Chapter 3177： Roman secret

Chapter 3177 The Secret of the Romans

Ye Tian and the others were still on their way to the ruins of Shera, and the major Western news media had spoken out and began to criticize the Spanish government.

Even the domestic media in Spain have jumped out to take responsibility for the government.

In particular, the news media controlled by the opposition are the most cheerful and the most violent, directly scolding the Spanish government.

The focus of these news media attacks is naturally the Spanish National Intelligence Service.

The office building of the Spanish National Intelligence Agency was surrounded by media reporters in a blink of an eye, and the scene was very lively.

But Ye Tian, ​​who caused the storm, went to explore the treasure leisurely.

After a while, the convoy arrived at the gate of Shela Ruins Scenic Spot.

Due to the discovery of ancient Roman treasures here, exploration and excavation operations are about to begin, and Ye Tian and their identities are now very special and sensitive, so the Shera ruins are not open today.

Not even a tourist can see the entrance of the scenic spot, it is empty and very deserted.

Not only that, the street where the scenic spot is located, as well as the nearby blocks, have been designated as a warning area by the Moroccan police.

Anyone who enters here must undergo inspection and security checks to ensure that there is no suspicion before entering.

On several commanding heights nearby, there are a group of security personnel under Ye Tian's command, guarding the place condescendingly.

As soon as the team arrived, Matisse's voice came through the wireless invisible headset.

"Steven, it's safe now, everything is under our control, you can rest assured to get off the bus and start exploring new things."

"Get it, Mattis, let the guys be vigilant, no one knows if the Spaniards will jump over the wall or be more careful."

Ye Tian responded, then opened the door and walked out of the car.

In fact, as soon as the team arrived here, he thoroughly looked through the place, not letting go of a single corner.

He has already determined that it is safe here and there is no danger.

After getting off the bus, the Minister of Culture of Morocco brought several experts and scholars and immediately greeted him.

At the same time, Ye Haiya and others who followed also came over.

Coming near, the Moroccan Minister of Culture immediately asked with concern:

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am deeply sorry for what happened last night. The employee of your company who was kidnapped by the Spaniards last night is safe, right?"

Ye Tian shook hands with each other, smiled and nodded and said:

"Good morning, Mr. Minister, what happened last night has nothing to do with you Morocco. No one could have imagined that the Spanish National Intelligence Service would do such a thing.

Fortunately, our rescue was relatively timely. The guy just suffered a little and was a little frightened, but he did not suffer too serious injuries. He will be staying in the hotel to recuperate! "

"It's fine. You are right. As far as this matter is concerned, the guys from the Spanish National Intelligence Agency are really too arrogant. Our government has made a solemn protest."

Morocco's Minister of Culture continued, with a look of indignation.

The rest of the Moroccans at the scene were the same, all looking indignant.

Ye Tian didn't take their performances seriously, he thought he was watching a play.

Among these Moroccans, there may be Spanish eyeliners.

After a few chats, everyone got to the point.

"Steven, our exploration team has entered the ruins of Shera and is preparing for the next excavation and clean-up operation. When the operation starts, they will fully cooperate with you.

The situation in the ruins of Shera is quite special. There are historical and cultural sites everywhere, which need to be carefully protected. When excavating and cleaning up this ancient Roman treasure, you must be careful.”

Morocco's Culture Minister said.

Ye Tian nodded and gave these Moroccans a reassurance.

"Don't worry, everyone, we have very rich experience in excavating hidden treasures deep underground and protecting historical and cultural sites, and we will never cause any damage to the Shera ruins.

Before the excavation and clean-up operation starts, we will take pictures of the scene, record the location coordinates of each stone and each building wreckage, as well as all the information such as the existing state.

We also numbered each stone, each piece of ground, then cut the ground along the gaps between the stones, and started excavation and cleanup, and the same goes for the ground below.

When this ancient Roman treasure is excavated and cleaned up, if you want to restore the ruins of Shera, we will give you all the information, and you can start the restoration work according to the information!

The same thing we have done in France and Italy, and in Egypt and other places, the historical and cultural sites where treasures were found, have now been completely restored, and no traces can be seen.”

"It's natural to be like this. We hope that after the exploration and excavation operation, the ruins of Shera will be restored as much as possible."

