vs 68 The sun god
Chen Dong visually measured it, excluding the pedestal, the height of the colossus is more than 40 meters, equivalent to 15 stories high, a big toe of the colossus needs four people to hug it, the water depth here is about 110 meters, the water is very dark, and the visibility is very low, however, when the weather is clear and the sea water is clear, on the sea, you can see the head of the colossus, towering straight into the sea,......。 Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Colossus was made of marble and clad in bronze,......。
Due to the erosion of the sea, the Colossus became mottled and its appearance was so badly damaged by erosion that one arm was severed from the crook of the arm, and the broken arm fell to the bottom of the sea, and due to the alluvial action of the current, it was buried by the mud and sand, revealing only the torch held by the arm,......。
The image of the colossus is not unfamiliar to Chen Dong, in the ruins of the three Mu civilizations of Nucatan, Hambek, and Burlis, the excavated stone slabs, and the patterns carved on the walls of the Lametil Temple, can see this image, a giant, the giant holds a divine whip in his left hand, and holds a torch in his right hand,......。
In the culture of the Mu people, this image is the embodiment of the sun, the image of the giant on behalf of the sun has unrivaled power and powerful power,......, the giant holds the whip in his left hand, symbolizing the power of divine punishment, for human greed, sin, blasphemy, human disobedience ,......, other behavior.
The giant holds a torch in his right hand, symbolizing that the sun radiates light and heat, illuminating the earth and bringing warmth to it,......。
The colossus was cast very superbly, although the colossus was mottled by the sea erosion and the damage was very serious, so that Chen Dong could not see the details of the colossus carving, but the demeanor, power, nobility and majesty of the gods that the craftsmen of the Mu people wanted to give to the colossus were vividly expressed,......。
For example, the left arm of the Colossus holding the whip is covered with rust and mottled bronze, and the stone body of the marble is eroded and pitted, but the left arm is full of strength and beauty, the strength of the whip, the posture of the Colossus, and so on, are full of strength and determination,......。

......
It is conceivable that the carving skills of the Mu craftsmen have reached the pinnacle.

This 40-meter-high colossus is a costly project for modern people, and the difficulty is also very great, not to mention the Mu civilization in the cast iron civilization, to carve out the colossus, and erect it, and keep it stable, the difficulty is so great, as a modern person, Chen Dong can not imagine,......。
One of the difficulties, mining such a huge marble and transporting this huge marble from the quarry to Chatham, the manpower, transportation capacity and difficulty are unimaginable.
The second difficulty, carving into a colossus and then wrapping it in bronze, requires countless skilled craftsmen and coppersmiths.
The third difficulty is how the colossus was erected in ancient times when there was a lack of lifting equipment, you know, the colossus is 50 meters high and weighs hundreds of tons.
The fourth difficulty is to stand up the colossus, but also to ensure the stability of the colossus, the lower part of the colossus, especially the feet, need to withstand the huge gravity of the upper part,......。
In fact, the people of Mu erected this colossus, and also ensured that the structure of the colossus is very stable, in hundreds of thousands of years, experienced undersea earthquakes, tsunamis, the flow of water, erosion of the sea,......, in the ruins of Chatham, most of the buildings collapsed, buried in the sediment of the seabed, only this colossus is still standing, towering into the sea,......。

Including, it took more than three months to determine the search scope of Chatham, plus it took nearly 10 months to search for Chatham on the bottom of the sea, and Chen Dong spent more than 1 year to find Chatham, and then, the harvest began.
As the largest port of the Mu Empire and the 'commercial capital', Chatham is a city where huge wealth circulates at all times,....., harvest is certainly not small.
First of all, Chen Dong took out the underwater camera and took a large number of pictures of the Chatham ruins, which took Chen Dong a week and used up hundreds of rolls of scorch, which will become an important basis for the restoration of the city of Charam on Tawu Island in the future.
After doing this work, Chen Dong began to search for valuable things in the ruins.
Chen Dong divided the entire city ruins into several search areas, the docks, the residential area, the commercial area, and the most valuable area, the temple and the city hall in the center of the city.
One thing, Chen Dong knows very well that after a long period of more than 100,000 years, the entire port has been immersed in a seawater environment hundreds of meters deep for a long time, and many things do not exist, for example, the goods piled up in Chatham Harbor, loaded on merchant ships, and ready to be transported to various parts of the Chatham Continent are soaked in seawater, and then, some metals that are prone to chemical reactions and physical reactions, such as bronze, iron, and silver, have been corroded after a long time of more than 100,000 years and the environment of seawater,......。
However, Chen Dong believes that the most valuable things are still preserved, such as gold, precious stones, and the words engraved on the stone tablets of the Mu people, the stone statues left behind, the patterns carved on the walls, stone tablets, etc., these things are ,......,the most valuable things, treasures and cultural treasures of the Mu civilization,......。
First, start your search from the docks.
In Lamethir's logbook, Chatham is described in detail as a very busy, largest seaport city,......, where a large number of ships are moored at all times, which are loaded with goods ready to be transported to the rest of the continent,......, and the huge treasures brought by the treasure fleet from the various colonies are disembarked in Chatham, stored in warehouses at the docks, and then transported by horse-drawn carriages to the capital city of Hiranibra,......。
The value of the dock area lies in the large number of sunken ships in the port, as well as the warehouses in the dock.
