Treasure Hunt all over the World

Latest website: Chapter 3213 The Mysterious Temple

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had led people to the hillside on the north side of the hill, where they met Professor Kane and the others.

At this time, Professor Kane and Professor Douglas were both disgraced and embarrassed, but they acted very excited.

At the feet of the two of them, there was an ancient and damaged building fragment, which was one meter and a half long and looked quite heavy.

Most of the remaining parts of the building are covered with dirt, and only a small part looks relatively clean.

The part with soil should have been buried in the ground before and was just dug out of the soil.

The one-meter-deep pit next to it, as well as the engineer shovel and crowbar thrown on the ground, are enough to explain the problem.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others coming over, Professor Kane immediately pointed to the remaining building fragments and said:

"Steven, Paul, when we were exploring here just now, we found a very ordinary-looking building fragment here, which is the relatively clean part at the top of the building fragment.

We found neither ancient writing nor any special patterns at that location, so we didn’t take it seriously at first. When we were about to look at the remaining architectural fragments, we found that we couldn’t move it.

This aroused our curiosity, so we brought in engineering shovels and crowbars to dig. As a result, we dug deeper and deeper, and the building fragments buried in the sand became larger and larger.

In the end, we dug out such a big thing, and in the part of this big thing buried in the sand, we found some well-preserved ancient Greek characters and patterns.

Those ancient Greek words are very easy to read, and its content translates to "the great and majestic King of the Sea, who rules over all the waters beyond the land, and who has terrifying power."

In addition to these ancient Greek texts, we also found the pattern of half a carriage on this architectural fragment. From these words and patterns, we can see that this architectural fragment comes from Poseidon."

Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the scene.

"Wow! The meaning of these words and patterns is very clear. They are obviously pointing to Poseidon, the god of the sea. It seems that there is really a Poseidon temple here. It's incredible."

"If there really is a Poseidon here, it would be a bit unexplainable. You know, this is the edge of the Sahara Desert, more than ten kilometers away from the Atlantic coast!

Why did the ancients build a Poseidon Temple here? Was the coastline here at that time? This is impossible. It has only been a thousand or two thousand years. How could the coastline retreat by more than ten kilometers? "

Everyone started talking about it and they were all very excited.

Ye Tian squatted down and began to look at the remains of this ancient building pretending to be serious.

In fact, when he first arrived here, he already knew some information about the remaining parts of the building!

Professor Paul and Professor Kane also squatted down, studying the remains of this ancient building and discussing at the same time.

"You are right, Professor Kane. Judging from the contents of these ancient Greek texts, this architectural fragment does come from the Poseidon Temple, and there was indeed a Poseidon Poseidon Temple here.

This is completely certain now, but I am a little confused. Was this Poseidon built by the Romans, the ancient Greeks, or someone else? "

Ye Tian nodded and said, with a bit of confusion in his words.

Hearing this, the other people were stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Paul asked in surprise:

"Steven, why do you say that? The Romans ruled this area for hundreds of years. It is not surprising to build such a sea temple.

Although the ancient Greeks had very close interactions with this place, they never ruled it, so it is naturally impossible to build a Poseidon Temple here."

"Yes, there is no way this Poseidon was built by the ancient Greeks. The Carthaginians may still be possible."

Professor Douglas nodded in agreement.

Ye Tian smiled, and then pointed at the pattern on the remaining building fragments.

"I know it's a bit unbelievable to say that this Poseidon was built by ancient Greeks, but please look at these ancient patterns. Do they have an obvious color of ancient Greek classicism?"

Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked at the patterns carved on the remaining parts of the building.

Different from the decorative patterns on other previously discovered building fragments, because this building fragment was buried underground, the words and patterns engraved on it have not been weathered and are very clear.

In this way, not only can everyone accurately translate those ancient Greek texts, but they can also see more content.

The patterns engraved on it are very simple, just some curly grass patterns and wave patterns, but they reveal a bit of the elegance and beauty of classical art.

After Ye Tian's reminder, Professor Paul and the others soon discovered something.

"That's true. This is the carving technique of ancient Greek classical art, which is somewhat different from Roman carving art. Is this Poseidon really built by the ancient Greeks?"

