At the same time as the whispers sounded, Ye Tian's face also burst into a bright smile!
Sure enough, it was a hidden treasure map pirates, he almost missed it! No wonder August Gissler was crazy about it!
But it's a pity that this guy was still cheated!
Ye Tian sighed with emotion secretly and also yelled at the hapless Gissler!
At this moment, his eyes were extremely bright, like searchlights, staring at the line on the treasure map and he was not willing to move away for a moment, his vision was extremely hot.
This sheepskin map is very simple, even rough!
It is just on a 30/20 cm sheepskin. It outlines the outline and topography of Cocos Island and clearly indicates the direction, which is far from modern maps.
But it's no wonder that, the pirate teams of centuries ago could never have professional map surveying and mapping personnel! That's too worthy of them!
The numerous triangles on the map undoubtedly represent the mountains on the island and the dragonfly-like patterns distributed everywhere are definitely forests.
The zigzag pattern composed of several wavy lines represents the river on the island and the coastline is clearer, just like a circle of dotted lines around the island.
In addition to these, there are three or five turtles painted in several places on the map. There must be beaches and turtle habitats!
The treasure route marked on the map starts from a sandy beach in the southeast of the island, extends along the winding river to the northwest and finally points to a small hill in the middle of the island.
This should be the route of Gissler's exploration of treasures and it is also the route of countless people in later generations who were there to hunt for treasures. History has proved that this is a hopeless road!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, there is not only one route here! On this pirate treasure map, he saw hope!
The handwriting marking this treasure hunt route is very thick and heavy. It is very obvious on the map and can be seen at a glance and no one can ignore it!
What is surprising is that the red light emitted by this route is a bit shallower than other parts of the map and the gap is very small. If you do not pay attention to observation, it is almost impossible to find.
After careful examination and comparison, Ye Tian discovered this slight difference. This treasure route was obviously drawn afterwards and it was not drawn at the same time as the rest of the map!
Based on the faint color difference of the red light and the increasingly proficient mastery and use of abilities, Ye Tian quickly saw the difference between the two handwritings.
The handwriting of the treasure route is about three years later than the handwriting of other parts of the map!
Three years after the treasure map was released, someone disguised the map to cover up the original treasure route. There is no doubt about that!
And Ye Tian's next discovery quickly proved his judgment.
At the beginning of the treasure route, under that heavy handwriting, he found another trace that was covered up, it was hard to find! It should also be the same handwriting!
Some parts of the two handwritings overlap and some are staggered!
Although the handwriting was erased, the damage caused by the feather nib across the sheepskin to the sheepskin collagen fiber bundles could not be hidden in Ye Tian's eyes and it was clearly presented.
Obviously, the person who disguised this treasure map used special means to erase the original treasure route and forged a new one on the basis of the original route.
The first half of the two treasure routes basically overlap, but in the middle, they are completely different!
The original route leads to the northeast coast. There is no pattern of sea turtles there. It is probably a cliff facing the sea. If the judgment is accurate, it is undoubtedly an ideal treasure place!
Later, the forged line extended to the northwest, through the jungle to the mountains in the middle of the island, which is also reasonable!
It's a little bit of a difference, a thousand miles away!
Under the guidance of such a forged route, how could Gissler find the pirate treasure?
The 33 Spanish gold coins he harvested must have been found in the first half that coincidence with the two treasure routes.
When the two routes parted ways, Gissler must not been found anything. He went further and further on the wrong road, never looking back and wasted 17 years of good time!
This disguise is too clever! It's impossible to guard against!
The first half gives people great hope and makes them believe that they are on the right path. The treasure seems to be right in front of them and huge wealth is at your fingertips!
The middle section suddenly changed the route, strangling all hope, so they can only dream about making a fortune! But the real pirate treasure can never be touched.
The 33 gold coins found by Gissler might be a suspicious array!
Someone must been took advantage of these 33 gold coins to bring all treasure hunters into a ditch.
The one who designed this perfect trap is undoubtedly the guy who forged the route of the treasure. He is definitely a sinister and cunning bastard!
If he hadn't the perspective ability and carefully examined it, Ye Tian wouldn't have discovered this flaw!
If he take this treasure map to Cocos Island to hunt for treasure, he would almost be like Gissler, going on the wrong road without looking back, wasting his life in vain!
But now it is completely different!
Under the powerful perspective, the secret of this pirate treasure map has been clearly placed in front of him and it has become Ye Tian's exclusive secret.
A pirate treasure full alluring and crazy enough to seem to be right in front of him, within reach!
Suppressing the excitement, Ye Tian continued to look through the treasure map in front of him.
Following the original treasure route that had been wiped out the ink and barely visible, Ye Tian's gaze kept exploring forward, extending to the end of the route, the seaside northeast of Cocos Island.
So far, Ye Tian knew the secret of this treasure map!
Next, he need to use modern technology to determine the location of the treasure and then find a way to pick up the treasure and make a fortune!
End of perspective!
Ye Tian retracted his gaze, put the treasure map on the table and turned on the computer.
