Chapter 406 Press Conference
"At 10:41:22 am local time on May 21, Los Angeles, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake occurred. The focal point is located in Brisbane, southern San Francisco, with a depth of 11.2 kilometers. Fortunately, this earthquake did not cause casualties, and there were a number of old houses in downtown San Francisco that were damaged to a certain extent..."
"The earthquake that broke out at 10:41:22 this morning did not cause panic in the San Francisco area..."
"The San Francisco earthquake collapsed the swimming pool in a sea-side villa in the Sea Cliff Community. What is surprising is that under the swimming pool, there is an Indian sacrificial temple built more than 600 years ago hidden..."
"The earthquake brought the six hundred years of Indian sacrifice temple to the world..."
"The Indian sacrificial temple appeared six hundred years ago, with a large number of precious cultural relics..."
......
If the San Francisco Chronicle reported the earthquake that happened in the morning, then the many news that followed clearly put the earthquake second. What accompanied the earthquake was a "Indian Sacrifice Temple" that made countless people widen their eyes!
Especially when many beautiful photos appeared on the Internet, this Indian sacrificial temple with a history of more than 600 years immediately became the headline in San Francisco, and this headline was still spreading rapidly to the United States and the world at the speed of light.
Because the United States has only more than 200 years of founding history, Americans attach great importance to historical relics and inheritance. Whenever a ruin with a history of hundreds or even thousands of years is found in the United States, it will cause a sensation across the United States.
This time, the same is true for this Indian sacrificial temple. For Americans for six hundred years, it is a shocking history. Even if this sacrificial temple belongs to Indians, isn’t it also in the United States? Indians are also natives of the United States. Isn’t their history equivalent to the history of our Greater America?
It is really difficult for Chinese people who have a long history and civilizational heritage to understand this sentiment of Americans. If it is only six hundred years of history, that is, the early Ming Dynasty, it is nothing. Some mainstream media can mention that even if it is very favorable, if you want to make headlines in mainstream media in China, at least it must be of the Sanxingdui and Terracotta Warriors, even Cao Cao’s tomb can’t make headlines. But in the United States, buildings with a history of six hundred years are definitely headlines that have caused a sensation in the country.
Therefore, when this news broke out completely, the originally quiet Haijing Community in the southeast of San Francisco immediately became a place of attention across the United States.
In just one day, all the reporters from the big media in the United States who were almost famous came here. Even reporters from the three major American newspapers, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the three major TV stations NBC, ABC, and CBS, came, and even reporters from the three leading journalists, Time magazine, came.
The local media in San Francisco, who was a little late to realize it, is also a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle, the second largest newspaper on the West Coast. Finally, with the convenience of the geographical advantage, it did not fall behind other peers.
And it is Zhao Meng and Lin Dan who are behind the scenes who are driving all this development.
They are both native Chinese Americans and still have a good understanding of Americans' emphasis on history. The Indian sacrificial temple just fits the Americans' emphasis on history and inheritance. So they both pushed it behind the scenes and with the help of developed information, the matter was immediately hyped up.
In this case, Lin Dan, as Yang Jing's spokesperson, appeared at the press conference.
The press conference was held on the evening of the second day after discovering the temple of worship. Lin Dan attended the press conference with an old gray-haired woman.
"Hello Mr. Lin, I am Clara Simmons of the New York Times. Can that temple be sure to be the Indian sacrifice temple more than 600 years ago?"
As the largest newspaper industry in the United States, the New York Times reporter was the first opportunity to ask questions.
"After more than a day of verification, we have been able to initially determine that this temple has a history of 600 years. Of course, you may not recognize these professional matters, after all, I am not a professional archaeologist." Lin Dan said with a smile, "However, since we discovered this temple yesterday morning, we immediately sent an invitation to the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University and the University of San Francisco to invite famous archaeological experts from these three universities to study. So, now, please invite the famous social and humanities expert at the University of California, Berkeley and Mrs. Maria Bruce, a famous Indian culture expert, to introduce some of the situations of this temple to you."
