Treasure Hunt all over the World

Latest website: Chapter 3165 Shela Ruins

About twenty minutes later, Ye Tian and his team arrived at the ruins of Shela.

The ruins of Sherra, located outside the Rabat Palace, are the ruins of the ancient city of Sherra and the royal tombs of Morocco's Melinid dynasty.

It is now a key cultural relic protection unit in Rabat and a famous tourist attraction.

In ancient times, the ancient city of Shela was originally an important port city in North Africa during the era of Phoenicia, Carthage and the ancient Roman Empire. It was as famous as the ancient cities of Volubilis and Bernassar in Morocco.

By the fifth century AD, the ancient city of Shela was gradually abandoned.

In the 12th century AD, Abu Hassan, the "Black Sultan" of Morocco's Melinid dynasty, chose Rabat as his capital, built a city wall, and delineated the imperial mausoleum based on the ruins of the ancient city of Shela.

According to research, after the death of the Black Sultan Abu Hassan and his beloved concubine, they were buried in this royal cemetery.

Unfortunately, during the Lisbon earthquake in 1775, the ancient city of Serra and the Royal Cemetery were razed to ruins. They are now covered with trees and have become the habitat of a large number of storks.

On the ruins of Shela, you can vaguely see the terrace garden, triumphal arch, Senate, forum, court, public baths and other architectural complexes from the ancient Roman period.

The outer city walls, mosque minarets, princess tombstones and life-release ponds built during the Melinids dynasty have basically maintained their original appearance.

After development and protection by the Moroccan government, the ruins of Shela have become a famous tourist attraction in Rabat.

Most people who come to Rabat come here to visit.

When Ye Tian and the others arrived here, it was not yet five o'clock, and there were still crowds of people inside and outside the Shela ruins, which was very lively.

The arrival of this team attracted a lot of attention.

People near the entrance of the scenic spot all looked at the convoy, and everyone was curious.

"Who are the people in these cars? They can actually drive the car directly to the entrance of the Shela ruins. It's quite a scene!"

"Do you still need to ask? They must be from the privileged class. Didn't you see those police officers guarding them?"

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that it was him, the square in front of the ruins of Shela immediately began to boil.

"Look, it's that lucky guy named Steven. Could it be that they came to the ruins of Shela to explore for treasure? What treasures and secrets could be buried here?"

"It's really possible. Don't forget, the ruins of Shela not only contain the ruins of the royal cemetery, but also the ruins of the ancient city of Shela. The possibility of treasures buried in such a place is very high!"

While many tourists were talking about it, reporters from the media were also flocking in.

Before they could get close, they were stopped by numerous security personnel.

These guys could only stay outside the cordon and shout questions at the top of their lungs.

"Good afternoon, Steven, I am a reporter from the National Geographic Channel. Are you here to visit the Shela Ruins or are you here to explore the treasures? Can you tell me the situation?"

"Hello, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from Morocco's national television. Did you find anything in the ruins of Shela? That's why you came here."

Hearing the question, Ye Tian immediately laughed.

He glanced at the media reporters and then said loudly:

"Good afternoon, friends from the media, thank you for your attention. You are overthinking it. We are just here to visit the Shela Ruins, not to explore the treasures.

Of course, we may make surprising discoveries during our visit to the Shela Ruins, and in that case, we wouldn’t mind exploring here.”

Before he could even finish his words, the scene was already going crazy.

The purpose of Steven's visit to the Shela Ruins is indeed not simple. I wonder if this extremely lucky guy will discover something? What else can be found?

Hearing this, Yahya, as well as several other Moroccan officials, experts and scholars standing aside, felt a sense of panic.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly smiled and whispered:

"Yahya, during the next visit, if I really find any treasures in the Shela ruins, can I start exploration here?

If there are really many valuable antiques and works of art hidden in this treasure, how should we distribute this treasure? Is it in accordance with the signed agreement? "

Hearing this, Yahya and the others were dumbfounded.

At the same time, they also realize that this possibility does exist and is very high.