The Minister of Culture of Morocco nodded and said.

The rest of the Moroccans also nodded and said nothing more.

Afterwards, everyone entered the Shela Ruins Scenic Spot.

Many brave and fearless exploration company employees also took action, unloading various exploration equipment from many vehicles, putting them on trolleys, and advancing the interior of the scenic spot.

The Shera Ruins Scenic Spot is also empty. Except for the Moroccan exploration team staying at the ruins of the Senate, not a single person can be seen anywhere else.

When passing through the gate of the scenic spot, Ye Tian thoroughly saw the situation inside the scenic spot.

He didn't even let go of the date palm trees in the distance and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.

In fact, on the Atlantic Ocean where the ruins of the Senate can be seen, several of his security personnel are patrolling the sea with yachts in order to prevent someone from remotely sniping from the sea.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen, and few people have this ability.

When he came to the ruins of the Senate, Ye Tian first greeted several Moroccan experts and scholars, and then went to work, taking Professor Paul and them to check the situation.

Of course, this was performed for Moroccans, just to make everything seem plausible.

At the same time, many brave and fearless exploration company employees also brought a lot of exploration equipment to the ruins of the Senate and began to prepare.

Pretending to seriously check the scene, Ye Tian began to issue instructions.

He asked his staff to erect the combined winch, and the location of the erection was exactly around the granite Doric column stone pier found earlier.

The heavy granite pier was then lifted and moved to the open space beside it.

While erecting the combined winch, he also asked the company's employees to number each stone and building remnant here, and record the coordinates of its location.

Even the placement method and the direction in which it is rushing must be clearly recorded.

Not only that, but also to shoot live video in order to restore the place to its original state in the future.

Following Ye Tian's order, many brave and fearless exploration company employees immediately acted, and everything went very quickly and in an orderly manner.

The many Moroccans who stood by and watched the excitement were all shocked.

Especially the explorers from various museums and universities in Morocco were completely dumbfounded.

Only now did they know how far their exploration team was from the world's top exploration team. It was a world of difference!

Just when his employees were busy, Ye Tian went to visit other places in the Shela ruins.

As before, he still didn't go to the Royal Cemetery, mainly because he didn't want to get into trouble.

This is a Muslim country with a strong religious atmosphere.

I found an ancient Roman treasure under the ruins of the Senate, and then excavated and swept half of the treasure. Moroccans can accept it although it hurts.

It's a different story if the location is a Merinid royal cemetery, and it's a treasure found in a sultan's tomb.

At that time, whether to dig the treasure or not, and how to distribute it, is a very troublesome thing.

More importantly, Moroccans may have a hard time accepting that a long-dead sultan was ransacked!

As Ye Tian himself, he has never been cold to anything dug up from the mausoleum.

It was for these reasons that he didn't plan to go into the royal cemetery to explore, and he didn't even have any interest in visiting.

He took a quick look at other parts of the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Shera.

Whether he found anything in these places, no one knows.

Ye Haiya, who accompanied the tour, also asked curiously, but Ye Tian just laughed softly and did not give an answer.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.

Ye Tian and the others were visiting the ruins of the ancient Roman Arc de Triomphe when the voice of his staff suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, the numbering work and the video shooting work have been completed, and the Doric pillar stone pier has also been moved to the open space next to it, and the excavation can be started next. You need to give an accurate location."

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Got it, Nick, I'll be there right away"

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the ruins of the Senate.

Professor Paul and Yahya immediately followed, and they were all in high spirits.

After a while, the group of them returned to the ruins of the Senate.

As Nick said, the granite Doric column stone pier that was originally placed here has been moved to the open space next to it.

The rest of the stones and building debris that were in the way were the same, and were moved to the side, all numbered and videotaped.

The broken walls and debris left in place, as well as the stones and slabs on the ground, were also numbered and various information was recorded.

Ye Tian, ​​who returned here, first quickly checked the situation at the scene, and then pointed to the pit pressed out by the granite Doric pillar stone pier, and said to his subordinate employees:

"Guys, start digging down from here, first find a way to cut the ground, and then dig a little bit. When cutting, be sure to cut along the gap, and try not to damage these slates!"

"Don't worry, Steven, everyone is familiar with these things, and nothing can go wrong."

