Chapter 3005 Treasure Deep in the Cliff (Please Support My New Book)

As soon as Ye Tian landed, Joshua and several archaeologists surrounded him, and everyone was full of anticipation.

"Steven, what is hidden in that rocky crevice? Is it a secret or a treasure? Or something else?"

Joshua asked eagerly, and the rest of the people were also staring at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, what is in that hidden rocky crevice? I don't know for the time being, but I saw a hole in that crevice, leading to the depths of the cliff.

In addition, I saw some traces of man-made excavation in that rock crevice, but these traces are very old, at least a thousand years old.

This is enough to show that there must be something hidden in that cave? As for what secret or treasure it is, we don't know. I believe it won't take long for us to know the answer.

The main purpose of my adventure climbing this steep cliff and climbing that anti-bow cliff this time is to make pitons in that area and prepare for the next exploration.

This task has been completed, and I have set up the pitons and safety ropes. The next exploration operation will be completed by my security personnel with rock climbing experience! "

While explaining, Ye Tian disassembled the rock climbing equipment and exploration equipment on his body.

At this moment, Peter also came down from the cliff, sweating profusely.

Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Joshua and the others could only nod, and looked up at the extremely steep cliff.

For them, it is almost impossible to climb this cliff.

In this way, they can only stay in the valley and wait for the result, very passive.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had removed all the rock climbing equipment and exploration equipment on his body, and he felt relaxed immediately.

Then he chatted with Joshua and the others, and he called Matisse and others to the side, and whispered to them:

"Guys, I've put the micro-beetle drone in that crevice and thrown a light stick in, so let's use the micro-beetle drone to explore that rocky crevice, and the crevice Inside that cave, see what you can find!

If there are really some unknown secrets or treasures hidden in that cave,

And it's worth spending a lot of time and energy here to dig them out, then let's consider the next step of exploration, cutting or blasting will not be a problem at that time! "

"Okay, Steven, leave it to us to control the beetle drone to explore, and you can just watch the surveillance video by the side!"

Mattis nodded in response, eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, an official from the Sudanese Ministry of Culture, who followed the tripartite joint exploration team and supervised the site, came over.

However, he was stopped by security personnel and was not allowed to approach.

"Mr. Steven, no matter what secrets or treasures you find on this cliff, we have the right to know the details. This is the agreement we reached before!"

The Sudanese Ministry of Culture official said loudly, with some dissatisfaction in his words.

Ye Tian turned to look at this person, and then signaled to his security personnel to let him come over.

The security personnel who stopped the Sudanese Ministry of Culture official stepped aside immediately.

When this man came close, Ye Tian shook hands with him first, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Amir, in fact, you don't have to worry. We will never breach the contract, nor will we hide anything from you. In this regard, our company has always had a good reputation.

I didn't find anything in the very hidden gap in the middle of the cliff, there is a cave in that gap, I don't know if there is anything hidden in it,..."

Next, Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation in that gap, as well as the follow-up exploration actions.

The eyes of this Sudanese government official named Amir suddenly lit up, shining brightly, and there was a bit of greed in his eyes.

After Ye Tian finished his introduction, Amir fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.

After a while, the Sudanese official nodded and said:

"Okay, Mr. Steven, just follow your plan and continue to explore. I'm here to supervise the scene, and I hope to get a good surprise!"

Ye Tian nodded, and then said to Mathis:

"Let's get started, let's see what secrets or treasures are hidden in the depths of this cliff, and hope to find something!"

Mattis nodded, and immediately began to act.

At this point, it was already afternoon.

The sun had passed over the valley, to the west.

As the sun turned to the west, a large shadow was formed under the cliff with a height of more than 100 meters, which provided some shade for everyone.

Most of the members of the tripartite joint exploration team have moved here to stay under this cliff.

Ye Tian looked at the situation here, then took a folding chair and sat down on the spot, took the iPad handed over by his staff, and began to check the video signal sent back by the beetle drone.

