The ten-meter-wide passage is equivalent to two lanes, and there is a stone oil lamp every five meters on both sides.
The oil lamp is also very simple.
It is a slender rectangular stone, half a person's height and about a palm's length and width.
The top is a stone bowl, which is similar to the large blue-rimmed bowl used for eating at home.
It is filled with grease and the wick in the middle is lit.
The wick probably contains substances such as phosphorus or magnesium that will burn when exposed to air.
If the oil is used up, it will take at least one night.
"We'd better go quickly, who knows if there are ventilation holes inside."
Rudolph strode in front, followed by the people behind him.
Sure enough, he was right.
After walking for a while, he heard a slight "pop" sound behind him.
When he looked back, he saw that the oil lamp behind him started to go out irregularly, obviously there was no air.
"Quick, quick, quick" everyone started running immediately.
Because everyone took care of Cheng Qianxun and Gross and didn't let them carry supplies and equipment, Cheng Qianxun could barely catch up.
The oil lamp continued to go out, and everyone's breathing became more and more rapid.
This was a sign that the oil lamp was competing for oxygen.
When they finally ran out of the corridor, everyone was stunned.
There was a huge space in front of them.
If it was a two-lane road just now, then this is the international airport.
This is the maze, with walls about five meters high twisting and turning to form a huge labyrinth.
Above the middle of the two doors hangs an ever-burning lamp.
Lance walked over and touched the wall with his hand until he reached the bottom.
Then he turned his head in surprise: "It is hollowed out directly inside the mountain.
This wall is directly connected to the ground without any seams."
It can hollow out the center of an entire mountain and dig it into a maze.
How much manpower, material and financial resources are required to achieve this.
King David's Cenotaph was built two thousand years after his death, that is, a thousand years ago.
It is simply unimaginable that such a project existed a thousand years ago, but there is no record in history books.
"In 1099, the reorganized Crusaders captured Jerusalem and massacred a large number of Muslim and Jewish residents in the city, killing more than 100,000 people in total."
Gross raised his arms, looking at the magnificent maze in front of him, excited. .
Sneijder snorted coldly: "Obviously these should have been killed after completing this project.
I am still thinking.
Why did the Christian Crusaders build a tomb for a Jewish king."
Reger analyzed it from his own point of view: "Maybe because he saw the Ark of the Covenant and the gold, for some reason he didn't dare to hand it over to the Holy See, thinking it was a Jewish thing, so he built this maze specifically for it.
Storage."
Hoffman sighed slightly: "Who knows?
Something made of the flesh and blood of more than 100,000 people is buried in the ground."
The First Crusade was carried out in the name of religion to capture the Holy City and return it to the Holy See.
After the results are obtained.
But they did not return it, and almost all the people in the holy city were slaughtered.
The few survivors were also sold as slaves.
Maybe in history, it was just a few paragraphs, but at that time it was blood and life.
It is said that when the horse was walking in the city, the blood-stained corpse came up to the horse's knees.
And Gross that excited.
Touch here, look there.

At this time, I took a few steps back and looked around.
I could not help but marvel at the outer walls of this endless labyrinth: "I am at the university on the mountain every day, and I never thought that the Ark of the Covenant would always be at my feet."
"We still don't know if there is an Ark of the Covenant, but at this point, there is no turning back.
Let's go to the center to see what's going on."
As soon as Rudolf finished speaking, he heard a "boom" behind him.
Everyone turned around.
The original exit was sealed tightly by a stone door that fell from above.
Gross thought for a while and said: "It must be based on the principle of vacuum compression.
When the oxygen inside is exhausted, the mechanism will be triggered and the stone door will fall."
"You may not be able to go back."
Cheng Qianxun sneered: "If you can't use explosives, just use a hoe or hammer.
This stone slab can be broken open after ten or eight days of knocking."
This was to encourage everyone, so Regel also said: "A small amount of explosives can still be used.
Add in the manpower, and it will take up to half a day."
The theory is, but in reality, many times, their lives are not in their own hands.
Let's go next.
If the Ark of the Covenant is really in the center of the maze, as long as they touch it, they win.
But there are two doors, which one should I enter?
Everyone focused on Rudolph and Gordon holding the map.
Mullen and Hoffman were surrounding Gordon.
Three professionals with experience in field training, they should be able to understand maps better than ordinary people.
Rudolf said helplessly: "Don't look at it.
There is a painting on the entrance.
Either the traces have been erased due to the passage of time, or there is no painting at all."
The map itself was wrong, or there were no two identical stone doors on the left and right side of the tall stone wall of the maze.
There is an ever-burning lamp hanging in the middle, always on, emitting a dim light.
Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Does Judaism favor the left or the right?"
"The left side should be the main focus.
The human heart is on the left side."
Rudolph responded quickly.
"It's better to be careful."
After Gross walked in, he wiped the middle door frame with his hand.
The dust that had been covered with dust for many years fell off, revealing a line of words.
He distinguished and read slowly: "Jonathan is on the left; Michal is on the right."
What do you mean, don't talk about Cheng Qianxun, even others are confused.
As a Jew, Hoffman thought for a while: "Since it is King David, does it mean Saul's two children who are related to King David?"
Now everyone was curious, so Gross explained the legend in general.
Saul was the king of the Jews, but he offended the prophet Samuel, so Samuel followed God's orders and turned to the people to find a new king.
David was the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem and was designated by Samuel as the future king.
After the Spirit of the Lord left Saul, an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
After being instructed that someone who could play the harp must use music and songs of praise to God to make the devil leave, David became the harp boy who played and sang for the king.
As David grew up, his appeal became stronger and stronger.
This made Saul very disgusted and frightened.
Jealousy caused David to suffer many misfortunes.
Fortunately, Saul's son intervened.

