“Stephen, this should be a building site from the Ptolemaic dynasty. Although it is very old, it has nothing to do with the ancestors of the Israelites!”
In another ancient building site near Luxor, a three-party joint exploration team is exploring here.
The person who introduced the situation to Ye Tian was an archaeologist from Columbia University. The thing he was referring to was an ancient building fragment.
There are no words or marks on this architectural fragment, only a few lines. Some clues can still be seen from its artistic style.
Ye Tian looked at the remnants of the building, then nodded slightly and said:
“Yes, from the analysis of the remaining lines on this stone, it looks like part of a Doric column. Doric column architecture appeared in ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty and was indeed similar to Israel. It doesn’t matter if you are an ancestor!”
Hearing this, Joshua and several Israelis standing aside felt a little disappointed, but also helpless!
This ancient building site, or ruins more appropriately, is the last exploration site of the three-party joint exploration team in Luxor.
If you still find nothing here, you can only leave and continue upstream along the Nile Valley to explore the possibly illusory treasures of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant.
The next exploration location is in Sudan. If there is still no discovery at the next exploration location, the three-party joint exploration team will have to enter the Ethiopian plateau.
Compared to Egypt, which is relatively politically stable, the situation in Sudan and Ethiopia is much more turbulent. Local armed forces are rampant and there is even a civil war going on, which can be said to be very dangerous.
If possible, no one wants to enter these two unstable countries.
Unfortunately, things are counterproductive. Judging from the current situation, the three-party joint exploration team will have to enter Sudan and Serbia!
For the Israeli government authorities, once the tripartite joint exploration team enters Sudan and Ethiopia, the price they pay for this joint exploration operation will increase significantly!
In order to ensure the safety of the tripartite joint exploration team, the Israeli government will have to agree to various demands made by various forces in Sudan and Ethiopia, even some unreasonable demands.
At the same time, they will also send a large number of armed personnel, and even the army, to stand ready near the border between the two countries or on the Red Sea, always ready to rescue the tripartite joint exploration team!
If a three-party joint exploration team discovers Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant in these two countries, it will be a very huge expense just to safely transport the treasure and open up relationships between all parties.
If we fail to do so, it may even trigger a war with these two countries.
Ye Tian didn’t care about these.
After appraising the remaining parts of the building, he glanced at Joshua and the others who were looking frustrated, then turned and walked towards several of his men not far away.
During the subsequent exploration, everyone discovered some more things and also detected some metal objects buried deep underground.
Unfortunately, after some research and analysis, it was determined that these discoveries have nothing to do with Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, and the metal objects buried deep underground have no excavation value!
When the time came to three o’clock in the afternoon, the exploration of this historical site officially came to an end. Everyone immediately left the historical site and drove back to Luxor, finding nothing!
Such a result undoubtedly disappoints everyone.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Tian immediately called David and Matisse to his room and began to prepare for the next stage of exploration.
“Guys, the goals of the three-party joint exploration team in Egypt have been completed today. Unfortunately, we have not found the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant.
Next, we will enter Sudan and even Ethiopia. These two African countries are currently in civil war. The situation is very chaotic and very dangerous.
We are going to explore the treasures in these two countries. We must make some preparations, and even be prepared to withdraw from these two countries at any time. Everyone’s safety is the most important, and the treasures are secondary.
Although the Israelis have done a lot of work, communicated with the governments and local armed forces of these two countries, and reached some agreements, I am still worried. We must be prepared.
Mattis, please arrange for a few guys to enter Sudan and Ethiopia to explore the local conditions, find out the details of the various local armed forces, and explore several quick evacuation routes!
On the borders of these two countries, as well as in neighboring countries, as well as on the Red Sea, we must arrange manpower and equipment to respond. Once the situation gets out of hand, we will withdraw from these two countries immediately.
When doing these things, you can ask the guys from Raytheon for help, you can also ask the local forces supported by the United States, as well as the embassy and the military to help. It is best not to let the Israelis know.”
After the words fell, Mattis immediately nodded and responded:
“Okay, Steven, leave these things to us, don’t worry!”
Next, they continued to discuss how to deal with the next exploration operation and made various preparations!
About half an hour later, Matisse and David just left and got busy.
On the night of that day and the early morning of the next day, several security personnel who had stayed in Cairo appeared in various capacities in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and Adeshiya, the capital of Ethiopia. Beba!
Immediately afterwards, those guys left the capitals of these two countries and headed to several destinations of the tripartite joint exploration team!
At the same time, many armed security personnel and various equipment taking orders from Ye Tian appeared one after another on the Sudanese border, the Ethiopian border, and the Red Sea!
On the night when the exploration mission in Luxor ended, Ahmed and the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt came together to find Ye Tian.
As soon as he entered his apartment, Ahmed asked:
“Steven, your exploration in Luxor has ended. Are you going to continue exploring elsewhere in Egypt, or are you preparing to leave Egypt? If so, when are you going to leave?”
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then said with a smile:
“I can tell you, Ahmed, that the tripartite joint exploration team’s exploration operations in Egypt have ended. Next, we will leave Egypt and enter Sudan and Ethiopia in the upper reaches of the Nile River.
But when we leave Luxor depends on the attitude of your Egyptian government. To put it clearly, I must determine the ownership of the ancient Egyptian writing pillar before I can leave Luxor and continue exploring! ”
Hearing this, Ahmed and the deputy minister immediately looked at each other, and then Ahmed stepped forward and said:
“Steven, after our report, Mr. President organized a serious discussion with all parties and decided to accept your transaction conditions and exchange gold worth 500 million US dollars for the ancient Egyptian writing pillar!
