Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Because it was getting late, Liang En and the others simply started studying on the hill. After learning about Liang En's discovery, many people from the army also rushed over and began to study the new discovery with them.

"These things should belong to the decorations on the vehicles of a leader who has both royal power and religious nature." Because of the large number of people and strength, Liang En quickly figured out what the patterns on the top were and made his own judge.

In addition to the original images of oak trees, acorns and oak leaves, these decorative panels also contain images of the famous Celtic sword and the goddess of victory, an important Celtic deity.

When all these elements are brought together, the whole has a clear direction, that is, the identity of the owner of this chariot is absolutely very noble.

After all, according to Celtic tradition, their secular power was in the hands of senior warriors and nobles, while their divine power was in the hands of druids. Only the royal family could control both powers at the same time.

"Do you think this is the chariot used by Queen Boudica?" After Liang En finished his judgment, one of Professor Harry's students suddenly said.

"This can only be said to be possible." Professor Harry said, pointing to the pile of metal placed on the middle table. "After all, these things are indeed not something ordinary people can hold. At least ordinary tanks will only use wood and a small amount of metal, and there will definitely be no decorations."

"But on the other hand, it's unlikely that Roman armies would have given up such iconic trophies, so it's a bit odd that they would appear here."

What Harry meant by strange was that it was obviously abnormal to leave these things in such a headquarters where the British Celts were obviously stationed, because for the ancient Romans, such trophies were the best way to show off their martial prowess. Shouldn't stay.

So after thinking about it for a night, they launched a larger-scale inspection and exploration the next day, and Liang En led a few people to the side of the slope away from the mouth of the valley to launch a large-scale search and excavation.

"Why are we digging this place?" After seeing Liang En delineating the location needed today, Pierce glanced at the top of the slope where he was digging and asked Liang En curiously.

In his opinion, since they had found such valuable things before, they should strike while the iron was hot and start large-scale excavation on the top of the hillside, instead of running down the hillside where there seemed to be nothing.

"Because I felt that the things discovered yesterday were not normal. At least things that were buried so shallowly and had been hastily buried on the battlefield had escaped the search of the ancient Romans, so I thought of another possibility."

After hearing Pierce's question, Liang En stood there with a shovel, and then explained to him a conjecture he had come up with after thinking about it all night yesterday.

"I think you have also seen that this soil slope is in the impact fan at the mouth of the valley, so I guess that the things we excavated before were buried very deep in the past. It was only because several floods stripped away the soil above that it was almost buried by us. Shovel out.”

According to Liang En's inference, when Queen Boudica was defeated and ran away, she most likely learned Cao Cao's spirit of cutting off her beard and abandoning her robes, and gave up all conspicuous signs before running away.

Therefore, a tank like that which is extremely conspicuous but not very convenient to move is naturally impossible to use as a tool for escape, and is likely to be directly abandoned on the battlefield.

At the same time, judging from the records of the ancient Romans, two ancient Roman historians recorded in detail the cause, course, and results of the war, as well as the results of the ancient Roman army. They even greatly exaggerated the results of the Roman side in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But what's interesting is that the other party's description of the final spoils was somewhat vague. They only said that they had obtained part of the wealth and prisoners, and did not list a detailed list of spoils.

This is not normal, because the ancient Romans had a morbid obsession with various records. They tended to record everything they saw in detail through various means.

This kind of record is not just a simple document record, but also a large number of sculptures made on various public facilities, which also provide sufficient information for modern people to study the history of ancient Rome.

However, the record of this war in the British Peninsula is unusual, because no record of the battle has created a list of spoils of this battle, neither in documents nor engravings.

Therefore, according to Liang En's guess, before the defeat, Queen Boudica should have destroyed her iconic items and buried them near the command post, and then fled lightly.

Considering the chaos of the battlefield and the fact that the Romans were actually taking the initiative to attack, as long as Queen Boudica dug her stuff deep enough, she was basically guaranteed not to be found by the Romans.

For the Romans, it was the right thing to quickly retreat or pursue after the battle far away from their own territory and deep into complex terrain, because staying in place could easily be attacked by the Britons using the terrain.

Therefore, it is very reasonable that the ancient Romans who stayed locally for a short time were not able to find, or were not able to find all the things Boudicca had hidden.

"There are traces of water flowing here many times, and you can clearly see the sediments accumulated on the hillside facing away from the mountain pass." After looking at the stones and various things mixed in the soil, Pierce revealed Professional level.

"That's right, and this place was once a battlefield. The ancient Romans and Celts had a fierce battle here. It was probably the final battle." Liang En said while looking at the excavated things.

What appeared in front of him now was a large pile of man-made artifacts, including broken spear heads, dagger fragments, thrown stones or broken arrowheads. From these things, the intensity of the previous battle here could be seen.

"These things should be things that were originally left on the surface of the mountain top. I was probably washed here by seasonal floods from the valley along with everything on the mountain surface." Liang En explained, pointing to these things.

"In other words, these things were originally on the top of the slope." Joan of Arc said after looking at the things that were the same as the weapons unearthed before, "It's just that these things were buried shallower, so they were washed down by the flood. "

"More than that, I guess these things may have been buried deliberately in order to disturb the sight of the Romans. After all, for the Romans, these scraps of copper and iron were not worth digging up." Liang En pointed out with a smile. .

"Furthermore, I found that the vehicle accessories unearthed above were only accessories and not the vehicle itself or the remaining organic matter as imagined. It is very likely that Boudicca removed the accessories alone and hid them."

"It makes sense, and I think the other party's vehicle should have been destroyed at that time." Joan of Arc also thought of something at this time and said.

"At least the method of destroying these wooden products on the battlefield is very simple. It is enough to find a fire. Boudicca can burn everything he wants to destroy before the Romans attack."

"That is to say, those things we discovered before are likely to belong to the remnants of the vehicles of high-level generals in Boudica's army, or even Boudica himself."
