As soon as the joint exploration convoy stopped, someone was immediately ready to approach and inquire for information.
As a result, they were all stopped by the Tigray state military police in charge of security. They could only stay outside the cordon, stretching their necks and looking this way.
When the convoy came to a stop, Seaman led a large number of heavily armed Israeli security personnel to get out of the car first, quickly dispersed, and looked around cautiously.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and stood on the roadside at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Tian quickly took a look at the surrounding environment, especially the mountains and rocks where he could hide, as well as the ditches and ridges. He quickly looked through them.
Fortunately, there are no ambushes in these places and they seem relatively safe.
Then he looked up at the mountain peak in front of him.
Although this mountain peak is not very high, the terrain is very steep. There is only a winding mountain road to reach the top of the mountain.
Other places are either criss-crossed with ravines, densely forested, or steep and impassable.
On the top of this mountain peak, there is an ancient castle that has been abandoned for seven or eight hundred years and is now in ruins.
That ancient ruins is the target of today's exploration by the three-party joint exploration team.
At this time, the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain was crowded with people who came to explore Solomon's treasures, forming a long queue from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
While Ye Tian was checking the situation, those who came with hopes to explore Solomon's treasure were also looking at him and the three-party joint exploration team, and everyone was full of expectations.
Some of the guys even shouted questions at the top of their lungs.
"Steven, is the reason why the three-party joint exploration team came here because this is the so-called desperate situation? Is the legendary Solomon's Treasure hidden on this mountain peak?"
"Steven, when we climb this mountain, can we see the light of God? Is it pointing to the most holy Ark of the Covenant?"
Ye Tian did not respond to these guys' questions, but just smiled.
While they were talking, Joshua, the deputy mayor of Aksum and others had come closer and joined Ye Tian and the others.
The situation on the mountain peak in front of them made Joshua and the others very surprised.
"Mr. Deputy Mayor, what is going on? Why do so many people come here and climb this mountain before the tripartite joint exploration team? The tripartite joint exploration team is coming here to explore Who leaked the news?"
Joshua asked in a low voice, with a very ugly expression.
Not only him, but also everyone else in the tripartite joint exploration team.
With so many people waiting on the mountain peak, it will inevitably interfere with the subsequent exploration operations, cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and even threaten the safety of the joint exploration team.
The deputy mayor of Aksum looked at the situation on the mountain, and then said with a helpless smile:
"Gentlemen, we do not want to see this situation. Not only this mountain peak, but also every dangerous place around Aksum is now crowded with people coming to explore for treasures.
Among them are locals from Aksum, residents of Tigray, treasure hunters and believers who came from other parts of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and even all over the world.
These people were all attracted by the ancient Hebrew text on the granite found yesterday. They all want to find the desperate situation in life mentioned in that line of text, and they all want to find the light of God!
Everyone has different understandings and associations with that line of ancient Hebrew text. The result is that almost every dangerous place around Axum is now overcrowded.
I don’t know if the news that the tripartite joint exploration team is coming here to carry out operations has been leaked. Since last night, a lot of people have gathered here, and we cannot block the entire mountain."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this explanation.
Ye Tianze smiled helplessly, and then said:
"If I had known that this would lead to this situation, when I discovered the granite yesterday, I should not have disclosed the content engraved on it. The news would not have been leaked and this situation would not have happened today."
"It is true, but who would have thought that the news would leak out so quickly and spread all over the world in one night!"
Bishop Kent nodded and said.
Before finishing speaking, everyone looked at the Ethiopians present.
Everyone knows who spread this news.
The expressions of those Ethiopians were somewhat embarrassed, but fortunately they were all black, so even if they blushed, they wouldn't be able to tell.
After a moment, the deputy mayor of Axum said:
"Gentlemen, it is too late to say this now, the news has been leaked long ago and there is no way to recover it"
Ye Tian nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, what we want to discuss now is how to carry out today's exploration operation? This is the most critical issue!"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded.
Then, Ye Tian continued:
"Everyone has seen the situation of this mountain peak. The road is rugged and very steep, and there are many unidentified people along the way. It is not easy to climb to the top of the mountain smoothly.
In view of this situation, I suggest that people over fifty years old should not climb this mountain. It is better to stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for the final exploration results, which is more appropriate.
The rest of the exploration team members and security personnel who climb this mountain must also be streamlined. The number of people should not be too large, and they do not need to carry too much exploration equipment, and they must pay attention to safety."
After the words fell, several older archaeologists and paleographers were immediately ready to refute.
When they looked up at the towering mountain in front of them, they were speechless.
They knew that they might be able to climb this mountain peak, but they would definitely be exhausted and collapse on the ground after climbing the mountain, which would even be quite dangerous.
