Chapter 172: Shameless Deal
In fact, in the entire South American continent, the once glorious Mayan civilization has brought people countless reveries.
It is said that these people did not have metal tools, so how did they process the stones into the right size to build the pyramids?
A civilization that doesn't even have wheels, will have such a bullish astronomical mathematics for Mao?
What's the use of that?
It's hard to imagine a civilization that worships corn as a god and can use these things?
Is it to calculate how many corn seeds are earned each year?
These have nothing to do with the 'Divine Tomb' in front of Xing Jie and them that has begun to be excavated, but it is just Xing Jie's resentment in his heart. The carvings on the stone coffin are exquisite, and the master craftsmen of those days used those abstract, as if in the style of science fiction, to form a portrait of the Tyzka Lipoca mask.
Although the mask is very abstract and looks like a robotic head, it has to be said that all the details are vividly displayed. Not to mention anything else, even if Xing Jie's carving on the stone coffin is made out, it can be sold for a lot of money.
Unlike Xing Jie, although the upper echelons of the Pakistani army don't know what the meaning of this thing is, people who have seen a lot of good things will naturally have a high vision. Just like Pu Yi said when he helped a big man identify cultural relics, he didn't know why it was a fake, but he felt that it was different from what he had at home.
Therefore, no one cares about the meaning of the Pakistani army, they are just there to calculate how much money this thing can be sold at Sotheby's auction house.
Although Professor Erikson is the temporary leader of the current American team, unlike speculators like Xing Jie, he is still an archaeologist at heart. Seeing such a carving with a super artistic atmosphere, where can you still endure it?
Open the coffin!
The first and only thought in everyone's mind.
If the tomb here is replaced with the original huge pyramid below, if a stone coffin is found, even if it is a lifelike flower carved on it, no one will have the idea of opening the museum, because there is not even a hair except crystals.
But here it is completely different, this kind of stone coffin may have been made by the later Olmecs, Tortok Germans, and maybe even Teotihuacans.
When the hell was the builder here, except for Professor Erickson, no one cared, even Xing Jie was now full of interest, looking at the stone coffin on the ground that had been displayed.
Why? Needless to say? Who doesn't know that from the Olmecs to the Aztecs, there was a custom in the burials here, and that was that the burial goods were very rich.
What's more, this is the tomb of the gods for those people, and for the gods, shouldn't those ancients offer the most precious treasures?
"Uncle Cheng, should we light candles in the tomb?
"Light a fart candle! ”
Since Professor Erickson is busy with this kind of thing, Xing Jie doesn't interfere, although he is also very good at it, but in front of this kind of archaeological master, he still shouldn't be ugly.
In the face of this orthodox cemetery archaeology, Professor Erickson is naturally the best of the best. A pair of dexterous hands, although he can't do tricks, but years of experience tell him that this stone coffin is not simple.
"I've never heard of stone coffins being sealed! Jie, I remember, you ancient China seems to have this kind of sealing method of using yellow financial juice and then pouring it in. Professor Erickson used a knife to remove some of the seals and carefully identified them before speaking.
Xing Jie nodded, and then said in a ghostly tone that this is a curse technique, that is, first use witchcraft to curse the dead, and then completely seal the coffin, so that the people inside have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. A breath of resentment is forced to be held in the coffin, so that if it is opened after a while, the people inside will become zombies. And this kind of zombie is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, and kills people when they see them, which is the best means of preventing tomb robbery.
Xing Jie has the potential to be a late-night radio host, and he tells ghost stories to paint a voice, not to mention, but still a set. Although I don't know what others think, Cocola and Lilia's faces became a little unnatural, which made Xing Jie very strange.
Playing archaeology, are you afraid of these ghost stories of digging graves and robbing graves?
Big sister paper, are you here to be funny?
Xing Jie and Basang were joking about Cocola, but the fear on Lilia's face grew stronger, and at the end she even let out a scream that is characteristic of women when they are frightened. Then there was a direct bang, he pulled the bolt of the gun in his hand, took aim with the gun, and was ready to shoot at the stone coffin at any time.
"Something is wrong! Lilia seems to be in her senses!" Bassan snapped. Then he rushed out, dodged, and rushed directly towards Lilia, with one hand and one crossarm. The M14 in Lilia's hand flew into Basan's hand in an instant, and then the ape arm stretched out like a large hand made of steel and pressed directly on the back of Lilia's neck.
Gently picked up Lilia and put her into the arms of the American team member on the side.
Xing Jie was embarrassed, he didn't expect an ordinary story to cause such trouble. But in comparison, Professor Erickson is even more embarrassed.
"What the hell is going on?" Professor Erikson's face is now a little unbearable, his team members can be frightened into delirium by a ghost story, if this kind of thing spreads, the American team really has no face to show their heads in front of those former colleagues. Cocola hesitated for a moment and came to the professor's side. After a few words, Professor Erikson's eyes widened and he turned his head sharply to stare at Cocola. After a while, like a deflated ball, he turned around and came to the team, picked up a phone, pressed a few buttons, and then hid to the side and muttered.
After a long while, Professor Erickson returned to the excavation site, glanced at the three bigwigs, and said, "I have collected all the stone coffins here, and we will pay 10 million for each one!"
After a pause, he deliberately glanced at Xing Jie, and then said, "There are no things in it that you think, and there are no gold jewelry. Let's be clear, the conditions are not enough to open it now, because once it is opened, the contents inside are really dangerous! Of course, you can also choose not to sell them, there are a total of twenty-one stone coffins, and according to the contract, we can get seven of them, which is enough for research!"
Xing Jie smiled, looked at Uncle Cheng and the others for a while, glanced at the stone coffin again, and said with a light smile: "What is 70 million for people like us? In front of national interests, personal interests seem so insignificant, so I choose 10 million, and I sell three!"
However, the price should be increased in the form of a ladder, that is to say, I will sell the first seat for 10 million, the second seat I will ask for 20 million, and the third seat will be 40 million! A total of 70 million, if the deal is reached, I can pay you a commission of 10 million, you can choose bank transfer or Alipay. Also, as a thank you and as an excuse for the professor to repay the bill, I can tell you a little discovery for free!"
Xing Jie's words were shameless, but they were also effective.
Every time these people pass through the cash flow, they spend thousands or even hundreds of millions of cash without the slightest psychological burden, but it is not their own after all!
10 million, falling into my pocket, that feeling, it's really cool.
Also, Xing Jie's discovery, if you buy it with more than 10 million yuan, it is still worth it!
No one cared about what was in the coffin, it was nothing more than the power that appeared in some prehistoric ruins. But what is Xing Jie's discovery?
Everyone is curious.
Professor Erikson hesitated for a long time, but he still walked to Xing Jie's side with a complicated expression, and the two high-fived each other.
So Xing Jie came to the edge of the tomb and let Basang push him towards a place.
In everyone's surprised eyes, Xing Jie and Basang disappeared into the tomb!