If there are any unknown treasures or major secrets inside the ruins of Shela or deep underground, it is really possible for this guy Steven to discover them.

The same thing has happened more than once in other exploration operations led by this guy.

Wherever this guy has been, no matter what treasures or secrets are hidden, it seems that nothing can escape his sharp eyes. He will find them one by one, and then sweep them away!

Thinking of this, Yahya's expressions suddenly became more solemn.

However, they are looking forward to such a miracle happening.

Since the Lisbon earthquake in 1775, the ruins of Shela have existed here for more than 200 years, but no one has ever discovered any treasures or secrets here.

If this magical guy like Steven really finds a treasure, that would be a good thing. Morocco can get at least half of the treasure, right?

After a moment of silence, Yahya said:

"Steven, can you start an exploration operation in the ruins of Shela? If treasures are found, how should they be distributed? I will ask for instructions when needed on this matter, and I will give you the answer later."

Ye Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and joy flashed in his eyes.

What he said just now was just a joke. He didn't expect such a result, which made him pleasantly surprised.

Such a famous historical site as Shela Ruins, since you are here, of course you can’t miss it!

He really wants to explore here, and he might make surprising discoveries.

However, the Shela ruins are not included in the plan of this tripartite joint exploration operation and are not on the list of exploration locations.

Moreover, this is a famous tourist attraction. Under normal circumstances, the Moroccan government will not allow him to explore here.

What he didn't expect was that Yahya would give such a reaction.

How could he refuse such a good thing?

"Okay, Yahya, you can report it. I hope there will be a good result. My condition is that if anything is discovered, the distribution will be carried out in full accordance with the treasure distribution agreement we signed before!"

"I will feed back your request. As for the outcome, I don't know."

Yahya nodded in response, then took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and his group walked towards the door of Shela Ruins.

Under the development of the Moroccan government, the ruins of Shela have been developed into a tourist attraction.

The entire scenic spot is surrounded by city walls and guardrails.

The city wall is a historical relic from the Melinid dynasty of Morocco. There are not many left, and most of them are in tatters, full of historical vicissitudes.

As for the guardrails, they are modern items and were built by the Moroccan government.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others walking towards the entrance of the scenic spot, the surrounding media reporters and people watching the excitement immediately followed them, rushing towards the entrance of the scenic spot like a tide.

Even some guys who had just finished visiting and were about to leave here rushed to follow them, with the intention of returning to the scenic spot immediately to visit again.

Obviously, no one is willing to let go of this opportunity to watch the excitement.

What if Steven, an extremely lucky guy, really makes a major discovery? Wouldn't it be a pity if he missed it?

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot.

The scenic gate of the Shela ruins was built by the Moroccan government into an Arab-style castle building, which looks majestic and majestic!

Pass through the gate below the castle to enter the ruins of Shela.

On both sides of the city gate, several drummers in national costumes stood beating the drums to welcome tourists.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others approaching, these Moroccan drummers immediately sped up their rhythm, and the drums kept ringing.

Everyone knew what the drummers meant, and they were obviously asking for tips.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded to an employee.

The employee understood immediately, took out some cash and handed it to the drummers.

Afterwards, everyone walked into the ruins of Shela.

After passing through the city gate, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge ruin.

Except for an ancient minaret, all the other buildings here collapsed in the Lisbon earthquake more than 200 years ago, leaving only sections of high or low stone walls.

There are also stone pillars, stone tablets, various architectural fragments, and the bases of many buildings all over the ground. It is desolate!

In this ruins, there are large tracts of woods growing, and there are more towering date palm trees, which are shaded by green trees.

And further away, there is the blue Atlantic Ocean, which is endless and the scenery is very good.

After entering the ruins of Shela, everyone stood on the steps inside the city gate and took an overall look at this famous ruins.

A Moroccan archaeologist who replaced Yahya was introducing the situation of the ruins of Shela.

"Gentlemen, the ruins of Shela that you are currently in include two parts. They are architectural remains built in two different eras.

