Chapter 535
As soon as the small drone flew into the cave, a strangely shaped stone statue appeared on the surveillance screen.
This is a statue of a muskrat-headed person, about twenty or thirty centimeters high, carved into the stone wall on the inside of the cave entrance, and connected to the stone wall.
In the hands of this statue, a stone axe is tightly held, and it is about to split, as if it is going to slash at the person who rushes into the cave.
On the opposite stone wall, a statue of a coyote head is carved, with a hideous face and a spear in his hand.
Obviously, this statue is also guarding the entrance of the cave.
"Wow! What is this? There
was an exclamation at the scene.
The next moment, Professor Baker gave the answer.
"This statue of the muskrat-headed human body is the original human being in the myth and legend of the Algonchin people, born from the marriage of the great god Michapo and the muskrat
" "The Massachusetts is a branch of the Algonchin people, and this muskrat-headed human statue can also be regarded as one
of the totems of the Massachusetts" "The statue of the coyote-headed person on the opposite
side is another totem of the Massachusetts" "The existence of these two totem statues is enough to show, This underground rift is extremely important, and it is likely to be a sacred place for the Massachusetts people,"
he explained, and the scene was again agitated.
Several professors of history who knew something about the North American Indians nodded frequently.
At the same time, their envious eyes were red.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then nodded at Haipeng, who was the first small drone pilot.
Receiving the command, Haipeng immediately operated the first small drone to fly deep into the cave.
Next, various patterns and statues carved into the walls of the cave appeared one by one on the large-screen TV.
Among these motifs and statues, there are various strangely shaped animal figures.
Or animal head human body, or human head animal body, or a combination of two or three animals, and so on.
In addition, there are many stone murals on the walls around the cave.
The content of these murals includes scenes of hunting, farming, war, sacrifice and so on.
Whether it is a statue or a mural, these things in the cave are very exaggerated and exude a strange and eerie smell.
In particular, several pictures of human martyrdom look even more numb and creepy.
That's it, and there is still no effect when cleaning up.
If you wipe away the dust and moss on those statues and murals, the feeling they give will be even more shocking.
Looking at these pictures, most people in the live and live broadcast rooms felt cold air in their backs.
Professor Baker and the others, who were also at the scene, shone with excitement.
They understand that this unknown underground world is of great archaeological value.
By studying the things in this underground world, it should be possible to restore the living conditions of North American Indians hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.
The discovery of this underground world will surely cause a huge sensation in the North American historiography.
As he spoke, the second small drone also flew into the mouth of the cave and flew straight into the depths of the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the first small drone has flown through a hole more than four meters deep.
At the other end of this cave connected to the ground, two more guardian stone statues appeared.
On the left is a bear-headed statue and on the right is a statue of an eagle-headed figure.
The shape of these two statues is also very exaggerated and strange, each holding a stone rod, guarding the inner cave entrance.
When the first small drone flew past these two guardian stone statues, the vision ahead suddenly opened up.
A winding, dark underground crack immediately appeared on the big-screen TV.
This underground crack is less than two meters wide and extends north and south.
As Xiao Ran said before, the surface of this underground crack is crisscrossed by ravines, and there are many large and small caves.
The sounds of ghosts crying wolves that came from the ground before were caused by the air flow blowing through these places.
Just like in the previous caves, there are also many statues and other things in this underground crack.
But the difference is that these stone statues, mostly made of gold, are placed in caves.
When searchlights shone on these caves, a brilliant golden light flashed immediately on the large-screen television in the church.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the scene and the live broadcast room was stunned and stunned.
After a few moments, everyone came to their senses.
"Me! Dude, right? Those large and small caves are full of golden statues
" "Could it be that this underground crack is full of gold, if this is the case, wouldn't Xiao Ran be crazy!"
The Akinayama welder exclaimed.
Not only him, but several live broadcast rooms instantly seemed to open a pot, and the exclamations rose and fell one after another.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then replied in a low voice in Mandarin: "
You are not mistaken, it is indeed a golden statue, and now they all belong to buddies!"
"Unlike other civilizations and races in the world, in the world of Indians, precious metals such as gold are only used for sacrifice
, not currency" "North America is rich in gold, and it is not surprising that a large amount of gold is found in this underground crack"
With his words, several live broadcast rooms suddenly became more lively.
