While talking, Ye Tian had already arrived in front of the adobe house on the top of the mountain.
The adobe house was now crumbling, with the doors and windows in tatters. It seemed that a strong wind could blow the adobe house down.
Ye Tian did not enter the adobe house, but gently opened the ajar door and checked the situation inside.
The furnishings in the adobe house are very simple, with a wooden bed and a wooden table, a gas tank and stove, a few cups and dishes, and a large tank for storing water. There are no more Something else.
Obviously, this is a temporary residence for the nearby shepherds, used to escape the wind and sand, or stay here at night. Everything inside is public and can be used by whoever comes.
Since no one has come here to herd sheep or stay overnight for a long time, this adobe house has not been repaired and is already crumbling. Everything in the room has a thick layer of sand on it, and there is no fresh water in the water tank. .
Ye Tian quickly scanned the room, and finally his eyes fell on a broken pottery shard under the table.
There was no cuneiform writing or exquisite decorative patterns on the broken pottery fragment, and it looked ordinary.
But in Ye Tian's eyes, the broken piece of pottery radiated dazzling light. Like the Arab painted pottery pot in Joseph's hand, it was an antique cultural relic from the Persian Empire in more than 400 BC.
Just because there are no cuneiform characters and exquisite patterns on this broken pottery piece, it is not of that great value, and naturally it cannot catch Ye Tian’s eye!
Ye Tian's eyes stayed on the broken pottery for a moment, and then he began to look through the underground of the adobe house to see what he could find.
Unfortunately, in addition to loess and gravel, what appeared in his eyes were some broken pottery shards, fragments of buildings or sculptures, etc., and no complete artifact was found.
Ye Tian was not disappointed with this result.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, turned around, left the adobe house, and walked towards the sheep pen located seven or eight meters away, located downwind.
This sheepfold located on a hill was transformed by shepherds using a natural depression on the top of the hill. It is several meters lower than other locations on the top of the hill, like a large bowl with the mouth facing upward.
For shepherds in the desert, there is no better place than this. Once a sandstorm blows in the desert, and they cannot drive their sheep back to the oasis in time, they can only take shelter here.
As long as the sheep are driven into the sheep pen in time, there is no need to worry about the sandstorm swallowing the sheep and sending the sheep to who knows where.
What they have to do is to wait for the sandstorm to pass and shovel out the yellow sand that fell into the sheepfold, so that the yellow sand will not gradually fill up the place and lose such a natural shelter.
In fact, there are indeed some traces of excavation around the sheepfold. The Arab painted pottery pot in Joseph's hand may have been dug out from here!
Ye Tian did not go down to the sheepfold to check the situation. The thick layer of feces inside the sheepfold and the fishy smell that had not dissipated yet successfully stopped him in his tracks.
But this does not prevent him from observing the situation here, nor does it prevent him from using perspective to see the situation deeper underground.
As his eyes passed through the dung in the sheepfold, as well as the thick soil and gravel, and continued deeper into the ground, a colorful underground world suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
To be more precise, it was a small city buried deep underground.
In this city, he saw several houses, streets, and fallen trees that had been engulfed by yellow sand.
In those houses, there are some complete Arab painted pottery pots, which are almost identical to the pottery pot in Joseph's hand, as well as other furniture items, such as pottery pots and the like.
In addition, in one of the slightly larger houses, there are two marble sculptures and some metal objects, including weapons and agricultural tools, but only in small quantities.
However, in these ancient houses and the surrounding areas, there are no human bones, not even animal bones. The people and animals living in this city seem to have suddenly disappeared!
The situation in this ancient city deep underground made Ye Tian start to think about it, and such a picture appeared in front of his eyes.
Sometime in more than 400 BC, a huge sandstorm suddenly blew up in this desert, covering the sky and the sun. Every city and tribe that the sandstorm passed through was instantly buried by the yellow sand!
The people who originally lived in this city, or the Akkadian tribe who lived here, had no choice but to move their entire family in the face of such an apocalyptic disaster.
People fled here in a hurry with their families and livestock, fleeing to the next oasis in a desperate attempt to escape this huge disaster.
They fled in such a hurry that they even forgot to lock the door of their home and did not take any bottles or cans with them. They only took away the most basic necessities and left everything else here.
Under the attack of that giant sandstorm, the city they lived in was instantly buried by the yellow sand in the sky. This burial lasted for more than two thousand years. No one has ever discovered this city again, until today!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at other parts of the sheepfold and continued to explore this ancient city buried deep underground.
What appeared in his eyes was still a dazzling light, which was intoxicating.
In a short time, he had seen five or six ancient houses, many valuable antiques, and the ancient civilization that once existed on this land.
Unfortunately, the area of the sheepfold is not large. Except for other areas outside the sheepfold, because the soil layer is too thick, he cannot see through other parts of the underground city for the time being.
But this was enough for him to make up his mind to look for opportunities to cooperate with the Saudi government in the future to launch a joint exploration operation to dig out this ancient city.
After exploring the situation below the sheepfold, Ye Tian turned around and left here, preparing to explore the other side of the mountain top.
At this moment, Walker's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, sounding quite excited.
"Steven, we scanned some metal signals, scattered and buried five or six meters underground. Judging from their shape, they seem to be ancient weapons, and there are several of them"
After hearing the announcement, Ye Tian did not respond immediately. He first looked in the direction of Walker and the others, then looked at the sky, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Well done, Walker, I'll go to your side right away to see what you found. In fact, I already have the answer in my mind as to what is buried under this hill!"
With that said, he walked towards where Walker and the others were, giving up his plan to explore the other side of the hill. There was no need for that anymore!
At the same time, Peter's curious inquiry came from the intercom.
"Steven, can you tell us what is buried under this hill? Is it an amazing treasure? Or something else?
One thing I don’t quite understand is that there are a lot of pottery fragments here, and we just found a few pieces. Why did the Saudis turn a blind eye and not launch an archaeological operation? ”
Ye Tian smiled softly and then gave his answer.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be an ancient city buried deep underground on this hill. The person who built this city was probably an Akkadian from the Mesopotamia. Human tribe!
Sometime in more than 400 BC, a giant sandstorm may have erupted here, completely burying this Akkadian city, and leaving this ancient civilization site perfectly preserved to this day!
Of course, this is just my speculation, and it is not certain whether it is accurate. Only when we cooperate with the Saudi government and dig up this small hill can we know whether my speculation is correct. This is worth looking forward to! ”
Before he finished speaking, a burst of exclamation came from the intercom.
"Wow! It's amazing that there is an ancient city buried under this hill!"
"If this is true, then there is no doubt that the discovery of this Akkadian city will definitely cause quite a stir!"
The ones who exclaimed in surprise were naturally Peter and Walker. These guys were all shocked by Ye Tian's words, and they were all excited!
They all believed in Ye Tian's inference that there must be an ancient city under this hill!
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:
"As for why the Saudis ignored these ancient pottery fragments and did not carry out exploration and archaeological operations here, one is because the archaeological awareness is very weak, and the other is because the place is remote and the culture is very backward.
The area we are now in is the most remote and poorest province in Saudi Arabia. Not many people in Saudi Arabia pay attention to it. Moreover, it is adjacent to Yemen and has been in turmoil all year round. No one comes here!
More importantly, the Saudis may only have oil in their eyes! We don't care at all about the so-called civilizational relics in these remote corners. Don't forget, we are standing on a piece of land with the richest oil reserves in the world! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian walked down from the top of the hill and walked straight towards Walker and the others who were exploring halfway up the mountain!
