Chapter 3088: The second gold candlestick

About an hour later.
Four Israeli exploration team members wearing full protective equipment descended from the cliff on the west side of the castle and entered the secret cave.
After entering the cave, these guys were cautious and began to explore step by step.
Using the surveillance cameras they wear with them and two small drones leading the way in front, Ye Tian commanded the exploratory operation through surveillance video on the ground.
"Guys, there is a crack on the ground three meters ahead. The crack is not wide, but you still have to be careful, don't step on the crack, and be careful if there is a poisonous snake hidden inside!"
Ye Tian said through the walkie-talkie.
At this moment, he is holding an ipad in his hand, and what is displayed on it is the real-time exploration screen.
What appeared on the video screen was a dark and humid cave and several powerful searchlights.
The cave is rugged, rugged, and winding. The walls and ceiling on both sides of the cave are covered with moss, which is very slippery.
The situation on the ground is the same. From time to time, some green snakeskin will appear, which makes the scalp numb.
The four Israeli exploration team members who entered the cave to explore, lined up in a row, and proceeded cautiously under the leadership of the small drone in front.
For safety, a safety rope is tied to each of them.
These safety ropes lead to the ruins of the ancient castle on the top of the cliff and are tied to the trunks of several big trees. They are very strong, and several security team members are staring at the scene.
In addition, the four exploratory team members are tied to each other with a safety rope, closely linked.
In this way, even if someone stumbles, they will not fall into the gaps in the cave, or fall into some covered caves, and the person who stumbles will be instantly caught by the other three people.
"Received, Steven, we see the crack"
The leader of the Israeli exploration team responded.
As he said, he picked up a green snakeskin in front of him with a trekking pole.
Along the way, they had already picked up how many green snake skins.
Fortunately, they have not encountered a living Night Demon Snake so far.
As for the snake eggs of the Night Demon Snake, they have found a lot, but those things are not threatening.
The Axum city officials who also watched the real-time exploration screen saw the snake eggs of the Night Demon Snake, but their faces were pale.
He has reported the situation here.
When this joint exploration operation is over, Axum is likely to immediately block the mountain, and then burn this terrifying snake cave completely to prevent future troubles.
While talking, the Israeli exploration team members had come to the crevice in the cave and looked down at the crevice.
The gap was about 15 centimeters wide and about a meter long. It was dark inside. No one knew what was hidden.
The width of the gap does not allow a person to fall in, but it is enough to jam the leg of a person's foot, making it impossible to move.
In such a crisis-ridden cave, if people who come to explore are stuck here and no one is rescued, it will be over!
In the unlikely event that there are a few Night Demon snakes hidden in this gap, those who are stuck will undoubtedly die.
Several Israeli exploratory team members checked the crevice, then cautiously walked around and continued to move forward.
It didn't go far, it was just a turn, followed by a long uphill.
The key point is that the ground of this cave is slippery and it is difficult for people to stand up.
Fortunately, there are many raised stalagmites here, which can be used to borrow strength, plus the ropes they carry with them, it is not difficult to conquer this cave.
Several Israeli exploratory team members stopped and rested here for a while to recover their strength.
At the same time, Ye Tian also introduced the skills of passing through this cave.
"Guys, you use the rope to trap the stalagmite protruding from the ground three meters above the slope, and then grab the rope to the side of the stalagmite and stop there."
"Received, Steven, we know how to do it"
The lead explorer responded.
After a short break, the team leader unfastened a safety rope from his waist and quickly made a noose.
Afterwards, he took aim, and the probing hand threw the noose at the raised stalagmite.
Unbiased, the noose fits right on the stalagmite and hangs firmly.
The team leader immediately tightened the noose and tried the firmness. It was still very reliable.
After confirming that there was no problem, the team leader took the safety rope and walked up first.
During the ascent, his feet kept slipping, but with the aid of the safety rope, he quickly reached the stalagmite three meters above.
After arriving there, he used another stalagmite next to him to stabilize his figure.
Next, three other exploratory team members also came up one after another and came to this position.
When they got together, Ye Tian's next instructions came from the walkie-talkie.
