Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 3088 The Second Golden Candlestick

After about an hour.

Four Israeli exploration team members wearing a full set of protective equipment descended from the cliff on the west side of the castle one after another and entered the hidden cave.

After entering the cave, these guys were cautious and began to explore step by step.

Using the surveillance cameras they wear and two small drones leading the way ahead, Ye Tian directs the exploration operation through the surveillance video on the ground.

"Guys, there is a crack on the ground three meters ahead. The crack is not wide, but you still have to be careful, don't step into the crack, and be careful if there are poisonous snakes hidden in it!"

Ye Tian said through the walkie-talkie.

At this time, he was holding an ipad in his hand, and the real-time exploration screen was displayed on it.

What appeared on the video screen was a dark and damp cave and several powerful searchlights.

The cave is rugged, with jagged rocks and twists and turns. The walls and roof on both sides are covered with moss, which is very slippery.

The situation on the ground is the same, and some green snake skins will appear from time to time, which makes the scalp tingle just looking at it.

The four Israeli exploration team members who entered the cave to explore lined up and moved forward cautiously under the leadership of the small drone in front.

For safety, each of them is tied with a safety rope.

These safety ropes lead to the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the cliff. They are tied to the trunks of several big trees. They are very strong, and several security personnel are watching at the scene.

In addition, the four exploration team members are tied to each other with a safety rope and are closely connected.

In this way, even if someone stumbles, they will not fall into the gaps in the cave, or fall into some covered caves, and the person who stumbles will be caught by the other three people instantly.

"Got it, Steven, we see the crack"

The lead Israel Exploration team responded.

As he spoke, he used his alpenstock to pick up a piece of green snakeskin in front of him.

Along the way, they have picked up an unknown number of green snake skins.

Fortunately, so far they haven't come across a live Night Snake,

It was a near miss.

As for the snake eggs of the Night Demon Snake, they found quite a few, but those things did not pose any threat.

Axum city government officials who were also watching the real-time exploration screen saw the eggs of the Night Demon Snake, but their faces were ashen.

He has already reported the situation here.

When this joint exploration operation is over, the Axum side is likely to immediately block the mountain, and then completely burn this frightening snake cave to prevent future troubles.

While speaking, the Israeli explorers had come to the gap in the cave, and lowered their heads to check the situation of the gap.

The gap was about 15 centimeters wide and over a meter long. It was dark inside, and no one knew exactly what was hidden there.

The width of the gap is not enough for people to fall in, but it is enough to get stuck on people's feet and legs, making people unable to move.

In such a perilous cave, if those who come in to explore are stuck here and there is no one to rescue them, it will be over!

In case there are several night snakes hidden in this gap, the people who get stuck will surely die.

Several Israeli exploration team members checked the situation of the gap, then carefully walked around it and continued to move forward.

Not far ahead, just a turn, followed by a long uphill.

The key point is that the ground of this section of the cave is extremely wet and slippery, and it is difficult for people to stand firm when walking up.

Fortunately, there are many raised stalagmites here, which can be used to borrow strength. Coupled with the ropes they carry with them, it is not difficult to conquer this cave.

Several Israeli exploration team members stopped here to rest for a while to recover their strength.

At the same time, Ye Tian was also introducing the techniques for passing through this cave.

"Guys, use the rope to trap the stalagmite protruding from the ground three meters above the slope, then grab the rope and go up to the stalagmite, and stand there."

"Got it, Steven, we know what to do"

The explorer who led the team responded.

After a short rest, the leader untied a set of safety ropes from his waist and quickly made a noose.

Then he took aim, and the probe threw the noose toward the protruding stalagmite.

Unbiased, the noose fit right over the stalagmite and hung securely.

The leader immediately tightened the noose and tested its strength, and it was still very firm.

After confirming that there was no problem, the team leader took the safety rope and walked up first.

During the ascent, his feet kept slipping, but with the assistance of the safety rope, he quickly reached the stalagmite three meters above.

After arriving there, he used another stalagmite next to him to stabilize his figure.

Next, the other three exploration team members also came up one after another and came to this position.

