Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2357 Merovingian Royal Treasure

After inspecting several dazzling gold vessels and valuable antique relics one after another, Ye Tian finally came up with his own appraisal conclusion.

"Basically, it is certain that this batch of gold and silver treasures and antique relics should come from the royal treasures of the Merovingian dynasty. Since they are stacked here, they are part of the treasures of the Knights Templar.

As far as the treasures I just looked at, the oldest things can be traced back to more than one thousand years BC, they come from the Kingdom of Israel and the Assyrian Empire, etc., and the latest ones come from the Merovingian Dynasty.

On several antique cultural relics with obvious Merovingian artistic style, we can see the coat of arms of the St. Clair family. The St. Clair family is the Merovingian royal family, which is the best proof.

In some legends about the Knights Templar, the Knights Templar has always regarded itself as the protector of the descendants of the St. Clair family. Now it seems that these long-standing legends are not groundless.

In this regard, it makes sense that the treasures of the St. Clair family, which were acquired by the Knights Templar at some point in the Middle Ages, were hidden here.

Because these treasures belonged to the St. Clair family and were related to Mary Magdalene, the Knights Templar did not put them together with the gold and silver treasures and antique relics in the palace outside.

It was a pleasant surprise to find here the treasures of the St. Clair family, which, since they are part of the treasures of the Knights Templar, are secular treasures, and they are of course ours."

Having said that, Ye Tian swung his fist vigorously, his face full of excitement.

Walker and Peter standing next to each other were also very excited and gave each other high fives to celebrate.

At this time, these two guys have basically returned to normal, but there are still some bloodshot eyes.

Hearing Ye Tian's words, excited cheers immediately erupted in the Sarolla Church on the ground, coming from the employees and security personnel of the Fearless Exploration Company.

The rest of the people inside and outside Tomar Castle, as well as the countless audiences in front of the live broadcast, were envious, and even almost mad with envy.

Why did this kind of good thing fall on the head of that bastard Steven, it will never be his turn, God is so unfair!

Next, Ye Tian picked up another antique cultural relic from the period of the Jewish Kingdom and admired it.

After appreciating and putting down this treasure,

He left here and walked towards a marble sculpture a few meters away.

Walker and Peter followed immediately, continuing to lay out wiring and install lighting fixtures.

Seven or eight minutes later, the three of them had come to the southeast side of the underground palace, where there was an arch about two meters high, embedded in the granite wall.

Right above the doorway of this arch, there is a Maltese cross engraved, which is very conspicuous.

Coming here, Ye Tian checked the situation inside and outside the arch as usual, and after confirming that there were no traps, he led Walker and Peter into the arch.

Inside the door is a room with an area of ​​about 30 to 40 square meters. It is rectangular. The room is quite simple, not as magnificent as the rotunda outside.

On the wall facing the arch, there are five tombs embedded in the wall in a row, and there are two tombs on the left and right walls.

In all nine chambers there is a sarcophagus, and on the wall next to each chamber is carved a huge Maltese cross.

In the center of the room is an altar about 1.2 meters high. The surroundings of the altar seem to be engraved with words and various patterns, but it is covered by dust and moss, so it is not very clear.

In the center of the marble altar, there is a sharp Crusader knight sword inserted deeply into the altar, which feels like a sword in the stone.

Even after more than 800 years of wind and rain, the crusader knight's sword is still as bright as new, and the light is still shining coldly, obviously it has been treated with special anti-rust technology.

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that the nine tombs in this room obviously belonged to the nine founders of the Knights Templar.

The sarcophagus placed in the nine tombs contained the corpses or clothes of the nine founders of the Knights Templar.

Next, the results of Ye Tian's exploration also proved everyone's judgment.

Just like the situation outside, there are no deadly traps at the entrance of this room, the altar in the center of the room and its surroundings.

After confirming this, Ye Tian directed Walker and Peter to wipe off the dust and moss on the altar, including the crusader knight's sword that shone with cold light.

Sure enough, the altar is engraved with Latin, and there are some religious story patterns, as well as patterns of the Crusades, depicting famous battles.

The crusader knights in the murals are all wearing the robes of the Templars and fighting bloody battles with long swords in their hands, showing a brave, decisive and indomitable momentum.

Obviously, the content shown in these murals is a series of famous battles that the Knights Templar participated in, and it is very likely that the nine founders of the Knights Templar participated in the famous battles.

Ye Tian stepped forward, looked at the words and patterns engraved on the altar, and the Crusader Knight's sword inserted on the altar with great interest, and then smiled and said:

"Bishop of Kent, please translate these Latin texts for everyone. If it is as expected, these Latin texts tell the story of the founding of the Knights Templar, and the life stories of the nine founders of the Knights Templar!"

After the words fell, Bishop Kent's voice came from the walkie-talkie immediately.

"That's right, Steven, these Latin texts briefly introduce the story of the founding of the Knights Templar and the life stories of the nine founders. Next, I will translate these texts for you..."

Next, the Bishop of Kent began to translate the Latin words on the altar. Ye Tian listened and admired the murals carved on the altar.

Inside and outside Tomar Castle, as well as in front of countless live broadcasts, people were also listening, unknowingly fascinated.

With the introduction of the Bishop of Kent, people's understanding of the Knights Templar suddenly deepened a lot, and they knew a lot of things they had never heard of before.

More is also known about the nine founders of the Knights Templar and their lives.

Apart from these, Ye Tian didn't find anything special on this altar, such as hidden compartments and so on.

After exploring the altar, he took Walker and Peter to the wall facing the arch, and began to explore the tombs embedded in the wall and the nine sarcophagi placed in the tomb.

Here, they successively saw the tomb and sarcophagus of Hugo de Paying, the tomb and sarcophagus of Godfrey de Saint-Omo, and the tombs and sarcophagus of several other founders of the Knights Templar.

Back in the day, the nine founders of the Knights Templar were all powerful heroes, famous in Western history, and even synonymous with knights in the Middle Ages. What a sight!

But today, more than 800 years later, they have already turned into dry bones, sleeping quietly in sarcophagi, sleeping in endless darkness, guarding the Holy Grail and this underground world.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others came to the tomb of a founder of the Knights Templar.

Through the Latin engraved on the outside of the sarcophagus in the tomb, they learned that this was the tomb and sarcophagus of Andre de Montbard, one of the founders of the Knights Templar.

After the bishop of Kent finished translating the Latin engraved on the sarcophagus, Ye Tian pretended to be serious and began to inspect the tomb and the sarcophagus placed in the tomb.

After a while, he was looking at the Maltese cross on the wall on the right side of the tomb, and suddenly said in surprise:

"Hey! This horse cross key looks interesting. Guys, it seems that we have made a new discovery. I hope it will be a huge surprise!"
