Standing on the platform at the entrance of the cave, Ye Tian seemed to be standing in an oval tiankeng, but the sky above could not be seen in this tiankeng.
Looking up, there is only darkness above and no light at all,
The light from the headlamp worn by Ye Tian could not reach the top of the crack at all.
Looking down, you see an endless abyss.
The dark world beneath our feet seemed to lead directly to the depths of hell, which was frightening to look at.
Moreover, there is no life here. Except for Ye Tian himself, there is no living thing anymore. He cannot feel the slightest breath of life, and it is completely silent.
Standing on the platform, Ye Tian could only see the cave walls around the crack, as well as the stairs, or catwalk, dug out along the cave walls.
Then there is the cave entrance on the wall opposite the crack. The cave is also deathly silent, without any trace of life.
Where exactly the cave leads and how deep it is is currently unknown.
When I used a small drone to explore before, I only flew about 20 meters in, and was blocked by a stone gate. I had to go back the same way, and there was no surprising discovery.
If you want to know the situation behind the stone door and continue to explore in depth, there is only one way.
Just find a way to enter the cave, and then open the stone door deep in the cave to see what secrets are hidden behind it.
While Ye Tian was observing the situation inside the crack, other team members, experts and scholars in the camp of the tripartite joint exploration team, as well as countless viewers on the live broadcast, also saw the situation here.
Without exception, everyone was shocked.
“I’ll go! The terrain here is really scary. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to take another step forward even if I were killed!”
“How come there is such a crack deep in the mountain? I really doubt it, is this the door to hell?”
While people were talking about it, they became even more excited.
This much-anticipated treasure hunt live broadcast has also attracted more and more attention.
In the United States, the Vatican, Israel, Ethiopia, and in every corner of the world, countless pairs of eyes are glued to TVs, computers, and mobile phone screens, watching this live broadcast of the treasure hunt.
Related topics have become the hottest topics at the moment.
In the depths of David’s Satellite Cave, exploration continues.
In a moment, Ye Tian had quickly scanned the crack deep in the mountain and had a rough grasp of the situation here.
And that’s just the surface.
In fact, he saw more.
Using his clairvoyance ability, he saw through all the stairs on the cracked cave wall and the entrance to the cave opposite.
Including the surrounding cave walls, as well as the top and bottom of the crack, he did not let go
Through perspective, he understood in the blink of an eye.
How should the next exploration operation be carried out, and whether it is safe, etc.
After observing the situation in the crack, he began to observe the platform he was on.
This platform is only a little over one square meter, very small in area. On one side is a dark abyss, on the other side is a cliff like a knife or axe, which is very steep.
Standing on this platform, most people’s legs will feel weak and it will be difficult to stand firm.
Fortunately there is no wind here, otherwise it would be even more dangerous.
Ye Tian looked at the situation around the platform and soon discovered something.
On the cave wall next to him, there is a small niche with a simple bronze candlestick placed in it.
Due to the extremely dry air here, this bronze candlestick does not have many traces of rust and is in pretty good condition!
Unfortunately, although this bronze candlestick has a long history and is in good condition, it is too crudely made and has no great value.
Of course, this is for Ye Tian.
He doesn’t like this ancient antique at all.
For the Israelites, especially the Beta Israelites, it’s a different story.
If the Ark of the Covenant is really hidden in this cave, it will definitely give everything here a sacred aura and double their value.
On both sides of the cave entrance, there is a small angel statue.
These two angel statues are modeled after the Israelis, but they have a touch of African culture.
They are different from the Christian-style angels that were common later, and they are also different from the African black-shaped angels, which is very interesting.
In addition, there are some difficult-to-understand variants of ancient Hebrew on the cave walls, as well as a stone mural from the Old Testament.
Not surprisingly, this series of discoveries once again caused a small sensation.
Especially the archaeologists and historians, everyone is very excited.
Ye Tian turned a blind eye to these findings.
After confirming that there were no traps on this small platform and that it was basically safe, he returned to the cave behind him and prepared for the next step of exploration.
After entering the cave, he looked at Peter and Owen, and then said:
“Guys, next we have to go through the stairs on the wall of the crack, enter the cave diagonally below the opposite side of the crack, and continue to explore.
It is not easy to pass through the narrow stairs on the cave wall safely. There is a certain degree of danger. It is best for everyone to be mentally prepared.”
“Understood, Steven, we are not concerned about this danger yet”
Peter and the others nodded in response, but Owen hesitated.
Ye Tian nodded and continued:
“It’s up to you to take the lead, Peter. I’m here to protect you. Once the steps on the cave wall collapse, or you accidentally step on the air and fall into the crack outside, I will pull you back immediately.
I carefully observed the stairs on the cracked cave wall and the entrance to the cave opposite, and found no trace of traps. It seemed relatively safe! ”
Without any hesitation, Peter immediately nodded and responded:
“No problem, Steven, let me take the lead”
“Okay, Peter, except for the protective equipment, safety ropes, and sabers on your body, take off everything else and put it here temporarily to reduce the burden.
