Chapter 332 Golden Lake

"Although there is a secret tunnel under the boss, it is impossible to dig it without making a sound. It will definitely alarm the local government!"

Tom regretted telling Wu Tianyuan the news. Even if he knew that there was a secret passage leading to the pharaoh's secret room hidden below, he couldn't dig it out secretly.

"Forget it, let's go back and find a chance to dig together with Egypt. I don't really want to do the immoral thing of digging up people's ancestral graves."

A group of people left Egypt, originally thinking of getting the treasure chest early, but who knew that they returned in vain.But wait for the opportunity to use this news in the future to make a deal with the Egyptian government.

"You can't go home empty-handed. If there is no light in the east and light in the west, go to the Golden Lake!"

In ancient times, there was an Inca Empire centered on Peru in South America, which was very powerful. All the palaces in the capital were decorated with a lot of gold and silver, resplendent and splendid.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire, and at the beginning of the 16th century, they plundered all the gold and gems.The Spanish commander-in-chief Pizarro heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was transported from the Manoa country ruled by a chief named Patti, and there were piles of gold and silver treasures there. Pizarro immediately organized an expedition team to go to the deep Amazon jungle. Golden City.

However, in this vast and boundless primeval forest, every step forward means fear and death. There are fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost paths and threats. Expedition teams either return in disappointment or fall. Unknown, so that Pizarro can only imagine the forest.

Then the Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Dutch and Germans heard the news of the Golden City, and everyone wanted to get rich, so they flocked to go deep into the Amazon jungle.

Among them, a Spaniard named Caesada led about 716 expeditions to the Golden City. After paying a heavy price of 550 lives, they finally discovered the Golden City and the legendary gold in the Condina Margar Plain. Lake, found an emerald gemstone worth $300 million, but this is only a tiny part of the invaluable treasure of the Golden City.

Wu Tianyuan's goal is located in Colombia, the golden lake deep in the Amazon jungle. The legendary golden lake is Colombia's Guadavida Lake.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the nephew of the last Indian king described to people the traditional coronation ceremony held by the Golden Lake: At that time, the heir to the throne was covered with gold powder all over his body, as if shaped by gold, and then swam in the lake. Washing off the gold powder, his subjects offered gold and emeralds and piled them at his feet. The new king threw all the gold into the lake as a dedication to God. This traditional ceremony has been held countless times, as can be seen from the Golden Lake The reserves are a temptation to people.

Since the 16th century, the salvage of the gold lake has never stopped. In 1545, a treasure hunting team organized by the Spaniards fished up hundreds of gold items from the shallow bottom of the lake within three months.

In 1911, a British company dug a tunnel to drain the lake, but the sun quickly dried the thick mud into dry hard mud. When the British brought drilling equipment from the UK, the lake was filled with water again. , this costly salvage failed.

Many people believe that there are still treasures of amazing value buried at the bottom of the golden lake, hundreds of thousands of tons of gold, and 5000 gold artifacts.

Compared with treasures sunk in the sea, searching is extremely difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack. It will take several years or even ten years for treasure hunters or treasure hunting companies to find treasures on the seabed.

The Golden Lake is just a lake with an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers. It only takes 40 minutes by car from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, to reach the legendary Golden Lake. The goal is very clear.

The Golden Lake is not just a pure treasure legend, but there is a lot of conclusive evidence to prove that there are indeed hundreds of tons of gold products at the bottom of Guadavida Lake.

For example, it is recorded that the Indians in the Guadavida country can be regarded as high-level craftsmen who make goldware, and the craftsmen living on the shore of the "Golden Lake" are the best in the Musca Empire.

Gold mines abound near the Guadavida Gold Lake.In Colombia, almost every family has several pieces of ancient gold that have been passed down from generation to generation, and some families claim to know some secret gold mines. In 1913, the British explorer Walker used diving equipment to dig from the shallow bottom of the lake, and unearthed hundreds of gold products, gold cups, gold bowls, gold pots and gold ritual objects of various sizes.

A group of people secretly came to the vicinity of the Golden Lake, which has been controlled by the government and any private salvage is strictly prohibited. Wu Tianyuan's goal is not the bottom of the lake, but the surrounding primitive tribe ruins recorded in history.

The reason why he is sure is because of a golden vessel in his hand, a cultural relic engraved with a toad pattern.

This is exactly the device of the ancient Indians. The ancient Indians believed that the toad was the embodiment of auspiciousness and wisdom.

According to the records, the totem of this tribe is the toad. Every year, the patriarch builds a golden boat. On a golden bamboo raft nearly 20 centimeters long, there are 11 golden men and golden toads with different postures. , Exquisite, exquisite workmanship.

There is a gold ship in the Columbia Gold Museum, which is called the treasure of the town hall and a priceless treasure.According to legend, the Indian leader covered his whole body with gold powder, and brought various gold offerings and a golden boat to the sacred Lake Guadavida to worship the gods.

What the Muska culture worships most is water. The muska people’s ancestor goddess Bachuai came out of the lake. The Qibucha people believe that there are gods living in the lake, and life begins and ends there.

"It's in this area. Everyone looks for it separately. The metal detector should respond."

Everyone began to search for the treasures buried in the ruins in the wild, and there were indeed many discoveries. Dozens of gold objects were found nearby, including devout men and women in various postures reflecting religious ceremonies, and vessels for offering offerings to the heavens. This kind of vessel is engraved with patterns such as deer, eagle and toad.

There are also decorations on the head, chest and abdomen, engraved with human heads and patterns of birds and beasts, as well as daily necessities of the ancient Indians, including pots, cups, bowls, basins, masks, shrines, fishing and so on.These devices are mostly made of gold foil and gold wire, with rich and colorful styles, superb skills and exquisite workmanship. Each piece is a very precious work of art.

Wu Tianyuan returned with a full load and brought this batch of hundreds of gold and silver wares that most represented the ancient Indian civilization back to the museum, officially becoming the second batch of precious collections in the Museum of Ancient Civilization besides the Ban Chiang treasure.

"Boss, here are the logs of famous explorers from all over the world that I have collected, and one of them named Fred is very interesting."

Wu Tianyuan took the diary, and after translation it turned out to be about the Amazon Golden City?
