Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 3014: Ark of True and False
In the next few days, the tripartite joint exploration team went to several other places in Sudan to continue their exploration.
Unfortunately, everyone found nothing and did not find the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant.
Afterwards, the tripartite joint exploratory team rested in Sudan for a day, and then drove further south to Ethiopia in the south.
After seven or eight hours of rushing, the joint exploration convoy finally arrived at the northern border of Ethiopia at about four in the afternoon.
This is the edge of the northern plateau of Ethiopia, very close to Eritrea, another country in East Africa.
The tripartite joint exploration team entered the first exploration site in Ethiopia, at the border of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
At this point, the joint exploration convoy had to slow down, follow behind other social vehicles in front, and slowly drove towards the border.
The joint exploratory convoy passed the Sudanese border without encountering any trouble.
However, when the convoy entered the Ethiopian border, it encountered the most stringent inspection since the joint exploratory operation, and it can even be said to be harsh.
At the border checkpoint in Ethiopia, there have long been a large number of heavily armed military police waiting.
In addition to a large number of armed military police, representatives of the Ethiopian government, as well as representatives of the Orthodox Church and the Iraqi religion, have also been waiting for a long time on the border.
In addition, there are Israeli ambassadors to Ethiopia and cultural counsellors.
These Israelis were full of worry, staring at the slowly approaching joint exploration convoy, and taking a look at the surrounding Ethiopians from time to time.
As soon as the joint exploratory convoy entered the territory of Ethiopia, the heavily armed Ethiopian military and police immediately surrounded it.
In an instant, they surrounded the joint exploration team.
The Israeli agents responsible for protecting the joint exploration convoy, as well as the members of the 13th Commando, immediately stood on high alert and stared at the Ethiopian military police with vigilance.
The many security personnel of the company are also in a state of high alert.
Everyone sitting in the car, all holding the assault rifles in their hands, ready to respond at any time.
With the actions of both parties, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to be filled with a choking smell of gunpowder.
Ye Tian, who was in an Israeli military vehicle, had already put on a Kevlar body armor. The loaded g36c short assault rifle was on hand, and he could fire when he picked it up.
He looked at the situation outside, and then said through the intercom:
"Matis, let the guys be more vigilant and ready to fight at any time. It can be seen that the Ethiopians do not welcome the arrival of the tripartite joint exploratory team.
In the event of a firefight later, everyone must protect all company employees and many experts and scholars, and withdraw to Sudan as soon as possible. Safety first! "
"Understood, Steven, I will inform all the guys and make everyone more vigilant!"
Matisse responded and moved quickly.
David, who was sitting in the same car with Ye Tian, couldn't help but feel a little startled looking at the situation outside.
"Let me go! Why do Ethiopians behave like this? Many of them looked at the tripartite joint exploration team, and their eyes seemed to be full of hatred and anger, gnashing their teeth.
The behavior of Ethiopians is different from that of Yemenis, Egyptians, and Sudanese. Why is this? Is it because of the hatred with the Israelis? "
Ye Tian turned to look at this guy, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry too much. This is more of an effort by the Ethiopians to give the tripartite joint exploratory team. They shouldn't really attack the tripartite joint exploratory team. They can't bear the consequences!"
To say which country and people in this world do not want the tripartite joint exploration team to find Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, it must be Ethiopia and almost all Ethiopians.
According to legend, after the Babylonians captured Jerusalem, they began to ransack the Temple of Solomon. Menelik I risked his life to transfer the ark and returned to Ethiopia with the ark.
Menelik I thus became the founder of the Ethiopian dynasty. The Ark of the Covenant was also left in Ethiopia. Ethiopian Christians believed that the Ark was kept in the Church of St. Mary in Axu."
"I've also heard of this. Is it true that the ark of the covenant is in the church of Santa Maria? If so, why did Israel and the Vatican bother to find the ark of the covenant?"
David continued and said, obviously he didn't know why.
Ye Tian shook his head and continued:
"The Church of St. Mary has thus become the most important religious holy place in Ethiopia. The ark storage is said to be guarded by a priest and cannot be entered by outsiders, but no one can confirm whether the ark exists.
There is also a saying that in the 1990s, due to the turbulent situation in Ethiopia and frequent wars, the Israeli government sent a special force in 1993 to secretly transport the Ark to Israel.
It now appears that the latter statement is obviously false, but it is a false rumor. Otherwise, the Israelis would not find our company to jointly explore Solomon’s treasure and the ark.
But is the ark of the covenant really stored in the church of St. Mary in Axu, Ethiopia? Christians and Iisans in Ethiopia basically believe that the ark is really in that church.
