Search for Treasure Worldwide Chapter 3105: Shocking discovery
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
We were not obsessed with studying the newly discovered ancient Hebrew texts and stone carvings, but instead handed this task over to other archaeologists and paleographers in the exploration team.
After roughly exploring the inside of the cave entrance, everyone is ready to explore the depths of the cave.
Same as before, Ye Tian first checked the situation ahead.
After confirming that there were no traps or other fatal dangers, everyone started taking action.
Subsequently, Ye Tian took the lead with two of his men and took the lead, walking cautiously deeper into the cave.
During the operation, he will carefully check every inch of the ground in front of him, the surrounding cave walls, and the cave ceiling above to see if there are any deadly traps or other dangers in these places.
The two men followed closely, scanning the ground and cave walls with pulse metal detectors to see if there were any hidden metal objects.
In addition, they have another mission.
That is to lay out electrical wiring and lighting fixtures.
The rest of the people followed, going deeper into the cave step by step.
Fortunately, there are no traps here. Apart from the toxic environment, there seems to be no other dangers.
In fact, in a desperate place like this, there is no need to set up any traps.
Without understanding of the internal environment of the cave and without complete protective measures, anyone who enters this long-term closed cave will be instantly infected!
What’s even more frightening is that this is a silent attack.
By the time the person being attacked realizes that something is wrong, it is already too late!
It is only the tripartite joint exploration team led by Ye Tian that acts in a flawless manner, so it can avoid this kind of harm!
Any other exploration team would have been tricked!
Not far ahead, everyone began to go downhill, following the winding cave and gradually entering the depths of the mountain.
Wherever this small joint exploration team went, the darkness was immediately dispelled, and the situation inside the cave was immediately displayed in front of everyone's eyes and on the live broadcast screen.
During the subsequent exploration process, everyone gradually discovered some ancient Hebrew texts and stone murals carved on the cave walls, as well as some stone statues.
Similar to the previous approach, Ye Tian and the others did not study these ancient texts, murals, and sculptures in depth.
Instead, they were all photographed and sent back to the top and bottom of the cliff for other archaeologists and paleographers to study.
The difference is that these ancient texts, murals, and statues that were subsequently discovered had some technical processing done during the live broadcast, making the images blurry.
This is for confidentiality reasons and to protect the interests of the tripartite joint exploration team, especially the interests of the experts and scholars within the team.
There is no doubt that this series of discoveries will bring about many heavyweight academic research results, and naturally they cannot be disclosed at will.
Faced with this situation, the experts and scholars who were watching the treasure hunt live broadcast were filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do!
Ten minutes passed while I was talking.
Ye Tian and the others were already fifteen or six meters deep into the cave, and had also descended three to four meters.
At this time, when I turned my head and looked back, I could no longer see the entrance to the cliff, only a winding section of the cave.
This is another new cave, much more organized than the previous ones.
Both the ground and the surrounding cave walls have been artificially smoothed.
After arriving here, Ye Tian quickly checked the situation.
After confirming that there were no traps, cracks or branch caves, he nodded to the people behind him to start exploring.
Seeing him nod, Owen and the others immediately took action.
In a moment, everyone has discovered something.
"Steven, look at this stone mural. The content engraved on it should come from the "Old Testament" story, but the carving style has a bit of African culture, which is very interesting"
Owen said excitedly.
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately walked over and looked at the stone mural carved on the cave wall.
As Owen said, the content on that stone mural does come from the Old Testament.
This is a very famous religious story. Joshua led the Israelites to the Promised Land.
Besides this mural, there are also some variations of ancient Hebrew inscribed.
Due to the age, these ancient characters and patterns are somewhat blurry, but fortunately most of them can still be identified.
Had it been discovered a few hundred years later, it might have been completely unrecognizable.
Just after checking the texts and murals here, the Israeli archaeologist also discovered a set of ancient texts and stone murals on the opposite cave wall.
