Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Steven, come and take a look. We found a stone pillar, which is different from the stone plates and pottery tablets found before. It is engraved with some ancient cuneiform characters, not ancient Arabic"

Ye Tian and the others were exploring in a building that had already collapsed, with only two low walls left, when a company employee's voice suddenly came from the intercom.

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Okay, Danny, we'll get there"

After finishing speaking, he took David and walked to where Danny and the others were.

Several paleographers, archaeologists, and historians from Israel and the United States also heard what Danny said, and walked towards Danny and the others in unison. Everyone was full of excitement and looked forward to it. .

From the beginning of the exploration operation to the present, this stone pillar engraved with cuneiform characters is probably the earliest thing discovered by everyone, and it may also be the only object from BC. Can you not look forward to it!

In three or two steps, Ye Tian and David came to the area Danny and the others were exploring, and several other experts and scholars also came one after another, either far or near.

Seeing them approaching, Danny immediately pointed to a granite pillar broken in three on the ground and said:

"Steven, it was this stone pillar that was buried under the yellow sand and almost tripped us up. After digging away the yellow sand covering it, we found this stone pillar, but unfortunately it broke into three pieces.

On this granite pillar, there are some ancient cuneiform characters engraved, as well as some ancient decorations and patterns. We can't understand what is written in detail, so I called you here! "

While Danny was introducing the situation, Ye Tian had already squatted down and began to look at this ancient and damaged granite pillar, looking at the words and patterns engraved on the stone pillar.

The same goes for the rest of the experts and scholars, who looked at the granite pillar with great interest, identified the words and patterns engraved on the pillar, and tried to translate it.

After quickly scanning this and the stone pillar, Ye Tian said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, if I'm not mistaken, these cuneiform characters are Akkadian, of the same origin as those on Joseph's pinata, and are carved on this stone pillar at about the same age!

These exquisite decorations and patterns carved on the stone pillars have a bit of the characteristics of the civilization of the Persian Empire.

Obviously, this is an antique relic that is a mixture of Neo-Babylonian-Assyrian civilization and Persian civilization.

From this, it can be deduced that an Akkadian tribe once lived here, and they were the residents and even the owners of this ancient city. This stone pillar should be carved before 400 BC.”

As soon as the words fell, a paleographer from the Hebrew University continued to say:

"That's right, Steven, these cuneiform characters are indeed Akkadian, so it can be seen that after the fall of the New Babylonian Kingdom, the Akkadian tribe gradually wandered to southern Arabia and settled down here.

These decorations and patterns on the stone pillars indeed have the characteristics of both the Neo-Babylonian-Assyrian civilization and the Persian Empire civilization. In more than 400 BC, the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula happened to be under the rule of the Persian Empire.

Some of the cuneiform characters expressed are related to religious sacrifices, but most of the characters are unknown to us, and many of them are discovered for the first time. It can be said that this stone pillar is of great historical and cultural research value! "

Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then continued:

"From these findings, it is speculated that this stone pillar was probably originally part of a temple or shrine-like building built by the Akkadians. Later, this temple or shrine collapsed, but this granite stone pillar remained.

Later, people living in this ancient city used this granite pillar to build other buildings, and it continued like this from generation to generation. Until the Middle Ages, this ancient city was completely abandoned and turned into a ruined wall.

The building where this granite pillar was located also collapsed. When the building collapsed, it brought down this stone pillar and broke it into three pieces. Even though it has been broken, it is still a very good antique cultural relic with great research value! "

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and agreed with his analysis.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"It is undeniable that the ruins of this ancient city have a long history and have certain exploration value. The granite pillar in front of you from more than 400 BC is the best proof.

However, combined with various previous discoveries, I can basically be sure that the possibility of the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, a religious sacred object, being buried in the ruins of this ancient city is extremely small.

The reason is simple, there is not a single piece of antique artifacts related to ancient Israel and ancient Ethiopia found here, in treasure hunting operations and archaeological work, there is no evidence to support this! "

Although a bit reluctant to admit it, and somewhat disappointed, everyone at the scene agreed with Ye Tian's judgment and nodded their heads one after another.

Especially Joshua and Isaiah, both of them were disappointed, beyond words!

"That's right, based on all the discoveries we have made so far, there is not a single piece of antique relic, nor any piece of evidence that can prove that Solomon's treasure is buried here. It seems that our trip to Yemen was in vain!"

A historian at Harvard University said there was some disappointment in his words.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

"Gentlemen, we didn't run in vain this time. Didn't we discover this ancient granite pillar? It is also certain that this ancient city has a very long history, and the Akkadians once lived here.

When you have a chance in the future, you can come here to explore and archeology again, and uncover the veil covering the ruins of this ancient city. I believe it will also be a very valuable and meaningful archaeological operation.

However, the goal of our tripartite joint exploration operation is the Treasure of Solomon, which is the Ark of the Covenant, a religious sacred object. There is no need to waste time here. A place like Yemen is not a place to stay for a long time.

Next, we will speed up the exploration and strive to finish exploring this ancient city site as soon as possible. If there are no surprising discoveries, we should leave here and go to the next destination.

As for the stone pillar engraved with Akkadian script and other things we found during this trip, let’s leave it to the Yemenis. Whether it’s left to the Yemeni government or local armed forces has nothing to do with me!

According to the tripartite joint exploration agreement we signed, as well as the agreement reached with the Yemeni government and local armed forces, we should enjoy 50% of the rights and interests of these discoveries, and I am willing to give up!

The reason is very simple, the value of this ancient city site is not worth it for me to take a large number of employees to dig in this desert, it is not worth it for us to stay in such a place of the Fourth World War, and take this risk.”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded their heads in agreement.

Joshua, who was also at the scene, instantly thought of those guys who were galloping towards this desert, trying to loot Solomon's treasure, and knew why Ye Tian made this decision!

Needless to say, this is a very wise decision. There is no need to waste time here, and it can also get rid of those guys with ulterior motives and play around with those guys!

Next, everyone admired the granite pillar for a while, and then dispersed to continue exploring.

Of course, those ancient text experts, archaeologists, and historians from Israel and the United States took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures of every detail of this ancient granite pillar before leaving here.

For them, this granite pillar is a priceless treasure, worthy of careful research and verification!

Especially for those newly discovered Akkadians, every word means an academic paper and a research result, they are not willing to miss it!

At this time, most of the area of ​​the ancient city ruins has been explored, and the time has come to the afternoon, and the temperature has gradually dropped!
