Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Are you saying that my live broadcast this time is very popular? Liang En asked with some confusion, because in his impression, although the threshold for live broadcasting is very low, it can be done with a better quality mobile phone, but it must be done well. The difficulty is not small either.

If you want to get more viewers during a live broadcast, you either have to have a skill, have outstanding looks, or simply have both. In short, you need to let everyone see what they want to see.

Of course, it is also important to master some skills in communicating with people. After all, there are people on the other side of the screen. Making people want to watch you or even pay for you naturally requires some effort in interaction.

And Liang En's live broadcast this time can definitely be regarded as a negative example in the live broadcast industry, because he basically did not have any interaction with the audience behind the camera. What he said to the audience in front of the screen during these ten days of live broadcast It adds up to less than 20 sentences.

It's not that he doesn't want to communicate, it's that he is really busy with work during this period and can't find time to communicate.

At least I think it's pretty good. The average number of viewers is 600,000, and at the peak it can reach more than one million. The editor nodded and said, Mainly, the live broadcast of archaeological excavations is still very arousing. Curious.”

Especially when you discovered a piece of brass suspected to be orichalcum and concluded that this place is likely to be the prototype of Plato's Atlantis, the audience was particularly large, because this is something that everyone is very interested in.

More importantly, your identity as a well-known writer and your current identity as an archaeologist and historian create a strange contrast, which makes everyone want to know more about you.

You are right. This is indeed one reason, but I think there is another reason because you helped a lot during this live broadcast. Liang En smiled and looked at his responsible person the editor said.

Because Liang En knew that his social media accounts during this period were all managed by this editor, and it was thanks to his help that this kind of actually boring content could attract so many viewers.

So in the next period of time, Liang En simply brought the newly acquired books to the excavation site, and then took advantage of the break from the excavation work to sign these books.

Although this may cause the book to be stained by mud, the feedback shows that readers not only don't mind it, but seem to like it more.

Because a series of valuable things have been excavated, the Greek side also agreed to Liang En's application and allowed foreign archaeological teams to enter the site for archaeological excavations in addition to domestic archaeological excavation personnel.

So in the next week, many valuable things were discovered, such as a large number of mural relics being cleared from the residences near the Triangular Square.

However, considering the fragility of these murals, the archaeological team over there had to slow down their actions, so that more manpower could be put into the metal smelting plant that Liang En and the others discovered.

As manpower became more abundant, the excavation progress became faster, and some very key things were found in the metal finishing workshop behind the smelter.

In order to easily locate the target, Liang En and the others used metal detectors to detect and dig. Although most of the time they dug out just some scrap metal or minerals, sometimes they could also find some very valuable things. .

This is an ancient Egyptian-style amulet. After cleaning the dirt on a piece of metal, Liang En found that what appeared in his hand was a semi-finished amulet made of precious metal.

Judging from the position of this amulet, it seems that it fell into a corner during the earthquake, and was ignored by the craftsmen who fled for their lives in a hurry, and has been kept until today.

After completing the cleaning work, Liang En was surprised to find that there was a line of ancient Egyptian text on the back of this gold amulet, which read: Witness our friendship with gold, silver and orichalcum.

Considering the close exchanges between the Cretan civilization and ancient Egypt at that time, it is not surprising that this place has jewelry made for the ancient Egyptians.

But compared to other things, the most valuable thing about this amulet is that the text behind it directly indicates that the raw material of this thing is orichalcum.

Unlike Linear A, Ancient Egyptian is now a recognized translated language, so after excluding the gold and silver on this amulet, it can be confirmed that the copper alloy on it is the legendary orichalcum.

A great discovery, it means that legends are not necessarily just legends. said the scholar in charge of the study of early ancient Greek civilization at the National Museum of Greece who is now in charge of work here.

If combined with other cultural relics, I think we can boldly guess that this is indeed the prototype of the legendary Atlantis in the real world.

The other cultural relics mentioned here are some black soil found in the smelting site. At first, everyone thought that the soil was nothing special, but Liang En pointed out that the soil in the jars was completely different from the surrounding soil.

So the black soil was taken for testing, and through the observation of organic matter in the soil and the testing of the overall composition, we can confirm that the soil comes from the Black Sea coast of Ukraine and contains a large proportion of zinc.

In other words, the ancients probably accidentally discovered that the soil from the Black Sea coast could be mixed with copper ore to make shiny brass, so they consciously made this copper alloy and named it orichalcum.

However, the content of metallic zinc in the soil was uncertain, resulting in most smelting failures, which further led people to associate this copper alloy with gods and various supernatural phenomena. .

So the legendary magical orichalcum is this kind of thing, which is really - a bit surprising. Harry seemed a little uninterested. For a occult enthusiast, this conclusion was really a bit of a shock. people.

But we also know that ancient legends are not purely fabricated. At least most of the legends seem to be based on some facts. Liang En turned his head and looked at Professor Harry and said.

So this means that it is not completely impossible for us to find things in legends. Maybe one day we will be able to discover the content that truly belongs to myths.

Of course, what Liang En didn't say was that although there were no gods in this world, the human thoughts gathered by such legends could bring him powers that were like gods.

At least based on the experience of opening so many cards, those cards related to mythology are actually valuable because they can allow Liang En to obtain some magical abilities.

Professor Harry naturally didn't know this, but he was inspired by Liang En's affirmative tone, and his spirit naturally quickly cheered up, and he began to explain about Atlantis to his students. legend.

Compared to Professor Harry's somewhat awkward mentality, the others on the field were purely happy because they had now discovered a very important piece of history.