And the contents of those stone carvings and murals are also derived from stories in the Old Testament, but they have a bit of African cultural flavor.
As before, Ye Tian and the others took pictures of all these ancient texts and murals, and then sent them to the top and bottom of the cliff for other archaeologists and philologists to study.
Next, everyone discovered some words and murals carved on the cave walls.
Those variants of ancient Hebrew are temporarily unreadable and difficult to translate immediately.
But apart from being a little blurry, those stone carvings and murals are not difficult to identify.
Some of the contents of the murals are derived from stories in the Old Testament, while others reflect the daily life, hunting, farming, sacrifices and other scenes of the Beta Israelites.
In addition, there are some stone sculptures.
Most of these stone carvings are very rough and cannot even be considered artistic, but they are old enough and worthy of careful study.
For the Israelis, especially the Beta Israelites, it's a different story.
This is their history and civilization, and every piece is priceless.
Along the way, the joint exploration team discovered many ancient texts, patterns, and sculptures, but no clues related to Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant were found.
There may be some clues hidden in those difficult ancient Hebrew texts.
It is a pity that everyone does not have time to interpret and decipher those words, so we can only continue to explore forward.
Then they walked forward for a while, and after turning a corner, everyone saw the two statues of ancient warriors holding spears and shields.
Everyone was very excited when they saw these two statues.
The same goes for the countless viewers on the live broadcast, with their eyes shining brightly.
Next, Ye Tian took the lead to step forward to check the situation.
After confirming that there were no traps, others followed to study and appreciate these two ancient statues.
As they came closer, everyone first looked at the two statues, then took out towels and gently wiped the dust off the statues.
Soon, the dust on the two statues was wiped clean, and their shapes and outlines suddenly became much clearer.
As everyone has judged before, these are two statues of ancient Israeli warriors, but they have a certain African cultural flavor.
They are carved from marble, not the original rock in the cave.
In other words, these two statues were brought into this cave from the outside and placed here.
In other words, the stone was brought in from outside and carved on the spot.
But considering the environment in the cave, this possibility seems low.
Ye Tian stepped forward and examined the two marble statues carefully, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"According to my judgment, these two ancient Israelite warrior statues should have been carved around 100 BC, then transported into this secret cave and placed here.
Around 100 BC, the Israelites who followed Menelik I to Ethiopia had taken root here and gradually integrated with the locals.
Because of this, in these two ancient Israeli warrior statues, we can see not only the main Jewish culture, but also the more obvious African cultural colors."
"Yes, Steven, we can see a lot of things on these two ancient Israelite warrior statues. They are so precious!"
The Israeli archaeologist said excitedly.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and continued:
"Yes, these are two very precious antique artifacts with high historical and cultural research value. By studying them, we can get a glimpse of the formation of the Beta Israelites.
More importantly, the discovery of these two statues is enough to show that as early as around 100 BC, this cave had been discovered by the Beta Israelites and used to hide secrets! ”
Everyone nodded in approval.
On the top of the cliff and the campsite opposite the canyon, cheers rang out again.
Especially many Beta Israelis were even more excited.
Next, Ye Tian and the others admired the two marble statues for a while, and then continued to explore forward.
The next section of the cave guarded by these two statues of ancient Israeli warriors is flatter than the previous cave, which is obviously caused by man-made changes.
On both sides of this section of the cave, we discovered some ancient texts, stone carvings and murals, as well as two rusty bronze candlesticks.
Different from those stone carvings and murals discovered before, the stone carvings and murals here are clearly distinguished.
The murals engraved on the cave wall on the left are all derived from stories in the Old Testament. It can even be said that this is a collection of stories from the Old Testament, which is quite shocking.
The murals engraved on the cave wall on the right are scenes of the Beta Israelites taking root and thriving in Ethiopia. They are first-hand information for studying the Beta Israelites.
