Chapter 3166 The Secret of the Senate

Ruins of the ancient city of Shera.

Ye Tian and Professor Paul were squatting in front of a low stone wall, checking some ancient characters and patterns engraved on it.

Several high-ranking Moroccan officials headed by Ye Haiya stood a little further away, staring at Ye Tian and their every move, and everyone was full of anticipation.

The media reporters who followed, as well as many people watching the excitement, were stopped by the security personnel farther away and looked here curiously.

Fearless Discovery and others at Columbia University either visited or explored nearby, or went to the Merinid Royal Cemetery and went there to visit.

Before that, Ye Tian and the others had already checked other parts of the ancient city of Shela.

Those places are all pieces of debris, except for some ancient texts and patterns, and there are no surprising discoveries.

As for those ancient texts and patterns, they have been studied many times by Morocco and countless archaeologists from all over the world, and there is no secret at all.

When it was Ye Tian's turn, they naturally wouldn't have any new discoveries.

What they are now in is a new exploration area.

This area is the base of a historic building, and it is not small in size, but only the floor and granite steps, seven or eight stone piers, and a few sections of low stone walls that are badly damaged.

On one of the stone walls, some ancient characters and patterns are engraved, describing a long-gone ancient history.

"Steven, these ancient Greek texts describe the process of building this historic building, to the effect that this palace was built in AD 120 as a place for the senators to discuss their affairs.

It can be seen that this is the Senate of the ancient Roman Empire, of course, this is not the same as the Senate of Rome, or it can be called the ancient city branch of the Roman Senate of Shera”

Professor Paul introduced the meaning of the words and patterns on the stone walls.

He is not only an expert in ancient Arabic, but also proficient in ancient Latin and ancient Greek, as well as other ancient languages ​​popular around the Mediterranean.

Because of this, Ye Tiancai would choose to cooperate with him and pull him into the tripartite joint exploration team.

In this way, if you find something engraved with ancient texts and patterns, such as antique artifacts and artworks, or building wrecks, you can translate and decipher them on the spot during the process of exploring Atlantis.

In addition, the existence of these top archaeologists and paleographers can also cover the fact that Ye Tian has supernatural powers, making some discoveries reasonable and not attracting suspicion.

After listening to Professor Paul's introduction, Ye Tian first nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to a beamed stick sign engraved on this section of the stone wall.

"It can be seen from this Roman beam stick sign that this is a historical building built in ancient Rome, and from this alone it can be determined that the history of the ancient city of Shera is at least two thousand years old.

It is a pity that the remains of the stone pillars that we saw before are so damaged that the text and patterns on them are indistinguishable and cannot be accurately translated.

If it can be proved that those words and patterns were left by the Phoenicians, then the history of the ancient city of Shera can be pushed back a few hundred years, and even pushed back to about 1000 BC,…”

While saying these words, Ye Tian's eyes penetrated the ground and looked into the depths of the ground.

His sight penetrated the ground and quickly extended downwards.

The situation deep underground also appeared in his eyes, and the picture was extremely clear.

The first thing that appeared was a piece of granite, big or small, so densely packed that there was hardly much dirt to be seen.

Don't ask, this is the foundation of the ancient Roman Senate, and it is very solid.

Near the ground, these granite blocks are arranged fairly neatly, and the gaps between them are not very large.

When the depth exceeds one meter, the granite blocks are twisted, and the gaps between each other become larger and larger, forming some large or small cavities.

This should have been caused by the Lisbon earthquake, which did not react on the ground, but caused huge damage deep underground.

The reason why the ancient Roman Senate on the ground completely collapsed was because of this huge destructive force.

The line of sight extends further down, and in the depths of about 1.8 meters deep underground, finally there are soil and gravel, as well as native rocks.

There are also some cavities here, and there are some wide or narrow cracks in the rock, but the distortion of the stratum is no longer visible, and it has long been smoothed out by nature.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian's sight has reached a depth of more than four meters underground.

Several broken granite slabs suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, there was a tunnel that had already collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, but it was fleeting.

His expression did not change, and he still focused on the ancient words and patterns carved on the stone wall.

After a while, he stood up and said with a smile:

"There are no surprises here. Let's go to the side and take a look. Those stone piers look a bit interesting. If I guessed correctly, they should be the bases of many stone pillars in the Senate!"

Saying that, Ye Tian pointed to a few square stone piers not far away.

Professor Paul also stood up and followed the direction of his fingers and looked over there.

