Treasure Hunt all over the World - Chapter 3213
Chapter 3213 The Mysterious Temple
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had brought people to the halfway up the north side of the hill, where he joined Professor Kane and the others.
At this time, Professor Kane and Professor Douglas were both disgraced and embarrassed, but they were very excited.
At the feet of the two of them, there was an ancient and damaged building remnant, which was 1.23 meters long and looked quite heavy.
Most of this building remnant is covered with dirt, and only a small part looks clean.
The part with the soil, which should have been buried in the ground before, was just dug out of the soil.
The one-meter-deep dirt pit next to it, as well as the shovel and crowbar thrown on the ground, are enough to explain the problem.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others coming, Professor Kane immediately pointed to the building remnant and said:
“Steven, Paul, when we were exploring here just now, we found an ordinary-looking building remnant, which is the clean part of the top of the building remnant.
At that location, we found neither ancient writing nor any special pattern. At first, we didn’t take it seriously. When we were going to look at this building remnant, we found that we couldn’t move it.
This aroused our curiosity, so we hired shovels and crowbars to dig. As a result, the deeper we dug, the larger the building debris buried in the sand became.
In the end, we dug up such a big guy, and in the part of the big guy buried in the sand, we found some well-preserved ancient Greek writing and patterns.
Those ancient Greek words are very recognizable, and their content translates to ‘great and majestic sea king, who rules all waters except the land, and he has terrifying great power’.
In addition to these ancient Greek words, we also found the pattern of a half-carriage on this building remnant, and it can be seen from these words and patterns that this building remnant comes from the Temple of Sea God.”
Before the words fell, there was an exclamation from the scene.
“Wow! The meaning of these words and patterns couldn’t be clearer. What they point to is obviously Poseidon, the sea god. It seems that there is really a sea **** temple here. It’s incredible.”
“If there really is a Sea God Temple here, then it’s a bit inexplicable. You know, this is the edge of the Sahara Desert, and there are still more than ten kilometers from the Atlantic coast!
Why did the ancients build a sea temple here? Could it be that the coastline was here at the time? This is impossible. It is only a thousand or two thousand years. How can the coastline retreat by more than ten kilometers? ”
Everyone was talking and getting excited.
Ye Tian squatted down, pretending to be serious and began to look at this ancient building remnant.
In fact, when he first arrived here, he already knew some information about this building remnant!
Professor Paul and Professor Kane also squatted down and discussed this ancient building remnant while studying.
“You’re right, Professor Kane, judging from the contents of these ancient Greek texts, this building remnant is indeed from the Sea God Temple, and there was indeed a Poseidon Sea God Temple here.
This is completely certain now, but I am a little puzzled. Was this temple built by the Romans, the ancient Greeks, or someone else? ”
Ye Tian nodded and said, with a bit of doubt in his words.
Hearing this, the rest of the people were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Paul asked in surprise:
“Steven, why do you say that? The Romans ruled this area for hundreds of years, so it’s not surprising to build such a sea god.
Although the ancient Greeks had very close contacts with this place, but they did not rule it, it is naturally impossible to build a sea **** temple here.”
“That’s right, it’s impossible that this Sea God Temple was built by the ancient Greeks, and the Carthaginians may still be possible.”
Professor Douglas nodded in agreement.
Ye Tian smiled, and then pointed to the pattern on the remnant of the building.
“I know, it’s a bit bizarre to say that this Sea God Temple was built by the ancient Greeks, but please look at these ancient decorative patterns, do they have obvious ancient Greek classicism?”
Following the direction of his fingers, everyone looked at the decorative patterns engraved on the building remnants.
Different from the decorative patterns on other building remnants found before, because this building remnant is buried underground, the characters and patterns engraved on it are not weathered and are very clear.
In this way, everyone can not only accurately translate those ancient Greeks, but also see more.
The decorative patterns engraved on it are very simple, just some curly grass patterns and ocean wave patterns, but they reveal a bit of the elegant beauty of classical art.
After Ye Tian’s reminder, Professor Paul and the others soon discovered something.
“That’s true. This is the carving technique of ancient Greek classical art. There are still some differences with Roman carving art. Could this temple of the sea **** really be built by the ancient Greeks?”
