"Treasure hunt around the world (
The third thousand two hundred and thirty-two strange ancient Roman artifacts
After an intermediate stop, several divers who went to explore the sea also successfully dived to the bottom of the sea.
They quickly found the mark left by Pique yesterday, and used that as a starting point to continue their exploration.
At this time, the seabed has become quite flat, basically equivalent to the seabed plain.
After exploring eastward, several divers came to the eastern edge of the warning area, but found nothing.
Moreover, the terrain here has also changed, and there has been a gradual upward trend.
Obviously, the hillside on the east side of the Haishan Mountain ends here.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, you can end your exploration of the east side of the mountain, and now you return to the mountain at the bottom of the sea to explore the north side of that mountain.
The slopes in the north are relatively steep, so you should pay attention to safety when exploring, control your diving speed, and work closely with small submarines.”
The next moment, the divers at the bottom of the sea responded.
"Got it, Steven, don't worry, we know what to do"
Afterwards, several divers turned around and swam to the seamount in the center of the warning area driven by the diving propeller.
The small submarine also moved, turning around and heading for the seamount.
After a while, they had returned to the top of the undersea mountain.
After another decompression stop, the divers swam to the north of the mountain to start a new round of exploration.
Soon, it was about ten o'clock in the morning.
Several divers exploring the seabed have replaced their oxygen tanks and explored a large area.
Unfortunately, there were no surprising discoveries.
Although they also scanned a few metal objects, those metal objects are not treasures, they are just things that people left on this seabed intentionally or unintentionally, and they have no value.
In addition, they also found several large or small, deep or shallow caves.
However, after some exploration by a small underwater robot, it was found that there was nothing in those caves except the marine life that inhabited them.
At this point, the dive depth of several divers had reached about 60 meters.
Ye Tian, who stayed in the cabin of the Brave Dreadnought, first looked at the depth data, thought for a moment, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Guys, this hillside should be almost at the bottom, and the maximum depth here should be around 80 meters, that is to say, if you dive another 20 meters, you will reach the bottom.
In the next exploration process, you don't have to check the situation in those caves, just scan the seabed with an underwater metal detector to see if you can find anything.
In the era when the black baron lived, there was no diving equipment, let alone an oxygen tank. Even if the water was good, it was almost impossible to dive to this depth.
What's more, they have to hide the box full of gold and silver treasures, which requires a lot of time at the bottom of the sea, which is even more impossible in that backward era.
So they couldn't hide the pirate treasure in the cave at this depth, and the gold and silver treasure that was scattered when the mountain collapsed due to the earthquake, if there was, it was all on the hillside."
"Got it, Steven"
The diver who led the team replied and made an OK gesture.
Everyone in the cabin of the Brave Dreadnought also nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Yahya asked curiously:
"Steven, what you said really makes sense. At the beginning of the eighteenth century when the Black Baron was there, there was indeed no deep diving equipment, and it was difficult for people to dive to the deep seabed.
In this case, where do you think the Black Baron Roberts would hide the pirate treasure he stole? About what depth? How can we find the rest of the treasure? "
Following his words, everyone looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian didn't respond immediately, but thought for a moment before saying with a smile:
"According to my speculation, this mountain on the bottom of the sea not only collapsed, but sank a lot during the Lisbon earthquake in the mid-18th century.
According to the diving conditions of the early 18th century, no matter how good the water level of the men of the black quasi-baron, even if they could use the air bag to assist, they would not be able to dive too deep.
When hiding the gold and silver treasures, it is necessary to stay in the sea for a period of time, and then deduct the time required for diving and ascending, as well as the possible damage caused by the huge water pressure.
There is also the convenience of finding treasures in the future. Combining these conditions, the black quasi-baron is most likely to hide the pirate treasure on a mountain more than 30 meters away from the sea.
It's just that the Lisbon earthquake caused the upper half of the mountain close to the sea to collapse, and the mountain has subsided significantly, so it is so deep.
If my speculation is correct, then the black quasi-baron pirate treasure is likely to fall to the bottom of the sea with the collapsed mountain, but I don't know where it is.
As for the two boxes hidden in the cave on the east side of the hill, it is estimated that they were not far from the sea, but they are only at the current depth due to the overall subsidence.”
