Treasure Hunt all over the World - Chapter 3200
Chapter 3200 The Secret on the Peak
In the fishing village, Ye Tian and the others were walking up the stairs along the winding alleys to the top of the mountain.
During the march, they kept looking at the houses on both sides and the path under their feet.
On both sides are typical Moroccan-style houses, all made of stones, and the outside is painted blue and white, which looks beautiful from a distance.
A closer look is another matter. Many people’s yards and houses are very dilapidated, and even their families are cramped.
Pique, who came here to inquire about the news before, naturally assumed the responsibility of explaining.
“Steven, in this fishing village, there have always been some legends about the city of the sea, but there are many contradictions in these legends, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.”
Ye Tian smiled, then nodded and said:
“Let’s talk about it, these untrue legends may bring us some inspiration.”
“Yes, there may be valuable information hidden in these legends, which will point the way for our exploration.”
Professor Paul continued, and Ye Haiya and the others also nodded.
Afterwards, Pique began to introduce the legends he had heard.
“In one of the legends, there was once a magnificent palace in this village, standing by the sea, the gate of the palace facing the sea, and there were several strangely shaped statues in the palace.
[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】
Those statues face the sea and stare into the depths of the sea. It is said that the palace existed for a very long time, until the Lisbon earthquake in the eighteenth century completely destroyed the palace.
The ruins of the palace were directly wiped out by the huge tsunami that followed, leaving no traces. When people returned here, they didn’t find even a single piece of debris. The palace completely disappeared! ”
After saying that, he turned back and pointed to a platform by the sea.
The grand palace he was talking about was once located on that platform.
Following the direction of his fingers, everyone turned their heads and looked over.
There was nothing on that platform now except for a few pillars for hanging fishing nets.
“We’ll wait for us to come down from the mountain, and then go to the platform to have a look, and hope to find something!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, and everyone else nodded.
Then, Pique continued:
“In this village, there is another legend circulating. According to legend, a long time ago, a man who went fishing in the sea stumbled and fell into the sea.
When he came up from the sea, there was an extra bag of gold and silver coins in his hand, wrapped in his clothes, and he said that he found an abandoned city on the bottom of the sea.
The city was full of gold and silver, the streets were wide, the buildings were grand, but it was dead silent, and most of the place was buried under the silt.
That package of gold and silver coins came from that city. For those gold and silver coins, the fishermen almost drowned on the seabed and had to throw away most of them before they surfaced.”
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at the turbulent sea behind them, and everyone was full of expectations.
It’s a pity that what they saw was only a piece of blue water, and there was no magnificent city, let alone dazzling gold and silver treasures.
As for whether such a magnificent city is hidden under the sea surface, or even under the thick sediment of the seabed, it is unknown.
Maybe the miracle is hidden under that sea water, maybe there is no miracle there like the bottom of other seas.
Everyone is still marching to the top of the mountain, and Pique is also telling the ancient legend.
“I heard that there is a city on the bottom of the sea, and there is a lot of gold and silver in the city. The other fishermen in the same boat immediately jumped into the sea and dived into the bottom of the sea to find the city.
In the end, they found nothing, and the first fisherman swore that it was impossible, so he went to the sea to explore again, but he failed to come up and died on the bottom of the sea.
The rest of the fishermen could only return by boat. As they returned to the land, the news of a city on the bottom of the sea spread like wildfire and spread to many people’s ears!
After a long period of time, countless people rushed here to explore the city on the bottom of the sea, but found nothing, and a few people died.
As time goes by, no one will come to explore this underwater city, and only regard it as an ethereal legend, and fewer and fewer people know about it.”
At the same time as Pique was explaining, Ye Tian had already secretly activated the perspective ability, scanning the ground under his feet, scanning everything around him, trying to find something.
He did have some discoveries, but these discoveries were nothing to say about surprises, and had nothing to do with the legendary sea city and Atlantis.
These discoveries are just some Moroccan antique relics, the value is quite average, the oldest is only five or six hundred years old, and they are buried deep in the ground of some dwellings.
