Chapter 40: Follow-up
After Professor Yang Tianhua got the jade record, he was like a treasure, and when his uncle handed over the whole volume of jade tablets to him, Professor Yang was so excited that he almost fainted.
I don't know what benefits the Chinese side promised, but the United States has very boldly agreed to lend it for a period of three years! This made Xing Jie feel very incredible, when did the proud US imperialist speak so well?
But Professor Clint Kaw also smiled and said it was a good deal. The jade record full of tadpole texts, although it is valuable, is only symbolic for the archaeological community.
In comparison, how can it be cost-effective to keep the giant panda at the National Zoo in Washington for two more years? You must know that Professor Clint Kaw's little granddaughter is the number one fan of the panda's 'baby'. It's just a three-year loan of jade records, which is not a required condition, but it was unanimously approved by the board of directors.
Compared with the disdain of the American emperor for Jade Record, Professor Yang is as happy as a flower. After getting the approval, he took Zhou Ziyu on the plane back to China and left in a hurry.
The group of ascetics in the Vatican and Zhou Ziyu's uncles and uncles were also excited about the runes in the video, although they were not complete, and there were many missing, but even if they got a little rune from thousands of years ago, they were already extremely lucky. What's more, inferring from the video, more than half of the entire rune was definitely filmed!
With this, who of the two gangs cared about what kind of reward? They rushed to Jerusalem! So Dima was so sad that he was holding the Pope's urgent recall order in his hand, and watched the ascetic leader spread heroic posts in the cathedral of Jerusalem, frantically summoning heroes from all walks of life.
The entire religious circles in Jerusalem are crazy, and the runes that have been handed down thousands of years ago and are still functioning have now appeared in front of everyone! What pope, archbishop, imam, rabbi, and so on are all so excited that they can't help themselves, and who dares to say that they will reach out and rob them at this time, they will definitely be tortured alive by this group of crazy people.
Xing Jie didn't want to know what was in the other markers now. With this temple as a benchmark, it was all too easy to identify the other markers.
Xing Jie can not care, but Aziz and his uncle cannot. After three or four days of rest, he hurried to the direction of the second marker with Davis and Garcia.
As for Wilson and Rodriguez, they were forcibly drafted by Professor Erikson and traveled back and forth between Jerusalem and Kiber Quinlan every day, tired like dogs.
The worst thing is Amy, what a beautiful little girl, even if she doesn't do anything, it would be good to be a mascot in the camp. I didn't expect to be valued by Isabel and taken under his command! According to my uncle, Amy received special training at the base of the United States Marine Corps, and her life was miserable. It is an exaggeration that Isabel personally practiced it, and this kind of bad luck can be seen just by thinking about how dark it is.
Finally relaxed again, this kind of life is what Xing Jie is most satisfied with. In fact, if Xing Jie proposes to return to China, everyone will not have any objections. However, since he had promised Professor Aziz to be his personal assistant, the work here had not yet been completed, and Xing Jie naturally would not leave.
As if deliberately forgotten, Corelli came to the temple alone in a wheelchair every day. At the beginning, Xing Jie was accompanied a few times, lest she couldn't think about it. But it's too much. It seems that Corelli is just going to reminisce, to eat and drink, and to throw herself into the arms of God?
Before I knew it, two months had passed, and Aziz and his uncle had dug up all the marked places, but there was nothing special in them, many of them were one or two scriptures or something.
Their biggest takeaway was the discovery of an underground palace in Blue Mountain Bay. But unfortunately, it has long been looted by tomb robbers. Finally, under the investigation of the uncle, a very small compartment was found. There is no idol in the sacred boat enshrined on the altar inside, only a ring.
When he saw this ring, Xing Jie was a little dismissive. It was no wonder that whoever he was, after seeing the vast amount of gold artifacts in the temple's side room, naturally completely ignored a small gold ring.
But the uncle is mysterious, and even the Aziz guy is also there looking up forty-five degrees to the sky, which is really enough. Xing Jie was a little annoyed in his heart, and he wanted to pretend to be forced, so why should he pretend to be mentally retarded in front of himself as historically retarded?
"If you have the ability to go to Professor Clint to show off, what are you pretending to be here?" Xing Jie said angrily.
"Take a closer look at what's up there?" said the uncle with a smile.
"Isn't it just a broken ring, what's ......?" Xing Jie didn't say anything after taking a look.
