone looked forward to it.

The deputy mayor of Axum walked two steps quickly, hurried to Ye Tian's side, and then said in a low voice:

"Mr. Steven, are these metal objects buried deep underground discovered by your employees really the legendary treasures of Solomon?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this one, and said with a smile:

"If it is Solomon's treasure, it would be great, but I think it is unlikely that these metal objects buried deep underground are more likely to be the funeral of an Ethiopian emperor.

Don’t forget, in ancient Ethiopia, this famous obelisk square was where the king’s funeral was held. According to legend, these obelisks were used to mark the king’s tombs! "

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the face of the deputy mayor of Aksum.

The same goes for the other Ethiopians, and they hope to discover other treasures.

They knew that if they found the treasure of Solomon, Tigray and Aksum would not get anything from this famous treasure, they could only get some financial compensation and assistance from the Israelis!

If it is another treasure, half of this treasure will belong to Tigray State.

With yesterday’s experience, they all know that this may mean a huge fortune.

Unlike them, Joshua, the Bishop of Kent and others, of course hope to discover Solomon's treasure.

After a while, everyone continued to come to the area where the Wells exploratory team was located.

This is an ancient building ruin. It used to be a palace or temple, but now it has already collapsed.

There is only a piece of foundation less than one meter high, some steps, a few low walls, and stones of different sizes everywhere.

At this point, Ye Tian first glanced at the scene quickly, and then said:

"Wells, tell me about your discovery, this may be a surprising discovery"

"Okay, Steven"

Wells nodded in response, and then began to introduce the situation.

"Our team is responsible for exploring this area. When we explored the surroundings, we didn't find any surprises. We only scanned a few metal objects that were very shallowly buried and existed in isolation.

Then we came here and when we scanned the foundation about one meter above the ground, nothing was found. When we got down here, the pulse metal detector suddenly rang."

Having said that, Wells pointed to the lowest point in the ruins of this ancient building.

It should be a basement, small in area, but about one meter lower than the ground, with steps connected to the foundation above.

Ye Tian looked at the situation in the basement, and then suddenly said:

"No wonder you can detect the depth of eight or nine meters underground. This should be a basement, which is much lower than the ground, which undoubtedly increases the detection depth of the pulse metal detector!"

Wells nodded, and said with excitement:

"Yes, Steven, it is because of this ancient basement that we detected the metal objects buried at a depth of eight or nine meters, otherwise we would have missed it.

Below this basement, about eight or nine meters deep, there are many metal objects buried, the quantity is unknown, and the distribution area is very concentrated, at least six or seven square meters."

With that said, this guy walked into this ancient basement, took the pulse metal detector and started scanning the ground.

Following his movement, the pulse metal detector immediately rang, and the sound was extremely beautiful.

Ye Tian stepped forward immediately, began to check the detected signals and data, and whispered analysis together with his staff.

In that ancient basement, Wells took the pulse metal detector to scan the ground thoroughly, during which the beeping of the pulse metal detector never stopped.

Seeing this scene, everyone on the scene was very excited.

When Wells finished the scan, Ye Tian fell into deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly picked up the intercom and said:

"Cole, you arrange for two guys to bring the portable deep ground penetrating radar, I want to use that thing!"

"Received, Steven"

Cole responded.

As soon as the voice fell, Joshua, who was standing by, couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't wait to ask:

"Steven, what are the things buried deep in the ground? Is it Solomon's treasure, or some other treasure? Let me tell you about the situation!"

Not only him, others also want to know what is buried here.

Ye Tian looked at these guys, then said loudly:

"Gentlemen, buried deep under the ruins of this ancient building may not be the legendary treasure of Solomon, but the tomb of an ancient emperor in Ethiopia.

Judging from the distribution and placement of these metal objects, they are very similar to burial objects. If this is the case, the size of this king's tomb must be very high.

It is a pity that the building on the ground has completely collapsed, and there is no obelisk here. It is difficult to figure out the identity of the Ethiopian emperor for a while.

Next, I want to use the portable deep ground penetrating radar to detect and see if underground structures such as tombs can be detected to verify the accuracy of my judgment! "

While saying this, Ye Tian also introduced to several archaeologists the meaning of the relevant detection data.

