Chapter 3194: The link between 2 prehistoric civilizations

It was noon after visiting the Hassan II Mosque.
Ye Tian and the others did not return to the hotel, but chose a restaurant in the city where they had lunch.
After lunch, their group started to visit the city.
Unlike other company employees, Ye Tian didn't pay much attention to the scenery of the city because he had been to Casablanca last year.
He is more focused on the museums, antique shops and galleries, and antiques thrift markets scattered throughout the city.
After lunch, he went to two antique stores and a gallery.
Although the two antique shops and a gallery also had some antiques and artworks, they didn't miss them, and there were no top items that could make him tempted.
In the blink of an eye, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, Ye Tian was visiting an antique shop, admiring the items displayed here with great interest.
This antique store is small in scale, but it sells a variety of things.
Among them are all kinds of goods in the Arab style of North Africa, as well as goods from Europe and the United States, as well as modern handicrafts and tourist souvenirs, as well as handicrafts and so on.
If you only judge from the characteristics of the appearance of the goods, the goods here cover a wide range.
From the Stone Age to modern times, antique artifacts and works of art from all historical eras can be seen here.
As for the authenticity of these so-called antique cultural relics and works of art, it is a matter of opinion, and the buyer's eyesight will be tested.
While Ye Tian was visiting the goods in the antique shop, the owner of the antique shop was always by his side, introducing him to the things in the shop.
Although the Moroccan antique dealer appeared relaxed, the stiff smile and body movements on his face, as well as the worried eyes, showed that he was still nervous.
Obviously, he is also worried that he will be ransacked, become the next unlucky person, and become the object of being ridiculed by others.
Being laughed at, as embarrassing as it is, is not the most important thing.
Relatively speaking, he was more worried that he would miss out on some priceless treasure. Losing it was probably the biggest chance to make a fortune in his life.
In that case, it would definitely be regrettable to jump the Atlantic.
Fortunately, since Ye Tian entered this antique shop, it has been until now.
Although he inquired about the situation of several antique cultural relics and works of art, he never asked about the price, just to find out.
In other words, he did not show the slightest willingness to buy.
His performance made the antique shop owner a little depressed and tangled.
Don't you have a good thing in your store? So this guy Steven didn't even bother to ask about the price.
While speaking, Ye Tian had come to the deepest shelf in this antique store.
He glanced at the so-called antique relics on the shelf, but his eyes finally fell on the half stone pillar on the floor.
This half-stone pillar is about fifty centimeters high and twenty-five centimeters in diameter. It should be part of a taller stone pillar, and the fractures are crisscrossed.
There are very obvious traces of seawater erosion on its surface, which should have been salvaged from the sea, and the surface is uneven, pitted, and some traces left by collisions.
Even so, on this half of the stone pillar, you can still see some strange patterns, as well as a few scattered symbols of unknown meaning, which look more like some graffiti.
These strange patterns and symbols have nothing to do with the Phoenician civilization, ancient Greek and ancient Roman civilization, and later Arab and North African civilizations that once existed on this land.
It seems to have nothing to do with the most famous ancient Egyptian civilization on the African land.
Seeing the half stone pillar, Ye Tian couldn't help but paused.
Immediately afterwards, he squatted down and began to look at the stone pillar and the unknown patterns and symbols carved on the stone pillar.
The following Yahya and Paul taught them, and they also looked at the half stone pillar curiously.
It's a pity that everyone didn't find anything, and Ye Tian did the same.
The owner of the antique shop also looked at the stone pillar, trying to see something, but found nothing.
After examining the entire body of the stone pillar, Ye Tian paused for a moment, and then asked aloud:
"Dude, can you tell me the origin of this half of the stone pillar? Where did it come from? Is there any story? Have you studied the patterns and symbols on the stone pillar, and what do they mean?"
Hearing the question, the antique shop owner was stunned for a moment.
He didn't respond immediately, but looked at the half of the stone pillar again, confused.
