About an hour later.
Four Israeli exploration team members wearing full protective equipment descended from the cliff on the west side of the castle and entered the secret cave entrance.
After entering the cave, these guys cautiously began to explore step by step.
Using the surveillance cameras they wore and two small drones leading the way, Ye Tian directed the exploration operation from the ground through surveillance videos.
“Guys, there is a crack on the ground three meters ahead. The crack is not wide, but you still have to be careful not to step into the crack, and be careful whether there are poisonous snakes hidden inside!”
Ye Tian said through the intercom.
At this time, he was holding an iPad in his hand, and what was displayed on it was the real-time exploration screen.
What appeared on the video screen was a dark and humid cave and several powerful searchlights.
The cave is rugged, with jagged rocks and twists and turns. The walls and roof of the cave on both sides are covered with moss and are very slippery.
The situation on the ground is the same. From time to time, some green snakeskin will appear, which makes people’s scalp numb just by looking at it.
The four Israeli exploration team members who entered the cave to explore lined up in a row and moved forward cautiously under the leadership of a small drone in front.
For safety reasons, each of them has a safety rope tied to their body.
These safety ropes lead to the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the cliff. They are tied to the trunks of several big trees. They are very strong and there are several security team members watching at the scene.
In addition, the four exploration team members are also tied to each other with a safety rope and are closely connected.
In this way, even if someone loses his footing, he will not fall into the cracks in the cave or into some covered caves. The person who loses his footing will be instantly caught by the other three people.
“Copy that, Steven, we see that crack”
The leading Israeli exploration team member responded.
As he spoke, he used his hiking pole to fly away a piece of green snake skin in front of him.
Along the way, they have picked off countless green snake skins.
Fortunately, they have not encountered a living Night Devil snake so far, so it is considered a near miss.
As for the eggs of the Night Demon Snake, they found a lot of them, but they were not a threat.
The Aksum city officials who were also looking at the real-time exploration screen turned pale when they saw the eggs of the Night Demon snakes.
He has already reported the situation here.
When this joint exploration operation is over, Axum is likely to immediately seal off the mountain and then completely burn this terrifying snake cave to avoid future troubles.
While talking, the Israeli exploration team members had arrived at the gap in the cave and lowered their heads to check the condition of the gap.
The gap was about 15 centimeters wide and just over a meter long. It was dark inside, and no one knew what was hidden.
The gap is not wide enough for a person to fall through, but it is wide enough to trap a person’s feet and legs, making them unable to move.
In such a dangerous cave, if those who come in to explore are stuck here without anyone to rescue them, it will be over!
If there are several night devil snakes hidden in this gap, the person who is stuck will die.
Several Israeli exploration team members checked the situation of this gap, then carefully went around it and continued to move forward.
Not far ahead, there is a corner, followed by a long uphill climb.
The key thing is that the ground in this section of the cave is slippery, making it difficult for people to stand firm when walking up.
Fortunately, there are many raised stalagmites here that can be used for strength. Coupled with the ropes they carry with them, it is not difficult to conquer this section of the cave.
Several Israeli exploration team members stopped to rest here for a while to recover their strength.
At the same time, Ye Tian was also introducing techniques for passing through this cave.
“Guys, use the rope to wrap around the stalagmite that protrudes from the ground three meters above the ground. Then grab the rope and go up to the stalagmite and stand there.”
“Copy that, Steven, we know what to do”
The expedition member who led the team responded.
After a short rest, the team leader took off a safety rope from his waist and quickly made a noose.
Then he took aim and threw the noose towards the raised stalagmite.
Without any bias, the noose was put right on the stalagmite and hung firmly.
The team leader immediately tightened the noose and tested its strength. It was still very secure.
After confirming that there was no problem, the team leader pulled the safety rope and walked up first.
During the ascent, his feet kept slipping, but with the help of the safety rope, he quickly reached the stalagmite three meters above.
After arriving there, he used another stalagmite next to him to stabilize his body.
Next, the other three exploration team members also came up one after another and came to this location.
When they gathered together, Ye Tian’s next instructions came through the walkie-talkie.
