Chapter 3105: Shocking discovery
Latest website: Everyone is not obsessed with studying the ancient Hebrew and stone murals that have just been discovered, but handed over this task to other archaeologists and palaeographers in the exploratory team.
After roughly exploring the inside of the cave entrance, everyone is ready to explore the depths of the cave.
Same as before, Ye Tian first checked the situation ahead.
After confirming that there were no traps and no other fatal dangers, everyone began to act.
Later, Ye Tian took the lead with two of his men and walked out cautiously to the depths of the cave.
During the operation, he will carefully check every inch of the ground and surrounding cave walls in front of him, as well as the cave ceiling above, to see if there are deadly traps or other dangers in these places.
The two men followed closely, holding the pulse metal detector and constantly scanning the ground and the cave wall to see if there were any hidden metal objects.
In addition, they have another task.
That is to arrange wires and lighting fixtures.
The others followed, step by step deep into the cave.
Fortunately, there are no traps here. Apart from the poisonous environment, there seems to be no other danger.
In fact, there is no need to set up any traps in a Jedi like this.
Without understanding the internal environment of the cave and without complete protection measures, anyone who enters this long-closed cave will be instantly recruited!
Even more frightening is that this is a silent attack.
When the attacked discovers that the situation is not right, everything is too late!
That is why the tripartite joint exploration team led by Ye Tian is not leaking, so this kind of damage can be avoided!
Change to any other exploratory team, I am afraid they have already been recruited!
Not too far forward, everyone began to descend, along the winding caves, and gradually into the depths of the mountain.
Wherever this small joint exploratory team went, the darkness was immediately dissipated, and the situation inside the cave was immediately presented in front of everyone and on the live screen.
In the following exploration process, everyone successively discovered some ancient Hebrew characters and stone murals carved on the cave wall, as well as some stone sculptures.
Like the previous treatment, Ye Tian and the others did not thoroughly study these ancient texts, murals, and sculptures.
Instead, they photographed them all and sent them back to the top and bottom of the cliff for the rest of the archaeologists and palaeontologists to study.
The difference is that these ancient texts, murals, and statues discovered later were all technically processed during the live broadcast, and the pictures were blurred.
This is for confidentiality considerations and to protect the interests of the tripartite joint exploration team, especially the interests of the experts and scholars in the team.
Undoubtedly, this series of discoveries will bring many heavyweight academic research results, which naturally cannot be made public at will.
Faced with this situation, those experts and scholars who are watching this live treasure hunt are bitterly itchy, but helpless!
Ten minutes passed before talking.
Ye Tian and the others have gone 15 or 6 meters deep into the cave, and they have also fallen 3 or 4 meters.
Turning his head and looking back at this time, he could no longer see the cave on the cliff, only a section of winding cave.
This is a new cave, much more regular than the places I have traveled before.
Both the ground and the surrounding cave walls have been artificially leveled.
At this point, Ye Tian quickly checked the situation.
After confirming that there are no traps, cracks, and branch caves, he nodded and signaled the people behind him to start exploring.
Seeing him nodding, Owen and the others moved immediately.
In a moment, everyone has discovered something.
"Steven, look at this stone mural, the content should be from the "Old Testament" story, but the carving style is a bit of African culture, which is very interesting."
Owen said excitedly.
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately walked over and looked at the stone mural carved on the cave wall.
As Owen said, the content of that stone mural indeed originated from the Old Testament.
This is a very famous religious story. Joshua led the Israelites to the Promised Land.
And beside this mural, there are also some variants of ancient Hebrew inscribed.
Due to the age too old, these ancient texts and patterns are a little fuzzy, but fortunately most of them are still recognizable.
If it is discovered hundreds of years later, it may be completely unrecognizable.
After checking the texts and murals on this side, the Israeli archaeologist also discovered a group of ancient texts and stone murals on the opposite cave wall.
And the content of those stone murals is also derived from the story of the "Old Testament", but it has a touch of African culture.
As before, Ye Tian and the others photographed all these ancient writings and murals, and then sent them to the top and bottom of the cliff, and gave them to other archaeologists and philologists to study.
Next, everyone found some words and murals carved on the wall of the cave.
Those variants of ancient Hebrew are temporarily unrecognizable and difficult to translate immediately.
But the stone murals, apart from being a bit vague, are not difficult to identify.
Some of the murals are derived from the stories of the Old Testament, while others reflect the daily life, hunting, farming, and sacrifices of the Beta Israelis.
In addition, there are some stone sculptures.
Most of these stone sculptures are rough and not even artistic, but they are old enough to be worthy of careful study.
For Israelis, especially Beta Israelis, it's a different matter.
This is their history and civilization, and everything is invaluable.
Along the way, the joint exploratory team found many ancient texts, patterns, and sculptures, but did not find clues related to Solomon’s treasures and the ark of the covenant.
There may be clues hidden in those ancient Hebrew texts that are difficult to understand.
It is a pity that everyone does not have time to interpret and decipher those words, so they can only continue to explore.
Then he walked a distance further, and after turning a turn, everyone saw the two ancient warrior statues holding spears and shields.
