"Okay, I'll tell you about the expedition's travel plan now!" Jin snapped his fingers, and immediately one of his men sent a map, and Jin unfolded the drawing on the table, and said, "Where are we going this time...... Over here! ”

The direction of the map is falling in the area near Damascus! As early as the 10th century BC, when Damascus was the capital of the Armenian kingdom, it was conquered by Alexander the Great after several foreign invasions, including the Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, and Persians.

But somewhere near the former Lebanon Mountains, no one should intrude on its territory, which is known as the "Holy Land of the Peoples of the Far East", which was known to the locals even before the Sumerian civilization, but then disappeared into the long river of history and gradually disappeared!

The place that Jin He wanted to go to this time was the ruins of the ancient city in the Far East Holy Land, where there were unknown treasures, which had always been the object of Jin Ji's coveting, but he would never say anything to Guan Heng, and Guan Heng also knew that it was futile to inquire, so the two tacitly chose not to talk about the purpose of the trip, but only discussed the path of this ancient city, how to set off and travel in a team, and so on, and the two discussed it for nearly an hour.

Finally, when they were about to break up, Jin said to Guan Heng: "For the sake of safety and convenience, we can each bring two assistants, and I will inform you of the departure time at that time, the expedition team is special, please be sure to keep it a secret from the people around you!" ”

"In addition, near Damascus, I have a friend who wants to join the expedition temporarily!" "Because he is the head of a local indigenous gang and a big businessman, and he has lived on the edge of the desert for a long time, he is familiar with the road conditions and shortcuts, and he is an indispensable guide!" ”

"So this is an expedition team composed of three people!" Guan Heng glanced at Jin and said, "If the other party brings two more assistants, our group will be nine people, am I right?" ”

"Yes, you're right!" Jin He nodded and said: "Our expedition team is not much more expensive, if the personnel are selected properly, six people can do enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies, otherwise no matter how many people are bred, it will be in vain and misplace!" ”

A few hours later, Damascus, the largest city and capital of Syria. It was once one of the first inhabited cities in the world, the capital of the Umayyad Dynasty, the earliest hereditary dynasty of the Kingdom of the Empire, known as the garden on earth, the paradise on earth, and today Damascus still plays the alternating role of conquest and conquest, it is still the cradle of the people on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the landlock, for thousands of years, Damascus has been indomitable in the face of disasters and victories, and has become famous as the iconic city of the Middle East!

Damascus is divided into two parts: the New City and the Old City. The old and new towns are bounded by the Bairada River, with the old town on the east bank of the river and the new town on the west bank of the river. The old town still preserves many places of interest from the ancient Roman and Adi periods, and can be called the "city of monuments".

The straight street that runs through the east and west of the ancient city was the main street of the city in ancient Roman times, and the main existing monuments are on and near this street. Among them are the famous Umayyad Temple, which was built in 705 AD; Caesar's Gate in the Middle Ages; The ancient castle built in the 11th century is the pride of this historic city!

In addition, there is the lavish Azimut Palace, which is also one of the highlights of Damascus, which was founded by the governor of Damascus in the mid-18th century. The vast rectangular courtyard built by Azim has two huge cisterns. The hall and its open-air part are richly decorated with marble, tiles and fine woodcuts.

The four walls of the palace are carved with panels and famous verses and aphorisms of Arab scholars. Elsewhere there are inlaid and gilded carvings. The Hanman baths in the palace contain several small bathrooms with different temperatures. In the courtyard lies a Hittite lion hewn out of igneous rock, which represents the top level of architecture of the Abbasid dynasty and is now home to the Syrian Museum of Civil History.

The Hamady market in the ancient city is a straight street, from the beginning of the prosperous trade of the ancient Silk Road, it is the prosperity of Damascus, at that time there were countless shops of all kinds of buying and selling, and even after the war, the auction of prisoners of war slaves from various countries was carried out on this street, in addition to the market, there is a courtyard-style wooden and stone structure of the house, which is the remains of the ancient "silk station", before the powerful [Tang] and the black-clothed food held that tragic war, the courtyard-style building is gathered from the Tang Dynasty land Chang'an, Merchants from Luoyang and other places who came to trade!

Coming here, Jin He took two powerful subordinates, but Guan Heng was surrounded by stone people. Grim and the Emperor! At first, Jin didn't understand why Guan Heng was still with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child by his side, but when he witnessed Santai easily lifting a 200L large oil drum with one hand, the boss of the underground gang immediately closed his mouth and wanted to speak, and his two subordinates with a full face almost dropped their jaws in shock!

At this moment, the group of six people has arrived at the market in Damascus, the original capital of Syria, an ancient city, its market is called world-famous, and stepping into it is like entering an intricate labyrinth. But in the 21st century, many of the small markets were removed and rows of open-air cafes, small restaurants and new bars appeared on the original site, serving aromatic tea or coffee, soft drinks and even shisha.

In the past, in Damascus, people with some financial strength preferred Western-style apartment housing. As a result, the courtyard-style house with a secluded rural atmosphere has not been visited for a long time. Nowadays, however, there is a resurgence of traditional houses, which are often transformed into open-air cafes, which often follow the tradition of mom-and-pop shops, so that every passerby can feel the hospitality of their hosts.

The city of Damascus still retains thousands of old houses in the 21st century, which are not only architectural treasures of the city, but also one of the special features of Damascus. These buildings still retain more than half of the original architecture of the Ottoman period, with a solemn exterior and a splendid interior, which can be called a masterpiece in the history of architecture.

Adjacent to the Umayyad Temple is the Hamidiyah Market. Originally built in Roman times, it is known for its rich history and goods, including clothing, cloth, leather, silver and bronze utensils and traditional handicrafts.
