"My God! The statue of the former three-headed alliance, I can't be dazzled, can I? This is simply incredible!"
"The underground secret room built by the Roman consul Gaius Marius contains the statues of the former three allies. How is this possible? Is my mind a little confused, or is time and space disordered?"
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, one after another.
Without exception, everyone here was completely shocked by everything in front of them, and by what Ye Tian said just now, their eyes widened, and their eyeballs almost flew out.
Before the exclamation fell, Ye Tian smiled again and said:
"As far as I can judge, this underground secret passage and this secret room located deep underground were built between 86 BC and 100 BC, and the person who built them was the Roman consul Gaius Ma slightly.
During that period, Marius became the consul of Rome seven times. Why did he build this secret underground chamber? It is not difficult to explain that Rome was turbulent at that time, and even Marius fled Rome several times.
For his own safety, or to hide inconvenient belongings and other things, Marius ordered people to build this secret and extremely strong underground chamber, and the wine cellar above was built to hide people's eyes and ears.
There is also a possibility that around 86 BC, the building above this secret room may have been a secret residence of Marius. Given his status and the situation at that time, the Three Caves of the Rabbit was nothing more than normal!
You can take a look at the ancient Latin engraved on this stone door, in which there is the name of Gaius Marius, but I don’t know the other characters, but I believe that these ancient Latin words must explain the origin of this secret room "
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the ancient Latin characters engraved on the stone gate.
Following the direction of his fingers, the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni all looked at those ancient Latin words, their eyes shining brightly with excitement!
In just a moment, the answer came out.
"That's right, Steven, the ancient Latin engraved on this stone door describes the life and deeds of Gaius Marius until 90 B.C. Roman consul.
It can be seen that this underground secret room should be built around 90 BC, and it was built by Marius. Moreover, these texts focus on the battle of Hektilius Hot Spring and Vercelli.
Those two famous battles that defeated the Germanic attack and saved Rome were the most proud heroic deeds of Gaius Marius in his life, and it was those two battles that made Marius ascend to the pinnacle of power in Rome."
The bishop of Kent explained the meaning of the ancient Latin words on the stone gate, his excited voice trembling slightly.
Not only him, except for Ye Tian and Walker, everyone else at the scene was counted as one. They were all very excited at this moment, staring at the patterns and words on the stone gate, wishing they could engrave them in their minds.
Each of them is very clear about the meaning of these stone murals and ancient Latin in front of them. Their discovery and appearance will definitely cause a sensation in the whole of Italy and even the whole western world!
As soon as Bishop Kent's words fell, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"It seems that we can name this underground secret room, 'Gaius Mario's secret room', this name sounds very good, and it is very relevant, it is it!
But the treasure hidden in this secret room cannot be called the "treasure of Gaius Marius". The person who hid the statue of the "former triumvirate" here is obviously not Marius!
If that's the case, then time and space are really messed up! According to my inference, after Marius died of illness, he probably passed on the building above this secret room to his nephew, Caesar!
Caesar may have known the existence of this underground secret room, but he may not have known it. He later gave or rewarded the buildings on the ground to his generals.
The Roman general who got the building,
After staying here, I quickly discovered this secret underground chamber and used it to hide things.
After Caesar was assassinated to death, the ancient Roman general completely sealed the underground passage in order to avoid being purged by hostile forces, and then fled Rome.
Before sealing this secret passage, he hid his collection of the first three-headed alliance statue and other things, even some Caesar's relics, here!
Later, for unknown reasons, the ancient Roman general did not open it again, dig out the hidden statues and other items, and let them be buried until now.
There is also such a possibility that the ancient Roman general unfortunately died in the hands of the enemy when he escaped from Rome, or after he escaped from Rome, and no one knew the secret!
Of course, this is all my personal inference, whether it is accurate or not, I believe we will be able to find the answer and solve this mystery when we enter this ancient secret room."
Following Ye Tian's words, the scene was already boiling again.
Especially when everyone heard that the relics of Julius Caesar might be hidden here, everyone felt like being shocked by an electric shock, trembling slightly with excitement.
Without exception, these guys were all staring at the secret room inside the stone gate, wishing they could rush in directly to see what treasures were hidden inside, and whether there were any relics of Emperor Caesar.
Especially Giovanni and the director of the National Museum of Rome, the eyeballs of these two Italians are already red, so red that they are about to bleed!
"Caesar's subordinate? Who could it be? Could it be Mark Anthony? When Caesar was assassinated in the Senate, he was in Rome. He escaped from Rome disguised as a slave."
The curator of the National Museum of Rome muttered to himself, almost insane.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded, and then all looked at Ye Tian to see his reaction.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"That's right, the person who once lived here, sealed the secret passage directly after Caesar was assassinated, and hid the statue of the former three-headed alliance and other things, is most likely Mark Anthony.
Mark Antony is a strong supporter of Caesar and regards Caesar as an idol. He has served as Caesar's cavalry commander and ruling assistant for a long time, and he is indeed the most likely to receive this house from Caesar.
Of course, there may be other people who do these things. You must know that Mark Anthony is not the only one of Caesar's powerful generals, and he may also give this place to others! "
Before the words fell, Giovanni continued to say:
"Yes, it is indeed possible that it was someone else. After Mark Anthony escaped from Rome disguised as a slave, he returned to Rome not long after. If it was him, why didn't he dig this secret passage and get out the buried treasure thing?"
Regarding Giovanni's analysis, everyone felt that there was some truth to it, and they all nodded.
After discussing a few more words, the curator of the National Museum of Rome said expectantly:
"Steven, this underground chamber and the things hidden in it are too important, their discovery will definitely cause a huge sensation, and may even rewrite the partial history of ancient Rome.
For the sake of prudence, I hope you will allow the professional archaeologists of our museum to participate in the follow-up exploration operations, and together with you, we will jointly uncover these important secrets that have been hidden for more than two thousand years."
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and said firmly:
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Antonio, this is my private property. I don't intend to let other archaeologists participate in this exploration operation, including your archaeologists from the National Roman Museum. I know they are very professional.
As you can see, although I opened this stone door, I did not enter it. There is not even a single footprint in the secret room inside. The reason why we do this is to keep it as open and transparent as possible. You can rest assured about this.
In fact, the area of this secret room is not large, and there are not many hidden things. Too many archaeologists can't stand up, but get in the way. If there are too many people in the secret room, accidents may happen.
Next, I will lead you into this secret room and uncover these secrets that have been hidden for more than two thousand years one by one. I believe that with my experience and the staff under me, we can handle everything well."
After the words fell, Antonio and Giovanni immediately looked at each other, and then fell silent.
However, what can they do, they can only choose to nod and accept.
After expressing his attitude, Ye Tian said to everyone present:
"Gentlemen, please follow me into this ancient secret room. For the sake of safety, you must not act without authorization during the operation. You must obey my command, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"Understood, Steven, let's get started!"
Everyone at the scene responded in unison, everyone can't wait!
