Chapter 2430： Sacrificial ceremony

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

Two days have passed since the announcement of the tripartite joint exploration of the Mayan Empire’s golden city treasures press conference, and the sensation caused by this joint press conference has become more and more serious.

The joint press conference has not yet ended. Central and South American countries that have received the news through various social and online media have issued public statements one after another.

Without exception, all those countries made claims, trying to get a share of the Mayan Empire Golden City, the most famous and possibly the largest treasure in America.

In particular, the neighboring countries of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, are the successors of the Mayan Empire and demand to share this huge treasure.

As for the modern Maya tribes distributed in Central and South America, and even all the Indian tribes and organizations throughout the Americas, naturally they will not let this opportunity to make money and have made claims.

Their reasons sounded more reasonable. Every tribe claimed to be a descendant of the Maya. The Golden City of the Mayan Empire should belong to them, and no one else has the right to own it.

In addition, many international organizations, including UNESCO, and many countries outside of Central and South America, have expressed strong interest in this joint exploration operation.

UNESCO even sent an observation team to Honduras, hoping to follow the tripartite joint exploration team to start operations and conduct on-site supervision.

In fact, this is understandable.

As early as 1980, the ancient city of Copan was included in the "World Heritage List" as a cultural heritage of humanity, and it is one of the most important sites for studying Mayan civilization.

For this famous world cultural heritage, UNESCO has the responsibility and obligation to protect it. As far as this point is concerned, no one can say anything.

Of course, their main purpose for sending an observation team is to see if the three-party joint exploration team can find the famous Mayan Empire Golden City.

Once the Golden City of the Mayan Empire is found, it will undoubtedly be a huge discovery that has caused a sensation around the world, and it will be of great significance in studying the disappearing Maya civilization.

Ye Tian nodded very generously to this request made by UNESCO, allowing the observation team to follow, as long as it does not interfere with the actions of the tripartite joint exploration team.

He didn't bother to respond to the claims of other Central and South American countries, countless Maya tribes, and other Indian tribes and organizations, and didn't take it seriously.

In addition to UNESCO, the U.S. Embassy in Honduras also sent a cultural counsellor and another diplomat to participate in this tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of the Mayan Empire.

And this is a request made after discussion between Ye Tian and Professor Douglas and others. The purpose is to contain the Honduran government and military and make Hondurans more scrupulous.

Those guys at the US Embassy in Honduras will naturally not refuse this kind of good thing that can not only earn extra money but also attract a lot of attention, thereby enhancing influence and popularity.

Of course, these guys also considered the risks involved.

But these guys all confidently believe that, as their own American diplomats, the governments or military of Honduras and other Central and South American countries should not have the guts to do anything to themselves.

As for the Honduran government and military, they are already dreaming of a happy life after obtaining half of the treasures of the Mayan Empire Golden City, and there is no need to deal with the annoying noise from the outside world.

In a blink of an eye, it's another day.

Early in the morning, Ye Tian and the others, who had been packed and prepared, and the Columbia University team, finally left the hotel, ready to embark on a new journey to the ancient city of Copan to explore the golden city of the Mayan Empire.

Before leaving Tegucigalpa, there was a grand opening ceremony on the square in front of the Presidential Palace of Honduras. Everyone had to attend and perform in front of the public.

From the elevator, Ye Tian saw Hernando and Honduran Minister of Culture Hierro, two familiar old friends who came to greet him.

As he expected, the Honduran team that formed the tripartite joint exploratory team was led by Hernando and Hierro, plus some others.

Meeting these old Honduran friends, it was natural to have a polite greeting, and then Ye Tian and the others walked out of the hotel under the leadership of Hernando and others.

At the entrance of the hotel, the convoy driven by Cole has been waiting for a while.

On the street in front of the hotel, Honduran military police with live ammunition and high security can be seen everywhere. Even the entire street and several nearby buildings have been blocked, no one can enter.

