Chapter 1250: Shaking the World

Three days passed quickly, and a press conference was held in the lecture hall of Columbia University's School of History, which was specially convened for Professor Douglas and asked them to publicize the results of their research on the Mayan civilization.

Approaching ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian took Jason and Mattis and strode into the lecture hall of Columbia University and walked straight to the rostrum in front of him.

At this time, the lecture hall was already crowded with media, and all the major media in the United States and New York who received the invitation sent reporters to cover and report on the press conference.

The lecture hall was filled with cameras and camcorders, all facing the rostrum in front of them, waiting for the protagonist of the press conference to appear.

In addition to many media reporters, in the corner of the lecture hall, there are dozens of invited experts and scholars, basically well-known historians and text experts, many of whom are authorities on the study of Mayan civilization.

Among them, there are many experts and scholars from Columbia University's School of History, as well as scholars and professors from Harvard, Yale, and other famous universities, each of whom is famous!

Due to confidentiality reasons, many media reporters, experts and scholars in this lecture hall did not know the theme of this press conference, and everyone was a little puzzled and their eyes were full of curiosity.

But everyone agrees that this press conference must be related to academic research, and it is likely that there will be very important academic research results to be announced.

Just when people were talking and secretly speculating, they suddenly saw Ye Tian and the others striding into the lecture hall and walking straight to the rostrum, looking like the protagonists.

This situation made everyone in the lecture hall fall into a temporary stupor, and they almost couldn't believe their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the lecture hall exploded, and there were strange discussions.

"I'm going! How did that guy Steven end up here? What's going on with him at this press conference? When did he get involved with the academic world?"

"Judging by his high-spirited appearance, this press conference must have something to do with him, Steven is too amazing to be reasonable, and it is not surprising that anything happened to him!"

Immediately after the initial surprise, some media reporters began to ask questions loudly.

"Steven, I'm a reporter for CBS, why are you here, and are you related to the academic research that is going to be announced at this press conference?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the reporter who asked the question, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Good morning, Mr. Reporter, other media journalist friends, as well as many experts and scholars, I'm Steven, and I'm glad to see you all here.

I am present in this lecture hall because the results of the academic research, which will be published later, are based on an antique work of art that I own.

As for my antique artwork, how much is it worth, let me sell it first, it shouldn't be long before these answers are officially announced!

Although I can't go beyond the box to announce the answer, I'm pretty sure that you are here today, and it will be a press conference that will shake the world!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian turned his head and continued to stride forward, walking past the many media reporters and walking towards the rostrum in front of him.

Hearing his words, the scene in the lecture hall suddenly became more lively, and exclamations and discussions came one after another, endlessly.

"The press conference that shook the world? Is it really fake? Is it a bit exaggerated? Why don't I believe it? Could it be that there is some sensational and major discovery?"

"I believe it's true, although Steven is extremely flamboyant, he is not a guy who runs trains with a mouth, let's wait and see, today's headlines in the city may come from here!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already stepped onto the rostrum, shook hands with Professor Douglas, who was presiding over today's press conference, and then stood aside and chatted in a low voice.

As for Jason and Mattis, they stood on the side of the rostrum, acting as both the audience and the security of Ye Tian and the lecture hall.

After a few words, at about ten o'clock, Professor Delgado and several other historians and writing experts came out of the adjacent lounge in a row and walked up to the podium.

At this time, everyone was dressed in suits and leather shoes, with neat faces and high spirits, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces, as if they were more than ten years younger!

Seeing these people, the scene in the lecture hall suddenly became more lively, and many media reporters had vaguely guessed the theme of this press conference.

"I know the Hispanic scholar who started with him, a historian from the University of Costa Rica, Professor Delgado, who had followed Steven and them to explore the treasures of Lima."

"This press conference is obviously related to the treasure of Lima, if it is expected, it should be related to the mysterious six-pointed star golden scepter head, I wonder what secret that treasure is hiding?

In the midst of the discussion, Ye Tian shook hands with several experts and scholars who walked onto the rostrum one by one, greeted each other, and then everyone found their seats and sat down.

Sitting in the middle of the long conference table on the rostrum were Ye Tian and Professor Delgado, and the rest of the experts and scholars were on both sides!

The other protagonist, Professor Douglas, stood in front of the stage with a microphone in his hand, and took on the task of hosting the press conference and giving the explanation.

While Ye Tian and the others were seated on the rostrum, several of Professor Douglas's students were also quickly seated, ready to assist their teachers in showing their demeanor.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Professor Douglas immediately turned on the microphone and started the press conference, somewhat impatient!

This was the highlight of his life, and of course he was very excited, and he hated to immediately announce his research results to the world, and shock the entire historiography and the whole world.