“I remembered that the same artistic style of ornamentation I have seen on the ruins of the ancient Greek buildings on the Acropolis, but not in Rome.”
Ye Tian nodded and then continued to explain:
“We know that although ancient Rome inherited the culture and art of ancient Greece, it developed its own characteristics, especially in the art of sculpture, which is particularly prominent.
From the point of view of sculpture art alone, ancient Roman sculpture art is obviously inferior to ancient Greek sculpture art, especially ancient Greek classical sculpture, which is the pinnacle of sculpture art.
The classical sculpture art shown on this building remnant is not available to the Romans, so I suspect that this Poseidon was built by the ancient Greeks.”
“Indeed, the artistic expression of ancient Roman sculpture is indeed different from Greek classical sculpture. This should not be a temple built by the Romans.”
Professor Kane nodded and said, and the rest of the people also nodded.
After a while, Ye Tian continued:
“Of course, there is also the possibility that this Sea God Temple was built during the reign of Carthage, and the person who designed and built this Sea God Temple came from the Greek region.
For example, during the Hellenistic period, classical sculpture art was still popular and dominant in Greece, and three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period were also born.
Another point, this building remnant should be the part above the entrance of the Poseidon Temple, everyone thinks about the Greek temples in the Acropolis, is it deja vu! ”
Before he finished speaking, Professor Paul nodded and said:
“Yes, Steven, after your reminder, I immediately thought of the Parthenon Temple. Above the colonnade of the Parthenon Temple, there are indeed many similar words and patterns engraved.”
Next, several of them continued to study this ancient building remnant and had a heated discussion.
After a while, they came to an agreement.
The temple of the sea that once stood on the top of this mountain should have been built in the Hellenistic period or before. It should be the Greeks who designed and presided over the construction of this temple.
But in doing so, it goes against the known history of Morocco.
One is that ancient Greece did not rule this land, but had very close ties and contacts with it.
The second is that ancient Rome during the Hellenistic period had not yet occupied this land.
At that time, Morocco was still under the rule of Carthage, and it was not until around 40 AD that the Roman Empire really occupied this land.
In AD 40, the Hellenistic era had long since passed, and the brilliant and splendid art of classical Greek sculpture had completely withered away.
In this case, the appearance of this Sea God Temple becomes a mystery.
Either known history has gone wrong, or Carthage asked the Greeks to come here and build this Poseidon!
Another possibility is that some unknown force built this Sea God Temple.
And this unknown force must have a very close connection with ancient Greece, or it is a branch of the ancient Greeks.
These very different conjectures made everyone excited.
But after some discussion, we still could not reach a consensus.
In order to find more evidence and find more architectural remnants from the Sea God Temple on the top of the mountain, Ye Tian sent several exploration teams over and asked them to explore the area north of the hill.
It is a pity that everyone has not found anything, and has not found any more fragments of the Sea God Temple.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to three o’clock in the afternoon.
The various exploration groups explored all the way down from the top of the hill, not far from the foot of the hill.
Apart from the large building remnants of the Tanah Lot, there were no surprising discoveries.
In the process, everyone also found some metal objects buried in the ground, but it doesn’t matter if they are treasures, and there is no excavation value.
Gu Bang At this time, except for the few families halfway up the mountain, the rest of the hill has basically been explored.
If nothing is found in those families, then the three-party joint exploration team can only leave here and go home!
Today’s joint exploration operation will also come to an end, but this period is not so complete.
Like many exploration groups, Ye Tian and the others also walked down the mountain.
Just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Matisse’s voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
“Steven, following the tails of the joint exploration team, has already arrived at this town, and it will be coming this way. Those guys knew that they couldn’t come by car, so they all chose to walk.
If those guys come to visit as tourists, since there are many media reporters among them, the Moroccan police who are vigilant on the periphery want to intercept them all, I am afraid it is not suitable.”
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“It doesn’t matter, just let those guys come over, this time there is not much gain, don’t worry about those guys making treasure ideas or leaking secrets.
But we still have to be a little more careful and let the guys be vigilant, among those who follow, we will have our enemies if we don’t keep them together.”
“Understood, Steven, leave these things to us”
Mattis responded and ended the call.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Haiya next to him continued:
“Steven, do we need to do something? For example, drive away those nasty guys. This is Morocco, and it’s not their turn to be so unscrupulous.”
