In the main church, the exploration operation has begun.
According to Ye Tian's assignment, seven or eight exploration teams of two people quickly dispersed to different areas of the church and began to use the pulse metal detectors they brought to scan the ground and walls to explore for treasures.
Ye Tian himself was not idle either. He lowered his head and looked at the ground at his feet, pretending to be looking for clues about the treasure seriously.
The three Portuguese people responsible for on-site supervision followed closely behind him, watching his every move, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, everyone has discovered something.
"Stephen, come here and take a look at this granite floor. Engraved on it is a mysterious symbol unique to the Knights Templar, which is similar to the mysterious symbols we have seen in several other places before"
The voice of Bishop Kent came over, sounding quite excited.
He and two other senior Vatican monks were also exploring just three or four meters away, and were currently studying a piece of granite on the floor.
Hearing his words, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look over there and walked over there.
The rest of the people at the scene also looked towards Bishop Kent, with a look of surprise flashing in everyone's eyes.
Did you find a treasure? The surprise came a little too quickly!
In a few steps, Ye Tian came to Bishop Kent and the others. Following the direction of Bishop Kent's finger, he looked at the irregular granite floor on the ground.
On this granite floor, there is indeed a mysterious symbol unique to the Knights Templar engraved on it. It looks a bit like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, but it is paradoxical. No one understands the meaning!
In addition, on another adjacent granite floor, there is half a remaining Malta cross. Although it has been eroded over the years and has been stepped on by countless people, its outline is still clearly visible.
Seeing this half Malta cross, everyone immediately understood one thing.
At some time in the past, the ground of this church has been touched or renovated. Some of the granite floors originally laid in the church have been replaced, and some have been replaced due to damage. part.
The color, texture, and shape of the granite floors on the ground, as well as the many traces of repairs, are enough to prove this!
The floor engraved with mysterious symbols is relatively well preserved, but only half of the floor engraved with half a Malta cross is left, and the other half has long since disappeared.
After quickly scanning the situation on the floor, Ye Tian nodded and said:
"Yes, this is indeed the mysterious symbol of the Knights Templar. It is in the same vein as the mysterious symbols we found in several other places. Unfortunately, we just don't know its meaning!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian squatted down and gently touched the mysterious symbol carved on the floor with his hand.
The rest of the people also looked at the mysterious symbol, confused, secretly guessing what it represented.
After observing for a while, Ye Tian looked up at Father Ramirez and asked curiously:
"Father Ramírez, as we all know, the Portuguese Jesuits grew out of the Portuguese Chapter of the Knights Templar, and for a long time Tomar was the headquarters of the Jesuits.
This is the Cathedral of Tomar again. According to common sense, these mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar should be inherited by the Portuguese Jesuits. I wonder if you recognize this mysterious symbol? ”
Hearing this, Father Ramirez and Sister Sofia couldn't help but blush, obviously a little embarrassed.
"I am disappointed, Steven. I do not recognize this mysterious symbol. As far as I know, no one in the Portuguese Jesuits knows these mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar.
Yes, the Portuguese Jesuits were indeed born out of the Portuguese branch of the Knights Templar, but much of the mysterious and esoteric knowledge of the Knights Templar has not been passed down and has long been lost.
In this church, there are many mysterious symbols like this, some are engraved on the granite floor, some are engraved on the walls, and even the altar has such mysterious symbols.
According to records, in the early eighteenth century, the ground here was renovated once, and part of the damaged granite floor was replaced. Otherwise, there would be more mysterious symbols of unknown meaning."
Father Ramirez introduced the situation, but it was of no use.
"That's such a shame. In that case, we don't have to spend time and energy studying the meaning of this mysterious symbol. Let's just scan it with a metal detector and see if we can find anything!"
Ye Tian continued, with a hint of regret in his tone.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed at the granite floor in front of him and asked the two employees following him to scan it with a pulse metal detector.
The results of the scan were disappointing. There were no metal objects under these granite floors, and the pulse metal detector did not respond at all.
To be precise, there are no buried metal objects from the ground down to a depth of about six and a half meters underground.
As for whether there are metal objects deeper underground, that is unknown!
However, the east does not light and the west does!
Just when everyone was feeling a little disappointed, a pleasant chirp from a pulse metal detector suddenly came from not far away. It sounded like the sound of nature and was very moving.
Immediately afterwards, a surprised voice came over.
"Steven, we have detected a very strong metal signal at a depth of about two meters underground. You'd better come and take a look, maybe it's a treasure"
Hearing this, Ye Tian hesitated and immediately walked over there.
David and the Bishop of Kent, as well as the three Portuguese, followed one after another, and everyone's footsteps were extremely brisk.
While talking, Ye Tian had already walked to the detection team.
He did not immediately look at the LCD screen of the pulse metal detector to check and analyze the detected metal signal, but looked at the ground where the metal signal was detected.
As expected!
On this ground, he once again saw the granite floor engraved with the mysterious symbol of the Knights Templar, but this mysterious symbol was different from the previous one.
After quickly scanning the ground, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at the LCD screen of the pulse metal detector, and began to analyze the detected metal signals!
At this time, David and the three Portuguese also followed. Everyone looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to his analysis results!
In just a moment, Ye Tian came to a conclusion.
"Unfortunately, although this is a small treasure, it does not have much excavation value, at least for our joint exploration team. Our goal is the Knights Templar treasure.
Based on the analysis of the metal signals scanned by the pulse metal detector, the metal object buried deep underground is most likely a Templar knight. He should be wearing a full set of Crusader knight equipment.
The reason why I say this is that I analyzed it from the length, width and posture of this metal object. This Templar, wearing a full set of knight's equipment, should have been buried in a coffin.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should have a Crusader knight sword in front of him, a triangular knight shield on his side, and a knight helmet on his head, just like the Guardim outside. ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian put his hands on his chest and made a sleeping posture with a knight's sword in his hands, which looked very vivid.
Before everyone responded, he continued:
“This is the church built by Guardim Pais. It can also be said to be the church of the Templars. In the Middle Ages, this kind of church was often the place where the Templars rested after their death.
Not only the Templars, but also in the Western world, many historic churches have the tombs of many celebrities, such as Michelangelo, who is buried in the Santa Croce Church in Florence.
The Templar knight who is qualified to be buried in this church must not be an ordinary person. His Crusader equipment may be valuable, and there may be many wonderful stories about him.
However, out of respect for the deceased, I do not plan to excavate this treasure. This is not my style. As for whether others will excavate, it has nothing to do with us."
After hearing his analysis, everyone at the scene nodded slightly and had no different opinions.
The only exception is the Portuguese archaeologist.
This guy's eyes suddenly lit up, a look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he was even ready to move.
It seems that the saying is absolutely correct. To a certain extent, archaeologists are legal tomb robbers.
The Portuguese archaeologist in front of him has obviously begun to have an idea of the Templar Knight who is sleeping deep underground, and is preparing to dig his grave!
