Treasure Hunt all over the World

Following the discovery of the golden statue of King David, Joshua could no longer restrain his excitement, enthusiasm overflowed from his eye sockets in an instant, and tears filled his eyes in a blink of an eye.

Several other Israelis at the scene, one counted as one, were almost crazy with excitement.

After a while, their emotions calmed down a little.

Immediately afterwards, Joshua said with red eyes:

"Steven, I must inform Jerusalem and tell them what happened here, and what the tripartite joint exploration team found here? There can be no delay!

The importance and special significance of the golden statues of King Saul and King David, I believe you are very clear, they are sacred objects for all Jews, and nothing can go wrong!

Notify Jerusalem as soon as possible, so that our Israeli government can also prepare early to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur, so as not to be caught off guard, which will be troublesome! "

Ye Tian looked at this excited old friend, pondered for a while, then nodded and said:

"Well, Joshua, since you insist on doing this, I can't stop it, but I hope you can keep it strictly confidential and don't spread this news.

You also know the situation outside the castle complex. Once this news spreads, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and even make some crazy guys take risks! "

"Understood, Steven, we care more about the safety of these priceless treasures than anyone else, and we will never leak the secrets. Any Israeli who dares to leak the secrets will be hanged!"

Joshua nodded and said with a firm tone.

While saying this, he quickly glanced at several other Israelis, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

Without exception, those guys all nodded with firm eyes.

Ye Tian looked at them, then smiled and said:

"Okay, Joshua, you can contact Jerusalem, but for safety's sake, it's best to call in the Noah's Ark Church instead of going outside!"

"No problem, Steven, thank you for understanding"

Joshua nodded in response, and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.

As soon as he walked away,

Mustafa went on to say:

"Steven, I must inform Mr. President of the situation here. The treasure hidden in this underground cave is really important, not only for Israel, but also for us in Ethiopia!"

Now that the Israelis have been opened, the Ethiopians must be treated equally, otherwise it will be a double standard.

Ye Tian looked at the high-ranking Ethiopian official, then nodded.

"No problem, Mustafa, of course you can inform the Ethiopian President of the situation here, but I have a request that must be kept strictly confidential!"

"We know what to do, Steven"

Mustafa nodded in response, then stepped aside to make a phone call.

Next came the Deputy Director of the Vatican Museums, who also made the same request.

For this old friend's request, Ye Tian could only nod his head in agreement, he couldn't treat one more favorably than another!

Seeing the three of them going to call their immediate superiors, he immediately nodded to David.

David understood immediately, took out his cell phone, and started contacting the White House to explain the situation here.

At the same time, Ye Tian signaled Derek and the others to suspend their exploration and let the two small drones hover at a depth of ten meters in the underground cave.

As several phone calls were made one after another, the highest levels of the four countries, Israel, Ethiopia, the Vatican, and the United States, were immediately shocked by this amazing discovery.

Israel, in particular, reacted most strongly.

The Prime Minister of Israel who received the call was almost crazy with excitement.

After cheering and celebrating, the Prime Minister calmed down.

The next moment, he picked up the phone and started calling the Israeli military, intelligence agencies, and diplomatic agencies to mobilize all forces to protect this astonishing treasure.

It didn't take long for several Israeli warships on the Red Sea to receive orders to approach the Ethiopian coastline.

The marines on several warships quickly armed themselves and were ready to enter Ethiopia at any time.

Several military airports located in Israel soon became busy.

A large number of elite pilots of the Israeli Air Force rushed to the tarmac one after another, began to check their fighters, replenish and load ammunition, and were ready to launch a long-distance attack at any time!

Many Israeli diplomats in Ethiopia, as well as a large number of intelligence personnel and agents, also took action, rushing towards Gondar from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, many warships of the US military cruising in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, as well as several military bases in Saudi Arabia, received orders from the White House and immediately got busy!

Ethiopia and the Vatican were not idle either, they all took action and sent some relevant personnel to go straight to Gondar!

Noah's Ark Church.

Joshua and Mustafa had finished their calls and returned to the center of the church.

When they all came back, Ye Tian smiled and asked:

"Gentlemen, is there anything else you want to call? Is there anyone to call?"

Joshua and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads together.

"No more calls, Steven"

"Well!"