After listening to the introduction, several archaeologists nodded.

"I also think this is a tomb of an Ethiopian emperor, not a treasure. The metal objects detected are probably funerary objects. The way they are placed is enough to illustrate this point."

An archaeologist from Harvard University said it was the same as the analysis given by Ye Tian.

Hearing this, Joshua and the others couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment.

Unlike them, all the Ethiopians at the scene were overjoyed and almost cheered.

"Mr. Steven, if this is really the tomb of a certain emperor in ancient Ethiopia, not a treasure, according to the relevant agreement we reached before, you can't dig at will!"

Said the deputy mayor of Axum.

Ye Tian looked at this guy, then nodded.

"Yes, if it is proved that this is indeed a king's tomb, we will not excavate, but will hand over the relevant detection data to you. As for whether you do excavation, it has nothing to do with us!"

Hearing this, the Ethiopians at the scene suddenly smiled even more happily.

For them, this is definitely an unexpected surprise, and it may bring a huge fortune.

As for whether they will excavate this king's tomb, do you have to ask?

When the tripartite joint exploratory team leaves, they will immediately start an excavation operation and lift up all the things buried in this emperor's tomb!

As long as their movements are a little slower, it's time for the farmers around the Obelisk Square and the many guys who are staring at the three-way joint team!

While talking, the portable deep ground penetrating radar was sent over.

Later, Ye Tian directed his staff to take out the ground penetrating radar and start surveying.

The survey results were quickly released, exactly the same as his previous analysis.

These metal objects buried deep in the ground are the burial of a certain emperor in ancient Ethiopia, and they are neatly placed in the tomb of the emperor.

The tomb of the Ethiopian emperor is very well preserved, and the tomb, tomb passage, and burial pit, etc., have not suffered any damage.

Using the data and signals detected by the deep ground penetrating radar, the structure of this emperor’s tomb can even be drawn.

With such a result, some people are happy and some are disappointed!

As for who the ancient emperor of Ethiopia is sleeping deep underground, the value of the funeral objects around him has nothing to do with the tripartite joint exploration team!

Next, Ye Tian checked the situation of the ruins of this ancient building.

Confirming that there was no new discovery, he left here and returned to the area he was exploring before.

Wells and the others used a portable deep ground penetrating radar to quickly investigate the situation deep underground in the ruins, and then handed the relevant data to the deputy mayor of Axum.

The deputy mayor of Axum, who received the exploration data, had his eyes shining brightly with excitement.

It is completely conceivable that the good days of the ancient emperor of Ethiopia who have slept deep underground for a year or two are coming to an end soon.

In a few days, his descendants will bring a large number of workers to plan his tomb in the name of archaeological research.

...

The exploration continues, but there are no major surprises.

Following the Wells team, several exploratory teams have successively detected some metal objects buried in the ground at different depths, in greater or lesser quantities.

After Ye Tian's inspection and discussion and analysis with several archaeologists, they ruled out the possibility that those metal objects were treasures, not to mention Solomon's treasures.

Some of the metal objects gathered together are funeral objects of kings or nobles.

It's just that the number of these funerary objects is small, which is incomparable with the tomb of the ancient Ethiopian emperor discovered before, and has no excavation value!

Of course, this is only Ye Tian's opinion.

What the Ethiopians think is unknown!

Soon, the time has come to around one noon.

The tripartite joint exploration team did not return to the hotel for lunch, but chose to rest on the spot in the Obelisk Square and have lunch here.

The so-called lunch is just some burgers and other foods, not delicious, but there is no problem with the stomach, and it can provide everyone with the necessary energy.

After eating lunch, everyone took a rest for about half an hour, and then they acted again and continued to explore.

After some exploration in the morning, the above ground of the Obelisk Square has basically been explored.

Next, it is time to explore the buildings below the ground of the square, such as those winding tunnels, and even the tombs of the kings that have long been dug out.

These underground buildings have a very long history. Although they are relatively well-preserved, they have great safety risks.

Before embarking on the exploratory operation, Ye Tian gathered all his employees and security personnel together and said to them:

"Guys, in the afternoon we are going to explore the underground buildings in Obelisk Square. Here I want to emphasize that you must be 100% safe before you can enter those underground buildings.

