Chapter 3212： Ninety-eight K at the Peak

Everyone stood on the top of the mountain and admired the scenery in the desert for a while, and then began to explore.

This fragment of the wall on the top of the mountain, now only some low stone walls are left, the highest is only about one meter, and most of the rest are buried under the yellow sand.

How many ruins are buried under the sand is not known for the time being. Only by excavating the sand can we find out.

Perhaps because it is close to the sea, and on the edge of the Sahara Desert, the wind is strong from east and west.

The yellow sand that was carried by the wind from the Sahara Desert and then fell on the top of this hill will soon be taken away by the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean and sent back to the Sahara Desert.

Thousands of years of repetition have not allowed the yellow sand to completely bury this hill.

Because of this, this fragment of the wall on the top of the mountain has been preserved to this day.

The yellow sand covering the top of the mountain is not as thick as in the desert below, and the patterns on its surface blown out by the wind are also very different from those of the sand dunes in the desert, which are not as beautiful.

After the exploratory operation began, everyone dispersed, divided into groups, and began to inspect the ruins.

At the same time, Jason led an exploration team, with a pulse metal detector and a portable deep ground penetrating radar, to detect all over the top of the mountain.

In just a moment, they had already discovered something.

Ye Tian just squatted down and was looking at the remains of an ancient building component when a pleasant chirping sound suddenly came from not far away.

It was the chirping sound of a pulse metal detector, and it sounded like the sound of nature.

Without exception, everyone on the top of the mountain turned to look at the place where the sound came from.

The next moment, Jason's excited voice also came over.

"Steven, we scanned several metal objects, buried in the ground, less than two meters from the ground. I don't know what they are. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Before the words fell, Ye Tian had already walked over there.

Yahya and Paul, who were at the top of the mountain, taught them faster than him, and they couldn't wait.

In a blink of an eye, everyone has come to the exploration team led by Jason.

Seeing everyone coming, Jason immediately scanned the ground again with the probe of the pulse metal detector.

Following his movements, the pleasant chirping sound suddenly sounded again.

Ye Tian stepped forward immediately, checked the detection data on the pulse metal detector, and then looked at the situation on the ground.

Then he fell into deep thought.

Ye Haiya, who was standing aside, couldn't wait.

"Steven, what are these metal objects? Is it an unknown treasure?"

Ye Tian looked at him, then shook his head.

"It is unlikely that these metal objects are treasures. There are only three or four pieces of them, and the buried ones are relatively shallow and scattered. Judging from the distribution of metal signals, they may be several long weapons.

Of course, this is only my preliminary judgment, and it is uncertain whether it is accurate or not. If you want an accurate answer, you can do it yourself and dig out these metal objects to see.

Fortunately, these metal objects are not buried deep, and the soil here is relatively soft, so the excavation is not difficult, and it is estimated that it will not take long to dig them out of the ground.”

Hearing his words, everyone was somewhat disappointed.

Since it is not a treasure, there is no need to surround it here.

Everyone immediately dispersed and went to different places to explore.

Yahya didn't leave, he looked at the ground where metal objects were scanned.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Ye Tian who was about to leave:

"Steven, I'm going to let people dig out these metal objects to see what they are. Maybe they can get a little surprise."

Ye Tian looked at the high-ranking Moroccan official, then nodded and said:

"Of course no problem, Ye Haiya, of course you can dig out these metal objects, but be careful to prevent accidents.

These metal objects may be ancient weapons, but they may also be weapons buried during World War II. During World War II, this was a battlefield.

More importantly, the location of this small hill is very important. Anyone who wants to defend Casablanca will definitely set up a defensive position here.

In this case, it should be a very normal thing to find weapons and ammunition during World War II here, and you must be mentally prepared for this.”

"what!"

Ye Haiya exclaimed and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he nodded and said:

"Thank you for your reminder, Steven, we will be careful, whether these metal objects are ancient weapons or weapons buried in World War II.

We are all ready to dig! "

"Well then, I wish you good luck, I hope you can get a surprise"

Ye Tian said with a smile.

After a few more chats, he turned and left.

After he left, Yahya immediately called a Moroccan archaeologist and three expedition team members to start exploring and analyzing the situation here, and then began to excavate.

