Chapter 3215: The sorrow of a small country

Chapter 3215 The Sorrow of a Small Country
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian and the others came out of the courtyard and walked to another courtyard not far away.
In this courtyard, they did not find any surprises.
Although there are several stones and building remnants from the Temple of Poseidon, the text engraved on it is in ancient Latin, and it has no special meaning, just the graffiti of the ancient Romans.
The decorations and patterns on those stones and building remnants are also very common. Apart from proving that they are from the Sea God Temple, they are not of high value and are not worth buying.
In the next few courtyards, they also found nothing.
Like the situation in the first courtyard, although these courtyards also contained stones and building remnants from the Sea God Temple, they did not record any valuable information.
This result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.
After exploring these courtyards, Ye Tian and the others walked down the mountainside.
The other exploration groups have basically completed their tasks, and they walked from all directions of the hill to the location of the exploration team.
During the latter period, apart from a few ancient architectural ruins, nothing was discovered.
The discovery of those ancient building sites can only prove that there was indeed a small ancient city here, and can no longer provide any valuable information and clues.
Soon, everyone had returned to the roadside at the foot of the mountain, where they joined the other members of the joint exploration team who stayed here.
At this time, there were many more people gathered outside the cordon to watch the excitement than before.
And these extra guys are all those who followed the three-way joint exploration team and came to Atlantis.
They finally arrived here successfully through the heavy interrogation of the Moroccan police.
It's a pity that the tripartite joint exploration team's action today has ended and will be leaving soon.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others returning, the media reporters who had just arrived here immediately began to ask questions loudly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from The Times. Excuse me, why did the three-way joint exploration team come here to explore? What did you find on this hill? Can you tell us about the situation?"
"Hello, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from NBC TV. According to what we just learned, there used to be a temple on the top of this hill. Can you introduce the situation of this temple? This ancient temple is related to Art What's up with Landis?"
Hearing the question, Ye Tian immediately turned to look at the media reporters.
He glanced at these guys, then smiled and said aloud:
"Good afternoon, friends from the media, I have nothing to say about today's joint exploration operation, because we didn't find any surprises today.
On the top of this small hill, there is indeed the ruins of a temple, but we don't know what this temple has to do with Atlantis, whether it has anything to do with it.
If you are interested, after the three-party joint exploration team leaves, you can go up and check it out, maybe you will find something, and it will be better.

Hearing this, those media reporters all sighed and were a little disappointed.
The rest of the guys who followed all the way from Casablanca did the same.
They spent a lot of hard work, passed five levels and cut six generals, passed through countless levels, and even paid a lot of money to buy roads before they arrived here.
Can you not be disappointed to hear such news?
Next, another reporter asked loudly.
The reporter asked about the stone hand just now, where it came from, how valuable it was, whether it was related to Atlantis, and so on.
For this question, Ye Tian only mentioned the purchase price of 20,000 US dollars.
As for other information, he prevaricates the past under the pretext of being researched.
After answering this question, he ignored the media reporters and said loudly to the local residents at the scene:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our exploration here today is about to end. Before leaving, I want to say to everyone that if you have anything more peculiar, you can contact us.
The strange things I am talking about are the things from the ruins of the temple on the top of the mountain. If the things in your hands are really worth researching, I will pay for them. As for the price, we can talk to each other at that time.

Hearing this, the locals nodded.
Many of them are eager to try, and are going to search this small hill to see if they can find any treasures.
The $20,000 that Hassler got had obviously irritated them and made them very excited.
After speaking, Ye Tian ordered
Instruct the expedition team members under him to pack up and prepare to leave.
Soon, the many exploration groups that were scattered all came back.
Everyone immediately got busy, packing all kinds of exploration equipment into boxes, and then loading them onto many vehicles.
After a while, everyone packed up and got into the car.
Immediately afterwards, the joint exploration team started with a bang, slowly drove away from here, and went straight back to Casablanca.
As the joint exploration convoy left, the cordon set up by the police was also lifted.