Ye Tian nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Matisse, implement signal shielding on the Noah's Ark Church to prevent people from calling or sending messages to leak secrets. Only one intercom channel will be reserved, and all other communication signals will be strangled!"

"Got it, Steven, leave this to us"

Mattis responded and immediately acted.

The expressions of the Israelis and Ethiopians in the Noah's Ark church changed, and they complained secretly!

"I'll go! The bastard Steven is so cautious!"

Joshua and the others looked at each other again, but didn't say much.

In just a moment, the communication signal of Noah's Ark Church was cut off.

Next, except for Ye Tian himself, no one in the church could send any news to the outside world.

Under Ye Tian's signal, the exploration continued.

The two small drones hovered deep in the cave, and then flew to the surrounding cave walls to check the situation in those places.

In addition to the golden statue of King David, there are several other statues of figures on the walls around the cave.

These statues are all from the Old Testament and are historical figures in the Old Testament.

Among them are Jacob who wrestled with God, Esther who is wise and brave, Elijah, the most dramatic prophet in Israel, etc., and so on!

Unlike the gold statues of Saul and King David, the statues of these Old Testament historical figures are either marble or bronze statues!

Those statues are already covered with moss, shiny green.

Especially those bronze statues must have been rusted under the moss.

The discovery of these statues of Old Testament historical figures once again aroused exclamations in the Noah's Ark Church and shocked everyone.

Several Israelites headed by Joshua flushed with excitement.

There is no other reason, because these Old Testament historical figures are the prophets and saints of the Israelites!

More importantly, these marble and bronze statues basically come from BC.

Among them, there is only one sculpture with a slightly exaggerated shape, which has a bit of African culture.

It should have been created by Beta Israelis after they settled in Ethiopia and gradually localized.

In addition to these statues of Old Testament historical figures, at this depth of the cave, there are also some statues of angels.

These statues were all created later, and they are rich in African culture.

In addition, the terrain here is more complex.

There are some sharp stalagmites on the ground, many upside-down stalactites on the surrounding cave walls, and several small caves with different shapes and unknown depths.

Those caves are very small, the diameter of the entrance of the largest cave is less than fifty centimeters, and the inside is winding and dark.

Whether there is anything hidden in the cave or whether there is any danger is unknown.

In the only relatively flat place at this depth, there are four or five boxes.

The boxes were small and covered with moss.

No one knows exactly what is inside the box, and the answer can only be known by opening it.

After a while, the situation in this area has been roughly explored.

Compared to the area where Saul's golden statue is located, there are relatively few things hidden here, but more valuable!

Except for the golden statue of King David, the statues of the prophets and saints of Israel are all invaluable, and they are very rare top-level antiques.

Seeing that the exploration of this area was basically completed, Ye Tiancai gave an appraisal conclusion.

"According to my visual observation, the golden statue of King David in the depths of the cave should have come from BC, and it was probably brought out of Jerusalem when the ancestors of the Beta Israelites escaped from Jerusalem.

If this speculation is correct, it can prove that the legend that Menelik I took away a large number of treasures when he escaped from Jerusalem in chaos is likely to be true, rather than a illusory legend.

As for whether the treasures that Menelik I took away were the legendary Solomon's Treasure, the famous holy relic of the Three Religions, the Ark of the Covenant, whether it was in this batch of treasures, it has not yet been proved! "

Following his words, the scene immediately boiled again.

"Wow! This golden statue of David is also from BC and was brought out of Jerusalem by Menelik I, which is amazing!"

"If it can be proved that this golden statue of David came from Solomon's temple, then there is no doubt that it is part of King Solomon's treasure!"

Everyone was talking and everyone was excited.

Because of different positions, opinions and ideas are also different.

The Israelites hope that the treasure hidden in this underground cave is part of the legendary Solomon's treasure!

In contrast to them, Ethiopians don't think so.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

“As for King David, I still want to introduce him. He is the second king in Israel’s history and is known as one of the greatest kings of the Israelites. God called him the man after his heart.

The rest of the statues of the Israeli prophets and saints in the cave, judging from the sculpture art style displayed, most of them also came from BC, and they are all top-notch antiques,..."

Next, he briefly introduced the discovery deep in the cave.

Following his introduction, there were constant exclamations at the scene, and everyone became more excited.