In fact, there is no need to explore here at all, there is only sand on the ground, and there are no broken walls and debris, so there is no need to worry about any damage.

Ye Haiya and the others briefly checked the situation, and immediately began to dig.

On the other side, Ye Tian and Professor Paul are studying several ancient Greek letters carved on a stone.

Due to the age, these ancient Greek letters are very blurred, and the middle letters are not clearly visible at all, and cannot be distinguished.

As a result, these letters cannot be connected in series, and can only be guessed by the first and last letters, and the accuracy can be imagined.

But one thing is certain!

The discovery of these ancient Greek letters shows that the ancient building that once existed here should have been built when ancient Rome ruled this land and has a very long history.

The official languages ​​used in ancient Rome included not only ancient Latin, but also ancient Greek.

Especially in the upper class of ancient Rome, ancient Greek was more popular and was a symbol of noble status.

Not only ancient Rome, but also the upper classes of the countries around the Mediterranean at that time, ancient Greek was more popular.

After carefully studying these ancient Greek letters and thinking for a while, Professor Paul said:

"Steven, these ancient Greek letters are the same as the first letters of Cronus' name, but unfortunately the middle letters are unrecognizable and cannot be completely certain.

Kronos is the second-generation god-king in ancient Greek mythology, the youngest of the twelve Titans, and one of his sons with Rhea, the **** of the sea, is Poseidon.

If it can be determined that the name of Kronos is engraved on this stone, then it is basically certain that this temple that has already collapsed is a Sea God Temple.

These words engraved on the stone should tell the life of Poseidon, the sea god, and this stone records the origin of the sea **** Poseidon, saying that he is the son of the **** king! "

Ye Tian looked at the ancient Greek letters engraved on the stone, then nodded and said:

"This is indeed a small discovery, but to conclude that this is the ruins of the Sea God Temple, some stronger evidence is needed to confirm this.

If you can find other stones that record the life and deeds of Poseidon, the sea god, or stones related to it, such as the stone that records the name of Rhea or Zeus.

Combining all the findings and linking all the clues to analyze, maybe we can determine whether this ruin is the temple of Poseidon, the sea god."

Professor Paul nodded, and then continued:

"Yeah, just based on a few incomplete ancient Greek letters on this stone, we really can't draw a convincing conclusion. I hope we can find other stronger evidence in the future."

Next, the two of them studied the stone for a while, then put it aside, and went to check the half-dilapidated stone wall next to it.

In the subsequent exploration process, they successively discovered several ancient Greek letters, some ancient Greek and ancient Roman style architectural remnants, and so on.

Of course, there are also many traces and graffiti left by later generations.

There are Berber, Old Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as French, German and English, to name a few.

There is even a line of graffiti, which is a girl's name, followed by a heart and an arrow passing through the heart. The meaning is clear.

It is a pity that in those ancient texts and patterns, they did not find any information related to Poseidon, nor did they find any clues to Atlantis.

In the meantime, others have made some discoveries.

Several exploration teams have found several metal objects buried at different depths in different places on the hill.

But those metal objects are scattered everywhere and have nothing to do with treasures. Two of the metal objects look more like funeral objects.

After Ye Tian checked the corresponding detection data, he quickly came to a conclusion.

These buried metal objects are neither treasures, nor have anything to do with the legendary Atlantis, and have no value for mining.

In addition, Jason and the others used portable deep ground penetrating radar to discover several tombs one after another, as well as a cave inside the mountain.

In these places, there are no surprising discoveries.

As for the cave inside the mountain,

It is a naturally formed cave, deep and completely enclosed, with no hidden treasures inside.

In the ruins on the top of the mountain, Professor Kane and Professor Douglas also found some stones with ancient characters and patterns, as well as building fragments.

After some research and analysis, those ancient characters and patterns did not bring any surprises.

Many of the words and patterns in it are blurred and indistinguishable, and even if there are secrets hidden inside, it is impossible to decipher them now. .

And those building remnants can only prove that there was an ancient Roman-style building here.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to around one o'clock.

Ye Tian and Professor Paul have come halfway up the mountain and are checking and analyzing the detection data on a pulse metal detector.

