The place where the convoy stopped was not far from the ruins of the ancient city in the desert, only a few hundred meters away.

So everyone did not use camels or desert all-terrain vehicles, but carried various exploration equipment and other things on their backs and walked towards the ruins of the historical ancient city not far away.

The sand in this desert is not very thick, and the terrain has few undulations, so walking is not particularly difficult.

Another reason is that the current tripartite joint exploration team is all men.

Everyone is in very good physical condition, so trekking this small distance is not a problem at all.

While traveling, Joshua introduced the situation here to Ye Tian and others.

"Steven, the reason why we have chosen this historical city site as one of our exploration destinations is because it is related to the Queen of Sheba and another ancestor of the Israelites.

According to legend, the Queen of Sheba made several trips to and from Jerusalem, and each time she passed near Khartoum, she would stay for a while in this historic city on the edge of the Blue Nile.

Later, Menelik I returned to Ethiopia with some Israelis and lived here for a while, and some of the Israelis also settled here.

They lived here for about hundreds of years, and then went south to the Ethiopian plateau, merging with the Israelites who had gone to Ethiopia earlier, and eventually formed the Beta Israelites! ”

Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly understood.

"So, if the Israelis living here moved from Jerusalem with Menelik I, then it is indeed possible that they brought Solomon's treasure here.

However, they did not live here for a long time, only a few hundred years. In other words, they probably left here before BC and went south to Ethiopia.

After these Israelis left, who else lived in this area and in this ancient city? How long have they lived in this ancient city? Are there any relevant records? ”

As he finished speaking, an Israeli archaeologist next to him continued:

“The Israelis who once lived here have indeed only lived here for a few hundred years, and they have not lived as long as the ancestors of the Israelis from Dongola’s tribe in Sudan.

After they left this ancient city, it was abandoned and later occupied by a group of Nubians. Because of frequent floods, the Nubians did not stay long.

After the Nubians, the Arabs also lived here for hundreds of years. It was not until around the Middle Ages that this place was completely uninhabited, and it gradually became what it is now."

While the Israeli archaeologist was introducing the situation, Ye Tian and the others were also looking at the ruins of the ancient city not far away and the surrounding terrain.

There are no raised mountains or steep canyons around the ruins of this historical city, only a barren desert with a relatively flat terrain.

Not far from the ruins of this historical city is the famous Blue Nile, which is like a jade belt, winding from the Ethiopian plateau.

Ye Tian quickly scanned the terrain here, and then shook his head gently.

"Gentlemen, the terrain here is too flat. I think it is not very likely that Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are hidden here. We may be disappointed.

Another point is that this historical city has changed hands many times. If there were any treasures buried here, they would have been discovered long ago and would not have been preserved until now! ”

After hearing these words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Several Israelis led by Joshua were somewhat disappointed.

In a short time, the three-party joint exploration team arrived at the ruins of the ancient city.

For safety reasons, Ye Tian and the others did not immediately enter the ancient city ruins to explore.

The first to enter the ruins of the ancient city were many Israeli agents and military police led by Heman.

They visited every corner of the ancient city ruins to make sure there were no ambushes, mines or other traps laid by others to avoid accidents.

Mattis and the others stayed in place to protect the three-party joint exploration team.

As for the Sudanese military police who came with the team, they could only stand farther away and be responsible for peripheral security.

Everyone arrived here and just stood still. Several Sudanese officials and Islamic elders responsible for on-site supervision immediately came over and asked with concern:

"Mr. Steven, Mr. Joshua, when will you start the exploration? Where might Solomon's treasure be buried in the ruins of this ancient city?"

Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but looked at the short wall closest to him and then looked at the situation on the ground.

He pretended to think for a while, then smiled and shook his head and said:

"Gentlemen, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Solomon's treasure is hidden here. You can take a look at the short wall in front. The water stains on it are very obvious"

As he spoke, he pointed to the low wall ahead.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked over.

As he said, there are indeed clear traces of water stains on that low wall.