Seeing these two statues, everyone was excited.
The same goes for countless viewers on the live broadcast, with their eyes shining.
Next, Ye Tian took the lead to check the situation.
Make sure that there are no traps, so that other people can follow up and study and admire these two ancient statues together.
When they came to the front, everyone observed the two statues in their entirety, and then took out the towels and gently wiped the dust off the statues.
Soon, the dust on the two statues was wiped clean, and their shapes and outlines suddenly became much clearer.
Like everyone's previous judgments, these are two ancient Israeli warrior statues, but they have a certain African cultural touch.
They are all carved from marble, not the original rock in the cave.
In other words, the two statues were transported into this cave from the outside and placed here.
In other words, the stone was brought in from the outside and carved on the spot here.
But considering the environment in the cave, this possibility does not seem to be high.
Ye Tian went up to check the two marble statues carefully, and after a while, he said:
"According to my judgment, the two ancient Israeli warrior statues should have been carved around 100 BC, and then they were transported into this hidden cave and placed here.
Around 100 BC, the group of Israelis who followed Menelik I to Ethiopia has taken root here and gradually merged with the locals.
Because of this, on the two ancient Israeli warrior statues, we can see both the main body of Jewish culture and the more obvious African cultural colors."
"Yes, Steven, we can see a lot of things on these two ancient Israeli warrior statues, they are so precious!"
The Israeli archaeologist said excitedly.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and continued:
"Yes, these are two very precious antique relics, which have high historical and cultural research value. By studying them, we can get a glimpse of the formation of Beta Israelis.
More importantly, the discovery of these two statues suffices to show that this cave was discovered by Beta Israelis and used to hide secrets as early as about 100 BC! "
Everyone nodded and expressed their approval.
And on the cliff top and the campsite opposite the canyon, cheers once again sounded.
Especially many Beta Israelis are even more excited.
Next, Ye Tian and the others admired the two marble statues for a while, and then continued to explore.
The next section of the cave guarded by these two ancient Israeli warrior statues is flatter than the previous cave, which is obviously man-made.
On both sides of the cave, we found some ancient writings and stone murals, as well as two rusty bronze candlesticks.
Unlike the stone murals found before, the stone murals here are clearly distinguished.
The murals carved on the wall of the cave on the left are all derived from "Old Testament" stories. It can even be said that this is a collection of "Old Testament" stories, which is quite shocking.
The mural carved on the wall of the cave on the right is a scene where Beta Israelis took root and thrived in Ethiopia. It is the first-hand data for the study of Beta Israelis.
As for those difficult variants of ancient Hebrew, they still cannot be interpreted in time.
The discovery of this series of ancient murals and text directly detonated all live broadcasts.
Especially those archaeologists and historians, one by one was surprised.
"Oh my God! This is simply a stone-cut "Old Testament", a history of the development of Beta Israelis, it's so spectacular!"
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a great archaeological discovery that sensationalizes the world, and it will definitely go down in the annals of history!"
In the cave, the exploration continues.
Ye Tian and the others passed through an arc, and in a blink of an eye they came to the stone gate they had discovered before.
Everyone paused when they saw this stone gate.
At this moment, Ye Tian, who was walking in the front, suddenly made a stop gesture.
Seeing his gesture, the others couldn't stop immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian began to look at the ground in front of him, as well as the walls and ceiling of the cave on both sides.
The two exploratory team members holding the pulse metal detector used the probe to scan the ground and the cave wall.
Like the places I have traveled before, there are no artificial traps, and there are no natural traps such as cracks.
Make sure it's safe, everyone just came to Shimen.
Ye Tian checked the situation again, and then said:
"Gentlemen, you can wipe off the dust on this stone gate and the walls on both sides of the cave, but you must be careful. If you find anything wrong, stop immediately."
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do"
Owen nodded in response, and the others nodded.
Afterwards, everyone took action.
In a moment, Owen and the others had wiped away a large amount of dust on both sides of the cave walls.
Suddenly, a few of them stopped at the same place and froze in place.
Except for Ye Tian, everyone else was the same, all dumbfounded.
The people who were watching this live treasure hunt basically had the same performance, and they were all completely stunned by the live broadcast images in front of them.
Appearing on the live broadcast are two sets of ancient stone murals.
The content carved on the wall on the left side of Shimen still originated from the story of the "Old Testament".
This story is not trivial. What it sculpts is the picture of Moses ascending Mount Sinai and receiving the Ten Commandments from God at the top of the mountain.
Moses, who was on the top of Mount Sinai, was kneeling on the ground, looking up at the sky, and stretched his left hand to the sky, but he was holding a few slabs in his right hand.
The sky above him was radiating bright golden light, and a stone slab full of words protruded from the clouds, and it was about to fall into Moses' hands.
Who passed these slabs to Moses is not explained in the mural.
However, everyone knows the answer.
Next to this mural of "Moses Accepted the Ten Commandments", there is another mural, which is "Burning Thorns".
That was the story of Moses' first contact with God and acceptance of divine enlightenment.
