Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 511 Confirmation
"Are you saying that my live broadcast is very popular this time?" Liang En asked a little puzzled, because in his impression, although the threshold for live broadcast is very low, even a mobile phone with better quality can do it, but it must be done well The difficulty is not small.

To get more viewers on your live stream, you have to be either skilled, good-looking, or both, and you want people to see what they want to see.

Of course, it is also very important to master some skills of communicating with people. After all, there are people on the other side of the screen. To make people willing to watch you or even pay for you naturally requires some effort in interaction.

And Liang En's live broadcast this time can definitely be regarded as a negative example of the live broadcast industry, because he basically did not have any interaction with the audience behind the camera. It adds up to less than 20 sentences.

It's not that he doesn't want to communicate, but that he's really busy with work during this time and can't find time to communicate.

"At least I think it's pretty good. The average number of viewers is 60, and it can reach more than 100 million at the peak." The editor in charge nodded and said, "The main thing is that the live broadcast of archaeological excavations can still arouse people's curiosity. heart."

"Especially when you found the suspected orichanite brass block and judged that this place is likely to be the prototype of Atlantis described by Plato, there were a lot of audiences, because this is something that everyone is very interested in."

"More importantly, your identity as a well-known writer and your current identity as an archaeologist and historian create a strange contrast, which makes everyone want to know more about you."

"You are right. This is indeed one reason, but I think there is another reason because you have helped a lot in this live broadcast." Liang En looked at his responsible person with a smile. said the editor.

Because Liang En knew that his account on social media was managed by this editor during this time, and thanks to his help, this actually boring content was able to attract so many viewers.

So in the next period of time, Liang En simply brought the newly acquired books to the excavation site, and then took advantage of the break time of the excavation work to sign these books.

Although doing so may make the book dirty with mud, but from the feedback, readers not only don't mind, but seem to like this kind of book more.

Because a series of valuable things had been unearthed, the Greek side also agreed to Liang En's application to allow foreign archaeological teams to enter the site to conduct archaeological excavations in addition to their own archaeological excavators.

So in the following week, a lot of valuable things were discovered, for example, a large number of mural remains were cleared out of the houses near the Triangle Square.

However, considering the fragility of these murals, the archaeologists over there had to slow down their actions, so that more people were put into the metal smelting factory that Liang En and the others discovered.

As the manpower became sufficient, the excavation progress also became faster, and some very crucial things were found in the metal finishing workshop behind the smelter.

In order to find the location of the target, Liang En and the others used metal detectors to detect and then excavated. Although most of the time they dug up some scrap metal or mines, sometimes they could find some valuable things. .

"This is an amulet in the style of ancient Egypt." After cleaning up the dirt on a piece of metal, Liang En found that what appeared in his hand was a semi-finished amulet made of precious metal.

Judging from the location of this amulet, it should have fallen into a corner during an earthquake, and then was ignored by those craftsmen who were in a hurry to flee for their lives, and has remained until today.

After finishing the cleaning work, Liang En was surprised to find that there was a line of ancient Egyptian writing on the back of the amulet made of gold, which read: Witness our friendship with gold, silver and orichanite.

Considering the close communication between the Cretan civilization and the ancient Egyptian region at that time, it is not surprising that this place has jewelry made for the ancient Egyptians.

However, compared to other things, the most valuable point of this amulet is that the text behind it directly indicates that the raw material of this thing is mountain copper.

Unlike Linear A, ancient Egyptian is a language that has been recognized as being translated, so after excluding the gold and silver on this amulet, it can be confirmed that the copper alloy on it is the legendary mountain copper.

"A great discovery, which means that legends are not necessarily just legends." said the scholar who is in charge of the study of the early civilization of ancient Greece at the National Museum of Greece who is currently working here.

"If we combine other cultural relics, I think we can boldly guess that this is indeed the prototype of the legendary Atlantis in the real world."

The other cultural relics mentioned here are some black soil found in the smelting site. At first, everyone thought that these soils were nothing special, but Liang En pointed out that the soil in those jars was completely different from the surrounding soil.

So these black soils were taken for testing, and through the observation of organic matter in the soil and the testing of the overall composition, we can confirm that these soils come from the Black Sea coastal area in Ukraine, and contain a large proportion of zinc.

In other words, the ancients probably discovered by accident that the soil from the Black Sea coast combined with copper ore can produce shiny brass, so they consciously made this copper alloy and named it Orichalcum.

But the content of the metal zinc in the soil was uncertain, causing most smelting to fail, which further led people to associate the copper alloy with gods and various supernatural phenomena. .

"So it's really surprising that the legendary and magical oricyte is such a thing." Harry seemed a little disappointed. For a occultist, this conclusion was a bit shocking. people.

"But we also know that the ancient legends are not purely fabricated. At least most of the legends seem to have some facts as their basis." Liang En turned his head and looked at Professor Harry and said.

"So this also means that it is not completely impossible for us to find the legendary things. Maybe one day we can really find the content that really belongs to the myth."

Of course, what Liang En didn't say was that although there are no gods in this world, the human thoughts gathered by such legends can bring him the power like gods.

At least according to the experience of opening so many cards, those cards related to mythology are actually valuable, because Liang En can obtain some magical abilities.

Professor Harry naturally didn't know this, but he was encouraged by Liang En's affirmative tone, and his spirit naturally lifted up quickly, and he began to explain to his students about Atlantis legend.

Compared with Professor Harry's somewhat awkward mentality, the other people on the field are purely happy now, because they have now discovered a very important piece of history.