"Guys, there is a stalagmite protruding from the ground at about two meters, five or six meters above your right. Continue to follow the method just now, and the small drone will guide the target."
Before the words fell, a small drone flew over and hovered not far from the upper right of several exploratory team members.
Under the small drone, there is a stalagmite protruding from the ground.
After specifying the target, the small drone flew upwards.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Israeli exploration team took off the noose, aimed at the target, and then threw the noose in his hand!
...
Soon, more than half an hour passed.
After a difficult trek, the Israeli four-person exploratory team finally arrived at the location of the treasure without any risk.
The so-called location of the treasure is the cave under Ye Tian and the others. The metal objects found before are hidden here.
At this point, everyone in the Israeli exploratory team was in a panic, but there was no surprise.
After entering this cave, they saw the metal objects at a glance.
Afterwards, several of them cautiously stepped forward and began to clean up.
They first observed the situation at the scene and determined that it was safe. Then they picked out the green snake skins on the metal objects and threw the snake skins aside.
Afterwards, they began to clean the dust and moss on the metal objects.
The first goal of the cleanup is the seven-branched candlestick on the outermost periphery of the platform.
As the dust and moss on the seven-branched candlestick were gently wiped off, a golden light flashed in the cave, extremely dazzling.
The same is true on the real-time live broadcast screen, with golden light shining brightly.
No matter the several exploratory team members in the cave or the others on the ground, they were all shocked by this scene.
"Oh my God! This is a seven-branched gold candlestick. It's so dazzling! Is this the seven-branched gold candlestick in Solomon's Treasure?"
"Wow! If this seven-branched gold candlestick really comes from Jerusalem, then there is no doubt that these metal objects are part of Solomon's treasure!"
The people on the ground watching the real-time exploration screen all exclaimed.
The four Israeli exploration team members who cleaned the seven-branched golden candlestick underground were even more excited, their eyes shining, and their bodies trembling slightly.
As Israelis, they know exactly what the seven-branched golden candlestick means.
That is a symbol of Israel and one of the symbols of the Jews!
Among all the seven-branched candlesticks, the most precious is the seven-branched gold candlestick once enshrined in Solomon's Temple, which is one of the sacred objects in the hearts of the Israelites.
Just as everyone exclaimed, Anthony suddenly said in surprise:
"Steven, the seven-branched gold candlestick that was once enshrined in Solomon's Temple, haven't we found it in Portugal? It's hidden in the treasure of the Knights Templar.
What happened to this seven-branched golden candlestick deep underground? The same seven-branched gold candlestick, is there two in Solomon's Temple, and one has fallen here? "
Hearing this, everyone was suddenly stunned.
It wasn't until this time that everyone remembered.
According to legend, the seven-branched gold candlestick that was enshrined in Solomon’s Temple was long ago found by the Brave Fearless Exploration Company and sold it to the Israelis for a lot of money.
After appraisal by many top antiques and cultural relics experts, many historians, and archaeologists, there is no problem with the sacred object, and it is indeed from the Temple of Solomon.
In that case, what happened to the seven-branched golden candlestick hidden in this underground cave? Is it a fake?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled softly, then said:
"Guys, I don't know that there is still a seven-branched gold candlestick hidden here. Anthony may be right. There may be two seven-branched gold candlesticks in Solomon's Temple, one of which has fallen here.
Of course, there is also such a possibility! This seven-branched gold candlestick is an imitation. The copy is exactly the seven-branched gold candlestick we found in Tomar, Portugal, but the imitation is very early.
They were most likely made in the same period. One is enshrined in the Temple of Solomon all year round, and the other is kept in the storeroom as a spare. Another possibility is that this is a gilt bronze seven-branched candlestick."
Hearing his explanation, everyone nodded and agreed.
After a short pause, the Israeli archaeologist continued:
"If it can be proved that this seven-branched gold candlestick comes from the Temple of Solomon, whether it is a spare candlestick, made of pure gold, or whether it is an imitation, it will not prevent it from being a priceless treasure!"
"It is true. If it really comes from the Temple of Solomon, it is a priceless treasure!"
Ye Tian nodded, expressing approval.
Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, you weigh the weight of this seven-branched gold candlestick. Through its weight, you can easily determine whether it is made of pure gold or a gilt bronze candlestick, but be careful!"
"Okay, Steven, we will be careful!"
The leader of the exploration group responded.
After speaking, he walked forward, and under the protection of the other two exploratory team members, he carefully picked up the seven-branched golden candlestick and felt its weight.
As soon as he picked up the seven-branched gold candlestick, this guy gave a surprised cry.
Afterwards, he carefully put down the seven-branched candlestick, and then said through the intercom:
"Steven, the weight of this seven-branched candlestick is not very heavy. It doesn't feel like it is made of gold. It looks like a bronze candlestick. It seems that you are right. This is a gilt bronze candlestick."
"It turned out not to be a seven-branched gold candlestick, but it is certain that it is also a top antique cultural relic, which is of great value, and it can even be said that it is a religious sacred object!"
Ye Tian responded, not the slightest disappointment.
Others are not, somewhat disappointed.
Next, the Israeli exploration team continued to clean up other metal objects.
Their second goal was the small statue covered with a thick layer of dust and moss.
As before, they took towels and wiped off the dust and moss covering the small statues.
What followed was a rusty bronze sculpture. The whole statue was bleak and covered with patina, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
This kind of bronze sculpture is of a skinny old man with a shirtless upper body.
He knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in his chest, looked up at the sky, his expression was sad and solemn, and he seemed to be praying sincerely.
Although this bronze statue is rusty and the carving technique is simple, it gives people a shocking feeling and is very powerful.
The moment he saw this bronze statue on the real-time exploration screen, Ye Tian couldn't help being stunned.
The two archaeologists standing beside him, as well as an expert on the identification of antiques and cultural relics from Israel, were also stunned.
After a while, Ye Tian woke up.
Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be pleasantly surprised:
"If I read correctly, the figure carved by this bronze statue should be the Jewish prophet Job, and this is probably the earliest statue of Job discovered so far."
Before he could say anything, the Israeli archaeologist nodded excitedly and said:
"Yes, Steven, your judgment is very accurate. This is the bronze statue of the Jewish prophet Job. If this bronze statue really comes from Jerusalem before 900 BC, it comes from the Temple of Solomon.
Then there is no doubt that it is the oldest statue of Job found so far, and it is definitely a top-notch antique relic of invaluable value. At the same time, it is also a religious holy relic belonging to all Israelis! "
"What this bronze statue represents is the most classic image of Job. He is talking to God. This bronze statue is really rare and precious, but it is rusty!"
The Israeli antique and cultural relic appraisal expert said excitedly.
While excited, this guy was also distressed.
In a short while, the Israeli exploration team cleared out the bronze statue of Job.
Later, they began to clean up several other metal objects.
Without exception, those metal objects are Jewish religious articles, and generally only appear in synagogues or temples.
Among them are two religious items, which are made entirely of gold, radiating bright golden light under the light.
On the religious articles, the logo of the big satellite is engraved, which is very eye-catching.
There are only a few metal objects hidden in this underground cave.
However, each of these metal objects is very valuable and can be regarded as top antique cultural relics.
Their discovery and their emergence will definitely cause a sensation, and will also bring a huge amount of wealth to Ye Tian.
After about half an hour, the Israeli exploration team wiped off all the dust and moss on the antique relics and cleaned them out~EbookFREE.me~ Next, it was time to transport these priceless antiques. Shipped to the ground!
For safety's sake, Ye Tian chose to transport the treasure through the entrance of the snake cave in the ruins of the old castle, not from the cliff on the west side of the old castle!
The distance from the cliff is too far, and the terrain leading to the cave over there is rugged and complicated. If one is not careful, it is possible to crash these valuable top antique cultural relics.
No one can bear such a result!
Transfer from the entrance of the snake cave on the side of the ancient castle ruins, the distance is relatively close, and the terrain is relatively flat.
The only trouble is that the environment here is too crippling, and there are more Night Demon snakes and more snake venom that die here!
Fortunately, the protective measures of the Israeli exploration team are in place, and they have adapted to the situation in this underground cave!
Soon, the transfer of this treasure was launched.
