Hernando woke up first and then asked expectantly:
"Steven, where is the outside of this secret passage? Is it the legendary golden city of the Mayan Empire?"
With his words, everyone at the scene woke up and looked at Ye Tian, everyone was full of expectations.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then smiled and said loudly:
"Rather than asking me to say it, it is better for everyone to walk out of this secret passage and see it with your own eyes, which will be more shocking. I believe that this moment will be recorded in history forever and is worth remembering forever.
I have cleaned up the exit. Not only have I cut off the obstructive branches and shrubs, but I have also driven away the small animals hiding in the bushes. It is very safe here, so you can rest assured! ”
As he spoke, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Faced with his invitation, these guys in the secret passage were not polite. Everyone immediately rushed towards the exit of the secret passage, fearing to fall behind others.
This will inevitably cause congestion, which will actually slow down the speed.
Fortunately, everyone is an adult and knows each other, so there will be no quarrels.
Soon, Professor Delgado and others who were walking at the front took the lead to walk out of the secret passage and arrived outside the secret passage, while the others could only wait in line patiently behind.
As soon as they walked out of the secret passage, Professor Delgado and the others seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock. They froze on the spot, staring at everything in front of them with their mouths open, their eyes full of incredulity and madness.
What appeared in front of them was a small basin shaped like a crater. In other words, it was a crater, but it had died long ago and had not erupted for at least thousands of years.
This ancient crater is irregular in shape, with a diameter of only four to five hundred meters at its widest point and only over a hundred meters at its narrowest point.
Perhaps because this basin was formed very long ago, or perhaps because there were many early eruptions, and a large amount of volcanic ash and solidified lava accumulated in the basin, making the terrain here relatively gentle.
From the lowest point in the center of the basin to the highest peaks around the basin, the drop does not seem to be large, only less than a hundred meters.
The large accumulation of volcanic ash in the basin is rich in nutrients and makes the vegetation here grow very lush.
Looking around, the basin is full of greenery, with towering trees tens of meters high and colorful, lush flowers and trees everywhere!
In the huge canopy of trees that reach into the sky, there are many beautiful birds living and singing happily.
In the dense vegetation at the bottom of the rainforest and in the dark depths of the rainforest, there are many animals of all sizes living.
From time to time, one or two animals will fly through the forest, leaving only a dark shadow.
The location where Ye Tian and Professor Delgado are located is halfway up the mountain on the east side of the basin. At the exit of this secret passage is a platform that protrudes outward. Everyone is standing on this platform at the moment.
It is precisely because of the location and protrusion of this platform that it is not obscured by the towering trees in the basin, and natural light falls from the sky and shines into this secret passage.
Due to the passage of time, this ancient platform has been overgrown with shrubs and flowers, completely covering up its original appearance.
If you look down from the air, it is impossible for anyone to discover this platform, nor the secret passage behind the platform. You can only see a piece of green, no different from other places.
Fortunately, the three-party joint exploration team came from the heart of the mountain instead of overlooking it from the top of the mountain around the basin, so this problem naturally did not exist.
Ye Tian, who discovered and arrived at the platform first, had roughly cleared away the shrubs, flowers and plants here, and used the engineer shovel he carried with him to shovel away part of the soil on the platform.
Judging from the shoveled area, the platform was obviously deliberately trimmed. The granite floor was relatively flat, and the stone slabs seemed to be engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns.
Not only the ground, but also the entrance to the secret passage behind everyone has been trimmed into a square shape. It looks like a door rather than the entrance to a cave.
This stone gate is also engraved with many Mayan hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns. Right above the stone gate, there is a head of a sun **** carved condescendingly, overlooking the entire basin.
Due to the fact that it has been abandoned for so long, just like the situation on this platform, the stone door is also surrounded by shrubs, as well as various flowers and trees with extremely strong vitality, covering most of the cave entrance.
Because of this, this stone gate looked like a cave at first sight. After Ye Tian's cleaning, it more or less restored its original appearance.
The platform we are on is about thirty square meters in size. The front and sides, as well as the slopes behind, are filled with dense rainforest, completely surrounding the platform.
In front of this platform, as well as on the left and right sides, there are granite steps, either long or short, leading to the dense rainforest below.
These steps were originally covered by soil and vegetation, but now Ye Tian cleared a path, so everyone could see the mottled granite steps.
The stairs in front of the platform are the longest. Go down the granite stairs and walk about seven or eight meters. You will find a square building similar to a temple, but this building has turned into a pile of ruins.
It was this temple building that had long been turned into ruins that made those guys who had just come out of the secret passage stunned and froze on the spot, their eyes full of madness.
The reason why this happened is very simple, because the abandoned Mayan temple was entirely made of gold.
The vines that originally covered the ruins of the temple had been chopped off by Ye Tian with a jungle machete, torn off the ruins and thrown away, revealing the overall outline of the temple.
On the outside of the ruins, there is a pillar standing on the ground. The moss and dust on it have been partially cleaned up by Ye Tian, revealing the gold covering it underneath.
It was the piece of gold on the pillars that radiated so brightly that everyone on the platform was stunned and almost crazy.
"Papa"
Ye Tian clapped his hands gently, waking up these sluggish guys.
The next moment, the platform everyone was on was boiling.
"Wow! Don't tell me that the temple below is entirely made of gold? Although the temple doesn't look big, to build such a temple, the amount of gold used is definitely an astronomical amount. Numbers! ”
"A Mayan temple built of gold! Is this really the legendary golden city of the Mayan Empire? Have we really found the most mysterious and huge legendary treasure in the American continent?"
There were exclamations at the scene, and everyone here was so excited that they even started dancing.
Ye Tian looked at these almost crazy guys, then nodded decisively and said:
"So far, although I have only discovered this Mayan temple made of gold, I am very sure that this is the golden city of the Mayan Empire that has been spread for hundreds of thousands of years in Central and South America!
In this small volcanic basin and in the lush tropical rainforest below, there must be more Mayan architectural ruins hidden, as well as an even bigger treasure!
Ladies and gentlemen, the mission of this joint exploration operation has been successfully accomplished. This is the golden city of the Mayan Empire that we have worked hard to find. This moment will forever be recorded in history!
Next, we will pass through the golden temple, follow the stairs built by the ancient Mayans, and walk into the depths of this tropical rain forest, where there are huge treasures waiting for everyone to discover."
As soon as the words fell, the scene exploded.
"Awesome! We finally found the legendary Golden City of the Mayan Empire!"
Bursts of almost crazy cheers suddenly sounded, resounding throughout the tropical rainforest and the entire basin.
