Chapter 2404: Modern Maya

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
As everyone knows, when the convoy drove into Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, what appeared in front of everyone was a dilapidated city.
Tegucigalpa's name comes from the Indian word, meaning Silver Mountain. As the name suggests, there is a very rich reserve of silver.
However, silver, a precious metal, has not brought prosperity to the city, nor has it brought a better life to the people here.
As early as 2013, the city of Tegucigalpa had gone bankrupt and was reduced to the auction of city property, but there were very few applicants.
This is a city with a long history. The history of the city can be traced back to the middle of the sixteenth century. Because of the large amount of silver, this city was once glorious. It was once one of the three richest cities in Central America.
In this city on the foothills, the Cholutka River passes through the city, dividing the city in two.
The right bank of the river is the old city, which is densely populated with commercial and administrative centers and residential areas. The streets of the old city are relatively narrow, the buildings are soft in color, and the balconies of residents are mostly suspended.
On the left bank of the river is the new city, the terrain is flat, mostly modern high-rise buildings, the parliament building, central bank, presidential palace are all here.
More than 50% of the people living in this city are Meztisos, the others are Indians, Muratos, Sambo people, blacks and whites. The vast majority are Catholics and the residents speak Spanish.
After the convoy drove into Tegucigalpa, Ye Tian and the others looked through the car window to enjoy the not so beautiful scenery outside.
The people on the streets of Tegucigalpa are also watching this huge convoy.
It can be seen that many people on the streets have anger and even hatred in their eyes.
Of course, what many people show in their eyes is naked jealousy and greed, which cannot be concealed.
And all of this stems from poverty and the desire for wealth.
In addition to ordinary Tegucigalpa citizens, Ye Tian also saw many Indians wearing national costumes and even holding spear shields, or perhaps modern Mayans, on the streets.
Unlike the Indians of North America, the Indians here are slightly thinner and have a darker complexion, which tends to be of Latin American descent.
When these Indians saw this huge convoy driving by, they would raise their arms high, wave the spear or Teng shield in their hands, and shout angrily.
Some of them even put on an attacking posture, appearing very unfriendly.
In addition, on the streets of Tegucigalpa, Ye Tian also saw a lot of unpredictable guys, one by one staring at this huge convoy, everyone's eyes flashed with greed.
Among these guys, there are local gangsters in Honduras, professional treasure hunters and explorers from all over the world, mercenaries of unknown origin, and drug dealers and addicts everywhere in the Americas.
Obviously, these guys already know that Ye Tian and his colleagues from Columbia University have arrived in Honduras, and the action to explore the treasures of the Mayan Empire’s Golden City will begin soon.
Just from the greedy eyes of these guys when looking at the caravan, one can tell at a glance that these guys are all coming for the treasures of the Mayan Empire Golden City, and there is no good thing.
Looking at the picture outside the car window, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"The situation in Honduras is far worse than I thought. Looking at the people on the street, almost everyone has anger and hatred in their eyes, as well as greed and madness.
Their anger and hatred are obviously directed at the Honduran authorities. People are living in water and heat. It is not surprising that they hate the authorities. The Honduran authorities are indeed useless.
However, the greed and madness in the eyes of those outside should be directed at us, at the treasures of the Mayan Empire Golden City. As soon as we arrived here, we became the target of public criticism."
David, who was also sitting in the SUV, turned his head and looked at the street view outside the car window, and then said:
"When people are ragged and can't have enough food, hatred and crime will naturally arise. The people who hate and even want revenge are those in power who usually dominate and override themselves.
In such a country, it suddenly broke out that somewhere is likely to hide a shocking treasure. Can people not be crazy about it? It’s no surprise that we, who came to explore this treasure, became the target of public criticism."
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said solemnly:
"Yes, it seems that this joint exploration operation will encounter a lot of trouble. We must be more cautious and beware of everything."
While talking, the convoy had passed a bridge over the Choluteka River and entered the new urban area of ​​Tegucigalpa.
As soon as the team got off the bridge, Cole's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headset.
"Steven, there was an unexpected situation. The Honduran opposition party came forward and organized the chiefs of the most important Maya tribes in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. They suddenly rushed to the hotel we booked.
In addition to a dozen tribal chiefs, these chiefs also brought many young people from their respective tribes, and each of them carried traditional weapons, such as throwing axes, daggers, and spears. Many people from the Honduran opposition also came.
Encouraged by several opposition lawmakers, those modern Mayans from all over the country and many people who support the opposition have surrounded the hotel, protested and demonstrated, and demanded an interview with you.
Like the original demands of the Indians in North America, the modern Mayans claimed to be descendants of the ancient Mayans, and the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire should belong to them and demanded the treasures.
This protest demonstration came very suddenly. After we left the airport, these guys rushed out of the streets and quickly gathered to the hotel where we stayed to start a protest demonstration.
According to the careful observation of several guys at the scene, the people who organized and encouraged this protest are all from the Honduran opposition party. Those guys mingled in the crowd and kept bewitching the Mayans."
Hearing this announcement, Ye Tian couldn't help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Without hesitation for a moment, he immediately sneered and said:
"Needless to ask, those modern Mayans came for the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, dreaming of making a fortune, and from then on completely changing their lives and living a prosperous life.
And the Honduran opposition party, which is secretly thriving in trouble, is not only for the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, but also for the President of Honduras and the ruling party ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has no small ambitions.
Cole, report the situation to the official Honduran officials, let them solve it, and see how they deal with the Mayans and political enemies. Let's not wade in this muddy water.
You can clearly tell them that if these things cannot be settled, this time the tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of the Mayan Empire’s Golden City can only press the pause button.
If possible, it is best not to use force to solve the problem. As soon as we arrived in Honduras, we clashed with the local Maya, which was obviously not conducive to the next action.
As for the chiefs of the Maya tribe, I can meet with them under the condition of ensuring safety. In fact, I also want to understand the living conditions of the modern Maya."
"Understood, Steven, I will notify the official Honduran representative."
Cole responded and moved on.
Ye Tian, ​​who was in the car, smiled and said to David:
"David, have a good show!"