“Guys, there is a stalagmite protruding from the ground about two and a half meters above and to the right of you. You continue to move forward according to the method just now, and the small drone will guide the target”
Before he finished speaking, a small drone flew over and hovered not far above and to the right of several exploration team members.
Under the small drone is a stalagmite protruding from the ground.
After specifying the target, the small drone flew upwards.
Immediately afterwards, the Israeli exploration team member who led the team took off the noose, aimed at the target, and then threw the noose in his hand!
……
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
After an arduous trek, the four-person Israeli exploration team finally arrived at the location of the treasure without any danger.
The so-called treasure location is the cave at the feet of Ye Tian and the others. The metal objects discovered before are hidden here.
At this point, everyone in the Israeli exploration team was in a panic, but there were no accidents.
After entering this section of the cave, they saw the metal objects at a glance.
Then, a few of them carefully stepped forward and began to clean up.
They first observed the situation at the scene and after making sure it was safe, they picked off the green snakeskins covering the metal objects and threw them aside.
Then they began to clean the dust and moss from the metal objects.
The first target to clean up is the seven-branched candlestick placed on the outermost edge of the platform.
As the dust and moss on the seven-branch candlestick was gently wiped away, a golden light immediately flashed in the cave, which was extremely dazzling.
The same is true on the real-time live broadcast screen, with bright golden light.
Both the exploration team members in the cave and others on the ground were shocked by the scene before them.
“Oh my God! This is a seven-branched golden candlestick. It is so dazzling! Is this the seven-branched golden candlestick in Solomon’s treasure?”
“Wow! If this seven-branched golden candlestick really comes from Jerusalem, then there is no doubt that these metal objects are part of Solomon’s treasure!”
The people on the ground who looked at the real-time exploration screen all exclaimed.
The four Israeli exploration team members who were cleaning the seven-branched golden candlestick underground had their eyes shining with excitement and their bodies were trembling slightly.
As Israelis, they know very well what the seven-branched golden menorah means.
That is a symbol of Israel and one of the symbols of the Jews!
Among all the seven-branched candlesticks, the most precious one is the seven-branched golden candlestick that was once enshrined in Solomon’s Temple. It is one of the holy objects in the hearts of the Israelites.
Just when everyone was exclaiming, Anthony suddenly said in surprise:
“Stephen, haven’t we already found the seven-branched golden candlestick that was once enshrined in Solomon’s Temple in Portugal? It’s hidden in the Knights Templar’s treasures.
What’s going on with this seven-branched golden candlestick deep underground? Could it be that there were two identical seven-branched golden candlesticks in Solomon’s Temple, and one ended up here? ”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
No one remembered it until this moment.
The legendary seven-branched golden candlestick once enshrined in Solomon’s Temple had long been found by the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company and sold to the Israelis for a huge profit.
After appraisal by many top antiquities appraisal experts and numerous historians and archaeologists, there is nothing wrong with that sacred object and it did come from Solomon’s Temple.
In that case, what happened to the seven-branched golden candlestick hidden in this underground cave? Is it a fake?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled softly and then said:
“Guys, I didn’t know there was a seven-branched golden candlestick hidden here. Anthony may be right. There may be two seven-branched golden candlesticks in Solomon’s Temple, and one of them ended up here.
Of course, there is such a possibility! This seven-branched gold candlestick is an imitation of the seven-branched gold candlestick we found in Tomar, Portugal, but it was copied very early.
They were most likely made at the same time. One is enshrined in Solomon’s Temple all year round, and the other is stored in the warehouse as a backup. Another possibility is that it is a seven-branch gilt bronze. Candelabra”
After hearing his explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.
After a pause, the Israeli archaeologist continued:
“If it can be proven that this seven-branched gold candlestick came from Solomon’s Temple, no matter whether it is a spare candlestick, whether it is made of pure gold, or whether it is an imitation, it will not prevent it from being a priceless treasure!”
“Indeed, if it really came from Solomon’s Temple, it would be a priceless treasure!”
