The area of this ancient Jewish temple ruins is actually not large, only about 100 square meters. This is the area formed after the collapse. It must have been smaller before the collapse.
Due to its age, only a few short stone walls of this temple remain standing stubbornly on the ground. The rest of the temple has long since fallen apart, and its original appearance can no longer be seen.
When he arrived here, Ye Tianxian asked his company employees to quickly scan the place with a pulse metal detector.
After confirming that there were no mines or other traps, everyone walked into the ruins.
Next, everyone spread out, each selected an area, and started exploring.
Ye Tian and an archaeologist from Columbia University came to a low stone wall to check the condition of the stone wall.
After a while, they discovered something.
On a granite foundation stone at the base of this stone wall, there are several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs engraved on it, as well as some strange patterns and decorations, most of which are various animal patterns, and the patterns of ancient Egyptian gods with animal heads and human bodies. different!
Compared with previous discoveries in Egypt, the hieroglyphs and patterns carved on this stone appear very rough and lack beauty, and are more like graffiti!
The figures in the pattern are closer to black people than to ancient Egyptians.
What is even more peculiar is that the images of giraffes and baboons also appear in these patterns, which are rarely seen in many historical and cultural sites in Egypt.
"Stephen, these ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns should have been carved by the Nubians, not the ancient Egyptians. Of course, they may also have been carved by the Israelis who were slaves.
Although the Nubian dynasty enjoyed nearly a hundred years of glory after conquering ancient Egypt, the time was still too short, and the influence of ancient Egyptian civilization on the Nubians was not particularly profound.
This can be determined from these unstandardized ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and the Nubians are black people, which are different from the ancient Egyptians, and there is a big difference in appearance.
These images of giraffes and baboons appear in ancient Egyptian patterns and murals, starting from the Nubian Dynasty. They were tributes paid by the Nubians to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt."
The Columbia University archaeologist said.
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but squatted down and looked at the granite foundation stone carefully, thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"You are right, Professor Howard. The ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and patterns on this granite foundation stone were engraved at least 2,500 years ago, when the Nubian dynasty returned from ancient Egypt to Sudan.
These things have certain historical and cultural research value and can be regarded as antique cultural relics. They can reflect part of the situation during the Nubian Dynasty and illustrate the influence of ancient Egyptian civilization on the Nubians.
The name Nubia comes from the ancient Egyptian word for gold. Before the rise of the Nubian dynasty, for a long time, the Nubians required ancient Egypt to pay tribute to a large number of slaves, gold, ivory, etc.… …”
"Indeed, it was not until the rise of the Nubian dynasty that the Nubians got rid of the fate of slavery and created a very unique and shining black pharaonic era in the history of ancient Egypt!"
Professor Howard nodded and said.
Next, they carefully examined other parts of the stone wall and discovered some writings and patterns, as well as historical traces.
Among these ancient texts and patterns, there are both ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and ancient Hebrew, as well as some symbols and texts whose meanings are not clear at all.
The parts of the text and patterns that could be translated did not reveal any information about Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, and were of little value.
At the same time, several other archaeologists and historians also made discoveries.
What they discovered were also some ancient texts and patterns carved on stones, some from the ancient Egyptian period, some from BC, and some from AD.
These characters are also different, from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, to ancient Hebrew, to ancient Arabic, and there are also some characters with unknown meanings that have been lost long ago!
In these words and patterns, no information about Solomon's treasure was found.
Such a result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.
In other parts of the valley, many employees of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company were divided into several groups, each holding a pulse metal detector and scanning the valley.
After a while, an excited voice came from the intercom.
"Steven, we found some metal objects buried underground. There are about four or five items. They are not buried very deep. You can come and take a look!"
"Okay, we'll go there right away"
Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and answered, then walked towards where the exploration team was.
The exploration team was not far away from him, seventy or eighty meters apart, and they would arrive in an instant.
Seeing them coming, the guy who reported the situation immediately said:
"Steven, right here, about three meters deep underground, we found some metal objects, four or five in total, piled together. We don't know what they are, so we asked you to come over and have a look."
As he spoke, this guy also scanned the ground with a pulse metal detector, and a pleasant chirping sound immediately sounded from the scene.
Ye Tian stepped forward, checked the detection data on the LCD, analyzed it secretly, then shook his head and said:
"Judging from their shapes, these metal objects buried deep underground should not be treasures. They are probably ancient weapons. In terms of burial depth, they have been buried here for at least 1,500 years.
These ancient weapons may have a certain value and are antique cultural relics, but they are not the goal of our trip. There is no need to expend manpower and material resources to excavate them, so just leave them to the Sudan! ”.
"Ah! It turned out to be some ancient weapons, we thought they were a treasure!"
Two company employees sighed in unison, somewhat disappointed.
"Treasures are not so easy to find, otherwise they would be worthless. Keep working"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
After chatting for a few words, he led the people away from here, returned to the center of the valley, and continued to explore the ruins.
More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The area located in the center of the valley has been explored, and there are no surprising discoveries.
Except for the words and patterns carved on the stones, nothing was found.
But this is normal. Before the tripartite joint exploration team came here, the Israelis and Sudanese had come here countless times and had already turned this place upside down.
If there is really any treasure hidden under the ruins in the middle of the valley, it would have been discovered by the Israelis and Sudanese long ago and would never have been retained until now.
After exploring this area, everyone spread out and continued to explore other places.
The result was the same. After an hour or two, there was still no surprising discovery.
