In St. Helena Church, Ye Tian made no surprising discoveries. After thoroughly exploring the ancient church, he left with Derek and others.
However, this is only the situation on the surface, and it is performed for the representatives of all parties present at the scene.
In fact, Ye Tian discovered a marble statue beneath the St. Helena Church, which was carved with the head of Emperor Constantine.
This marble sculpture was buried deep underground about a hundred years later than the church of St. Helena was built, and earlier than the monastery of St. Catherine.
It can be inferred from this that this marble head of Emperor Constantine was originally supposed to be enshrined in the Church of St. Helena.
Perhaps due to the war, the monks of St. Helena Church buried the marble head deep underground to avoid being destroyed.
This situation is also normal. After all, Constantine the Great was the emperor of the Roman Empire. He made countless enemies in his life and conquered many countries and regions.
The Church of St. Helena is located in the Sinai Peninsula. Both Arabs and Egyptians hated Emperor Constantine.
If they come to St. Helena Church and see the head of Emperor Constantine, it is almost certain that they will smash it.
Even the Church of St. Helena required Roman soldiers to protect it long after it was built.
The ancient church was not truly safe until the monastery of St. Catherine was built, surrounding the church of St. Helena, and a protective order was obtained from Mohammed.
The reason why Ye Tian did not reveal this discovery was because he knew in his heart that even if he disclosed this discovery, it would be impossible to dig out the marble head now.
St. Helena's Church is the oldest building of St. Catherine's Monastery. It is a religious holy place. It is not that simple to carry out excavation operations here.
Neither the Egyptian government nor St. Catherine's Monastery will easily allow the three-party joint exploration team to dig here!
It is almost certain that if the Egyptians knew that such a priceless treasure was buried deep underground in St. Helen's Church, they would definitely find excuses to stop the excavation!
What's more important is that there is only a head of Emperor Constantine buried deep underground, and there are no other antiques or gold and silver treasures.
And Constantine is a Christian saint and the son of St. Helena. Once this marble head is discovered, it will definitely be left behind by St. Catherine's Monastery.
Because of this, Ye Tiancai did not reveal this discovery.
Since this priceless treasure has nothing to do with you, why bother with it? Let it continue to be buried deep underground!
After leaving St. Helena Church, Ye Tian and the others were going to explore the library of St. Catherine Monastery.
At this moment, a group of company employees who were exploring other parts of the monastery suddenly informed Ye Tian that they had scanned metal objects under a section of the city wall, and the signal was very strong.
After receiving the notification, Ye Tian immediately led people towards the location of the exploration team.
While they were talking, the group of them had arrived under a section of the city wall on the east side of the monastery.
After arriving here, Ye Tian first asked his employees about the situation, and then asked them to scan the place where the metal signal was found again.
As the probe coil of the pulse metal detector swept across the ground, a pleasant chirping sound immediately sounded at the scene, which was very beautiful!
Listening to this voice, everyone present had a look of surprise on their faces. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation.
Compared with others, Ye Tianze behaved calmly.
He first checked the various detection data on the LCD display, then turned to look at the city wall beside him and the nearby terrain, and then fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he smiled and said:
“According to the data analysis from the pulse metal detector, there are indeed some metal objects buried more than one meter underground in this area, and there are a lot of them, and they are gathered together.
But I think these metal objects are not treasures, let alone Solomon's treasures, but some ancient weapons, such as arrows and spears, as well as daggers and shields.
In other words, this was once a place where weapons were stored, such as a temporary armory. However, due to its age, the temporary armory collapsed and was buried again!
Of course there are reasons why I say this. The first is the depth of burial. If there is any treasure buried here, it will never be buried so shallow, as it will be too easy to be discovered!
Secondly, let’s look at the terrain here. The area where the metal signal was scanned is a gentle slope, reaching the root of the city wall. There is a ladder next to it, and you can go up to the city wall along the ladder.
Obviously, this is a very suitable place to set up an armory. Once the monastery is attacked, the people inside can take out weapons from this armory and quickly rush to the city wall for defense.
On weekdays, all the weapons are stored in this armory. After all, this is a monastery, and it is located under Mount Sinai, the holy site of the three religions. It is protected by all parties, and there are very few opportunities to use weapons."
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed at the gentle **** he was standing on and the city wall beside him.
As he said, on the inside of the city wall three or four meters away, there is a staircase less than one meter wide, which leads from the root of the city wall to the top.
After hearing his analysis, everyone at the scene nodded in approval!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Some people may ask, why do the monks of St. Catherine's Monastery not know the existence of this armory? This is actually not difficult to explain, and it starts with the history of St. Catherine's Monastery.
As we all know, when the Arabs conquered the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt in the mid-seventh century AD, a large number of monks from the Sinai Peninsula fled here, including the monks from St. Catherine's Monastery.
Those were difficult years. When the number of people was at its lowest, there were less than thirty monks left in the Sinai Peninsula, and even fewer monks in St. Catherine's Monastery. It is estimated that only a few are still holding on!
During that turbulent period, even such a religious holy place needed to prepare some weapons to deal with possible attacks at any time. Otherwise, there would be no need for the monastery to build a city wall!
Perhaps it was during that period that the armory located at the root of the city wall collapsed, burying all the weapons. Because there were too few manpower in the monastery, they were not cleared out.
As time went by, this collapsed armory was buried by yellow sand. It was not until a few centuries later that the situation on the Sinai Peninsula improved, and a large number of monks came to St. Catherine's Monastery to practice!
These later monks naturally did not know about this armory that had been buried for a long time. The various weapons in this armory had been buried underground until the three-party joint exploration team arrived.
What's more important is that the metal objects we scanned with the pulse metal detector, based on their shape analysis, do not look like gold and silver treasures, such as gold products, but more like ancient weapons.
These are all my speculations, and I am not sure whether they are correct. If you want to know the results, just dig up here. Fortunately, these metal objects are not buried deep, and there are no historical buildings here."
After he finished speaking, Ye Tian looked at Father Harris and the vice-chancellor of St. Catherine Monastery. Everyone else at the scene also looked at them.
They need to make a decision whether to dig here and dig out these ancient weapons or other metal objects buried deep underground!
The reason why Ye Tian went to such great lengths to make such a big deal was naturally not because of these ancient weapons buried deep underground.
He wanted to use this armory buried deep underground to test the attitude of St. Catherine's Monastery and decide whether to disclose another more important treasure.
If Father Harris and the others do not agree to excavate in the monastery and this ancient armory, Ye Tian is prepared to keep the secret and leave with the three-party joint exploration team!
In this way, the more important treasure can only continue to sleep!
On the contrary, there will be a shocking discovery!
