It took a long time for everyone to calm down slightly.

"Papa"

Ye Tian gently patted his palms twice to wake everyone up.

Then he smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, the discovery of these stone carvings and murals on both sides of the cave walls is extremely shocking. It also proves that our exploration is in the right direction and has made significant progress.

But this exploration is not over yet, it is just the beginning, so everyone should control their emotions and continue to explore. There may be bigger surprises next."

Irving and the others nodded and said excitedly:

"Understood, Steven, let's continue"

"Yes, gentlemen"

Ye Tian nodded in response.

Next, he directed these archaeologists and paleographers to wipe away all the dust on the cave walls on both sides of the stone gate.

Even the ground and the roof of the cave were wiped down by them.

As a large amount of dust was wiped away, they discovered several slightly blurry stone murals and some difficult to understand ancient Hebrew texts.

The murals on the cave wall on the left side of the stone gate basically tell about Moses.

From the time Moses was born, to shepherding sheep on the Sinai Peninsula, to leading the Israelites out of Egypt, to receiving the Ten Commandments, until his death.

This is a stone biography of Moses, which is of great historical and cultural research value.

There is no doubt that this place will become a holy place in the hearts of the Jews and will attract countless pilgrims in the future.

The murals on the wall of the cave opposite tell the story of Menelik I leading some Israelis to escape from Jerusalem and escape to Ethiopia.

After Menelik I took advantage of the chaos to steal some of Solomon's treasures and the Ark of the Covenant from Solomon's Temple, he fled with some of the Israelites.

They first fled to the Sinai Peninsula, where they hid for a while, and then fled across the Red Sea into Egypt.

Next, they fled along the Nile Valley. It took more than two years before they fled to Ethiopia, finally stopping near Axum.

In one of the murals, the image of the Queen of Sheba also appears.

Not surprisingly, the discovery of these murals once again caused a huge sensation.

At this point, the long-circulated legends about the Queen of Sheba and Menelik I have finally been confirmed.

Especially the Queen of Sheba, a figure who only existed in legends in the past, has finally been confirmed.

She is a real person, not a fictional historical figure.

The stone carvings and murals that record the life of Moses show that the relevant records and stories in the Old Testament are not groundless.

At least around 100 BC, stories about Moses have been widely circulated, and he was also regarded as an Israeli saint!

The variants of ancient Hebrew written on both sides of the cave walls and ceiling are still difficult to understand and difficult to decipher.

Similar to the previous method, Ye Tian and the others took pictures of all these ancient characters and stone carvings and murals, and sent them to the top and bottom of the cliff for other archaeologists and philologists to study.

After exploring both sides of the cave walls, the ground, and the cave roof, everyone looked at the unusually thick stone door, and everyone's eyes lit up.

Ye Tian stepped forward again, pretending to take a serious look at the stone door.

After making sure it was safe, he nodded and said:

"Gentlemen, you can wipe this stone door, but you still have to be careful. Once you find anything wrong, stop immediately and retreat quickly!"

"Got it, Steven"

Irving responded, and the Israeli archaeologist nodded.

Before they finished speaking, they had already walked to the stone door and carefully began to wipe the dust on the stone door.

As they moved, some exquisite decorations and patterns, as well as ancient texts carved on the stone door, appeared one by one.

On this stone gate, there are several sacrificial patterns carved on it.

Those who performed the sacrifices all seemed to be Beta Israelites, and the object of their sacrifices was a square, radiating temple.

But where is this temple? But no one knows.

The mural engraved on the stone gate does not give a clear path to this temple, at least no one can see it.

In addition to these stone carvings and murals, there are also some exquisite patterns on the stone gate.

Both the murals and decorations are based on Jewish culture, and some elements of African culture can also be seen.

This reflects the formation process of the Beta Israelites and is of high research value.

In addition, there are many ancient texts engraved on this stone gate.

The difference from before is that there are two kinds of text here.

One is a variant of ancient Hebrew, and the other is ancient Giz script, and the two scripts correspond to each other.

Everyone is very excited about this discovery!

Those obscure and difficult variants of ancient Hebrew are currently difficult to decipher and their meaning cannot be understood.

But the corresponding Giz scripts are not difficult to decipher.

As soon as Owen and the others wiped off the dust on the stone door, the Israeli paleographer couldn't wait to step forward and began to decipher the ancient Giz script.

In just a moment, he discovered something.

