Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 2847: Ancient stone pillar
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
"Steven, come and take a look. We found a stone pillar, which is different from the stone slabs and pottery found before. It is carved with some ancient cuneiform writing instead of ancient Arabic."
Ye Tian and the others were exploring in a building that had long been collapsed with only two low walls left. Suddenly, a company employee's voice came from the intercom.
Upon hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Okay, Danny, let's go over here"
After speaking, he took David to the place where Danny and them were.
Several paleographers, archaeologists, and historians from Israel and the United States also heard Danny’s words, and walked to Danny and the others at the same time. Everyone looked excited and had some expectations. .
Since the beginning of the exploration, this stone pillar engraved with cuneiform writing is probably the earliest thing that everyone has discovered, and perhaps the only object from BC, can you not look forward to it!
Within a few steps, Ye Tian and David came to the area Danny and the others explored, and several other experts and scholars also came one after another, either far or near.
Seeing them coming, Danny immediately pointed to a broken granite pillar on the ground and said:
"Steven, this is the stone pillar, which was buried under the yellow sand before and almost tripped us. After the yellow sand covering it was removed, we found this stone pillar, but unfortunately it was broken into three pieces.
On this granite pillar, there are some ancient cuneiform writings, and some ancient patterns and patterns. We don't understand what it says specifically, so we called you over! "
As Danny introduced the situation, Ye Tian squatted down and began to look at this ancient and damaged granite pillar, the words and patterns carved on the pillar.
The other experts and scholars did the same. They looked at the granite stone pillars one by one, distinguished the words and patterns carved on the stone pillars, and tried to translate them.
After scanning this and Shi Zhu quickly, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, if I read it correctly, these cuneiform writings are in Akkadian, and are homologous to the writings on the Arabic earthenware jar of Joseph, and the age of the carving on this stone pillar is also similar!
These exquisite patterns and patterns carved on the stone pillars are somewhat characteristic of the Persian empire civilization. Obviously, this is an antique relic of a mixture of the Neo-Babylonian-Assyrian civilization and the Persian civilization.
It can be inferred from this that an Akkadian tribe once lived here. They were the residents and even the masters of this ancient city. This stone pillar should have been carved before 400 BC."
As soon as the voice fell, a paleographer from the Hebrew University continued to say:
"Yes, Steven, these cuneiform scripts are indeed Akkadian. It can be seen that after the fall of the New Babylonian kingdom, the Akkadian tribes gradually wandered to southern Arabia and settled here.
These decorations and patterns on the stone pillars do have the characteristics of both the Neo-Babylonian-Assyrian civilization and the Persian empire. In more than 400 BC, the southern Arabian Peninsula was just under the rule of the Persian Empire.
The meanings expressed in several cuneiform writings are related to religious sacrifices. Most of the writings are not known to us. Many of them are discovered for the first time. It can be said that this stone pillar is of great historical and cultural research value! "
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and then said:
"It is speculated from these findings that this stone pillar was probably part of a temple or shrine-like building built by the Akkadians. Later, the temple or shrine collapsed, but the granite stone pillar remained.
Later, people living in this ancient city used this granite stone pillar to build other buildings, which continued for generations until the Middle Ages, when the ancient city was completely abandoned and turned into a broken wall.
The building where the granite stone pillar was located also collapsed. When the building collapsed, I took this stone pillar down and broke it into three pieces. Even if it was broken, it is still a very good antique cultural relic, which is of great research value! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and agreed with his analysis.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:
"It is undeniable that the history of this ancient city site is quite long and has a certain exploration value. The granite stone pillar in front of you from more than 400 BC is the best proof.
However, combined with the previous discoveries, I am basically sure that the possibility of the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the religious sacred ark being buried in the ruins of this ancient city is extremely unlikely.
The reason is simple. No antique artifacts related to ancient Israel and ancient Ethiopia have been found here. In the treasure hunt and archaeological work, this is no evidence to support it! "
Although I didn't want to admit it, and was somewhat disappointed, everyone at the scene agreed with Ye Tian's judgment and nodded one after another.
Especially Joshua and Isaiah, both of them are full of disappointment and express their disappointment!
"Yes, as far as we have found so far, there is no antique relic, nor any evidence that can prove that Solomon's treasure is buried here. It seems that our trip to Yemen was a waste of time!"
A historian at Harvard University said that there was some disappointment in his words.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:
"Gentlemen, we are not running in vain this time. Didn't we discover this ancient granite stone pillar? It is also certain that this ancient city has a very long history and the Akkadian people once lived here.
When there is a chance in the future, everyone can come here again to explore and archaeology, and uncover the veil covering the ruins of this ancient city. I believe that it is also a very valuable and meaningful archaeological action.
However, the goal of our tripartite joint exploration operation is Solomon’s treasure, a religious sacred ark, so there is no need to waste time here. A place like Yemen is not a place to stay for long.
Next, we will speed up the exploration and strive to explore this ancient city ruins as soon as possible. If there are really no surprises, we should leave here and go to the next destination.
As for the stone pillar inscribed with Akkadian and other things we found during this trip, leave it to the Yemenis. Whether it is left to the Yemeni government or the local armed forces has nothing to do with me!
In accordance with the tripartite joint exploration agreement we signed and the agreement reached with the Yemeni government and local armed forces, we should enjoy 50% of the rights and interests of these discoveries, and I am willing to give up!
The reason is simple. The value of the ruins of the ancient city is not worthy for me to dig in this desert with a large number of employees. It is not worthy for us to stay in such a place of the Four World Wars and take this risk."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and agreed.
Joshua ~www.ltnovel.com~, who was also on the scene, instantly thought of those guys who were galloping toward this desert trying to looting Solomon's treasure, knowing why Ye Tian made this decision!
Undoubtedly, this is a very wise decision. You don't have to waste time here, but you can also get rid of those unpredictable guys and turn those guys around!
Next, everyone admired the granite stone pillar for a while, then spread out and continued to explore.
Of course, the ancient writing experts, archaeologists, and historians from Israel and the United States took out their phones and cameras to photograph every detail of this ancient granite stone pillar before leaving here.
For them, this granite stone pillar is an invaluable treasure, worthy of careful research and textual research!
Especially for those newly discovered Akkadians, every word means an academic paper and a research result. Where would they be willing to miss it!
At this time, most areas of this ancient city site have been explored, and the time has come to the afternoon, and the temperature has gradually dropped down!