Ye Tian's explanation immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Next, everyone began to discuss where the black quasi-baron pirate treasure was left on the seabed, the specific reasons for the subsidence of this mountain on the seabed, and the magnitude of the subsidence.
While talking, Nick's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, we have cleaned up the collapsed stones and slates in the underground chamber of the ancient Roman senate, and then we should clean up this treasure, I don't know what we will find"
Following his remarks, everyone immediately looked at the video footage of the site of the treasure cleaning of the ancient Roman Senate in the ruins of Shera.
Ye Tian casually zoomed in on the video, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Well done, Nick, you guys continue to clean up this senate treasure, I hope there will be some surprising discoveries, but still be careful and pay attention to safety"
At the same time as he said these words, an expedition team member standing at the bottom of the big pit had picked up an object from the mud at the bottom of the Shera Ruined Senate Treasure Clearing Site.
The thing that was close to a circle was covered with mud, and it was temporarily unclear what it was.
And that thing looked very heavy, and it took a little effort for the expedition team member to pick it up.
Immediately afterwards, the expedition team member put the thing into the hanging basket and was then hung to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited and full of expectations.
In the blink of an eye, that thing was placed on a long table seven or eight meters away from the pit.
Only then did everyone see the outline of the thing clearly.
It seems to be the head of a sculpture, which is basically the same size as a normal human head. The outline of the mouth, nose and other organs can be seen, but the outline is not very clear.
What is more peculiar is that this head sculpture seems to be wearing a helmet, and the outline of the helmet is very clear.
Ye Tian glanced at this thing carefully, and then said through the walkie-talkie:
"Nick, this should be the head fragment of an ancient Roman general sculpture, or a head sculpture, but it is unknown which ancient Roman general was carved.
You wash the mud on this head sculpture with water, and you must be careful when washing it to avoid damaging this historic antique as much as possible."
"Understood, Steven, leave this to us"
Nick responded confidently, and jumped into action.
Immediately afterwards, they began to wash the mud off the head sculpture with water.
In order to protect this antique relic as much as possible, they did not pour water from top to bottom, but sprayed water with a watering can and wiped it gently with a towel. The movements were very gentle.
During this period, several more items were excavated from the big pit by the expedition team and transported to the ground.
Without exception, these items were covered with mud, and the original appearance could not be seen clearly for a while. It needed to be cleaned up carefully before we could see clearly what they were.
After a while, the head sculpture had been cleaned up.
As Ye Tian had expected, it was the head fragment of an ancient Roman general sculpture.
However, the nose and mouth of this head were all smashed, making it difficult to identify who the ancient Roman general was.
On the outside of this head sculpture, there is a bronze helmet typical of ancient Roman generals.
This ancient bronze helmet is rusted, but it is relatively well preserved, and it does not look like there is much damage.
Obviously, the collapse of the underground chamber caused by the Lisbon earthquake did not cause much damage to the bronze helmet, which must be said to be a miracle.
The moment he saw this bronze helmet, Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he said excitedly:
"This is the first time I have seen an ancient Roman general sculpture, why didn't this ancient Roman sculptor directly carve a general's helmet on the stone?
Why did he use bronze to make a helmet and put it on this statue of an ancient Roman general, isn't it superfluous? It's just so weird."
Following his remarks, Professor Paul and the others also discovered this problem.
The next moment, everyone started talking.
"It's really like this. I've never seen an ancient Roman general sculpture in this shape. This is the first time I've seen it. It's so strange."
Professor Paul said in surprise, bewildered.
Before he finished speaking, David continued:
"This ancient bronze helmet looks perfectly fit and is very closely integrated with the marble head sculpture. If this bronze helmet is removed, does the head have no ears?"
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
"It should be like this, but for the sake of protecting antiques and cultural relics, we can't take off this ancient bronze helmet for the time being. We must study it carefully before trying to find a way to take it off.
I have never seen such an ancient Roman sculpture before. Based on this alone, this ancient Roman general head sculpture has a high research value. This antique relic may allow us to see a different ancient Rome.
Given that this ancient Roman general head sculpture came from Rabat, which was once the site of Carthage, we can also think that this may be the result of the localization of ancient Roman sculpture art.
In fact, on this ancient Roman general head sculpture, in addition to the strong artistic color of ancient Roman sculpture, we can also see a trace of the influence of exotic culture, but it is not very obvious.”
