Chapter 2834: Underground city

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
While speaking, Ye Tian had already arrived in front of the adobe house on the top of the mountain.
This adobe house was already crumbling at this time, and the doors and windows were in dilapidated condition. It seemed that as long as a strong wind could blow this adobe house directly down.
Ye Tian didn't enter the adobe house, but gently pushed the door open, and checked the situation inside.
The furnishings in the adobe room are simple, with a wooden bed and a wooden table, a gas tank and stove, a few cups and dishes, and a large tank for storing water. There is nothing else.
Obviously, this is a temporary residence for a nearby shepherd. It is used to escape the wind and sand, or to stay overnight. The contents are public, and whoever comes to use it.
Since no one has come here to pasture sheep for a long time and spend the night, this adobe house is unmaintained and is crumbling. Everything in the room is covered with a thick layer of sand, and there is no fresh water in the tank.
Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation in the room, and finally fell on a broken pottery piece under the table.
There was no cuneiform writing on the broken piece of pottery, and there was no exquisite decorative pattern. It looked ordinary.
But in Ye Tian's eyes, the broken pottery piece radiated a dazzling light. Like the Arab pinata in Joseph's hands, it was an antique relic from the Persian Empire in more than 400 BC.
Just because there is no cuneiform writing and exquisite decorations on this piece of broken pottery, it has no such great value, and naturally it can't enter Ye Tian's eyes!
Ye Tian's gaze stayed on the broken pottery for a while, and then he began to look through the ground of the adobe house to see what he could find.
It is a pity that, in addition to loess and gravel, some broken pottery pieces, fragments of buildings or sculptures, etc., appeared in his eyes. A complete tool was not found.
For this result, Ye Tian was not disappointed.
He immediately retracted his gaze, turned and left the adobe house, and walked toward the sheepfold at the downwind vent seven or eight meters away.
This sheep pen located on the hill was transformed by the shepherd using a natural depression on the top of the hill. It is a few meters lower than other places on the top of the hill, like a big bowl with the mouth facing upwards.
For the shepherds in the desert, there is no better place than this. Once a sandstorm blows up in the desert, they can't drive the sheep back to the oasis in time, so they can only escape the sand here.
As long as the sheep are driven into the sheep pen in time, there is no need to worry that the sandstorm will swallow the sheep, and this one's own sheep will be swept away in unknown places.
What they have to do is to shovel out the yellow sand that has fallen into the sheep pen after the sandstorm passes, so as not to let the yellow sand gradually fill the area and lose such a natural shelter.
In fact, there are indeed some traces of excavation around this sheepfold. The Arab pinata in Joseph's hands may have been dug out from here!
Ye Tian didn't go down to the sheep pen to check the situation. The thick layer of feces in the sheep pen and the smell of fishy smell that had not dissipated so far successfully stopped his footsteps.
But this does not prevent him from observing the situation here, nor does it prevent him from making a perspective and looking at the situation deeper underground.
When his gaze penetrated the dung in the sheepfold, as well as the thick soil and gravel, and went deep into the ground, a colorful underground world suddenly appeared in his vision.
To be precise, it was a small city buried deep underground.
In this city, he saw several houses swallowed by yellow sand, streets, and trees that had fallen to the ground and had already been charred.
And in those houses, there are some complete Arabic earthenware pots, which are almost exactly the same as the earthenware pot in Joseph's hands, and there are other furniture items, such as earthenware pots and the like.
In addition, in one of the larger houses, there are two marble sculptures and some metal objects, including weapons and agricultural tools, but the number is very small.
However, in these ancient houses and the surrounding areas, there are no human bones, not even animal bones. The people and animals living in this city seem to have suddenly disappeared!
The situation in this ancient city deep underground made Ye Tian start to think about it, and such a picture immediately appeared before his eyes.
At some time in more than 400 BC, a huge sandstorm suddenly blew up in this desert, covering the sky and the sun. Every city and tribe that the sandstorm passed through was instantly buried by yellow sand!
The people who originally lived in this city, or the Akkadian tribes who lived here, faced such apocalyptic disasters and could only migrate as a group.
People took their families with their mouths and drove their livestock and fled here in a hurry, fleeing desperately to the next oasis, trying to escape this huge disaster.
They fled in such a hurry that they even forgot to lock the door and did not carry the bottles and cans at home. They only took away the most basic living supplies, leaving everything else here.
Under the attack of that giant sandstorm, the city they lived in was instantly buried by yellow sand in the sky. The burial lasted more than two thousand years. Since then, no one has discovered this city again until today!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at other places in the sheepfold and continued to explore this ancient city buried deep underground.
What appeared in his eyes was still a dazzling light, which was fascinating.
Within a short period of time, he has seen five or six old houses one after another, saw many valuable antiques and cultural relics, and also saw the ancient civilizations that once existed on this land.
It is a pity that the area of ​​this sheepfold is not large. Except for other areas except the sheepfold, due to the thick soil layer, he cannot see the other parts of the underground city temporarily.
But this was enough, enough for him to make up his mind, and look for opportunities to cooperate with the Saudi government in the future to launch joint exploration operations to dig out this ancient city.
After exploring the situation under the sheepfold, Ye Tian turned and left here, ready to explore on the other side of the top of the mountain.
At this moment, Walker's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, sounding quite excited.
"Steven, we scanned some metal signals, which were scattered and buried at a depth of five or six meters underground. Judging from its shape, it seems to be an ancient weapon, and there are several."
Upon hearing the announcement, Ye Tian did not immediately respond. He first looked at the direction Walker and the others were in, and then at the sky, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Good job, Walker, I will go to your side immediately to see what you have found. In fact, what is buried under this small hill, I already have the answer in my heart!"
As he said, he walked to the place where Walker and the others were, and gave up the plan to explore the other side of the hill. There was no need for that!
At the same time, Peter's curious question came from the intercom.
"Steven, can you tell everyone what is buried under this hill? Is it an amazing treasure? Or something else?
One thing I don’t quite understand is that there are a lot of pottery fragments here. We just found a few pieces. Why did the Saudis turn a blind eye to them and did not start archaeological operations? "
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then gave his own answer.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be an ancient city buried deep underground in this small hill. The people who built this city are likely to be a certain Akkadian tribe from the Mesopotamia!
At some time in more than 400 BC, a giant sandstorm may have erupted here, which directly buried the city of the Akkadian people, and made this ancient civilization site perfectly preserved to this day!
Of course, this is only my guess, and it is not necessarily accurate. Only when we cooperate with the Saudi government to dig up this small hill can we know whether my guess is correct. This is worth looking forward to! "
Before the voice was over, there was a cry of exclamation on the intercom.
"Wow! There is an ancient city buried under this hill. It's amazing!"
"If this is true, then there is no doubt that the discovery of this Akkadian city will definitely cause quite a stir!"
It was naturally Peter and Walker who were exclaimed. These guys were all startled by Ye Tian's words~EbookFREE.me~ and they were all excited!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:
"As for why the Saudis ignored these ancient pottery fragments and did not launch exploration and archaeological activities here, one is because the archaeological consciousness is very weak, and the other is because the place is remote and the culture is very backward.
The area where we are now is the most remote and poorest province in Saudi Arabia. There is not much attention in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, it is adjacent to Yemen and it is turbulent all year round, and no one comes here anymore!
More importantly, the Saudis probably only see oil! Don't care about the so-called civilization relics in these remote corners. Don't forget, we are standing on the land with the richest oil reserves in the world! "
While speaking, Ye Tian had already walked down from the top of this small hill, and walked straight to Walker who was exploring halfway up the mountain!
