Led by Ye Tian, everyone went down the stairs and arrived at the basement of this Roman-style building.
As soon as he entered the basement, Ye Tian began to introduce the situation here to everyone.
“Gentlemen, this Roman-style building on the ground was built on the ancient Roman underground city. It was built hundreds of years later than the Roman underground city. The situation is generally the same for other historical buildings on this street.
When building these buildings of different styles, people made use of the existing Roman underground cities, sealing and transforming the underground cities under their respective residences into independent basements.
This is the situation in the basement you see now. This basement was transformed from the Roman underground city that happened to be under this building. The originally well-connected passages have been sealed off.
In this basement, we found a lot of stones from the Colosseum not far away. They were moved from the Colosseum by the people who built this building and used to build walls to block those that extend in all directions. “authentic”
Listening to Ye Tian’s introduction, Bishop Kent and Giovanni all nodded in agreement.
They live in Rome and know the situation here quite well. Naturally, they know that Ye Tian’s words are correct. There is indeed a huge and ancient underground city underground in the center of Rome.
From ancient times to the present, in this underground city where sunlight cannot reach, God knows how many shameful things and even crimes have happened!
People living in the center of Rome often use the underground city under their homes, or transform it into a basement, wine cellar, secret room, etc., or do other things.
While talking, everyone has arrived at the door of the utility room at the deepest part of the basement.
This utility room is very small, less than ten square meters. There is a Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company employee and a security guard guarding the door.
When he arrived here, Ye Tian first nodded and said hello to his two men, then opened the door of the utility room and looked inside.
The things that were previously piled in this utility room have been emptied out long ago. Even the garbage and dust on the ground have been swept away. The utility room is empty and you can see it at a glance!
At first glance, there is nothing special about this utility room. Both the walls and the floor are made of large or small stones, which are very solid and rough.
“Gentlemen, this utility room is not large enough to allow a few people to stand in it. In view of this, everyone can take turns to go in and visit, and then I will reveal the secret.”
With that said, Ye Tian made an invitation gesture, indicating that everyone could enter the utility room.
Next, Bishop Kent, Giovanni, and two media reporters took turns entering the utility room and checking out the situation inside.
However, they gained nothing and found nothing. They went in with high expectations and then came out confused.
After coming out of the utility room, Giovanni couldn’t wait to ask:
“Steven, where is the secret room you mentioned? All we saw were the unusually solid floors and walls, and no trace of the existence of the secret room!”
Hearing this, Ye Tian just smiled softly and did not give an answer immediately.
When everyone had seen the utility room, he smiled and said loudly:
“I just said that around the eleventh century AD, the noble or wealthy businessman who built this Roman-style building on the ground moved a lot of stones from the nearby Colosseum in order to block the underground secret passages that extended in all directions. block.
In this utility room, there happen to be two stones from the Colosseum, one is a fragment of the Tuscan column, and the other is a stone slab from the Colosseum auditorium, and these two fragments happen to be laid together.
During the exploration, I found a lot of stones from the Colosseum, but these two stones are different from the other stones. After the other stones were moved here to seal the tunnel, they have almost never been seen in the past thousand years. Moved.
But these two stones have been moved, and not too long ago. According to my judgment, they were removed from the wall in the late 1930s to the early 1940s. during this time.
During that time, this Romanesque building had fallen into the hands of the then Italian Air Force Commander Balbo. It was obvious that he had done it. Although he tried his best to cover up the traces, it still did not escape my eyes! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Giovanni nodded slightly and then continued:
“Yes, in this utility room, I did see a stone with a Tuscan column pattern. The Tuscan column fragment probably came from the Colosseum. Is it the secret room you mentioned? , hidden behind that stone?”
“Giovanni, you are indeed an elite member of the Italian cultural relics gendarme. You have very good eyesight. The secret room I mentioned is indeed hidden behind the fragment of the Tuscan column.
Based on the situation of this utility room, I initially judged that there is a small secret room hidden behind those two stones, and it was transformed from the secret room in the underground city!
Of course, whether my judgment is accurate still needs to be verified with facts. As for how to open the secret room and what is in the secret room, I know nothing like everyone else! ”
Ye Tian said with a smile, confirming Giovanni’s words and taking the opportunity to distance himself.
In fact, he knew exactly how to open the secret room hidden behind the wall of the utility room, what was hidden in the secret room, and how much it was worth!
After the performance, Ye Tian led everyone into the utility room, preparing to reveal the answer to the mystery.
He went straight to the wall on the north side of the utility room, pointed to a patterned stone slab on the wall and said:
“Gentlemen, this is the fragment of the Tuscan column I mentioned from the Colosseum. The stone slab above it is from the floor of the auditorium of the Colosseum. These two stones They are all considered antiques.
If you are familiar with the building materials used in the Colosseum, or go to the Colosseum to observe and compare them carefully afterwards, you will find out whether my identification is correct and whether they come from the Colosseum.
Please take a look at the adhesive, or filling, between these two stones. If you compare it carefully with the filling between the stones on the other three walls of the utility room, you will find that they are different. subtle differences between.
In addition, if you look at the top of this stone slab, there is a strip of stone about one meter and two meters long, which is supported on other stones on the left and right sides. This avoids the need for these two stones from the Colosseum. The block is under too much pressure.
Seeing this, can you think of such a picture? If you remove these two stones from the Colosseum, wouldn’t this be a stone door? But what is hidden behind this stone door needs to be explored. Got it! ”
Following Ye Tian’s introduction, Bishop Kent and Giovanni stepped forward and carefully examined the wall on the north side of the utility room and the two stones from the Colosseum.
After receiving the guidance, everyone observed with purpose and pertinence, and soon discovered the clues.
“Yes, Steven, the filling around these two stones should be modern high-grade cement, while the filling between the remaining stones is typical ancient Roman cement!
Judging from the solidified state, the difference between them is not big, or even very subtle, which is difficult to detect, but if you observe carefully, you can still see the subtle difference between them!
In this regard, these two stones from the Colosseum have indeed been moved in the past one hundred years. The location where they are located does look like a stone gate! ”
Giovanni nodded and said, confirming Ye Tian’s judgment.
The rest of the people present nodded and had no different opinions.
At the same time, the eyes of everyone looking at this wall and the two stones on the wall became more intense, and everyone’s eyes were full of expectation!
