Chapter 3080 The Emperor's Mausoleum(1/2)
Although everyone found a lot of information about the ancient kingdom of Sheba and the Queen of Sheba, they did not find clues to Solomon's treasure and the ark of the covenant.
Most of the ancient characters and patterns engraved in the fragments of obelisks and architectural ruins cannot be interpreted.
Perhaps clues about Solomon's treasure and the ark of the covenant are hidden in the ancient texts, but they are just unaware of it.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Solomon's treasure is not in Aksum at all.
In addition to some ancient texts and clues about the Queen of Sheba, everyone also found the name of Menelik I on one of the fragments of the obelisk.
Unfortunately, the text on the fragment of the obelisk associated with it has long been blurred and cannot be interpreted at all!
No one knows what is recorded after the name of Menelek I.
Next, everyone will continue to study the contents engraved on the fragments of the obelisk, and everyone is very devoted.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
Ye Tian and an archaeologist were studying a fragment of an obelisk, and an excited voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, I'm Wells, you'd better come here to take a look. We found a large number of metal objects, buried at a depth of about eight or nine meters underground, and the signal is quite strong."
"The depth of eight or nine meters underground should exceed the detection range of the pulse metal detector! What's going on?"
Ye Tian said in surprise, and turned to look to the west side of the square.
Wells and their exploration area are located there.
When everyone else at the scene was excited when they heard Wells' notice, their eyes shining brightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and quickly walked towards the west side of the square.
The others followed immediately, everyone was full of expectations.
Deputy Mayor Aksum took two steps quickly, rushed to Ye Tian, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Mr. Steven, are these metal objects buried deep underground discovered by your employees really the legendary treasure of Solomon?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this person, and said with a smile:
"If it was really Solomon's treasure, it would be better, but I don't think it's possible. These metal objects buried deep underground are more likely to be the burial objects of some Ethiopian emperor.
Don’t forget that in ancient Ethiopia, this famous obelisk square was the place where the king’s funeral was held. These obelisks were said to be used to mark the king’s tomb!”
Hearing this, Deputy Mayor Aksum immediately flashed with surprise on his face.
The same is true for the other Ethiopians, who prefer to discover other treasures.
They knew that if the Solomon treasure was discovered, Tigray and Aksum could not get anything from this famous treasure, and could only get some economic compensation and assistance from the Israelites!
If it is another treasure, then half of this treasure will belong to Tigray.
With yesterday's experience, they all knew that this might mean a huge fortune.
Unlike them, Joshua and Bishop Kent and others, of course, wanted to discover the treasure of Solomon.
After a while, everyone continued to come to the area where the Wells Exploration Group was located.
This is an ancient architectural ruin. It was once a palace or temple, but now it has long collapsed.
There was only a foundation less than one meter high, some steps, several low walls, and stones of different sizes left on the site.
When he arrived here, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the scene before saying:
"Willes, tell me about your discovery, this may be a surprising discovery."
"Okay, Steven"
Wells nodded and then began to introduce the situation.
"Our group is responsible for exploring this area. When exploring around, there were no surprises. We only scanned a few metal objects that were buried very shallow and isolated.
Afterwards, we came here and scanned the foundation about one meter above the ground, and found nothing. When we got here, the pulse metal detector suddenly rang out."
As he said that, Wells pointed to the lowest point in the ruins of this ancient building.
It should be a basement, which is not large in size, but is about one meter lower than the ground, with steps connected to the above foundation.
Ye Tian looked at the situation in the basement, and then suddenly said:
"No wonder you can detect the depth of eight or nine meters underground. This should be a basement, which is much lower than the ground, and undoubtedly increases the detection depth of the pulse metal detector!"
Wells nodded and said excitedly:
"Yes, Steven, it was because of this ancient basement that we detected the metal objects buried eight or nine meters deep underground, otherwise we would have missed it.
Below this basement, about eight or nine meters deep, there are many metal objects buried. The number is unknown and the distribution range is very concentrated, with at least six or seven square meters."