Saul's disgust with David reached an intolerable level, and David escaped with the help of his wife Michal.
When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately turned to the right.
It was very simple.
Since King David escaped through Michal, they could also enter safely through the door on the right.
Everyone walked into the door on the right.
When Gross saw Cheng Qianxun holding a ball of thread in his hand and placing it as he walked, he asked strangely: "What is this for?"
"I got the inspiration from some island maze, the one that contains the Minotaur."
Cheng Qianxun continued to place the thread.
They had to be just in case.
Even if they touched the Ark of the Covenant first, Professor Gross wanted to go back and they couldn't let him die here.
Hoffman sighed with understanding: "You are indeed kind-hearted.
I really don't know how someone like you survives to this day."
"Thanks to her kind heart."
Although Gross didn't know the inner meaning of what Hoffman said, he just expressed his feelings: "That night, I saw you put money in the taxi."
"Really?"
Cheng Qianxun smiled disapprovingly: "Anyway, we have enough money, and we don't have much left over."
"It's not a matter of how much."
Gross also spoke truthfully: "It's because of this that I plan to cooperate with you.
You are different from them."
Cheng Qianxun just smiled in return.
It would be great if we could cooperate.
At that time, I was just feeling sorry for the driver who was pushed by Rudolph.
She continued to place the rope, and the road that followed was almost the same as on the map, twisting and turning, and every time he passed a section, Rudolf made a mark on the wall or the ground.
I'm afraid that there won't be enough rope or something will happen.
Cheng Qianxun put the rope down and thought about the two people: "What will happen to these two in the future, they should be regarded as the prince and the princess?"
Gross sighed slightly and said: "Jonathan died on the battlefield with his father Saul in the war against the Philistines; and after King David left, Michal was forced by Saul to marry Lael's son Pa Iron.
When King David became queen, he sent for Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, and told him that his wife Michal must be returned because she was betrothed with a hundred Philistine foreskins. ” "What the hell?"
Cheng Qianxun was stunned, stopped to look at Gross, and then continued walking forward.
He murmured uncertainly: "Using this as a betrothal gift, this is..."
Gross answered firmly: "It is indeed recorded in the Old Testament, 2 Samuel 3:1416.
At that time, Saul wanted to leave David and said that if David wanted to marry the princess Michal, he must kill a hundred Philistines.
But David overachieved: his victory was two hundred enemies, so David cut off a hundred pieces of skin and took them back to marry the princess."
It was really interesting three thousand years ago.
It was not about cutting off people's heads, but about cutting off this.
Also, this is easier to carry than a human head.
Cheng Qianxun asked: "So has Michal returned to King David?"
"Yes," Gross continued to describe this long history: "The same is true in 2 Samuel 3:1416.
Michal's husband followed her, weeping as she went, as far as Bahurim.
Abner sent Michal's The general said, "Go back."
So Patiel went back.
When the ark of the covenant was brought into the holy city by King David, Michal saw him dancing. , mocking him for exposing himself in front of his servants and maidservants, like a despicable person.
And King David replied that God asked me to depose your father and all your family and make me king over Israel.
I am despised before God.
But I was noble in the sight of men.
Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children until the day of her death. 2 Samuel 6:2124.

"How come King Solomon is childless and he is not the son of King David?
How did he come?"
As soon as Cheng Qianxun asked, he understood that it was another woman who gave birth to him.
Solomon is said to have had a thousand women, and King David must have had many women as well.
After thinking about it, Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Michal already has a husband, and the relationship is very good.
King David insisted on her not because of feelings, but for face.
And he also said that God asked him to destroy her.
My father and the whole family are so ruthless."
Hoffman added: "It's not that it's abolished, it's that it kills everyone who can, and exiles the rest
