Treasure Hunt: I Can Possess Infinitely

Chapter 149 The Golden Mask
Just when everyone questioned the so-called ancient underwater city, Zhou Zuosong soon sent back a video.

Curator Fang waited for all the old seniors to watch, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"hiss……"

From the perspective of shooting, it is indeed a huge island, like a bowl, upside down in the water.It is not difficult for everyone who is doing it to guess that this is definitely caused by the sinking of the island.

"This is a lost civilization!" One of the old men spoke first.

Right now, it can't be said that Chu Wen and others faked it, right?
The cost is too high.

"I don't know when it originated. In ancient my country, there should be no records."

"It's not surprising, we don't even have a record of the Sanxingdui civilization that is close to China, let alone it is far away from the continental shelf."

Director Fang looked at Professor Jin who had the most say in history: "Old Jin, what do you think?"

Professor Jin was silent for a while: "The official history is definitely not recorded. We can only find it from some unofficial history and legends. In addition, this site is of great excavation and archaeological value. I hope to organize a team to go there."

He also said that this is temporarily confidential and will not be made public.After the research is almost done, archaeological experts from other countries in the world will be invited to intervene.

Isn't the West always looking for some lost undersea civilization?
For this matter, there are always various unreliable "archaeological discoveries".

In fact, there is no such thing at all.

Now, China has found the high seas just outside the island of Taiwan.To a certain extent, it is also close to China.This time, the West can't be said to be the civilization of Atlantis, can it?

"Let's divide into two groups! One group looks for the historical traces of this civilization; the other group goes to the site for archaeology." Director Fang expressed his thoughts.

"Okay, just do as you said. I will lead the team to the site for underwater archaeology." Professor Jin said immediately.

Others can't laugh or cry: You are taking advantage of your position!

"Okay, you lead the team, everyone can rest assured."

"Let me tell you! This little Chu is still amazing. How long have you been out? You have made such an important discovery, young man, it's amazing!" an old senior couldn't help but praise.

He had met Chu Wen before, and he already had a good impression of this young man.

Curator Fang smiled and said, "Perhaps, that kid discovered it a long time ago, and he just didn't tell us. Now, he has more information about the underwater treasure than we do."

The National Underwater Archeology Department chose to cooperate with Chu Wen because of Chu Wen's point of view, and promised various conditions.

So, curator Fang and others held a meeting, and quickly organized staff.Professor Jin led the people to the sea area where Chu Wen and the others were at the fastest speed.

……

On the salvage boat, Vanness Wu and his wife were as excited as children.

However, they were excited not because they discovered any ruins of civilization, but because they caught a moon fish with a body length of more than one meter and were taking pictures frantically.

"Isn't it the moon fish? It's very lucky. I checked and said that it is very difficult to catch this kind of fish. Have you never seen it?" Vanness Wu asked the other people on the boat.

These words sound a bit ostentatious.

Indeed, the odds of catching a moonfish are like winning the lottery.

This fish is like a larger version of the golden pomfret, but maybe a little rounder.

Its body has metallic fluorescence.When it swims in the deep sea, it looks like a moon, hence the name of the moon fish.

"Don't be shy, you said that I may not have seen freshwater fish. But we have seen more marine fish than you. We have seen more exotic sunfish than this several times." A boy in Xiaosha Village rolled his eyes and said.

"That's right, what's all the fuss about!"

……

Wu Jianhao Quan pretended not to hear these words, and he was still proud of himself, as if this was the highlight moment of his life.

For anglers, it does.

If you catch such a big one near your home, you have to carry it back on your shoulders, and you have to walk around a few big circles. I wish the whole world would know that he caught it.

At this time, Chu Wen had salvaged the first batch of cultural relics about the ancient underwater city.

The most eye-catching thing is the dozen or so golden masks.

Gold is very inert and not prone to chemical reactions, so it is very easy to preserve.Therefore, besides stone tools, gold ware is also one of the most complete cultural relics left over from ancient times.

"It's a pity! This golden mask is not big, and the amount of gold is not much!" Liu Lixian said sarcastic remarks beside him.

Zhou Zuosong glared at him: "You know what the fuck, just take the one you just took, put it in the auction, and start off."

As soon as these words came out, even Chu Wen turned his head and stared at Zhou Zuosong.

"What? Don't believe it?
Let me tell you, this kind of mask, not to mention gold, even if it is bronze, is worth millions, tens of millions.

As for the golden mask, there are not many in the whole world.The most famous is the Egyptian gold mask.That is a priceless treasure that cannot be measured by value at all. "

The Egyptian gold mask, which was worn by the Egyptian pharaoh Tutkhamun in the 14th century BC after his death, was found in his tomb.

When the pharaoh Tutkhamun's mummy was excavated, his head was covered with a golden mask, which made him the most famous Egyptian pharaoh known in modern times.

Masks are made of gold leaf, embedded with precious stones and stained glass.The forehead is decorated with eagle gods and cobra gods, symbolizing Upper and Lower Egypt; the beard hanging below symbolizes the god of the underworld, Osiris.

"As for our country, there are some gold masks, the most famous one is the gold mask of Sanxingdui, which is also priceless.

Among them, I remember that there is a national treasure-level collection—the Golden Mask of the Warring States Period, which participated in the exhibition and was insured for 1.2 million yuan.

The ones we salvage now, every golden mask, is no worse than that one. "Zhou Zuosong continued.

The people around suddenly widened their eyes.

A mask like this is worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

On the golden mask, the five sense organs are placed in the same position as the human face, and the face is fierce. There are holes in the eyes, nose and mouth, which allow the person wearing the mask to peep around and give orders.

In addition, there are four hook-shaped metal rings hooked on the back of the golden mask. Zhou Zuosong deduced that these should be used for tying knots for people wearing masks.

After explaining, Zhou Zuosong turned his gaze to a slate engraved with symbols.

As if that appealed to him more.

It was an ancient script that he had never seen before. If nothing else, it should have been created by this submarine civilization.Although I have never seen this kind of pictograph, it is somewhat similar to Chinese oracle bone inscriptions.

Undoubtedly, this is another unprecedented discovery for him and for the archaeological world.

Chu Wen successively salvaged a lot of gem ornaments, and finally discovered that this underwater island itself has a gem mine.