As he said that, the guy walked into this ancient basement and started scanning the ground with a pulse metal detector.
As he moved, the pulse metal detector immediately rang out, and the sound was extremely pleasant.
Ye Tian then walked forward and began to check the detected signals and data, and whispered analyses with his employees.
In that ancient basement, Wells took the pulse metal detector to scan the ground thoroughly, and the sound of the pulse metal detector never stopped.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the scene was very excited.
After Wells completed the scan, Ye Tian fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Kor, you arrange for two guys to bring the portable deep ground penetrating radar, I want to use that thing!"
"Received, Steven"
Cole responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Joshua, who was standing beside him, could no longer bear it and asked impatiently:
"Steven, what exactly is the thing buried deep underground? Is it the Solomon treasure, or some other treasure? Let me introduce the situation!"
Not only him, but others also want to know what is buried here.
Ye Tian looked at these guys and said aloud:
"Gentlemen, what is buried deep under the ruins of this ancient building may not be the legendary Solomon treasure, but the tomb of an ancient Ethiopian emperor.
Judging from the distribution and placement of these metal objects, they look like burial objects. If this is the case, the specifications of this king's tomb must be very high.
Unfortunately, the building on the ground has completely collapsed and there is no obelisk here, so it is difficult to figure out the identity of the Ethiopian emperor for a while.
Next, I want to use a portable deep ground penetrating radar to detect it to see if underground buildings such as tombs can be detected to verify whether my judgment is accurate!”
While saying this, Ye Tian also introduced to several archaeologists the meaning of the relevant detection data.
After listening to the introduction, several archaeologists nodded.
"I also think this is a tomb of the Ethiopian emperor, not a treasure. What is detected is that metal objects are probably burial objects, and the way they are placed is enough to illustrate this."
An archaeologist at Harvard University said that it was the same as the analysis given by Ye Tian.
Hearing this, Joshua and his friends couldn't help but look disappointed in their eyes.
Unlike them, all the Ethiopians at the scene were happy and almost cheered.
"Mr. Steven, if this is really a tomb of an ancient Ethiopian emperor, not a treasure, you cannot excavate at will according to the relevant agreements we have reached before!"
Deputy Mayor Aksum said.
Ye Tian looked at this guy and nodded immediately.
"Yes, if we find out that this is indeed a tomb of a king, we will not excavate, but will hand over the relevant detection data to you. As for whether you excavate, it has nothing to do with us!"
Hearing this, the Ethiopians suddenly laughed even happier.
For them, this is definitely an unexpected surprise and may bring a huge amount of wealth.
As for whether they will excavate the tomb of the king, do you still need to ask?
When the three-party joint exploration team leaves, they will launch an excavation operation as soon as possible and bring out everything buried in this emperor's tomb!
If their movements are a little slower, the farmers around Obelisk Square and many guys who are staring at the three-party joint team should take action!
While speaking, the portable deep ground penetrating radar was sent over.
Then, Ye Tian directed his employees to remove the ground penetrating radar and start surveying.
The survey results were released soon, exactly the same as his previous analysis.
These metal objects buried deep underground were the burial of an ancient Ethiopian emperor, neatly placed in the tomb of this emperor.
The tomb of this Ethiopian emperor was very well preserved, with no damage to the tomb chambers, tomb passages, burial pits, etc.
The data and signals detected by deep ground penetrating radar can even be drawn.
With such a result, some people will naturally be happy and some will be disappointed!
As for who this ancient Ethiopian emperor who was sleeping deep underground, the value of the burial objects around him had nothing to do with the three-party joint exploration team!
Next, Ye Tian checked the ruins of this ancient building again.
Confirm that there was no new discovery, he left here and returned to the area he was exploring before.
Wells and the others used portable deep ground penetrating radar to quickly investigate the situation deep underground of the ruins, and then handed over the relevant data to Deputy Mayor Aksum.
