In the rest area, Ye Tian was still introducing this granite pillar to everyone.
“With the many cracks on the surface of this granite pillar, it should be very fragile. If you are not careful, it may fall apart, but this granite pillar is very strong.
Obviously, this is a doubtful point. According to my estimation, there must be something like reinforced concrete inside this granite pillar, which firmly fixes the granite outside the pillar.
There is another doubtful point, which is the weight of this granite stone pillar. When I used it on the street stall outside, I felt something was wrong with the weight of this granite stone pillar.
Compared to a granite pillar of the same volume, this stone pillar is slightly heavier. From this point of view, the things hidden inside the stone pillar are heavier than ordinary granite.
If I guess correctly, there may be gold products hidden in this stone pillar. Of course, these are just speculations. The answer will be revealed when the granite stone pillar is broken open later! ”
Listening to Ye Tian's explanation, everyone at the scene nodded frequently and became more excited, with everyone's eyes shining.
After finishing his words, Sanchez immediately reached out and picked up the granite pillar, feeling the weight of the pillar.
The next moment, this guy nodded excitedly and said:
"You're right, Steven, the weight of this granite pillar is indeed a bit wrong, a bit heavier, but the difference is so small that you can't notice it if you don't feel it carefully.
I have seen this granite pillar more than once in the square outside, but I have never discovered these doubts. What a pity! ”
When he said these words, Sanchez's eyes were full of regret, and he almost beat his chest.
Not only him, but Hernando and several other Honduran government officials, experts and scholars standing next to him also regretted it so much that their eyes almost turned red.
Next, Ye Tian talked about some of his judgments and discussed with several experts and scholars at the scene to discuss and guess what was hidden in this granite pillar.
While talking, the staff of the National Museum of Honduras had brought in two hammers, one large and one small. The big one was as big as an adult's fist, and the smaller one was used to drive nails.
After taking the big hammer from Sanchez, Ye Tian did not hesitate at all, swung the hammer directly and hit the end of the granite pillar.
"Bang——!"
With a loud noise, the hammer the size of an adult's fist in Ye Tian's hand hit the end of the granite pillar, causing a string of sparks.
Looking at the yellow granite stone pillar again, its end has been smashed open, and the cracks on the surface of the stone pillar have also expanded a lot, but the stone pillar has not been broken.
Ye Tian glanced at the stone pillar on the ground, then swung the hammer again and hit the end of the stone pillar. The impact point was still at the same position as before.
There was another deafening loud noise, which startled everyone in the museum and attracted everyone's attention.
After this hammering, the end of the granite pillar was completely cracked, revealing what was wrapped inside.
As Ye Tian said before, inside the stone pillar is a reinforced concrete column, about five or six centimeters in diameter, with many protruding steel hooks, which firmly secure the outer layer of granite at the end of the stone pillar.
The other end of this reinforced concrete column penetrates deep into the middle of the stone column, completely sealing one end of the secret grid located in the middle of the stone column.
With the appearance of this reinforced concrete column, there was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene.
"Wow! This granite pillar looks crude on the outside, but its internal structure is so exquisite. It obviously took a lot of effort to make and disguise it. I don't know what treasure is hidden inside the pillar?"
"Do you still need to ask? A treasure worth so much effort to hide must be of great significance and priceless value. I am so looking forward to seeing this mysterious treasure in the stone pillar!"
While everyone was talking about it, Ye Tian swung the hammer again and hit the top of the granite pillar on the ground.
After two heavy blows, the top of the granite pillar was violently smashed open, revealing what was still a reinforced concrete pillar with many steel hooks on it.
Ye Tian put the hammer in his hand on the ground, then reached out to pick up the dilapidated granite pillar and observed it with interest.
"As you can see, this three-stage granite hidden grid is designed very cleverly and breathtakingly. According to my estimation, the design and production process of this thing should be like this.
The maker first found the granite pillar, then drew a detailed construction paper, and then cut the granite pillar into three sections with extremely irregular edges in a certain way.
During the cutting process, he only needs to keep the middle section of the granite pillar intact. The parts at both ends of the pillar can even be broken into pieces of different sizes and finally glued back together.
Next, he hollowed out the interior of these three granite pillars, designed the middle part into a secret compartment, and then placed the things he wanted to hide inside.
