Chapter 308: Statues that are rivals(1/2)
After opening the cave entrance of the mountain with treasure hidden on the cliff, the rock climbers from Israel and Sultan began to punch rock nails around the cave entrance and install rope-down equipment.
However, they did not destroy the entrance of the cave, such as expanding the entrance, but protected the Shandong as much as possible, nor did they immediately drill into the cave to explore the treasure.
The work of entering the cave and exploring the treasure will be completed by the subsequent exploration team members who climbed the cliff, including all excavation and cleaning work.
After installing the cable-landing device, the rock climbers came down from the cliff and rested in the valley.
Immediately afterwards, Peter and another Israeli security officer climbed up the cliff and successfully arrived at the hole in the reverse bow area in the middle of the cliff.
But instead of entering the cave, they worked with ground security personnel to hang two young archaeologists from Israel and Sudan onto the cliff and send them into the cave.
As the two archaeologists entered, as the lights entered, the cave hanging high in the middle of the cliff finally appeared in front of everyone.
The treasure that had been hidden in the cave for countless years was finally unveiled.
After climbing into the cave, the two archaeologists wiped off the dust from the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance and cleaned up the gravel on the ground at the cave entrance.
With their movements, the ancient words and patterns carved on the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance were finally presented, which was much clearer than the pictures taken by beetle drones before.
As you have seen before, on the two stone walls, there are many ancient Hebrew, some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, ancient Syrian, etc.
Among them, the ancient Hebrews basically tell the stories in "Talmud", and the version of "Talmud" quoted is even more ancient.
In addition, the two stone walls are engraved with patterns of Mount Sinai and the "burning thorns", which are rich in religious colors.
The temple building carved on the wall of the cave on the left looks like the famous Second Temple.
This discovery caused a cheer in the valley and made all the Israelites excited.
"Oh my God! How could there be a pattern of the Second Temple here? Could it be that the ancestors of the Israelites have always been in contact with Jerusalem?"
"If this is really the Second Temple, it is enough to show that at least before the seventy AD, the ancestors of the Israelites lived in this valley and discovered this cave on the cliff!"
Compared to these excited Israelites, the senior officials of the Sudanese government who were present were more concerned about what treasures were hidden in this cave and how valuable they were?
After cleaning up the entrance of the cave, two archaeologists climbed into the cave and entered the deeper part of the cave.
At the same time, the lighting equipment they carried also illuminated this extremely hidden cave.
Compared to the images taken with micro beetle drones before, the area inside the cave is more than twice as large.
Entering from the entrance of the cave is an open space, which is equivalent to the front hall, and there seems to be a lot of space behind it.
It’s just that the cave is winding and blocking its view. I don’t know yet how deep and how big is this cave?
On the ground in the cave archway, there were many things piled up, stacked into a hill with dust on it.
Through some of the gaps, you can see dazzling golden lights.
It can be seen from this that under the thick dust, there must be a large amount of gold or gold products hidden.
Around the cave archway, there are many niches of different sizes on the naturally formed stone walls, with a total of more than a dozen or twenty.
There are things in each niche, mostly statues, and there seems to be some pottery and religious supplies!
In addition, there is a small altar located directly opposite the entrance of the cave, but it is empty and there is nothing on it.
On the stone wall behind this altar, there seemed to be a hexagram symbolizing Israel, with a thick layer of dust falling on it, which was not very real.
The discovery of this altar made many Israelites in the valley excited again.
Because this shows that this cave is not only a very secret treasure land, but also a small religious place that allows the Israelites who are hiding here to pray.
Everyone was shocked when they looked at the contents on the video surveillance screen.
Ye Tian was the same. While watching the video surveillance screen, he analyzed the situation here to the people around him.
"From the situation of this cave, those who hide the treasures in this cave are most likely some children around ten years old, the oldest of whom is no more than fifteen years old, or dwarfs.
Only the children's smaller and soft bodies can freely enter and exit the gap outside the cave without being stuck. Those children should be hung onto a cliff by adults and then enter the cave.
It is not even ruled out that the ancestors of the Israelites who lived here would choose a few young and flexible boys to take turns to live in the cave in every turbulent era!
In this way, there is no need to frequently go up and down this extremely steep cliff, which is relatively safer! Whenever they encounter danger, they can quickly transfer their tribe's property to this cave.
Because of this, an altar appears in this cave. In the next exploration, you may find things like stone beds, and perhaps some other tools in life!”
Listening to Ye Tian’s analysis, everyone at the scene nodded.
The subsequent exploration also confirmed his judgment.
After exploring the area at the entrance of the cave, the two archaeologists walked carefully into the cave and continued to explore.
