After the golden wine pot, Ye Tian took out a gold plate from the open crate.
As expected, this exquisite gold plate is also engraved with a golden lion statue and a line of Amharic.
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more sure.
The treasures hidden in this sunken ship at the bottom of the lake are the treasures that the Solomon Dynasty of Ethiopia accumulated for hundreds of years but mysteriously disappeared during World War II.
The treasures of the Solomon Dynasty may not be all of the treasures in this shipwreck, but they are at least a very important part.
Obviously, during World War II, the Italians not only occupied the entire Ethiopia, but also looted the Ethiopian royal family.
It is a pity that they did not have time to transport this amazing treasure, but hid it at the bottom of Lake Tana, ultimately benefiting Ye Tian and the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company.
Next, Ye Tian checked several more gold products.
Without exception, these gold products are engraved with the symbols of the Solomonic dynasty.
After checking it, he put the gold products into the crate and said:
"Guys, nail this crate back up, and then let's bring this box of gold products to the surface of the lake. This exploration operation is complete, and then it's time to salvage and clean it up."
"Okay, Steven"
Peter and Charlie nodded in agreement and took action immediately.
In the blink of an eye, they had nailed the crate.
Then they dragged the crate and swam toward the main deck above.
Ye Tian, who was the last to leave, closed the hatch again and swam upward.
After a while, they returned to the main deck of the sunken ship, carrying the crate filled with gold products.
Fortunately, this crate contains all gold products and is not very heavy.
If it was all gold bars, there was no way they could have gotten this crate onto the main deck so easily.
Next, Peter took off his diving propeller and swam to the iron cage.
He went over there and brought some buoyancy bags and a rope net.
Then everyone worked together to put the crate into the rope net, tie the buoyancy bag on the rope net, and then began to inject air into the buoyancy bag.
After some operations, the crate gradually floated up, and everyone no longer had to carry it.
Subsequently, Ye Tian and Charlie also took off their respective diving propellers, pulled the crate away from the treasure ship, and swam toward the iron cage.
After a while, the three of them entered the iron cage.
Immediately afterwards, they opened several large buoyancy bags tied to the top of the iron cage and began to inject compressed air into them.
As the large buoyancy bags gradually expanded, the heavy iron cage was slowly pulled away from the bottom of the lake.
The moment the iron cage left the bottom of the lake, Ye Tian and the others immediately stopped injecting air.
The next moment, this heavy iron cage was suspended in the lake water, less than ten centimeters from the bottom of the lake.
Ye Tian observed the situation and then said through the intercom:
"Guys, you can start the crane and pull us up. Just like when you dived before, we will make two decompression stops during the ascent. I will tell you at which depth we will make the decompression stops."
"Got it, Steven"
The exploration team operating the crane on the lake responded and took action immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the iron cage was slowly pulled up and moved towards the lake.
As Ye Tian and the others left, the area at the bottom of the lake where the treasure ship was located was once again plunged into darkness.
But before long, the bottom of the lake will become very lively.
The amazing treasures hidden in this sunken ship will be fully salvaged and then divided between Ye Tian and the Ethiopian government.
Seven or eight minutes later, Ye Tian and the others had risen about thirty meters and reached a depth of about sixty meters.
Ye Tian looked at the depth gauge and then said through the intercom:
"Pause floating and make the first decompression stop here for ten minutes. Continue floating after ten minutes"
When the order came out, the iron cage immediately stopped floating.
For the next ten minutes, Ye Tian and the others stayed in the depths of the lake that was completely shrouded in darkness, waiting quietly.
Of course, they haven't been idle either.
Taking this time, they each replaced a new oxygen bottle to ensure safety.
Although it was dark here, the iron cage they were in was like a lonely beacon hanging in the darkness, extremely conspicuous.
Many lake creatures living at this depth quickly adapted to the existence of this bright light after the initial panic.
In a short time, the iron cage was surrounded by all kinds of curious lake creatures.
The creatures in these lakes are mainly crustaceans, such as shrimps and crabs.
And African crabs and shrimps are generally larger.
This is because Africans do not like to eat these things and do not know how to cook them. They prefer to eat fish.
Because the locals look down on them, these guys can grow freely and are relatively large.
In Ye Tian's eyes, these are all delicacies.
Unfortunately, he is currently being visited and has no chance to capture these guys.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the iron cage began to float again.
As the iron cage gets closer and closer to the lake, the surroundings gradually become brighter, and there are more and more creatures in the lake.
The beautiful fish that disappeared before swam back again, swimming fast around the iron cage.
When Ye Tian and the others floated up to a depth of only thirty meters from the lake surface, they were suspended in the lake water again and made their second deep dive decompression stop, which still lasted ten minutes.
