Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 121 Another Ruin

Archaeologists are often able to discover the information left by ancient humans from the remains.For example, these rubbish in the eyes of ordinary people can make them analyze a lot of interesting things.

For example, these archaeologists can deduce the time when the banquet was held and the eating habits of the local people through these bones, fruit stones and other things.

It is even possible to further deduce a series of contents such as the financial situation and logistics situation of this region through the recipes discovered at last.

And this is why archaeologists hate those private treasure hunters, because those private treasure hunters only focus on items with sufficient economic value, which in turn will destroy many carriers of information.

"This statue must be very valuable." Fan Meng whispered while looking at the statue of Mithras placed on the main seat of the cave.Because he found that this statue was very similar to a similar statue now hidden in the British Imperial Museum in London.

Considering that the statue was rated as one of the top [-] cultural relics of the British Empire Museum, Fan Meng felt that if this statue was sold, it would definitely not be difficult to sell it for millions or even millions of pounds.

"Yeah, it's very valuable, but unfortunately we can't sell this statue." Liang En said looking at this white marble statue as warm as ivory.

According to British law, Liang En now owns the ownership of the sun cave and everything in it.But not only can he not sell any of them, he is also obliged to keep them.

"That is to say, the things we dug up not only can't make money, but also keep losing money?" After hearing Liang En's explanation, Fan Meng's eyes widened.

"To be precise, it should be a temporary loss of money." Liang En said, staring at the exquisite statues in the cave and the complete mosaic patterns embedded on the walls and floors.

"This place should be the most luxurious sun cave in the whole of Britain. It has a very high artistic value, and it is not far from the Anthony Great Wall attraction. So it should be able to make money if it is developed."

"Don't forget, I bought not only this cave from that real estate businessman, but also the surrounding land of more than 900 mu. Although more than half of it is mountain forest, the remaining flat land can be used to develop some ancillary services. It's still fine."

"That's right, the cave must be kept intact, but it didn't say that commercial real estate cannot be developed in the surrounding area." Fan Meng clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Even if the scale here is not big, it must be very profitable."

While Professor Brown was leading his group of students in the deepest hall of the cave to use various tools to sample from the crevices of the stones, Liang En walked out of the cave quickly and dialed a number stored in his mobile phone.

Soon, the phone was connected, and then a somewhat deep voice came from the microphone. "Glad to receive your call again, Mr. Liang. What did you dig this time?"

On the phone was Dr David Caldwell of Scotland's Underground Treasures Unit, who seemed very enthusiastic after discovering that it was Leung who had called him.

After all, Dr. Caldwell has been paying attention to this young man since Liang En dug the Iron Age gold ring last time.

It turned out that this young man not only discovered many historically significant things in just half a year, but also made great academic achievements.

Therefore, in Dr. Caldwell's view, Liang En is obviously a genius in this area.So after receiving Liang En's call, his first reaction was that this young man whom he was very optimistic about discovered something important.

"Yes, I found a well-preserved sun cave on my land near the ruins of the ancient Roman town to the south of the garrison attraction on the Antonine city wall."

"This Sun Cave should have been abandoned when the Anthony Great Wall was abandoned. The believers took away almost all the things that could be taken away in the cave before leaving, but the stone carvings left behind look very exquisite—— "

Liang En introduced his previous discovery with the fastest speech speed, and sent some of the photos taken before through the Internet.

Obviously, those exquisite sculptures and mosaics made Dr. Caldwell feel very shocked, so after more than ten seconds of silence in the middle, he reacted and continued talking with Liang En on the phone.

"This is a great discovery. After waiting for us for two or three hours, our people will rush there immediately. Also, that Professor Brown from Durham University is a professional in this field, you can trust him. "

"It seems that we have two or three hours." After hanging up the phone, Liang En put away the phone and picked up the metal detector and said to Fan Meng. "We can see if there are any other interesting things around."

From the exquisiteness of this cave, Liang En could see that the financial, material and manpower wasted to complete this small palace, so he thought that there should be some traces of other personnel activities around this cave.

And the facts were the same as Liang En's analysis. Just after they explored an area the size of a basketball court on the gravel-filled soil slope, the metal detector in his hand rang again.

Liang En stood up straight and observed the surrounding situation, only to find that he was standing less than 20m away from the cave just now, and the metal reaction was in the stone wall under his feet.

"What did you find?" After hearing the siren of the metal detector, Fan Meng who was not far away ran over and asked. "I remember that your detector should only react to noble metals."

"Yes, there should be silver under the sound." Liang En put down the metal detector and took out the shovel to start digging, while Fan Meng was helping him.

Soon, a section that looked like the upper half of the cave appeared before their eyes.

At the same time, Liang En also found the thing that caused the metal detector to respond just now: a 19th-century one-crown horse sword silver coin with a relief carved on the side of George III's head.

What's even more strange is that this silver coin was not stuck somewhere like a lost coin, but was wrapped in a carbonized fabric and stuffed in a crack in the stone.

"Do you think this thing is something left by the Freemasonry?" Fan Meng said after glancing at the coin.

Because this silver coin was issued between 1818 and 1820, just before the era of the former Freemason who left the lead sheet before, this can not help but make people think.

"Then we have to continue digging." Liang En rubbed his numb hands and started digging.Fortunately, the location of this cave is much higher than that of the previous one, so the amount of earth excavated will naturally not be the same.

Soon, Liang En and the others appeared a wooden board that looked at least 1m5 wide and was covered with a layer of rusty iron sheet from under the crack where the silver coins were previously hidden.

"You're right, there shouldn't be only one ruin in this place." After seeing the iron-clad board, which was obviously used as a wooden door to block the opening, Fan Meng stepped forward and tapped with his fingers before turning his head and said.

"It's just that judging from this wooden board, I don't think it's a product of the ancient Roman era. Because the ancient Roman era certainly didn't have such obviously mechanically produced iron nails and iron sheets."
