Chapter 183: Strange Dragon
"3,000 pieces of Mobia gold cake and weighs 1.5 tons. Mo Fan turned on the light and picked up the gold coins scattered on the ground.
Kyle quickly picked up a piece and weighed it to see what it looked like.
The gold cake is less than the size of a palm, with a sun motif on the front and a bird's head on the back.
Kyle even picked up a few pieces, "It's all the same?"
"Hmm. Mo Fan shrugged.
"Exactly like the gold cake excavated by the Canadian archaeological team, the weight of a single gold cake is also 0.5 kilograms?"
"Hmm!"
"This thing ......," Kyle smiled wryly, "it's not worth much." ”
Mo Fan raised his middle finger: "I sold it to you cheaply, according to the market price of gold." ”
Kyle shook his head: "The market price of gold is $1,389 per ounce today. Mobia gold coins, they have only 92%-94% gold content. ”
"It's an antique, an ancient coin, a plaything that's thousands of years old. Mo Fan shouted.
"The Mobia site is a national heritage site in Canada. There will be big trouble for gold cakes to enter the market, and it will be a real trouble. ”
Mo Fan's heart moved, took out the treasure map of the Mobia ruins, and threw it to Kyle: "This thing is given to you together." In this way, it can be bought at a good price. ”
Kyle read the journal, held it in his hand and thought about it for a moment before he said, "Do you still have a gold brick in your hand?"
"Yes. It's been melted, disposed of. ”
Kyle returned the notepad to Mo Fan: "It's useless to have a treasure map. The Canadian Treasure Law is a complete copy of the British Treasure Law, and the treasures found on private land belong to private individuals. The Tombstone Mountains are national land, nature reserves...... The Mobia site is already a national treasure of Canada, and any item found at the Mobia site is considered a 'treasure'. If you really pursue it, you belong to stealing national treasures. Given that the Mobia ruins had not yet become a national treasure when you took them, your actions were comparable to stealing mineral resources...... This is not a small number, and the Mobia site is the largest archaeological discovery of this century, and if there is any treasure left behind, Canada will definitely pursue it. ”
"There is no underground market. Mo Fan frowned.
Kyle spread his hands exaggeratedly and pointed to the golden cake on the ground, "That's too much." Canada is a big country and should never underestimate a country's capabilities, especially when it comes to tracking down things that interest them. You don't know how much of a sensation the Mobian ruins have caused...... Think about the international market suddenly someone trading terracotta warriors, or the real thing. What kind of impact does it have...... Unless, you don't go to Canada in the future. ”
"That'...... Melted?" Mo Fan was a little reluctant.
"To use an old Chinese saying, these things are hot potatoes. If you must sell, it is better to melt it. You are all billionaires, and you also have an industry in Canada, there is no need to offend a country for petty profits, it is not worth it. ”
Mo Fan picked up the gold cake on the ground and weighed it in his hand: "Okay." There are all kinds of gems on the ground, is there anyone who knows how to help me identify and estimate the price? ”
Kyle picked up the stone on the ground and looked at it carefully, the gem, which was a natural mineral crystal. These things must be professionally evaluated, but it is also difficult to estimate its absolute value, and how much to sell depends mainly on whether the seller's heart is black and whether the seller is rich.
"Where did you get so many rough stones?"
"The Atlantic, the bottom of the sea. Royal Palace of Atlantis. ”
"Damn!" Kyle crouched down and looked closely, there were many types of gemstones, including chalcedony, which should be Brazilian agate. There are green jade rough stones, and some rough stones have cracks on the surface, which crack at a light touch, and there are many cracks inside. These are deep-sea objects, these 'stones' that are already cracked, are subjected to pressure from all directions in the deep sea, and they will not break when they are at the bottom of the sea, but they are easy to crack when they are taken out of the water. These objects have been in the deep sea for at least 12,000 years.
"How much treasure have you harvested in the Atlantean Palace?"
"There are 300,000 gold coins and 2 million silver coins, not as many as the things in the pyramid. Mo Fan asked Kyle for a cigarette: "Don't worry, the interests of the Lederick Marine Exploration Company come first." ”
"The second batch of salvage from the pyramid is being prepared for installation, and it will be delivered in two days, with a total of 47,000 gold coins, 110,000 silver coins and other items, with 21.65 tons. I feel that the lower I go, the fewer gold and silver coins there are, and the more other metal objects and ceramics there are. In addition, there was news that a stone coffin had been found, and the salvage team was trying to figure out a way. ”
There are more than 300 'sea gods' buried in the pyramids, that is, the kings of Atlantis, and those stone coffins are very troublesome to get out.