Ye Tian looked at the high-ranking Moroccan official, pondered for a while, then nodded and said:
“It’s better if you block some of those guys, Ye Haiya, tell the policemen who are guarding the roads in the town that anyone who wants to come here will be checked, and no one can carry firearms, I believe This will stop some ill-intentioned guys!”
“Ok, Steven”
Ye Haiya nodded in response.
Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and started giving orders to the Moroccan security chief.
While speaking, Ye Tian and the others had already descended to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Miller suddenly pointed to the sky in the direction of the town and said:
“Steven, look over there, there are two small drones, they are probably here to investigate the situation.”
Following the direction of his fingers, everyone looked up at the sky.
as expected!
In the sky above the town, there were indeed two small white drones, about fifty meters above the ground, flying towards the small hill.
Ye Tian glanced at the two small drones, and said coldly:
“As long as it’s not our drone, shoot it down for me, don’t let one go, and do the same in the future.”
“Understood, leave it to us”
Miller nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and issued a hands-on order.
The next moment, two security personnel who were staying near the convoy directly opened the door of an SUV and took out two electronic jamming guns from inside.
Immediately afterwards, they aimed their guns at the two small drones and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The two small drones also noticed their movements and wanted to avoid them.
Unfortunately, everything is too late.
They were just about to be pulled up to avoid the attack of the electronic jamming gun, but like kites with broken strings, they lost control in an instant and fell from the air.
“what!”
Those onlookers who saw this scene exclaimed in surprise.
In the two cars on the other side of the town, there was a burst of angry curses gnashing their teeth at the same time.
“Fake! How come these **** American **** even have electronic jamming guns, are they really here to explore the treasure?”
“Damn, another small drone was lost, but no useful photos were taken, what a bad luck!”
Before the curse could fall, the two small drones smashed to the ground and were scrapped in an instant.
Ye Tian had already withdrawn his gaze and walked straight to the crowd behind the cordon.
Seeing his actions, Ye Haiya and Professor Paul were a little surprised and followed.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian had come to the vicinity of the cordon and stopped less than three meters away from the cordon.
The Moroccans who were watching the lively outside the cordon were stunned for a moment.
Everyone was confused and didn’t know why he came.
Then, someone asked loudly:
“Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, may I ask, have you made any major discoveries on this hill? Is the legendary Atlantis really here?”
“Hello, Mr. Steven, we saw you digging on the top of the mountain before, did you find any treasure? Can you tell us about the situation?”
People were asking questions loudly, and everyone was full of curiosity and regret.
Ye Tian looked at these curious guys, then smiled and said aloud:
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, what I can tell you is that we found no treasure on this hill, only a few hidden old World War II guns.
Although those old World War II guns are antique firearms, their value is limited, and they are not even worth the gas money we rushed here. For now, our joint exploration operation is at a loss.”
“what
Ha ha”
There was laughter at the scene.
Hearing that the joint exploration team did not find any treasure, they ran for nothing. Many of the guys who were watching the excitement felt very refreshed and laughed unconsciously.
Of course, there are a lot of gloating guys out there. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
After the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:
“But it’s not that we didn’t find out, one thing is certain, there was indeed an ancient city on this small hill, and there was once a Sea God Temple on the top of the hill.
I would like to ask, have you ever picked up some peculiar things on this small hill? Like broken sculptures, building components, or something?
If you have such things in your hands, you might as well take them out and let me see. If those things are valuable, I am willing to pay for them to save them from being buried.”
Hearing this, Yahya and Professor Paul’s eyes lit up.
Only at this time did they understand Ye Tian’s purpose for coming here.
No doubt, this is a very smart move.
The Sea God Temple on the top of the mountain had long since collapsed and turned into a broken wall.
The people who live in this small town will move some building wrecks from the mountain to build houses or build courtyard walls and the like.
There may be clues that people are looking for in those things that have been removed by people.
Ye Haiya and the others just thought of this, and someone at the scene responded.
“Mr. Steven, would a broken sculpture do? How much would that be worth?”
a man in his forties asked loudly.
Before the words fell, Ye Tian and the others had a look of surprise on their faces.