As for those difficult variants of ancient Hebrew, they still cannot be deciphered in time.
The discovery of this series of ancient murals and texts directly detonated all live broadcasts.
Especially the archaeologists and historians were all pleasantly surprised.
"Oh my God! This is simply an Old Testament carved in stone, a history of the development of the Beta Israelites. It's so spectacular!"
"There is no doubt that this is a great archaeological discovery that shocked the world and will definitely go down in history!"
In the cave, exploration continues.
Ye Tian and the others passed through an arc, and in a blink of an eye they were in front of the stone door they had discovered before.
The moment they saw this stone gate, everyone paused.
At this moment, Ye Tian, who was walking at the front, suddenly made a stop gesture.
Seeing his gesture, others couldn't stop immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian began to check the ground in front, as well as the cave walls and ceiling on both sides.
The two exploration team members holding pulse metal detectors used detection coils to scan the ground and cave walls.
Similar to the places we have traveled before, there are no man-made traps here, nor are there any naturally formed traps such as cracks.
After making sure it was safe, everyone came to the stone gate.
Ye Tian checked the situation again and then said:
"Gentlemen, you can wipe off the dust on this stone door and the cave walls on both sides, but you must be careful. If you find anything wrong, stop immediately"
"Got it, Steven, we know what to do"
Owen nodded in response, and the others also nodded.
Then everyone took action.
In a moment, Owen and the others had wiped away large amounts of dust on both sides of the cave walls.
Suddenly, several of them stopped in unison and froze on the spot.
Except for Ye Tian, everyone else was also dumbfounded.
The people who were watching the treasure hunt live broadcast basically had the same behavior. They were all completely stunned by the live broadcast in front of them.
What appeared on the live broadcast screen were two sets of ancient stone murals.
The content engraved on the cave wall on the left side of the stone gate is still derived from the story of the "Old Testament".
This story is extraordinary. What it depicts is the scene of Moses climbing Mount Sinai and receiving the Ten Commandments from God on the top of the mountain.
Moses, who was on the top of Mount Sinai, was kneeling on the ground, looking up to the sky, and extending his left hand to the sky, holding several stone slabs in his right hand.
In the sky above his head, there was a bright golden light, and a stone tablet full of words poked out from the clouds, and it was about to fall into Moses' hands.
Who handed these tablets to Moses is not explained in the mural.
But everyone knows the answer.
Beside this mural of "Moses Accepting the Ten Commandments", there is another mural, which is the "Burning Bush".
That is the story of Moses’ first contact with God and receiving divine revelation.
Moses in the mural is also kneeling on the ground, raising his hands in front of him, as if to avoid the scorching fire.
Not far ahead is a burning thorn bush, but it is shining with holy light!
On the opposite cave wall, there is also a set of murals carved on it.
In the center of the largest mural, a tall and magnificent temple is engraved. The temple is located on the top of the mountain, emitting dazzling light.
However, there was chaos inside and outside the temple, with burning, killing and looting everywhere.
While others were burning, killing and looting, someone led a group of men into the temple and took advantage of the chaos to steal the things stored in the temple.
Two of the guys in robes were carrying something like a box.
More importantly, the box still radiates bright light.
Among these two sets of murals, "Moses Accepts the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Bush" are actually not uncommon.
People have seen countless murals, oil paintings, and other works of art with the same theme, and they have long been commonplace, and more exquisite ones can be found everywhere.
But putting these two murals in this cave is another matter.
No one has ever seen the set of murals on the upper cave wall on the right.
People have only heard historical stories related to it, but not many people believe it.
Many people think that it is just a myth and a myth!
People never thought that one day they would see such a set of stone murals.
However, what everyone originally thought was a myth may now become a fact.
The shocking effect of these two sets of murals in such an environment can be imagined.
Irving and the others were all stunned, as if they were petrified.