This ring doesn't have anything special about it just by looking at the shape, and compared with the gold jewelry that is popular on the market now, it's stupid and stupid. However, the craftsmanship is still very exquisite, and it seems that it should be something worn by those big guys in ancient times. The only thing that can make people shine is its ring face, which is different from other rings in that there are two rows of six letters on the top, and there is a figure in the middle of the upper and lower rows that Xing Jie is very familiar with.
That figure can be seen everywhere on the frescoes in the main hall of the temple, and Aziz said that it was Thoth's magic card!
"Thoth's ring?" Xing Jie asked uncertainly.
Professor Aziz smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's not easy for you to recognize Thoth's magic card, but this ring is not Thoth's, the letters on it are ancient Hebrew, and it is the abbreviation of a person's name." This man was the son of David, the ancient Jewish king Solomon.
But there is a small question here, that is, why did the Jewish king have Thoth's god tablet on his ring, and although he was married to an Egyptian princess at that time, as the supreme ruler of one country, he had the god of another country on his ring. What would be the purpose of this?"
"Isn't it just that there is Thoth's god card on the ring, what's the big deal? Aren't there many young people who have all kinds of cards around their necks? As far as I know, Solomon was only seventeen years old when he became the boss, which is the age when he likes to be handsome and cool, so I guess it can be said that in the past. Xing Jie said indifferently
This kind of ring had the function of a seal in ancient times, just like the fact that our Chinese emperors had a small seal. At a certain time, it is even more useful than a special seal. The uncle roared angrily.
"Well, you won, isn't it just a broken ring? What's the use? Even if it's Solomon's seal, but his treasure has been dug up, and now it's a piece of? Xing Jie retorted viciously.
Although it is vicious, it is also true. If it weren't for that temple, this ring would have caused a sensation in the archaeological world. But the current situation is that the goods have to be thrown away, if Solomon knew about it, he would definitely crawl out of the tomb and strangle Xing Jie to death.
Aziz grabbed the ring, looked at Xing Jie who was walking towards the room, and shook his head. How could he not know what Xing Jie was thinking in his heart? Watching Xing Jie giggling there every day, and bragging and farting with Hall and others there every day. In fact, his heart was more uncomfortable than anyone else. The discovery of the temple was an absolute sensation in the world, and if the excavation went well, it could be said to be a grand event in the archaeological world.
But now, there are so many people who have died for this matter, and the dead people have not even been able to get their bodies back, and the dead warriors on both sides are still in that gloomy and terrifying hall!
It is not easy for Xing Jie to still maintain such a mentality. Let him join in again, and he will definitely be completely devastated.
Besides, whose ring is this? Solomon's, one of the most famous people in history! Because the contents of the underground palace have been looted, it is impossible to determine the exact date of its construction. But why is this ring enshrined on that sacred ship?
Solomon is very powerful, and there are countless legends, such a large and powerful country, even if it is destroyed in the war, should leave precious cultural relics, but no, just leave this ring, what do you want to tell future generations?
Also, the hiding place of this ring has always been known, otherwise why would it be displayed on the bronze scroll, and why? What kind of person or organization is so powerful, and the duration is simply appalling! Not to mention the cultural relics that have not yet been discovered, just this ring, and then think of the temple, the time span between them has reached nearly a thousand years!
"Wu, I heard that you have another Solomon ring? Hurry up and show it to me. Professor Clint Kao hurriedly walked over, and saw Uncle Xing Jie discussing something with Aziz there, and asked with his mouth open.
"Well, one was found. But what are you talking about?" asked the uncle and Aziz after looking at each other in amazement.
With that, he handed the ring to Professor Clint Kaw.
"Well, it's exactly the same as that one, except that the logo on the ring is different. That one has only six letters in ancient Hebrew, and yours has Thoth's magic card.
Thirty-two years ago, in 1985, the ring was found in a cave on Temple Mountain. At that time, the entire archaeological community rejoiced, thinking that this would be an opportunity to discover the exact location of Solomon's temple. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, when six top archaeological teams dug almost three feet into the ground around the holy city of Jerusalem, only to find nothing.
With the passage of time, all the way up to February 09. The Israeli and Palestinian sides issued a joint declaration halting archaeological excavations at Solomon's Temple indefinitely.
And that ring is also secretly collected by the Jerusalem Museum in Israel. The heads of the archaeological teams at the time were given gag orders not to mention the ring again. ”