"Okay, Steven, let's go there and have a look, maybe we will find something"

Then, a few of them walked over there.

Within three or two steps, they had come to a stone pier.

This is a granite stone pier, about 30 centimeters high, about 60 centimeters in length and width, with a hollowed-down circular pit on it, about 40 centimeters in diameter.

Around this stone pier, some ancient characters and patterns are engraved.

Judging from the few words that can still be discerned, this is ancient Greek, and the patterns around the stone pier have obvious characteristics of ancient Greek Doric columns.

Ye Tian pretended to look at the stone pier seriously, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Obviously, this is the base of a Doric column, the base is granite, and the Doric column that originally stood on it was probably a marble column.

Judging from the patterns and lines around this stone pillar, it has obvious characteristics of ancient Roman culture, which is very consistent with the characteristics of ancient Roman architecture after BC.”

Hearing his introduction, everyone, including Professor Paul, nodded, meaningless.

Ye Haiya and the others who came to watch the fun were all secretly amazed.

Steven this guy is just like the legend, omnipotent and omnipotent!

There seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't know, no antique artifacts and works of art that he doesn't know.

On this Doric column stone pier, Ye Tian and the others did not find anything, and the words and patterns engraved on the stone pier had no special meaning.

Afterwards, the group of them left here and walked towards another granite pier a few meters away.

After a while, they had checked the four stone piers and came to the fifth stone pier.

This granite stone pier looks very ordinary, and it is no different from the other four stone piers I have seen before. The text and patterns engraved on it are basically the same, but the location is a little more inward.

However, when Ye Tian saw the stone pier, he suddenly paused.

Immediately afterwards, he carefully looked at the granite stone pier, and then looked at the other surrounding stone piers, then frowned and fell into contemplation.

Seeing his performance, everyone else at the scene was very surprised and confused.

Everyone looked at the granite pier, trying to find something.

Professor Paul, Yahya and the others did the same, walking to the granite pier and observing it carefully.

Many media reporters standing in the distance, as well as those watching the lively crowd, also discovered the abnormal situation here.

"Did that lucky guy from Steven find something wrong? If so, it's amazing!"

"Impossible, it's just an ordinary granite pier. I took pictures there just now, and I didn't find anything unusual!"

Just when people were talking about it, Ye Tian suddenly squatted down and started to check the situation on the ground.

He circled around the granite stone pier and carefully checked the ground around the granite pier, but he never said a word.

Afterwards, he took a closer look at the stone pier.

Especially where the stone pier meets the ground, he looked very carefully.

In order to develop this place into a scenic spot and collect ticket money, the Moroccans have already thoroughly cleaned the ground here.

The soil and weeds that originally covered this ground have long been cleaned up, and nothing remains.

In other words, the ground on which Ye Tian and the others stood now was exactly the same as the ground on which the Roman elders stood more than two thousand years ago.

The only difference is that the main building of the Senate on the ground no longer exists and has become a ruin.

The place where the stone pier meets the ground that Ye Tian checked was exactly the same as it was more than two thousand years ago, and there was no difference.

His actions attracted almost everyone's attention.

Everyone was staring at him, staring at the granite pier, and everyone was full of curiosity and anticipation.

Professor Paul and Yahya, who thoroughly checked Shi Dun, found nothing.

Finally, Yahya couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer, and asked with anticipation:

"Steven, what did you find? Can you tell everyone? Don't hang on to everyone's curiosity."

Following his words, Ye Tiantian came out of his own world.

He looked at the granite pier, then at Yahya and Professor Paul, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, I may have really discovered something, but I am not sure, and further exploration is needed to know whether my judgment is correct.

This may be a surprising discovery, or it may be nothing, everything is possible, as for what this discovery is, let me sell it first.”

Ye Haiya and the others were ecstatic at first, and then rolled their eyes helplessly.

"You're such a disgusting fellow. At this time, you're still hanging on to everyone's appetite."

Professor Paul said helplessly.

"That's interesting, isn't it, don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon"

Ye Tian said with a smile.

What can the others do? Can only accept this result and wait patiently.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian called Matisse over and said to him in a low voice:

"Let the guy guarding outside send two pulse metal detectors in, ready to explore the ground of this ancient Roman Senate. There may be some secrets hidden deep underground here."

"Okay, Steven, I'll notify the guy outside right away"

Mattis nodded.

Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact the security personnel who were in the convoy.

Hearing this conversation, Professor Paul and Yahya were full of wonder and surprise.

