Chapter 203 Ancient Ruins
A few people searched nearby, and soon found a blocked passage. The ancient Israelis may have completely sealed the opening of the hole. Now from the surface, it looks like an ordinary pit, overgrown with weeds, and there are still A tree has grown.
Heather picked up the chainsaw and started chopping down the tree.
The posture of her holding the chainsaw frightened the four U.S. troops, including Sam, a bit fierce!
Sam continued to play his family's stunt. A shovel flew up and down, and with the explosives that Sam and the others brought, the eight fought for three days and finally cleared a downward passage.
Throwing down the light stick, I found that the depth of the vertical downward is almost twenty meters deep, and the space below is extremely wide.
Several people are now similar to the mud monkeys. Bella's white sportswear has completely turned gray, and she looks particularly embarrassed.
"Am I going ahead?" Barbara asked.
"Okay." Bella knew that Barbara was not for merit, but was worried about safety issues.
She didn't perceive any threat of death. She searched the vicinity twice with psionic energy, but didn't see any breath of life, so she nodded in agreement.
Barbara and Sam were tied with ropes and descended little by little. The two quickly descended to the ground and began to search around. It took 30 minutes before the sound of safety came from below.
Several people went down in batches to the hidden hall below.
"It's bigger than expected..." Sam raised his flashlight and kept looking around.
The 20-meter-high hall, huge and rough stone pillars, similar to the dome of the later church, here should be a natural underground cave, and then it was modified by hand, but it was limited by the level of technology at that time. Still very crude, even so, the historical value of the site exceeded Bella's previous estimates.
"God! It's so cold here!" An American soldier shrank his neck, and the others had similar thoughts.
This hidden site was surprisingly cold, and gusts of cool wind blew by, as if it could freeze their bones.
However, it is precisely because of the low temperature environment that the various furnishings here are still well preserved.
The utensils used by the ancients, the linen clothes, the stone spears, the original tools, have long since decayed, but there are still some traces of the slings of the past.
They walked in along the passage for more than ten minutes, and stopped at the mouth of a small cave.
They found three corpses directly in front of the entrance of the cave. The bodies had long been frozen into ice cubes by the cold and low temperature in the site. They faced the entrance of the cave and knelt on the ground.
Even Bella, who has the most archaeological knowledge, dare not touch it, who knows if it will fall apart if you touch it!
"Get out! Don't disrupt the scene, the carbon dioxide will upset the balance here, we're all out."
As the most professional archaeologist and team leader at the site, no one would disobey Bella's orders, including herself, the eight people returned the same way and left the underground site.
Her lack of preparation, let alone the Jordanian iron book, just the caves and the three corpses discovered before are of great scientific value, which are almost equivalent to the historical positioning of the Iceman of Oz, both of which require a large number of people to protect and excavate arduous work.
More is bullshit.
The area below my feet is definitely Jordanian territory. There is no dispute, but the things excavated are obviously from ancient Israelis. The question is, who should these things be?
Bella called China and asked several old Stanford professors who were friendly to her. She wanted to know Stanford's position on this matter.
After confirming that she was not on drugs and had no hallucinations, the old professors said that there is no need to argue, it is something of the United States! If it is placed in Israel, it will be destroyed by extremist groups, let alone Jordan, so we must protect them.
This is definitely bandit logic, but Bella doesn't care about it.
She came to do archaeology, not to act as a chivalrous person and uphold justice.
The United States has an economic aid plan for Jordan, not to mention Israel. Most of the high-level Israelis also want to take the opportunity to please the American father and ask for more aid materials and weapons.
As long as Bella's name appears in various newspapers, magazines and online media, it is enough to prove that she dug up these things and make her name known to everyone. Then ordinary citizens will click on the search engine and find her photos. , a look 'Wow, this woman is so beautiful! ' Her purpose has been achieved!
But if you completely erased her name and replaced it with a young handsome man who appeared out of nowhere, she would also turn the table, whether it was a civilized method or an uncivilized method, she would follow.
Stanford has a lot of energy. It took less than two hours for the call to be made. A team of US troops deployed in Jordan, a total of 12 soldiers, rushed to the scene in full armor.
There was also an official from the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The other party's face was not very good. A group of Yankees went to their house to dig for archaeology. Now those high-level shit-eating high-level officials have asked him to assist?
Everyone blocked the secret passage, waiting for scholars from various countries to come to support.
Of course Bella would not be so honest. It was too easy to hide from everyone by her means. For fear of missing any magic props and artifacts, she secretly checked the inside.
The famous Jordanian iron book is only the size of a palm. It looks like a booklet. It is said to be an iron book. In fact, the main ingredient is lead. The head of a young man, with a beard and a crown of thorns, Bella glanced at it, but she didn't feel anything miraculous, and she wasn't sure if this was the oldest Jesus statue.
There isn't any supernatural energy reaction at the scene, except for one thing...
Everyone outside the camp has fallen asleep, except for the two US troops who are still vigilant, and the surroundings are quiet at this time.
Bella pondered with the brass key in her hand, what is this? Open what door?
She felt a little magic reaction on the key, it was very shallow and had no special effect.
How to use it, and which door to open, she couldn't tell.
What I didn't say, I summoned back to the secret base of my angel team and asked Xiao to help me put it away. It was really conspicuous to carry such a bright thing on my body.
The next afternoon, more than a dozen old professors rushed to the Sea of Galilee from all over the world. They didn't have Bella's fighting power and needed to wait for the army to clear the field.
The nearby armed groups that do not belong to the East Bank of the Jordan River, the West Bank of the Jordan River, or the Jordan River also noticed the abnormality in this area. They also wanted to collect tolls, but this time the US military refused. The exchange of fire between the two sides was extremely fierce. Even the Golan Heights, which is not far away, became turbulent.
