The Orthodox monk guard guarding the Holy Martyrdom Chapel was taking a nap on a chair inside an arch of the chapel, his figure lonely and desolate.
From the day he walked into the Holy Martyrdom Chapel, he could never leave here again and could only live in this small place for the rest of his life!
It can be said that he is an extremely devout monk and believer, or he can be regarded as a prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment, which is both respectable and pathetic!
Ye Tian looked at the devout monk, and then shifted his gaze to the Holy of Holies located in the center of the chapel.
His sight instantly penetrated the wall and directly saw the situation inside the Holy of Holies.
The first thing that appeared in his eyes was a bronze altar about one and a half meters high. In the center of the altar was a seven-branch gilt candlestick with seven candles on it.
Behind this gilt candlestick hangs a crucifix.
And directly in front of the bronze altar, there was a gilt washbasin, which looked golden, but was empty inside.
The sight extends further forward to a golden vertical board similar to a screen, which is equally magnificent.
Through this golden vertical board, you can see an exquisite gold lampstand, a display table with some gold utensils, and a golden incense altar made of pure gold.
Continuing forward, there is another golden vertical board.
Behind this golden vertical board should be the most sacred object in the hearts of all Jewish and Christian believers, the Ark of the Covenant!
In Yisilan religion, the Ark of the Covenant is also a sacred object.
When Ye Tian's eyes penetrated the golden vertical board and saw what was placed behind him, he couldn't help but pause.
The next moment, a smile flashed in his eyes, fleeting.
Every item stored in this Holy of Holies has a very long history, is very exquisite, and is priceless.
This Holy of Holies was built entirely according to the Holy of Holies that housed the Ark of the Covenant in the legendary Solomon's Temple. It looks very ancient.
But it is not the Holy of Holies in Solomon's Temple!
The things stored inside are not the original ones.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian thoroughly looked through the Holy Martyrdom Chapel without missing any corner.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes moved downward, looking towards the underground of the Holy Martyrdom Chapel, and began to see through the depths of the underground to see if he could find anything.
After a moment, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
This look of surprise disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a bit of helplessness.
Obviously, there are indeed some major secrets hidden deep underground in this Holy Martyrdom Chapel.
Unfortunately, these secrets may never see the light of day again!
The Holy Martyrdom Chapel standing on the ground will forever suppress these secrets.
Unless one day the Holy Martyrdom Chapel completely collapses, and during renovation and reconstruction, people will be able to discover the secret hidden deep underground.
In other places in the Holy Martyrdom Chapel, Ye Tian also discovered something.
But these discoveries were out of reach, and their value was not great enough for him to risk sneaking into the Holy Martyrdom Chapel to secretly excavate these discoveries.
After looking through the entire Holy Martyrdom Chapel, Ye Tian and David walked around the religious building again, admiring it carefully before ending their visit.
"Let's go, David, let's go see the old St. Mary's Church on Mount Zion, which is also a famous religious building worth visiting"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and then walked towards the old St. Mary's Church of Mount Zion not far away.
David and the others followed immediately, including the Orthodox monk who was responsible for explaining.
The rest of the Orthodox monks and believers who were staring closely at Ye Tian and the others also followed.
When they arrived at this ancient religious building, Ye Tian and the others stopped and started to visit carefully.
The Orthodox monk who followed was explaining from the side.
"Since the church of St. Mary of Mount Zion was built in the fourth century AD, the church has suffered many disasters. In 976 AD, in order to resist the Christian missionaries who continued to expand southward.
A Jewish queen named Yudit Gudit sent troops north to attack Aksum and burned down the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion. The church was later rebuilt on an even larger scale.
The rebuilt church at that time had 5 naves and a long dome. Unfortunately, the newly built church of St. Mary of Mount Zion was destroyed by the Nazi invaders Achmer in 1535. Germany burned.
Emperor Galudivos rebuilt the Church of Santa Maria on Mount Zion on a very small scale, and then it was expanded by Emperor Minas. In the early 17th century, Emperor Fasilidas completely rebuilt the church,
What you are seeing now is the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion rebuilt by Emperor Fasilidas. In order to distinguish it from the newly built church in 1964, it is also called the Old Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion."