After walking in just about three meters, they found a platform similar to a stone bed on the ground, about thirty centimeters higher than the ground and about one,560 meters long.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the valley turned to look at Ye Tian, and everyone was full of admiration.
...
Soon, it was already afternoon.
After several hours of exploration, the situation in this cave on the cliff has been basically understood.
The treasure hidden in the cave has been completed in the early exploration work, so it is time to dig and clean it up next.
Now everyone has confirmed that this unknown treasure is not the legendary Solomon treasure.
One of the supreme sacred objects of Christianity and Judaism, the Ark of the Covenant, is also not in this cave.
This means that this unknown treasure belongs to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company and the Sudanese government, which are jointly owned by both parties, accounting for 50% of the rights and interests each.
The half treasure owned by the Brave Fearless Exploration Company has been sold to the Israeli government.
The next treasure excavation and cleaning will be completed by a joint exploration team composed of the Israeli government and the Sudan government, and it has nothing to do with the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.
What Ye Tian has to do now is to stay aside to watch the show, and then choose a few top antique cultural relics and art collections from the cleaned treasures.
Of course, he gained much more than that.
The profits obtained from selling half of the treasure will soon be transferred to the bank account of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, which is definitely a terrifying fortune that makes people crazy.
Two young archaeologists who had entered the cave before exploring have come down from the cliff and returned to the bottom of the valley.
They came down with them, a five-branched golden candlestick and a bronze statue.
Replaced them was a six-person exploration team.
Three people from Israel and the Sultan each came into the cave located in the middle of the cliff and started digging and cleaning the treasure.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were sitting under a huge parasol, admiring the five golden candlesticks and a bronze head placed in front of them.
The bronze head carved is Moses, the leader of the Israelites.
The five-branched golden candlestick is one of the symbols of the Jews.
Compared with the seven-branched golden candlesticks of King Solomon discovered in Tomar and the seven-branched bronze candlesticks of King Herod found in Jerusalem, the five-branched golden candlesticks of the golden candlesticks are relatively rough.
Whether it is the manufacturing method or the engraving process, it is far inferior to the two seven-branch candlesticks.
Its status in Jewish history is incomparable to those two seven-branched candlesticks, and it can even be said to be unknown. No one knows the existence of this five-branched golden candlestick!
However, this does not prevent it from becoming a priceless antique artifact.
The same is true for the bronze statue of Moses. Although the carvings are rough and have some ancient Egyptian civilization, it is also a priceless top antique artifact!
Looking at these two top antique artifacts that were almost well preserved, all the Israelites at the scene were excited, and they all stared at these two treasures, and they couldn't even blink their eyes.
In the eyes of the Sudanese, these two top antique cultural relics radiating brightly mean a huge amount of wealth, and each of them was almost red in their eyes.
As for Ye Tian, he looked at these two top antique cultural relics with an appreciation look.
Of course, half of the value attached to these two top antique cultural relics belongs to him, and not even a little less!
While speaking, some things were transported out from the cave on the cliff, put them in a metal box, and slowly hung to the bottom of the valley.
Several exploration team members waiting at the bottom of the valley immediately stepped forward to take the metal box and then transported it to Ye Tian and the others as soon as possible.
Immediately afterwards, several representatives from the Israeli and Sudan governments walked forward to check the appearance of the metal box and the seals attached to it.
After confirming that there is no problem, open the box.
What appeared before everyone was four or five gold products, radiating dazzling light, and a small stone sculpture and a bronze statue.
Interestingly, the bronze statue and small stone sculpture, the characters they carved separately, happened to be a pair of opponents!
The bronze statue is carved with David, but this statue of David, which was handed down by the ancestors of the Israelites, is very different from the statue of David created by Michelangelo.
That small stone sculpture is a person's avatar.
The characters he carved are the legendary chief warrior of the Philistines and the giant Goliath!
According to the Bible, Goliath was the chief warrior of the Philistines and led his troops to attack the Israeli army. He had infinite power, and everyone would retreat and dare not respond when they saw him.
And the last person to defeat Goliath was the shepherd boy David.
He hit Goliath in the head with a slingshot and cut off his head. David later unified the entire Israel and became the famous King David.
This Goliath's avatar shows the situation when Goliath was cut off from her head. Her expression was painful, her eyes were full of despair and fear, and her eyes were full of tragedy!
Seeing these two ancient statues that were rivals, Ye Tian's eyes couldn't help but lit up.
He asked someone to take these two statues in front of him and appreciate them carefully.
Several other archaeologists here are also admiring these two statues and several other gold products, and everyone is extremely excited.
To be continued...