Believers in almost all other countries and three major religions do not believe that the ark is really in Ethiopia. People think that it is hidden in a very secret place and will eventually appear one day.
The tripartite joint exploration team came to Ethiopia this time to explore the treasures of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant. If we find the Ark of the Covenant, it is not in the Church of St. Mary in Axu.
Under this circumstance, how will the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Iraqi Church handle themselves? How will we face the masses of believers and all the people of Ethiopia? That's why they have this attitude!
In addition, there is another point. When the Israeli military organized and implemented Operation Solomon and Operation Moses to evacuate the Beta Israelis from Ethiopia, they also completely offended the Ethiopians!
Especially the Ethiopian military, that is an indelible shame! Because of this, they will be full of anger and hatred when they see the Israeli military and police protecting the tripartite joint exploration team! "
"Wow! There are so many stories in this. It seems that this trip to Ethiopia by the three-party joint exploration team is destined to not be peaceful!"
David sighed with emotion, but also a little worried.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and said with a smile:
"Indeed, this trip to Ethiopia will surely be troublesome, and perhaps the most difficult and dangerous part of the exploration journey in this tripartite joint exploration operation.
In the course of this exploration, we may be attacked by some religious extremists. The attackers may be Orthodox Christians or others! "
While they were chatting, Joshua, Seaman and others had got out of the car and walked over to the Ethiopian officials and religious figures, ready to negotiate with each other.
At the same time, the heavily armed Ethiopian military and police at the scene still stared at the Israeli agents and soldiers who were protecting the tripartite joint exploratory team, with a fierce look in their eyes!
The atmosphere at the scene is still very tense, and it seems that there is a possibility of wiping out the gun at any time!
As Ye Tian expected, the reason why the Ethiopians presented this kind of scene is more to give the three-party joint exploration team a disarm, rather than to really block or even expel the three-party joint exploration team.
As a poor third world country, Ethiopia has not had the courage to offend Israel and the Vatican at the same time, let alone provoke Ye Tian, a difficult opponent.
They just want to show a gesture and bargain later.
The negotiations between Joshua and the Ethiopians did not go smoothly. After more than half an hour passed, the two sides had not yet reached a conclusion.
The consequence is that the tripartite joint exploration convoy can only stop at the Ethiopian border and wait patiently for customs clearance.
Other social vehicles behind the joint exploration convoy were also blocked here.
All vehicles can only line up in long lines, suffering under the scorching sun.
Fortunately, this is already a semi-desert area, located on the edge of the Ethiopian plateau. The temperature is not so hot, everyone can bear it!
It took more than ten minutes before Joshua and a few Ethiopian officials came out of the simple house at the border checkpoint and reappeared in everyone's field of vision.
Subsequently, an Ethiopian military officer issued an order to evacuate the heavily armed Ethiopian soldiers so that they no longer need to surround the tripartite joint exploratory convoy.
At the same time, Joshua brought several Ethiopian officials and religious figures straight to the military vehicle that Ye Tian was riding in.
When he came to the front, Joshua took the initiative to knock on the car window glass, obviously to talk to Ye Tian.
However, Ye Tian did not immediately lower the window glass.
He quickly scanned the surroundings, especially the buildings on the border between the two countries, the surrounding hills and other places, and quickly looked through these places.
After making sure that the surrounding area was safe and no one was in ambush, he then opened the door of the car and got down and stood by the car.
After getting out of the car, he nodded at the Ethiopians as a greeting.
Joshua stepped forward and whispered to him:
"Steven, these high-level officials from the Ethiopian government and religious figures want to get to know you and talk to you about exploring operations in Ethiopia!"
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Then talk about it, I would also like to know these Ethiopian friends"
Afterwards, Joshua took him to the Ethiopians.
After everyone met, it was naturally a polite greeting, introducing each other and so on.
Before shaking hands, these Ethiopians looked at Ye Tian's left cuff, and everyone had a look of horror in their eyes, which could not be concealed.
Obviously, they also knew what was hidden in that cuff.
That is a devil, or a **** of death, that makes everyone feel terrified and terrified!
The legend of the little white translucent cobra has now spread throughout Africa.
Almost everyone knows its existence and is afraid of it, and these Ethiopians are no exception.
In addition to being afraid of the little fellow of the White Elf, these Ethiopian officials and religious figures were quite enthusiastic and very polite.
Perhaps it is because Ye Tian is a Chinese.
The relationship between Ethiopia and China has always been good, and it has always been so enthusiastic to regard Chinese people as friends.
