Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 1616: The legend of Atlantis
The excited white man in his fifties is also a professor at Columbia University's School of History. His research direction is Middle Eastern Arab history and he is also an expert in Arabic.
Hearing his words, everyone in this small reception room flashed a surprise. Is there any major discovery?
When his voice fell, Ye Tian immediately pointed his finger at a single sofa next to him, and said with a smile:
"Please sit down first, Professor Paul, let's sit down and speak slowly"
Professor Paul nodded lightly, then walked to the single sofa and sat down, the expression on his face still excited.
Then, Ye Tian asked curiously:
"Professor Paul, tell me about the results of your research and interpretation. What does that mysterious string of Arabic text mean? What are the major secrets hidden behind it? I am very curious.
To be honest, in order to interpret the mysterious string of Arabic, I almost rummaged through the Arabic dictionary, but found nothing. I never understood the meaning of the string.
In desperation, I contacted you through Professor Kane. Please help interpret the string of text. I didn’t expect that in just two days, you successfully deciphered that string of text. Admire! "
Listening to Ye Tian's compliment, the eyes of the professor of Middle Eastern Arab History at Columbia University couldn't help showing a bit of pride!
Everyone loves to hear compliments, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, it is all the same, and this Professor Paul is no exception!
"Of course, I, a Middle Eastern Arab historian and Arabic expert, did not give it for nothing. Deciphering Arabic is not a matter of hand!"
After some self-satisfaction, Professor Paul smiled and said:
"Steven, it's normal for you to be unable to decipher the mysterious Arabic script, because it is ancient Arabic and it is a very uncommon place name, and few people know it at all.
Ancient Arabic refers to the characters used from the Umayyad dynasty to the Abbasid dynasty, that is, from the seventh century to the ninth century, and it is mainly used in writing, which is different from spoken language.
This string of mysterious characters is in ancient Arabic, which is not found in modern Arabic dictionaries. Except for some experts who study Arabic characters, almost no one knows these classical characters.
And this string of mysterious words is the name of an ancient city, that city only exists in ancient legends, few people know it, and its name has never even appeared in any classics.
According to legend, that ancient city was located on the Atlantic coast, in what is now Morocco, very close to the famous city of Casablanca, but the exact location is unknown.
As early as hundreds of years ago, that city seemed to have evaporated, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only some mysterious legends. As time goes by, those legends are almost unknown!
Because of this, this string of mysterious Arabic is difficult to decipher. We also combined some ancient Arabic books and legends, carefully studied and deliberated, and finally reached this result"
"Wow! It turns out that it is ancient Arabic, and it has never appeared in any classics. No wonder I can't find it in Arabic dictionaries. It was a waste of effort to co-author."
Ye Tian said suddenly, and shook his head slightly.
Professor Paul took a deep look at him, and then continued:
"Steven, if I guess right, this mysterious ancient Arabic script should come from the golden crown you found in the English Channel? It's the text engraved inside that crown.
After discovering the golden crown, you only showed the appearance. The golden crown is very exquisite, luxurious and breathtaking. It is obviously a top-notch antique cultural relic of pricelessness.
However, you have kept the Arabic script engraved inside that golden crown secret, and never revealed any relevant information until you come up with this mysterious ancient Arabic script.
Behind this string of mysterious ancient Arabic, is there any other text or number information? If so, Steven, can you show me those words or numbers? "
After speaking, Professor Paul stared closely at Ye Tian's face, eyes full of expectation, looking forward to hearing the best answer.
Ye Tian looked at the Middle Eastern Arab historian, and said to himself:
"You guessed it, man, after the ancient Arabic place name, there is indeed a string of numbers, but I am very sorry, that is my secret, it is impossible to tell anyone else"
Although thought so in his heart, what Ye Tian said in his mouth was another set of words.
"Professor Paul, haven't you said the name of that ancient city. According to the legends circulating in the Arab region of the Middle East, where is the ancient city in Casablanca? How far is it?