The next moment, the people watching the lively behind the cordon, like a tide, rushed directly to this small hill and rushed to the top of the mountain.
They all want to explore here and see if there are any surprises to discover.
Even if there is no big gain, a small surprise is not bad!
In the blink of an eye, people were everywhere on this small hill.
Many people are digging and digging in the mountains, daydreaming of getting rich overnight.
However, the United Expedition Team had gone away and soon disappeared.
...
Soon it was night time.
In the hotel presidential suite.
Ye Tian and Professor Paul are studying the building component they found during the day and the stone hand they bought later.
In their hands, there are also two laptops.
What is displayed on the laptop screen is the famous Parthenon and several other ancient Greek temple architectural ruins, as well as some ancient Greek classical sculptures.
The research has been going on for about an hour, and everyone has come to some conclusions.
What is certain is that the temple that once stood on the top of the hill that was explored during the day was indeed an ancient Greek temple building, and it was a temple of the sea.
The worshiped in the temple is naturally Poseidon, the of the sea.
This temple of the sea is very likely to be built by the ancient Greeks. It was built a little later than the Parthenon, and it should be a temple building in the early Hellenistic era.
The artistic features it embodies are in line with the artistic features of the late classical and early Hellenistic architecture of ancient Greece, and are different from the temple architecture of the Parthenon in the classical heyday.
This point was also confirmed on the stone hand that was suspected to be a remnant of the sculpture of Poseidon, the sea god.
Gu Xie After careful research and comparison with several ancient Greek sculptures in his collection, Ye Tian finally came to a positive conclusion.
He told Yahya and Paul to teach them that the artistic style of the stone hand was exactly the same as ancient Greek classical sculpture.
Moreover, the carving technique shown by this stone hand is close to the style of the last sculptor of the late classical period, Liu Sipos, but it is specious.
It is almost certain that the ancient Greek sculptor who carved this stone hand is most likely a descendant of the disciple of Lyusipus.
And the period of the life of Lysipos, ancient Greece was entering the Hellenistic period from the classical period.
He was a famous sculptor who connected the past and the future in these two eras, and one of the three major sculptors in the Hellenistic era, with students all over the world.
More importantly, the carving technique shown by this stone hand is exactly the same period as the architectural art style shown by this Sea God Temple.
Combining these evidences, it can be concluded.
This Poseidon Temple on the outskirts of Casablanca was indeed built by the ancient Greeks, and the statue of Poseidon in the temple is the work of ancient Greek sculptors!
With the conclusion of this identification, everyone was completely stunned.
How could there be a Poseidon built by the ancient Greeks, or even an ancient city built by the ancient Greeks, around the third or fourth century BC, near Casablanca?
Everyone knows that in those days, the Carthaginians ruled here.
Neither ancient Greece nor ancient Rome had set foot in this land at that time.
Although Carthage had close contacts and frequent exchanges with ancient Greece, it was an enemy most of the time and had been fighting for hegemony in the Mediterranean.
Could it be that Carthage invited the ancient Greek sculptors to come here to design and build this Poseidon and this ancient city?
Or the ancient Greeks captured by the Carthaginians had a master sculptor, and then forced the ancient Greek sculptor to design and build it.
It seems that only these two explanations sound reasonable.
Another possibility is that there is an error in the history record.
The real history is that at a certain time in the third or fourth century BC, ancient Greece conquered here, or briefly conquered it, so this temple of the sea was left behind.
Or it was built by some unknown mysterious force, just imitating the artistic styles of the late Classical and early Hellenistic Greeks.
Thinking of this kind of possibility, everyone felt a headache.
No clue whatsoever.
However, everyone was certain that the broken stone hand was a masterpiece, worth much more than $20,000.
Ye Tian also decided to display this stone hand in his own private museum in the future.
This made Ye Haiya and the others remorse, regretting why they didn't tear off their faces during the day, and missed a valuable antique relic in vain.
In addition to this stone hand and building remnants, everyone also studied the ancient Mayan text and patterns on the half of the stone pillars found before, but unfortunately there was no progress.
