Chapter 157: I'll go, this kid won't say that Lao Ma's thinking is too narrow, right?

As early as 2001, two ancient city ruins suspected to be 9,500 years ago were found 40 kilometers off the coast of Gujarat in western India.

But then I didn't see any more reports about it in the media.

Mulayam was obviously not going to excavate these two suspected ruins that had already been found, because there was no treasure in them.

According to Mulayam, last spring, a group of foreign scientists discovered the remains of an ancient city in India's waterfront, and at that time, because of the rocks and serious erosion within the ancient city, whether it was a site that was transformed by humans caused debate.

Time can change everything, and it can disguise everything,

This sentence is best interpreted in the deep sea,

This kind of exploratory scientific research activities have been authorized in advance by the Indian government, and as for the controversy, in addition to the academic community, more people just use these things as after-dinner conversations.

But inadvertently, things have changed in nature.

The scientists found an identity tag.

I don't know if these guys who are engaged in scientific research are lucky, or if they are unlucky.

After thousands of years of erosion on the seabed, this clay-fired identity tag was not damaged, but was found by divers within the pitiful search range, and immediately became evidence of the existence of the ancient city ruins.

And then the scientists were expelled by the Indian government.

As for why this was done, the official in charge of the matter was unclear.

If it's just an ancient city ruins, there is nothing to hide, and being discovered can better understand the history of your own country, which is not a big deal.

The reason why I say this is entirely because of the particularity of the submarine site,

If it is on land, whoever dares to excavate ancient ruins without permission will be considered a crime, because there will be a large number of cultural relics and even valuable treasures.

But not at the bottom of the sea, thousands of years of seawater erosion and erosion have long turned everything valuable into ordinary submarine rocks.

The reason why so many ancient underwater cities have to go through a quarrel when they are discovered is precisely because it is difficult for you to prove that this rock was once a city, not a natural natural rock landscape.

So, most of the time, this underwater archaeology, a little more pure,

It was this site that Mulayam was searching for, an ancient underwater city that was said to have been underwater for at least 3,000 years.

After listening to Mulayam's introduction, I looked at the old horse with a confused face, not that I didn't understand, but I didn't know what Mulayam was going to do.

Even though this ancient city has been beautiful and prosperous in history, the geological changes are not overnight, and the inhabitants of the city will move away from the city when they find that the city is slowly sliding towards the deep sea, leaving nothing of value behind.

To put it mildly, even if there are valuable things, they are all washed away and cannot be found, even if one or two pieces are left, it is not enough to detect the waste of oil money on salvage ships.

Three thousand years, you think it's a cultivator, your eyes are closed and you pass,

Even the stone walls of the entire city and the stone buildings in the city can't tell if they have been processed by humans, and you still want to find some treasures.

This kid can't be a fanatical nationalist, exploring ancient cities just to prove that India was capable of building stone cities 3,000 years ago.

Lao Ma also understands this truth, he and I looked at each other helplessly, obviously he just understood what was going on,

To put it mildly, if you want to make a fortune, it is 110,000 times more cost-effective to dig through ancient books and find a shipwreck full of antiques to salvage than to explore the ancient city.

After all, salvaging shipwrecks may make money or lose money, but you can explore the ancient city under the sea, and you can lose money accurately.

Of course, in the academic field, these two salvage projects are equally important.

Mulayam should be a guy who is used to being the central character, he didn't notice that the room was a little cold, but continued to tell the progress of the exploration of the ancient city,

Ma Xinghua had no choice but to interrupt Mulayam's narration, because I had already started to look at my watch.

If you really find a shipwreck, there are countless treasures on it, the depth of the sea is too deep, and the technology can't reach it, I can help you, let's share the spoils together, but if you are a pure scientific research project, there is no oil and water at all, buddy has to say sorry,

If the domestic excavation project encounters a problem and finds me through Ma Xinghua, then I am duty-bound, after all, it is my motherland, but you have an Indian site, and it is not realistic to expect me to contribute to you.

And I know very well the urine nature of these private researchers, and if I let Mulayam continue, maybe this kid should tell me that we live in the same global village, and helping him is helping all mankind.

From this point of view, he is not as good as Yu Hailan, the fish beauty stands in the position of all mankind and sings a high profile just to buy things from me, and is willing to spend a lot of money, but if this Murayam says this kind of thing, there is only one possibility, he wants to pay less or not pay at all,

Ma Xinghua very tactfully said the idea of excavating the ancient city under the sea without making a profit, and Mulayam's face was full of shock,

I'll go, this kid won't say that Lao Ma's thinking is too narrow-minded, right?

Immediately afterwards, Mulayam said something that made my heart flutter about this ancient city exploration project,

"Oh, Uncle Ma, you misunderstood me, I'm not that noble, although I also want to do something for my country in terms of historical research, but my ability is limited, I can only wave the flag to other selfless people,

I explore the ancient city for the treasure, of course, for the treasure,

I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear at first, this ancient city is very famous, it is famous in history, it sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant, although I don't know the reason, and I haven't found any traces of an earthquake in the ruins of the ancient city, but that's what the history books say,

This ancient city is called Moyero, and it is very large, which is consistent with the data of our preliminary exploration of the seabed.

The most important point is that the ruler of Moyero is a notoriously brutal and wealthy bastard, and the history books say that he hid all the looted treasures in a vault carved out of the underground boulders.

And my goal is to find that secret room,"

As he spoke, Murayam took two so-called history books from the secretary beside him, and gave one to Lao Ma and me respectively.

Well, I don't know English, I'm uneducated, but this history book is not normal.

It's more like a book of poems, uh, look at the picture on the cover, or the kind of long poem that tells the legend of gods and monsters,

This kind of long poems are very popular in Tibetan areas of China, and in ancient times, these long poems were relied on to leave names for heroes.

Mulayam continued to speak quickly and excitedly, and of course, following his instructions, I turned the book to the page where he had spoken, looked at the illustrations, and could only raise my head to listen to him.

Someone used to say that many people in India regard mythology as history, but I don't believe it, but now I believe it.

The long poem that Mulayam spoke about a cruel and wealthy city lord who was condemned by the gods for believing in evil gods, and the city he ruled was flooded by the sea overnight, and not a single resident of the city escaped.

Of course, there are large passages in the long poem to describe the spectacular scene of the collapse of the sky, and these Mulayam have mentioned it in one sentence, and he focuses on the evil god that the city lord believes in, the three-headed giant python,

According to the long poem, to what extent is the city lord obsessed with the three-headed python, he not only carved the buildings in the city with reliefs of the three-headed python, but also painted the three-headed python pattern on the clothing of the residents of the city, of course, these things must not be verified now, because all of them slowly disappeared in the sea,

In the end, the lord of the city also designed the identity plate of the inhabitants of the city in the image of a three-headed python, which finally attracted the wrath of the gods.

This book of poems is illustrated with simple lines depicting the cult of the three-headed python throughout the city.

Speaking of this, Mulayam took out a small disc that was missing one-fifth, made of clay, and outlined the majestic image of the three-headed python choosing people to devour.

"This is the identity tag that the British found underwater last year, and we have reason to believe that this ancient city under the sea is the legendary Moyero, the evil and rich city built by pure boulders,"