When they got together, Ye Tian's next instruction came from the walkie-talkie.

"Guys, there is a stalagmite protruding from the ground at about 2.56 meters to the upper right of you. You continue to follow the method just now, and the small drone will guide the target"

Before the words were finished, a small drone flew over and hovered not far from the upper right of several exploration team members.

Under the small drone was a stalagmite protruding from the ground.

After specifying the target, the small drone flew upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the Israeli expedition team leader took off the noose, aimed at the target, and then threw the noose in his hand!

...

Soon, more than half an hour has passed.

After a difficult trek, the four-person Israeli exploration team finally arrived at the location of the treasure without any risk.

The so-called treasure location is the cave under Ye Tian's feet, where the metal objects discovered before are hidden.

At this point, everyone in the Israeli exploration team was in a panic, but nothing happened.

After entering this section of the cave, they saw those metal objects at a glance.

Afterwards, a few of them walked forward cautiously and began to clean up.

They observed the scene first, and after confirming that it was safe, they picked out the green snakeskins on these metal objects and threw the snakeskins aside.

Then, they began to clean the dust and moss from the metal objects.

The first target to clean up is the seven-branch candlestick placed on the outermost edge of the platform.

As the dust and moss on the seven-branch candlestick were gently wiped off, a golden light flashed in the cave immediately, which was extremely dazzling.

The real-time live broadcast screen is the same, golden light is shining brightly.

No matter the few exploration team members in the cave or other people on the ground, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

"My God! This is a seven-branch gold candlestick, it is so dazzling! Could this be the seven-branch gold candlestick in Solomon's treasure?"

"Whoa! If this seven-branch gold menorah really came from Jerusalem, then there is no doubt that these metal objects are part of Solomon's treasure!"

The people on the ground watching the real-time exploration screen all exclaimed.

The four Israeli explorers who cleaned the seven-branch gold candlestick underground were even more excited, their eyes were shining, and their bodies were trembling slightly.

As Israelis, they know very well what the seven-branch gold candlestick means.

That is the symbol of Israel, and one of the symbols of the Jewish people!

Among all the seven-branch candlesticks, the most precious is the seven-branch gold candlestick that was once enshrined in Solomon's Temple, which is one of the holy objects in the minds of the Israelites.

Just when everyone was exclaiming, Anthony suddenly said in surprise:

"Steven, haven't we already found the seven-branch gold candlestick enshrined in Solomon's Temple in Portugal? It's hidden in the treasure of the Knights Templar.

What is going on with this seven-branch golden candlestick deep underground? The same seven-branch gold candlestick, could it be that there are two in Solomon's Temple, and one is lost here? "

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Until then, everyone remembered.

According to legend, the seven-branch gold candlestick that was once enshrined in Solomon's Temple was found by the brave and fearless exploration company a long time ago, and sold to the Israelis, making a lot of money.

After the identification of many top antique experts, historians, and archaeologists, there is no problem with the holy object, and it does come from the Temple of Solomon.

That being the case, what happened to the seven-branch gold candlestick hidden in this underground cave? Is it a fake?

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"Guys, I don't know that there is actually a seven-branch golden candlestick hidden here. Anthony may be right. There may be two seven-branch golden candlesticks in Solomon's Temple, and one of them fell here.

Of course, there is such a possibility! This seven-branch gold candlestick is an imitation of the seven-branch gold candlestick we found in Tomar, Portugal, but the imitation is very early.

They are most likely made in the same period, one was enshrined in Solomon's Temple all the year round, the other was stored in the warehouse as a spare, and another possibility is that this is a gilt copper seven-branch candlestick."

Hearing his explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

After a short pause, the Israeli archaeologist continued:

"If it can be proved that this seven-branch gold candlestick came from Solomon's Temple, no matter whether it is a spare candlestick, whether it is made of pure gold, or whether it is an imitation, it will not prevent it from being a priceless treasure!"

"Indeed, if it really came from Solomon's Temple, it would be a priceless treasure!"

Ye Tian nodded, expressing his approval.

Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Guys, take a look at the weight of this seven-branch gold candlestick. From its weight, you can easily determine whether it is made of pure gold or a gold-plated copper candlestick, but be careful!"

"Okay, Steven, we'll be careful!"

The leader of the exploration team responded.

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, and under the protection of the other two explorers, he carefully picked up the seven-branch golden candlestick, feeling its weight.

As soon as he picked up the seven-branch golden candlestick, the guy gave a surprised cry.

Afterwards, he carefully put down the seven-branch candlestick, and then said through the intercom:

"Steven, the weight of this seven-branch candlestick is not very heavy. It doesn't feel like it's made of gold. It looks like a bronze candlestick. It seems that you are right. This is a gold-plated copper candlestick."

"It turned out not to be a seven-branch gold candlestick, but what is certain is that it is also a top-level antique cultural relic, which is invaluable. It can even be said to be a religious relic!"

Ye Tian responded, without the slightest disappointment.

Others were not, and were more or less disappointed.

Next, the Israeli exploration team moved on to remove other metal objects.

Their second target was the small statue covered in a thick layer of dust and moss.

As before, they took towels and wiped off the dust and moss that had covered the miniature statue.

What appeared next was a rusty bronze sculpture. The whole statue was dull, covered with copper rust, and looked like it was about to collapse.

This bronze sculpture depicts a skinny old man with a shirtless upper body.

He knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked up at the sky with a sad and solemn expression, as if he was praying devoutly.

Although this bronze statue is rusty and crudely carved, it gives people a shocking feeling and is very powerful.

The moment Ye Tian saw this bronze statue on the real-time exploration screen, Ye Tian couldn't help being stunned.

The two archaeologists standing beside him, as well as an expert in the identification of antique cultural relics from Israel, also froze in place.

After a while, Ye Tian just woke up.

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be surprised and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the figure carved on this bronze statue should be the Jewish prophet Job, and this is probably the earliest statue of Job found so far."

Before the words fell, the Israeli archaeologist nodded excitedly and said:

"Yes, Steven, your judgment is very accurate, this is the bronze statue of the Jewish prophet Job, if this bronze statue really came from Jerusalem before 900 BC, from the Temple of Solomon.

Then there is no doubt that it is the oldest statue of Job found so far. It is definitely a priceless top antique cultural relic, and it is also a religious sacred object belonging to all Israelis! "

"What this bronze statue shows is the most classic image of Job. He is talking to God. This bronze statue is really rare and precious, but the corrosion is serious!"

The Israeli antique expert said excitedly.

While excited, this guy is also distressed.

After a while, the Israeli exploration team cleared the bronze statue of Job.

They then proceeded to remove several other metal objects.

Without exception, those few metal items are Jewish religious items, which generally only appear in synagogues or temples.

Among them are two religious items, made entirely of gold, which radiate brilliant golden light under the lights.

The Star of David logo is engraved on those religious items, which are very eye-catching.

There are only a few metal objects hidden in this underground cave.

However, each of these metal items is worth a lot of money, and they can all be regarded as top-level antique relics.

The discovery and birth of them will definitely cause a sensation and bring Ye Tian a huge fortune.

It took about half an hour for the Israeli exploration team to wipe off all the dust and moss on the antique cultural relics and clean them up.

Next, it's time to transport these priceless antiques and relics to the ground!

For the sake of safety, Ye Tian chose to transport the treasure through the entrance of the snake cave in the ruins of the castle, instead of from the cliff to the west of the castle!

The distance on the other side of the cliff is too far, and the terrain leading to the cave is rugged and complicated. If you are not careful, you may damage these priceless top antiques.

No one can afford such a result!

Transfer from the entrance of the snake cave on the side of the ruins of the ancient castle, the distance is relatively short, and the terrain is relatively flat.

The only trouble is that the environment here is too creepy, there are more night snakes dying here, and more snake venom remains!

Fortunately, the protective measures of the Israeli exploration team are in place, and they have adapted to the situation in this underground cave!

Soon, the operation to transfer this treasure has begun.
