Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 3194 The connection between two prehistoric civilizations
Latest website: It was already noon after visiting the Hassan II Mosque.
Ye Tian and the others did not return to the hotel. Instead, they chose a restaurant in the city and had lunch there.
After lunch, the group of them started touring the city.
Unlike other company employees, Ye Tian was not very concerned about the city's scenery since he had been to Casablanca last year.
His more focused targets are the museums, antique shops and galleries, and antique flea markets scattered throughout the city.
After lunch, he went to two antique stores and a gallery.
Although there were some antique cultural relics and works of art in the two antique shops and a gallery, there was nothing to pick up, and there were no top-quality items that could tempt him.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Ye Tian was visiting an antique store, admiring the items displayed here with great interest.
This antique store is not large in scale, but the items sold in it are very miscellaneous.
There are various goods of North African and Arabic style, as well as goods from Europe and the United States, as well as modern handicrafts, tourist souvenirs, handicrafts, etc.
If we judge only from the characteristics of the appearance of the goods, the goods here cover a wide range.
From the Stone Age to modern times, antique artifacts and artworks from all historical eras can be seen here.
As for the authenticity of these so-called antique cultural relics and works of art, it is a matter of opinion and will test the buyer's discernment.
While Ye Tian was visiting the goods in the antique store, the owner of the antique store was always with him, introducing him to the items in the store.
Although the Moroccan antique dealer appeared to be relatively relaxed, the stiff smile on his face, body movements, and worried eyes showed that he was still very nervous.
Obviously, he is also worried that he will be robbed, become the next unlucky person, and become the object of ridicule by others.
Although it is embarrassing to be laughed at, it is not the most important thing.
Relatively speaking, he is more worried that he will miss some priceless treasure, and losing what is probably the biggest opportunity to make a fortune in his life.
That would definitely make someone regret jumping into the Atlantic Ocean.
Fortunately, since Ye Tian entered this antique store, it has not been until now.
Although he inquired about the status of several antique cultural relics and works of art, he never asked about the price, just to get a feel for it.
In other words, he did not show any intention to buy.
His performance made the antique shop owner a little depressed and very confused.
Don’t you even have a good thing in your store? So this guy Steven didn't even bother to ask about the price.
While talking, Ye Tian had already arrived at a shelf in the deepest part of this antique store.
He glanced at the so-called antiques on the shelves, and finally his eyes fell on the half stone pillar placed on the floor.
This half of the stone pillar is about fifty centimeters high and about twenty-five centimeters in diameter. It should be part of a taller stone pillar. The fracture is intertwined with canines.
There are very obvious traces of seawater erosion on its surface, and it must have been salvaged from the sea. The surface is uneven, pitted, and has some traces left by collisions.
Even so, some strange patterns can still be seen on this half of the stone pillar, as well as a few scattered symbols of unknown meaning, which look more like graffiti.
These strange patterns and symbols have nothing to do with the Phoenician civilization, the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations that once existed on this land, and the later Arab and North African civilizations.
It seems to have nothing to do with the most famous ancient Egyptian civilization on the land of Africa.
Seeing this half of the stone pillar, Ye Tian couldn't help but pause.
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down and began to examine the stone pillar and the unknown patterns and symbols carved on the stone pillar.
Professor Yahya and Paul who followed also looked at this half of the stone pillar curiously.
Unfortunately, no one found anything, including Ye Tian.
The owner of the antique shop also looked at the stone pillar, trying to see something, but found nothing.
After examining the entire half of the stone pillar, Ye Tian paused for a moment, and then asked aloud:
"Man, can you tell me the origin of this half of the stone pillar? Where did it come from? Is there any story? Have you studied the patterns and symbols on the stone pillar? What do they mean?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, the antique shop owner couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He did not respond immediately, but looked at the half of the stone pillar again, confused.
