Aika was deeply involved in the archaeological excavation work.
The progress of the discovery of the entire project was absolutely transparent, especially the details of some precious cultural relics.
Aika recalled something and made a surprising discovery.
Many of the details were exactly the same as the details in the 'Egyptian Chronicles'!
This made Aika's face a bit solemn—it was a terrifying thing for an unrelated person to know the details of an ancient civilization!
"Maybe it's all a coincidence..."
The villagers had dug up the current excavation sites by chance after finding the weathered sacrificial pool.
There was no possibility of artificial discovery at all.
That was especially so for their Schubert team, which could be said to be the top archaeological team in the world.
They all agreed, including their professor, it was all due to the course of nature that they had been able to discover it.
Even the archaeologists said so. How could a novel author know this in advance?
Aika still found it unfathomable. The author of 'Egyptian Chronicles' really knew this ancient civilization very well.
It was all hypothetical.
Aika immediately took out her cell phone and started to read the chapters of the 'Egyptian Chronicles'.
As she became more and more engrossed in it, her expression became more and more subtle. That was especially so when she saw Ian's description of the pyramid. Be it its size or style, the description of all aspects was very detailed.
Then, she compared it with the excavated cultural relics.
It could be said that they were almost the same!
"This... This... This..."
Aika was dumbfounded.
"This author, could he be a tomb raider?
"How could he possess such detailed data!?
"Could it be that he had excavated this place before? Otherwise, how could the size be exactly the same as what we measured!?"
At present, they had only revealed to the public a few photos. They would not share any specific data.
Some of them did not even measure themselves. Yet, the size and year were clearly marked in the novel.
"I don't believe it! How could there be such a ridiculous thing!"
Aika could not sit still anymore!
Her professor had already gone to rest, so she would personally carry out the fitting of the relics that had not been measured. She did not believe that Ian's measures were exactly the same as the real thing!
In the temporary archaeological office...
Although it was called an office, it was actually a temporary tent.
Schubert used all the moving equipment on the excavation. Only when these relics were unearthed as soon as possible would they not be snatched by tomb raiders.
It was just that life was more difficult.
Sand occasionally blew through the tents' bottom, covering the furniture with a layer of yellow.
Schubert's bed was placed there.
A camp bed, a coat hanger, and a table—this was all the furniture in the tent.
This was also very in line with Professor Schubert's style—simple and minimalistic.
The exhausted professor went back to the tent and fell asleep immediately.
However, after sleeping for less than a few hours, he was awakened by a flurry of knocks on the door.
"Who is it?"
He rubbed his temples, and his exhausted spirit recovered quite a bit.
However, he was still a little groggy.
"Professor, it's me! Aika! I have important findings to discuss with you!"
Aika's anxious voice sounded at the tent entrance—one could tell that her voice was filled with doubt, surprise, and confusion...
When he heard that his beloved student had made an important discovery, Schubert's mind instantly became alert. He hurriedly stood up and opened the door.
"What important discovery? Did you make progress with the tower-shaped building, or did you excavate a precious cultural relic that can confirm the era?"
Although they could estimate the approximate time of the ancient civilization through carbon-14, they couldn't obtain accurate data. They also couldn't excavate any artifact that could prove the specific era of the ancient civilization.
Schubert and the other experts were quite troubled by this matter. This was because they couldn't determine the specific time in history of this treasure.
They could not determine to which emperor it belonged.
Without this specialized data, the ruins' mystery was like layers and layers of fog, making it impossible to see through it.
The matter of the ancient civilization ruins had already caused a huge wave and sensation in the world after fermenting.
The pressure that Schubert was under at this moment was also very huge.
Countless gazes in the world were watching this place.
He had to understand the details of this place in the shortest time possible and give the world an explanation.
Just when Schubert and countless experts were having a headache… Aika looked at Schubert with a strange expression.
"Professor..."
Aika hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still said what she was thinking.
"When you were resting, I did a carbon-14 test on a lot of unexplored relics. The result is exactly the same as the data in a book!
"I have a feeling that someone has already entered this ancient tomb..."
Schubert's expression changed when he heard this, and his eyes were full of doubt.
"Someone has already entered? How is that possible!? Unless the person is a tomb raider.
"And the book you mentioned, what's with that?"
Schubert's expression was extremely solemn now.
The ancient civilization ruins they were excavating now might not only be related to Egypt. It might even be a civilization that had left important historical heritages in the world.
If something went wrong, he would be the first to bear the responsibility!
Aika didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, she asked her professor, "Professor, can you believe that there's someone who knows the situation of the ancient ruins better than us?"
Schubert frowned and shook his head.
The depth of the buried pyramid and the difficulty of the assignment here alone made it impossible to do so.
It was impossible to excavate this pyramid without the aid of a large-scale organization.
Speaking of professionalism, Schubert was confident that no one in the world knew more about ancient ruins than him. It was even more impossible for someone to know more than him.
"Professor, take a look."
Aika had already expected this result and handed over the tablet that she had prepared earlier.
"Egyptian Chronicles? Novel?"
Schubert looked at Aika angrily.
Although he knew that this student of his liked to read novels, they were currently discussing the ruins of an ancient civilization. They were not discussing the contents of the novel.
"Professor, please read this chapter carefully. Don't miss a single word!"
"What the hell!?"
Schubert was a little confused by his proud student, but he still gave her face and started to read seriously.
As he read more and more content, the expression on his face began to change.
"This, this, this...
"Where did this person steal this data from!? We are strictly keeping this data confidential. Why would anyone know about it!?"
After Schubert finished reading the chapter, he couldn't sit still.
This data leak was a serious crime!A