In the next joint exploration operation, not only will I not be able to help at all, but I will become a burden to others and drag down the entire joint exploration team.
Thinking of this, they all fell silent.
Ye Tian looked at these experts and scholars, then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, although you cannot climb this mountain, you can still participate in this joint exploration operation. During the exploration, if we encounter any problems, we will ask you for advice via phone or video.
In this case, you can participate, be immersed in the scene, and follow us to explore the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the mountain. You don’t have to worry about your own safety, and you can sit in the car and conduct research with confidence! ”
Hearing this, the archaeologists and paleographers all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on their faces.
"This arrangement is very good, Steven. Even if we don't have to climb this mountain, we can still participate in this joint exploration operation. I wish you a helping hand!"
"Indeed, if we encounter problems that are difficult to solve, such as the obscure variants of ancient Hebrew we encountered yesterday, we can contact other experts and scholars here to decipher them together"
Several archaeologists and paleographers said one after another.
Next, Ye Tian began to select the personnel and security team members who would follow him to the mountain peak and carry out exploration operations.
After a while, he completed the selection work.
Immediately afterwards, he asked his exploration team members to prepare exploration equipment and other things.
Of course, there are also a large number of weapons and ammunition, mainly carried by security team members.
Ten minutes later, everyone was ready.
At this time, Ye Tian was carrying a huge mountaineering bag, wearing a jacket, and hiking boots. He was dressed like a mountaineer, but not like a top professional treasure hunter.
The dozens of exploration team members who were going to follow him to climb the mountain all dressed up in almost the same way.
They stood together, looking more like an expedition team than a treasure hunting team.
The security personnel were also prepared. Everyone was fully armed, carrying assault rifles and mountaineering bags.
Everything is ready!
Ye Tian looked at the mountain peak in front of him, and then said to the people around him:
"Guys, let's set off and go to the top of this mountain to take a look at the scenery and see if we can find anything. What awaits us may be a huge surprise!"
"Okay, Steven"
Many exploration team members and security team members responded in unison, everyone was full of confidence.
Next, Ye Tian took the lead and took everyone towards the mountain peak.
Following them on the climb were more than two dozen Tigray State military and police personnel, responsible for protecting the safety of the tripartite joint exploration team.
After a while, Ye Tian and the others had crossed the cordon set up by the Tigray State police and set foot on the winding mountain road leading to the top of the mountain.
The people who had gathered at the foot of the mountain were all excited when they saw them coming.
Not surprisingly, those guys followed immediately, hoping to take advantage of the three-party joint exploration team to see if they could discover anything.
Fortunately, the Tigray State military police and security personnel were on hand to protect them, keeping those guys at a distance and preventing them from approaching.
Ye Tian didn't say anything about this situation.
As they climbed up the mountain road, they laughed and chatted in low voices.
However, how could those guys following behind let go of this opportunity?
Especially those media reporters kept asking questions loudly.
"Steven, is your exploration target the ruins of the old castle on the top of the mountain? What secrets are hidden there? Can you introduce the situation?"
"Hello, Steven, what does the desperate situation of life carved on the granite refer to? Does it point to the place where Solomon's treasure is hidden?"
Ye Tian turned a deaf ear to these questions and did not give any response.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
Ye Tian and the others walked up the winding mountain road for two to three hundred meters, but the height only increased by less than fifty meters.
Near the foot of the mountain, the mountain road is relatively wide and flat. As the height continues to increase, the mountain road has become more and more rugged, narrower and more difficult to walk.
At first, everyone was talking and laughing and very relaxed.
After climbing more than 200 meters along the mountain road, everyone talked less and less and began to focus on the mountain road at their feet, with a little more caution.
Because we were carrying a large amount of exploration equipment, various supplies, as well as weapons and ammunition, everyone's burden was heavy. It was also difficult to walk up the mountain road, so we used trekking poles early.
As for the media reporters who followed, when they received no response, they had no choice but to shut up and continue to follow everyone, panting and climbing the mountain.
Compared to others, Ye Tian seemed much more relaxed.
Along the way, his breathing was very steady, his steps were firm, and he didn't even sweat at all on his forehead.
After walking more than 300 meters, there happens to be a platform where climbers can rest.
Ye Tian looked at his exploration team members and security personnel, and then said to them:
"Guys, let's rest here for a while before climbing again!"
Everyone nodded, then stopped and prepared to rest here for a while.
As the team stopped, the Tigray State military police and security team members in charge of security quickly blocked the platform and prevented others from approaching.
The guys who followed behind could only stand on the steps and sit down to rest.
This long snake-like climbing team on the mountain road immediately became a bit out of touch.
People at higher places were still climbing up, but near the foot of the mountain, everyone stopped and stared at Ye Tian and the others, preparing to follow them.
