Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"What do you think we can dig out this time?" Professor Harry asked when returning to the hotel with the excavated pottery plates. "Is it possible to dig up something valuable?"

"It should be possible." Liang En, who had understood the words on the pottery shards before, nodded and said, "But if there are no accidents, these things on the pottery shards are the truly valuable things. It is a pity that Linear Script A could not be deciphered. "

"There is no way, there are really too few cultural relics in this area." Harry naturally paid attention to these things, so when Liang En said it, he showed a helpless expression.

"Deciphering ancient texts requires enough samples, but there are too few samples now. If there are more samples, maybe you can understand the secrets inside."

Professor Harry still quite trusts Liang En's ability to decipher ancient characters, because he has deciphered many kinds of characters in a short period of time, and he seems to have enough talent in this area.

You must know that deciphering ancient texts, especially those dead texts, is not a simple matter. In addition to being serious and hardworking, the most important thing is to have enough talent in this area.

Maybe because there are many scenes in the movie of archaeologists picking up ancient documents and starting to read them directly, many people think that archaeologists can completely read ancient documents.

But in fact this is impossible. Philologists and archaeologists are not the same thing. At least in most cases in this world, it is normal for archaeologists not to recognize the content of excavated texts.

"Actually, I have already started deciphering Linear Script A, but the content that can be deciphered is so small that only a small number of words can be translated."

Liang En briefly talked about the progress of his decision to disclose it now, and then marked the content on the photo of the ceramic plate that could be reasonably disclosed now.

It is a pity that these things combined do not account for 1/10 of all the text, so the translated content is so fragmented that it is impossible to see what the original content of this thing was.

However, judging from these scattered words, everyone basically judged that this thing should be related to metal smelting, and metal smelting was related to gods.

However, because some key words could not be translated, Professor Harry and his students could only begin to deduce what was written in it based on the folk customs of various countries.

As folklorists, these people are quite good at making inferences in this area. At least some students inferred that the production of this kind of metal required sacrifices to gods, and therefore inferred that this kind of metal was difficult to make.

"What you are saying makes sense, because making metal was considered a very sacred thing in ancient times, especially in such an extremely ancient era." Liang En nodded.

Because he remembered some legends in ancient China. For example, the casting of certain magical weapons always requires the sacrifice of animals or even human lives. This can actually be regarded as a kind of sacrifice.

After all, compared to those older stone tools, the performance of metals has obviously made subversive improvements, so it is normal for those ancient people to regard it as a power given by the gods. This may be a universal understanding of the unknown. manner.

"Yes, this is indeed a global phenomenon. Even today, blacksmiths in some areas of Southeast Asia need to perform some ancient prayer rituals before making weapons. I believe this-"

Harry nodded, but mid-sentence was interrupted by the sudden braking of the car. Fortunately, everyone was wearing seat belts at this time, so they were not injured.

"What happened?" Liang En asked. This driver was a professional veteran, so it was obviously abnormal to brake suddenly like this.

Joan of Arc and Fan Meng on the side reacted even more strongly. Both of them reached into their arms and had their pistol grips touched, because for them, this sudden stop of the vehicle obviously represented some kind of accident.

"The police made a temporary inspection," the driver said. At the same time, Liang En also saw a police car and two policemen blocking the road through the front glass of the car window. It was indeed like a temporary inspection.

This is actually a very common thing on the island. After all, this is the top tourist area in the Mediterranean, so it is natural to pay more attention to security.

"It's a pity that things have been troublesome these days, so the police officers accompanying us can only stay at the excavation site to avoid the loss of cultural relics. Otherwise, a temporary inspection like this would be enough. There is no need to waste time." Professor Harry got out of the car. muttered.

"No way, this is a routine matter after all." Liang En said with a shrug. "After all, we are now on Greek territory, so we should abide by local laws."

Soon, the two policemen began to search the car, but just as the two policemen completed the inspection of the outside of the car and entered the car, Fan Meng approached Liang En and whispered.

"These two men don't look like Greek police, at least not like the Greek police we've seen before. At least the Greek police we've seen before don't look like them."

"You mean these two policemen are fake?" Liang En suddenly became alert. If you take into account the fact that someone was following them before, any doubt now may be a precursor to an attack.

"I'm not sure, but the actions those two people used to look at the bottom of the car just now were not like the common actions of the police, but like those of soldiers." Fan Meng was not sure about this either. "We may need more clues."

After saying that, he approached the police car and observed it, but he walked over after a few seconds, and at the same time, he clenched his pistol and prepared for the next step.

"The two policemen above are fake, at least their police car is fake." "What -" Liang En immediately looked at the two policemen searching on the minibus, and at the same time used Fan Meng as a cover to give him Pistol loaded and ready for battle.

"What should we do next?" Liang En asked Fan Meng as he watched Jeanne quietly inform the others of the news and signal them to be ready.

After all, it is very likely that an armed conflict will break out next, so in this case, if you want to do things beautifully, it is necessary to consult professionals.

"Let's just wait at the door and take action when the other party gets off the car!" Although because the vehicle chassis is relatively high, we can't see what's going on inside the vehicle when we stand under it, but we can't see what's going on inside the car if we are prepared. Calculation is difficult.

After reaching a certain angle, he quickly saw through the back of the car and boat that the two so-called policemen had opened their box containing ceramic plates and were about to put some things in it.

At this time, they were able to determine that the two police officers inside were fake, but the other party didn't know that Liang En and the others already knew that they were fake, so they could naturally do something with this information gap.

Soon, the two policemen closed the safe and got out of the car. At the same time, they adjusted the expressions on their faces, making it look like real police officers had completed their jobs.
