Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"To be honest, I don't know what to do now." Professor Brown also seemed a little confused. For a scholar like him who is no longer young, this matter really puts him in a dilemma.

If he had to let go of the thieves who stole the murals back then, he felt that he would not be able to live with it at all, and would probably struggle with this matter for many years.

But if he goes to settle accounts with the other party, let alone what will happen after more than a hundred years, the reputation of Freemasonry alone makes him really lack the courage to face all this.

Even excluding those obviously exaggerated legends, Freemasonry itself is a behemoth. Even if you are facing a branch of Freemasonry, it is difficult for an individual to fight against it.

Fortunately, Professor Brown was not the only one who participated in the excavation, so after the professor got such a thing from the student, he only experienced a brief tangle before deciding to come to Liang En to deal with the matter.

"Okay, please leave this matter to me." Liang En thought for a moment, then took the badge. In any case, the secrets hidden in Freemasonry itself were enough to attract him to explore.

Not to mention that if the other party really wants to care about this, he will definitely not be able to escape. Instead of passively enduring it, it is better to take the initiative and face this problem directly.

"By the way, I just discovered a secret treasure hiding space on the side of the platform under the statue." After handing over the badge, Liang En took out the rolled-up gold foil and handed it to Brown. professor.

"This is the only thing I found in that treasure room. I think this is probably something that the believers in the ancient Roman era left behind in the hope of passing it on to future generations."

"You said you found it under the statue?" After hearing what Liang En said, Professor Brown's face immediately showed a look of shock.

Liang En naturally knew why the professor was so shocked, because the Mithraic Church had always adhered to the tradition of secret missionary work, so all the existing information was recorded by others, and there was no information from within the church.

After a brief discussion, Liang En asked Fan Meng to stay here temporarily, and then he and Professor Brown went straight to the ruins of the ancient Roman town down the mountain with the ball of gold foil.

Because Professor Brown has a simple laboratory near the ruins, but with all kinds of basic equipment. So they could just use the lab to unfold the gold foil.

Gold has strong flexibility, and the gold foil in Liang En's hands is not very thin. So within a few minutes they had managed to unroll the gold leaf and sandwich it between two pieces of glass.

Just as they had imagined, this piece of gold foil was indeed engraved with rows and rows of Latin characters.

Whether it is Liang En, who has a golden finger, or Professor Brown, who specializes in ancient Roman culture, their Latin level is enough to write an article. So it is not too difficult to translate the text above.

However, as soon as he read the beginning, Liang En realized that this article was somewhat difficult to translate. Because he discovered that this thing was actually a poem.

You must know that the most difficult things to translate in translation work, apart from certain professional papers, are those related to literature.

So he immediately took out a pen and notebook from the side and started recording. While he was doing this, Professor Brown also took out a pen and notebook from the other side of the table and started recording it as well.

After literally translating everything in the book, Liang En immediately started to reorganize the language with the help of the records in the notebook. Finally, 15 minutes after starting work, a hymn appeared on the paper.

This is a hymn in praise of the god Mithras, mainly praising Mithras' ability to rise from the dead. Obviously, there is great terror between life and death, so people naturally pray in this regard when praying to the gods.

Of course, there is a strong possibility that the Sun Cave exists attached to the Antonine Great Wall Fortress, so the main prayer direction needs to serve those soldiers.

Just after Liang En completed the translation and gained a little more legendary power, Professor Brown also completed his own translation. Then he pointed at the gold foil and said excitedly.

"Liang, we have changed history. This is the first document we have found that comes from the Mithraic Church itself."

"The church's own documents?" Liang En took his own document and took a look, "But the content of this hymn doesn't seem to be much different from the information we had before."

"You are right, the information recorded here is indeed not much different from the information we already know." Professor Brown nodded in agreement and then said.

"But unlike the indirect information we have obtained before, this Psalm allows us to directly peek into the internal records of ancient Mithraism for the first time, and confirm a lot of information about Mithraism from another angle. .”

"I see." When Professor Brown said this, Liang En immediately understood the importance of this cultural relic.

Just like the story of sinking silver at the mouth of the Zhang Xianzhong River in China, even though there are countless records and folklore, the authenticity of this historical event can only be confirmed after it is actually found.

When the two people thoroughly cleaned the gold foil and registered it, Liang En's cell phone also rang. It turned out that Dr. Caldwell had personally brought the tent to the parking lot of the attraction, so he notified them in advance.

"Then you can come directly to the temporary archaeological laboratory at the foot of the mountain next to the ancient Roman ruins. We just found a piece of gold foil engraved with Mithraic hymns and are currently processing it-"

After hearing that Dr. Caldwell is about to arrive. Liang En immediately briefly explained the new discovery as quickly as possible, and finally pointed out his current location to the other party. fruit

However, less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, the faint sound of a car engine could be heard outside the room. After another ten minutes of waiting, Dr. Caldwell opened the door of the room and walked in. .

"This is an important discovery that once again refreshed the archaeological history of Scotland." Dr. Caldwell said excitedly as soon as he entered the door, "I can even say that this Sun Cave is the Sun Cave dug now. The best of them all.”

"The best one?" Liang En asked with some confusion. "But I remember that there are several sun holes in Rome, Italy that are larger than this, and the Mithras bull-butchering statue in the British Empire Museum seems to be larger as well."

"Yes, what you said is correct. But the problem is that those things were separated before." Dr. Caldwell shrugged, "And you are a systematic and well-preserved solar hole."

Speaking of this, Dr. Caldwell showed an excited look on his face. "By the way, should you know who this land belongs to? I think the most suitable thing for this place in the sun is to preserve it in situ and then open it to the public in the future."

"To be honest, if it were land owned by Her Majesty the Queen, things would be much easier to deal with, but what if it's private land -"

"You don't have to worry about this, doctor." Liang En pointed at himself and said. "When I was seeking excavation permission, the other party sold me this wasteland directly."