While the Orthodox monk was explaining, Ye Tian turned on his clairvoyance again and began to explore this ancient church.
In an instant, the situation inside the church appeared in his eyes.
In this ancient church, there were only two or three clergy, and no other monks or believers. It was empty and very quiet.
Like many churches I have visited before, this church also has many murals.
The contents drawn above are all derived from biblical stories, but the characters are based on black people, which is very special.
As usual, there are some religious items in the church, such as crosses and altars.
There are also rows of wooden seats, which look nothing special and even a little dilapidated.
But in Ye Tian's eyes, he saw many objects radiating different colors and lights.
No need to ask, those items are all antiques and works of art from different eras, and their values vary.
In addition to these antique relics and works of art, he also saw some valuable gold products placed on the main altar of the church.
In just a moment, Ye Tian had thoroughly inspected this ancient church.
Immediately afterwards, his sight penetrated into the ground and began to check the situation deep underground.
When his sight reached about five meters below the main altar, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It is a treasure buried deep underground. Although it is not large in scale, it is still a good surprise.
Hidden in this treasure are both gold products and various other antiques, including some from ancient Egypt.
And these things are quite old, most of them can be traced back to before the fifteenth century. They radiate a beautiful light and are fascinating.
Unfortunately, this is another treasure that is out of reach and there is no possibility of exploration and excavation.
There is no way that the numerous monks from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion would allow the three-party joint exploration team to enter this ancient church to explore, let alone excavate this treasure.
Since this treasure cannot be excavated, and it is very likely that this treasure will be buried forever and never see the light of day again, Ye Tian naturally does not need to be polite.
After basically grasping the situation of this treasure, he began to absorb the aura of the antique cultural relics and works of art in the treasure to supplement himself.
However, he still left a little room to absorb at most half of the aura of each antique artifact and artwork, instead of absorbing all of it.
The reason why he did this was to leave a glimmer of hope for these antique cultural relics and works of art, hoping that they would not completely decay when they see the light of day again.
In the following time, he looked through the depths of the underground of this ancient church without missing any corner.
Under this ancient church, he not only discovered a treasure, but also discovered a hidden tunnel and several secret rooms, as well as other unknown secrets.
Especially the secret tunnels leading to the Holy Martyrdom Chapel and Mount Zion behind it.
It can be inferred from this that it was probably an escape passage, or a secret tunnel for transferring the Ark of the Covenant.
Once the Church of Saint Mary of Mount Zion and the Holy Martyrdom Chapel are attacked and cannot be defended, the Orthodox monks can quickly move the Ark to other places through tunnels to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.
Perhaps this is the reason why Aksum has been attacked by enemies many times in history, but the Ark of the Covenant enshrined in the Holy Martyrdom Chapel has never been taken away.
Beyond these, nothing else was discovered.
After completing the perspective, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze and quietly admired the ancient church.
They circled the ancient church twice before leaving and walking towards the garden not far away.
In that garden, there are also some ancient religious buildings worth admiring.
During this process, Ye Tian thoroughly examined every piece of ground he walked on and discovered something.
However, only he knew about these discoveries, and no one else knew anything about them.
Time passed quickly, and nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The negotiations at the New Zion St. Mary's Church finally ended. After receiving the news, Ye Tian and the others also ended their visit and walked towards the church.
When they entered the church again, Joshua and Bishop Kent were already inside the church, discussing something in a low voice.
Seeing Ye Tian come in, Joshua and Bishop Kent nodded to him together, with a bit of excitement in their eyes.
At the same time, the company employee and assistant lawyer who attended the meeting on behalf of Brave Exploration Company also nodded at Ye Tian.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian understood immediately.
The result of the negotiation was not bad, and the interests of my company were also guaranteed.
Of course, Israel and the Vatican must have paid something or made some promises.
When Ye Tian and the others came closer, the governor of Tigray immediately asked impatiently:
"Steven, did you discover anything when you visited the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion? Are there any treasures hidden around the Church of St. Mary of Zion?
It is said that you are always favored by God. No matter where you go, you will find unknown treasures and create a breathtaking miracle! ”
"Of course I found treasures, and there are more than one, but these treasures cannot be dug out, and I cannot tell anyone, only I know them!"
Ye Tian secretly complained, but what came out of his mouth was something else.
