Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2985 Open Air Museum

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian took David, Joshua and others up a hill on the outskirts of Luxor, and looked towards the Nile River not far away and the Valley of the Kings.

After two days of trekking, the tripartite joint exploration team arrived at Luxor in the middle reaches of the Nile yesterday afternoon. After resting in Luxor for one night, the exploration operation started this morning.

Luxor, a famous ancient Egyptian city, is located in the middle reaches of the Nile River and is one of the most important cities in the Nile Valley.

Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt, is located here. It is the concentration of ancient Thebes cultural relics and is known as the "largest open-air museum" on earth.

Thebes, a capital city built during the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom (2040-1071 BC) of ancient Egypt, has a history of more than 4,000 years.

According to historical records, Thebes at that time had hundreds of city gates, densely populated, stretching mansions, and was extremely prosperous. It was the largest city in the world and was known as the "City of Hundred Gates". 'Palace-like city'.

The pharaohs of the past dynasties built a large number of temples, palaces and tombs in Thebes. They are magnificent in scale and exquisite in craftsmanship.

However, with the passage of thousands of years, most of the magnificent palaces and temples have disappeared, but from the only remaining temple ruins, the tombs of emperors and empresses, and the tombs of nobles, one can still imagine the magnificent style of Thebes in its heyday.

The famous Valley of the Kings is located to the west of Luxor, that is, to the west of Thebes, about seven kilometers from the west bank of the Nile.

It is densely covered with the tombs of many pharaohs from the 18th to 20th dynasties during the New Dynasty of ancient Egypt, as well as a large number of noble tombs. The famous Tutankhamun's tomb and treasures were found in the Valley of the Kings.

In ancient Egypt, as slaves and shepherds of Pharaoh, the ancestors of the Israelites mainly lived in the Nile Delta of Lower Egypt, but there were also several settlements in Thebes of Upper Egypt.

These sites are all located on the outskirts of Thebes. When the ancestors of the Israelites lived here, they also built some temple-like buildings and worshiped their own gods.

After ancient Israel was destroyed by the New Babylonian Kingdom, some Israelites who escaped from Jerusalem returned to the land where their ancestors once lived.

Another point is that the Queen of Sheba visited and stayed here several times when she went to Jerusalem to meet King Solomon, and when Menelik I escaped from Jerusalem and fled back to Ethiopia.

Because of this, the tripartite joint exploration team will come to Luxor to explore the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant!

At this time, the hill where Ye Tian and the others stood was one of the settlements where the ancestors of the Israelites once lived.

It is a pity that thousands of years have passed, and under the double erosion of time and wind and sand, the several temples that originally stood on this hill are only left with a few short sections of stone walls, even broken walls and ruins. not on.

As far as this is concerned, it is still uncertain whether they were built by the ancestors of the Israelites, the ancient Egyptians, or the later ancient Greeks and ancient Romans!

As for the dwellings of the ancestors of the Israelites, just like their people, they have long been turned into yellow sand, and there is nowhere to be found!

Standing on the top of the hill, Ye Tian and the others could only see the quietly flowing Nile River in the distance and the boats passing by on the river.

But I can't see the famous Valley of the Kings at all, I can only imagine it!

After gazing against the wind for a while, Ye Tian then withdrew his gaze and turned around to look at the crowd.

"Gentlemen, let's get started, hope to gain something, and also hope that the ancestors of the Israelites or the ancient Egyptians have hidden something here, at least leave a little hint!

Even if we can't find the legendary Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, if we can find a pharaoh's tomb similar to Tutankhamun's treasure, then our trip will be worthwhile! "

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

"A pharaoh's tomb like Tutankhamun's treasure? Steven, your ambition is too big!"

"Wow! If we really discover such a pharaoh's tomb, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world!"

After some discussions, everyone took action to prepare for the upcoming joint exploration operation.

Ye Tian went to many employees of the brave and fearless exploration company, preparing to assign work to his employees.

When he came close, he glanced at these guys first, then said loudly with a smile:

"Guys, it's still the same as the previous exploration operations. Everyone is divided into several groups, and they use pulse metal detectors to scan this ancient ruin thoroughly to see if they can find anything.

If you find metal objects buried deep in the ground, and you are not sure what those metal objects are, remember to notify me immediately, let me take a look at the situation, and then decide whether to dig and explore.

Compared with the Pyramid of Apophis I, which is located deep in the Sahara, it is undoubtedly much safer here. There is no need to worry about mines and traps, but everyone should be careful, and each group should take care of each other.

After scanning the hill thoroughly, if there is nothing found, except for a few people, they will follow me to check the ruins, and the rest can rest and wait for the next exploration location! "

After that, Ye Tian said a few more words before ending the work arrangement.

Afterwards, everyone freely combined and divided into several groups, and then took out a pulse metal detector from the metal suitcase, quickly assembled it, and then started exploring!

In the blink of an eye, these exploration teams dispersed, each holding a pulse metal detection conference, like a mine-sweeping force, and began to carefully scan the hill.

Ye Tian led a few people to a low stone wall to study the condition of that stone wall, to see if it was the site of a temple built by the ancestors of the Israelites!

At the same time that everyone started to explore, more and more people came here after hearing the news, and the only few flat lands under the hill were completely filled in a short time!

Fortunately, the Egyptian police had been prepared for a long time, and specially marked out several viewing areas and set up a cordon, which controlled the order of the scene well.

Among the lively crowd, there are not only local residents of Luxor, but also many tourists from all over the world, explorers, treasure hunters, experts and scholars from all walks of life, etc.

There are also many guys who followed the tripartite joint exploration team all the way to Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, and their eyes were full of greed and jealousy.

Of course, there are also many media reporters on the scene, including local Egyptians and major news media from all over the world!

It was as if a press conference was being held at the scene. These guys held up their cameras and video cameras, and kept shooting at the top of the mountain!

As the tripartite joint exploration team launched its operations, these guys who were watching the fun at the foot of the mountain immediately had an orgasm!

"Guys, what do you think is hidden under this hill? Could it be a magnificent pyramid? Just like the Pyramid of Apophis I hidden under the sand dunes!"

"It's such a pity. My family has lived in Luxor for generations. Why didn't I think of coming to this hill to look for treasures? I regret it!"

While these guys were talking about it, the joint exploration team on the top of the mountain had discovered something.

"Steven, take a look at this stone, there are some interesting things engraved on it!"

exclaimed an archaeologist at Columbia University, in an excited tone!