Walking out of the hotel door, Ye Tian quickly looked at the many vehicles in the convoy and scanned the patched street at the door.

After confirming that there was no danger, he opened the door of a bulletproof SUV and got into the car. David and Hernando also got in the car one after another.

After everyone’s luggage and various equipment were loaded into the car, this huge convoy took off. It slowly drove out of the hotel and drove straight to the Presidential Palace of Honduras, escorted by a large number of military and police vehicles.

As soon as Ye Tian and the others left the hotel, the news spread quickly, spreading throughout Honduras and even Central and South America in an instant.

Everyone who has heard the news knows that the tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of the Mayan Empire’s Golden City has been officially launched, and it’s up to the joint exploration team to find the Golden City!

In a blink of an eye, the entire Central and South America has become restless.

Everyone and all countries in the domain stared with blood-red eyes, staring closely at every move of the three-party joint exploration team, full of greed.

At this time, Ye Tian was sitting in the back seat of the bulletproof SUV, enjoying the scenery outside the car window.

To be precise, he was looking at the Marash scum on the street, whose eyes were full of anger, hatred, and greed, but tried to restraint, and the expressions of those greedy passersby.

As in the previous two days, the Marasch scum on Tegucigalpa, although one by one could not rush to tear him to pieces, they tried their best to restrain their anger and just stared viciously at the team.

As for the passers-by on both sides of the street, whether they are the locals of Tegucigalpa, the people who have flocked in these days, and the Mayans and other Indians from the jungle.

These people all know that the exploration of the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire will begin immediately, and each of them dreams of making a fortune from this famous treasure and changing their lives ever since.

The eyes they looked at the United Exploration Team were full of greed and could not hide it.

It's a pity that this is just an illusory fantasy that is destined to be unfulfilled!

Looking at the faces of people on the street, Ye Tian and David sitting in the car looked at each other, and then Ye Tian sneered and said:

"It seems that the Hondurans are in the next big game. If not, how could these Marasch scums who have been accustomed to the streets swallow so hard, and endured it for several days, and never troubled us again.

Is it possible for these inhuman beasts to be transformed? I don’t believe it if they are killed. There is only one possibility. Greater interests will persecute them, and they will have to suppress the animality, so as not to spoil the good things of people."

David nodded slightly, and then said:

"Yes, Steven, Hondurans are probably not satisfied with getting half of the treasure. They may want to get the entire Mayan Empire Golden City. Maras may be their ready scapegoat.

From this point of view, your secret evacuation plan is very necessary and wise. If we stay in Honduras with half of the treasures of the Golden City, we will definitely become the target of everyone! "

"Honduras people had better not move this crooked mind, otherwise Lao Tzu will make them regret for life, no matter who, even the President of Honduras, if you dare to plot against us, then wait for hell!"

Ye Tian said with a sneer, a sharp murderous aura in his words.

While the two of them were chatting, the huge convoy had crossed street by street and reached the edge of the square in front of the Presidential Palace of Honduras.

The convoy just drove to the edge of the square and I saw Ye Tian far away. The square was heavily guarded. Honduran military police with live ammunition could be seen everywhere, and a large crowd of people gathered.

In the center of the square, a pyramid altar with a strong Maya culture was erected. Around the altar, there were a group of Mayans wearing national costumes, painted faces and feather crowns.

In front of the altar, there is a 50 or 60-year-old Maya tribe chief, or sorcerer. The eagle feather crown on his head is more gorgeous and higher than the others!

The Mayan tribe chief was closing his eyes slightly at this time, muttering words in his mouth, and slowly dancing with his hands high in the air, and his body was gently twisting with the drums, looking like a **** stick.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian and David couldn't help laughing softly, also a little curious.

Obviously, before this tripartite joint exploration operation officially begins, the Hondurans want to carry out a sacrificial ceremony in accordance with the Mayan tradition!

Of course, the times are different, this sacrificial ceremony does not require sacrifices by prisoners of war!
