Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Big man, please be quiet. Aisha, who was sitting next to Tom, complained.

And George continued to explain: The temple in Turkey is not fake. After all, there are several Athena temples. It can only be said that the temple we found is exactly what we imagined. The first Temple of Artemis built by humans.

Crawford and I haven't had time to test it with instruments, but we can tell that the temple was built at least eight thousand years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago.

Tens of thousands of years... my God. Hans said with emotion.

Located in Turkey, the Temple of Artemis in the center of Selcuk was built on July 21, 356 BC, exactly 2363 years ago.

There are a total of 126 stone pillars, each 18 meters high, and the entire temple is 125 meters long and 50 meters wide, which can be listed as one of the miracles of the ancient world on this scale.

It is said that people at that time spent a full 120 years building that temple.

Thinking of Hans here, he turned his head and looked to the right.

Just by observing with the naked eye, it can be seen that the temple next to them is larger than the one in Turkey.

With the level of science and technology more than 2,000 years ago, it would take 120 years to build a temple that is one of the miracles of the world. How did humans build this temple 10,000 years ago?

How many years did it take to build?

Hans' scalp was numb, and he felt that there were too many mysteries in human history, and some things couldn't be explained at all.

After George finished speaking, Crawford took the initiative to take over the conversation and said:

There are no statues of gods inside the temple, but the stone pillars are engraved with symbols such as antlers, moons, bows and arrows, which is enough to indicate the identity of the god enshrined here, Artemis, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Professor Sears will be very happy if you bring this information back home! Aisha echoed.

En. Everyone nodded.

The professor Sears mentioned by the five students was none other than Quell Sears, a professor of history at Oxford University and a leading archaeologist.

In fact, seven years ago, Sears led the previous students to discover the ruins of the city, Göbekli, which was also built ten thousand years ago.

And in the ruins, Lilith, the living corpse pierced by the spear of fear, and Ares, the god of war who became a giant skeleton, were found, and a white giant who was hostile to humans was also encountered.

After that, Sears and the students at that time were all modified by Umbrella, and the Göbekli Ruins were also transformed into Umbrella's research center.

However, even if the memory is modified, Sears is still the leading professor, and the students have successfully graduated and entered the society, forgetting the thrilling past.

The five George and Crawford studied at Oxford University in 2004 and were completely unaware of the existence of Göbekli.

After enrolling, the same interests made the five of them become close friends, and from the moment of enrolling, they set finding the first Temple of Artemis as their goal.

With the teaching and guidance of Sears, the search of unofficial history, myths and other materials without sleep and food, and the funds provided by the wealthy Crawford, after three years of unremitting efforts, they really found the secret hidden in the deep forest. temple.

Okay. At this moment, George stood up: Everyone has worked hard these days, let's rest for two hours first, and it won't be too late to continue our research after recovering our energy.

(looks at Tom) Trouble about the vigilance, Tom.

No problem! Tom still patted his chest and replied loudly.

The other three also had no opinion.

After four days of trekking in the woods with no roads, they needed a good rest, to be honest.

next.

Tom, who was still very energetic, took care of the camp, and the other four used the filtered lake water to wash up briefly, and then went to the tent to take a rest.

The scorching sun continued to slant to the west, the sun gradually became less dazzling, and the weather was no longer as hot as in the morning.

Seeing this, Tom, who acts as a human alarm clock, wakes up his companions to get up and work by patting the tent.

The spirited George and Crawford left the tent, prepared all kinds of instruments needed, and went to the temple to continue their unfinished research.

Tom went into the tent to sleep soundly. It seemed that he wanted to sleep through the night.

Of course, when the other four were working, they would not forget to take a look at the situation of the camp to make sure that sleeping Tom would not be in danger.

Even when they came to a seemingly safe area, they did not let down their vigilance.

time flies.

The sunset in the evening reflects the surface of the lake, making this small lake in the forest the most beautiful moment of the day.

But George and the others only admired it for a moment, and then devoted themselves to the research, and took another look at the situation of the camp by the way.

When the sun had completely set and the natural light was not enough to provide a good view, the four of them left the temple to return to the camp.

They received a lot of goods today, and they felt that if they continued at this pace, they would be able to collect all the required information in two days, and then they could leave the forest and return to the city to enjoy the convenience brought by modern civilization.

The next four people put away their instruments and tools and began to prepare dinner.

When the sky was completely dark and entered the night, they turned on the lighting equipment erected and re-lit the bonfire in the center of the camp.

This environment, this atmosphere, made them imagine that if they brought enough ingredients and barbecue grills, they could have a wild barbecue by the lake.

But conditions do not allow.

The fast light meal enough for six people had just been prepared, Tom also woke up naturally, walked out of the tent smelling the smell of food, and came to join the dinner team by the campfire.

The meal in many places was prepared for Tom. After all, Tom did the most physical labor, and he was also responsible for the vigilance work in the first half of the night.

After the meal, everyone sat around the bonfire and talked about the future, imagining what kind of bright moment they would have after they announced this amazing discovery.

After chatting for a long time, George and Tom agreed that he would be the one to watch after midnight, and then he was the first to wash and rest, followed by Crawford and Hans.

In the end, there were only Tom and Elsa who were still sitting by the campfire.

Aisha looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and she couldn't help but sigh with Tom: Tom, what would you do if... something unexpected happened?

Sudden situation? Tom, who was vigilant around him, was taken aback for a moment, but soon smiled, and made a gesture of showing his biceps:

Of course it's to protect everyone!

... Aisha had nothing to say.

At this moment, the crescent-like bright moon came to the center of the night sky, and the two found that the lake in front of them was actually emitting light!

It wasn't the moonlight reflecting off the lake, but the entire lake was emitting a faint white light.

Haha~

When the two of them saw this incredible scene, they also faintly heard laughter from the east of the camp.