But he still found nothing, and immediately said:
"Mr. Steven, I don't know much about this half of the stone pillar. I bought it from a market by the sea. The reason why I bought it is because of these patterns and symbols.
According to the person who sold the stone pillar, it was fished from the bottom of the sea when they were fishing, and the half of the stone pillar also destroyed one of their fishing nets, but they did not record the specific location of the salvage."
Hearing this, the eyes of Professor Paul, Ye Haiya and the others suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
Could this half-stone pillar be related to the legendary Atlantis? There seems to be such a possibility.
You must know that the legendary Atlantis sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean during the earthquake and flood in ancient times!
Thinking of this, they all looked at the half stone pillar of unknown origin again, and everyone's eyes lit up.
At the same time, the antique shop owner was still introducing the situation.
"After receiving this half-stone pillar, I also checked some information to see what these patterns and symbols represent, what era or where they came from, but unfortunately I found nothing.
[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】
Later, I asked some friends in the industry to see this half of the stone pillar. They didn't find anything. They don't know where it came from. Mr. Steven, did you see something? "
Ye Tian didn't answer immediately, but looked at the half of the stone pillar again, and then fell into contemplation.
After a while, he shook his head and said:
"Like you, I haven't found anything, and I can't determine the origin of this half of the stone pillar, but what is certain is that its history is indeed very long.
Is this half of the ancient stone pillar worthwhile? I'm not sure, but I think it's interesting, I want to buy it, go back and study it, and give me a quotation."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the antique shop owner.
"what!"
The antique shop owner exclaimed and looked again at the half unknown stone pillar.
However, this thing has not changed in the slightest, and has not given the slightest new revelation.
After hesitating for a moment, he made an offer:
"Mr. Steven, the price of this half stone pillar is thirty thousand dollars. If you can accept the price, you can take this thing and take it back to study."
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Man, your asking price is too high, I can't accept it, I can't give you thirty thousand dollars for such a broken stone pillar of unknown origin.
If it's a remnant of an old sculpture, I might be okay with it, but it's just a piece of architecture, and I can only give $2,000 at most."
"Two thousand dollars, that's too low!"
The antique shop owner muttered, but a look of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Compared with the price of buying the half stone pillar by himself, the price of two thousand dollars is more than twenty times higher.
If measured from the perspective of multiples, as long as the half of the stone pillar is successfully sold, it will be a huge profit.
However, antique shop owners are not satisfied with the benefits.
This is also normal, who would think that too much money bites the hand? What's more, the other party is one of the world's top super-rich, how can such an opportunity be missed?
After thinking for a moment, the antique shop owner gave the answer.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Steven, I really can't accept this price. I can make a little concession, but the minimum is $20,000"
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately shook his head.
"Man, our differences are too big, so forget it. I hope you can meet a buyer who knows the goods and sell it for a good price!"
After speaking, he looked at another item next to him.
The antique shop opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Ye Haiya and other Moroccans who were also at the scene were eager to try, but in the end they didn't make a move.
What if this is a trap that Steven this guy deliberately dug? Don't be fooled yourself!
The series of tragic incidents that happened at the Rabat Antique and Flea Market are still vivid in my mind, and the smell of blood has not yet dissipated!
It is said that someone spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that day, but bought a bunch of worthless ordinary antiques and works of art, even fakes, and they vomited blood!
The reason why that guy was so unlucky was because he was staring at Steven and wanted to stop halfway, but he was tricked by this cunning guy and vomited blood!
Thinking of this, how could Ye Haiya and the others dare to take action so easily!
To them, $20,000 is no small sum.
After walking around the antique shop for a while, Ye Tian said goodbye and left, taking David and the others out of the antique shop.
Until he walked out of the store, he didn't mention the matter of buying the half of the stone pillar, as if the person who asked the price just now was not him, and there was no such thing at all.
The antique shop owner hesitated several times, but in the end he didn't say anything until Ye Tian and the others went out.
Although they left the antique shop, Ye Tian and the others did not leave the street.