There are also some building wrecks, not too long ago, mostly from the Lisbon earthquake in the 18th century.
While speaking, everyone has passed through the village.
Then he walked up some distance, and then he reached the top of the mountain.
At this time, many of the expedition groups that set out first had already climbed to the top of the mountain and launched exploration operations, each responsible for an area and began to explore down the mountain.
The security team guarding the top of the mountain built a lookout here and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly.
They held up binoculars and kept looking around.
And also released several small drones to conduct reconnaissance condescendingly, so as to avoid any accidents!
Fortunately, the surroundings are very calm, not even a single figure can be seen, so naturally there is no danger.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, Ye Tian quickly glanced around and determined that there was no danger, and then began to look at the situation on the top of the mountain.
The terrain on the top of the mountain is relatively flat, with an area of only about 300 square meters. Most of the rocks in the field of vision are exposed, and the weathering is relatively severe.
In addition, there are several low shrubs on the top of the mountain, the coverage is not large, and the growth is average.
There is a dilapidated house on the top of the mountain, without doors and windows, only to shelter from the wind and rain, and there are two gas lamps hanging inside.
Facing the sea, the house presumably was used by the fishermen to look out at the sea and also served as a lighthouse.
Apart from these, there is nothing else on the top of the mountain, which is unobstructed.
The side of the hill facing the sea is relatively smooth, so the village was built.
The other three sides are relatively steep and uninhabited, and the vegetation is relatively lush.
At the foot of the mountains to the east and north, there is a large date palm forest, which is lush.
Just as Ye Tian was checking the terrain and surrounding conditions on the top of the mountain, Professor Paul and other experts and scholars couldn’t wait to take action and walked to various places on the top of the mountain.
David, Yahya and others were blowing the sea breeze and enjoying the scenery here.
Looking out from this top of the mountain, the surrounding scenery is very good and worth seeing.
Especially the blue and white fishing village below, the azure blue and boundless Atlantic Ocean a little further away, and the two large ships moored on the sea.
These elements combine to make this scene look beautiful.
After a quick scan of the scene and the surrounding situation, Ye Tian said to Jason and the others:
“Guys, let’s start, you first scan the ground on the top of the mountain with a portable pulse metal explorer to see if you can find any metal objects buried in the ground.
Next, scan the ground with your portable deep ground penetrating radar to see if there are unknown hidden spaces in this small hill, such as secret passages or caves.”
“Okay, Steven, leave these things to us”
Jason nodded in response, and everyone else nodded.
Then they got into action, turned on the pulse metal detector, and began scanning the ground on the top of the mountain.
Ye Tian said hello to David and Ye Haiya, and then walked to Professor Paul and the others, and began to explore.
Of course, he was just acting.
Whether there are any secrets hidden on the top of this small hill, whether there is something related to Atlantis, he already knew it from the moment he reached the top of the mountain.
In three or two steps, he had come to Professor Paul and Professor Douglas.
At this point, the two Columbia professors were studying the walls of the house on top of the hill.
This small house that acts as a lighthouse should have existed for a long time, collapsed again and again, and rebuilt by generations of fishermen.
However, the building materials used have not changed much. They are basically the same stones as before, only the beams are constantly being replaced.
The foundation of this house, as well as the part near the top of the mountain, is still basically in its ancient state.
It is only the higher part above that is constantly being rebuilt.
When he got here, Ye Tian first looked at the house, and then said with a smile:
“Professor Paul, Professor Douglas, you have studied so seriously, have you found anything?”
The two professors turned their heads and glanced, then pointed to a cornerstone in the corner and said:
“Steven, look at the side of this cornerstone, there are several Latin letters engraved, which should be the initials of a person. Although it is very weathered, it can still be seen clearly.
From the degree of weathering of these Latin letters, combined with the history of Morocco, it is basically certain that these Latin letters should have been engraved here before the Middle Ages.
From this, it can be determined that this fishing village has a very long history and existed since the time when the Romans ruled Morocco, so the legend of the city by the sea is also normal.”
