Chapter 3083: All people looking for light

That night, the words carved on the back of the piece of granite were leaked by the Ethiopians.

Next, this sentence was like a hurricane, which quickly swept the entire Aksum, Ethiopia, and even the entire Western world.

As this sentence spread, everyone began to wonder with excitement, what exactly is meant by ‘despair and God’s light’ in this sentence?

Some people interpret it literally, thinking that it is a desperate situation in life and the hope that God brings.

But more people have extended it, and there are all kinds of explanations.

Think of the tripartite joint exploration team being in Axum and exploring the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant. This sentence was discovered by Ye Tian, ​​and people inevitably associate it.

Does the despair mentioned here point to a place where Solomon’s treasure is hidden?

And does the light of God allude to the ark?

There are countless people like this!

What followed was countless eyes of attention.

Many people even set off immediately and came to Aksum like a pilgrimage, trying to find the legendary Solomon treasure and the ark of the covenant based on this obscure clue!

Many locals in Aksum move faster.

They left their homes one after another to explore places around them that might be considered desperate.

Among these people, there are no shortage of people sent by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as well as people sent by the Tigray State Government and the Tiren Front!

Needless to say, their purpose is to find Solomon's treasure and the ark before the three-party joint exploration team.

In that case, they don't have to worry about the collapse of their faith, and they can make a fortune!

At the same time, at the entrance of the hotel and surrounding streets where the tripartite joint exploratory team was located, there were not many Orthodox believers and monks again.

Fortunately, these guys are more law-abiding, just sitting in or protesting and demonstrating, and there is no excessive behavior.

For this situation, Ye Tian had expected it a long time ago, and didn't care too much.

After returning to the hotel and washing up, he started a video call with Matisse.

"Matis, how is the situation on Lake Tana? Is anyone coming to harass the Joint Exploration Fleet again? Trying to interrupt your cleanup and salvage of the sunken treasure?"

In the video screen, Matisse shook his head slightly, and then began to introduce the situation.

"The operation to clean up and salvage this sunken treasure went smoothly, and everyone was in very good condition. There were no problems. In about four days, we will be able to complete the salvage operation.

After we shot down the small seaplane before, no one dared to fly the small seaplane over the operating waters anymore, including Cook and the guys under him, all hiding far away.

The situation on the lake is the same. Someone tried to dive over and looted this sunken treasure at the bottom of the lake. After several divers were killed by the Nile crocodile, no one dared to dive deep.

However, the number of people coveting this shipwreck treasure is increasing. These guys are hiding in the distance, staring at this waters. They are obviously waiting for us to take the treasure to land on the land! "

"This is an expected thing. After you have cleaned up this sunken treasure, and then see the weather, I will arrange for people and ships to guide you out of the water quietly!"

Ye Tian said in a deep voice.

Next, he checked the video about salvaging the sunken treasure.

These videos include not only the process of divers salvaging the shipwreck treasure, but also the many gold and silver treasures from that shipwreck treasure, as well as antique cultural relics and works of art.

After checking the video information and confirming that there was no problem, he ended the call.

Soon, the time has come to around 10 o'clock in the evening.

Ye Tian and David were chatting in the living room. Joshua and Bishop of Kent, as well as several archaeologists and palaeographers, came to visit and walked into this luxurious suite.

After sitting down in the living room, Joshua immediately said with excitement:

"Steven, the ancient Hebrew variants carved on that piece of granite, as well as the patterns and stories from the Old Testament, we have basically deciphered them.

Some of the content described in those texts is related to the Queen of Sheba and Menelik I, and is closely related to the Jews who migrated to Ethiopia."

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It seems that the legends about the Queen of Sheba and Menelik I are not groundless. For us, this is obviously good news!"

"Yes, Steven"

Joshua nodded and continued:

"Before today, the Queen of Sheba was more of a legendary character, illusory, and after today, we can be sure that the Queen of Sheba does exist.

Menelik I took part of the Israelites and part of the treasure of Solomon and fled to Ethiopia. This incident is basically certain, and it does exist!

