The press conference was held at the town office in the town, and Song Ting was accompanied by an old woman with gray hair.

"Hello Mr. Song, I'm a reporter from The New York Times, can I confirm that the temple is an Indian sacrificial temple?"

As the nation's largest newspaper industry, reporters from The New York Times were given the first opportunity to ask questions.

"After many researches, we have been able to preliminarily conclude that this temple has a history of more than 500 years. Of course, you may not agree with these professional things, after all, I am not a professional archaeologist. Song Ting smiled and said, "However, since the discovery of this temple, my colleagues immediately sent invitations to professors from several prestigious universities specializing in archaeology at Citi Nation Ivy League Schools, inviting archaeological experts to come and study it. So, now I would like to ask Lady Mary, an antiquities expert at the University of California, Berkeley, and a well-known expert on Native American culture, to tell you a little bit about the temple. ”

The audience immediately burst into warm applause, although these reporters are unscrupulous about the news, but they still have great respect for the real experts, especially the experts who can now answer their most important questions for them. The old woman sitting next to Song Ting was none other than the "primary school girl" who had studied together in Europe after Song Ting came to Citigroup......

Song Ting has extensive experience in dealing with antiquities and works of art.

Ms. Maria, who is currently a doctoral supervisor at the University of California, Berkeley, is the most authoritative expert on Indian history in all of the Citi Nation, and she is also a quarter of the Indian ancestry, making her a very authoritative expert. Many reporters knew her, and they were excited to see her there.

"God forbid, I did not expect that I would ever see with my own eyes such a magnificent, so intact, and built by two generations of Indians, that I dare to assert that it will be one of the largest archaeological complexes of Indian culture ever discovered in the history of our country!"

Thanks to the convenience given by Li Huan, Lady Maria was the second group of people to enter this sacrificial temple. The first group of people is, of course, Li Huan, and the second group of people are Song Ting and Maria. As for the experts from several other universities, they had only entered the temple this morning, so in this regard, Madame Maria had the greatest authority, and it was only natural that she should participate in this press conference.

"In other words, are you sure that this monument is real?" the reporter asked urgently.

"That's right, I dare to swear by my profession that this temple of Indian sacrifice discovered from the earthquake is indeed true. According to my research, the temple was probably built in the early 16th century. And in the eighteenth century, it was repaired by a group of people, that is to say, this ancient building is actually a fusion of the efforts of Indians of two eras. As she spoke, Lady Maria pressed the remote control in her hand, and the projector hanging next to her suddenly revealed some high-definition images.

"Look at this picture, this is one of the most important buildings in the temple. It is the pyramid that is shown in the photograph, "a miniature pyramid with a base of six meters and a height of eight meters, with obvious Aztec characteristics." The appearance of this pyramid also confirms a legend among the Indian tribes of Los Angeles, that is, in the early 16th century, an Indian tribe from the southeast of Mexico arrived near Los Angeles after a long journey, and merged with the local race......"

As soon as the glittering pyramid appeared, the gasps of the audience almost converged into a hurricane, and even obscured the explanation that Madame Maria had to explain - these people did not know that the eight-meter-high pyramid was made of gold and stone, and they all thought that the pyramid was made of pure gold just from the pictures. Anyone who can become a journalist is not a fool, their heads are very flexible, so with a little calculation, you can estimate the volume of this pyramid. If this pyramid is really made of gold, then the gold used in this pyramid alone is more than half of the gold in the Upper Knox Fort Gold Treasury!

This is definitely the last time in human history

One of the biggest treasures ever discovered.

In comparison, the treasures of Tutankhamun, the Pirates of the Caribbean, and even the treasures of the legendary last Tsar of Russia are far less than the value of this pyramid.

Some adrenaline-pumping reporters have even already figured out the title of the upcoming report - "The Los Angeles Earthquake Caused the Discovery of the Most Expensive Treasure in Human History", which is the theme, and the subtitle is even simpler, with this photo of the pyramid, and the previous paragraph, the eye-catching ability is definitely more than 12% - this golden pyramid is made of more than 1,800 tons of gold!

The flashing lights on the scene are like putting people in a thunderstorm and lightning storm, and those reporters can't wait to cut out this photo from the projector. Earthquakes, treasures, sacrificial temples, pyramids made of 1,800 tons of gold, once these words come together, it is a super heavyweight news that is enough to make the whole earth pay attention!

Some anxious online media reporters even can't wait to start typing on their laptops.

Of course, there were also some reporters who raised their hands high, and they couldn't wait to put their hands into the mouths of Song Ting and the others.

However, Song Ting did not pay attention to these reporters, but motioned to Madame Maria with his eyes to continue to press the remote control.

The next moment, the picture of the pyramid was gone, and a sun ornament made of pure gold appeared in the picture, and Lady Mary's voice sounded again, "This is another important item found in the temple. The North American Indians worshipped the sun, and this sun ornament appeared in this temple, and together with the pyramid above, it formed the most important sacrificial object in this temple. This is what I deduced, that the altar was actually renovated by two generations of Indians. Because this sun worship became popular in the 18th century, when Los Angeles was the cattle ranch of the Indians. ”

This sun ornament is also golden, although it is far less terrifying than the pyramid just now, but this golden sun ornament also caused all the reporters present to swallow and spit.