After arriving at the cave opposite the crack, there is a stalagmite protruding from the ground about four or five meters inside the cave. You tie the safety rope to that stalagmite.
Next, I will send the corresponding equipment there using safety ropes, and then build a ropeway between the two cave entrances to transport people and various exploration equipment…”
In a few words, Ye Tian explained his plan.
At the same time, Peter also began to take off his equipment to reduce his burden as much as possible.
In the blink of an eye, everything was ready.
Before setting off, Ye Tian checked the safety rope around Peter’s waist again and gave a few more instructions.
After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said:
“It’s time to start!”
“Okay!”
Peter nodded in response and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
After walking out of the cave, he quickly observed the situation here.
Even though he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he couldn’t help but feel a little frightened when he saw the situation in this crack.
However, this did not make him timid and retreat.
More importantly, he had great trust in Ye Tian, who controlled the safety rope, and was sure that he would not be in any danger.
After a short pause, Peter stepped out, clung to the cracked cave wall, and carefully stepped onto the steps on the cracked cave wall.
With this movement, he had left the small platform at the entrance of the cave.
Looking out from the cave where Ye Tian and the others were, he seemed to be floating on the bottomless crack, which was frightening to watch.
In front of countless live broadcasts, everyone has their heart in their throats and dare not even express their anger.
But Peter did not stop. Like a giant gecko, he clung to the cave wall and groped forward bit by bit.
If you look down from a high position, you will see such a wonderful scene.
In this dark abyss like a sinkhole, a bright light is moving slowly in the middle of the abyss, bit by bit tearing apart this dark world that has been silent for thousands of years.
The light projected from the cave where Ye Tian and the others were located divided the abyss-like crack into two parts: upper and lower.
In the blink of an eye, Peter had walked through five steps, but stopped before the sixth step.
Only half of the sixth step is left, and the other half of the step towards the abyss has been smashed into a slope.
It is estimated that the stone at the top of the crack fell and hit the step, destroying the other half on the outside and making this place more dangerous.
Peter paused here for a moment, took a deep breath, and then stepped out and stepped onto the half-remaining steps.
The moment he stepped onto the steps, his body suddenly swayed and his feet seemed to slip a little.
“Ah——!”
Many people screamed and were frightened.
Many people even closed their eyes in front of the live broadcast, not daring to watch anymore.
A moment later, when they opened their eyes again and looked at the live broadcast, Peter had successfully passed the sixth step and stood on the seventh step.
“Hoo——!”
Many people breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
Next, Peter encountered two more broken steps, both of which he passed without any danger.
In the blink of an eye, he was close to the entrance of the cave opposite, with only three or four steps left.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said loudly:
“Peter, be careful of the second step in front of the cave entrance. According to my observation, that step may not be stable and the support below is weak. It is best to skip that step”
Hearing this, Peter immediately responded:
“I got it, Steven, I’ll be careful”
As he spoke, he reached the third to last step, then stopped again and looked ahead.
Fortunately, the third to last step is not far from the last step. You can jump from the second to last step with just a light jump!
But this slight jump was in the sky over an abyss of death, not on the flat ground.
Peter observed the situation, took a deep breath, and then jumped forward.
With his move, countless live broadcasts exploded in front of them.
“Ah——!”
Many people screamed in surprise, and all of them were terrified.
Before the exclamation could end, Peter had landed firmly on the last step without any accident.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the cave opposite.
Seeing this scene, everyone let out a sigh of relief, and their high-hanging hearts finally relaxed a little.
As Peter successfully entered the cave on the opposite side, the next thing became much easier.
Soon, Ye Tian sent Peter’s various equipment over with safety ropes.
Then some other exploration equipment was sent, such as cables and piton rock plugs, as well as wires and lighting fixtures.
In a short time, the ropeway between the two caves was established.
Next, the other two security personnel walked out of the cave one after another. Under the protection of the safety rope, they stepped onto the stairs on the cracked cave wall and walked toward the cave below.
In the process, they inserted many rock plugs into some gaps in the cracked cave wall, and then connected the safety rope to these rock plugs to reach the cave entrance below.
Since then, there is an extra safety rope on the cracked cave wall, which can provide an extra layer of protection for everyone.
After arranging safety measures, Ye Tian and other members of the exploration team walked out of this cave one after another and walked towards the cave opposite the crack.
Even though it was very safe, some people in the joint exploration team still had weak legs and did not dare to step on the stairs on the cracked cave wall.
In desperation, Ye Tian could only let them stay in the cave behind him and not go deeper.
In fact, there are many things in the cave that everyone has explored for them to study carefully.
……
It took about half an hour for everyone to enter the cave opposite the crack.
At this time, the number of people in the joint exploration team has been reduced to their early twenties, which is one-third smaller.