Before everyone enters the underground buildings and starts exploration operations, security personnel will use small drones or robots to go in and make a survey first, and take pictures of the internal conditions of those underground buildings.

Let’s first analyze the video data captured by drones and robots, make sure it’s safe, and then enter the exploration. If you can’t be sure whether it’s safe, please notify me immediately. You must not act rashly.

As before, everyone should pay attention to protecting these ancient underground buildings and don't destroy them at will. If you find something, notify me as soon as possible, and I will take someone over to check it out! "

"Understood, Steven, we know what to do"

Everyone responded in unison, everyone was full of confidence.

Next, everyone took the pulse metal detector and other exploration equipment and walked to the entrances of different underground buildings in the square.

Ye Tian led the people to the largest obelisk ruins again, ready to explore here.

Under the ruins of this obelisk, the ruins of two ancient buildings are hidden, and there is a winding tunnel, which is their goal of exploration in the afternoon.

In fact, Ye Tian already knew the conditions of the two ancient architectural sites and tunnels.

But to make a full set of acting, the performance that should be is still essential, so that it is not realistic.

Coming here again, Ye Tian and the others went straight to the entrance of an ancient building site.

However, they did not enter it immediately to explore, but stopped.

Ye Tian first checked the situation, and then said to the exploration team following his actions:

"Nick, you use a small drone to enter the tunnel, check the situation in the tunnel, take a picture of the situation inside the tunnel, and analyze it later.

Let’s explore these two ancient architectural sites first to see if we can find anything. Most of these two sites are exposed, so we don’t have to worry about safety issues."

"Understood, Steven, leave it to us"

Nick nodded in response.

Afterwards, they took out a small drone and let it fly out.

In a blink of an eye, the small drone flew into the tunnel entrance and flew straight to the depths of the tunnel.

Ye Tian took two archaeologists into a ruined ancient building and began to explore.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Next to a low wall made of granite, Ye Tian is studying an ancient pattern with an archaeologist.

The reason why they are interested in this pattern is that the pattern carved on the stone seems to be somewhat of Jewish culture.

At this moment, Seaman's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, at the foot of the other side of the hill on the north side of the Obelisk Square, a few unidentified guys, carrying hiking bags and sturdy figures, are climbing to the top of the mountain.

The exact person and purpose of these guys are not known for the time being. I think it is necessary to remind you, pay attention to safety, we will keep an eye on these guys! "

Upon hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Sieman, no matter who the other party is, even if it is a media reporter, they can't be allowed to climb the hill to the north of the Obelisk Square at this time. That would be too dangerous!

This hill is the commanding height of this area. Standing on the top of this hill, all the actions of the three-party joint exploration team can be seen in full view, and the other party can attack at any time.

Get rid of those guys directly, don't show up, let the Tigray State Military Police come forward and see how those guys react. If those guys open fire, then kill them! "

"Received, Steven, we will take care of these things, don't worry!"

Seaman responded and ended the call.

Next, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and told Cole.

Let them be more vigilant, watch the movement on the mountain, and protect the safety of the members of the joint exploration team and many experts and scholars.

Immediately afterwards, two small drones soared into the air and flew towards the top of the hill on the north side of the Obelisk Square.

The other side of the hill.

Five or six guys carrying hiking bags have climbed up the hill for thirty or forty meters.

"Guys, as long as we climb to the top of the mountain, we can see all the actions of the three-party joint exploration team. What Steven and his **** have discovered~www.wuxiaspot.com~We will know the first time!"

A beard-faced guy said loudly, his words and eyes were full of greed.

Before the voice fell, a sharp police siren suddenly came from behind.

These guys immediately turned their heads and looked back, everyone was surprised.

In the next moment, they saw that several police cars were galloping from a distance, bringing up dust in the sky.

"Fack! We must have been discovered by the **** Steven, what a hell!"

The bearded guy cursed while biting his molars.

"It seems that we can only withdraw. We must not fall into the hands of the guys in the people's formation, let alone the **** Steven's hands!"

The other guy continued.

Afterwards, these guys turned around and ran to the foot of the mountain in a hurry, and their car was hidden in a wood at the foot of the mountain!