Ye Tian nodded in approval.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“Guys, please weigh the weight of this seven-branched gold candlestick. Through its weight, you can easily determine whether it is made of pure gold or a gilt copper candlestick, but be careful!”
“Okay, Steven, we’ll be careful!”
The leader of the exploration team responded.
After saying that, he stepped forward and, protected by the other two exploration team members, carefully picked up the seven-branched golden candlestick to feel its weight.
As soon as he picked up this golden candlestick with seven branches, the guy let out a surprised sound.
Then he carefully put down the seven-branched candlestick and said through the intercom:
“Steven, this seven-branch candlestick is not very heavy. It doesn’t feel like it is made of gold. It looks like a bronze candlestick. It seems that you are right. It is a gilt copper candlestick. Golden Candlestick”
“It turns out that it is not a seven-branched golden candlestick, but what is certain is that it is also a top-grade antique cultural relic, priceless, and it can even be said to be a religious holy object!”
Ye Tian responded, not disappointed at all.
Others are not the same and are somewhat disappointed.
Next, the Israeli exploration team continued to clean up other metal objects.
Their second target was the small statue covered with a thick layer of dust and moss.
As before, they wiped away the dust and moss covering the small statue with towels.
What appeared next was a rusty bronze sculpture. The entire statue was dull, covered with patina, and looked about to collapse.
This bronze sculpture depicts a shirtless, skinny old man.
He knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked up at the sky, his expression was sad and solemn, as if he was praying devoutly.
Although this bronze statue is rusty and the carving technique is crude, it gives people a shocking feeling and is very powerful.
The moment he saw this bronze statue on the real-time exploration screen, Ye Tian couldn’t help being stunned.
The two archaeologists standing next to him, as well as an expert in identifying antiques and cultural relics from Israel, were also stunned.
After a while, Ye Tianfang woke up.
Then he pretended to be surprised and said:
“If I read correctly, the figure carved in this bronze statue should be the Jewish prophet Job, and this is probably the earliest statue of Job discovered so far”
Before he finished speaking, the Israeli archaeologist nodded excitedly and said:
“Yes, Steven, your judgment is very accurate. This is the bronze statue of the Jewish prophet Job. If this bronze statue really comes from Jerusalem before 900 BC, it comes from Solomon’s Temple.
There is no doubt that it is the oldest statue of Job discovered so far. It is definitely a priceless top antique artifact. At the same time, it is also a religious holy object belonging to all Israelis! ”
“What this bronze statue represents is the most classic image of Job. He is talking to God. This bronze statue is so rare and precious, but it is severely corroded!”
The Israeli antique cultural relic appraisal expert said excitedly.
While excited, this guy was also distressed.
In a short time, the Israeli exploration team cleared out the bronze statue of Job.
Then they started cleaning up several more metal items.
Without exception, those metal objects are all Jewish religious items and generally only appear in synagogues or temples.
There are two religious items among them, which are entirely made of gold and radiate bright golden light under the light.
On those religious items, the Star of David logo is engraved, which is very eye-catching.
There are only a few metal objects hidden in this underground cave.
However, each of these metal items is valuable and can be regarded as top antiques.
Their discovery and emergence will definitely cause a sensation and bring Ye Tian a huge fortune.
It took about half an hour for the Israeli exploration team to wipe off all the dust and moss on the antique artifacts and clean them out.
Next, it’s time to transport these priceless antiques and cultural relics to the ground!
For safety reasons, Ye Tian chose to transport the treasure through the entrance of the Snake Cave in the ruins of the castle, instead of from the cliff to the west of the castle!
The distance to the other side of the cliff is too far, and the terrain leading to the cave there is rugged and complex. If you are not careful, you may damage these priceless top-level antiques.
No one can bear such a result!
Transfer from the Snake Cave entrance on the ruins of the ancient castle. The distance is relatively short and the terrain is relatively flat.
The only trouble is that the environment here is too scary, more night devil snakes die here and more snake venom remains!
Fortunately, the Israeli exploration team’s protective measures were in place and adapted to the conditions in this underground cave!
Soon, the operation to transfer the treasure began.