After a while, Ye Tian finished his introduction.

Immediately afterwards, he said to his employees:

"Guys, continue to explore, fly down the slope deep in the cave, and see what secrets are hidden in the deeper depths of this underground cave? It may be a big surprise!

When flying down, be careful and try not to let the two small drones touch anything to avoid accidents, especially watch out for those raised stalagmites on the slopes! "

"Don't worry, Steven, we will be careful!"

Derek and the others responded in unison, everyone was full of confidence.

The next moment, the two small drones hovering in the cave flew deeper into the cave along the slippery slope deep in the cave.

The video screen presented on the ipad also changed accordingly.

There are also many traces left by the Beta Israelites in this cave that slopes down and resembles a passageway.

On the top of the cave and on the walls on both sides, there are several sculptures that are integrated with the cave!

These sculptures are exaggerated in shape and relatively rough, and they all have a very strong African cultural color. They are not very old, only three or four hundred years old.

On the cave walls on both sides of this section of the cave, there are several round holes for inserting torches, but the inside is empty.

The two small drones flew and stopped, rising and falling, bypassing the protruding stalagmites and the stalactites hanging down, and flew deeper into the cave little by little.

On several occasions, both small drones almost hit protruding stalagmites or stalactites, almost always avoiding at the last moment, very thrilling!

Watching this scene, everyone's heart was raised to their throats, and they were very nervous.

Fortunately, Derek and the others have a high level of exploration and experience in manipulating small drones, so there is no danger.

After a while, two small drones finally passed through this narrow, dangerous corridor and flew safely to the deepest part of the cave!

It's very bright here thanks to those lighting glow sticks that slid down earlier.

As soon as the small drone flew here, an incomparably bright golden light flashed across the screens of the iPads in everyone's hands!

Ye Tian, ​​Joshua and the others, who were watching with an ipad, closed their eyes at the same time to adapt to the sudden change in light!

When they opened their eyes again and looked at the ipad screen, everyone was stunned for an instant.

The area in the deepest part of the cave is not large, only less than twenty square meters, and it is irregularly circular, but the location is very deep.

The corridor where the small drone flew in was located on the east wall of the cave, about two meters from the ground at the bottom of the cave, like an opening in the wall.

The inside of this section of the cave is relatively flat, and the highest point of the cave is no more than five meters from the bottom of the cave. It looks like an empty living room.

On the top of the cave, there are many stalactites hanging upside down, with different shapes and strange shapes.

There should have been some stalagmites on the cave floor, but they had already been smashed to pieces.

There are also many traces of artificial excavation on the surrounding cave walls, and the cave walls appear to be relatively flat.

What shocked everyone was not the underground cave itself, but the things hidden in the cave.

The first thing everyone saw was a small altar, facing the entrance of the corridor on the east wall of the cave!

As soon as the small drone flew here, the first thing to take pictures was this simple altar.

On this small altar, there are only two things.

The first thing is a seven-branch candlestick, about half a meter high, covered with moss.

Behind the seven-branch candlestick is a golden statue.

The figure carved is a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and holding a scepter. He has a thick beard, sharp edges and corners, and firm eyes.

That was the golden statue of King Solomon, only about 60 centimeters high, and the carving was exquisite and lifelike.

The reason why everyone recognizes this is the golden statue of King Solomon at a glance is very simple.

On the chest of this golden statue, a golden hexagram is engraved.

The six-pointed star is also known as the seal of King Solomon, a symbol of King Solomon, and a symbol of the entire Jewish nation and Israel!

Just this golden hexagram is enough to prove that this is the golden statue of King Solomon!

In fact, even without the golden hexagram, everyone would have come to the same conclusion.

You know, the golden statues of Saul and King David are on it.

Besides the greatest king in the history of the Jewish nation, King Solomon, who else is qualified to be placed together with these two golden statues and placed on the altar in the deepest part of the cave?

So far, all the golden statues of the three kings of Israel have been collected, and they are all in the same underground cave!

There is no doubt that this is definitely a great archaeological discovery that shocked the world!

Once this discovery is announced, it will definitely cause a huge sensation and shock everyone!

The first to be shocked were Ye Tian and Joshua who were in the Noah's Ark Church.

At this time, they all looked dumbfounded.

