This is the most famous monastery in the Western world and one of the oldest monasteries. It is located at the foot of Mount Sinai. Because of its long history, it looks simple and vicissitudes of life.
Said to be at the foot of Mount Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery is actually 1,570 meters above sea level. It is backed by Mount Sinai, which is regarded as a holy mountain by the three major religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
When the three-party joint exploration team arrived at St. Catherine's Monastery, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the east. This ancient monastery and Mount Sinai behind it were bathed in the morning light.
When the joint exploration convoy drove along the road, Ye Tian saw this ancient Byzantine-style monastery from a long distance away, and also saw many believers and tourists setting off from the monastery to climb Mount Sinai.
Climbing up St. Catherine's Monastery to the top of Mount Sinai, many believers and tourists from all over the world are queuing up to climb this holy mountain of the three religions.
Due to the different climbing routes people take and the headlamps everyone wears on their heads, two long dragons radiating dazzling light appeared on this holy mountain of the three religions, winding and stretching from the foot of the mountain to Mountain top.
In the larger and more tortuous light dragon, there seemed to be melodious camel bells coming from time to time, which was pleasant to the ear.
Some people who come to Mount Sinai want to climb to the top of Mount Sinai to watch the spectacular sunrise, but do not want to climb up step by step, so they can rent camels to carry them up the mountain!
Because of this, this mountain road is also called the "Camel Trail" and is the route chosen by most tourists when climbing. The sound of camel bells comes from this mountain road.
As for those devout believers, they disdain this opportunistic way of climbing. They often choose a route called the 'Ladder of Penance' to hone their physical fitness and will.
The 'Ladder of Penance' was created by a former monk as a penance for his sins. There are a total of 3,750 steps, all of which are cut out of the stone wall and are relatively steep.
While talking, the three-party joint exploration convoy arrived in front of St. Catherine's Monastery and stopped one after another.
At this time, at the entrance of this famous monastery, there were several clergy wearing Orthodox costumes and two senior officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Culture.
Since its establishment in the sixth century AD, St. Catherine's Monastery has been one of the most important monastic centers of the Orthodox Church, and its status has never changed. Those who practice here are naturally Orthodox clergy.
As for the senior officials of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, they came for the three-party joint exploration team and the legendary Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant.
In addition to them, there were also some believers and tourists who came to Mount Sinai for pilgrimage!
These people were preparing to climb Mount Sinai when they saw the arrival of the tripartite joint exploration convoy, so they stopped!
Looking at this joint exploration convoy, everyone at the scene was full of curiosity and excitement, including the clergy of St. Catherine's Monastery!
When the convoy came to a stop, a large number of armed security personnel got out of the car first and quickly dispersed, becoming alert.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent got out of the car one after another and stood in the square in front of the ancient monastery.
The first time he got off the car, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the surrounding situation, and then looked at the ancient monastery not far ahead, as well as the clergy and Egyptian officials.
This is not so much a monastery as a strong castle.
This famous monastery is surrounded by a city wall. The city wall is extremely thick and very tall. It is entirely made of large pieces of granite. Although it is mottled, it is very strong!
There are many arrow stacks and square shooting holes on the walls of the monastery. There are also tall towers and bell towers inside the monastery, where you can overlook the situation outside for defense and attack.
In fact, in the sixth century AD, when Emperor Justinian ordered the construction of this monastery, the purpose was to protect the monks practicing on Mount Sinai!
Over the past more than a thousand years, this monastery has been successively occupied by the ancient Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottoman Empire, Napoleon and other forces, but it has always stood at the foot of Mount Sinai and has not been destroyed!
Of course, the main reason why St. Catherine can still stand and be preserved intact is because it is located on Mount Sinai, a holy place for the three religions, and is protected by all forces.
In just a moment, Ye Tian had scanned the outside of the monastery and had a general understanding of its external situation.
As for the situation inside the monastery, you can only understand it by walking into this monastery!
In addition, Ye Tian also quickly scanned the surroundings, especially the rocks and trees in the shadows, the hillsides in the distance, etc., in case someone was ambushing those places!
Fortunately, he found no danger and the scene was very safe!
While they were talking, Bishop Kent, Joshua, and the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt and others had already walked over and joined Ye Tian and David.
Then everyone walked towards the entrance of St. Catherine's Monastery.
At the same time, the Orthodox clergy and Egyptian officials waiting at the entrance of the monastery also walked down the steps and greeted them.
