In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
At this time, there was a deep pit about 1.56 meters wide and about 4 meters deep on the ground in the center of the chapel.
What was excavated from this deep pit, except for the floor, other stones and bricks have been transported out of the church and piled in the open space on the side of the church.
The foundation of this chapel was dug through, but nothing was found.
However, excavation continues.
Everyone knows that the hole leading deep underground will soon appear.
The two exploration team members who were digging at the bottom of the pit were waving their engineering shovels and digging hard.
Both guys were wearing masks and had safety ropes tied around their waists, just in case.
Everyone on the ground is also under strict protection.
Next to the hole, there are two powerful ventilation fans, ready to be hoisted to the bottom of the pit at any time to replace the dirty air in the underground space.
The crack located deep underground has been sealed for more than two hundred years.
If there is no other outlet, the air inside must be dirty and even poisonous, so care must be taken.
As the excavation continued, everyone became more and more excited and full of anticipation.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.
"Sean, we dug up a wall made of granite. It should be a man-made building."
"This wall looks quite old. It seems to have some strange patterns carved on it. They are some animal portraits, but they are plausible."
Hearing this, a smile immediately flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
Of course he knew the existence of the wall and those strange patterns at the bottom of the pit. The depth of more than four meters was just within his perspective range.
When he looked through the situation before, he saw these things and made corresponding judgments.
But these cannot be made public and can only be enjoyed privately.
At this time, he also had to pretend to be surprised when he heard about it for the first time.
Others at the scene had just learned about this new discovery at the bottom of the pit.
Before the words could even be finished, there was an exclamation of exclamation on the scene.
"Ah! An ancient man-made wall with some strange animal patterns carved on it. Did I hear that right?"
"Is this crack hidden deep underground really related to North American Indians?"
"If that's the case, then this discovery is amazing!"
While exclaiming, everyone turned to look at Xiao Ran.
Before the excavation operation started, Xiao Ran reluctantly revealed some information on the treasure map.
He told everyone present that this colonial treasure was most likely related to North American Indians.
In this treasure, there may be a representative Indian antique artifact.
Professor Baker also affirmed this statement.
When the treasure map was in his hands, he made the same discovery, but it was not made public.
But no one expected the artificial wall and stone carvings to appear at the bottom of the pit.
Xiao Ran looked at everyone present, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, you don't have to look at me. I didn't expect this to happen. This is an unexpected discovery."
"From this point of view, is it possible that the first people to discover this underground crack were the Indian tribes who once lived here?"
"Later the British colonists came here, killed all the Indians here, and then took the secret as their own"
After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
After the British colonists landed in North America, it is well known what they did on this land!
Of course, the Americans who came later were not good, or even worse.
These Anglo-Saxons have almost wiped out all the North American Indians!
"Yes, Sean, this possibility exists, and the possibility is very high."
"The Indians who originally lived here were a branch of the Algonquin people, people from Massachusetts."
"At the hands of the British troops, the Massachusetts people were quickly killed or driven away and disappeared from Boston."
Professor Baker continued to explain.
At this time, he was so excited that he almost flew up.
However, his words are questionable.
Were all the Massachusetts people killed by the ancestors of the Americans, or by the British colonial army? In fact, it is a confusing account.
From the perspective of the Americans, they are of course more willing to put this account on the British colonial army to alleviate their own sins!
Xiao Ran nodded, then came to the edge of the pit and looked at the bottom of the pit.
The next moment, he saw the stone wall on one side of the pit.
The stone wall was quite neatly built, straight up and down. It looked like an artificial construction rather than a natural formation.
It's a pity that there is a lot of floating soil on the stone wall, and the patterns carved on it cannot be seen clearly for a while.
Xiao Ran glanced at the situation at the bottom of the pit, and then said to the exploration team members who were digging:
"Guys, please clean up the loose soil on that wall and take pictures of the patterns carved on the wall."
"Then we'll do some research to see if this wall and those patterns are from the British or the Indians."
Before he finished speaking, the two guys at the bottom of the pit nodded and said:
"No problem, Sean, leave it to us!"
As they spoke, they took action.
In just a moment, Xiao Ran had received a series of photos from the bottom of the pit.
Then, he enlarged the pictures on his iPad and began to look at them one by one.
Professor Baker and Professor Adrian immediately came together and looked at the high-definition photos together.
Professor Samuel and the others also wanted to come over to check, but were stopped by another Yale professor.
Helpless, they could only stand a few meters away, stretching their necks and looking this way. There was nothing they could do in a hurry.
The first thing that appeared in front of Xiao Ran and the others was a coyote with an eagle's beak and a very weird shape.
Then there is a monster with a human body and a muskrat head, full of weird colors.
The rest of the patterns are also bizarre and exaggerated animal portraits.
These strange animals are often a combination of two or three real-life animals.
For example, they have the head of a hawk and the body of a snake, the head of a bear and the body of an ox, etc. They are all very weird.
Looking at these strange patterns, Xiao Ran and the others couldn't help being stunned, their eyes full of surprise.
The tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room were also confused.
"I'll go! What is this? It looks a little scary!"
"Who says otherwise! These patterns look like things from tombs, and they are somewhat similar to things in Egyptian tomb culture."
Everyone started talking about it one after another, and everyone was very interested.
Listening to these discussions, Xiao Ran just smiled softly and did not give any response.
At this time, Zangzhuo is a wise choice.
At this moment, Professor Adrian suddenly said in surprise:
"Yes, this is indeed a pattern left by North American Indians, not the handiwork of the British."