"Yes, Steven, this explanation seems to make sense. This may be a product of the combination of ancient Roman culture with Carthaginian culture and African culture."
Professor Paul agreed, and the rest nodded.
Next, everyone took a closer look at the sculpture of the head of an ancient Roman general, and then turned their attention to the second item on the table.
This is a metal object that has been deformed by a slate. It is not large, and it does not appear to be broken. It is also covered with mud.
The second item was cleaned very quickly, and the mud on its surface was washed away in a blink of an eye, revealing the underlying color.
Under that layer of mud, there was a dazzling golden light that made everyone dizzy.
When everyone adapts to the changes in light, they will find out.
This is a golden jug in the shape of a clay pot, with a raised ear on each side and no handle.
On the surface of this golden jug, there are engraved patterns of the drunkenness of Bacchus, the ancient Roman **** of wine, as well as many very exquisite ornaments and patterns.
The only pity is that this golden jug from ancient Rome has been smashed and deformed, but fortunately it is not damaged.
This is gold, which is relatively soft in texture and has good ductility, which is why it is like this.
If it was replaced with other metals, such as bronze, it is estimated that it would have already cracked.
When everyone saw this ancient golden jug clearly, they were shocked by it, so much so that they were stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation of excitement at the scene.
"I'm going! It's actually an ancient Roman golden jug. This is too rare and too beautiful. There is no doubt that this is definitely a top antique cultural relic and art"
"Seriously, I have never seen such a beautiful ancient Roman golden jug before. This is the first time I have seen it, and it is even more special from the Carthage region."
While exclaiming, everyone also talked about it.
"This ancient Roman golden jug seems to be relatively intact and not damaged. It should be possible to restore it to its original state, which would be great."
Professor Paul said excitedly.
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this ancient Roman golden jug should be restored to its original state, but it must be carefully studied and restored carefully without causing damage.
Once it is restored to its original appearance, it will definitely cause quite a stir, and it will also become a top ancient Roman antique and art."
Everyone admired this ancient Roman golden jug for a while, and then looked at the third antique relic.
Just as Nick was about to rinse the mud on the surface of this antique relic, there was a burst of ecstatic cheers at the bottom of the pit next to him.
"Wow! There are a lot of ancient Roman gold coins here, all of which seem to be Emperor Trajan's gold coins"
Following this sound, everyone immediately turned to look at the video at the bottom of the pit.
I saw the guy standing at the bottom of the pit holding a gold coin, admiring it with intoxication.
He had wiped off the mud from the ancient Roman gold coin, and under the sunlight, the gold coin radiated an incomparably bright golden light.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited.
Ye Tian immediately zoomed in on the video, and then looked at the gold coin.
The next moment, he gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes, that is Emperor Trajan's gold coin!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The outline of the mouth, nose and other organs can be seen, but the outline is not very clear.What is more peculiar is that this head sculpture seems to be wearing a helmet, and the outline of the helmet is very clear.Ye Tian glanced at this thing carefully, and then said through the walkie-talkie:"Nick, this should be the head fragment of an ancient Roman general sculpture, or a head sculpture, but it is unknown which ancient Roman general was carved.You wash the mud on this head sculpture with water, and you must be careful when washing it to avoid damaging this historic antique as much as possible.""Understood, Steven, leave this to us"Nick responded confidently, and jumped into action.Immediately afterwards, they began to wash the mud off the head sculpture with water.In order to protect this antique relic as much as possible, they did not pour water from top to bottom, but sprayed water with a watering can and wiped it gently with a towel. The movements were very gentle.During this period, several more items were excavated from the big pit by the expedition team and transported to the ground.Without exception, these items were covered with mud, and the original appearance could not be seen clearly for a while. It needed to be cleaned up carefully before we could see clearly what they were.After a while, the head sculpture had been cleaned up.As Ye Tian had expected, it was the head fragment of an ancient Roman general sculpture.However, the nose and mouth of this head were all smashed, making it difficult to identify who the ancient Roman general was.On the outside of this head sculpture, there is a bronze helmet typical of ancient Roman generals.This ancient bronze helmet is rusted, but it is relatively well preserved, and it does not look like there is much damage.Obviously, the collapse of the underground chamber caused by the