When the two parties met, they naturally exchanged polite greetings and introduced each other.
Next, the two sides got down to business.
Joshua came forward and introduced the purpose of the tripartite joint exploration team's visit to Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery, and thanked the Egyptian government and the monastery for their cooperation.
Although the purpose of the three-party joint exploration team's trip was already known, when Joshua personally said that the three-party joint exploration team was here to find the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, several clergymen and several members of the St. Catherine Monastery The eyes of an Egyptian official were so bright that they shone brightly!
After Joshua finished his introduction, an Orthodox cleric continued:
"Gentlemen, according to the previous agreement we reached with the Israeli government and relevant Jewish people, you can enter St. Catherine's Monastery to carry out exploration operations, but only for half a day!
Some areas around St. Catherine's Monastery are also included. I don't know where you plan to start. Is it from the outside of the monastery or inside the monastery? I can take you there!
Another point is that St. Catherine's Monastery is a place of practice. Some places are not allowed to outsiders. It houses many very precious antiques, artifacts, artworks, and ancient books and documents.
For this reason, people from St. Catherine's Monastery must be present during your explorations to provide on-site supervision, as well as representatives from the Egyptian Ministry of Culture to ensure impartiality and transparency.
In the more than a thousand years since it was first built, St. Catherine's Monastery has never been affected by war. This is a peaceful place where the three major religions coexist peacefully. You are not allowed to enter with guns! ”
Hearing this, Joshua and Bishop Kent all turned to look at Ye Tian, waiting for his decision. He was the leader of the three-party joint exploration operation.
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"No problem, Father Harris, we can accept what you said, including the on-site supervision of the monks of St. Catherine and officials from the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, and the fact that guns and ammunition cannot be brought into the monastery.
We will never intrude into the forbidden areas inside the monastery that outsiders cannot enter. We are very aware of the historical and cultural value of this monastery, as well as its transcendent status in the religious world.
For the many ancient buildings in this monastery, even every plant, tree, brick and tile! We will do our best to protect them and will never destroy them. You can rest assured about this!
At this time, everyone can see the situation outside the monastery. There are many believers and tourists climbing Mount Sinai. The situation outside is relatively chaotic, so I decided to explore from inside the monastery first!
One more thing I want to explain is that when I discovered King Solomon’s ring and Holy Grail in Tomar, Portugal, the small white translucent cobra guarding the two holy objects was on my body at the moment.
I would like to ask, Father Harris, can I take this little cobra into St. Catherine's Monastery? To avoid any misunderstanding, some people say it is the incarnation of Lucifer or Raphael.
If you don’t allow this little guy to enter St. Catherine’s Monastery, I can leave it outside. If you allow it to enter the monastery, then I will take it with me. It will not actively hurt anyone! ”
While saying these words, Ye Tian gently shook his left hand and whistled.
The next moment, the little white elf guy came out of his left cuff, wrapped it around his wrist, raised his little triangular head, and looked at him affectionately!
As for the other people at the scene, they were ignored by this little guy gorgeously, as if they had not seen him!
The moment I saw this little guy, there was an exclamation of surprise.
"Oh my God! Lucifer is indeed the legendary little white translucent cobra!"
"Wow! What a terrifying guy!"
Amid the exclamations, all the Egyptians at the scene took half a step back. Everyone's eyes were full of fear and they were on high alert.
Compared with them, Joshua, Bishop Kent, David and others behaved much calmer. They had seen this scary little guy many times before and knew that it would not actively attack people!
Looking at the clergy of St. Catherine's Monastery, their eyes were shining brightly and they were extremely excited. Their eyes were fixed on the little guy White Elf, and their eyes were even a little crazy!
It’s no wonder, they are a group of extremely devout monks, and the white elves have been guarding the Holy Grail for a long time and are veritable guardians of the Holy Grail. It can be said that they have their own holy light!
When they saw such a Holy Grail guardian with holy light, it was normal for them to behave like this!
"Of course, no problem, Mr. Steven, this little white cobra is the incarnation of the Archangel and has been guarding the Holy Grail. It's not too late for us to welcome it. How can we refuse it? Of course it can enter St. Catherine's Monastery!"
Father Harris said excitedly, but his eyes were always fixed on the white elf coiled around Ye Tian's wrist!
At this time, he wished he could directly replace Ye Tian and personally welcome this white cobra in the form of an archangel into St. Catherine's Monastery, and then enshrine it!
