Chapter 11: Returning Home

"Sun Palace?"

"You mean the Mobian Palace?" said Alutarch, frowning slightly.

"Hmm. Mo Fan nodded. Queza, in the indigenous language, means to come to heaven and to God. Mobia means glowing......

"I would like to know what the Sun Palace means to your tribe. ”

"Mobia is a mythical bird with a flame on its body, and legend has it that it has only one leg, perched on the Holy Mountain, and shines with its warmth throughout the Yukon, especially during the cold winter months...... It is our totem, the object of worship. Like many myths and legends, the god had a palace where he lived. Alutarch became drunk, and continued: "Just like the myths of other American civilizations, some tribes worship the god corn, and some are excited about the god Quetzalcoatl...... Nothing special. Alutak shook his head speechlessly, it was simply a myth, and no one believed in its existence.

"That'...... If the Mobian Palace really exists?"

"No kidding. Your nation also has its own legends, can you imagine that your nation's totem, the dragon really exists? man, that's just legends, myths. Our own nation is not taken seriously either. ”

"I was digging for gold and found an ancient ruin. The ruins are so large that I think they might be the legendary Sun Palace. Mo Fan said, took out his mobile phone, and flipped out some photos for Alutak to see.

Alutak is considered a man of status, the eldest son of the leader of a small tribe, and the eldest son who exists in the country.

The ruins of the Sun Palace were searched by Mo Fan in a carpet manner, but there must be something more valuable, but it was no longer important to Mo Fan. Mo Fan now wanted to know the contents of the oracle bone inscription in the 'sacrificial pit'.

Alutak wasn't too excited, and asked, "Where is the site?"

"Nope. ...... in the National Park I was going to contact the Department of Cultural Heritage directly, but you're my friend and contacted you first. Mo Fan touched the stubble on his chin, opened the bag he was carrying, and took out a bronze statue, in their civilization in Arutak, this bronze statue is called Quizamobia, according to the Eastern language, it is called 'Bi Fang'. This bronze statue is 26 centimeters high and 31 centimeters wide, one-legged, and has lifelike feathers on its body, with a face similar to that of a snake eagle and sharp eyes.

"Queza Mobia!" Alutak quickly folded his hands when he saw the bronze statue.

"I found it inside the ruins. Several human skeletons were also found at that time, which were the bones of modern humans. I would have liked to announce the discovery of the site myself, but because I had discovered a large gold mine, it was better to keep a low profile at this stage. I want you to announce this, whether it is a Mobian palace or not, it will bring benefits to your tribe. Mo Fan sent the bronze and stuffed it to him.

Alutak shook his head: "It's your glory......"

"There is an old saying in our Chinese that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Besides, it is a civilization that belongs to your ancestors. Mo Fan smiled, and he guessed that it was really possible for the ruins of the Mobia Palace to withdraw something.

When exploring the ruins, I used my mental power to dig ten feet into the ground, and there were more than a dozen bronzes in my own space, and more than 300 other bronzes.

The ruins of the Mobian palace are not made public, and the bronzes are worthless.

It may be worthless, and if it does not explain its origin, it may be regarded as a Chinese bronze and hyped up, and hundreds of thousands of dollars should be worth it.

Bronzes are not very popular in the auction market, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties have been auctioned, and the ones in very good condition and have certain archaeological value can be auctioned for more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the ordinary points are millions of Hong Kong dollars, and more cannot be sold for a price.

Whether an antique is worth money or not does not depend on its age, but on its meaning, artistic value, and so on.

Alutak hesitated for a long time and then took the bronze: "Thank you, my dear brother. ”

"I'm very interested in the ruins of the Sun Palace, especially the Sun God Bird, which is so much like the elephant bird in our national myths and legends. ”

"Here you go again, the Indian nation must be a native American civilization. ”

"Indians are, but you are not necessarily native-born...... Look at the color of our skin, our appearance, and some of the customs preserved by your tribe, which are very similar to the northern ...... of our country."

"Well, well, I'm too lazy to argue with you. If our tribe is really descended from the East, I will go to China in the future. Alutak hugged Mo Fan: "Thank you so much. Can you tell us about the scale of the discovery and the process of discovery?"

"The process of discovery...... It was undoubtedly discovered in the search for gold. The size of the site should be large, it's within the Tombstone Hill National Park, and I didn't explore it carefully because of the rush of time......"

……

After Christmas, Canadian national television reported on the news of the bronze statue of Quezamobia, which was claimed to be 4,000 years old, according to professional institutions. In an interview, Alutac said that the statue of Queza Mobia was found at the site of the Mobia Palace, and the Mobia Palace was found. Alutac used flowery rhetoric to describe the splendor of the ruins of the Mobian palace, and Mo Fan was extremely embarrassed to hear it.

There is not much left of the ruins of the Mobia palace ruins, and in the past, it was a bare hillside with some large stones, and the ruins were not obvious because of the tundra and weeds.

The archaeological team quickly assembled and braved the snow to head to Tombstone Mountain, where there was a precise address, and it took only a short time to make a discovery. However, because of the oncoming snowstorm and the unusually cold, the archaeologists only used instruments to do preliminary exploration to determine the approximate extent of the ruins.

With the site confirmed, the Canadian Department of Cultural Heritage moved quickly, blocking news of the Mobian palace ruins while preparing for archaeology in the coming year.

The news of the ruins of the Mobia palace reported by national television did not cause a particularly big sensation, but as a series of figures such as professors of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto, Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellows of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of British Columbia, professors of the Department of Geography, and professors of the Department of Linguistics gathered in Dawson City, Yukon, major news-sensitive media outlets have been dispatched.

After New Year's Day, in February, the news about the ruins of the Mobia palace was overwhelming.

"As we all know, because of the geography and climate of northern Canada, in the eyes of the archaeological community, it is almost impossible to give birth to a great ancient civilization here. But judging from the recent actions of Cultural Heritage Canada, there may be a major discovery that will shock the world...... "USA Today".

"The Mobia Palace means the Palace of the Sun, the residence of the sun god Queza Mobia. Quezamobia has always been the god of the few Indian peoples in the north, the one-legged, flaming eagle...... The bronze statue of Quezamobia that has been discovered is 4,000 years old. The archaeological site that ended last month, according to reliable sources, covers a major area of five square kilometers, on the slopes of a large mountain, but no pictures have been released yet...... "Vancouver Sun Daily.

"There is news that a super gold mine has been discovered in the wilderness north of Tombstone Mountain. The mining rights to the gold mine were obtained by a middle-aged man of Chinese descent and spent $12 million to buy 100 square kilometers of land in the main mining area of the gold mine......" Sing Tao Daily.

In the airport hall, Mo Fan, who was waiting for the return flight, looked at the mobile phone news and touched his chin speechlessly: Could it be that he is already old before he knows it...... It's speechless.

"The Yukon Gold Rush is back ......"

"Dawson City, a city that rose because of gold, but it's gone. Coming back to Dawson today, the hotel is basically full, and many residents even have their rooms vacated to receive tourists. A new gold rush is about to begin, guys, what are you waiting for? Go, Dawson ......"