The map was opened and the specific situation of Cocos Island immediately appeared in front of him. The hydrogeological data of the seaside where the treasure was located was quickly found and the introduction was very detailed!
As predicted!
The location of the treasure is a cliff with a height of more than forty meters, which is extremely steep, almost straight up and down, without any flaws!
The hydrological conditions are also very complicated. The cliff's water depth is at least 50 meters and there are reefs and unpredictable whirlpools, which is extremely dangerous!
Although Cocos Island is a diving resort, few people dare to set foot in that sea!
Even the Costa Rica officials don't know much about that sea area, divers are even more terrified! Stay away!
No wonder this pirate treasure has never been discovered! Treasure hunting here is too dangerous.
Ye Tian sighed with emotion secretly, slightly disappointed.
According to the instructions on the map and the hydrogeological conditions there, the entrance to this treasure is on the cliffs, or even underwater! Extremely difficult to enter!
In addition to these, Ye Tian also learned some other things.
In order to protect the local ecological environment, all treasure hunting activities on Cocos Island are strictly prohibited and no one can stay on the island for more than 12 days.
This completely blocked the possibility of private treasure hunting. If he want to find pirate treasures on this small island, there is only one way to go.
He must get permission from the Costa Rican government to cooperate with them to explore treasures and share the proceeds. Moreover, the big part are theirs and he can only get a small part of the benefits.
In addition, there is no second way to choose!
In this way, it is extremely difficult to obtain permission to hunt for treasure, almost impossible!
In the past 25 years, only one person has been qualified for treasure hunting on Cocos Island. It is the treasure hunter Shaun Whitehead from the United Kingdom and the 15 treasure hunting team he led!
The treasure hunt of Whitehead lasted for 10 days and includes extensive archaeological, geological and ecological research.
But it is a pity that this guy got nothing and can only leave disappointedly. He wasted a lot of money and helped Costa Rica to do a promotion!
Not wanting to cooperate with the Costa Rican government, intending to dig out the treasure without they knowing and transport it away is also almost impossible.
First of all, treasure hunting there is not something that can be done in one or two days. If there is no very accurate map, then a lot of time must be spent on exploration, drilling and so on.
There are many golden icons in the Lima Treasure. Even if the treasure is picked up, it can only be transported away by ship. It is hard not to attract the attention of Costa Rica officials.
Besides, even if Costa Rica is small, it is still a country and its influence cannot be ignored!
As long as the relevant treasures appear on the international market, they will definitely make claims and even file complaints, which is definitely a huge trouble.
In addition, there is another headache!
Cocos Island is now in the rainy season and the sea conditions are extremely poor, making it difficult for ships to approach.
If the treasure entrance is below the surface of the sea, it will be even more troublesome. Diving is basically impossible and it is too dangerous! He can only wait for the rainy season in November to pass and the weather gradually improves.
Go there to dig for pirate treasures and he must get a deep dive certificate! This can be an extra guarantee and it will not be worthwhile to die in the sea in an unexpected situation!
After understanding this, Ye Tian couldn't help but grow up.
It seems that there is no way to go to Cocos Island to hunt for treasures in the short term. At least it will have to wait until spring next year. The best time is June to July.
The most important thing before this is to obtain the treasure hunting permission from the Costa Rican government. This is an almost impossible task!
If he can't get permission, he can only hold the treasure map and sigh!
Next, Ye Tian continued to browse the situation of Cocos Island, pondering how to land on the island and taking this temptation pirate treasure as his own!
Unconsciously, one hour passed.
There was the sound of the door opening downstairs and then Betty's voice came over.
"Honey, are you at home? I'm back!"
The study door is open and the voice is very clear.
"I'm in the study, come down here!"
Ye Tian replied, closed his notebook and walked out of the study.
Before he reached the top of the stairs, Betty was already up.
When they met and hugged and kissed, the two immediately walked into the master bedroom.
"My dear, let's change our clothes. We are going to the Plaza Hotel later. I plan to have a celebration party there. Jason and Sophie, as well as David and Matisse, will all come over!
In addition to these guys, their family members may also be there to participate in this party together. This is the first time we meet. In order to show respect, we need to dress more formal!"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Okay! I see, you will help me pick a dress later!"
Betty smiled and nodded, then she was about to take off her clothes and go to the bathroom to wash.
As soon as she unbuttoned two buttons, she suddenly stopped and said:
"My dear, I tell you something. My college tutor called me today. She wants to meet you and look at that general Sherman's march notebook. What do you think?"
"Your college tutor? She must teach sociology. Why did she care about Sherman's march notebook? It doesn't seem to be next to she area!"
"Yes, Melissa is a professor of sociology, but her husband is an expert in American history and a professor at Columbia University. Is her husband who want to read this notebook and didn't know how to contact you through me!"
"Hehehe, let me think about it! You, a tutor, must know Chinese culture and know that the power of pillow wind is huge! Nothing to lose!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his eyes flashed with joy at the same time.
American History Expert from Colombian University! Interesting!