The Israeli archaeologist and paleographer standing in front of the cave wall on the right fell into an almost crazy state, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Except for Ye Tian, everyone else's performance was similar.
Of course, in order to make the performance more realistic, Ye Tian also had a shocked expression.
The scene fell silent, leaving only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing.
The top and bottom of the cliff, as well as the campsite on the opposite side of the road, the entire Axum, and even in front of countless live broadcasts, all places became quiet!
It took a long time before someone broke the silence.
"Oh my God! What did I see? This is "Moses Receiving the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Bush". Is the Ark of the Covenant really hidden in this cave?"
Owen muttered to himself.
With his words, everything was instantly detonated.
All members of the tripartite joint exploration team, the Israeli Prime Minister and the Pope who are staying at the camp on the opposite side of the canyon, and countless people who are watching this live broadcast.
Everyone was shocked, whether sitting or standing, they all jumped up.
Everyone was excited, and bursts of almost crazy exclamations resounded in front of countless live broadcasts in an instant.
"Oh my God! The box carried by the two men in the mural is definitely the Ark of the Covenant. There is no doubt that Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are in this cave!
It seems that the Ark of the Covenant, which has been missing for nearly three thousand years, is about to reappear. This is definitely the greatest archaeological discovery in the history of the Western world! ”
"One side is engraved with "Moses Accepting the Ten Commandments", and the other side is engraved with the scene of Menelik I stealing the Ark of the Covenant from Solomon's Temple. This is enough to explain any problem!
I am going to Aksum now to witness the reappearance of the Ark of the Covenant. This is the only opportunity I have waited for three thousand years. If I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”
While exclaiming, many people have already taken action.
These guys rushed out of their homes and immediately embarked on a journey to Axum.
For them, watching live TV is no longer enough.
They all want to be there and witness with their own eyes the great moment when the Ark of the Covenant reappears on earth!
In several camps of the tripartite joint exploration team, in the Vatican and Jerusalem, many clergy, including the Pope, have begun to pray devoutly.
The Israeli archaeologist and paleographer standing on the right side of the cave wall even knelt down, his eyes filled with excitement.
At this moment, Ye Tian's clear voice suddenly came out again.
"Gentlemen, I believe you have all seen these two sets of stone murals. To be honest, the content carved on these two sets of murals is so shocking that I still can’t believe it."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Everyone watching this treasure hunt live broadcast felt like they were in a dream.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"The group of murals on the left wall of the cave, "Moses Accepts the Ten Commandments" and "The Burning Bush", must be very familiar to everyone, but their appearance here has extraordinary significance.
Let’s look at the set of murals on the cave wall on the right. Judging from the content of the murals, this should be the scene when civil strife broke out in the United Kingdom of Israel after the death of King Solomon.
Menelik I took advantage of this civil strife and led people to smuggle the Ark of the Covenant and some of its treasures out of Solomon's Temple, out of Jerusalem, and then to Ethiopia.
The content of this part of the mural is basically consistent with the relevant legends we know, which is enough to show that the legend about Menelik I stealing the Ark of the Covenant is basically a fact."
Everyone nodded again, and no one raised any objections.
In the past, people may have doubted this legend, but now that they see this mural, there is no doubt at all.
"Now it seems that the part of Solomon's treasure stolen by Menelik I may indeed be hidden in the belly of the mountain connected to this cave, and the Ark of the Covenant may also be there.
Of course, it is also possible that the Ark of the Covenant is in the Church of St. Mary on Mount Zion in Axum. After all, this is what the Ethiopians have believed for the past two thousand years! ”
As Ye Tian finished speaking, the scene became quiet again.
The same goes for many live broadcast terminals.
Although they had expected this conclusion for a long time, people were still shocked when they heard Ye Tian's analysis and explanation with their own ears.
As for the claim that the Ark of the Covenant has been stored in the St. Mary's Church on Mount Zion in Axum, even the Ethiopians themselves may not believe it at this time.