Not far from this antique shop, there is a gallery that looks quite sophisticated.
Ye Tian and the others walked to the gallery while joking and chatting.
The antique shop owner stood at the door of his shop and watched Ye Tian and the others. He wanted to raise his hand and shout several times, but he finally held back.
When Ye Tian and the others walked out of fifty or sixty meters, the antique shop owner just returned to the shop to study the half unknown stone pillar!
At the same time, Yahya also asked in a low voice:
"Steven, what secret is hidden on that half of the stone pillar? Is it related to the legendary Atlantis, that's why you want to buy it"
Ye Tian turned to look at the old friend, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"You think too much, Ye Haiya, I can't be sure of the origin of that half of the stone pillar. It may be worth a little, or it may be worthless, I just want to study it.
If you are interested in the half stone pillar, you can go back and buy it, and then study it slowly, without any worries, maybe you can harvest a treasure! "
Ye Haiya froze for a moment, then shook her head.
"I'll forget it. I don't have any research on this kind of thing, and I can't see anything. I don't know where to buy it and put it back, let alone research the secret behind it!"
Ye Tian just smiled and said nothing.
The rest of the people did the same, and didn't ask any more questions about the half of the stone pillar.
While talking, everyone had come to the door of the gallery, pushed the door and walked in.
After about twenty minutes, they came out of the gallery, ready to get into the car and leave the street.
Compared to when they walked into the gallery just now, they already had a landscape oil painting in their hands.
But it was not Ye Tian, ​​nor his staff and security staff who carried the oil painting, but Professor Kane.
The size of this oil painting is not large, it is a modern landscape oil painting, it was made by a young Moroccan artist, and its value is relatively average.
The scenery he painted is exactly the scenery of Casablanca, and it is also very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
The reason why Professor Kane bought this oil painting was to take it back to his wife as a gift for this trip to Casablanca.
His wife is a big fan of the classic love movie "Casablanca" and originally wanted to travel with her in Casablanca.
As a result, the plan had to be cancelled because of the Howard kidnapping.
When buying this modern landscape oil painting, Ye Tian also gave some advice, and Professor Kane just made his move.
After coming out of the gallery, the group of them was about to leave by car.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, do you still want that half of the stone pillar? I've decided that I can sell you that antique artifact for two thousand dollars."
No need to ask, it was the previous antique shop owner who came.
Everyone turned their heads to see that the antique shop owner was standing on the sidewalk a few meters away with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Obviously, during the period of time just now, he must have consulted with someone, and even asked relevant professionals for appraisal through video calls.
Unfortunately, the identification results are not optimistic, and there is no new discovery.
That's why he came here, wanting to sell the half of the stone pillar of unknown origin to Ye Tian, ​​so as not to keep pressing it in his own hands.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this one, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course there is no problem. Since you can accept the price of two thousand dollars, then I am willing to accept this half stone pillar of unknown origin and take it back to study it!"
"Very good, Mr. Steven, the two thousand dollar deal, that half of the stone pillar belongs to you!"
The antique shop owner stepped forward and shook hands with Ye Tian, ​​lest he regret it.
After finalizing the transaction of antiques and cultural relics, Ye Tian instructed a fellow employee and a security team to drive a bulletproof SUV to the antique store to pick up the half stone pillar.
He himself and David and the others stayed here, joking and chatting while they waited.
After a while, the half of the stone pillar was retrieved, but the antique shop owner did not follow.
Seeing the bulletproof SUV coming back, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone at the scene:
"Gentlemen, this antique and cultural relic transaction has been completed, we can leave, go to other places, and then we can go back to the hotel"
After that, he was ready to get in the car.
At this moment, Professor Paul suddenly said:
"Steven, I always feel that this half of the stone pillar is a bit strange, or it looks a little familiar, but I can't remember life or death, where have I seen this kind of thing?
