The Adventures of Treasure Hunters – 1 season - Chapter 100：A little bit of project history 47086_1

Fang began to scan the remains of the ruins with a scanner. On the ground, only a circle with the remains of brickwork could be seen. Only 10-15 bricks were sticking out of the ground. According to the idea, there should have been a dome with a height of 4 meters and diameters of 10 meters. But there was no dome. And the water tank itself was filled up with earth.

So, probably under the ground, the remnants of the canals along which rain, melt, and underground water would collect could be preserved.

And in the canals, treasures could be hidden, because it was not without reason that they were buried. Buried during the second empire. Local authorities were from the residents of Small An. they did not want cultural heritage to be taken out into the empire. They attempted to preserve their history and culture. However, alas for them, they did not know that those who would be called upon to protect the cultural heritage, after the collapse of the second empire, the elite of the country, the new country, would itself sell the cultural heritage to foreigners.

So perhaps it would be nice not to dig up old historical artifacts to try to save them in Small-An, for new generations. But it is not a fact that new generations will be as reverent about their culture and history as their ancestors did 50-70 years ago. Maybe the younger generation will be closer not to culture but money? Who knows? No one! One can only hypothesize!

But Fang was not a resident of Small-An, he needed to test his new equipment in the field, he needed a good result, and pocket money would not be superfluous!

Like Dara, he only hoped that there would be no historical artifacts or manuscripts, since by law they must be handed over to state museums, for free! And so that there were coins or even better jewelry.

When searching, the treasure hunters constantly hope in their head not to find a historical artifact, since they will have to give it to the state museum for free. And this can sometimes be estimated at tens of thousands of dollars and sometimes millions of dollars. The state does not give anything in return. Even a paper on tax cuts. At best, it will be on paper, printed, that such and such and such a gift was donated to the museum. In this case, the new director of the museum can throw this piece of paper and all.

Also, treasure hunters hope not to find weapons, ammunition, dynamite, TNT, shells and aerial bombs. They need to be taken to the Ministry of Emergencies or the Police. And this is such a headache. A lot of time is spent on paperwork.

Since in the second empire, these data were confidential, and no burial maps were preserved, the chance to stumble upon such hen is very great, especially in the desert or steppe.

Still, treasure hunters hope not to find human bones since again you need to call the police.

It is not yet possible to find a mound or an old grave since this study is already a monument of cultural heritage and all things found must be submitted for examination to the Ministry of Culture. And there is a high probability that the found artifacts will be recognized as monuments of cultural heritage and, therefore, donated to state museums.

Not as simple as we would like!

The display at Fang began to show the inside of the structure, which were hidden underground, indeed there were two large rooms and several branches and tunnels. But before they had to dig at least 4 meters. Fang walked in the direction of the tunnels. They were in three directions north, south, and east. The tunnels went 40 meters … and then broke off. Either the tunnels were falling asleep, or they went out to the water collection funnels, a kind of drainage water collection wells. But they were also bombarded. Fang did not particularly dig and make pits. And the scanner showed that in the tunnels and two rooms there is no presence of non-ferrous metal, but there was only iron. And because of him, I did not want to waste time digging, it would take at least 5 days. Isn’t it worth it ?! Baraz looked over his shoulder, he was glad. Since it is possible in the tunnels artifacts of project 47086-1 were used. Perhaps it was the weapons depots for the partisan brigades of the secret police in case of occupation of the territory of the second empire – fascist mercenaries who could penetrate from the cross-border territory. Of course, this did not happen, but the hiding places remained. And because of the purges in the 1930s and 1940s, many officers involved in project 47086_1 were executed. Therefore, now even in the secret police archive itself. almost no information about this project has been preserved.

Therefore, it was so important for the colonel and Baraz.