The penultimate level of the pyramid, where there are still several alien corpses!
Mo Fan pinched his eyebrows, according to the progress of the Lederick Marine Exploration Company, it may take decades to salvage to the bottom.
The Atlantic submarine pyramid collapsed badly, and Kyle said before that he would salvage half of it in two years, but with the technology of the Lederick Marine Exploration Company, he may not even be able to finish the upper part of the pyramid, and continue to improve the technology. The structure of the submarine pyramid is badly damaged, and the further down it goes, the larger and more dangerous the pyramid structure becomes.
After nine o'clock in the evening, the yacht Xinghai arrived at the atoll, and James and Professor Matt delivered the packed 'keel' to the villa.
According to time calculations, these bones must have been immersed in seawater for 5 years, and the surface of the bones is parasitic with a large number of marine life.
"Mr. Kyle. James was stunned when he saw Kyle there.
"It's okay, my own people. Mo Fan jumped on the yacht and helped carry the largest box to the shore: "This is the dragon's skull?"
"I'm not sure if it's a dragon for the time being, it's very similar. James said.
Professor Matt lifted his glasses: "It could also be an unknown pterodactyl." ”
A total of 12 boxes, all carried to the villa, Kyle looked confused, and tried to ask many times but couldn't find a good opportunity.
Entering the living room and putting down his things, leaving only James and the three professors, Ellison returned to the yacht with the crew.
Mo Fan opened the box containing the skull, there are many bones that make up the skull, full of parasites, put together like an elongated horse's head, the skull also has a bulging bone bag, the mouth is very big enough to bite off the feeling of a human head, the jaw bones have sharp teeth, a few fingers long curved fangs, the teeth are blue-green, and it feels very hard.
"It's a bit of a dragon. Mo Fan sighed and said.
"The rock walls of the Nameless Island cave are smooth and show signs of burning from high temperatures, and we have also collected samples and returned. ”
Antonic opened the box: "This is the neck bone part. The bones in the cave are so well preserved that they almost look like dragons sleeping on their stomachs. ”
Professor Mooro helped put the bones together.
Mo Fan opened several other boxes......
"In the West, there are two kinds of dragons, one is Seraph, which means Seraph, and the four-legged serpent. It is derived from the four-legged serpent of Judaism, and has been fully humanized in Western religious portraits and sculptures. However, in the Mesopotamian ruins about 2000 years ago, there is a stone statue of Seraph 'Angry Snake' unearthed, one of which has wings and resembles a Chinese dragon, which is closer to the Quetzalcoatl god of American civilization. ”
"The other is the dragon, the winged tiger, which is the Celtic emblem, and it is the same dragon that is featured on the Welsh flag of England. ”
Nearly 3,000 bones, pieced together for more than four hours, took on the shape of a head and a dragon. The body of a snake, the head resembling that of a horse and an ox, and the claws of a four-legged bird, the claws are small, compared to its body...... There are wings, two pairs in total, one large and one small, which distribute the forefoot and hindfoot...... Whether it is a large wing or a small wing, it does not match its body.
This head ...... This ...... The dragon is 13 meters long, and the largest wings are only 3 meters in diameter.
"Is it a dragon?"
The bones are spliced together in the ground, and one can only imagine its shape in the mind.
Andenic said: "It's more like the Feathered Serpent, the god of the civilization of Central America, and it also has a name called Quezar Coatel...... But the Feathered Serpent has no claws. ”
Before Antonic finished speaking, Kyle said, "The sun god bird of the Morbian civilization, its name is Queza Mobia. You say, will their legends have anything to do with it? ”
Antonic shook his head: "Quezamobia is a bird, a bird with flames on its body. Quezalcoartl is a serpent, a snake with green feathers. There should be no association. ”
Not necessarily, they seem to be related. Mo Fan's eyes lit up.
"Huh?" Antonic looked at Mo Fan: "I was doing academic research a few years ago, and I didn't know much about the Mobia ruins, so I only read relevant reports. ”
"Quezamobia is the god of the sun, and in the oracle bone inscriptions excavated from the Mobia site, they are responsible for spreading fire and controlling the sun. Quezal Koatl symbolizes sowing and harvesting, and legend has it that Quezal Koyatl served as the sun god for a period. ”
"Can the sun god still be selected? ”
Mo Fan shrugged: "I said they are related because they are all related to the sun." ”
