When the daylight was completely bright, Ye Tian and the others had successfully arrived at the volcanic basin where the Golden City was located, got off the helicopter, and once again set foot on the platform on the mountainside on the east side of the basin.
Jason and Anderson, as well as Professor Delgado and Hernando, were waiting for them on the platform.
Compared with Matisse, the images of these guys look somewhat better, but they are also unshaven and full of vicissitudes.
This situation couldn't be more normal. They have been in this barren mountain for about a month, and they have been digging and clearing the treasures of the Golden City in the pouring rain all day long. How can their image be better!
Not only them, but anyone else, in such an environment, is also in such a state!
While seeing these guys, the situation on this platform also came into Ye Tian's eyes.
At this time, nearly half of the platform was filled with various boxes, covered with black rainproof cloth, and the space on the platform seemed a bit cramped.
The tropical rainforest next to this platform was opened up by Jason and the others to a large open space. The open space was also filled with boxes of various sizes, stacked into hills.
It goes without saying what is contained in those boxes, all of them are gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics from the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, which is an incomparably amazing wealth.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others walk up to the platform under umbrellas, Jason, Professor Delgado and others immediately greeted them, and everyone's eyes lit up with excitement!
After everyone met, it was natural to exchange pleasantries before getting into the main topic.
"Jason, Professor Delgado, Hernando, thank you for your hard work, let me introduce the progress of the excavation and cleanup of the treasures of the Mayan Empire's Golden City!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed to the volcanic basin bathed in the breeze and drizzle.
After the words fell, Jason continued to say:
"Steven, due to the continuous heavy rain, the excavation and cleaning of the treasures of the Mayan Empire's Golden City has been greatly affected, and so far it is only half completed, or even less than half!
The ruins of the Mayan civilization above the surface in the Golden City, such as the Pyramid of the Sun God and other buildings such as pyramids, temples, altars, and palaces,
It's all been cleaned up.
However, in order to prevent rainwater from pouring back, we have not excavated and cleaned up the treasures buried deep underground, as well as many underground buildings, including the holy lake and the holy mountain.
The holy lake located in the center of the Golden City is connected to an underground river, which is the main drainage channel for precipitation in the Golden City. If it weren't for the existence of the holy lake, this place would have already become a vast ocean.
Most of the rainwater that fell from the sky collected into the holy Mayan lake, and then drained outside through the underground river, so that the excavation and cleaning of the treasures of the Golden City continued.
Because of this, we did not touch the holy Mayan lake. In fact, the holy lake cannot be moved now. The rainwater pours into it continuously, and even ten water pumps cannot drain the lake.
By the way, the Mayan holy mountain standing in the middle of the holy lake can't be cleaned up now. If you want to move them, you probably have to wait until the rainy season is over, and then the water in the holy lake can be drained.
In addition to the holy lake and the holy mountain, we just cleaned up other large-scale antique cultural relics such as the five Mayan solar-period prophecy columns, and put them in place for the time being, and they will be lifted later.
We have carefully excavated and cleaned up the treasures that are above the surface and can be moved, and packed them into boxes one by one, as you can see..."
As he spoke, Jason pointed to the boxes stacked on the platform and the open space below the platform, or rather, the hills.
Next, Jason and the others introduced in detail the process of excavating and clearing the treasures of the Golden City, as well as other things that happened in this volcanic basin.
In the past few weeks, they not only had to clean up the treasures of the Golden City, but also fought against bad weather, this perilous tropical rainforest, and various creatures living in this rainforest.
And Mattis, who are armed security personnel, have to fight with those guys who come here occasionally and covet the treasures of the Golden City to protect the treasures of the Golden City!
Fortunately, the treasure in the Golden City was intact, and no one had any accidents or major casualties. Only a few guys suffered minor injuries, and they were dealt with in time, and nothing serious happened!
Even so, this tropical rainforest and bad weather still tortured everyone enough!
Listening to Jason's introduction, Ye Tian nodded frequently and listened with gusto.
In fact, he has always been aware of everything that happened in this volcanic basin and the progress of the treasure cleanup operation in the Golden City, and now it is just a procedure.
While the few of them were communicating, the joint exploration team members and others who followed Ye Tian also got off several helicopters and gathered on this platform from the two temporary parking pads inside and outside the Golden City.
