Before he came into contact with and learned so many secrets, Dongfang Chen's view of Moses on the Red Sea was the same as that of the public, just an exaggerated legend.

At this moment, in the mouth of the cardinal who did not leave his name, he saw two sensitive words: artifact, fragment of light.

It must be known that among the objects that are native to the earth, there are not many that can be called artifacts. And they are all things that can bring excessive impact to the audience at the sensory visual level, and the actual effect is actually similar to that of ordinary objects, which is nothing more than a big size and exaggerated shape.

But the artifact that can separate the sea is a bit unbelievable. Even if there is only a glimmer of possible authenticity, then this so-called staff of Moses is definitely an extraordinary thing comparable to a spiritual weapon.

Putting aside the vague concepts such as artifacts, the next sensitive word: fragments of light, Dongfang Chen had to take it seriously.

Because its meaning clearly contains what Dongfang Chen is most eager to understand: light.

Since it's called a Fragment of Light, is it possible to reverse it? This thing wasn't broken before, but a whole thing.

Besides, what is light? is a kind of particle wave, so how can it be said to be fragmented?

To sum up, the light in the literal meaning of the fragment of light is not a simple light, but something that can emit light. Since it was all in pieces, it is safe to conclude that this thing called light was broken and broken into an unknown number of pieces.

And just one fragment of it can be called the Staff of Moses, an artifact, so what will be its full form?

In the flash of light, Dongfang Chen thought of something: the artifact crystal at the top of the lighthouse in the capital of Atlantis.

Because it's called Eternal Light!

In the following time, Dongfang Chen urgently convened the "Puzzle Solving" organization for the fourth time to hold a video conference, and added fragments of light to the sensitive words to be paid attention to.

As the clues became more and more concrete, the direction of the investigation became clearer, and within a few days, the good news came from Hamed's side: he had obtained a parchment scroll from a collector at a loss.

This parchment scroll originated in Iraq and tells the story of the construction of the Tower of Babel by Babylon, the most powerful civilization in the valley of the two rivers.

And what shocked Dongfang Chen even more was that although the Tower of Babel was a legend and did not exist, it did not prevent the ancient Babylonians from trying.

In the most powerful of the First Dynasty, the fifth and sixth kings, Hammurabi and his son, both began to build this legendary tower, and made detailed plans for its construction.

This kind of work of the whole country to work hard and waste money is by no means a whimsical occurrence of the two kings. The meaning and purpose of the Tower of Babel in Babylon, like the Hanging Gardens, are clear and determined.

If the hanging garden is just for a smile, then Tongtian is more spiritual. According to the records in the Sheepskin Scrolls, the construction of the Tower of Babel was planned and constructed in detail, and was supervised by a special person. Thousands of skilled craftsmen, tens of thousands of slaves who could die at any time served the entire construction project.

The Tower of Babel has a large number of intricate design sketches, and even a rather detailed sand table model was built in advance.

The Archments describe the Tower of Babel sand table model with one word: lighthouse!

Lighthouse?

When Dongfang Chen saw this word, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Even ancient Babylon, which is far away in the valley of the two rivers, has been involved with Atlantis, and what else in this world cannot come true? If you don't know those epic legends, maybe they are all true, at least half of the credibility.

The ancient Babylonians called the model of the tower they were going to build a lighthouse. In other words, the Tower of Babel is modeled after the lighthouse in the center of Atlantis' capital. Because as early as the 5th century B.C., the concept of a lighthouse never existed in the known archaeological evidence of civilizations around the world. It wasn't until about 270 BC that Alexandria had the world's first lighthouse.

Prior to this, the word lighthouse only appeared in the traces of Atlantis legends. Through the appearance of a word in different times and places, Dongfang Chen quickly judged that the Amorites, who founded the kingdom of Babylon, were definitely the remnants of the Atlanteans, like the Phoenicians.

One of them is obsessed with the eternal light, and the other is willing to build a lighthouse at the cost of the country, which fully shows how much these people miss their former homeland and homeland. After so many years, the Atlantis plot in their hearts has not faded with the passage of time.

It was only at this time that Dongfang Chen really understood a sentence written by Prochys in that book: Atlantis, as an advanced and developed civilization, although it perished and disappeared, the Atlanteans did not become extinct, they spread along the coastline around the Atlantic, took root, and then flourished.

Many things are actually far simpler than you think!

Dongfang Chen's heart was surging, and he tried his best to connect all the clues in his mind, and slowly piece together the fragments of the truth to recover. After the excitement, he praised Hamed profusely, and then began to explain the next matters to this heartfelt subordinate.

He decided to go to Iraq himself!

Only by stepping on the land of the former Babylonian Kingdom, breathing the air that travels through time and space, and feeling the precipitation of history, can the time separated by thousands of years be brought closer.

A few days later, Dongfang Chen, dressed in a black robe, appeared in the dim Gobi Desert.

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand with his hands, and slowly rubbed it, feeling the desolate and rough feeling between his fingers.

Standing up, Dongfang Chen looked around the four fields, the light and shadow changed, time and space were chaotic, and pieces of oasis jungle suddenly appeared as far as his eyes pointed to, stretching towards the end of the horizon. The sound of rivers and springs vaguely echoed in my ears, and suddenly there was a lot of people, and all kinds of people appeared in turn, doing their own things and enjoying themselves. Sections of walls, houses, and buildings reflect each other, gradually connecting into one, countless romantic events, and endless joys and sorrows.

Hehe, who would have thought that in just over 2,000 years, the Garden of Eden, the place of praise of the gods, the place of mortal yearning, and the kingdom of Babylon, where civilization rose and flourished, has become what it is today.

Dongfang Chen woke up from his trance, all illusions disappeared, and looking at the vast wasteland, he had no choice but to sigh like this.

Wandering aimlessly in this land, from early morning to dusk, during which there were constantly passing locals looking at the tall black-robed man curiously, in addition to exchanging heads and ears, more than that, revealing a strong sense of vigilance and hostility.

This land has suffered too much bitterness and sorrow, countless foreign conquerors have come and gone, and in addition to plunder, there is only blankness and suffering for the people.

The night was falling, the west wind was howling, and a few lights were lit up in the dark night, and then, the dull roar was gradually approaching, and four RC exclusive tiltrotor transport planes landed behind Dongfang Chen, and one person hurriedly came down from one of the transport planes, it was Hamed.

Dongfang Chen seemed to be still immersed in reminiscence, until a "boss" pulled him back to reality.

Without looking back, he said, "Did you bring everything?"

Hamad said solemnly: "Everything is ready, you can rest assured." ”

Immediately, Dongfang Chen waved his hand, signaling that he could start, and then walked away in silence.

Hamad was a little overwhelmed and couldn't understand why his boss, who had always been optimistic and cheerful, was so depressed today that he didn't seem to want to talk to anyone.

But that's not something he's thinking about, and there's a lot more work waiting for him.

More than half an hour passed, Dongfang Chen looked at the busy staff and said softly: "Hand shovel, how is the progress?"

The hand shovel is the most basic and important tool for field archaeologists, and its meaning is the same as that of hands for people.

Dongfang Chen, as an expert who was once obsessed with archaeology, accompanies him with every day and night of his enthusiasm and thirst, and every hand shovel he has used is well preserved.

Unfortunately, a drastic change more than 20 years ago forced him to leave his beloved archaeological career and have to wander the world. Most of the things that have been kept as memorials have disappeared, leaving only two boxes of notes and books.

Now, Dongfang Chen is back to his old business, and because of his status, many things don't have to be done by him himself, or rather, there are more magical archaeological methods......