"That is just a rumor, it is too exaggerated! In previous exploration operations, we did find some treasures, but they were not as exaggerated as the rumors.
I didn’t find much around the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion. This may be because the time was too short to explore seriously, so I gained nothing.
This is an ancient church with a very long history and a very important position. According to my speculation, there are probably some unknown secrets hidden here."
Hearing his words, the governor of Tigray couldn't help but have a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Tigray is about to go to war with the Ethiopian government. At this time, he certainly hopes to find a few more treasures, so that he will be more confident and can buy more weapons and ammunition.
Unfortunately, he didn't hear the answer he wanted.
The reactions of other Ethiopians ranged from disappointment to secret joy.
Next, Ye Tian and the others stayed in the church for a while, then left and took the bus back to the hotel.
Just like when they came, everyone left under countless hostile eyes and boarded many bulletproof armored vehicles parked at the door of the church.
The ride back to the hotel was smooth and no accidents occurred.
However, more and more Orthodox believers and monks gathered on the streets of Aksum.
Not long after, the three-party joint exploration team returned to the hotel.
The situation at the hotel is the same, even more exaggerated than when I left before.
Many Orthodox believers and monks came after hearing the news, and the place was surrounded by water.
They were all protesting loudly and even yelling unbridled curses, trying to drive away the tripartite joint exploration team.
But they did not launch an attack or take any other drastic action. They probably did not receive the order.
When entering the hotel, Joshua whispered to Ye Tian:
"Steven, we have reached an agreement with the Tigray state government and Orthodox people, and they have promised to control the behavior of these Orthodox monks and believers in the city.
In other words, it won’t be long before these fanatical Orthodox believers and monks around the hotel will disperse and will not continue to protest and shout curses here! ”
"That's perfect. This kind of scene is really annoying and very dangerous. Just a spark can detonate these angry Ethiopians and make the situation out of control!"
Ye Tian nodded and pointed at the crowd of protesters outside the hotel.
After going upstairs, Joshua and Bishop Kent went directly to Ye Tian's suite to inform him of the results of the meeting and discuss the upcoming joint exploration operation.
"After some negotiations, we reached an agreement with the Tigray state government and the top leaders of the Orthodox Church. The three-party joint exploration team can carry out exploration operations in Aksum without interference from Orthodox monks and believers.
However, no matter what the tripartite joint exploration team finds in Aksum, even if it is a stone from ancient times, the Tigray state government and senior Orthodox people must be notified immediately.
Their representatives must supervise the subsequent excavation and cleanup work and a series of follow-up exploratory actions on site. If the excavation and cleanup are destructive, they have the right to stop at any time..."
Joshua said in a deep voice, introducing the results of the talks.
After listening to his introduction, Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"No problem, we can accept these conditions, but as a result, the subsequent joint exploration operations will definitely be greatly restricted, and the progress will naturally be slowed down.
But there is nothing we can do about it. As far as the current situation in Aksum is concerned, without the cooperation of the Tigray state government and the top leaders of the Orthodox Church, we will be unable to make progress! ”
After the words fell, Bishop Kent immediately continued:
“It can be seen from the attitude of the top leaders of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church that the Ark of the Covenant enshrined in the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion is real or fake? They also have doubts.
If we really find the Ark of the Covenant in Aksum, it is actually not a bad thing for them. They can completely claim that the Ark of the Covenant has always been in Aksum.
However, due to the changes in history, in order to better protect the Ark of the Covenant, the Orthodox ancestors hid the Ark somewhere in Aksum and made a fake Ark of the Covenant instead.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the real Ark being snatched away. Our discovery of the real Ark in Axum just illustrates this point. They can completely justify themselves! ”
"But have you ever thought about it? Joshua, Bishop of Kent, if we really found the Ark of the Covenant, how would you take away that most holy thing?"
Ye Tian pointed out the most critical issue.
After the words fell, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent were both stunned for a moment.
Afterwards, Joshua explained.
“We discussed this with the Ethiopians and reached several agreements, which cannot be disclosed to the outside world yet!”
"In this case, I won't ask anymore. I hope the agreement you reach will satisfy all parties!"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
While saying this, he was already convinced that the Ethiopians were probably going to be fooled.
