Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 638 The Hill
Because it was getting late, Liang En and the others simply studied on the spot on this small hill.After learning of Liang En's discovery, many people in the large army also rushed over and started researching new discoveries with them.

"These things should belong to the decoration on the vehicle of a leader who has both royal power and religious nature." Because of the large number of people and the strength, Liang En quickly figured out what the pattern on the top was and made his own judge.

In addition to the oaks, acorns and oak leaves found at the beginning, these panels also contain images of the famous Celtic sword and the goddess Victory, an important Celtic deity.

When all these elements are gathered together, the whole has a clear direction, that is, the identity of the owner of this chariot is absolutely very honorable.

After all, according to the Celtic tradition, their secular power was in the hands of high-ranking warriors and nobles, while divine power was in the hands of Druids. Only the royal family could hold these two powers at the same time.

"Do you think this is the chariot used by Queen Boudica?" After Liang En finished his judgment, one of Professor Harry's students suddenly said.

"It can only be said that it is possible." Professor Harry said, pointing to the pile of metal on the middle table. "After all, these things are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. At least ordinary chariots will only use wood and a small amount of metal, and there will be absolutely no decorations."

"But on the other hand, it's unlikely that the ancient Roman army would have given up such iconic trophies, so it's a bit odd that these things are here."

The strangeness that Harry mentioned means that it is obviously abnormal to leave these things in this kind of headquarters that are obviously stationed by the British Celts, because for the ancient Romans, such trophies are the best way to show their bravery. Should not have stayed.

So after thinking about it all night, they launched a larger-scale inspection and exploration the next day, and Liang En led a few people to the side of the small slope away from the valley mouth to start a large-scale search and excavation.

"Why did we dig this place?" Seeing that Liang En had designated the location needed for today, Pierce glanced at the top of the slope that was being dug in full swing and asked Liang En curiously.

In his opinion, since they found such a valuable thing before, they should start a large-scale excavation at the top of the hillside while the iron is hot, instead of running to the bottom of the hillside where there seems to be nothing.

"Because I think the things discovered yesterday are not normal. At least the things buried so shallow and hastily buried on the battlefield can't be searched by the ancient Romans, so I thought of another possibility."

After hearing Pierce's question, Liang En stood there leaning on a shovel, and then explained to him a conjecture he came up with after thinking about it all night yesterday.

"I think you have also seen that this soil slope is in the impact fan at the mouth of the valley, so I guess that the things we excavated in the past were buried very deep, but it was only because of several floods that stripped the soil above that they were almost destroyed by us." Shovel out."

According to Liang En's deduction, when Queen Boudica was defeated and ran away, there was a high probability that she also learned Cao Cao's spirit of cutting her beard and abandoning her robe, and she gave up all conspicuous signs before running away.

Therefore, such a chariot that is extremely conspicuous but not very convenient to move is naturally impossible to use as a running tool, and it is very likely that it will be directly abandoned on the battlefield.

At the same time, judging from the records of the ancient Romans, the two ancient Roman historians recorded in detail the cause, process, and results of the war, as well as the results of the ancient Roman army, and even greatly exaggerated the results of the Roman side with the spring and autumn style of writing.

But what's interesting is that the other party seemed a little vague in the description of the final spoils, only saying that they had obtained part of the wealth and captives, and did not list a detailed list of spoils.

This is not normal, because the ancient Romans had a morbid obsession with various records, and they tended to record everything they saw in detail through various means.

This kind of record is not just a simple document record, but also a large number of carvings made on various public facilities, which has also provided sufficient information for modern people to study the history of ancient Rome.

However, this record of the Battle of the British Peninsula is not normal, because none of the records create a list of the spoils of this battle, neither documents nor engravings.

Therefore, according to Liang En's guess, before the defeat, Queen Boudica should have destroyed her own iconic items and buried them near the command post before fleeing lightly.

Considering the chaos on the battlefield and the fact that the Romans were actually taking the initiative to attack, as long as Queen Boudica pushed her own things deep enough, it was basically guaranteed that she would not be found by the Romans.

For the Romans, it was the right thing to quickly retreat or pursue this kind of battle away from their own territory and deep into the complex terrain, because staying in place could easily be attacked by the British using the terrain.

Therefore, it is very reasonable that the ancient Romans who stayed here for a short time could not find, or could not find all the things hidden by Boudica.

"There are traces of water washing many times here, and it is obvious that the sediments are accumulated on the side of the hillside facing the mountain pass." After looking at the stones and various things mixed in the soil, Pierce revealed Professional level.

"That's right, and this place used to be a battlefield. The ancient Romans and Celts fought fiercely here. It might be the last battle." Liang En said, looking at the excavated things.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a large pile of man-made objects, including broken gun heads, dagger fragments, slingshots or broken arrows. From these things, we can see the intensity of the previous battle here.

"These things should be things that were originally left on the surface of the top of the hillside. It is very likely that I was washed here by the seasonal flood in the valley and everything on the surface of the mountain." Liang En explained pointing to these things.

"In other words, these things were originally on the top of the slope." Joan of Arc said after looking at the weapons that were identical to the weapons dug out before, "It's just that these things were buried shallower, so they were washed down by the flood. "

"More than that, I guess these things may have been buried on purpose back then, in order to disturb the sight of the Romans. After all, for the Romans, these scraps of copper and iron are really not worth digging." Liang En pointed out with a smile .

"Before I discovered that the vehicle accessories excavated from above were only accessories, without the imagined vehicle itself or the remaining organic matter. It is very likely that Boudica removed the accessories and hid them alone."

"It makes sense, and I think the opponent's vehicle should have been destroyed immediately." Joan of Arc also thought of something at this time and said.

"At least the method of destroying these wooden products on the battlefield is also very simple. It is enough to find a fire. Boudica can completely burn everything he wants to destroy before the Romans attack."

"That is to say, the things we discovered before are very likely to belong to the middle and high-level generals of Boudica's army, and even the remnants of the vehicles of Boudica himself."