"I remembered that I had seen the same artistic style of decorative patterns on the remains of ancient Greek buildings on the Acropolis in Athens, but I had never seen them in Rome."

Ye Tian nodded and then continued to explain:

“We know that although ancient Rome inherited the culture and art of ancient Greece, it developed its own characteristics, especially in the art of sculpture.

From the perspective of sculpture art alone, ancient Roman sculpture art is obviously inferior to ancient Greek sculpture art, especially ancient Greek classical sculpture, which is the pinnacle of sculpture art.

The classical sculpture art displayed on this architectural fragment was not possessed by the Romans, so I suspect that this Poseidon was built by the ancient Greeks."

"Indeed, the artistic expression of ancient Roman sculptures is indeed different from Greek classical sculptures. This should not be a temple built by the Romans."

Professor Kane nodded and said, and the others also nodded.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Of course, there is also the possibility that this Poseidon was built during the reign of Carthage, and the people who designed and built this Poseidon came from the Greek area.

For example, during the Hellenistic period, classical sculpture art was still popular and dominant in Greece, and the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic period were also born.

Another point is that this architectural fragment should be the part above the entrance of Poseidon. Think about the Greek temples on the Acropolis of Athens, do they look familiar! "

Before he finished speaking, Professor Paul nodded and said:

"Yes, Steven, after your reminder, I immediately thought of the Parthenon. There are indeed many similar words and patterns carved on the colonnade of the Parthenon."

Next, the few of them continued to study the remains of this ancient building and had a heated discussion.

After a while, they reached an agreement.

The Poseidon that once stood on the top of this mountain should have been built during the Hellenistic period or before. The Greeks should have designed and presided over the construction of this temple.

But this goes against the known history of Morocco.

First, ancient Greece did not rule this land, but had very close ties and contacts with it.

Second, ancient Rome during the Hellenistic period had not yet occupied this land.

At that time, Morocco was still under the rule of Carthage. It was not until around 40 AD that the Roman Empire actually occupied this land.

By 40 AD, the Hellenistic era had long passed, and the brilliant classical sculpture art of ancient Greece had completely withered.

In this case, the appearance of this Poseidon Temple becomes a mystery.

Either there is an error in the known history, or Carthage invited the Greeks to build this Poseidon here!

Another possibility is that some unknown force built this Poseidon Temple.

And this unknown force must have a very close connection with ancient Greece, or it may be a branch of the ancient Greeks.

These very different conjectures made everyone excited.

But after some discussion, everyone still couldn't reach a consensus.

In order to find more evidence and find more architectural fragments from the Poseidon Temple on the top of the mountain, Ye Tian sent several exploration teams over and asked them to explore the area to the north of the hill.

It is a pity that everyone has never found anything, and no more architectural fragments of the Poseidon Temple have been found.

In the blink of an eye, the time has reached three o'clock in the afternoon.

Various exploration groups explored all the way down from the top of the hill, not far from the foot of the mountain.

Apart from the large architectural fragments of the Tanah Lot Temple, there were no surprising discoveries.

During this process, everyone also discovered some metal objects buried underground, but they were not related to treasures and had no excavation value. Gu Shun

At this time, except for the few houses halfway up the hill, the rest of the hill has basically been explored.

If nothing is found in those houses, the three-party joint exploration team will have no choice but to leave here and go home!

Today's joint exploration operation will also come to an end, but this end is not so satisfactory.

Like many exploration groups, Ye Tian and the others also walked down the mountain.

Just as they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, Matisse's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, those who followed the joint exploration team have already arrived at this town and are heading this way. Those guys knew that they couldn't come by car, so they all chose to walk.

If those guys came as tourists, since there were many media reporters among them, it might not be appropriate for the Moroccan police on guard to intercept them all."

After hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"It doesn't matter, just let those guys come over. There is not much gain this time. Don't worry about those guys trying to find the treasure or leaking secrets.

But we still need to be a little more careful and let the guys be more vigilant. Among the guys who are following us, there will be our enemies if we can’t protect them all.”

"Understood, Steven, leave these matters to us."