When everyone arrived, Ye Tian led everyone to continue exploring.
Like the caves we explored before, this section of the cave also slopes downward, but the **** is relatively gentle.
And this section of the cave is more spacious and flatter.
There are no sharp or protruding stones on the ground and the cave walls on both sides. Only the roof of the cave remains in its original state.
Obviously, this is the work of the Beta Israelites.
Seeing all this, everyone was amazed and secretly stunned by the generosity of Beta Israel.
Everyone can’t even believe it. How did the Beta Israelites do these things in ancient times more than two thousand years ago?
Such a massive project cannot be completed in a few months or a year or two.
It will take at least several decades, or even one or two generations, to complete such a project.
God knows how many Beta Israelites, prisoners of war, and slaves died in this hidden world deep in the mountains!
During the exploration, everyone discovered many ancient Hebrew texts and stone murals, several stone statues and bronze statues, and several bronze candlesticks.
We have discovered a lot of things like this before.
Although these new discoveries are important and have high historical and cultural research value, it is difficult for everyone to cheer for them.
At this time, everyone is looking forward to more important archaeological discoveries.
Countless viewers in front of the live broadcast are also looking forward to bigger surprises.
In this section of the cave, Ye Tian only found a trap that was transformed from a hole in the ground. The rest of the cave was on the ground and relatively safe.
After a while, they had reached the depths of the cave and arrived in front of the stone door that the small drone had discovered before.
At this point, everyone stopped as Ye Tian made a gesture.
Afterwards, Ye Tian began to check the situation here.
At the same time, he asked his exploration team members to come over with pulse metal detectors and began to scan the ground and cave walls, as well as the stone door in front of them.
On the ground in front of the stone door, the cave walls on both sides, and the cave roof above, Ye Tian did not find any fatal traps.
When his employees used pulse metal detectors to scan the ground and cave walls on both sides, they found no hidden metal objects.
However, when they attached the probe coil of the pulse metal detector to the stone door, a pleasant chirping sound suddenly sounded at the scene, which sounded extremely moving.
Nick, who was in charge of exploring with a pulse metal detector, said excitedly:
“Steven, there are a large number of metal objects hidden behind this stone door. It may be the treasure of Solomon that we have been looking for, which only existed in legends in the past!”
Before he finished speaking, the scene exploded.
“What? Solomon’s treasure is actually hidden here, this is so crazy!”
“Oh my god! We finally found Solomon’s treasure. If this is true, then this is definitely one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in history. I just don’t know if the Ark of the Covenant is behind this stone door?”
At the same time, the world outside is completely boiling.
“I’ll go! This guy Steven actually found Solomon’s treasure. This is such incredible luck!”
“Wow! I wonder what else is there besides the large amount of gold and silver in Solomon’s treasure. This is so exciting. I really want to see what’s behind this stone door right away!”
Two campsites at the top and bottom of the cliff, as well as a campsite on the opposite side of the canyon.
All members of the tripartite joint exploration team and many experts and scholars were cheering and celebrating.
The Pope and the Prime Minister of Israel, as well as senior government officials from Israel, as well as many senior Jewish and Christian clerics were staying at the joint exploration team camp.
They all jumped up from their seats, every one of them was almost crazy with excitement, and even had tears in their eyes!
In the Vatican, in Israel, and even in many places in the Western world, excited cheers instantly resounded through the sky.
The faces of the Ethiopians and several senior Ethiopian Orthodox monks who were also at the camp of the joint exploration team were extremely ugly, and they all looked ashen!
Deep in the cave, Ye Tian came to the stone door again.
He first checked the metal signal scanned by the pulse metal detector, thought for a moment, and nodded affirmatively.
“Yes, there are indeed many metal objects hidden behind this stone door. The number is quite astonishing. Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that these metal objects are Solomon’s treasures!”
Although they had expected this result for a long time, everyone was shocked again when they heard Ye Tian say it himself.
Before everyone could cheer, Ye Tian looked at the stone door and said with feigning curiosity:
“There seems to be a lot of things carved on this ancient stone door. I don’t know what it is? Let’s take a look at the situation on this stone door first. It may bring us a huge surprise”
As he spoke, he took out a towel and began to wipe the dust on the stone door.
With his movements, the pattern carved on the stone door gradually appeared in front of everyone.
In the center of the stone gate is a magnificent temple, which seems to be emitting bright golden light.
Everyone has seen this temple before on the cave wall to the right of the first stone door, but the mural was relatively smaller and not as shocking.
Moreover, the temple carved on the stone gate is more solemn. There are no people burning, killing and looting inside and outside the temple, and there are no guys taking advantage of the chaos to steal treasures.
The moment they saw this temple, everyone was stunned.
The next moment, people screamed in surprise.
“Oh my God! This is the legendary Solomon’s Temple!”
“Don’t tell me that the Beta Israelites built a Solomon’s Temple in the heart of this mountain? If that’s true, that’s crazy!”