But he still found nothing, and then he said:
"Mr. Steven, I don't know much about this half of the stone pillar. I acquired it from a market on the seaside. The reason why I acquired it is because of these patterns and symbols.
According to the person selling the stone pillar, they said it was fished from the bottom of the sea when they were fishing. This half of the stone pillar also destroyed one of their fishing nets, but they did not record the specific location where it was fished."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Professor Paul, Yahya and others suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
Could this half of the stone pillar be related to the legendary Atlantis? It seems possible.
You know, the legendary Atlantis sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean during earthquakes and floods in ancient times!
Thinking of this, they all looked at the half of the stone pillar of unknown origin again, and everyone's eyes shone.
At the same time, the antique shop owner was still introducing the situation.
"After receiving this half of the stone pillar, I also checked some information to see what these patterns and symbols represented, what era or where they came from, but unfortunately I found nothing.
Later, I asked some friends in the industry to look at this half of the stone pillar, but they found nothing. They didn't know where it came from. Mr. Steven, did you see something? "
Ye Tian did not answer immediately, but looked at the half of the stone pillar again, and then fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Like you, I haven't discovered anything and can't determine the origin of this half of the stone pillar, but what is certain is that its history is indeed very long.
Is this half of an ancient stone pillar valuable? I’m not sure, but I think it’s interesting and I want to buy it and study it carefully and make an offer.”
After saying that, he looked at the antique shop owner.
"ah!"
The antique shop owner exclaimed and looked at the half of the stone pillar of unknown origin again.
However, this thing has not changed at all, and it has not given any new revelations.
After hesitating for a moment, he gave the quotation:
"Mr. Steven, the price of this half of the stone pillar is 30,000 US dollars. If you can accept the price, you can take this thing away and take it back for study."
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Man, your offer is too high. I can't accept it. I can't pay $30,000 for such a broken stone pillar of unknown origin.
If it were a fragment of an ancient sculpture, maybe I could accept it, but it’s just a fragment of a building, and I can only give a maximum of two thousand dollars.”
"Two thousand dollars, that's too low!"
The antique shop owner muttered, but a look of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Compared to the price he paid for this half of the stone pillar, the price of two thousand US dollars was more than twenty times higher.
If we measure it from the perspective of multiples, as long as we successfully sell this half of the stone pillar, we will make a huge profit.
However, the antique shop owner was not satisfied with this profit.
This is normal. Who would hate having too much money? What's more, the other party is one of the world's top super rich people. How can you miss such an opportunity?
After thinking for a moment, the antique shop owner gave the answer.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Steven, I really can't accept this price. I can make some concessions, but the minimum is $20,000."
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately shook his head.
"Man, we have too many differences, so let's forget it. I hope you can find a buyer who knows the goods and sell it at a good price!"
After saying that, he looked at another item next to him.
The antique shop owner opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He hesitated to speak.
Yahya and several other Moroccans who were also at the scene were eager to try, but in the end they did not take action.
What if this is a trap deliberately dug by this guy Steven? Don’t be fooled!
The series of tragedies that happened in Rabat Antique and Flea Market are all vivid in my mind, and the smell of blood has not dissipated yet!
It is said that someone spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that day, but bought a bunch of ordinary antiques and works of art of little value, and even fakes, which made him vomit blood!
The reason why that guy was so unlucky was because he kept an eye on Steven and tried to stop him halfway, but he was tricked by this cunning guy until he vomited blood!
Thinking of this, how dare Yahya and the others take action easily!
To them, $20,000 is nothing.
After wandering around the antique store for a while, Ye Tian said goodbye and left, taking David and the others out of the antique store.
Until he walked out of the store, he didn't mention the purchase of the half stone pillar again, as if the person who asked the price just now was not him and there was no such thing.
The antique shop owner hesitated to speak several times, and finally remained silent until Ye Tian and the others left.
Although they left the antique store, Ye Tian and the others did not leave the street.
Not far from this antique shop, there is a gallery that looks quite exquisite.