Mattis responded and immediately ended the call.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yahya next to him continued:

"Steven, do you need us to do something? For example, get rid of those annoying guys. This is Morocco, and it is not the turn of those guys to be so unscrupulous."

Ye Tian looked at the senior Moroccan official, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Why don't you add some traffic to those guys, Yahya, tell the policemen guarding the roads in the town that anyone who wants to come here will be inspected, and no one can carry firearms. I believe This will stop some people with ulterior motives!"

"Okay, Steven"

Yahya nodded in response.

Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and started giving orders to the Moroccan security chief.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had already descended to the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Miller suddenly pointed to the sky in the direction of the town and said:

"Steven, look over there. There are two small drones. They are probably coming to investigate the situation."

Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked up to the sky.

as expected!

In the sky above the town, there were indeed two small white drones, about fifty meters above the ground, flying towards the hill.

Ye Tian glanced at the two small drones, and then said coldly:

"As long as they are not our drones, shoot them all down for me. Don't let any of them go. This will be the case in the future."

"Understood, leave it to us"

Miller nodded in response, then picked up the walkie-talkie and issued the order to take action.

The next moment, two security personnel staying near the convoy opened the door of an SUV and took out two electronic interference guns from inside.

Immediately afterwards, they aimed their guns at the two small drones and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

The two small drones also noticed their movements and wanted to avoid them.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

They were just about to pull up to avoid the attack of the electronic interference gun, but like a kite with a broken string, they lost control instantly and fell from the sky.

"ah!"

The onlookers who saw this scene exclaimed in surprise.

And in two cars on the other side of the town, a burst of angry curses with gnashed teeth rang out at the same time.

"Fake! How come these damn American bastards even have electronic interference guns? Are they really here to explore for treasure?"

"Damn it, another small drone was lost, but no useful photos were taken. What a bad luck!"

Before the curse could be heard, the two small drones hit the ground hard and were destroyed in an instant.

However, Ye Tian had already retracted his gaze and walked straight towards the crowd behind the cordon.

Seeing his actions, Yahya and Professor Paul felt a little surprised and followed him one after another.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had arrived near the cordon and stopped less than three meters away from the cordon.

The Moroccans who were watching the excitement outside the cordon were collectively stunned for a moment.

Everyone was confused and didn't know why he came.

Immediately afterwards, someone asked loudly:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, may I ask, have you made any significant discoveries on this hill? Is the legendary Atlantis really here?"

"Hello, Mr. Steven, we saw you digging on the top of the mountain before. Did you find any treasure? Can you introduce the situation to everyone?"

People asked questions loudly and loudly, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and a bit of regret.

Ye Tian looked at these curious guys, then smiled and said loudly:

“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, what I can tell you is that we did not find any treasures on this hill, only a few old World War II guns hidden.

Although those old World War II guns are antique firearms, their value is limited. They are not even worth the gas money we spent to get here. For now, our joint exploration operation is a loss."

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter.

I heard that the joint exploration team did not find any treasures and that their trip was in vain. Many of the guys watching the excitement felt very happy and started laughing unconsciously.

Of course, there are a lot of schadenfreudes out there.

After the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:

"But it's not like we haven't discovered anything. One thing is for sure. There was indeed an ancient city on this hill and there was a Poseidon Temple on the top of the hill.

I would like to ask if anyone has picked up any strange things on this hill? For example, broken sculptures, building components, or other things?

If you have such things in your hands, you might as well show them to me. If those things are valuable, I am willing to invest in acquiring them to prevent them from being buried."

Hearing this, Yahya and Professor Paul's eyes lit up.

Only then did they understand Ye Tian's intention of coming here.

There is no doubt that this is a very smart approach.

The Poseidon Temple on the top of the mountain had long since collapsed and turned into a ruin.

People living in this town would move some building debris down from the mountain if they couldn't save it, and use it to build houses or build courtyard walls.

Among the things that people moved away, there may be clues that everyone is looking for.

As soon as Yahya and the others thought of this, someone on the scene already responded.

"Mr. Steven, can a broken sculpture also be used? How much is that thing worth?"

A man in his forties asked loudly.

Before he finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of Ye Tian and others.