During this process, Ye Tian and the others have been constantly adjusting the air in the buoyancy bag to ensure the balance between buoyancy, water pressure and depth.
This is a very delicate job, and it is simply impossible to do without extensive deep diving experience.
Watching this scene through the video, Mustafa and other Ethiopians knew it very well.
If it wants to salvage this shocking treasure hidden deep in the lake bottom, the Ethiopian government is absolutely inseparable from Intrepid Exploration Company and must borrow their sophisticated exploration equipment and top talents.
If you want to leave Intrepid Exploration Company and go it alone, you will only be self-defeating.
In fact, with Ethiopia’s background and capabilities, it is impossible to get rid of Ye Tian and the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company.
After realizing this, Mustafa and the others immediately gave up all their inappropriate thoughts.
Just when Ye Tian and the others were making a decompression stop, the Nile crocodiles that had left before also spotted them resurfacing and immediately swam over here.
As before, these guys behaved very docilely, not like the vicious lake overlords at all.
When these guys came closer, Ye Tian immediately interacted with them like old friends.
Looking at this scene, the boats on the lake once again heard exclamations of exclamation.
"Oh my God! This guy Steven is so amazing. How did he do it? It's incredible that he can tame these ferocious and cold-blooded Nile crocodiles!"
"There is no doubt that this guy Steven is the overlord of Lake Tana. He is simply invincible in the lake. As long as he wants to, no one can enter this lake!"
While everyone was amazed, Ye Tian was playing with those docile Nile crocodiles, and the scene was very harmonious.
The ten minutes of the second decompression stop passed quickly, and the iron cage began to float at a steady speed again, approaching the lake surface little by little.
The Nile crocodiles surrounding the iron cage also floated up together.
And the closer they get to the lake, the more excited they become, because the surrounding water pressure is getting smaller and smaller, and they can move more freely.
A few minutes later, two large orange-red buoyancy bags surfaced first and appeared on the lake.
Immediately afterwards, the unusually heavy iron cage floated to the surface of the lake and appeared in everyone's sight again.
Ye Tian and the others stood in the iron cage, waving to everyone.
As soon as they appeared, there was cheers and applause on the lake.
Mustafa and David had come out of the cabin and came to the deck. They looked at Ye Tian and others standing in the iron cage and gave them warm applause.
Subsequently, the iron cage was pulled to the stern deck.
But Ye Tian and the others did not leave the iron cage immediately and board the engineering ship.
Ye Tian first comforted the Nile crocodiles and asked them to leave here, but he played elsewhere.
Those scary big guys seemed to understand what he meant, and reluctantly left here and swam elsewhere.
After the Nile crocodiles left, Ye Tian and the others opened the gate above the iron cage, got out, and boarded the engineering ship.
As they came up the stairs, they came to the main deck above.
Mustafa and David immediately gathered around, everyone was excited.
"Welcome back, Steven, you did such a great job, it was breathtaking!"
"Wow! Steven, this sunken treasure hidden deep in the lake is so amazing. Its discovery will definitely shock the whole world!"
Ye Tian took off his diving mask, looked at these guys who were so excited that their eyes were shining, and then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, we have fulfilled our mission and finally found this amazing treasure hidden deep in the lake by the Italians during World War II. This is really a huge surprise.
Next, we can organize manpower to salvage this sunken treasure. Compared with exploring this treasure, salvaging and cleaning up this treasure will be much easier."
Everyone at the scene nodded, and everyone was full of expectations.
Next, Ye Tian and the others took off the oxygen bottles behind them and took off their diving suits.
At the same time, the iron cage had been lifted from the lake by a crane and placed on the deck of the engineering ship.
The moment the iron cage landed on the deck of the engineering ship, everyone immediately surrounded it.
Without exception, everyone was staring at the crate in the iron cage with extremely hot eyes.
After changing his clothes, Ye Tian also came to the iron cage.
He asked his security personnel to open the iron cage and take out the crate from the World War II era.
Then he pried open the crate himself and introduced:
"The gold products contained in this box all come from the Solomon dynasty that once ruled Ethiopia. They are part of the royal treasures of the Solomon dynasty. Each piece is very exquisite and valuable!"
As he said that, the crate was opened.
Following this action, the scene immediately flashed with a golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
Everyone adjusted to the change in light for a while, and then looked at the gold products packed in the crates.
The next moment, there was a sound of exclamation on the main deck, one after another.
"Wow! They are so beautiful, it's so mesmerizing to look at!"
"This is simply a work of art, but it is different from the gold products from European and Asian countries. It is unique. Each of them is worth collecting!"