The rest of the experts and scholars were the same, everyone was extremely excited, and their eyes were shining.

Many media reporters in the lecture hall, as well as those curious experts and scholars, all fell silent.

Professor Douglas was the only voice in the entire lecture hall that echoed, and his voice even trembled a little in the excitement.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Columbia University, to this lecture hall in the School of History, to this press conference, and it's a pleasure to see you all here.

I'm Douglas, a professor at Columbia University's School of History, majoring in Latin American historiography, and I'm going to host this press conference and I'm going to be in charge of presenting the results of this academic research,......"

Next, Professor Douglas enthusiastically introduced Ye Tian and several other historians and writing experts.

In the process, his mood gradually stabilized, and the host became more calm.

After introducing everyone, Professor Douglas immediately moved on to today's topic, and his tone unconsciously became more excited.

"As you all know, some time ago, under the leadership of Steven's Intrepid Explorer, we at Columbia University's School of History and the Costa Rican government conducted a tripartite joint exploration operation.

The goal of that joint exploration operation was the famous pirate treasure buried on Cocos Island, the treasure of Lima, and the joint exploration operation was very successful, and we were able to find and recover that famous pirate treasure."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded slightly.

As expected, this press conference is really related to the treasure of Lima, I don't know what kind of major discovery it will be, it is worth such a solemn matter!

Professor Douglas's voice still echoed in the lecture hall, still full of passion and incomparably clear.

"During that tripartite expedition, we found not only a large number of gold and silver treasures, jewels and diamonds, but also many valuable antique works of art.

We also discovered a six-pointed golden scepter head, a symbol of the Mayan Empire's royal power, which was a very significant discovery and should be the most valuable treasure in Lima's treasure in terms of academic significance!

We hadn't publicly displayed the hexagram golden scepter head, nor had we revealed any photos of it, and no one had seen it except for the members of the joint exploration mission.

Until today, the treasure had been kept in absolute secrecy, and Steven and we did so because the six-pointed golden scepter head hid a great secret enough to shake the whole world.

The six-pointed gold scepter is engraved with a large number of ornaments and motifs, including sacrifices, hunting, warfare, and the daily life of the Mayans.

There is no doubt that it is a very important Mayan artifact, and it is of great research value! More important than the expressive motifs is the text engraved on the head of the six-pointed gold scepter.

On the head of the six-pointed gold scepter, we find twelve Mayan hieroglyphs, four of which are Mayan hieroglyphs that have been discovered and successfully deciphered before.

The other eight Mayan hieroglyphs are completely new and have never been seen before and have never been interpreted by anyone, which can be said to be a very significant discovery and significant!"

"What? brand new Mayan hieroglyphs, and there are eight of them, did I hear you right?

"Oh my God, if that's true, then Douglas and his gang are too lucky!"

In the midst of an exclamation, those experts and scholars from Harvard and other major universities jumped up directly from their seats, and everyone had a shocked and stunned expression.

Many media reporters at the scene were also completely shocked by what they had just heard, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement and almost cheered.

Eight new Mayan hieroglyphs! It's the right time, and it's going to be the headline in New York City today, unless something major happens!

Professor Douglas scanned the room triumphantly, and continued:

"We've been working on the eight new Mayan hieroglyphs for some time, and with everyone's hard work, we've finally been able to decipher the new Mayan hieroglyphs.

Here, on behalf of all the experts and scholars involved in the study of these hieroglyphs, I can say with great certainty and great pride that we have successfully opened a new chapter in the study of the Mayan civilization!

This is a very significant new discovery that will go down in history, and it is an honor and a pride to be part of this research and to be able to successfully decipher those Mayan hieroglyphs.

Later, I will show those new Mayan hieroglyphs one by one and explain in detail what they represent, so that these characters will shine again after hundreds of thousands of years.

During the study of the six-pointed golden scepter head and these inscriptions, we found that this six-pointed golden scepter head and the Mayan hieroglyphs are related to the legend of the Golden City that was widely circulated in Central and South America.

As we successfully decipher the hieroglyphs, we have also determined the approximate extent of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, and it is safe to say that the Golden City is not an ethereal legend, it does exist!"

Before the words fell, the entire lecture hall was completely fried!

Everyone in this lecture hall suddenly jumped up from their seats like an electric shock, and everyone began to hold their heads and exclaim, almost crazy!

"Oh my God, did I hear me right? They discovered the legendary Golden City of the Mayan Empire, which was so shocking that it was like a myth!"

"The hexagram golden scepter head belongs to that Steven's, does that mean that the legendary Golden City of the Mayan Empire will also fall into that guy's hands? God, you're too partial to that bastard!"