“These ancient words engraved on the stone gate are curses, saying that this is a holy place and no one is allowed to trespass, otherwise he will suffer divine punishment, either being burned to death by flames or being poisoned by poison. Die!"

The Israeli paleontologist said in a deep voice, with an unusually solemn expression.

"Ah!"

Everyone immediately exclaimed and was shocked.

Several camps of the three-party joint exploration team, as well as countless live broadcasts, also exclaimed again and again.

"Oh my god, it's such a vicious curse. I wonder if this curse will come true?"

"I knew that sooner or later I would encounter something like this, but I just didn't know, what choice would Steven and the others make? Should they exit this cave, or open this stone door and continue exploring?"

While exclaiming, people became even more excited.

This is called watching the fun without taking it too seriously!

The Ye Tian family members who were far away in Beijing couldn't help but feel a little worried when they saw this.

"Why are there such things in Western treasures? It sounds scary. If you want me to see it, just withdraw it!"

My sister-in-law said angrily.

Hearing this, several other family members nodded in agreement.

"That is, the current discovery is sensational enough. There is no need for Xiaotian to continue adventurous exploration. Just leave the rest to Israel and the Vatican. It would be better to get out as soon as possible."

On the live broadcast screen.

Ye Tian walked forward again and looked at the stone gate and the curses carved on it.

After checking the situation, he fell into deep thought.

After about half a minute, he raised his head.

Next, he stepped back a few meters, turned off the live broadcast microphone, then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked in a low voice:

"His Majesty the Pope, Mr. Prime Minister, I believe you have also seen these curses carved on the stone gate. It is clearly written on it that behind this stone gate is a holy place and no unauthorized entry is allowed.

What should we do next? Should I open this stone door and continue the exploration with the three-party joint exploration team, or should I leave the subsequent exploration tasks to you to take the lead?

No matter which plan I choose, I can accept it. This tripartite joint exploration operation has progressed to this point. I think I can retire with success and avoid suspicion and avoid trouble."

The pope and the Israeli prime minister did not immediately respond, but fell silent.

Obviously, the two giants are discussing.

After a moment, the voice of the Israeli Prime Minister came first.

"Steven, I think the next joint exploration operation is still inseparable from you and needs you to lead it. The follow-up exploration operation is too important to make any mistakes!"

Before he finished speaking, the Pope's voice came from the intercom.

"Steven, no one has more experience in exploring treasures than you, and no one has your sharp vision and strength, and you are also the favored child of God.

You can’t quit now, and you don’t have to avoid suspicion. We completely trust you, and we need to use your good luck to bring the most perfect conclusion to this joint exploration operation."

Hearing the response, Ye Tian paused for a moment and then said:

"Okay, Your Majesty the Pope, Mr. Prime Minister, then I will continue to lead the team to explore. Before opening this stone door, I need to let other members of the joint exploration team go down to this cave"

"No problem, Steven, the next exploration operation will still be led by you, and our people will obey the command"

The Israeli Prime Minister responded.

Subsequently, Ye Tian notified the members of the joint exploration team and experts and scholars who were staying on the top of the cliff, asking them to descend in batches and enter the cave to prepare for the next step of exploration.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eager guys on the top of the cliff immediately cheered.

Immediately afterwards, those guys began to descend in batches and entered the cave one after another.

Ye Tianze walked to the stone door and studied how to open the thick stone door.

……

Church of St. Mary of Axum.

At this time, thousands of Orthodox monks and believers had gathered outside this famous church, surrounding the entire church.

Without exception, the Orthodox monks and believers gathered around St. Mary's Church were very emotional, even extremely sad and angry.

But among the crowd, there was a feeling of panic, and it was spreading rapidly, affecting everyone here.

If you look closely, you will find that the eyes of those Orthodox monks and believers who were originally extremely devout are no longer firm and full of confusion and helplessness.

It can be seen that a series of major discoveries made by the three-party joint exploration team have gradually shaken their beliefs.

Of course, some people's faith never wavered.

They always firmly believe that the holiest object of Judaism and Christianity, the Ark of the Covenant, is in the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion and has never been lost!

Hidden deep in the Star of David cave to the west of Axum may be the legendary treasure of Solomon, but it is definitely not the Ark of the Covenant!

The crowd outside Santa Maria Church was furious, but inside the church there was dead silence.

At this time, everyone in the church was silent, staring closely at the live broadcast of the National Geographic Channel, with worries and even horror in their eyes.

In a room deep in the church.

Several senior clergy were also watching the live broadcast of the treasure hunt.

