Treasure Hunt all over the World

After all, the physical strength of several archaeologists was limited. They were exhausted after digging less than three meters down. Several Israeli exploration team members took over and continued to dig down.

Fortunately, this hill is mainly composed of sandy soil, not a granite mountain, with relatively few stones, so it is not so difficult to dig.

On the other side, after more than half an hour of drilling, Jack and the others finally drilled the first hole.

The hole was not too deep, only about four meters. Jack and the others stopped drilling when they were less than ten centimeters away from the metal objects.

The diameter of the cave is only about eight centimeters, and it is only possible to hang some miniature exploration equipment into it to explore the situation deep underground before deciding on the next move.

As for Ye Tian and several archaeologists, they squatted on the ground and carefully studied the soil drilled out of the mountain.

Fortunately, this is the Nile Valley, not the depths of the Sahara Desert. The soil drilled from this cave is relatively moist, not dry sand, which will disperse when the wind blows!

"Steven, according to the previous archaeological data around Thebes, it is basically certain that these metal objects at a depth of about four meters underground were buried during the Roman rule. We can analyze it from the soil composition..."

An archaeologist pointed to the soil on the ground that had just been taken out from the depths of the ground, and introduced to Ye Tian the situation of the soil layers in various periods.

In fact, Ye Tian knows better than anyone else what is buried under his feet, and he also knows which era those metal objects deep underground come from, what they are, how much they are worth, and so on.

He knows what he knows, but he can't resort to it. The performance that should be done is still indispensable. Even if it costs a lot of time and energy, it also costs a lot.

In addition to the metal objects that Jack and the others explored, in other places on the top of the mountain, everyone also explored some metal objects buried deep underground, but the distribution was very scattered.

Ye Tian checked those places one by one and the corresponding detection data.

After some analysis, he ruled out the possibility that those metal objects were treasures, and they were more likely to be ancient weapons or agricultural tools, or even funerary objects. Moreover, they were funeral objects of civilians and had no excavation value.

Only the metal objects found by Jack and the others are relatively concentrated and worthy of further exploration and research.

While Ye Tian and the others were studying the soil layer data, Jack and the others had already hung a miniature camera and a flashlight into the cave to investigate the situation deep underground.

After a while, the situation in the depths of the cave appeared on the monitoring screen.

What everyone saw was a piece of relatively dense soil, as if it had been deliberately pressed, rather than a hidden underground space.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian pondered for a moment before expressing his judgment.

"Judging from the compactness of this piece of soil, it seems that it has been rammed. From this analysis, these metal objects may be buried under a collapsed earth wall, or they may be buried in a tomb.

Jack, you hang up the camera first, and then continue drilling, this time directly drilling through the soil layer, to see what these metal objects are, they are ancient weapons,

It’s still gold and silver treasures, but you have to be more careful.”

"Understood, Steven, we will be careful not to damage those metal objects as much as possible"

Jack nodded in response, and then acted immediately.

In less than five minutes, the last seven or eight centimeters of soil was successfully drilled through.

The moment the drill bit touched the metal objects deep underground, Jack and the others immediately stopped drilling and successfully avoided destroying the metal objects.

Subsequently, the miniature camera was hoisted into the cave again to detect what those metal objects deep underground were.

This time, what appeared on the monitor screen was a rusty spearhead, and the edge of a shield was also rusty.

Seeing this picture, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The answer has been revealed. The metal objects buried at a depth of more than four meters underground are obviously some ancient weapons, and their location may have been an armory in ancient times!

From the analysis of its soil layer and shape, it should be an ancient weapon buried during the Roman rule of Egypt!

Although these ancient Roman weapons are also antique relics and have certain collection value, they are not of much excavation value to Ye Tian and the three-party joint exploration team, so they can only be left to the Egyptians!

After confirming this point, Ye Tian asked Jack and the others to end their exploration at this point, to explore the batch of metal objects buried at a depth of more than seven meters underground, and see what those metal objects were!

Next, Jack and the others changed to another person and continued to explore the cave.

Ye Tian and the others left here and returned to the excavation site on the other side to see the progress there.

When they came here, the stone pillar buried in the mountain had been dug out to nearly four meters, but it still stood in the big pit on the top of the mountain.

On this stone pillar, it was covered with sand, which completely covered the words and patterns engraved on the stone pillar, so that everyone could not see what was on this stone pillar.

When he came to the entrance of the pit, Ye Tian looked at the condition of the stone pillars and the progress of the excavation, and then said to the two Israeli explorers who were digging at the bottom of the pit:

"For the sake of safety, you should go up first, and then push this ancient stone pillar to see if it can be pushed. If it cannot be pushed, it means that it is buried very deep and its foundation is very strong. Then you can go down and continue digging!

If this stone pillar can be pushed, it means that the root is about to be dug. Safety measures must be taken before you can go down and continue digging, otherwise accidents will easily happen. I don’t want to see that kind of thing happen! "

"Okay, Steven, we'll come up right away"

The two Israeli explorers responded in unison, and then climbed up from the bottom of the pit.

Next, they pushed the thick stone pillar.

as expected!

The stone pillar swayed a little, but it didn't fall down, which meant that it was not far from the root. If you dig a little further, the stone pillar may fall down!

After confirming this point, everyone immediately started to take safety measures, and tied a safety rope to the top of the stone pillar to pull it aside.

In this way, the exploration team digging at the bottom of the pit only needs to avoid this side.

Two Israeli explorers entered the bottom of the pit again and continued digging.

About half an hour later, this ancient and mysterious stone pillar was completely dug out.

This is an ancient stone pillar with a height of about 5.5 meters. The diameter of the top is only about 30 centimeters, but the diameter of the bottom is more than 80 centimeters. The total weight is estimated to be no less than ten tons.

Seeing this ancient stone pillar still stuck in the pit, everyone was very excited and also made troubles!

How do you get this thing out of the pit? This is the top of the mountain, not the flat land below the mountain. The crane can't get up at all, and it's almost impossible to drag it out by manpower!

More importantly, this stone pillar is very likely to be a priceless treasure, which is of great research value. It must not be pulled out by force, or pulled out with brute force, which may cause irreparable huge losses!

Just when everyone was in trouble, Ye Tian had already figured out a solution.

That is to use a combination winch, place the winch directly above the stone pillar, and cooperate with manpower to pull out this ancient stone pillar little by little!