Next, he sealed both ends of the middle stone column with reinforced concrete, and left many steel hooks on the reinforced concrete column to fix the granite outside.
While the reinforced concrete column was still wet, he attached granite stones cut into blocks and used concrete and steel hooks to weld the stones firmly to the surface of the stone column.
This explains why there are so many cracks on the surface of this granite pillar. Some of these cracks are left when cutting the granite stone, and some are disguised later."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded slightly. There was no difference of opinion, and everyone was filled with emotion.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“After the reinforced concrete was completely integrated with the outside stones and dried, he began to write on the surface of the granite pillar, carving some meaningless words and patterns.
Using these meaningless words and patterns, as well as poor carving techniques, the maker perfectly covered up some of the flaws left on the surface of the stone pillar, thus making people ignore the stone pillar.
The Spanish characters and chronological numerals at the bottom of the stone pillar are also used to deceive others, lest anyone really regard this stone pillar, which is full of Mayan hieroglyphics and patterns, as an antique cultural relic.
To sum up, I am sure that the person who designed and made this granite pillar was by no means a Mayan farmer, but an extremely thoughtful person, perhaps an archaeologist.
The purpose of doing so much work is to hide this treasure in the stone pillar, but for some reason, this extremely exquisite granite stone pillar will be left outside"
As Ye Tian spoke, he broke off the broken stones on the stone pillars.
The guys standing nearby were staring closely at the granite pillar in his hand with extremely eager eyes, not even willing to blink.
Soon, Ye Tian cleaned up the rubble on the stone pillar.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the smaller hammer, placed the middle section of the granite pillar on the floor, and started banging it.
After beating quickly for a while, he stopped and put the small hammer on the floor aside.
The next moment, he picked up the granite pillar on the ground again, held the reinforced concrete pillar at one end with his hand, and began to try to shake and pull out the reinforced concrete pillar.
At the beginning, the reinforced concrete pillar did not move at all, but after Ye Tian gave another intensive and powerful blow, and under his almost terrifying power, the guy finally moved.
After another tossing and pulling out two hidden wedges, Ye Tian finally pulled out the reinforced concrete column and threw it aside.
With his action, everyone on the scene looked at the hollow granite pillar, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
As Ye Tian said, this is a secret hidden grid in the middle of the granite pillar.
In this secret compartment, there is something tightly hidden. The outside is wrapped in gray linen, and the edges are padded with some wooden strips, leaving no gaps.
The reinforced concrete pillars at the upper and lower ends of the hidden grid squeezed the thing wrapped in linen from both ends, leaving no gaps.
In this way, the thing placed in the dark compartment cannot shake or make any sound, and naturally it will not be exposed.
Ye Tian looked at the situation in the dark room, then took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands, and then carefully took out the thing in the dark room.
After taking out the thing wrapped in linen, he threw the broken granite pillar aside. It had no value.
Without exception, everyone at the scene was staring at the thing wrapped in linen with anticipation.
Ye Tianze took a deep breath and then uncovered the gray linen cloth layer by layer.
When he uncovered the last layer of linen, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed before everyone's eyes, making everyone feel dizzy.
What appeared in front of everyone was a dazzling golden scepter. It was thick at the top and thin at the bottom. It was about 40 centimeters long and about 4 to 5 centimeters in diameter. It was engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and various mysterious patterns. .
On the top of this golden scepter stands a golden raven, which looks a bit strange.
The scene fell silent instantly. Everyone, including Ye Tian, froze on the spot, staring at the golden scepter with their mouths open, their eyes filled with incredulity and madness.
After a while, the silence was broken.
"Oh my god! What did I see? It's incredible. This is the golden scepter of the Mayan Empire. Steven, is this golden scepter the same as your six-pointed star golden scepter head?"
Professor Delgado immediately exclaimed, almost going crazy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian gave a decisive answer.
“This is indeed the golden scepter of the Mayan Empire. The Mayan hieroglyphics and patterns engraved on the scepter are enough to explain everything. According to my identification, this golden scepter has a history of at least 1,500 years.
But unfortunately, this does not match the head of my six-pointed golden scepter, and it is a complete scepter. One thing is for sure, this golden scepter is definitely a priceless treasure! ”
Following Ye Tian's words, the scene immediately erupted into excitement, and there were exclamations one after another in an instant.