Amidst the exclamations, Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist were so excited that they were ready to step forward and touch these valuable gold artifacts.
However, they were stopped by security personnel standing aside.
Ye Tian gently shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's not time yet, Mustafa, after we enter the cabin, register all these valuable gold products, and take images, it won't be too late for you to enjoy them again!"
Hearing this, Mustafa and the others could only nod.
Next, Ye Tian asked two of his employees to lift the crate and carry it into the cabin of the engineering ship.
Everyone also followed into the cabin, and everyone was very excited.
After entering the cabin, several employees of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company immediately began to count these gold products, register them in a book, and shoot video materials.
Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist stood aside to supervise, their eyes shining brightly.
The National Geographic Channel's broadcast team has its cameras always focused on these golden antiques.
During this process, Ye Tian was also introducing everyone.
“Through the patterns and patterns engraved on these gold products, especially the gold lion emblem, we can determine the origin of these gold products. They all came from the Solomon Dynasty.
According to my appraisal, these gold products should have been made four to five hundred years ago, that is to say, they were made during the rule of the Abyssinian Empire..."
After a while, the inventory work was completed.
Afterwards, Mustafa and David swarmed up, picked up these ancient gold products, and began to admire them. Everyone was fascinated.
Especially the archaeologists, their eyes were as bright as searchlights.
Soon, they were sure.
These gold products were indeed made during the Abyssinian Empire four to five hundred years ago, as Ye Tian said. Each of them is an antique cultural relic worth collecting.
The Amharic words engraved on these gold products are the names of several emperors during the Abyssinian Empire. The evidence is conclusive.
After confirming this, several archaeologists were amazed.
They also had a new understanding of Ye Tian's sharp vision and his excellent ability to identify antiques, cultural relics and works of art.
After admiring it for about ten or twenty minutes, Mustafa and the others reluctantly put down these gold products.
Later, Ye Tian asked his men to bring over a portable safe, put all the gold products into the safe, and then locked it in the captain's cabin.
The little white elf is in the captain's cabin, responsible for guarding the sheepskin scroll and the safe filled with gold products. They are very safe.
Next, Ye Tian took a satellite phone, handed it to Mustafa, and said with a smile:
"Mustafa, you can now inform Mr. President that we have found this amazing treasure that was hidden by the Italians during World War II!
I am sure that Mr. President will be very happy after hearing this good news. This is a huge surprise for both your country and our company! ”
Mustafa took the satellite phone, but did not leave the cabin immediately to make a call outside.
He looked at Ye Tian and said seriously:
"Steven, I would like to ask, can I tell Mr. President our current coordinates, which is where this treasure is buried? We can also strengthen the protection of this water area and protect this treasure."
Ye Tian shook his head.
“I think it’s best not to reveal the coordinates of this treasure for the time being. Most of today’s time has passed. We have to start the next step of salvage and cleanup operations, and there is still a lot of preparation work to be done.
In the remaining half of the day, we will prepare for the subsequent treasure salvage and cleanup operations. After dawn tomorrow, the salvage and cleanup operations for this treasure can be officially launched.
At that time, it seems more appropriate and safer for you to tell Mr. President the coordinates here. Even if the secret is leaked, we don’t have to worry about someone coming over to salvage it secretly at night! ”
Mustafa suddenly fell silent, as did the other Ethiopian archaeologist.
After thinking for a moment, Mustafa nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, let me first report the good news that the joint exploration team has found this treasure. I will briefly introduce the scale and value of this treasure, but will not reveal the specific coordinates.
When the cleaning and salvage operation of this treasure begins tomorrow morning, I will tell Mr. President the specific coordinates of this treasure and strengthen the protection of this water area! ”
"Okay, this couldn't be better"
Ye Tian nodded and said.
Afterwards, Mustafa and the Ethiopian archaeologist left the cabin and went outside to make a phone call.
When they left, David immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Steven, why do you have to wait until tomorrow to tell the Ethiopian government the coordinates of this shocking treasure? Are you not just for safety reasons?"
Ye Tian looked at this guy, smiled and whispered:
“I just had a deep dive today and cannot take a plane. Wait until tomorrow, and I will be able to leave here by seaplane. I plan to leave the subsequent treasure cleaning and salvage operations to my subordinates.
This shocking treasure has been found, and there is no need for me to stay here any longer. Another point is that my departure will make the Ethiopian government wary and not dare to play any tricks!
Tomorrow you leave with me, and we go back to Gondar to meet Joshua and the others. Next, we should go to the religious holy city of Axum. I have a feeling that we will make great discoveries in Axum! ”
"Hahaha"
David chuckled softly, and then continued:
"I guess that's it, and sure enough, you are so cunning!"