At this time, the interior of the church is also very lively.
The appearance of these Indian golden statues shocked everyone at the scene and made everyone exclaim.
Throughout the ages, gold is the most crazy thing.
Everyone who was on the scene was no exception.
After the shock, Professor Samuel suddenly said:
"It seems that this is the unknown colonial treasure, all from the Indians antique art and gold and silver treasures
" "But one thing I don't quite understand, since the British have already discovered this place, then why not swept this treasure away, but left it here?"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at this old friend, and then said with a smile:
"The reason is very simple, such an amazing treasure, the British who found them, may not be willing to offer this treasure to the English king
" "In this case, they must keep it strictly secret, and even if they are guilty, they may not dare to take out so much gold at once
" "In that case, they will undoubtedly put themselves in danger, don't end up not getting the treasure, Hearing
this, everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with this inference.
The reason is simple, if they get this treasure, they will not be willing to give it to the US government.
After a few more conversations, everyone looked at the big screen TV again.
By this time, a second small aircraft had also flown over the underground crack.
Then, the two small planes split into the left and right sides, slowly flew close to the stone walls on both sides of the crack, and began to explore up close.
As they flew close to the stone wall, the golden statues placed in the cave suddenly became clearer.
These gold statues are all antique artifacts in the Indian style, with exaggerated and eerie shapes, and even give people an eerie feeling.
Although these gold statues are rough made, they have a special taste and are very good antique artifacts.
In addition to the golden statues, there are many stone carved frescoes on the stone walls on both sides of the crack in the ground.
The content depicted in these murals is the scene of Indian life, hunting, and sacrifice, etc., which is of great research value, but it is not clear to see.
Looking at these exaggerated golden statues, everyone at the scene became even more excited.
Especially those history professors were even more excited.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said
: "Haipeng, do you see the slightly larger cave on the right, do you want to put a fluorescent lighting rod in
it" "Then you guys along this underground crack, explore to both sides, see how long this underground crack is
" The words fell, Haipeng immediately nodded and replied:
"Okay, leave it to me, it will be done soon"
Said, this guy took action.
Under his control, the small drone located deep underground slowly approached the cave that Xiao Ranzheng was talking about.
The next moment, the small drone carefully flew into that cave.
Then he put down a fluorescent lighting stick and then withdrew.
Immediately afterwards, two small drones flew to the sides of the crack, ready to probe the length of the crack.
At this moment, John suddenly came to Xiao Ran's side and whispered to him:
"Sean, if there is a large amount of gold hidden in this underground crack, several of our families are willing to fund the purchase of this batch of
gold" "Other antique cultural relics other than gold, as long as the quality is good, we are also willing to buy"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately turned off the live broadcast microphone.
After a little thought, he nodded and said:
"Of course, no problem, John, if there is a large amount of gold hidden in this treasure, I obviously can't take them away, and the US government does not allow it
" "You have the right of first refusal, and I am happy to sell some of the antique artifacts and gold to you, but only a part, not all" "The remaining antique artifacts and gold
products, I tend to trade them for some top Chinese antique art, that's what I want most,"
John paused, not responding immediately.
Matthew, Professor Samuel and the others standing on the side suddenly lit up their eyes.
Whether it is the Museum of Art in Boston or Harvard University, there are many top Chinese antique artworks.
Take out part of it for exchange, naturally there is no problem.
After a pause, John nodded and said:
"Okay, Sean, I understand your thoughts, and I hope we can make this deal"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"There's also a premise here that Yale's interests must be secured,"
and while they were whispering, two small drones had figured out the length of this underground crack.
The top part of this underground fissure is about 50 meters long, and it is winding and narrowing on both sides.
As for the length of the depth of this underground crack, it is not known for the time being, and further exploration is needed.
The deeper widths have previously been detected by deep ground penetrating radar.
In terms of width, this underground crack is spindle-shaped, with the widest in the middle and narrower ends above and below.
In addition, on both sides of this ground fissure, there are many gold statues and stone carved murals.
However, compared to the entrance of the cave, it is gradually reduced, and the degree of elaboration seems to be slightly worse.
After determining the length of this underground crack, Xiao Ran asked two drone pilots to place a fluorescent lighting stick on each side.
Later, they were allowed to fly small drones deeper into the crack.
The next moment, a brilliant but strange underground world immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