Nick and the others nodded in unison.

Afterwards, these guys took out all kinds of equipment and started operations.

Ye Tian turned and left here, walked towards the center of the Senate ruins, and checked the situation directly above the ancient Roman treasure. He seemed very relaxed.

Those Moroccans, including Yahya, couldn't relax.

They stayed at the excavation site all the time, closely watching Nick's movements, everyone was full of expectations, but they were in a panic.

Soon, the sound of a cutting machine sounded at the scene, which was extremely harsh.

The granite slabs on the ground of the Senate site were cut open piece by piece, then pried up one by one, and moved to an open space on one side.

After a while, all the slates on the top layer were lifted up.

Under the surface, it is still granite.

But it is no longer a slate, but a block of stone.

Some of the stones are even joined together because of their age.

However, this did not stop the employees of the brave and fearless exploration company.

They can always find the connection between the two stones, then follow those ancient gaps to separate the two stones, and then hang them on the ground one by one, and put them aside!

As the excavation work began, the shallow pit where the granite Doric column stone pier was located became deeper and larger.

Soon, another hour passed.

In the center of the ruins of the Senate, Ye Tian was teaching Paul and the others to study some ancient cuneiform writing, and there was a sudden cheer from the excavation site.

"It's amazing. There are so many granite strips at the bottom of the pit. There must be some secrets hidden under these granite strips."

"These granite strips appear too abruptly, and there may be an entrance to a secret passage below!"

Hearing the cheers, Ye Tian and the others immediately turned to look over, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Gentlemen, it seems that there is a surprise discovery over there, let's go over and take a look."

After saying that, Ye Tian turned around and walked over there.

Professor Paul and the others followed immediately.

Within three or two steps, they had arrived at the excavation site, then passed through the crowd and came to the edge of the pit.

At this time, the pit has been dug about three meters deep, and the length and width of the pit are two meters five or six.

The stones and soil dug out of the pit were transported to the open space more than ten meters away and piled up into several hills.

The two guys digging at the bottom of the pit, with safety ropes tied around their waists, are cleaning up the dirt at the bottom of the pit!

As everyone said, at the bottom of this deep pit, there were four or five yellow granite strips placed side by side, which just covered the entire bottom of the pit.

The two ends of these granite strips are deeply buried in the soil on the north and south sides of the pit bottom. It is not known how deep they are buried.

From the soil layers of different depths on the inner wall of the pit, everyone can see that there must be some secrets hidden under those granite strips.

From the ground to a depth of about one meter and five deep, most of the pit is made of granite blocks. Like the situation around the pit wall, it should be the foundation of the Senate.

But beyond that depth, things change.

The surrounding walls of the pit are still dominated by granite stones, but the pit has become dominated by mud, with only a few stones.

It can be seen from this point that when the ancient Romans built the foundation of the senate, they did something here, leaving a relatively loose place.

Two thousand years ago, this might have been an entrance to a secret passage, but it was filled to death later.

In order to facilitate excavation, they put several thick and strong granite strips at the bottom of the pit to block the entrance of the secret passage below and bear the weight above.

Then fill the place with dirt and stones, erasing the traces of the secret passage.

Then a Doric column was erected on it, or a Doric column stone pier was moved from other places to cover up the traces.

Because the foundation below is relatively loose, the Doric column stone pier on the ground sank slightly.

And because of the existence of these granite strips deep underground, the stone pier did not sink very much, and it would not attract people's suspicious eyes.

Looking at the situation at the bottom of the pit, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:

"Guys, stop digging, wait until you put on protective equipment, and then continue digging. If there is a secret passage or the entrance to a secret room under these rocks, it may be dangerous.

It has been closed for more than 2,000 years, and no one knows what is going on inside. There may be a lot of poisonous gas accumulated, and there may even be deadly poisonous insects hidden, so you must be careful.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

In addition to the guys at the bottom of the pit, those who stay at the edge of the pit should also wear a full set of protective equipment, just in case, others should stay away from this area and come back after they are sure of safety."

Following his words, the two employees working at the bottom of the pit immediately stopped.

Everyone else nodded without any objection.

Then, everyone took action.

Most people were evacuated to a distance and wearing masks.

Those who were at the scene quickly put on a full set of protective equipment to protect themselves.
