Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 2687: Stripping
Following Ye Tian's words, everyone once again looked at the surrounding walls and the ground under their feet.
Same as before, everyone still has nothing to discover, let alone any treasure.
"Steven, don't pretend to be mysterious, just tell me, what are the major secrets hidden on the walls and floor of this wine cellar? I can't see it anyway.
And there are no obvious marks on the four walls or on the ground. We are not archaeologists or antique art appraisers, and our eyesight is quite limited.”
The Bishop of Kent shook his head and said, the rest of the scene also shook their heads.
Obviously, even if Ye Tian gave a hint, everyone still found nothing.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, the secret I'm talking about is actually the building materials used to build this wine cellar, that is, these stones and bars. It was through these building materials that I determined that this wine cellar was built in BC .
As we all know, in 107 AD, in order to commemorate the victory of the expedition to Romania and to honour his magnificent feats, Emperor Trajan ordered the construction of Trajan's Square not far away, and also flattened two hills in Rome.
Rome is located in a hilly area. At that time, there were seven hills in the city, collectively known as the "Seven Hills of Rome". In order to build Trajan's Square, Trajan the Great ordered the Capitoline and Quelli in the seven hills. The Thunder Mountain was razed to the ground.
In other words, the building materials used to build Trajan’s Square basically came from these two hills. In the following one or two thousand years, these building materials from Capitoline and Quirinale were constantly being used. Reuse.
And this Roman dungeon around Trajan’s Square contains a lot of stones and building fragments from those two hills. Regarding this, it should not be difficult to find evidence in the site of Trajan’s Square on the ground. .
The basement above this wine cellar and the basements of the two historical buildings just now are part of the Roman underground city, and in these three basements, you can see the construction materials from the ruins of Trajan's Square.
But in this wine cellar deeper underground, I did not find any building materials from the ruins of Trajan Square. It is this discovery that is one of the reasons why I was able to determine that this wine cellar was built in BC "
Hearing this, everyone nodded, but everyone's eyes were still full of doubts.
Even if there are no building materials from the ruins of Trajan Square, it might be a coincidence!
Furthermore, the stones and bars used to build this wine cellar are all stones, so how different can they be?
Use this as a basis to judge that this wine cellar was built from 50 BC to 150 BC, which is older than the era when the Roman dungeon was formed. Is it a bit too mysterious?
Through the expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Tian could tell at a glance what they were thinking.
He chuckled softly, then continued:
"What I just said is just one of the reasons, and there is a more important reason, which is the root of my conclusion. The building materials used to build this wine cellar come from very special sources.
The stones and stones on the four walls and on the ground that you see now come from the Palatine Hill not far away. In ancient legends, Palatine Hill has always been regarded as the origin of the Roman city.
According to legend, the she-wolf who was breast-feeding the brothers Romulo and Remo found them on the banks of the Tiber near the Palatine Hill. They survived, and then the city of Rome was born!
Although the Palatine Hill and the other six hills in Rome are not far apart, the stones produced are different. Of course, the difference is very subtle, and you can’t see it without careful observation.
The same stone material can be seen in the ruins of the Temple of Caesar in the ancient Roman city square and in the ruins of the Imperial Forum, but it is difficult to find in the ruins of Trajan's Square.
The reason for this is that at the beginning of the Roman Empire, in order to prevent the Paladin Mountain, which was regarded as a holy mountain by the Romans, from being destroyed, it was listed as a restricted area and quarrying was prohibited!
Because of this ban, Palatine Hill and many ancient Roman architectural sites around it have been preserved. Otherwise, after a long one or two thousand years, Palatine Hill would have long ceased to exist.”
"Yes, Steven, when the Roman Empire was first established, such a ban was issued to prohibit citizens from quarrying on Palatine Hill, and this ban is still in effect!"
Giovanni continued, confirming Ye Tian's statement.
When he said these words, the tone of this guy was quite agitated, and he is now completely sure that this wine cellar hidden deep underground must hide some important secrets and treasures!
Thinking of this, he quickly glanced at the wine cellar, focusing on the few floors in the center of the wine cellar.
Because of Ye Tian's previous actions, he used a saber to scrape off the dirt, dust, and other debris in the gap between the two floors in the center of the wine cellar. The two smooth floors looked very eye-catching!
Not only Giovanni, everyone else on the scene also stared at the two floors, everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
Everyone knows that if there are any major secrets or amazing treasures hidden in this wine cellar, they are probably under the two floors!
Steven, this guy will never be aimless, the reason why he cleaned out the dirt and debris in that gap must be something he found!
After a short pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.
"Because of this discovery, I was able to confirm that this underground wine cellar was built in BC, but why is it between 50 BC and 150 BC? There is another reason.
From 50 BC to 150 BC, due to the failure of the reforms led by the Gracchus, the Roman Republic began a period of turbulence, and the city of Rome was especially chaotic.
Under that kind of environment, the nobles living in the city of Rome needed to build secret rooms for self-protection for their own safety. This deep underground and extremely strong wine cellar came into being.
By 49 BC~www.ltnovel.com~ After Caesar unified the Roman Republic and became the life magistrate of the Roman Republic, he immediately began to build the Imperial Forum. The stone used came from Palatine Hill.
In fact, at that time, the authorities of the Roman Republic had banned ordinary citizens from quarrying on Palatine Hill. The stone from Palatine Hill could only be used for some very important buildings.
After Caesar was assassinated and died, in 42 BC, the Roman Senate named Caesar as a god. The first emperor of the Roman Empire, Octavian, built a temple for his adoptive father.
This Ionian temple is the Temple of Caesar in the city square of ancient Rome. Although it is now in ruins, you can still see the original magnificence through the ruins.
Most of the stones used to build the Temple of Caesar came from the nearby Palatine Hill. When the Temple of Caesar was built, Octavian announced that ordinary citizens were prohibited from quarrying on Palatine Hill!
It can be determined from this that the construction time of this underground wine cellar should be between 50 BC and 150 BC, but the exact time requires further exploration to know! "
At this point, Ye Tian paused and scanned the crowd.
At this time, David and the Bishop of Kent were all dumbfounded, looking at Ye Tian as if they were looking at an alien!