On the platform where everyone rests, there are several large and small granite pieces, which are engraved with various words and patterns, some from ancient times, but more are modern graffiti.
After stopping, Ye Tianxian observed the surrounding situation, and then walked to the granites with a paleographist and began to look at the ancient characters and patterns carved on the stones.
In just a moment, they had discovered something.
"Stephen, look at these Tigrinya words. What they describe should be the situation of the old castle on the top of the mountain, saying that the old castle is very grand and solemn.
It is a pity that the words before and after have been destroyed or covered by the graffiti of later generations, so no more content can be seen, otherwise, we can find more."
Following the direction of the paleographer's finger, Ye Tian checked the ancient characters and patterns carved on the stone.
Although he did not understand the ancient Tigrinya and Amharic languages, he could tell when those words and patterns were carved on the granite.
After roughly checking the ancient characters and patterns, he looked up at the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the mountain, and then said with a smile:
"It seems that we have come to the right place this time. We may find something surprising. Now we can at least be sure that the castle on the top of the mountain is very old and important!"
"Yes, judging from these ancient texts, this is indeed the case"
The paleographer nodded and said.
Next, the two of them discussed for a while, took out their mobile phones, and took pictures of these granite blocks from various angles.
After a short rest, everyone started again and continued climbing.
As soon as the tripartite joint exploration team left the platform, the media reporters who followed immediately swarmed up and rushed onto this small platform.
They followed suit, picked up cameras and video cameras one after another, and took pictures of all the granite blocks.
After filming, they followed the tripartite joint exploration team.
Next, Ye Tian and the others rested several times on the way to recover their strength.
It took nearly an hour and a half before everyone reached the top of the mountain.
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, there were already crowds of people around the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the mountain.
Fortunately, the Tigray police did something. They surrounded the ruins of the ancient castle and did not allow others to enter, so as not to interfere with the joint exploration operation.
With the arrival of Ye Tian and others, the top of the mountain suddenly boiled.
"Look, that guy Steven came up with a bunch of his men. I wonder what they will find here today? I wonder if that guy who is always favored by God will create miracles again?"
"Who knows, but wherever this guy Steven goes, magical things always happen. I hope it will be the same this time. In that case, maybe we can also have a sip of soup!"
While people were talking about it, Ye Tian was taking stock of the situation here.
This is the commanding heights of the mountain, with unobstructed surroundings and a very broad view.
The ruins of the ancient castle that we will explore today are located at the highest point of the mountain, and the terrain is very dangerous.
To the south of the ancient castle ruins is a sparse mountain forest, to the east is the winding mountain road that everyone came up to, and to the west and north are very steep cliffs. The terrain is very dangerous!
Standing on the ruins of the ancient castle, you can overlook this steep mountain peak, the deep canyons to the west and north, and the city of Axum not far to the east!
About three or four hundred meters away from the castle, separated by a deep canyon, is a taller and more precipitous cliff, like a knife and an axe!
While observing the scene, Ye Tian also secretly turned on the perspective and quickly looked through every corner around the mountain peak.
He also quickly observed the cliff on the opposite side and the canyon below.
Due to the limited distance, he could not see through the cliffs on the opposite side and the canyon below, but what he saw was unmatched by others!
On this mountain peak, there are many guys carrying guns and other weapons, hiding among the people climbing and exploring.
Among them were security personnel who took orders from him, Israeli plainclothes agents, armed personnel from the TPLF, and some guys with unknown origins.
Those guys with unknown origins are very calm at this time, and they don’t look much different from other people!
They are all here for Solomon’s treasure or the Ark of the Covenant, and it’s obviously not time to take action yet!
In other words, this mountaintop is safe until Solomon's Treasure or other treasures are discovered!
After quickly grasping the situation on the top of the mountain, Ye Tian pointed to the sheer cliffs on the west side of the mountain and asked the Aksum city official beside him:
"That cliff looks very steep and shocking. Can you tell us about the situation?"
Hearing this, the Axum city official who came with the team immediately looked at the cliff across the canyon, and his expression changed.
"Mr. Steven, the situation on that cliff is very complicated, very steep and dangerous. People fall off that cliff and die every year!
Unlike this mountain peak, the stones on that cliff fall off very easily. Many stones that look very strong cannot bear much weight.
Last year, several rock climbers from Europe tried to conquer that cliff, but they accidentally fell off the cliff and died. There was only one survivor.
It is said that this situation has been going on for hundreds of years. In Axum, it is said that there is a volcano inside the cliff, which is constantly baking the rocks on the mountain..."
The Axum official introduced the situation of the cliff with a look of fear in his eyes.
Hearing these words, Ye Tian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
