Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 139 Heading towards the sea
After learning Liang En's identity, Daniel seemed a little excited, because compared with most people who are basically Arabized, Copts have always considered themselves to be authentic descendants of ancient Egyptians.
Therefore, they naturally have a certain affection for Liang En, a person who deciphered ancient Egyptian characters and promoted the splendid civilization of ancient Egypt to the outside world.
Although this also confirmed to him that the things in his hands were indeed not very valuable, the happiness of seeing his favorite star had completely covered up the depression caused by the worthlessness of the things in his hands.
"Mr. Liang, in fact, according to the legend passed down by our ancestors, if you keep following the dry valley in the village to the upper reaches of the river, you will find some ancient carvings on the stone walls on both sides."
After confirming Liang En's identity, Daniel quickly told a legend that had been circulating in the village for who knows how many years. However, judging from his expression, he didn't seem to trust the legend very much.
After all, these legends were stories told to them by the old people in the village when they were young, and they were mixed with a series of myths and legends, so when Daniel thought about it now, he always felt that those stories were not very credible.
The reason why Daniel talked about this legend was that he hoped to invite Liang En to visit his hometown when he was free. If he could find some ancient ruins, their village might be able to improve its economy through tourism.
Of course, Daniel didn't have much hope in this matter. But after he realized Liang En's identity, he subconsciously talked about things that might be related to ancient Egypt.
"What did you think of just now?" On the way home after sending Daniel to his destination, Fan Meng suddenly asked Liang En, who was looking at his cell phone.
Because he noticed that Liang En and Daniel just exchanged mobile phone numbers and email addresses, and this was not at all what Liang En was accustomed to doing with a stranger.
"You know, I have been checking a series of documents related to ancient Egypt recently in order to write as much as possible the first book I am going to publish." After hearing Fan Meng's question, Liang En found the content he wanted. Said putting down the phone.
"And in the books I found before, there are repeated references to the large amounts of supplies shipped from the Sinai Peninsula, including a series of valuable minerals."
"So I suspect that the ruins near Daniel's hometown are probably related to those ancient mines. If we find them, we might be able to make a fortune."
What Liang En didn't say was that after comparing it with the memories of previous lives in his mind, he realized that the stone carvings discovered by Daniel's ancestors probably came from a relatively famous ancient mine. If they were done well, there was a chance that they could be used. Make a fortune.
Of course, it will be at least half a year before I really want to go to Egypt. After all, this kind of thing requires sufficient preparation, and Liang En has a lot of things to do in the first half of the year and doesn't have much time to do this.
For more than three months, Liang En stayed in his room almost all the time. Because he decided to compile his first book before setting off to find Vinland.
Fortunately, although there is a lot of content in these books that needs to be revised based on new archaeological excavations, the overall writing speed is not too slow because of the original copy.
When the time came to May, Robuchon's housekeeper called Liang En to inform him that everything was ready and ready to go. Liang En's "Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics System" was completely completed.
After sending the manuscript of this book to several scholars and publishers they met during the last archaeological trip, Liang En and Fan Meng took only two days to pack all their luggage and went straight to the airport.
According to the plan, they will take a plane to Greenland, and then follow the expedition route of the explorer known as the Red-Haired Son in the data to find the legendary Vinland.
"Where do you think Vinland will be? The United States, Canada or -" After getting on the plane, Fan Meng asked about the goals of this operation plan.
"If what those records say is true, then I think it's Canada."
Although there was some memory of the scientific research in his previous life in his mind, in fact, after a simple analysis, he found that there were traces of what was there.
"This is mainly because the size of the Viking ships at that time was limited. At the same time, apart from a simple sail, the power relied purely on human power and sea currents, so their range on the sea was really limited."
"So in that case, if you follow the east coastline of North America all the way south, it is basically impossible for the other party to reach the United States alive today."
"On the other hand, both records and facts tell us that the motivation for Viking colonization was to find a variety of resources. So places too far north in Canada were also excluded."
"After all, the Vikings are not reindeer, so they can't live on just a little bit of moss growing on rocks and the ground. And even if they can really eat moss, living at 20 to 30 degrees below zero without fuel is not something humans can do. I can handle it.”
"If you exclude the Hudson Bay and most of the land in the north, and then exclude the coastline of the United States in the south, I think there won't be many places we need to search this time." Fan Meng looked at the map and said.
"You are right, but the distance that is only one knuckle length on the map is hundreds of kilometers in reality. It is basically impossible to find it by a boat." Liang En shrugged. .
"So for us, the real work starts as soon as we set foot in Greenland, because we need more information to narrow down what's possible."
It is for this reason that Liang En did not choose to go directly when the ship arrived at the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands. Instead, he chose to go to Greenland to investigate from the source.
After the plane landed at Nuuk Airport, the capital of Greenland, Liang En and Fan Meng went straight to the archives in the city.
Thanks to the Earl's status here, they can directly access those ancient materials.
Of course, only a few of these materials are originals engraved on metal or written on parchment, while most are photos of stone tablets scattered throughout southern Greenland.
After all, compared to imported papyrus or homemade parchment, writing on stones is more likely to survive through a long period of time to this day. However, because the stone is so large, only some rubbings and photos can be stored in the archives.
Soon, Liang En and Fan Meng sorted out this batch of information related to the colonial voyage.
Although Fan Meng didn't know runes, Liang En wrote down the runes of the keywords he was looking for and asked Fan Meng to compare them directly through the images. As long as he found the related patterns, he would call him.
In fact, if it is an archive located in Europe or the United States, you don't have to worry about it at all. You can quickly find the information you want from the electronic content.
Unfortunately, this place is too small and relatively simple overall, so Liang En can only use the oldest method to search for what he needs.
However, because not many of the Viking records have survived to this day through a long period of time, Liang En was able to sort out some very meaningful information in just two days.
