Chapter 2491 Statue From the Golden City
Hearing the sound of metal and iron clanging, Ye Tian immediately withdrew the jungle machete, and looked at the neck of the sculpture with pretended curiosity.
The same goes for everyone else at the scene, they looked over one after another, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
At the neck of this humanoid sculpture, there was a gap about two or three centimeters deep, and a bright golden light radiated from the gap.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help being stunned, each one dumbfounded.
"I'm going! That's gold. Could it be that this humanoid sculpture is made of gold? If this is really a gold sculpture, then there is no doubt that this thing must be priceless!"
The boy Jason exclaimed directly, with an exaggerated expression.
With his exclamation, the rest of the people were awakened immediately, and the scene immediately boiled.
"My God! This is actually a golden statue. How much gold does it cost to cast such a huge statue? It's incredible!"
"I don't know what this statue is carved on, if it has Mayan hieroglyphs engraved on it, or what other secrets are hidden? But in any case, this golden statue alone is a priceless treasure!"
Amidst a burst of exclamation, everyone had an incredible expression, and everyone was extremely excited.
Especially Hernando and the other two Hondurans were ecstatic, their faces flushed with excitement, and they were about to dance.
Even their eyeballs turned golden at this time, and there was a bit of greed in the depths of their eyes.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, it seems that my luck has been very good, and this may be a surprising and important discovery. I hope that this statue is all cast in gold, and it is a real priceless treasure.
According to my estimation, this humanoid sculpture may be related to the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, and may even reveal some secrets of the Mayan Empire. I hope this statue is engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs or patterns.
Of course, this is just a good wish, and I hope it can be realized. Next, I will remove all the vines on this statue, as well as the moss attached to it, etc., so that it can be completely restored to its original appearance."
With that said, Ye Tian raised the jungle machete in his hand again, ready to chop off the remaining vines on the statue.
Seeing his movements, Hernando, Professor Delgado, the UNESCO observer, and several others became anxious immediately.
Without discussion, these guys said in unison:
"Steven, be careful, don't cut this golden sculpture again, this is a priceless top antique cultural relic, any damage is irreparable!"
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then nodded confidently and said:
"Although rest assured, gentlemen, I have a measure in my hands and will never harm this golden statue again"
As he said that, he swung the extremely sharp jungle machete in his hand, and chopped at another dark gray vine wrapped around the statue.
"swish"
Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, the vine was cut off in an instant, directly breaking in two.
There was only a shallow knife mark left on the chest of the statue where it was located, and the statue below was not injured at all.
"call--!"
Both Elnardo and Professor Delgado let out a long breath, and the heart hanging high in their throats was finally put back into their stomachs.
Soon, another five or six minutes passed.
Ye Tian used a jungle machete to cut off all the vines that wrapped around and covered this humanoid statue, took them off, and threw them away.
The moss, other small animals, and flowers and plants covering the statue have also been almost cleaned up.
With the coverings removed, the giant statue finally revealed its true face and was presented to everyone.
As everyone expected, this is a humanoid sculpture made entirely of gold, radiating bright light, making everyone's eyes a little dizzy, and the eyeballs are almost turning golden.
Fortunately, this place is deep in the rainforest, with very little sunlight coming in, and the light is dim. If this sculpture is placed in the sun, the golden light it emits is enough to make everyone unable to open their eyes.
In addition to the whole body of gold, some parts of this humanoid sculpture, such as the feather crown, neck, and chest, are dotted with many gemstones, large or small, and each gemstone is very valuable.
It's just that because of the age, those gemstones have lost their luster and become smeared, and they need to be treated with professional techniques to regain their brilliance.
What this humanoid statue is carved is an old Mayan priest standing on the hill, raising his head slightly, looking up at the towering peaks in the distance.
The carving technique of this statue is relatively simple. Apart from the vivid head and face, the torso below the shoulders is a straight tube. Only a few lines are used to outline the arms and legs. It looks like a figurine!
In addition, on the head of the Mayan priest, there is a feather crown, and an eye-shaped emerald is inlaid directly in front of the feather crown, which looks somewhat weird.
Other parts of the feather crown are also inlaid with many precious stones, mainly rubies and emeralds, as well as some obsidian and emeralds, as well as sapphires and so on.
It can be imagined how gorgeous, bright and dazzling this feather crown used to be. Although it looks like it is no longer beautiful now, as long as it is carefully handled, it will definitely emit extremely bright light.
In addition to these, many Mayan hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns and decorations are engraved on this Mayan priest statue, including hunting patterns, sacrificial patterns, and some patterns with unknown meanings.
Many of these Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns are discovered for the first time and are of great research value. Behind these hieroglyphs and patterns, there may be hidden important secrets about Mayan civilization!
In particular, a pyramid pattern engraved on the Mayan priest's chest radiates bright light, and a huge ruby is inlaid on the top of the pyramid, which is extremely eye-catching.
Looking at this shining golden statue of Mayan priest, everyone on the scene was completely dumbfounded. They were all stunned, and they froze in place, their eyes full of madness and fascination.
The scene was completely silent, only the chirping of birds came from around, and the sound of heavy breathing, and there was no other sound.
After a long time, Ye Tian's clear voice just came out, breaking the tranquility.
"Gentlemen, everyone can wake up, our time is limited, we can't stay here for a long time, everyone can appreciate and study this golden statue, and then we will set off again"
Following Ye Tian's words, the obsessed guys at the scene were awakened immediately.
The next moment, the rain forest was completely boiling.
"Oh my god! What the hell did I see? This is simply too spectacular. There is no doubt that this is definitely a great discovery that is enough to cause a sensation in the world!"
"This is actually a statue made of pure gold. It's so extravagant and unbelievable! How much gold it costs! Just from this point of view, the legend of the Mayan Empire's Golden City is probably true!"
Amidst the exclamation one after another, these guys who had just woken up but had fallen into madness immediately rushed forward like a tide, and began to check and admire the shining golden Mayan priest statue.
Those who rushed to the forefront were Professor Delgado, the UNESCO observer, and Hernando, and the others were one step behind.
However, everyone on the scene behaved the same way, everyone's eyeballs had turned golden, and their eyes were full of madness.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and stepped aside to avoid being bumped by them.
When Hernando passed by him, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed Hernando's arm, and said to the guy:
"Hernando, come with me, I have something to discuss with you, about this golden statue"
However, Hernando shook off his hand and said without thinking:
"No matter what you want to say, Steven, please wait a while. Let me first appreciate this golden statue. It is simply too beautiful and magnificent. It is a great miracle!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian could only nod helplessly and said:
"Okay then, you guys appreciate this golden statue first, let's talk later"
While talking, these crazy guys have surrounded this shining golden statue, admiring it fascinatedly.
In just a moment, Professor Delgado suddenly said excitedly:
"Steven, this golden statue is indeed related to the Golden City. The pyramid on the chest of the statue is probably the main pyramid of the Golden City. The hieroglyphs of the Golden City are engraved on the base of this pyramid."
Following Professor Delgado's words, the scene immediately exploded!