The first thing that appeared on the monitoring screen was the rock gap in the middle of the cliff, and the fluorescent lighting stick that Ye Tian threw into the gap, nothing else.

The next moment, the miniature beetle drone flew up, and after rising to a height of about forty centimeters, it began to fly inward.

After flying sixty or seventy centimeters in, the tiny beetle drone came to the hole deep in the gap.

This hole is not big, close to a circle, slightly irregular, about 70 centimeters in diameter, and can accommodate an adult to enter and exit.

Of course, the premise is that the adult can climb into the rock crevice.

Around this hole, some traces of artificial excavation can be seen, mainly to knock out some protruding stones to facilitate entry and exit.

It's just that these traces have been very long ago, and they look similar to those formed naturally.

Seeing this, Ye Tian explained to the people around him:

"As far as I can tell, the man-made excavation marks at the entrance of this cave have a history of at least a thousand years. To be precise, they should be traces left over 1,500 years ago.

If the history of this valley is credible, then it is certain that the people who left these traces are the Israelites who once lived here, but they don’t know what they are hiding in this cave? "

Hearing this, Joshua and several Israeli archaeologists immediately became more excited.

And so were the other archaeologists, all excited.

To be able to discover a historical site that has existed for more than 1,500 years, even if there is nothing in this cave, is something to celebrate!

As for the Sudanese Ministry of Culture official, he is more concerned about what secrets or treasures are hidden in this cave. If it is an amazing treasure, it would be great!

The miniature beetle drone continued to fly in, and really entered the hidden cave.

The next moment, an Israeli archaeologist suddenly said excitedly:

"Look quickly, on the stone wall on the right side of the cave entrance, there seem to be several ancient Hebrew characters carved on it, and there is also a stone carving pattern"

Before the voice fell, everyone had already seen the words and patterns.

Because the age is too long, those characters and patterns are a bit blurred, and they can't be seen clearly.

Moreover, due to long-term exposure to the outside, the weathering situation is relatively serious, and it is covered with a layer of dust.

"Charlie, let the drone fly closer and see what those words and patterns mean"

"Okay, Steven"

Charlie nodded in response.

The next moment, the miniature beetle drone flew to the right side of the stone wall and took close-up pictures of the words and patterns.

Several Israeli archaeologists, as well as historians and archaeologists from Harvard University and Columbia University, all leaned forward, staring at the words on the surveillance screen, trying to identify them.

Moments later, a Harvard University archaeologist suddenly said excitedly:

"That's right, these words are ancient Hebrew, which seems to be derived from the Talmud. In the "Talmud", I seem to have seen this text, but it is specious.

As far as I remember, this text tells a story about Moses when she was herding sheep in the Sinai Peninsula, but here it is different, and these texts may come from an older version of the "Talmud""

As he spoke, the archaeologist recited the story.

Unsurprisingly, at his words, the irritating Joshua and the others almost cheered, shaking their fists vigorously one by one to show their celebration!

An older version of the Talmud! What this means, Joshua and the others couldn't be more clear.

This is not the end!

Immediately afterwards, another Israeli archaeologist said excitedly:

"Look at the pattern engraved on the wall, does it look like the 'burning bush', the place where the prophet Moses was called and met God for the first time!"

Following his words, everyone looked at the pattern engraved on the stone wall.

"That's right! This is the 'burning thorn'. Although the pattern is very blurred, the outline is correct!"

"Look at the lines behind this pattern, don't they look a bit like Mount Sinai?"

Now there was a sound of exclamation, and it was boiling instantly.

The ancient "Talmud" story, the burning bush, and the majestic and sacred Mount Sinai.

All of this combined immediately makes everyone think of the same thing.

"Could it be that the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant are really hidden here?"

"If the Ark of the Covenant is hidden here, how did it come in? The cave entrance and the rocky gap outside are not enough for the Ark to pass through safely."

Thinking of this, everyone felt very confused again.