Everyone has not been able to decipher the ancient Mayan script, and still can't figure out the secret hidden behind the half stone pillar.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that everyone finished their research.
Then, everyone began to discuss the exploration action that will be launched tomorrow.
"Steven, the joint exploration team will go to sea tomorrow, do we need to do any preparatory work? For example, security"
Yahya asked.
Hearing the question, Ye Tian thought for a moment before replying with a smile:
"My staff have already made all the preparations that need to be done, including fresh water, food, oil and other materials. My staff have prepared a lot in the past two days, and they have all been moved to various ships, which are completely sufficient.
What you, Morocco, have to do is to stop the ships that are trying to track after the joint exploration fleet sets sail, and when the fleet arrives at the target sea area, take charge of on-site vigilance and drive away other ships.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this, I'll notify the coast guard and get them ready to stop those ships trying to track the exploration fleet."
"Those guys and ships trying to track the Joint Exploration Fleet, it's just a little trouble, it's not difficult to solve, the real trouble is in the open sea, and it's very difficult, especially for you Morocco.
The sea area we are going to explore tomorrow is not far from the high seas, and the high seas outside Casablanca are full of various ships, including scientific research ships, deep-sea salvage ships, yachts, and even warships.
There are many ships here from various powerful countries in Europe and the United States. You can't afford to provoke any country in Morocco. Even on the bottom of the sea, there are submarines from those European and American countries searching for clues.
If I'm not mistaken, the coast near Casablanca has been swept away by submarines and divers from those European and American countries, but you Moroccans have not found it.
All you have to do tomorrow is to keep the baseline of Morocco's territorial waters, and don't let unrelated ships break into the operating waters of the joint exploration fleet. As for the submarines hidden underwater, do your best! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, but what he said was very harsh.
When the voice fell, Ye Haiya's face changed suddenly, became much more dignified, and fell silent.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said:
"You are right, Steven, those European and American countries that have the ability to send scientific research ships here to disrupt the situation, we Morocco can't afford to mess with one, this is due to the strength of the country.
As far as the strength of the Moroccan navy is concerned, it is impossible to deter the ships of European and American countries, let alone the submarines hidden in the depths of the sea. It is difficult to find them.
Even so, we will still take the appropriate posture to ensure that our territorial waters are not violated, and that the exploration operations of the joint exploration fleet are not maliciously interfered.
There are naval ships in Casablanca, and I will apply to His Majesty the King to send warships out to sea in the name of patrol to protect the joint exploration fleet, which should have a certain role.

"This is the best way, I suggest that you can cooperate with the media to expose the movements of ships of various countries through the media and the Internet, create public opinion pressure, and then restrict ships of various countries.
Before the joint exploration team did not discover Atlantis, I believe that those ships from Europe and the United States did not dare to go too far~EbookFREE.me~ I still have to be careful about the influence of public opinion."
Ye Tian said with a smile, helping to come up with an idea.
There is no way, strong enemies are all around, Morocco's strength is too weak, and we can only find a way to contain those guys who are eyeing on the high seas.
Hearing his words, Ye Haiya's eyes immediately lit up, as if seeing hope.
"This is a good idea, Steven, we will contact the media when we go back, and make preparations in this regard, hoping to play a role and make those ships from Europe and the United States have some scruples!
In this case, we can't avoid those media reporters, not only can't avoid those guys, but also take some famous media reporters to explore the sea together, which is also a lot of trouble."
"It doesn't matter, we are going to the bottom of the sea to explore this time. Even if those media reporters want to track and report, they don't have the ability. They can only stay on the yacht honestly!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
After chatting a few more words, Ye Haiya and the others just left and went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with David and Matisse again.
Yes, some necessary preparations and arrangements have been made.
For example, notifying the U.S. embassy in Morocco in advance, getting in touch with U.S. warships cruising nearby, etc., just in case.
At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in the security of the fleet to prevent people from infiltrating and eavesdropping, or interfering with the operations of the joint exploration fleet.
About half an hour later, David and Matisse left the suite just now.
At this time, the night outside the window was dark, and there was silence all around.