Following the direction of Professor Paul’s finger, Ye Tian saw the vague ancient Latin letters at a glance.
Since those letters were shorthand, they couldn’t guess for a moment what the name of the guy who engraved these Latin letters was.
Ye Tian squatted down and checked the Latin words, then nodded and said:
“Judging from the degree of weathering of these words, it has a history of at least 1,230 years. It seems that the history of this fishing village is old enough. I hope we can make surprising discoveries here.”
Professor Paul and the others all nodded, their eyes full of anticipation.
Next, the three of them got together and studied these Latin letters carefully, but nothing new was found.
Then they circled the house again and went inside to explore.
Because it is used as a watchtower and a lighthouse by the villagers, although it is very simple and somewhat dilapidated, it is very clean and there is no unpleasant smell.
Inside and outside this room, Ye Tian and the others discovered some words, symbols, and various patterns one after another.
These words and symbols are different and come from different historical eras.
From Latin in ancient Rome, to Berber, to later Arabic, Portuguese, French and other languages, some traces can be found here.
The same goes for various patterns, which come from different historical periods.
Those patterns and symbols were engraved here for a span of fourteen or five hundred years, from Roman rule to modern times.
But unfortunately, they did not find any words and symbols related to Atlantis.
The legends about the city of the sea circulating in the fishing village do not appear here in the form of words, and it seems that they are only passed down orally among the fishermen from generation to generation.
In the process of exploration, Ye Tian took a quick look at the place, but found no surprises.
After a while, they had finished exploring this room and left here, ready to explore other areas on the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the boy Jason suddenly shouted:
“Steven, we have scanned some metal signals here. I don’t know what it is. Come and have a look.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then everyone’s face showed a look of surprise.
Could it be that this bare mountain top really hides some great secret? I don’t know if this secret is related to the legendary Atlantis?
Ye Tian glanced at Jason and the others, then walked over.
Professor Paul and the others followed immediately, as well as David and Yahya who were admiring the scenery. Everyone was full of anticipation.
Soon, everyone came to Jason and the others.
Coming to the front, Ye Tian first checked the data detected by the pulse metal detector, and then looked at the ground in front of him.
There happened to be a bush on that piece of ground, and the metal signals scanned were just under that bush.
“Steven, it is here that we scanned a very strong metal signal, only about two meters away from the ground. The number is relatively concentrated, but the distribution range is not wide. I don’t know what it is?”
Jason introduced the scene.
As he said that, he also asked the company employee with the pulse metal detector to scan the ground with a probe.
Following this action, a pleasant chirping sound immediately sounded at the scene, which sounded like the sound of nature.
Hearing this voice, everyone was excited.
Especially Ye Haiya and the others, their eyes lit up with excitement.
“I didn’t expect that there are hidden secrets here. It’s incredible. Steven, what are these metal objects buried in the ground? Will they be the same as the legendary Atlanta? What about Tees?”
Following these words, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone’s eyes were extremely hot.
Ye Tian did not respond immediately. He checked the data on the pulse metal detector again, pondered for a while, and then said with a smile:
“Guys, these metal objects are not many in number, but they are all placed together, and they are not widely distributed. What are they specifically, and are they related to the legendary Atlantis? I don’t know.
But it doesn’t matter, the answer will be revealed soon, as long as you shovel this bush, dig this ground, and just dig down about two meters, everyone will be able to see these metal objects and know what they are! ”
Before he finished speaking, Ye Haiya couldn’t wait to say:
“In that case, let’s start. Everyone wants to know what these metal objects are, and does it have anything to do with the legendary Atlantis?”
Everyone else nodded, obviously very urgent.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then nodded with a smile and said:
“Since everyone is so anxious, let’s get started, Jason, you lead someone to shovel out this bush, take a look at the situation under the bush, and then decide the next move.
Be careful when shoveling bushes, and be careful about what is hidden in the bushes, such as various poisonous insects that carry highly poison, etc. There are many poisonous insects in Morocco! ”
“Understood, Steven, leave this to us, we’ll be careful!”
Jason nodded in response, and then led people into action. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