Ye Tian and the others walked towards the gallery while laughing and chatting.
The antique shop owner stood at the door of his store, watching Ye Tian and the others. He wanted to raise his hands and shout several times, but finally held back.
After Ye Tian and the others walked fifty or sixty meters, the antique shop owner returned to the shop to study the half of the stone pillar of unknown origin!
At the same time, Yahya also asked in a low voice:
"Steven, what secret is hidden on that half of the stone pillar? Is it related to the legendary Atlantis, that's why you want to buy it?"
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"You are thinking too much, Yahya. I am not sure about the origin of that half of the stone pillar. It may be of some value, or it may be worthless. I just want to study it.
If you are interested in that half of the stone pillar, you can go back and buy it, and then study it slowly. Don't worry, maybe you will get a treasure! "
Yahya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"I'd better forget it. I haven't done any research on this kind of thing, and I can't see anything. I don't know where to put it after I bought it, let alone research the secret behind it!"
Ye Tian just smiled and said nothing more.
The other people did the same and didn't ask any more questions about the half of the stone pillar.
While talking, everyone had arrived at the entrance of the gallery, opened the door and walked in.
About twenty minutes later, they walked out of the gallery and prepared to get in the car and leave the street.
Compared with when they walked into the gallery just now, they already had an extra landscape oil painting in their hands.
But the person carrying the oil painting was not Ye Tian, nor his employees and security personnel, but Professor Kane.
This oil painting is not large in size and is a modern landscape oil painting. It was painted by a young Moroccan artist and is of relatively average value.
The scenery he painted is exactly that of Casablanca, which is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Professor Kane bought this oil painting because he wanted to take it back to his wife as a gift for this trip to Casablanca.
His wife is a huge fan of the classic love movie "Casablanca" and originally wanted to travel to Casablanca with her.
As a result, the plan had to be canceled due to the Howard kidnapping case.
When purchasing this modern landscape oil painting, Ye Tian also gave some advice, and Professor Kane just took action.
After coming out of the gallery, the group of them prepared to leave in the car.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, do you still want that half of the stone pillar? I have decided to sell you the antique artifact for two thousand dollars."
No need to ask, it was the antique shop owner from before.
Everyone turned to look and saw the antique shop owner standing on the sidewalk a few meters away with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Obviously, during this period of time, he must have consulted with someone, and even used video calls to have it appraised by relevant professionals.
Unfortunately, the identification results were not optimistic and no new findings were found.
That's why he came here, wanting to sell the half of the stone pillar of unknown origin to Ye Tian, so as not to keep it in his hands.
Ye Tian turned to look at this person, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, no problem. Since you can accept the price of two thousand US dollars, then I am willing to accept this half of the stone pillar of unknown origin and take it back for study!"
"Great, Mr. Steven, the deal is two thousand dollars, and that half of the stone pillar belongs to you!"
The antique shop owner came forward and shook Ye Tian's hand, fearing that he would regret it.
After finalizing the transaction of antique cultural relics, Ye Tian ordered one of his employees and a security team member to drive a bulletproof SUV to the antique store to pick up the half of the stone pillar.
He and David stayed here, laughing and chatting while waiting.
After a while, the half of the stone pillar was taken back, but the antique shop owner did not follow.
Seeing the bulletproof SUV coming back, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone at the scene:
"Gentlemen, the transaction of antiques and cultural relics has been completed. We can leave and go shopping elsewhere, and then we can return to the hotel."
After saying that, he was ready to get in the car.
At this moment, Professor Paul suddenly said:
"Steven, I always feel that this half of the stone pillar is a little strange, or it looks familiar, but I can't remember it. Where have I seen this kind of thing?
Is there any secret hidden in this half of the stone pillar? It was inconvenient for you to say it just now, can you tell everyone now? I’d love to know more about it.”
