Chapter 120: Precious Stones, Precious Gems. (Ask for tickets at the end of the month)
If you were talking about Amenhotep IV, Xing Jie might not know.
But you say Akhenathon?
If you don't know about this, it's a bit too much to say.
Isn't it just a strange-looking person, with a head as big as a big-headed son, as a big man, but he has to wear an 'E' cup and a pair of breasts that stand out from the crowd.
Anyway, every time Xing Jie saw the description of Akhen Natun, he laughed a lot. It seems that there was really no one in the Eighteenth Dynasty at that time, and it was enough to let such a deformed child be a pharaoh.
There are a lot of mysteries about this Akhenathon, not to mention whether he is an unfilial son or not, as a pharaoh, he must believe in monotheism. No one can tell where he came from.
Anyway, there is everything in the historiographical circle, and it is normal to say that he is a collection of various diseases. This Xing Jie can also agree, after all, medicine was not developed at that time, and it was also popular to marry close relatives in Egypt at that time, so it was normal for one or two deformed children to appear. But there is also a lot of gossip about what kind of alien offspring he is, and that's enough. Strange-looking aliens?
Joke, if such a situation is considered aliens, what about the prehistoric ruins that Xing Jie discovered? Don't forget, in the stone wall carvings in the Qinling Ruins, the scene when Xuanyuan and Chi You were fighting to be the handlers is vivid. What should I say about that look? Immortals?
Just when Xing Jie was in a state of disgust, Yang Le and Lilia came over and reported the specific weight of the gold. 17,637 pounds! That's about 8 tons! If you do that, the professor will earn more than 300 million dollars in this trip. Even if you deduct the miscellaneous expenses, if you are pure, there is no problem with 200 million in your pocket.
However, the current Professor Clint Kao obviously did not focus on the income of gold, but just stared at the Ring of Solomon, and the essence of his eyes was a foot long.
"Jay, make a price, we'll take this ring. Aziz said with a smile.
"Of course, there is no problem, the set of black pottery "Book of Jonah" and the golden cup in the city lord's mansion will belong to me. Why don't I have some exotic artifacts in my study? Of course, our team has to pay less. Xing Jie stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Deal!" Professor Clint said after thinking for a moment, and then also held out his hand.
High five!
Everyone is happy, Xing Jie doesn't want that Raushzi Solomon's ring, that thing is no better than the coals in his hand, except for Aziz, if Xing Jie dares to hide it privately, believe it or not, the upper echelons of Israel will be able to kill the imperial capital the next day?
And then, there is no such thing, what kind of international influence, United Nations canvassing, etc., can be directly deducted. If the Israeli high-level had a better heart, they might be able to give a few million, but did Xing Jie lack those millions? Of course he didn't, but he didn't want to cause so much trouble!
If you want the Book of Jonah? You know, the Pope still has the original blueprints of the Vatican's basilicas in his hand, and there are designers' signatures on them! For Xing Jie, this is the good thing he dreams of.
Adams's eyelids were very lively, and as soon as he heard that Xing Jie wanted this, he knew what he was paying attention to, and he also smiled slightly, and pulled Yang Le to discuss when to trade. Who in the circle doesn't know the question of who is in power in Xing Jie's family? The joke that the Fan family made at the beginning is still fresh in everyone's memory!
"Xing Jie, something is wrong here. Basang said in Xing Jie's ear.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xing Jie suddenly turned his head nervously and looked at Basang and asked.
"I just heard Isabel say that this gold is the annual output of this city lord's mansion, but this is impossible! As far as I know, a hundred grams of gold in one ton of ore can be called a rare bonanza.
In the current situation of fully mechanical mining, a large mine can process 50 tons of gold a year, which is already a very good profit. Needless to say, a lot of small gold mines, which are 10 tons and 8 tons! But here, thousands of years ago, it was inconceivable that such a small pit could produce such high-yield, high-quality gold nuggets from a small pit by manpower alone. ”
Basang's words brought everyone to the spirits.
Who doesn't like money?
In particular, there may be a rare super bonanza in this pit next to them, what does this mean? That is, this news alone can sell for a lot of money, provided that the gold mine here is still abundant!
The professor is now focused on finding clues in the City Lord's Mansion, and he doesn't care about the gold mine. But Aziz will not give up such a God-given opportunity at all! Everyone else here is organized and backed by, and it is a big deal to have a hard time without money. But he can't, after all, the annual cost of a single professor Clint is an astronomical amount!
It was a very dangerous thing to go down to such a deep pit to see the gold deposit, and Xing Jie took this opportunity to ask Yang Le to take a few pieces of gold and go to Jerusalem with the five people and Hydra's people. Anyway, for such a thing, Brita's subordinates are all excited and inexplicable, and they are finally going to have a stable income.
As for whether Yang Le enjoyed presidential treatment, Xing Jie didn't care anymore, and Aziz took the lead and went down to the pit.
Excitement is excitement, but the professional ethics that Aziz and others should have are still the same. After all, there are so many secrets here. What happened here back then, and why did they all suddenly die? Not only the city lord's mansion, but even the coolies in the back city were also turned into dry bones overnight!
And was it really for gold that this place was built so secretly? What is it that makes them know that there is such a thing as gold here, and they will work so hard to mine it here?
The trail is narrow, but still flat and solid. After such a long period of damp erosion, there has not been much collapse. One has to admire the thought that the Assyrians used to put into it here.
By the time the group circled down the path, Xing Jie and the others finally saw that something was wrong here. The amount of gold here is simply exaggerated, and in some cases, finger-sized natural gold condensations can be found on the rock face next to the trail!
Just now, I thought that in such a primitive situation, it could produce eight tons of gold per year, which was already a very remarkable bonanza. But now it seems that it is not the case at all.
If such a rich reserve is calculated, the Assyrians at that time did not have to dig a pit at all, just pick it up. So many people, each person picks up a little bit of these natural gold condensates every day, and the output is more than a little more than eight tons in a year. And those people didn't even pick up finger-sized pieces of natural gold, so what the hell were they doing?
Well, a mountain is still a mountain high.
Just now, I thought that the finger-sized natural gold aggregate was very awesome. And the Aziz and their group now seem to be forgivable for not picking up those things in the first place.
No matter where you dare to dig up this thing in the ground world, you must definitely set up an offering table, incense, and offer a pig's head. Although it cannot be said that it is everywhere here, it can also be said that it is not uncommon!
"Oh my God, what the hell are these Assyrians up to? Don't you even want gold?" said Bassan, glaring at him.
Xing Jie was also shocked, the situation in front of him was really weird. If it weren't for the fact that this was a large mine, he would have suspected that the ancient Assyrians were looking for such a thing as pure gold. But haven't you heard that Adamantite is naturally produced?
In this 100-square-meter pit, everyone is here to pick up.
It wasn't until Aziz was trembling there with a piece of dog's head gold that Xing Jie and the others understood what good things those Assyrians had gotten here in the first place.
A rectangular crystal was contained in a piece of dog's head gold, and when illuminated by the light, it emitted a brilliant and bewitching light. It's not a gold cube, it looks like a rough diamond in terms of light transmission. But this natural light transmission is by no means achievable with rough diamonds.
Gems? Is it a gem?
But how precious was such a gemstone, and how blind did the Assyrians turn a blind eye to gold?