Among them, those guys who have just arrived, seeing this illusory golden city of the Mayan Empire that only existed in legends in the past, couldn't help being very excited, and even cheered directly.
Coupled with the drizzle now, the entire Golden City of the Mayan Empire is shrouded in rain and fog. It really looks a bit illusory, quite beautiful!
For the past month, the explorers who have been digging and clearing the treasures of the Golden City and soaking in the pouring rain gloated at these newcomers, feeling a little liberated at last.
It didn't take long for Jason and the others to introduce the situation in the Golden City.
Immediately afterwards, Hierro, the Minister of Culture of Honduras who had just walked over, continued to say:
"Steven, you have also seen that everyone has cleared out a large number of gold and silver treasures and Mayan antiques, and they are packed in those large and small boxes. There are a lot of them and they take up a lot of space.
It is the rainy season here now, and the heavy rain continues all day long. It is not a problem to let these priceless treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire soak in the rain all day long, and it may cause some unnecessary losses.
Also, as these gold and silver treasures and Mayan antiques were cleared out, those guys who came for the treasures of the Golden City, and even the governments of El Salvador and Guatemala, became even crazier!
They all want to rush into this volcanic basin and loot all these priceless and huge treasures. In order to avoid nights and dreams, we think it is best to transfer these treasures out as soon as possible.
In this way, those red-eyed guys will lose their target, and the momentum of the attack will definitely be weakened a lot, and the pressure on the security personnel and military police guarding the Golden City will also be reduced a lot."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately nodded with a smile and said:
"You are right, Mr. Minister, among the gold and silver treasures and antique relics from the treasures of the Mayan Empire's Golden City, there are many priceless treasures, and it is indeed not appropriate to let them soak in the rain like this.
That may bring unnecessary losses to some valuable antique cultural relics, attract more coveted eyes, and even make some people crazy about it, and then take risks. This is all possible.
The reason why I came to Honduras this time and returned to the Golden City again was to appraise and evaluate the treasures of the Golden City. After the appraisal and evaluation are completed, we can allocate these treasures and transport them away!
As far as I know, your Honduras archaeologists, historians, experts in the identification of antique works of art and some other professionals have initially identified these treasures of the Golden City, and have come up with a rough estimate! "
As he spoke, he looked at the director of the National Museum of Honduras standing not far away, as well as several other Honduras experts and scholars, and nodded to those old friends.
"That's right, Steven, when the treasures of the Golden City were cleared out and registered, our experts and scholars did make a preliminary assessment, estimating the value of these gold and silver treasures and antique relics.
Not only us, your company employees, several archaeologists from Columbia University, and representatives of UNESCO also participated in the identification and evaluation of these treasures, and exchanged ideas with each other!
Now we are waiting for you to appraise and evaluate this batch of treasures. After you have completed the appraisal and we have reached a consensus through negotiation, we can distribute this batch of treasures first, and wait for the rest of the treasures to be cleaned up."
Hernando continued and introduced the situation.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
"As I said before, my time in Honduras is quite limited this time, and I cannot stay here for a long time. Later, we will start to appraise these treasures of the Golden City to see how much they are worth.
For this batch of cleared gold and silver treasures and Mayan antiques, I will give the most accurate valuation as much as possible based on the current market conditions of the antique art market, and distribute them on this basis.
Of course, you may not agree with the valuation I gave, and it may be different from the valuation given by your Honduras experts and scholars. We can sit down and discuss it, hoping to reach a consensus.
The gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics that have reached a consensus will be distributed one by one according to the previously signed treasure distribution agreement. You get the gold and silver treasures, and I will take the antique cultural relics.
As for those gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics that have different opinions and cannot reach a consensus, they can be put aside temporarily and put them here, and then deal with them after the treasures are completely cleaned up!
Here, I can say with great confidence that no one has a better and sharper vision than mine in appraising the value of antique works of art, and the valuation I give is definitely the most fair.”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded, including Hondurans like Hernando and Hierro.
Everyone has no doubts about Ye Tian's words and his vision for appraising antique works of art, which has been proven countless times!
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few more words, and then walked towards the secret passage behind the platform to prepare for the next identification and evaluation!