There is another reason, that is, the etiquette of Ethiopians is more cumbersome.
They always show excessive enthusiasm. When two people meet, the greeting time can sometimes reach one or two minutes, and the content of the greeting is all-encompassing, from each other's health to the harvest of the farmland and so on.
If you have something to talk about, you have to wait for each other to greet each other calmly before you can talk about substantive issues.
At this moment, Ye Tianche had a real experience of Ethiopian enthusiasm.
After going through this set of procedures, everyone now enters the topic.
"Hello, Mr. Steven, I heard from Mr. Joshua just now that this tripartite joint exploration operation is led by your Brave Exploration Company, or more preferably by you!"
The Deputy Minister of Culture of Ethiopia said that he is the Ethiopian with the highest official position here.
Ye Tian nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"It is true, Mr. Mustafa, this tripartite joint exploration of Solomon's Treasure and the Ark of the Covenant is indeed dominated by our Brave Exploration Company. This is to facilitate operations and command, and to avoid making a long one!"
"That's it, Mr. Steven. Regarding this tripartite joint exploration operation, our Ethiopian government and the Israeli government have reached some cooperation agreements before.
On the basis of these cooperation agreements, we still have some requirements. I hope you can agree to it. Only in this way can your joint exploratory team be able to proceed smoothly! "
"What are the requirements? You can talk about it, I'm very interested!"
"During your exploration in Ethiopia, in addition to the supervisors of our Ministry of Culture, the Orthodox Church and the Iraqi Church will send people to participate in the on-site supervision, but they will not interfere with your actions!
Another point is that our Ethiopian police will be responsible for the protection of the tripartite joint exploratory team during its stay in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian police will definitely ensure your safety. Please rest assured.
If you encounter something uncontrollable, such as a large-scale attack, you can deploy a legitimate defense within a reasonable range, but you must control the use of force and you must not kill in Ethiopia.
The **** killings that took place in the Siwa Oasis and Aswan, Egypt, must not be repeated in Ethiopia, especially the legendary little white cobra, you better not let it appear outside"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help chuckles.
"Mr. Mustafa, as long as you promise not to interfere with the normal conduct of the tripartite joint exploration operation, I have no reason not to agree to your request for on-site supervision.
As for the use of force, it depends on the situation. We never provoke any disputes, and we will not actively attack others, but we will never give up the power of self-defense!
We have always abide by the law and respect the laws of the country where we are located, but if someone attacks us, we will have to fight back if the police cannot provide protection.
That little white translucent cobra is actually not as scary as the rumors, but it's just a rumor. Don't worry, that little guy is still very obedient! "
Without exception, all the Ethiopians on the scene rolled their eyes ill-tempered.
You guys abide by the law? What a nonsense!
Do you want to go back and ask the Egyptians? Will they believe it?
After a short pause, an Ethiopian Orthodox monk suddenly interjected:
"Mr. Steven, you come to Ethiopia this time to explore the legendary Solomon Treasure. We have no objection to this, but let's just look for the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant is located in the Church of St. Mary in Axu. It has been stored there for more than two thousand years. All Ethiopians know about this! "
Ye Tian looked at the Orthodox monk, then smiled and said:
"I will not respond to all questions about religion and questions about the ark of the religious sacred object. In this joint exploration operation, we are only responsible for finding!
Regarding this issue, you can discuss with Israel and the Vatican and see what their attitude is. If they say they will not look for the ark, then I am very happy."
When the voice fell, the Orthodox monk stopped talking immediately.
He knew very well that it would be impossible for Israel and the Vatican to give up searching for the ark!
Next, everyone discussed cooperation matters for a while, and then the talks ended.
Ye Tian returned to the car, and Joshua and the Ethiopians also scattered and left.
Immediately afterwards, Ethiopian border guards began to conduct inspections.
These guys checked one by one one by one, very carefully.
And they also checked the passports and documents of many people in the joint exploration team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ for verification one by one.
Faced with such an investigation, everyone is very helpless, but they can only accept it.
However, Ye Tian still kept an eye on him. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Matis, pay attention, don't let Ethiopians install GPS or even time bombs under the car, be careful!"
"Understood, Steven, we will stare at the Ethiopian border guards and will not let them get involved in the car!"
Matisse responded, reminding the Israelis.
The examination lasted for nearly forty minutes before it ended.
After confirming that there were no problems, the Ethiopians were released and the tripartite joint exploratory team was allowed to enter.
The convoy started again and quickly drove away from the border between the two countries, which opened the prelude to another exploratory operation!