More importantly, what is the huge secret behind that legendary ancient city? It’s so exciting for you. I really want to know about this information"
Ye Tian avoided the question raised by Paul, but threw out the question he most wanted to know the answer to. This is exactly the purpose of his hiring Professor Paul to interpret the mysterious text.
If it’s just to get a legendary ancient place name, why bother to spend so much time?
Hearing these questions from Ye Tian, Betty and Professor Kane all looked at Professor Paul. Everyone was full of curiosity and wanted to know the answers to these questions.
"What a cunning bastard, he didn't even reveal his words, it's horrible! It's a waste of my energy and mind to study that mysterious string of ancient Arabic"
Professor Paul murmured a few words secretly, and then told his research results.
"How to pronounce the mysterious ancient Arabic characters is no longer verified. Even me, an expert in Arabic, cannot pronounce the characters accurately.
I can only interpret its connotation, the string of words means "the city of the sea", that is to say, the ancient city originally located near Casablanca is called the city of the sea"
"It turned out to be the city of the sea, the name sounds very good, very bold!"
Ye Tian said suddenly, nodding lightly.
After a short pause, Professor Paul continued:
"The exact location of the city of the sea is no longer known, but according to related legends circulating in the Arab region of North Africa, it should be in the northeast of Casablanca, not too far away.
From Casablanca, follow the coastline to the northeast, not far from Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and continue along the Atlantic coastline to the northeast, the Strait of Gibraltar"
Everyone nodded at the same time. As for these geographical knowledge, everyone still knows better.
Without a pause, Professor Paul continued to explain, and his tone and expression became more and more excited.
"I don’t know if you have read the famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s book, "The Dialogue," which mentioned the city of the sea when the legend of Atlantis was mentioned.
Plato described in his book that Atlantis is located on the ‘Pillar of Hercules’, which is today’s outside of the Strait of Gibraltar, meaning ‘the real sea’, that is, the Atlantic Ocean.
In addition to pointing out the specific location of Atlantis, Plato also briefly described the city of Atlantis, including the name of the city of the sea.
This legendary city of the sea near Casablanca is highly overlapped with the city of the sea mentioned by Plato in "The Dialogue", regardless of its name or geographic location.
In addition, Socrates’ disciple and Plato’s cousin, Coricias has emphasized the authenticity of Atlantis three times, based on the famous ancient Greek poet Sauron.
Sauron is one of the seven saints of ancient Greece, with a wise name. During a trip to Egypt, he once heard an old Egyptian priest mention Atlantis and praised him.
Coricias learned from Sauron that Atlantis is a highly civilized continent with a very large sphere of influence, including the Atlantic coast of North Africa.
In the legend of the city of the sea in the Arab region of North Africa, this mysterious and ancient city seems to be very different from other cities in the same area, and it seems out of place!
Perhaps it is because of the difference between the two civilizations that the city of the sea has always been in a forgotten corner. It has never appeared in any Arabic classics ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ only exists in legends.
Even the sudden disappearance of the city of the sea was also due to the conflict between two civilizations. In the Middle Ages, no matter in Europe or the Arab region of North Africa, there was no room for aliens!
Speaking of this, you must have already understood that the city "City of the Sea" pointed to by this string of ancient Arabic words is probably related to the disappearing continent "Atlantis".
If this conjecture is confirmed, it will surely cause a huge sensation all over the world, follow this clue to explore, if you really find Atlantis, that scene..."
At this point, Professor Paul's eyes were raised unconsciously, and he looked straight at the blue sky outside the window, with an expression of fascination, and even a crazy light flashed in his eyes.
As for the other people in the reception room, they were completely silly at this time, sitting in their seats dumbfounded, eyes full of incredible and crazy.
Like everyone else, Ye Tian's situation is no better, his eyes are wide and round, and his two eyeballs are about to fly out!
It took a long time before he woke up from the huge shock.
"Gosh! It is the city of the sea mentioned by Plato in "The Dialogue," and it is the disappearing continent ‘Atlantis’. This is crazy!"
With Ye Tian's emotion, the rest of the people on the scene were all awakened.
Immediately afterwards, this small reception room was completely fried, and the exclamation sounded.