During this period, many exploration teams under Ye Tian also scanned some metal objects buried deep underground.
But most of those metal objects exist in isolation and have nothing to do with each other. At most, they are just three or five items piled together, which are obviously not treasures.
After some analysis, Ye Tian was basically certain that those metal items were either ancient weapons, farm tools, or other metal products, such as bronzes.
For the three-party joint exploration team, as long as other treasures have nothing to do with Solomon's treasure and are not exciting, they are not worth digging and can only be left to the Sudanese.
As time goes by, the weather gets hotter and hotter.
Fortunately, there are still some shady places in the valley, and the exploration on the ground has basically been completed. Everyone can take turns to go to those shady places to rest for a while, which will not be so hard.
Ye Tian also returned to a palm tree and rested for a while.
While standing still to enjoy the cool air, he kept looking at the cliffs surrounding the valley to see what he could find.
Except for the northeast exit, the valley is surrounded by cliffs. The cliff on the west is the highest, nearly one hundred meters high, and the cliffs on the other two sides are about sixty or seventy meters high.
These three cliffs are very steep, as sharp as a knife or an axe, and they are bare, without even a tree.
That is to say, in Sudan, a remote and basically unknown place, if it were in Europe or America, it would have become a rock climbing resort and a paradise for countless adventurers to challenge themselves.
Ye Tian scanned all three cliffs, then thought for a moment, and then said to Joshua standing aside:
"As far as I know, Joshua, you have sent people to explore here more than once before. I wonder if you have explored these three cliffs? Have you discovered anything?"
Joshua did not respond to this question immediately. Instead, he discussed it in a low voice with an Israeli archaeologist next to him, and then the archaeologist came forward to answer the question.
"Yes, Steven, since we learned that this valley was where the ancestors of the Israelites once lived, we have indeed sent people to explore here several times to see if we can find anything.
However, apart from some stone carvings engraved with ancient Hebrew and various patterns, there were no other surprising discoveries. As for these three towering cliffs, we did not explore them carefully.
Initially, it was due to limited conditions. The three cliffs were very steep. In addition, our relationship with the Sudanese government had not been good. Most of the time, our two countries were in a state of hostility.
As a result, we cannot let go and launch exploration operations in this valley. We can only find ways to avoid the eyes of the Sudanese and explore quietly without making a big splash.
In the early 1980s, an exploration team from Israel entered this valley for the first time and began to explore. During that operation, they initially explored these three cliffs.
They used climbing ropes to slowly hang down from the top of the cliff. They took a rough look at the conditions on the three cliffs, but found nothing. Their subsequent actions were basically limited to the ground.
Until last year, another Israeli exploration team entered the valley and used a small drone to check the conditions of the three cliffs, but there was still no surprising discovery."
After listening to the introduction, Ye Tian fell silent and fell into thinking.
After thinking for about a minute or two, he said:
"Joshua, now that we have arrived in this valley, let's not let go of any possibility and explore all the places where treasures may be buried, including these three steep cliffs.
We can tie a few climbing ropes to the top of the cliff, hang them from above, straight down to the valley floor, take safety measures, and then let security team members with rock climbing experience go down the cliff to explore.
In addition, we can also use drones carrying small metal detectors to explore these three cliffs and scan them thoroughly to see if we can find anything. Maybe there will be a surprise! ”
Joshua first looked at the three steep cliffs, thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, since you said so, let's send people to explore these three steep cliffs. You will lead this tripartite joint exploration operation, so naturally you have the final say.
Our people are guarding the tops of these three cliffs. They can set up safety ropes on the top of the mountain, and then you can choose the exploration team to carry out this dangerous exploration mission."
Ye Tian nodded and then continued:
"Then it's settled, let me first take a good look at these three cliffs, determine the appropriate rappelling route, and then select a few experienced security personnel to rappel from the top to explore"
"Okay, Steven, it's all up to you!"
Joshua nodded in response, and everyone else on the scene also nodded, with no different opinions.
Next, Ye Tian called Matisse and the others over and began to assign tasks.
"Mattis, let the guys guarding the tops of the cliffs around the valley join the Israelis, choose a suitable location on the top of the cliff, set up ropes and safety facilities, and guard there!
In order to ensure the safety of the rappelling exploration team members, we not only need to set up safety ropes at the top of the cliff, but also drill pitons on these three cliffs, and also set up safety ropes at the bottom of the cliff for double insurance! ”
"No problem, Steven, leave these things to us, don't worry!"
Mattis nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to notify the security personnel hidden outside the valley.
Ye Tianze turned to Derek and said to this guy:
"Derek, take a few guys and bring three small drones over and fly the three cliffs thoroughly. I want to carefully check the conditions of the three cliffs and determine the appropriate rappelling route.
After you fly over these three cliffs, you will install a miniature metal detector on each small drone and scan these three steep cliffs thoroughly to see if you can find anything! ”
Before he finished speaking, Derek nodded excitedly and said:
"Understood, Steven, we will prepare now, you can just wait here for the results!"
After saying that, the boy turned around and left, taking several company employees with him, and went straight to the place where a large amount of exploration equipment was piled.
After a while, they took out three small drones and quickly debugged them. In a blink of an eye, they were ready to take off and explore.
"Okay, let's start!"
At the command, the three small drones immediately roared into the sky and flew straight to the three steep cliffs surrounding the valley.
Ye Tian was sitting in the shade of a palm tree, enjoying the coolness of the shade while watching the images returned by three small drones!