Ye Tian paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Your feeling is correct, Professor Paul. This half of the stone pillar of unknown origin is indeed a bit strange, and it looks familiar. I had the same feeling when I first saw it.
After analysis, I did find some hidden secrets, which is a very interesting thing. It may reveal the connection between the two legendary prehistoric civilizations.
On this half of the stone pillar, there are four or five strange symbols with unknown meanings, but if you turn these strange symbols upside down and combine them, you will make surprising new discoveries."
"Ah! Turn those strange symbols upside down? Why didn't I think of that just now?"
Professor Paul exclaimed.
The other experts and scholars were also stunned for a moment, and then a look of regret flashed in their eyes!
Ye Tianze smiled and continued:
“Starting from the bottom of the stone pillar, drawing a right-turning spiral can connect these strange symbols, and then combine them in order from top to bottom.
As a result, you will find that they can actually form a very ancient and obscure text. In fact, the bottom of this half stone pillar is actually the top of a stone pillar.
In other words, the original stone pillar was broken from the top. After it was fished out of the water, people habitually turned it upside down on the ground, which led to the solidification of understanding.
After forming such inherent thinking, coupled with the lack of archaeological knowledge and lack of experience, it is naturally impossible for the antique shop owner and his friends to make any important discoveries.
In fact, even if they turned this half of the stone pillar upside down, it would be difficult to discover the secret. The reason is simple because the text composed of these symbols has not been deciphered.
These symbols are composed of mysterious ancient Mayan characters. I have only seen the same characters on the Mayan fourth solar era prophecy pillar, which is the Zondrilik prophecy pillar! "
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, dumbfounded!
After a moment, Professor Douglas suddenly muttered to himself.
"Yes, the combination of those strange symbols is indeed an ancient Mayan script, and that ancient Mayan script is engraved on the top of the Mayan fourth solar era prophecy pillar, and we haven't deciphered it yet!"
With his words, everyone was awakened.
Immediately afterwards, the scene was boiling.
"Oh my God! Why do stone pillars engraved with ancient Mayan characters appear on the coast of Morocco on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean? This is incredible, it is simply a fantasy!"
"Don't tell me that the Delican civilization of the fourth sun in the Mayan legend is the legendary Atlantis civilization. This is really incredible!"
Everyone exclaimed, and everyone was very excited.
Of course, Yahya and the others' hearts were bleeding crazily, and each of them felt regretful and just wanted to take a bullet to their head!
Why didn't I buy this priceless treasure just now? How incredibly stupid!
Before the exclamation could end, Ye Tian already smiled and whispered:
"Gentlemen, this discovery is extraordinary. It may shock the whole world and even rewrite the history of civilization, but this is not the place to discuss it. There are many media reporters and gallery owners nearby!"
As he said that, he pointed to the media reporters not far away who were taking pictures and shooting, as well as the gallery owner with a dull look on his face.
Before they even finished speaking, Professor Paul and the others stopped talking, as if someone had suddenly choked them.
Immediately afterwards, these guys whispered in unison:
"Steven, let's go back to the hotel directly. Don't go shopping elsewhere. What could be more important than this priceless treasure?
When we return to the hotel, we must study this half of the stone pillar. This discovery is so shocking and incredible! "
"Okay, gentlemen, since everyone is so eager, let's go back to the hotel immediately. To be honest, I also want to study this half of the stone pillar carefully!"
With that said, Ye Tian opened the car door and got into the bulletproof SUV parked next to him.
The rest of the people also quickly got on the bus, all eagerly.
Then, these bulletproof SUVs suddenly started up, drove off the street, and drove straight to the hotel!
Just as they were leaving, the gallery owner finally came to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, the guy immediately took out his cell phone and started making calls.
As soon as the call was connected, the guy yelled.
"Oh my God! That lucky guy Steven just discovered an antique artifact related to Atlantis"
Before he finished speaking, the media reporters who were running towards us suddenly stopped in place as if someone had cast a restraining spell on them!