Some of these texts mentioned that Menelik I once came to Ethiopia with a large number of gold and silver treasures and hid those treasures.

From this we infer that the words carved on the back of that piece of granite may be a clue to the location of Solomon’s treasure, and God’s light probably refers to the ark of the covenant! "

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then asked:

"Then have you found more valuable clues? For example, what does the desperate situation in life mean? Is there a corresponding location?"

"It's a pity that there is no text in it that points to a certain place"

Joshua shook his head lightly, eyes full of regret.

Next, an Israeli archaeologist and paleographer came forward to introduce to Ye Tian the specific meaning of the variants of ancient Hebrew found this afternoon.

After understanding the meaning of those words, Ye Tian discussed with them again, trying to find out the secrets hidden behind those ancient words.

Unfortunately, they did not find any surprises.

Compared with them, the Tigray people, who were also studying those ancient words and patterns, found that they were even more pitiful.

The Tigray people gathered all the archaeologists and paleographers they could find to try to interpret the obscure variants of ancient Hebrew text and patterns.

As a result, after a few hours, they only determined a little.

The many patterns and words carved on that piece of granite are basically from the "Old Testament", telling stories from the "Old Testament".

The exact meaning of those ancient words, they still couldn't interpret it.

This makes the Tigray people very annoyed, but helpless!

...

In a blink of an eye, it's another day.

After getting up early in the morning, Ye Tian found that the number of media reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel more than doubled yesterday.

Obviously, these extra media reporters came to Axum overnight last night.

What attracted them to come here was the amazing discovery yesterday!

These guys have extremely sensitive sense of smell, and they can always smell the heavyweight headlines in the first place.

Overnight, the sentence engraved on the back of that piece of granite seemed to have become the focus of everyone's discussion.

In addition to media reporters, there are more and more Orthodox believers and monks gathered near the hotel, and there is a tendency to return to the situation that everyone encountered when they first came to Axum!

Ye Tian had already thought of the situation at the entrance of the hotel yesterday.

He didn't take this seriously, but told Cole to be more vigilant and strengthen security.

Particular attention should be paid to those who are fanatical Orthodox monks and believers.

In addition, Derek and others, who had previously escorted the treasure to Tel Aviv, returned to the hotel this morning after two transfers.

When it was eight o'clock in the morning, the deputy mayor of Aksum and others hurried to the hotel.

Following them, there are also several high-level figures in the religious world who have never appeared before.

After entering the hotel, they immediately requested a meeting with Ye Tian, ​​the Bishop of Kent and others, claiming that they had something to discuss.

Ye Tian did not refuse, but asked his security staff to take them to his suite.

After meeting each other, it was naturally a polite greeting.

Immediately afterwards, the Tigray people entered the subject.

"Steven, if possible, I hope you can share the relevant research results of the granite found yesterday. We are very interested in the content recorded on that granite.

Since those ancient Hebrew texts are very difficult to understand, we have looked for someone to study it all night, but there has been no progress. If you have found the results, can you tell us about the situation? "

The deputy mayor of Axum said, with anticipation in his words.

The same goes for other Ethiopians, especially those high-ranking figures in the religious world, whose eyes are very hot.

Ye Tian shook his head and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, regarding the ancient characters and patterns carved on the piece of granite found yesterday, the relevant research work was not done by us, but by Israel.

If you want to understand the meaning of those words and patterns, it is best to communicate with the Israeli side. "

As he said, he raised his hand and gestured to Joshua who was sitting aside.

Following his actions, these Ethiopians all looked at Joshua.

Immediately afterwards, a religious leader with a long beard said in a deep voice:

"We really want to know what the'light of God' carved on that piece of granite specifically refers to? Is there a deeper meaning behind it?"

Joshua did not respond immediately, but fell into thinking.

Afterwards, he discussed a few words in a low voice with the Bishop of Kent and a senior Israeli official before he nodded and said:

"Gentlemen and priests, we found the words and patterns on that piece of granite yesterday, and the research results related to them, we can take them out and share them with you.