Lisbon earthquake did not cause much damage to the bronze helmet, which must be said to be a miracle.The moment he saw this bronze helmet, Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.Immediately afterwards, he said excitedly:"This is the first time I have seen an ancient Roman general sculpture, why didn't this ancient Roman sculptor directly carve a general's helmet on the stone?Why did he use bronze to make a helmet and put it on this statue of an ancient Roman general, isn't it superfluous? It's just so weird."Following his remarks, Professor Paul and the others also discovered this problem.The next moment, everyone started talking."It's really like this. I've never seen an ancient Roman general sculpture in this shape. This is the first time I've seen it. It's so strange."Professor Paul said in surprise, bewildered.Before he finished speaking, David continued:"This ancient bronze helmet looks perfectly fit and is very closely integrated with the marble head sculpture. If this bronze helmet is removed, does the head have no ears?"Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:"It should be like this, but for the sake of protecting antiques and cultural relics, we can't take off this ancient bronze helmet for the time being. We must study it carefully before trying to find a way to take it off.I have never seen such an ancient Roman sculpture before. Based on this alone, this ancient Roman general head sculpture has a high research value. This antique relic may allow us to see a different ancient Rome.Given that this ancient Roman general head sculpture came from Rabat, which was once the site of Carthage, we can also think that this may be the result of the localization of ancient Roman sculpture art.In fact, on this ancient Roman general head sculpture, in addition to the strong artistic color of ancient Roman sculpture, we can also see a trace of the influence of exotic culture, but it is not very obvious."Yes, Steven, this explanation seems to make sense. This may be a product of the combination of ancient Roman culture with Carthaginian culture and African culture."Professor Paul agreed, and the rest nodded.Next, everyone took a closer look at the sculpture of the head of an ancient Roman general, and then turned their attention to the second item on the table.This is a metal object that has been deformed by a slate. It is not large, and it does not appear to be broken. It is also covered with mud.The second item was cleaned very quickly, and the mud on its surface was washed away in a blink of an eye, revealing the underlying color.Under that layer of mud, there was a dazzling golden light that made everyone dizzy.When everyone adapts to the changes in light, they will find out.This is a golden jug in the shape of a clay pot, with a raised ear on each side and no handle.On the surface of this golden jug, there are engraved patterns of the drunkenness of Bacchus, the ancient Roman **** of wine, as well as many very exquisite ornaments and patterns.The only pity is that this golden jug from ancient Rome has been smashed and deformed, but fortunately it is not damaged.This is gold, which is relatively soft in texture and has good ductility, which is why it is like this.If it was replaced with other metals, such as bronze, it is estimated that it would have already cracked.When everyone saw this ancient golden jug clearly, they were shocked by it, so much so that they were stunned for a moment.Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation of excitement at the scene."I'm going! It's actually an ancient Roman golden jug. This is too rare and too beautiful. There is no doubt that this is definitely a top antique cultural relic and art""Seriously, I have never seen such a beautiful ancient Roman golden jug before. This is the first time I have seen it, and it is even more special from the Carthage region."While exclaiming, everyone also talked about it."This ancient Roman golden jug seems to be relatively intact and not damaged. It should be possible to restore it to its original state, which would be great."Professor Paul said excitedly.Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded."Yes, this ancient Roman golden jug should be restored to its original state, but it must be carefully studied and restored carefully without causing damage.Once it is restored to its original appearance, it will definitely cause quite a stir, and it will also become a top ancient Roman antique and art."Everyone admired this ancient Roman golden jug for a while, and then looked at the third antique relic.Just as Nick was about to rinse the mud on the surface of this antique relic, there was a burst of ecstatic cheers at the bottom of the pit next to him."Wow! There are a lot of ancient Roman gold coins here, all of which seem to be Emperor Trajan's gold coins"Following this sound, everyone immediately turned to look at the video at the bottom of the pit.I saw the guy standing at the bottom of the pit holding a gold coin, admiring it with intoxication.He had wiped off the mud from the ancient Roman gold coin, and under the sunlight, the gold coin radiated an incomparably bright golden light.Seeing this scene, everyone was excited.Ye Tian immediately zoomed in on the video, and then looked at the gold coin.The next moment, he gave an affirmative answer."Yes, that is Emperor Trajan's gold coin!"