At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, the exploration has just begun. Whether the legendary Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are hidden in this cave, we will know soon, don't worry!"

With that said, he nodded to Charlie.

The next moment, the miniature beetle drone flew away from this cave wall and flew to the cave wall on the other side of the cave entrance.

On the other side of the cave wall, there are also several ancient Hebrew characters that seem to be derived from the "Talmud", as well as a pattern similar to temple architecture.

These characters and patterns are very blurred, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

Even so, their discovery has everyone excited.

After exploring the situation on both sides of the cave, the miniature beetle drone flew into the cave and continued to explore further.

Flying in about half a meter, the cave suddenly opened up and expanded a lot.

Just looking in from the entrance of the cave, the place where the light emitted by the lighting sticks can reach is about ten or twenty square meters.

Extending further in, there is darkness, and nothing can be seen!

In the center of the cave facing the entrance of the cave, there seemed to be a lot of things piled up, forming a hill about 1.56 meters high.

Because the age is too long, these things are covered with a thick layer of dust, and it is not clear what they are for a while.

However, from some gaps, there seems to be a trace of golden light, which looks like a large piece of gold or a gold product.

In addition, on the four walls of this cave, there are some niches, large or small!

The large niche is no more than 50 centimeters high, and the small one is only 20 to 30 centimeters high. There seems to be a statue in each niche.

Whether these statues are stone carvings or gold statues is temporarily unknown.

But what is certain is that they are all valuable antique relics, and each one is very rare!

After exploring here, everyone already understands.

This is definitely a huge treasure that has never been known, and there may be a big secret hidden in it!

As for how much this treasure is worth, whether it is related to the legendary Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, or even Solomon's treasure, it is temporarily unknown!

Only by sending people into this cave can we know the answers to these questions!

But one thing is certain, the person who hid this huge treasure is likely to be the ancestors of the Israelites who once lived in this valley.

Because the living environment here is very harsh, surrounded by enemies, there is always the danger of encountering enemy attacks!

In order to ensure the safety of the property of the tribe or village, and avoid fleeing the valley in a hurry when being attacked by the enemy, but cannot take all the property away, the enemy who was cheap for nothing was looted by the enemy.

In view of this, the ancestors of the Israelites who lived here hid all their family properties in this extremely hidden cave, leaving only some short-term turnover in their hands.

In this way, even if they are attacked and forced to withdraw from the valley, they don't have to worry about being looted.

As long as they can return to this valley afterwards, with the large amount of property hidden in this cave, they can quickly recover!

Another possibility is that this is the wealth left by the ancestors of the Israelites who once lived in this valley when they went south to Ethiopia from here.

After the Arabs occupied Sudan, as pagans, the ancestors of the Israelites had no place to stand in Sudan, so they could only flee south to Ethiopia!

They were worried that the future was uncertain, so they left themselves a way out!

Before leaving the valley, they stored all the very conspicuous items that could even bring disasters to the clansmen, and items that could not be taken away, in this primitive safe!

What they think is that if they can't live in Ethiopia and have nowhere to go, the tribe can return here and rely on these hidden wealth to continue living in this valley.

But what they didn't expect was that this trip to Ethiopia was gone forever.

They never returned to Sudan, never to this valley.

All the belongings hidden in this cave have lost their owners and become ownerless!

Of course, there is another possibility, this is the legendary treasure of Solomon!

The scene became quiet, only the sound of heavy breathing, either urgent or slow!

Especially the official of the Sudanese Ministry of Culture, his eyes turned red in an instant, shining golden light!

Ye Tian was still the first to wake up.

He scanned the scene quickly, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, it seems that we have received a huge surprise. Our adventure just now is still very worthwhile. Obviously, this is a treasure of amazing value!"

Before the words fell, the scene had already exploded.

"I didn't expect there to be a treasure here, it's incredible!"

"Could this be the legendary treasure of Solomon? Could the Ark of the Covenant be in this cave?"