An exploration team responsible for exploring this area has just scanned some metal signals here, so they came to check.

It is a pity that these buried metal objects are not treasures, but fragments of artillery shells.

The first time he arrived here, Ye Tian used his perspective ability to see clearly.

However, he still pretended to observe and analyze it carefully, and then gave the answer that these metal objects were not treasures and had no value for mining.

Just as he came to a conclusion, Yahya's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, the metal objects buried on the top of the mountain have been dug up by us. As a result, we worked hard and found no treasure."

Ye Tian smiled softly, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"What are those metal objects buried in the ground? Are they ancient weapons?"

"It's a weapon, yes, but it's not an ancient weapon, but a modern weapon. These are a few German-made 98K rifles wrapped in oilcloth and buttered, and some matching bullets.

As you said before, these 98K rifles must have been hidden during World War II, but for some reason, the people who buried these guns did not take them away in the end.”

Yahya responded with a slightly frustrated tone.

"It's actually a few 98K rifles. It sounds interesting. Let me go and see."

With that said, Ye Tian walked towards the top of the mountain.

Professor Paul and David also followed.

People have been exploring here for an hour or two and have found nothing.

These World War II-era rifles may be the only discoveries of this expedition, and they also want to see them.

Soon, a few of them came to the top of the mountain and converged with Ye Haiya and others.

At this time, there were several more pits about two meters deep on the ground on the top of the mountain.

At the feet of Yahya, there are several German 98K rifles.

The tarpaulins that had wrapped the rifles had now been uncovered.

As Yahya said on the walkie-talkie before, these 98K guns are covered in butter.

In addition to several rifles, dozens of rounds were found.

Due to the dry climate and the proper protection, these rifles and bullets are in very good condition.

Just figure out a way to wipe off the clotted butter, and take good care of them, and these rifles should still be able to shoot, just as they did in WWII.

Whether those bullets are still usable is unknown.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others coming, Ye Haiya immediately said in frustration:

"We spent a little bit of effort and made a mess, but only a few German 98K rifles and bullets were dug up. If we knew this, we shouldn't have dug up just now!"

Ye Tian stepped forward and looked at the 98K rifles, then joked:

"You should feel lucky, fortunate that this time, a few 98K rifles were dug up instead of bombs. In that case, the trouble will be big, and there may be danger.

When we were exploring Solomon's treasure in the Egyptian desert last year, we found a lot of mines laid by the German army during World War II, which could explode at any time."

"hiss!"

There was a sound of sucking air at the scene, and Ye Haiya and the others were all taken aback.

They quickly recalled the process of excavating these 98K rifles just now. If these 98K rifles were replaced with mines, they would have died and been blown to pieces!

Thinking of this, the Moroccan expedition team members who were in charge of the excavation were terrified and shivered secretly.

At this point, Ye Tian squatted down and started to check the 98K rifles.

While checking, he was also introducing this rifle.

"Although these 98K rifles have a history of more than 70 years, they are very well preserved and can be regarded as antique firearms, which have a certain collection value.

these few

Rifles should be able to be used normally. In the eyes of firearms enthusiasts they are still very popular. From this point of view, it can not be said that they have gained nothing! "

With that said, Ye Tian took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then picked up a 98K rifle and started fiddling with it.

"click"

He pulled the bolt at will and looked at the inside of the barrel.

The barrel of the gun is also smeared with butter and well protected.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the gun and glanced into the distance, and then looked at the inscription engraved on the gun, full of love.

Although he loves it, he didn't think about collecting these 98K rifles.

In fact, he already had a German 98K rifle in the gun store at his home in New York, and there were more than one.

Each of his 98Ks is perfect, far surpassing these old guns.

Just as he was admiring these rifles, Professor Kane's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, and he was quite excited.

"Steven, come and see the north of the hill, we found a very important wreckage of a building component here, it may provide some valuable clues"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately put down the 98K in his hand and took off his gloves.

Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Received, Professor Kane, we'll go there right away, hope it's a nice surprise"

With that said, he walked towards the north of the hill.

Professor Paul and the others followed immediately, all of them looking forward to it.
