Chapter 350: Golden Lake
"Although there is a secret passage under the boss, it is impossible to dig silently, and it will definitely alarm the local government!"
Tom regretted to tell Wu Tianyuan the news, even if he knew that there was a secret passage to the Pharaoh's secret room hidden below, he could not secretly dig it out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Forget it, let's go back and find an opportunity to dig together with Egypt, I don't really want to do the lack of virtue of digging people's ancestral graves."
The group left Egypt, originally thinking that they could get the treasure chest early, but who knows if it was in vain. But when there is an opportunity to use this news in the future, I will make a deal with the Egyptian government.
"You can't go home empty-handed, the east is not bright and the west is bright, go to the Golden Lake!"
In ancient times, there was an Inca empire centered on Peru in South America, which was very powerful, and all the palaces in the capital were decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, which was brilliant and splendid.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire, and at the beginning of the 16th century, plundered all the gold and precious stones. When the Spanish commander Pizarro heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire had been brought from Manoa, ruled by a chieftain named Patty, and that there was a mountain of gold and silver treasures, Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to the Golden City, located deep in the Amazon forest.
However, in this vast primeval forest, where every step forward means fear and death, there are beasts and snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost paths and threats, expeditions that have returned disappointed or are missing, and Pizarro can only imagine looking at this forest from afar.
Then the Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Dutch, and Germans heard of the Golden City, and everyone wanted to make a fortune, so they flocked to the Amazon jungle.
Among them, a Spaniard named Caesada, led an expedition of about 716 people to the Golden City, and after paying a terrible price of 550 lives, he finally discovered the Golden City and the legendary Golden Lake in the Kandina Marga Plain, and found an emerald gem worth 3 million US dollars, but this is only a small part of the treasure that the Golden City is difficult to estimate.
Wu Tianyuan's goal is located in Colombia, deep in the Amazon jungle, the Golden Lake, the legendary Golden Lake is Colombia's Guadaveda Lake.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the nephew of the last king of the Indian tribe described the traditional coronation ceremony held on the shores of the Golden Lake: when the heir to the throne was coated with gold dust like gold, and then swam in the lake to wash away the gold dust, his subjects offered gold and jade, piled at his feet, and the new king threw all the gold into the lake as a sacrifice to God, a traditional ceremony that was held countless times, showing the temptation of the gold lake.
Since the 16th century, the salvage of the Golden Lake has not stopped, and in 1545 a treasure hunt organized by the Spaniards recovered hundreds of gold items from the shallow bottom of the lake in three months.
In 1911 a British company dug a tunnel to drain the lake, but the sun quickly dried the thick mud into a dry slab, and when the British brought in drilling equipment from England, the lake was filled with water again, and the costly salvage failed.
Many people believe that there are still treasures of astonishing value buried at the bottom of the golden lake, hundreds of thousands of tons of gold, 5,000 gold products.
Compared with the treasure sunken in the sea, the search is extremely difficult, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it takes several years or even more than ten years for treasure hunters or treasure hunting companies to find treasure at the bottom of the sea.
And the Golden Lake is just a lake, with an area of only a dozen square kilometers, and it only takes 40 minutes by car in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, to reach the legendary Golden Lake, with a very clear goal.
The Golden Lake is not just a pure treasure legend, but there is a lot of hard evidence that there are hundreds of tons of gold at the bottom of the lake.
For example, it is recorded that the Indians of Guadawida were the best craftsmen in making gold, and the craftsmen who lived on the shores of the 'Golden Lake' were the leaders of the Musca Empire.
Gold mines are abundant near the Guadavida Golden Lake. In Colombia, almost every family has a few pieces of gold that have been passed down from generation to generation, and some families claim to know some secret gold mines. In 1913, the British explorer Walker used diving equipment to excavate from the shallow bottom of the lake, and unearthed hundreds of gold objects, including gold cups, gold bowls, gold pots and gold magic vessels of various sizes.
The group secretly came to the vicinity of the Golden Lake, which has been controlled by the government, and it is strictly forbidden for any private salvage, Wu Tianyuan's target is not the bottom of the lake, but the surrounding primitive tribal ruins recorded in history.
He was sure because of a gold vessel in his hand, an artifact engraved with the pattern of a toad.
This is exactly the device of the Paleo-Indians, who recognized the toad as the embodiment of auspiciousness and wisdom, it symbolized a good harvest and a full house of descendants, and the Paleo-Indians at that time worshipped the toad.
According to the records, the totem of this tribe is the toad, every year the patriarch has to build a golden boat, on a gold bamboo raft nearly 20 centimeters long, there are 11 golden shining gold people, and there are golden toads with different postures, exquisite and exquisite, and the production process is very exquisite.
The Golden Boat has one piece in the Colombian Gold Museum, known as the treasure of the town hall, a priceless treasure. Legend has it that the chief of the Indians, who was covered in gold dust and carried various gold offerings, went to the sacred Lake Guadavida with a golden boat to worship the gods.
The Musca culture worships water the most, and the ancestor goddess of the Musca people, Bachue, came out of the lake, and the Tsibucha people believe that the gods live in the lake, and it is there that life begins and ends.
"It's in this area, everyone is looking for it separately, and the metal detector should respond."
Everyone began to search for the treasures buried in the ruins of the wilderness, and sure enough, there were dozens of gold objects found nearby, including good men and women who reflected various gestures of religious ceremonies, and vessels that held offerings during the worship of the heavens, and various utensils were carved with patterns such as deer, eagles, and toads.
There are also some head, thorax and belly ornaments, which are engraved with human heads and patterns of birds and animals, as well as the daily necessities of the ancient Indians, such as pots, cups, bowls, basins, masks, shrines, fish fishing, etc. Most of these devices are made of gold leaf and gold wire, with rich and colorful styles, superb skills, exquisite workmanship, and each piece is a very valuable work of art.
Wu Tianyuan returned with a full load to bring back this batch of hundreds of gold and silver artifacts that can best represent the ancient Indian civilization to the museum, officially becoming the second batch of precious collections of the ancient civilization museum in addition to the treasures of Banqing.
"Boss, here I have collected the logs of the world's famous explorers, and one of them is named Fred, which is very interesting."
Wu Tianyuan took the log, and after translation, it turned out to be about Amazon Golden City? (To be continued.) )