One part is the ancient city of Sera where the Romans lived when the Roman Empire occupied Morocco around BC. In fact, the ancient city of Sera has a much longer history.

As early as around the 12th century BC, when the Phoenicians ruled this land, the ancient city of Serra existed, and then later during the Carthage and ancient Roman empires.

For 1,780 years, the ancient city of Shela was an important port city in North Africa. In the fifth century AD, with the decline of the Western Roman Empire, the city of Shela also gradually declined.

The other part was built in the twelfth century AD. The Black Sultan Abu Hasan of the Melinid Dynasty made Rabat his capital. The ancient city of Shela, which had declined for a long time, quickly prospered again.

The Black Sultan built a magnificent imperial mausoleum in the ancient city. After his death, he and his beloved concubines were all buried in this imperial mausoleum until the Lisbon earthquake destroyed everything! "

Listening to this introduction, everyone nodded.

At the same time, everyone’s understanding of the ancient city of Shela has also deepened a lot.

After a pause, the Moroccan archaeologist continued:

"Everyone, please take a look at the towering minaret. It is the most complete building in the Serra ruins. It was miraculously preserved in the Lisbon Emperor.

To the left of the minaret is the ancient city of Serra, where the ancient Romans lived. You can see the ancient Roman terrace garden, triumphal arch, senate, forum, court, public baths and other architectural complexes.

On the right side of the minaret is the cemetery built by the Black Sultan Abu Hassan. The outer city walls, minaret, princess tombstone and release pool built at that time have basically maintained their original appearance.

Due to the later construction period, the preservation of the buildings in this part of the cemetery is better, while the condition in the ancient city of Shela is worse. Steven, where do you plan to start your visit? "

Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:

“I plan to start the tour from the ancient city of Shela. In comparison, I am more interested in the ruins of the ancient city of Shela. I really want to see the traces left by the ancient Romans on this land.

I am not too interested in the ruins of the royal cemetery of the Merinid Dynasty, or to be precise, all historical sites such as cemeteries. Under normal circumstances, I will not explore these places.

Of course, this is just my personal choice. Everyone is free to move around and visit the Shela ruins. Just pay attention to safety. If you find anything during the visit, you can contact me."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Afterwards, everyone was ready to disperse and go visit each other with great interest.

Some people, including Professor Paul, chose to act with Ye Tian.

They knew clearly that only by following Ye Tian would they have the greatest chance of discovering unknown treasures and secrets.

At this moment, Yahya had finished making the phone call and walked through the city gate into the ruins of Shela.

As soon as he came in, he went straight to Ye Tian and said in a low voice:

"Steven, I just asked His Majesty the King for instructions, and His Majesty has agreed that you can explore the Shela ruins during your visit.

If you discover something here, such as an unknown treasure somewhere, we can distribute it according to the previously signed treasure distribution agreement.

But we have a condition. If the antiques, cultural relics and artworks in this treasure are closely related to Islam, we hope to acquire them all."

Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately gave the answer.

"It's great that His Majesty the King allows me to launch exploration operations here. There is no doubt that this is the answer I want to hear most. I will thank His Majesty later.

I hope I can find something in the ruins of Shela, and discover some unknown treasure or secret. As for the distribution of the treasure, I think it is reasonable to divide it in half.

It is no secret that I personally do not collect religiously related antique artifacts and art, and if such items were discovered today, I would be happy to dispose of them where they are! "

"Okay, Steven, then there is no doubt. You can start exploring. I hope you can find something."

Yahya nodded and said, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Afterwards, Ye Tian led the team down the steps and walked straight into the ruins of the ancient city of Shela.

Soon after, others came down the steps.

Everyone immediately dispersed. Some went to visit the Royal Cemetery, while others followed Ye Tian and walked into the ancient city of Shela.

The media reporters who followed him, as well as the many tourists watching the excitement, all followed Ye Tian closely, staring at his every move.

Without exception, everyone is looking forward to a miracle happening.