"Look at the image of this eagle-billed coyote. It should be the god in the mythology of the Achomavi people, but there is a slight difference."
"The pattern of this muskrat's body is the first human being in the Algonquin mythology. In the Algonquin mythology, the great god Michabo combined with the muskrat to give birth to human beings."
"It can be determined from these patterns that the people who left these patterns are the Massachusetts people. The Achomavi people and the Massachusetts people have always been closely related and maintained the tradition of intermarriage."
"In the territory of the Massachusetts people, various traces left by the Achomavi people can often be found. This is normal..."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became more excited.
"This crack, located deep underground, seems to not only hide some secrets or treasures, but may also hide some secrets about the people of Massachusetts."
"If that's the case, that would be great. We might get more and bigger surprises."
Professor Baker said excitedly.
Like him, the other professors from Yale University were all excited.
The exploration team members from the Yale School of History cheered directly.
Professor Samuel and others who were also present, as well as several professors from MIT and Tufts University, had envious and jealous eyes that were so red that they were about to bleed!
Before the cheers died down, Professor Julian couldn't wait to continue:
"Your inference is correct, Adrian and Baker. This should be a historical site of the Massachusetts people, but it was occupied and used by the British."
"In the mythology of North American Indians, humans and all things with gods can not only coexist, but can also transform and interchange with each other. This is the case for the Massachusetts people."
"I have conducted relatively in-depth research on the Massachusetts, Achomavi, and Algonquin peoples. If you let me participate in the exploration, I will definitely be able to help you a lot."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
Professor Baker and the others all turned to look at Julian and said angrily:
"Julian, just stay aside! Whether we allow you to participate or not, we will decide based on the situation."
"For now, this astonishing discovery belongs to us at Yale, and you guys at Harvard can't take advantage of it."
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
Professor Julian and the others shook their heads helplessly and complained a few words.
"Beck, Adrian, why didn't we notice before that you are so stingy and so ungraceful!"
Following these words, there was another burst of laughter.
After a few jokes, everyone returned to the topic.
Xiao Ran handed the iPad to Professor Baker and said with a smile:
"Professor Baker, go study these ancient patterns and hope to find something."
"I don't understand or have much interest in these Massachusetts things."
"In comparison, I am more concerned about the secrets or treasures hidden in this underground crack."
"Okay, Sean."
Professor Baker nodded in response and took the iPad casually.
He didn't really believe Xiao Ran's words.
Not only him, but also everyone else at the scene.
Xiao Ran said that he didn't understand the patterns left by the North American Indians, but everyone didn't really believe him.
Many people at the scene believed that this was just a self-effacing statement on his part and he did not want to be in the limelight.
Even the tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room, most of them also have this idea.
The reason why everyone thinks this way is actually very simple.
Xiao Ran has created too many miracles. If anything magical happens to him, everyone will take it for granted!
After taking over the iPad, Professor Baker and the others immediately began to study those ancient and mysterious patterns, and their eyes shone with excitement.
Professor Samuel and the others, who were standing at the back, could only stand on tiptoes and look at this side with envy.
Xiao Ran came to the entrance of the pit again, looked at the situation at the bottom of the pit, and then said to the two exploration team members at the bottom of the pit:
"Guys, keep digging, we should be almost at the bottom of the pit, and the answer will be revealed soon."
"When digging to a depth of nearly six meters, you must be careful. It seems that there are no traps here, but just in case."
"Once you dig out slates or bricks, stop digging immediately and wait for me to check the situation."
After the words fell, the two guys at the bottom of the pit immediately nodded and responded:
"Understood, Sean, we will be careful."
After saying that, the two guys started digging.
During the subsequent excavation process, they dug out three more stone walls.
Like the previous stone wall, these three stone walls are also made of artificial granite.
Surrounded by four stone walls, it formed a square well, covering the entrance of the cave below.
On these three walls, there are also many mysterious, ancient, and strange patterns carved on them.
The few patterns that Professor Baker and the others recognized were mostly related to Massachusetts people.
There are also some patterns related to the Achomavi people, or to the Algonquin people.
On one of the walls, there is also an English name engraved on it, Brown!
The inscription of this English name is clearer and the date is a little more recent.
Seeing this situation, everyone still doesn’t understand.
This is indeed a Massachusetts historical site that was later discovered and used by the British to hide some secret or treasure.
The British guy named Brown, obviously like many tourists today, left evidence of his visit here.
As for the stone walls surrounding it, they were obviously meant to protect the deeper cave entrance.
In this way, they together form a solid square well.
This series of new discoveries caused a commotion in the live broadcast room and on site, making the atmosphere more lively and making everyone more excited.
In particular, Professor Baker and others were so excited that they started dancing.
In the blink of an eye, nearly forty minutes passed.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, cheers came from the bottom of the pit again.
"Sean, we dug to the end. Just as you guessed, there are several granite rocks blocking the entrance."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran had already arrived at the entrance of the pit.
The rest of the people were the same, and they all gathered around, everyone was excited.
After standing at the entrance of the pit, Xiao Ran immediately looked towards the bottom of the pit.
The next moment, he saw several granite stones placed side by side at the bottom of the pit.
In the center of those granite stones, there seems to be a St. George flag protruding upward.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Many fans in the live broadcast room started talking in surprise.
"I'll go! There is a St. George flag at the bottom of the pit. This formation looks like a tomb!"
"Who says it's not the case! This scene looks a bit scary!"