There is no way, we need to reserve a large amount of gold to maintain the stability of the monetary and financial system, so we can only bear the pain and transfer the priceless ancient Egyptian note pillar to you.
However, we need time, and we need to transport the ancient Egyptian note pillar to Cairo and put it on public display in the Egyptian National Museum for a period of time. We also need to copy an identical note pillar!
The length of this time is about one year. After one year, you can transport the ancient Egyptian writing column and hand over the gold worth 500 million U.S. dollars to us to complete the transaction of antique cultural relics.”
A look of surprise immediately appeared on Ye Tian’s face, without hiding it at all.
But he did not respond immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and then said with a smile:
“If you can accept the trading conditions I offer, that would be great. In this way, you will get the reserve gold worth 500 million US dollars, I will get the ancient Egyptian writing pillar, and we will each get something.
But for this amazing antique art transaction, I have several conditions. These conditions must be met before this antique artifact transaction can be completed. You can rest assured that these conditions are very reasonable! ”
Hearing this, Ahmed and the Egyptian Deputy Minister of Culture felt their eyelids twitching and had an unpleasant feeling.
“Tell me about your conditions, Steven, we are all ears. If the conditions are reasonable, then of course we can consider it”
Ahmed said calmly, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
“You are going to transport that ancient Egyptian writing column to Cairo for display, and it will take up to one year. In other words, within this year, that ancient Egyptian writing column is completely out of my control!
In order to ensure that 50% of my rights and interests are not damaged, should we sign an agreement? Use documents to confirm the transaction of antique cultural relics. After all, words are not supported!
One more thing, one year later, when we complete this transaction of antique cultural relics, I will only pick up the gold and hand it over to you after I transport the ancient Egyptian writing pillar away! ”
“It’s OK to sign the document confirming the deal, but if you plan to transport that ancient Egyptian tablet and then give us the gold a year later, that’s absolutely not OK!
What if you regret it? Carry away the notepads but not give us gold, what if you can’t find that gold? Who will guarantee our interests? ”
Ahmed shook his head, refusing to accept the condition.
Ye Tian smiled and said calmly:
“This problem is easy to solve. One year later, when I transport the ancient Egyptian writing pillar, I will purchase 500 to 600 million U.S. dollars of gold futures in the gold futures market and hand over the futures contract to you.
After I find the gold worth 500 million U.S. dollars and hand it over to you, you will return the gold futures contract to me, and then I will close the position. In this way, the interests of both of us can be protected. ! ”
Hearing this, the two senior Egyptian government officials were stunned and did not react for a long time.
After a while, Ahmed said with a wry smile:
“I almost forgot, you used to work on Wall Street. This method couldn’t be easier for you. Well, as long as our interests can be ensured, we can accept this trading method!”
Next, Ye Tian discussed the details of the transaction with these two old friends, and asked David to draft an agreement on the spot and handed it to Ahmed.
About an hour later, Ahmed and the others left.
Immediately afterwards, Joshua, Bishop Kent, and Seaman came together to discuss the follow-up exploration operations with Ye Tian!
Regarding the turbulent situation in Sudan and Ethiopia, they are also worried about safety issues when entering these two countries to explore Solomon’s treasures and the Ark of the Covenant!
The night passed quickly and it was a new day.
The three-party joint exploration team did not leave immediately, but planned to stay in Luxor for two days to rest and prepare various supplies and equipment before setting off to enter Sudan along the Nile Valley.
After breakfast, most of the joint exploration team members left the hotel and went to visit the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile River under the protection of many security personnel.
Ye Tian and the others stayed in the hotel, waiting to negotiate with the Egyptian government representatives again, and then sign an agreement to confirm the transaction of the ancient Egyptian writing pillar.
At around 11 a.m., after representatives of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Ministry of Finance arrived in Luxor, the negotiations officially began.
The Egyptian government accepted Ye Tiankai’s conditions and agreed to exchange gold worth US$500 million for 50% of the equity in the ancient Egyptian writing pillar. The transaction will be completed in a year.
Within this year, the ancient Egyptian writing column will be collected in the National Museum of Egypt and put on public display, so that experts and scholars in Egypt can conduct various academic research on it!
Not only that, the National Museum of Egypt can also make a copy of it as it is and continue to display it in the National Museum of Egypt for exhibition and research!
Waiting for a year, Ye Tian gave the Egyptian government $500 million in gold before he could transport away the ancient Egyptian writing pillar!
Although the transaction agreement was signed on the spot, it was not immediately announced to the public to avoid raising doubts and objections from the public, and even setting off a wave of protests and demonstrations!
Because the previously discovered Rommel treasure was monopolized by the Intrepid Exploration Company, the Egyptian government attracted a lot of criticism, and it became a lever for many opposition parties to attack the government!
Fortunately, the Egyptians also understood that the treasure of the Pyramid of Apophis I was more valuable. The fact that the Rommel treasure was swallowed up by Ye Tian did not cause too much trouble!
If the details of this antique and cultural relics transaction are leaked out, they might be used to oppose the Egyptian government and this antique and cultural relics transaction!
No one wants to see this situation!
After signing the agreement, the Egyptians immediately took action and transported the ancient Egyptian recording pillar to Cairo that afternoon.
After handling this priceless treasure, Ye Tian also relaxed. He temporarily put aside the exploration of Solomon’s treasure and took David and the others to visit the Valley of the Kings!
The short rest period passed quickly. Two days later, the three-party joint exploration team left Luxor and continued along the Nile Valley, heading straight to Sudan upstream!