The audience immediately heard warm applause. Although these reporters used any means to news, they still respected the real experts very much, especially the expert can now answer what they care about most.
The old woman sitting next to Lin Dan was nothing but George Cruise's mother and a professor of social and humanities at Berkeley, California.
Thanks to George Bruce's convenience, his mother, Mrs. Bruce, was the third group of people to enter this sacrificial temple. The first two groups were Yang Jing and the others, and the second group were Lin Dan and Zhao Meng. Mrs. Bruce was the first real expert to enter this sacrificial temple.
Of course, there were several of her colleagues and several assistants who entered the temple with Mrs. Bruce.
As for experts from Stanford University and the University of San Francisco, they only entered the temple this morning. So in this regard, Mrs. Bruce has the greatest authority, and it is natural for her to participate in this press conference.
"That's right, according to the verification of eight of us professionals, this Indian sacrifice temple discovered in the earthquake has indeed a history of 600 years. According to our verification, we unanimously believe that this temple should have been built in the early 16th century." Mrs. Bruce said, pressing the remote control in her hand, and the projector hanging beside immediately revealed some high-definition images.
"Please look at this photo. This is the most important building in the temple." The photo shows the pyramid. "A miniature Mayan pyramid with a base of six meters and a height of eight meters has obvious Mayan civilization characteristics. The emergence of this pyramid also confirms a legend circulating among the Indian tribes in San Francisco. It is said that in the early 16th century, an Indian tribe from southeastern Mexico arrived near San Francisco after a long journey and merged with the local Costano..."
As soon as the golden pyramid appeared, the sound of the audience's gasping sound almost converged into a hurricane, even covering up Mrs. Bruce's subsequent explanation.
These people don’t know that the eight-meter-high pyramid is made of gold and stone. Judging from the photos alone, they all think that the pyramid is made of pure gold.
Those who can become journalists are not fools. They are very flexible in their heads, so they can estimate the size of this pyramid with just a little calculation.
If this pyramid is really made of gold, then the gold used in this pyramid is over half of the gold in the Fort Knox Gold Treasury!
This is definitely the largest treasure discovered in human history so far.
In contrast, the treasure of Tutankhamun, the treasure of Pirates of the Caribbean, and even the treasure of the legendary last Russian tsar are far less valuable than the value of this pyramid.
Some journalists who suddenly burst out of adrenaline have even thought about the title of the upcoming report - "The San Francisco Earthquake causes the discovery of the most expensive treasure in human history". This is the theme, and the subtitle is even simpler. With a photo of this pyramid, and another paragraph, the eye-catching ability is absolutely more than 12% - this golden pyramid is made of more than 1,800 tons of gold!
The flashes that kept lit up on the scene were like people were in a thunder and lightning storm. The reporters wanted to cut off this photo from the projector.
Earthquakes, treasures, sacrifice temples, pyramids made of 1,800 tons of gold, once these words gather together, it is a super heavyweight news that can make the entire earth tide!
Some anxious online media reporters can't wait to start tapping on their laptops...
Of course, some reporters raised their hands high, hoping to stuff their hands into Lin Dan's mouth.
However, Lin Dan did not pay attention to these reporters, but instead signaled Mrs. Bruce to continue to press the remote control with her eyes.
The next moment, the photo of the pyramid just now disappeared, and a sun jewelry made of pure gold appeared in the photo. Mrs. Bruce's voice sounded again, "This is another important item found in the temple. North American Indians worshiped the sun, and this sun jewelry appeared in this temple, and together with the pyramid just now, formed the most important sacrificial object in this temple."
This sun jewelry is also golden, although it is far less terrifying than the pyramid just now, but this golden sun jewelry also caused all the reporters present to swallow their spits.
At this time, the picture changed again, and dozens of statues emitting golden light appeared in the photos. Although these statues were flooded by sea water, the clear sea water could not block the reflection of the golden light. Through the clear sea water, everyone could clearly see the dozens of statues shining golden light under the water.
Chapter completed!