Does this half-stone pillar hide some secret? It was inconvenient for you to say it just now, can you tell everyone now? I'd love to know more"
Ye Tian paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"You're right, Professor Paul, this half of the stone pillar of unknown origin is indeed a bit strange, and it looks familiar, and I felt the same way when I first saw it.
After analysis, I did find some hidden secrets, which is a very interesting thing, which may reveal the connection between the two legendary prehistoric civilizations.
On this half-stone pillar, there are four or five strange symbols of unknown meaning, but if you turn these strange symbols upside down and combine them, you will find surprising new discoveries.

"Ah! Turn those strange symbols upside down? Why didn't I think of it just now!"
Professor Paul exclaimed.
The other experts and scholars were also stunned for a moment, and then a look of remorse flashed in their eyes!
Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"Starting at the base of the stone pillar, drawing a spiral that turns to the right connects these strange symbols and combines them in top-to-bottom order.
As a result, you will find that they can form a very old and obscure text. In fact, the bottom of this half stone pillar is actually the top of a stone pillar.
That is to say, the original stone pillar was broken from the top. After being salvaged out of the water, people habitually put it upside down on the ground, which led to the solidification of cognition.
After forming such an inherent thinking, coupled with the lack of archaeological knowledge and lack of experience, the antique shop owner and his friends are naturally unlikely to have any important discoveries.
In fact, even if they turned the half stone pillar upside down, it would be difficult to discover the secret. The reason is very simple, because the text composed of these symbols has not been deciphered.
These symbols are composed of mysterious ancient Mayan characters. I have only seen the same characters on the Mayan Fourth Sun prophecy column, that is, the Zondrik prophecy column! "
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded and froze in place, dumbfounded!
After a while, Professor Douglas suddenly muttered to himself.
"Yes, the combination of those strange symbols is indeed an ancient Mayan script, and that ancient Mayan script is engraved on the top of the Mayan Fourth Sun prophecy column, and we haven't deciphered it yet!"
Following his words, everyone was awakened.
Immediately afterwards, the scene immediately boiled.
"My God! Why do stone pillars with ancient Mayan characters appear on the coast of Morocco on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean? This is incredible, it's a fantasy!"
"Don't tell me that the Zondriric civilization of the Fourth Sun in the Mayan legend is the legendary Atlantis civilization. This is really incredible!"
Everyone exclaimed, all excited.
Of course, Ye Haiya's hearts were dripping blood madly, and they all wanted to give themselves a shot in the head!
Why didn't you take action just now and buy this priceless treasure? It's utterly stupid!
Before waiting for the exclamations to fall, Ye Tian already smiled and said in a low voice:
"Gentlemen, this discovery is no trivial matter, it may shock the world, and even rewrite the history of civilization, but this is not the place to discuss this matter, there are many media reporters nearby, and the gallery owner is also here. !"
As he said that, he pointed to the media reporters who were fighting against the long guns and short guns and kept shooting here, and the gallery owner with a dull face not far away.
Before he could finish speaking, Professor Paul and the others stopped their conversations in unison, as if someone suddenly caught their necks.
Immediately afterwards, these guys whispered in unison:
"Steven, let's go back to the hotel directly, don't go shopping elsewhere, what can be more important than this priceless treasure.
When we return to the hotel, we must study this half-stone pillar carefully. This discovery is really shocking and incredible! "
"Okay, gentlemen, since everyone is so eager, let's go back to the hotel immediately. To be honest, I also really want to study this half-stone pillar carefully!"
With that said, Ye Tian had already opened the car door and boarded the bulletproof SUV parked beside him.
The rest of the people also got into the car quickly, one by one impatiently.
Then, these bulletproof SUVs started with a bang, drove off the street, and headed straight for the hotel!
Just as they were leaving, the gallery owner finally came to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, the guy took out his mobile phone and started making calls.
As soon as the call was connected, the guy started yelling.
"My God! That lucky guy, Steven, just discovered an antique artifact about Atlantis"
Before he finished speaking, those media reporters who were running towards this side suddenly stopped in place as if they had been immobilized! Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