"What should we do now? We have to do something, right? This is too passive. If it continues like this, there will probably be a big mess and the consequences will be disastrous!"

An Orthodox priest said with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, the other people on the scene nodded.

The person in charge of Santa Maria Church looked at everyone present, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

"Everyone has also seen the stone murals just now. Menelik I did bring the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and Aksum. There is no doubt about it.

For us, this is a blessing among misfortunes. We can use this to explain to believers that as long as it is handled properly, I believe it will not have much impact.

We must pay close attention to the progress of this joint exploration operation and see what the Yankees, Israelis, and the Vatican can discover, and then we will respond! ”

"That's true. Since the Ark of the Covenant has always been in Aksum, it's not difficult for us to explain it to believers, and we don't have to worry too much about people's beliefs being shaken!"

Another priest continued.

After hearing this analysis, the others relaxed a little, and their expressions were not so ugly.

The same scene is happening simultaneously in the Ethiopian Presidential Palace and the highest leadership body of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

A conference room in the Presidential Palace.

The President of Ethiopia and a group of high-level government officials are watching the much-anticipated live broadcast of the treasure hunt.

Different from audiences in other countries and regions, each of them frowned, their eyes were full of worry, and there was even a hint of fear deep in their eyes.

When a live broadcast ends and cuts to the studio screen.

The Ethiopian president then looked back and said solemnly:

"It seems that we have to make some preparations to deal with a series of things that may happen next"

"Yes, Mr. President, if that **** Steven is really allowed to lead the team to find the Ark of the Covenant, there will likely be riots in our country, or even bigger things. We must be prepared in advance!"

The Prime Minister continued, his teeth itching with hatred.

The objects of his hatred are naturally the tripartite joint exploration team, Israel and the United States, the Vatican, and Ye Tian and his Brave and Fearless Exploration Company.

The Ethiopian president nodded and immediately began to issue orders.

“The police and military must be more vigilant and prepare to deal with possible large-scale protests and demonstrations, or even riots, and pay attention to protecting important government departments and key institutions.

Once a riot occurs, the situation must be brought under control as soon as possible, and the riot must not be allowed to expand. Try not to use force to suppress it. This situation is different from any other time."

"Understood, Mr. President, we will prepare immediately"

The heads of the military and police responded in unison.

"The news and propaganda department must increase its publicity efforts. Regardless of whether the Ark of the Covenant is in St. Mary's Church or not, this sacred object has been hidden in Axum. This can be used to make a fuss"

"That's right, Mr. President, if we start from this angle and conduct propaganda reports, maybe we can turn bad things into good things"

The person who responded this time was the head of the news and publicity department.

While the Ethiopian president and many of his subordinates were discussing countermeasures, some senior figures in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church were also worriedly discussing how to deal with the current situation.

"Notify all local churches and ask them to try their best to appease the emotions of the believers. Regardless of the results of the tripartite joint exploration team, there is no doubt that the Ark of the Covenant is in Axum. This must be emphasized again and again"

A senior Orthodox Church official said in a deep voice.

"Understand, we will definitely be able to fight this propaganda war and successfully survive this crisis"

The other senior Orthodox leaders nodded in response, but they were not very confident.

At the same time.

In the Vatican, in Jerusalem, and in many other places and different churches.

Many religious people are busy preparing for the upcoming important moment.

By then, countless wonderful dramas will be staged one after another.

Deep in the David's Satellite Cave, the scene of the exploration operation.

It took nearly an hour for this joint exploration team, composed of many exploration team members, experts and scholars, as well as representatives from various parties and media reporters, to descend into the Satellite Cave of David.

After everyone arrived and adapted to the environment in the cave, and after explaining the relevant precautions, Ye Tiancai decided to start the next step of exploration.

At this time, those who entered later had seen the stone door deep in the cave.

After everyone had finished visiting, Ye Tian asked them to temporarily exit this section of the cave and stand a little later for safety.

He himself came to the stone door and said through the intercom:

"Gentlemen, next I will open this stone door and launch the next phase of exploration. After opening the stone door, no matter what you see or find, you must control your emotions.

In particular, we must pay attention to the fact that everyone must protect themselves and do not take any extreme actions, which will only harm others and themselves, and jeopardize this tripartite joint exploration operation..."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed on a Star of David pattern on the right edge of the stone door, and then pushed inward.

As he moved, the stone engraved with the Star of David suddenly fell into the stone door.

Immediately afterwards, this stone door that had been sealed in dust for more than two thousand years was finally opened again.