"The seven-branch candlestick, the golden statue of King Solomon, and the seal of King Solomon! There is no doubt that this is the legendary treasure of Solomon!"

Joshua muttered to himself, almost insane.

Mustafa next to him, the deputy director of the Vatican Museum, and several other people all behaved in the same way, and everyone's eyes were full of madness.

Only Ye Tian woke up from the shock in the blink of an eye.

He looked at these crazy guys, and then patted his palms lightly.

"Crack!"

With the crisp applause, everyone at the scene suddenly woke up.

The next moment, bursts of crazy exclamations sounded immediately.

"Oh my god! The legendary Solomon's Treasure actually exists, and it's not a illusory legend. It's simply unbelievable!"

"By God, we have finally found the legendary treasure of Solomon, definitely one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time!"

While everyone was exclaiming, Joshua suddenly stepped out, and was about to walk into the prayer room ahead.

Apparently, this guy has lost his mind a bit!

As soon as he started, he was grabbed by Ye Tian, ​​and his reaction was very fast.

Ye Tianchong shook his head lightly at his old friend, and said with a smile:

"Until the situation is thoroughly investigated, no one can break into this cave deep underground, including you, Joshua, I hope you don't make things difficult for me!"

Joshua stopped passively, paused for a moment, and then regained consciousness.

He was still staring at the prayer room in front of him, his eyes were extremely fanatical and excited.

"I'm sure, Steven, the treasure hidden in the cave under our feet is the legendary Solomon's treasure, and the golden statue of King Solomon is the most powerful proof!

In relevant ancient books, when the sages of Israel mentioned Solomon's treasure, they mentioned this golden statue of King Solomon more than once. I didn't expect this golden statue to actually exist! "

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"What you said is not accurate, Joshua, it should be said that the treasure hidden in this underground cave is part of the legendary treasure of King Solomon, not all of it!

Now it is basically certain that after the death of King Solomon, Jerusalem fell into chaos, and the treasures stored in Solomon's temple were looted by people taking advantage of the chaos.

As far as is known, this huge treasure may have been divided into two parts, or even three parts, a small part of which remained near Jerusalem and was circulated in secret.

Until the Middle Ages, this part of Solomon's treasure fell into the hands of the Knights Templar, who were taken to Portugal and hidden under the Church of Santa Maria in Tomar.

The seven-branch gold candlestick and King Solomon's ring we found in Tomar before are from Solomon's treasure, and they are the most direct proof! "

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded vigorously.

As for the discovery of the Holy Grail and the treasure of King Solomon, everyone is very clear, and the employees of the Daring One Exploration Company even participated in it personally!

While nodding endlessly, everyone became even more excited. Everyone's face was flushed, and their eyes were extremely fanatical.

Following Ye Tian's words, everyone was sure.

The legendary Solomon's treasure does exist, part of which is hidden in this cave deep underground, right in front of everyone's eyes, and within easy reach!

Thinking of this, everyone was trembling with excitement, and their eyes were burning hot!

Everyone can't wait to enter this cave located deep in the ground immediately, reveal the treasure of Solomon hidden in the cave, and shock the whole world!

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, raised his hands and pressed down gently, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

The scene immediately fell silent, only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing remained.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"The other part of Solomon's treasure obviously fell into the hands of Menelik I, and he and some Israelis took advantage of the chaos to take it out of Jerusalem and bring it to Ethiopia.

The treasure hidden in this underground cave is the part of Solomon's treasure that Menelik I brought to Ethiopia, or part of that Solomon's treasure!

The golden statue of King Solomon you just saw is an item in Solomon's treasure, but the seven-branched candlestick in front of the golden statue was made by Beta Israelites.

On that candlestick, you can see the obvious African cultural color. It was the gold seven-branch candlestick we found in Tomar that should have been placed in front of this golden statue!

It is a pity that in this cave deep underground, we have not seen the existence of the Ark of the Covenant. If the Ark of the Covenant was also brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I, where is it?

Is the Ark of the Covenant hidden somewhere else in Ethiopia? Or it fell into someone else's hands back in Jerusalem and has never been seen again, it could all exist! "

Following Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene fell into deep thought.

yes! Where is the Ark of the Covenant?

Is it really in the Church of St. Mary in Axum?
