, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!

The Morazan Square returned to calm again. Hondurans who were nervous or numb still should do what they were doing, and in a blink of an eye what had just happened was forgotten.

For them, street fires are not too common. They are commonplace, and they have long been familiar.

In fact, they have nowhere to hide. In a country like Honduras where gangs and drug dealers are rampant, where is it safe?

And those tourists from all over the world are not so calm.

Because they were afraid of a **** fight here and their own innocent pond fish, many people hurriedly left Morazan Square and returned to their hotels.

Of course, Ye Tian and the others are not included.

At this moment, Ye Tian was standing at a stall on the edge of the square, looking at the various goods on the stall with interest, as did David and the others.

This is the fifth stall they visited. Like the previous four stalls, this stall is also full of various handicrafts and tourist souvenirs.

Many of them seem to come from Indian tribes, or from Maya tribes, with Maya hieroglyphs or other symbols of Indian culture.

As for the authenticity of these things, do you need to ask?

While Ye Tian was looking at the goods on the stall, the Latino stall owner standing in the stall was peddling goods to him with broken English, trying to make a fortune.

"Mr. Steven, as far as I know, you Chinese are very fond of the colorful jade jadeite. I happen to have a few very good rough jadeite stones here. Are you interested in seeing it?"

With that said, the stall owner with the green light in his eyes raised his hand and gestured to the stones placed on the side of the stall.

Following the direction of his fingers, Ye Tian glanced at the so-called rough jade stones, then turned back to look at the stall owner, smiled and whispered:

"Man, it's true that we Chinese like jadeite jade, but what we like is jade from Burma, and it is pure high-grade jade, not Guatemalan jade.

In our opinion, the vast majority of Guatemalan jade is kilograms of material, which is not of much value at all. Where do your few rough jadeites come from? I don’t need to say more, right? "

Hearing this, the stall owner's face immediately turned red, somewhat embarrassed.

Obviously, what Ye Tian said was right. The few rough jadeite stones placed on the stall were Guatemalan materials of little value, and they were used by the stall owner to hide people.

How could such a rough jadeite get into Ye Tian's eyes?

After exposing the stall owner's trick, Ye Tian looked at the other goods on the stall and didn't take this episode seriously.

Soon, he pointed to a cylindrical stone pillar about sixty to seventy centimeters long and about twelve centimeters in diameter on the booth and said:

"Man, can I take a look at this granite stone pillar? The patterns carved on the stone pillar seem to be from the Mayan tribe. As you know, this time we came to Honduras to explore the Golden City of the Mayan Empire."

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, everyone on the scene looked at the granite stone pillar placed on the stall, and everyone was full of curiosity and expectation.

As Ye Tian said, the cylindrical granite pillar was engraved with hieroglyphs and patterns with a strong Mayan culture.

Especially the two ends of the stone pillars are engraved with some exaggerated human head images.

Some of those portraits are laughing with open mouths, some seem to cry sadly, and some of them are full of anger and grim expressions, which look quite weird.

The stall owner also looked at the granite pillar on the ground, but he was very calm and even a little disappointed.

"No problem, Mr. Steven, of course you can look at this granite stone pillar"

Ye Tian nodded immediately, and immediately took a step forward, squatted down in front of the booth, and began to look at the granite stone pillar, and he also greeted Professor Delgado.

"Professor Delgado, you are an archaeologist studying the Mayan civilization. What do the Mayan hieroglyphs and various patterns on this granite pillar mean? Can you explain it?"

Hearing this, Professor Delgado immediately stepped forward, squatted side by side with Ye Tian, ​​and began to look at this weird granite pillar.

After just two glances, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian had already seen the side of the stone pillar facing up, and immediately stretched out his hands, turned the granite stone pillar over, and turned the bottom side up.

Immediately afterwards, he saw several lines of Spanish, carved on the bottom edge of this granite pillar, and there were also 1932 Arabic numerals engraved on it.

Obviously, this granite pillar was carved in the early 1930s and is not an antique artifact from the Mayan Empire.

Seeing this, a look of disappointment appeared on Ye Tian's face timely.

"Steven, this granite stone pillar was carved in the early 1930s by a Mayan farmer. The Spanish lines and date numbers at the bottom of the stone pillar are the creator's name and creation time.

As for the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns on the stone pillars, they are very common and have no special meaning. The reason why they appear on this stone pillar should be used to decorate this granite stone pillar.

These Mayan hieroglyphs have been translated a long time ago, and they have also appeared on some steps in the ancient city of Copan and in some Mayan architectural ruins. There are only a few patterns in which I am not very clear.

Perhaps those patterns have no meaning at all, they are just decorations. It is conceivable that in the early 1930s, a Mayan farmer from Honduras suddenly made such a stone pillar on a whim.

After fixing the granite stone pillar, he carved hieroglyphs of Maya civilization and various weird patterns on it, and then engraved the Spanish language and the creation time, making the stone pillar nondescript.

The Mayan peasant probably didn't understand the meaning of these hieroglyphs and patterns, but thought that they were cultural symbols of his own nation, so he carved them on the stone pillars in a cat-like manner, so he engraved Spanish explanations."

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, everyone laughed, the stall owner's face reddened again, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Ye Tian also smiled softly, then stood up and looked at the stall owner in front of him.

When the laughter fell slightly, he smiled and said:

"Man, where did you collect this granite pillar? It looks interesting. How much is this granite pillar? I want to take it for fun and study the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns on it."

"what--!"

There was a surprise sound from many onlookers.

Everyone didn't understand what Ye Tian did when he accepted this granite pillar, which was obviously of little value. Is it true that he was learning Mayan hieroglyphs?

David and the others standing beside Ye Tian~www.ltnovel.com~ but a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes.

David and the others instantly understood that this granite stone pillar must have hidden some secrets, otherwise Ye Tian would never buy such a thing, which would increase the burden.

It's just that they couldn't figure out what secrets this granite stone pillar hides, how did Ye Tian discover the clues?

Those who felt confused included the stall owner of this stall.

When Ye Tian's words fell, the stall owner was immediately stunned. He thought he had a hallucination, and someone wanted to buy this **** granite stone pillar.

And the person who wants to buy this granite stone pillar is still the world's top professional treasure hunter and the top antique art appraisal expert. It is incredible!

Is this granite pillar a precious treasure? It's just that I am clumsy and can't see it!

Thinking of this, the stall owner immediately looked at the granite stone pillars on the ground, looking forward to it!