At this time, the picture changed again, and dozens of statues and totems emitting golden light appeared in the photo. Although some of the statues were submerged in the sea, and some of them were not completely detached from the barnacles, they did not stop the reflection of the golden light, and everyone could understand how terrifying those golden flashes were.

"This is another important set of sacrificial objects in the temple......" Lady Mary's voice sounded again without hurry, and the eyes of the reporters at the scene were about to widen.

These statues are not as horrific as the pyramid, but they are still shocking.

There was another ghost crying wolf howl at the scene.

A pyramid suspected to be made of gold is shocking enough, but what if you add these forty gold statues?

This is definitely a treasure that rivals the riches of the country!

By this time, it didn't matter whether the temple was a historical building or not, whether it was an Indian sacrificial temple or not, and the value represented by the pyramid and the forty gold statues had far exceeded the historical value.

No one can remain calm in the face of such a treasure, not even these battle-hardened journalists.

However, Song Ting and Madame Maria still ignored the reporters who were anxious to ask questions, and instead played aside some photos of the temple in a hurry, and Madame Maria also explained the photos.

Those reporters are in a hurry, and you can't help it if people ignore you, right?

Song Ting and Lady Maria's calm performance also made some extremely experienced old reporters feel that something was wrong, and they began to reflect on this matter in their hearts. Obviously, if this treasure is really rich and rivaled, then how could the person who discovered this treasure just directly announce this treasure to the public? Therefore, those reporters who calmed down and reflected immediately realized that the pyramids and gold statues that appeared in this sacrificial temple did not seem to be what they imagined.

Some experienced

The reporter began to slowly calm down, waiting for the two people sitting on the stage to be named.

Sure enough, when Madame Maria finished introducing these photos, Song Ting reached out and clicked on a reporter.

"Hello, may I ask Lady Mary or Mr. Song, are these things shown in the photo just now, including the pyramid and those golden statues, all made of pure gold?"

This question immediately silenced the frenzied atmosphere of the audience. Yes, no matter how impressive the things in the photos are, no one knows if they are made of gold or not. Lady Maria smiled and motioned for Song Ting to answer this question, and Song Ting nodded and said, "Actually, when I first discovered the pyramid and those statues, I was in the same mood as you, that is, I was in disbelief. ”

Song Ting made an exaggerated expression, "Can you imagine how fast your heart beats if you see a pyramid made of gold and dozens of gold statues with your own eyes?" Song Ting pointed to his chest, and then pointed at these reporters, "Just now you were about to go crazy just by seeing the photos, I think you can understand how I felt when I saw these things with my own eyes." ”

The reporters below were in an uproar again, although Song Ting did not announce the real results, but the tone was ......

"As much as I would love to have a treasure that rivals the riches of the country, that is obviously unlikely. When my partner and I entered the sacrificial temple and saw the pyramid and the gold statues, honestly, I thought I was going to be the richest man in the world! Damn, you probably can't imagine the excitement you felt when you learned that you were about to get a sum of more than 2,000 tons of gold. I'll admit that I was excited, but alas, I was just having a good time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar again, and a reporter even ignored the rules of the press conference and shouted: "Aren't the pyramids and statues made of gold?"

As soon as this question came out, the audience suddenly fell silent again.

Song Ting shook his head helplessly and said: "In the future, if anyone asks questions directly without naming him, I will disqualify him from participating in this press conference, and I will not take it as an example! But it seems that everyone wants to know this result, then I will not talk nonsense, I am afraid that if I continue to talk about it, you will beat me in a while." ”

The audience burst into laughter.

"Yes, this pyramid and the forty statues are not made of pure gold. To be precise, the Indians who built this sacrificial temple at that time played a big joke on us. The pyramid and the forty statues, all of them were made of stone, and the outside was only plated with a thin layer of gold......"

A loud sigh came together again.

Although many reporters had already guessed it, after this result was announced by Song Ting himself, these people couldn't help but sigh.

"You don't have to feel sorry, if these things were really made of pure gold, I'm afraid you wouldn't have gotten this news so quickly......

There was a small burst of laughter from the audience again.

"Mr. Lin is right, at first we archaeologists were also shocked by this pyramid and the forty gold statues, but unfortunately, these things are not made of pure gold. These are all stones, and the outside is only wrapped in a layer of gold about two millimeters thick, according to our research, this should be the Indians who melted the gold and poured it on it, and then the current situation will be formed. Madame Mary took over and confirmed the news once and for all.

Madame Maria's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on these reporters, and they remembered what the theme of today's press conference was. It was a press conference about a centuries-old temple of Indian sacrifice, not a priceless treasure.

The order of the scene soon returned to the original order.

No matter how valuable antiquities are, they are not as exciting as money......

But the next question is a bit more acute.