But we also have the conditions. First, you must strictly keep confidential and don't divulge these important information. Second, we want to buy that piece of granite! ..."

Upon hearing this, the Ethiopians immediately exploded.

"There is no problem with strict confidentiality, but you want to buy that piece of granite, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, that piece of granite is of extraordinary significance, and there may be major secrets hidden behind it. We will never make a move!"

At this point, the situation suddenly froze.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian could only smile helplessly.

...

It's half past nine in the morning.

The tripartite joint exploratory team left the hotel, ready to start today's exploratory operation.

Ye Tian and the others just came out of the hotel, and the many media reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel were like chicken blood, and they started to ask questions loudly.

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from the Washington Post, can you explain it to you? What do you mean by the despair of life in the words carved on that piece of granite yesterday? What does the light of God mean?"

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from The Times. Someone said that the ‘Despair of Life’ points to the place where Solomon’s treasure was buried. God’s light refers to the Ark of the Covenant? Isn’t that true?"

Ye Tian did not respond to the questions raised by these media reporters, as did Joshua and the Bishop of Kent.

They just waved at these media reporters, and then boarded their vehicles.

Soon, the joint exploration convoy started suddenly and drove away from the hotel entrance.

Seeing the tripartite joint exploratory team leave, the media reporters immediately carried their cameras and video cameras and rushed to their respective media interview vehicles to prepare for follow-up reports.

While talking, the joint exploration convoy has drove into a street near the hotel.

As soon as they entered this street, everyone realized that something was wrong.

On both sides of this street, Ethiopian Orthodox monks and believers in long robes were already standing, and everyone seemed to be extremely excited.

The Tigray State Military Police, who is in charge of maintaining order, has pulled human chains on both sides of the street, trying to stop the agitated Orthodox monks and believers from rushing to the middle of the street.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Sieman, Cole, let all the guys be vigilant and be prepared to respond. They must protect the members of the joint exploration team and those experts and scholars, and pass through these streets as soon as possible. There will be changes!

One more thing, immediately contact the head of the military and police in Tigray State, as well as relevant religious figures to let them control the situation and avoid conflicts as much as possible. That would be detrimental to all parties."

While saying this, his right hand is already resting on the g36c short assault rifle at his feet, ready to shoot at any time!

In addition, he quickly looked through the residential buildings on both sides of the street.

Fortunately, there were no gunmen in ambush in those buildings, so it was safe.

"Understood, Steven, we will contact all parties and remind everyone to be vigilant to ensure the safety of the tripartite joint exploratory team."

Seaman responded, and Cole also responded.

As they started their operations, the Tigray State Military Police outside quickly received orders and immediately increased their resistance.

When the joint exploration convoy drove to the middle section of the street, several young believers tried to break through the cordon and rushed towards the convoy, but they were pushed directly to the ground by the soldiers from the Tien Front who had rushed for reinforcements.

The joint exploration convoy continued to move forward and drove out of this street without any risk.

Although there are many local people watching the excitement on the next street, there are not so many people and the emotions are not so excited.

After driving through several streets in succession, the pressure on the joint exploration team really came down.

Afterwards, the convoy galloped out of Axum city and soon left the city.

Twenty minutes later, the joint exploration team came under a mountain to the west of Aksum.

On this steep mountain, there is an old castle that has been abandoned for a long time, which is exactly the goal of the tripartite joint exploration team today.

Ye Tian and the others, who were sitting in the car, were completely dumbfounded.

Looking out from the car, the mountain was already crowded with people, and it was black and black, and there were hundreds, to say nothing, spreading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Needless to say, these people are all here to find desperation, to find the light of God!

Seeing this scene, everyone was a little bit dumbfounded, but helpless.

The arrival of the tripartite joint exploratory team has aroused one after another cheers on the mountain.

Everyone thinks that they have found the right target and have seen hope!

"God! This is like a national movement, everyone is looking for Solomon's treasure!"

David said with emotion.

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded helplessly.

"Who said no! But how can it be so simple to explore treasures?"