"Steven, am I right? Is there really any secrets or treasures hidden in the depths of the ancient Roman Senate? Why hasn't it been discovered in the past two thousand years?"

"Can you tell us how you found out?"

Following Ye Haiya's inquiries, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting his answer.

And everyone has gathered around, looking curiously at the granite pier and the surrounding ground.

Unfortunately, no one saw anything.

Ye Tian just smiled and didn't give any answer, and continued to hang everyone's appetite.

Everyone could only wait helplessly, continuing to be tormented by curiosity.

Fortunately, the wait time is not long.

In less than ten minutes, the two security guards under Ye Tian came here with two huge metal suitcases.

Then he summoned several company employees under his command and said to them:

"Guys, you are divided into two groups, take out the pulse metal detector in the box, and thoroughly scan the ground of this ancient Roman senate ruins, maybe you will find something surprising."

"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"

Several company employees responded in unison, and everyone was excited.

In a short while, they had opened the metal suitcase, took out two pulse metal detectors from inside, turned on the detectors, and began to explore.

With their actions, the attention of everyone on the scene was attracted, and everyone was full of expectations and even more excited.

Seeing this scene, the media reporters and tourists who were watching the lively in the distance were also very sure.

"There is no doubt that Steven's guy must have found something, just don't know, did he find a treasure, or an unknown secret?"

"In this historical site that has collapsed for more than 200 years and has been explored and studied countless times, there is still something to be found. This guy Steven is really amazing!"

At the same time, people were very surprised, envious and curious.

In particular, the staff of the Shela Ruins Scenic Spot were all dumbfounded.

Could it be that there really are some treasures or great secrets hidden deep under the ground of the ruins of the ancient Roman Senate?

I've been working here for so long, why didn't I find out?

In the past two hundred years, and even in the past one or two thousand years.

How many people have been here, and how many people have studied and explored the ruins of this ancient Roman senate? Already countless.

But no one has discovered that there may be a treasure or a major secret hidden deep underground in the ruins of the ancient Roman Senate until the magical guy Steven arrives!

Could that legend be true? This guy is the Chosen One.

All the treasures in the world are prepared for him, and they will be swept away by him in the end!

Thinking of this, the staff of the Shela Ruins Scenic Spot are full of regrets, and their eyes are red with envy.

"Steven, now that the exploration operation has started, can you tell everyone? What did you find? How did you find it?"

Yahya asked curiously.

The rest of the people at the scene were also very curious, staring at Ye Tian while staring at the two exploration groups.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then revealed the answer.

"As I said just now, these granite piers are the pillar bases supporting the ancient Roman Senate, and the stone pillars that originally stood on it were all ancient Greek Doric stone pillars.

Among the three types of columns in classical architecture, the Doric column is the earliest one, which first appeared in ancient Greece, and was later inherited and developed by the ancient Romans.

Doric stone columns have their fixed construction rules, especially in some classical buildings such as temples and temples, including the ancient Roman Senate.

When constructing this type of building, each Doric column must conform to the rules, be strictly symmetrical, and the distance between every two Doric columns is equal!

Moreover, the use and location of Doric stone pillars in a classical building are also strictly regulated by UU reading www.uukanshu.com, and a stone pillar cannot be erected anywhere.

Let's take a look at these granite stone piers, look at the distance between these piers, and their respective positions, I believe you can see something."

Following his words, everyone looked at the surrounding granite piers.

Under Ye Tian's deliberate reminder, everyone soon discovered something.

"It seems to be true. The distance between the other stone piers here seems to be the same. Only the distance between this granite stone pier and the stone piers on both sides is different. Look farther!"

"Their positions are not the same. The rest of the stone piers are distributed more regularly. The location of this stone pier is a bit special, or abrupt!"

Unlike ordinary expedition team members and those Moroccan officials, the archaeologists on the scene saw a little more.

"Ah! What an obvious flaw, why didn't we find it? What a blind eye!"

"Not only have we not discovered this flaw, but in the past hundreds of thousands of years, all the archaeologists and various experts and scholars who have been here have not discovered it!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's not surprising that everyone ignores this flaw, because there are no Doric columns here, only some inconspicuous pedestals are left, and this flaw is easy to ignore.

Even if someone discovers this flaw, they don't know what secrets are hidden behind it, and they cannot start exploration operations. They will only think that this is a mistake when building the Senate! "

While he was talking, a pleasant chirping sound suddenly came from not far away.

It was the sound of a pulsed metal detector.
