"What if we sell this place, you say?
If you can sell it for a high price, you can get 10 percent each.
Yang Jing asked with a smile.
Unlike China, Western countries have long passed laws to give the right to claim compensation for the discoverers of relics, buried objects, hidden objects, etc., and have clarified the proportion of bonuses that should be accounted for in the total value.
There are laws to follow, so foreigners can dig in their own land with confidence and boldness.
In the United States, private landowners own not only the land, but also the mineral rights under the land and a series of other powers, which greatly encourages Americans to mine and explore on their own and embark on the road to prosperity.
It's like in 2007, a man in Louisiana, USA, dug an oil well in his yard, and finally let him dig it.
It is reported that this guy has spent a lot of money to hire oil drillers to help him drill oil, producing dozens of barrels of crude oil every day.
Once it can be sold publicly, it can return at least 3 times the cost.
However, when treasure is dug up outside of private land, private individuals do not have the right to monopolize it.
In this regard, the "Archaeological Resources Protection Act" of the United States has made detailed provisions, and illegal monopolies may be imprisoned.
In 2005, a man named Scott in Utah, USA, while hiking in the desert mountains, stumbled upon a treasure more than 150 years ago, which contained 10 boxes of gold bricks, worth at least tens of millions of dollars.
Unable to reach a proper "discovery bounty" agreement with the U.S. government, Scott finally chose to bury the treasure in its place, and the government was helpless.
Yang Jing: The underground cave they have discovered now, according to the relevant laws of the United States, they have the right to own the things in it.
That's why Yang Jing can call the shots and sell here.
"Sell here?"
Chris paused for a moment, "Boss, although according to the relevant laws, the treasures found on private land can be attributed to the landowner, but the things here are really not too valuable."
If these things were made of pure gold, they would definitely sell for an unimaginably high price, but how could this kind of stone, which was only wrapped in a thin layer of gold, sell for a high price?
” George Bruce's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, but he didn't speak.
Yang Jing sent a change in George Bruce's expression, and pointed at him, "George, you seem to have figured out the key inside, then you can explain it to the three of them." ” George nodded, "Guys, you all know that my mother is now at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in the humanities and social sciences in the United States, so I have known a lot about this since I was a child. ” Chris and the others all nodded, they were all closest comrades-in-arms and friends, and they naturally knew the situation in George's family very well.
"The boss also gave us an analysis just now, and the boss analyzed it correctly, this must be a very important sacrificial temple for the Indians.
And as the leader said just now, it is very likely that this sacrificial temple was built with the assistance of the Costanos by a group of Mexican Indians who joined the Costanos.
In case you don't know, the Costanos, who actually occupy this part of the Bay Area, used to be relatively poor among the Indians. ” "Poor?
Aren't Native Americans usually supposed to be quite wealthy?
Why are the Costanos who occupy this part of the Bay Area poor?
In the past, there was an abundance of gold.
Clark asked, puzzled.
George Bruce nodded very affirmatively and said, "I can confirm this, according to relevant research, the Costano people hundreds of years ago were indeed poor.
The sea and streams are their main sources of food, including mussels, salmon, marine mammals, seagrass, etc.; They also hunted rabbits and collected acorns and plant seeds.
The dwellings were made of wooden posts covered with reeds or firewood; Men are fruitful, and women wear aprons.
However, in the eighteenth century, the culture of the Costano people was completely changed by the establishment of the Order, and most of the customs of the Costanos were destroyed due to the mixing with members of foreign Indian tribes, but it also made the Costanos gradually rich, especially after the discovery of gold in the San Francisco area, as the original inhabitants of the area, the Costanos had a huge wealth.
Although the recognizable Costanos are almost impossible to find, this does not mean that the Indians with Costano blood will forget their ancestors.
As you all know, the Indians took tradition very seriously. ” Clark's eyes lit up, "George, you mean that if we were to break the news here to the Indians, they would pay a high price for the boss's house." ” George smiled and nodded, "Although I am not sure about this matter yet, I firmly believe that as long as the news of this sacrificial temple is revealed, there will definitely be people, especially Indians, who will come to visit our boss." ” Yang Jing smiled and gave George a thumbs up, obviously agreeing with his analysis, "George said very well, if we reveal the situation here, there will inevitably be Indians coming to the door, as for how much they can pay to buy this place, it depends on the status of this temple in their hearts." ” After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "Anyway, I don't dare to live in the villa above my head, there is such a big hole below, don't expect me to live here."
Since this house is not lived, it is better to take this opportunity to sell it for a high price. ” Several people burst out laughing.
John Bruno said, "Shall we clean up this place?"
Lighting fixtures, for example?