Moses in the fresco also knelt on the ground, raising his hands to block him, as if avoiding the burning fire.
Not far in front is a bush of thorns burning, but it is shining with holy light!
On the opposite cave wall, there is also a set of murals.
In the center of the largest mural, there is a tall and magnificent temple.
However, there was chaos inside and outside the temple, and there was burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Just when others burned, killed and looted, someone with a group of men sneaked into the temple, taking advantage of the chaos, and stole the things stored in the temple.
Two of the guys in long robes carried a box-like object.
More importantly, the box is still radiating bright light.
Among these two sets of murals, "Moses Accepts the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Thorns" are actually not uncommon.
People have seen countless murals and oil paintings of the same subject, as well as other works of art.
But putting these two murals in this cave is another matter.
The group of murals on the wall of the cave on the right has never been seen before.
People have only heard of historical stories related to it, but not many people believe it.
Many people think that it is nothing but a mythical legend, which is nothing more than an error!
People never thought that one day they would see such a group of stone murals.
However, the legend that everyone originally thought was illusory may become a reality at this moment.
Such two sets of murals are in such an environment, and the shocking effect they cause can be imagined.
Owen and the others were all stunned, petrified.
The Israeli archaeologists and palaeontologists standing in front of the cave wall on the right were even more in a state of almost madness, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Except for Ye Tian, the performance of everyone else was similar.
Of course, in order to make the performance more realistic, Ye Tian also had a shocking expression.
The scene fell silent, leaving only a heavy and rapid breathing.
At the top and bottom of the cliff, the camping site on the opposite side of the road, the entire Axum, and even the countless live broadcasts, everything was quiet!
It took a long time for someone to break the silence.
"God! What did I see? This is "Moses Accepts the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Thorns." Is the ark really hidden in this cave?"
Owen murmured to himself.
Following his words, all places were instantly detonated.
All the members of the tripartite joint exploration team, the Israeli prime minister and the pope who are staying in the camp across the canyon, and the countless people who are watching the live broadcast.
Everyone was shocked, whether sitting or standing, they all jumped up.
Everyone was excited, and bursts of almost crazy exclamation sounded in front of countless live broadcasts in an instant.
"God! The box carried by the two people on the mural is definitely the ark of the covenant. There is no doubt that the treasure of Solomon and the ark of the covenant are in this cave!
It seems that the ark of the covenant that has disappeared for nearly three thousand years is about to reappear in the world. This is definitely the greatest archaeological discovery in the history of the Western world! "
"On one side is "Moses Accepted the Ten Commandments", and on the other side is the picture of Menelik I stole the Ark from Solomon's Temple. This is enough to explain any problem!
I am going to Axum now to witness the reappearance of the Ark to the world. This is the only opportunity I have waited for three thousand years. If I miss it, I will regret it for a lifetime! "
While exclaiming, many people have already acted.
These guys rushed out of the house one after another, and immediately embarked on the journey to Axum.
For them, watching live TV is no longer enough.
They all want to come to the scene and witness the great moment when the Ark of the Covenant reappears on earth!
In the camps of the tripartite joint exploration team, in the Vatican and Jerusalem, many clergy, including the Pope, have prayed devoutly.
The Israeli archaeologist and paleographer standing on the right side of the cave wall even knelt down, tears in his eyes already with excitement.
At this moment, Ye Tianqinglang's voice suddenly came out again.
"Gentlemen, I believe everyone has seen these two sets of stone murals. To be honest, the content of these two sets of murals is really shocking. I still can't believe it."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Everyone who watched this live treasure hunt has a dreamlike feeling at this time.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The group of murals on the wall of the cave on the left, "Moses Accepts the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Thorns", must be very familiar to everyone, but they appear here, but their significance is extraordinary.
Let's look at the group of murals on the wall of the cave on the right. Judging from the content of the murals, this should be the scene of the outbreak of civil strife in the United Kingdom of Israel after King Solomon's death.
Menelik I took advantage of this civil strife and led people to smuggle the Ark of the Covenant and part of the treasure from Solomon's Temple, out of Jerusalem, and then to Ethiopia.
The content of this part of the mural is basically consistent with the related legends we know. This is enough to show that the legend that Menelik I stole the ark is basically a fact."
Everyone nodded again, UU reading www.uukanshu. com did not raise any objections.
In the past, everyone might doubt this legend. At this time, when you see this mural, there is still the slightest doubt.
"It now appears that the part of Solomon's treasure stolen by Menelik I may indeed be hidden in the belly of the mountain connected to this cave, and the Ark of the Covenant may also be there.
Of course, the Ark of the Covenant may also be in the Church of St. Mary on Mount Zion in Aksum. After all, Ethiopians have always thought so for the past two thousand years! "
As Ye Tian's voice fell, the scene fell silent again.
The same is true for many live broadcasts.
Although this conclusion had long been expected, people were still shocked when they heard Ye Tian's analysis and explanation.
As for the ark of the covenant that has been stored in the Church of St. Mary on Mount Zion in Aksum, it is estimated that even the Ethiopians themselves may not believe it at this time.