Those water stains are very deep and were formed over many years, not overnight.

Just because that section of the low wall was made of granite instead of mud bricks, it still stood there and did not collapse.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

“Judging from these water damage marks formed over many years, this place is often hit by heavy rains and even floods, so these clear water damage marks are left.

In addition, the terrain here is relatively flat and is not suitable for hiding any treasures. In that case, the treasures hidden deep underground are likely to be completely submerged by floods.

The underground space used to hide the treasure will also collapse as a result. If I were the owner of the treasure, I would never hide my treasure in such a place.

By extension, the Israelites who lived here before BC would not hide the treasure here even if the legendary Solomon's treasure was in their hands.

According to my speculation, in addition to issues of race and religious belief, the reason why the ancestors of this group of Israelites left here is that the environment is probably also a very important factor.

Perhaps they left this ancient city to escape the frequent floods and went to the relatively high Ethiopian plateau. The same was true for those who came later! ”

Listening to his explanation, the faces of the senior officials of the Sudanese government and Islamic elders flashed with disappointment.

They even hope that Ye Tian will discover something and find the legendary Solomon's treasure here, or some other treasure, even more than Israel and the Vatican.

If Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are found, Sudan will be able to receive the benefits promised by the Israeli government, large amounts of aid, and large investments.

This place will also become a religious holy place, and a holy place for the three religions, which will attract countless tourists to travel and countless believers to come for pilgrimage.

As long as it is done properly, it will continue to bring huge income to Sudan and become a tourist attraction.

If you find another treasure, it's very straightforward.

According to the previous agreement, half of this treasure will belong to the Sudanese government, which may also be a very amazing wealth.

But the current situation is that there may be nothing here, just ruins.

After a while, Ximan and the others walked out of the ruins of the ancient city.

"Joshua and Steven, we have roughly searched the ancient city ruins and found no danger, so you can basically rest assured!"

Seaman reported the situation.

"In this case, let's start taking action and explore the ruins of this ancient city. What can we find?"

Ye Tian nodded and said.

Then everyone took action.

As before, many Brave Exploration Company employees were divided into several groups. Each group held a pulse metal detector and began to scan the ground and all the nooks and crannies of this historical ancient city ruins.

Compared to many places we have explored before, the task of exploring the ruins of this historical city is relatively simple.

The terrain here is flat, with no cliffs, mountains or dense forests, nor rivers or lakes.

Just like walking, just scan the ground with a pulse metal detector.

If there is really any treasure buried deep underground in this historical city, it can be detected as long as it is not buried very deep!

After his company employees dispersed, Ye Tian and several archaeologists and historians also took action.

Their inspection targets were mainly those sections of ancient stone walls.

Ye Tian teamed up with an archaeologist from Columbia University and came to a low stone wall to start exploring.

On this ancient granite stone wall, they did find something.

Not long after the exploration started, the Columbia University archaeologist said:

"Steven, come and take a look here. There are several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and several stone carvings carved here, which look interesting"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately walked over.

Coming closer, following the direction of the archaeologist's finger, he looked at a granite stone at the bottom of the stone wall.

There are indeed several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs carved on the side of that granite, but they are not very regular, or a bit sloppy.

In addition, under the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, there are two stone carvings.

The carvings appear to be two women praying.

Judging from his facial features, he should be a black man, not an ancient Egyptian.

The side of another piece of granite next to it is also engraved with several ancient patterns. It looks like a few miners digging, and the facial contours are also black.

Due to the age and the erosion of running water and wind and sand, these words and patterns are no longer clearly visible and difficult to distinguish.

Ye Tian observed carefully, pondered for a moment, and then expressed his judgment.

"If I read correctly, these should be characters and patterns carved by Nubians. The facial features of the characters in these patterns clearly look like black people, not ancient Egyptians.

From this point of view, these ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns carved on the stone walls can be traced back as far as the Nubian Dynasty, which is the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt.