” "It's simple, just pull down a line from the villa above, and connect a few high-power electric lights, and the lighting here will be fine."
"Then I'll go up and take these things down now!"
John Bruno doesn't look like he usually likes to talk, but this guy is really an out-and-out man of action.
A few people waited below for a short time, and John Bruno walked down from the passage with a few lamps and a waterproof wire, and several people worked together to quickly connect a few lights.
When the gate was closed, the originally dim underground space immediately lit up.
With the help of abundant light, Yang Jing realized that this underground space, or the sacrificial temple of the Indians, was really not simple.
First of all, the area and height of this underground space are very large, Yang Jing estimated that this underground space at a depth of more than 30 meters underground is about the same size as his courtyard, which is about 1,000 square meters, and the height has reached nearly 10 meters.
This huge cave was not excavated by man, but formed naturally, and it is hard to wonder how the Indians hundreds of years ago could have discovered such a hidden cave.
However, when Yang Jing saw the underwater tunnel, he wondered how the Indians discovered this underground cave and transformed it into a huge sacrificial temple.

With the help of the light, Yang Jing could clearly see what the underwater tunnel connecting to the Pacific Ocean looked like.
It turned out that there was a rather large hole underwater, and according to Yang Jing's understanding, more than 600 years ago, the water level of the Pacific Ocean was much lower than now, and if it caught the low tide, this hole should be able to be exposed, so that the Indians could take a small boat to enter here directly from this hole.
It was only later that as the water level of the Pacific Ocean continued to rise, the hole was gradually submerged, and even at low tide it could not be revealed, so the Indians here dug an upward passage.
It is likely that the passage was collapsed during the earthquake of 1906, and it is possible that the Indian priests or tribal leaders here died in the earthquake, so the place has been hidden until now.
If it weren't for the sudden earthquake that shook the swimming pool out of a large hole today, it is not certain when this centuries-old temple of Indian sacrifice would have been discovered.
From the entrance of the cave to the pyramid of more than 20 meters of distance, about 40 stone statues covered with a layer of gold stand on both sides, these stone statues are very in line with the carving style of the Indians hundreds of years ago, all of them are strangely shaped, anyway, Yang Jing can't recognize what these stone statues are carved.
Maybe it's a god worshipped by the Indians, or a dead chieftain in the tribe.
These stone statues wrapped in a layer of gold, even after soaking in the sea water for hundreds of years, are still golden - I have to admit that gold, an inert metal, is really very good.
The entire underground cavern is actually very clean, except for the pyramids, the sun ornaments made of pure gold, these stone statues, and dozens of totem poles, nothing else can be found.
This made Chris, who was still holding on to the fact that he could find some treasure, a little disappointed for the others.
Yang Jing took out his mobile phone and shouted to them: "Don't look for it, this is a sacrificial temple, not the tomb of an Indian tribal chief, it is impossible to place gold and silver treasures."
These things here are the most precious things to the native Indians, and the gold and silver treasures are not as precious as these things in the minds of the Indians.
You all let me, I'll take a few pictures, and I can do publicity when I go back. ” Several people ran behind Yang Jing with a smile, and Yang Jing raised his mobile phone to take pictures of the things here one by one, especially for the pyramid and the sun ornament made of pure gold, and took several photos in many directions.
"By the way, this sun ornament is a totem of worship by the Indians, so it is made of pure gold, if you take it out and sell it, it should be worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars, do you want to take it out and sell it?"
Yang Jing put away his mobile phone and asked Chris with a smile.
Chris shook his head, "Boss, forget it, if this worship totem is missing here, the price will be much lower." ” Clark said, "Chief, after a while you should take us to find the pirate treasure and the Tsar's treasure, we prefer to follow you to find the real treasure than here." ” Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, since you don't want this thing, then stay here."
As for the search for the treasure, I will definitely take you with me when the time comes. ” "Boom!"
Several people were excited to give each other high-fives.
Yang Jing and the others quickly returned to the ground, and the big hole was still dealt with.
It's not safe to be exposed to broad daylight like this.
Subsequently, Yang Jing called Lin Dan and Zhao Meng over, and told them about the underground cave below, and the two of them went down to take a look in surprise, and when they came back, they couldn't believe it.
"Yang Zi, this sacrificial temple is very unusual, if you want to sell here, as long as you hype it, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell it at a high price.
The Native Indians of the Bay Area are quite wealthy, and as long as they can recognize the temple, they will definitely not be stingy with a lot of money to buy it.
"Zhao Meng is very experienced in this area, and he also knows the Indians in the Bay Area very well.
After a pause, Zhao Meng pointed at Lin Dan and said, "Let Lin Zi be responsible for this matter, he still has more experience in such things as this operation!"
