Treasure Hunt all over the World

Morazan Square regained its calm again. The nervous or numb Hondurans still did what they should do, and in a blink of an eye, they forgot what happened just now.

For them, street fires are not too common, they are commonplace, and they have long been familiar with them.

In fact, they have nowhere to hide. In a country like Honduras, where gangsters and drug dealers are rampant, where is it safe?

And those tourists from all over the world are not so calm.

Fearing that a bloody fight would happen here and harm their innocent pond fish, many people hurriedly left Morazan Square and returned to their respective hotels.

Of course, Ye Tian and the others were not included.

At this time, Ye Tianzheng was standing at a booth on the edge of the square, looking at the various goods on the booth with great interest, and David and the others beside him were doing the same.

This is the fifth stall they have visited. Like the previous four stalls, this stall is also full of various handicrafts and tourist souvenirs.

Many of them seem to come from Indian tribes, or from Mayan tribes, with Mayan hieroglyphs engraved on them, or other symbols with Indian cultural colors.

As for the authenticity of these things, do you still have to ask?

While Ye Tian was looking at the goods on the stall, the Hispanic stall owner standing inside the stall kept selling goods to him in broken English, trying to make a fortune.

"Mr. Steven, as far as I know, you Chinese are all very fond of the colorful jade like jadeite. I happen to have a few very good rough jadeite here. Are you interested in taking a look?"

As he said that, the stall owner with green eyes raised his hand and gestured towards a few stones placed on the side of the stall.

Following the direction of his fingers, Ye Tian glanced at the so-called rough jadeite stones, then turned back to look at the stall owner, smiled and said in a low voice:

“Man, it’s true that we Chinese like jadeite, but what we like is jadeite from Myanmar, and it’s pure high-grade jadeite, not Guatemalan jadeite.

From our point of view, the vast majority of Guatemalan jadeites are made in kilograms and are of little value at all. Where are these rough jadeites from? I don’t need to say more, right? "

hear this,

The stall owner's face immediately turned red, somewhat embarrassed.

Obviously, what Ye Tian said was correct, the few pieces of rough jadeite placed on the stall were just Guatemalan materials of little value, and they were used by the stall owner to deceive people.

How could such a rough jadeite fall into Ye Tian's eyes?

After exposing the stall owner's little trick, Ye Tian looked at the other goods on the stall, and didn't take this episode seriously.

Soon, he pointed to a cylindrical stone pillar with a length of about 60 to 70 centimeters and a diameter of about 12 centimeters on the booth and said:

"Man, can I have a look at this granite pillar? The patterns carved on the pillar seem to come from the Mayan tribe. You know, this time we came to Honduras to explore the Golden City of the Mayan Empire"

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, everyone at the scene looked at the granite pillar placed on the stall. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Just as Ye Tian said, the cylindrical granite pillar was engraved with hieroglyphs and patterns with rich Mayan culture.

Especially at the two ends of the stone pillar, some exaggerated human heads are engraved respectively.

Some of the faces are laughing, some seem to be crying sadly, and some have wide eyes and grim expressions, which look quite weird.

The stall owner also looked at the granite pillar on the ground, but he was very calm and even a little disappointed.

"No problem, Mr. Steven, of course you can look at this granite pillar"

Ye Tian nodded immediately, took a step forward, squatted down in front of the booth, and began to examine the granite pillar, and he also greeted Professor Delgado.

"Professor Delgado, you are an archaeologist who studies the Mayan civilization. What do the Mayan hieroglyphs and various patterns on this granite pillar represent? Can you explain it?"

Hearing this, Professor Delgado immediately stepped forward, squatted side by side with Ye Tian, ​​and began to examine this weird granite pillar.

After just two glances, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian had seen the situation of the upward side of the stone pillar, and then stretched out his hands, turned the granite stone pillar over, and turned the bottom side up.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a few lines of Spanish engraved on the bottom edge of this granite pillar, and the Arabic numerals of 1932 were engraved on it.

Obviously, this granite pillar was carved in the early 1930s, and it is not an antique cultural relic from the Mayan Empire.

Seeing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Ye Tian's face in due course.

"Steven, this granite pillar was carved in the early 1930s by a Mayan farmer. The lines of Spanish and date numbers at the bottom of the pillar are the name and date of creation of the creator.

As for the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns on the stone pillar, they are very common and have no special meaning. The reason why they appear on this stone pillar should be used to decorate this granite stone pillar.

These Mayan hieroglyphs have been translated a long time ago, and they also appeared on some steps in the ancient city of Copan and in some Mayan architectural ruins. I am not very clear about the meaning of only a few patterns.

Perhaps those patterns have no meaning at all, but are just decorations. It is conceivable that in the early 1930s, a Mayan farmer in Honduras got such a stone pillar on a whim.

After finishing the granite pillar, he carved the hieroglyphs of the Mayan civilization and various weird patterns on it, and then engraved the Spanish and the creation date, making the pillar nondescript.

The Mayan farmer probably did not understand the meaning of these pictographs and patterns, but thought they were the cultural symbols of his own nation, so he carved them on the stone pillars like cats and tigers, so he engraved Spanish explanations."

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed. The stall owner's face turned red again, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Ye Tian also smiled softly, then stood up and looked at the stall owner in front of him.

When the laughter at the scene subsided, he smiled and said:

"Man, where did you get this granite pillar? It looks interesting, how much is this granite pillar? I want to keep it for fun and study these Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns on it"

"ah--!"

Surprised voices sounded from the scene, coming from many onlookers.

Everyone didn't understand what Ye Tian was doing with this apparently worthless granite pillar. Could it be that he wanted to learn Mayan hieroglyphs?

David and the others standing beside Ye Tian quickly had a look of surprise in their eyes.

David and the others understood in an instant that there must be some secret hidden in this granite pillar, otherwise Ye Tian would never buy such a thing, which would only add to the burden.

It's just that they couldn't figure out what secret was hidden in this granite pillar, and how did Ye Tian discover the clue?

Those who feel confused include the stall owner of this stall.

After Ye Tian's words fell, the stall owner immediately froze in place. He thought he was hallucinating, and someone actually wanted to buy this garbage-like granite pillar.

And the person who wants to buy this granite pillar is the world's top professional treasure hunter and the top expert in antique art appraisal. It's incredible!

Is this granite pillar a priceless treasure? It's just that my eyesight is clumsy and I can't see it!

Thinking of this, the stall owner immediately looked at the granite pillars on the ground, his eyes full of anticipation!