More recently, it can be traced back to around 300 BC. Nubia gradually got rid of the influence of ancient Egyptian civilization, became culturally independent, and began to use its own script.

In other words, from the mid-eighth century BC to around 300 BC, for a period of four to five hundred years, the Nubians probably lived in this ancient city.

If the Israelis are right and there was a group of Israeli ancestors who lived here for a long time, then there is only one possibility: they mixed with the Nubians! ”

"Yes, Steven, these ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and stone carvings are most likely left by the Nubians. This is enough to show that Nubians once lived here.

Combined with the time when Menelik I fled Jerusalem with a large number of Israelis, it happened to be the period of the rise of the Nubian dynasty, and this was the territory of the Nubian dynasty!

It can be inferred from this that when Menelik I came here with some of the ancestors of the Israelites, this ancient city may have been built, and the Nubians lived in it! ”

The Columbia University archaeologist nodded and said, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's analysis.

Next, the two of them discussed for a while.

And Ye Tian called an ancient writing expert and asked him to translate the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs carved on the granite and analyze the meaning of the stone carvings.

According to the translation by the ancient writing expert, the content described in these ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics is a sacrificial activity that took place nearby.

The black miners carved on the granite are a group of slaves, probably mining gold for the slave owners.

Unfortunately, these words and patterns are blurred and incomplete, and only a small part of them remains.

No information about gold mines can be found in these ancient texts and patterns.

Next, Ye Tian and the Columbia University archaeologist continued to explore this wall, trying to find something.

On this low and ancient stone wall, they discovered some Nubian writings, as well as ancient Hebrew, ancient Greek, and ancient Arabic, etc.

In addition, they found some strange symbols.

These strange symbols look like original text and some kind of pattern, with unknown meanings!

Through these findings, they were able to determine.

The ruins of this ancient city have a very long history, dating back to around 1,000 BC.

Since that era, this ancient city has gone through many vicissitudes, changed countless owners, and witnessed countless historical changes, until it was completely abandoned.

People who once lived here included Nubians, Israelis, travelers from ancient Greece, and Arabs with a scimitar in one hand and a gulan in the other, etc. They all stayed here. have their respective marks.

However, Ye Tian and the others never found any information related to Solomon's treasure or the Ark of the Covenant.

During this period, an exploration team composed of several employees of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company also detected some metal objects buried deep underground.

Those metal objects are buried at different depths and in different layers of soil, and they are basically isolated. At most, there are only two or three pieces placed together.

After careful analysis, Ye Tian was quickly determined.

Those metal objects deep underground are not treasures, but other things.

There are ancient farm tools, broken weapons, and a small number of burial objects, etc., which have nothing to do with Solomon's treasure.

For the three-party joint exploration team, these metal objects have no excavation value and are not worth wasting a lot of time and energy on them.

We can only leave them to the Sudanese. As for whether the Sudanese will excavate, that is their business and has nothing to do with the tripartite joint exploration team!

Four or five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

It is noon.

The scorching sun was scorching the desert mercilessly, almost setting it on fire.

Fortunately, everyone has finished exploring this historical city site, so there is no need to suffer here anymore.

Ye Tian called together all his employees and representatives from other parties and said to these guys:

"Okay, guys, our work here has been completed. Now we can confirm that the legendary Solomon's treasure is not in the ruins of this historical city. Everyone can leave"

"Wow! That's great!"

The scene immediately burst into cheers.

The reason why Khartoum is called the ‘stoker of the world’ is not for nothing, it definitely lives up to its name!

If we stay in this desert any longer, we all feel that we will soon dry out in the sun.

However, the Israelis and Sudanese at the scene were somewhat disappointed.

After Ye Tian announced that today's exploration operation was over, everyone immediately packed up their things, left the ruins of this historical ancient city, and returned along the original road.

Not long after, the tripartite joint exploration convoy appeared on the road again and drove straight to Khartoum.

It was only then that those vehicles, which were looking for each other on the road like headless flies, finally determined their target and followed the joint exploration convoy back to Khartoum.
