When the daylight completely brightened, Ye Tian and the others had successfully arrived at the volcanic basin where the Golden City was located. They got off the helicopter and once again set foot on the platform halfway up the mountainside on the east side of the basin.
Jason and Anderson, as well as Professor Delgado, Hernando and others, are waiting for them on the platform.
Compared to Matisse, these guys look somewhat better, but they are also unshaven and full of vicissitudes of life.
This situation is completely normal. They have been in this barren mountain for about a month, and they have been digging and cleaning up 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 would be in such a state in such an environment!
While seeing these guys, the situation on this platform also caught Ye Tian's eyes.
At this time, nearly half of the platform was filled with various boxes, which were covered with black rainproof cloth. The space on the platform seemed a bit cramped.
The tropical rain forest next to this platform was opened up by Jason and the others into 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. They are all gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts from the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire. They are an incredibly huge amount of wealth.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others walking onto the platform with umbrellas, Jason, Professor Delgado and others immediately came up to them, and everyone's eyes shone with excitement!
After everyone met, they naturally exchanged greetings and then got down to business.
"Jason, Professor Delgado, Hernando, thank you all for your hard work, please introduce the progress of the excavation and cleanup of the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed at the volcanic basin bathed in the breeze and drizzle.
After finishing his words, Jason continued:
"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. So far, only half, or even less than half, has been completed!
The Mayan civilization ruins above the surface of the Golden City, such as the Pyramid of the Sun God and other pyramids, temples, altars, palaces and other buildings, have all been cleared out.
However, in order to prevent rainwater from pouring back, we have not excavated or cleaned up the treasures and many underground buildings buried deep underground, including the holy lake and the holy mountain.
The holy lake located in the center of Golden City is connected to an underground river and is the main drainage channel for precipitation in Golden City. If it were not for the existence of the holy lake, this place would have turned into a vast ocean.
Most of the rainwater that fell from the sky was collected into the Mayan sacred lake, and then drained outside through the underground river, so that the excavation and cleaning of the treasures of the Golden City could continue.
Because of this, we did not move the Mayan sacred lake. In fact, the sacred lake cannot be moved now. Rainwater is pouring into it continuously, and even ten water pumps cannot drain the lake.
By the way, the Mayan sacred mountains standing in the center of the sacred lake cannot be cleaned now. If you want to move them, you will probably have to wait until the rainy season is over, and then the water in the sacred lake can be drained.
In addition to the holy lake and the holy mountain, we have only cleaned up other large antique artifacts such as the five Mayan solar prophecy pillars and left them in place for the time being, and will lift them later.
We carefully excavated and cleaned up the movable treasures located on the surface of the earth, and packed them into boxes one by one, which is what you see..."
As he spoke, Jason pointed to the boxes stacked on the platform and in the open space below the stacking platform, or rather, the hills.
Next, Jason and the others introduced in detail the process of excavation and cleaning up 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 had to fight against the bad weather, this dangerous tropical rainforest, and the various creatures living in this rainforest.
As armed security personnel, Mattis and the others also have to fight with those guys who accidentally come here and covet the treasures of the Golden City to protect the treasures of the Golden City!
Fortunately, the treasures of the Golden City were intact, and no one had any accidents or serious casualties. Only a few guys were slightly injured, and they were all treated in time, and they are no longer serious!
Even so, this tropical rainforest and bad weather still tortured everyone!
Listening to Jason's introduction, Ye Tian nodded frequently and listened with great interest.
In fact, he has always known everything that happened in this volcanic basin and the progress of the treasure cleanup operation in the Golden City. Now it is just a procedure.
While they were communicating, the joint exploration team members and others who followed Ye Tian also got off several helicopters and gathered on this platform from two temporary aprons inside and outside the Golden City.
Those who had just arrived among them couldn't help but be excited when they saw this illusory golden city of the Mayan Empire that only existed in legends in the past, 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 ethereal and quite beautiful!
In the past month, the exploration team members who had been digging and cleaning up the treasures of the Golden City and soaking in the pouring rain looked at these newcomers with schadenfreude and felt a little bit finally liberated.
It didn't take long for Jason and the others to finish introducing the situation in the Golden City.
Immediately afterwards, Hierro, the Minister of Culture of Honduras who had just walked over, continued:
"Stephen, you have also seen that we have cleared out a large amount of gold and silver treasures and Mayan antiques, which are packed in boxes of various sizes. They are very large and occupy a lot of space.
It is the rainy season here, and heavy rains continue 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 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 these priceless treasures. In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, we think it is best to transport these treasures out as soon as possible.
In this way, those red-eyed guys will lose their target, the momentum of the attack will be weakened a lot, and the pressure faced by the security personnel and military police guarding the Golden City will also be reduced a lot."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"You are right, Mr. Minister, among these gold and silver treasures and antique relics from the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, there are many priceless treasures. It is really not good to let them soak in the rain like this. Appropriate.
That may bring unnecessary losses to some valuable antiques and cultural relics, attract more coveted eyes, and even make some people go crazy and take risks. This is all possible.
The reason why I came to Honduras and returned to the Golden City this time is to appraise and evaluate these Golden City treasures. Once the appraisal and evaluation are completed, we can distribute these treasures and transport them away!
As far as I know, your Honduran archaeologists, historians, antique art appraisal experts and other professionals have preliminarily identified these Golden City treasures and come up with a rough valuation! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the director of the National Museum of Honduras and several other Honduran experts and scholars who were standing not far away, and nodded to those old friends.
"Yes, Steven, when we sorted out and registered the treasures of the Golden City, our experts and scholars did make a preliminary assessment and estimated the value of these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics. .
Not only us, but also your company employees, several archaeologists from Columbia University, and representatives from UNESCO also participated in the identification and evaluation of these treasures, and even communicated 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 an agreement through negotiation, we can distribute these treasures first and wait for the remaining treasures to be sorted out."
Hernando continued and introduced the situation.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said with a smile:
"I have said before that 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 Golden City treasures 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 possible based on the current market conditions of antique art, and make allocations based on this.
Of course, you may not agree with the valuation I gave, and it may be different from the valuation given by your Honduran experts and scholars. We can sit down and discuss it, hoping to reach a consensus.
According to the previously signed treasure distribution agreement, you and I will distribute the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics one by one. You will get the gold and silver treasures, and I will take away the antique cultural relics.
As for those gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics that have different opinions and cannot reach an agreement, you can put them on hold temporarily and put them here until the treasures are completely cleaned up before processing!
Here, I can say with great confidence that no one has a better or sharper vision than me in appraising the value of antique artworks. The valuation I gave is definitely the most fair."
After hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded, including Hondurans like Hernando and Hierro.
No one has the slightest doubt about Ye Tian's words and his vision for appraising antiques and artworks. This 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 appraisal and evaluation!
