At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire and in the early 16th century plundered all the gold gems.The Spanish commander Pizzaro heard that the gold of the Inca Empire was all shipped from the Manoa state, which was ruled by the Chief of Inca, and that the gold and silver treasures piled up like mountains. Pizarro immediately organized the expedition and went to the depths of the Amazon jungle to find the golden city.
However, in this vast and virgin forest, every step forward means fear and death. There are beasts and snakes, barbaric cannibal tribes, lost roads and threats, an expedition or disappointment is unknown, it made Pizarro look at the forest only to imagine.
Later, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the British, the Dutch, and the Germans heard about the Golden City. Everyone wanted share this piece of cake, so they swarmed and went deep into the Amazon jungle.
Among them, a Spaniard named Caesada led some 716 expedition members to the Golden City. After paying 550 lives, they finally found the Golden City and the legendary gold in the Cundimarca Plain Lake, found a $3 million jadeite gemstone, but this is only a tiny part of the gold city"s hard-to-value treasure.
Chen Rui"s goal is to locate the Golden Lake in the depths of the Amazon jungle in Colombia.
The legendary Golden Lake is Lake Guatavita in Colombia.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the nephew of the last king of the Indians described the traditional coronation ceremony held on the sh.o.r.es of the Golden Lake, at that time, the heirs of the throne were painted with gold powder, like gold, and then swim in the lake. Washed away the gold powder, his subjects offered gold and jade, piled at his feet. The new king threw all the gold into the lake. As a dedication to G.o.d, this traditional ritual was held countless times.
Since the 16th century, the salvage of the Golden Lake has not stopped.
In 1545, a treasure hunt organized by the Spaniards picked up hundreds of pieces of gold from the shallower lake in three months.
In 1911, a British company dug a tunnel and drained the lake, but the sun quickly dried the thick mud into a hard mud. When the British transported drilling equipment from the UK, the lake re-emerged. Filled with the lake, this costly salvage was defeated.
Many people believe that there are still astounding treasures in the bottom of the golden lake, hundreds of tons of gold and 5,000 gold products.
Chen Rui chose the target as the Golden Lake.
The reason is very simple. First, the search range is small.
Compared to the treasures sinking in the sea, the search is extremely difficult, just like finding a needle in a haystack. It takes several years or even ten years for the treasure hunter or treasure hunt to find the treasure on the seabed.
The Golden Lake is just a lake with an area of just over a dozen square kilometers. It takes only 40 minutes by car from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, to reach the legendary Golden Lake. The goal is very clear.
Second, the Golden Lake is not just a pure treasure legend. Rather, there is a lot of conclusive evidence that there are indeed hundreds of tons of gold products at the bottom of Lake Guatavita.
For example, the Indians who recorded the country of Guatavita can be regarded as the master craftsmen who made gold. The craftsmen who lived on the sh.o.r.es of the "Golden Lake" were the leaders of the Inca Empire.
Gold mines are abundant near the Golden Lake in Guatavita, In colombia, almost every family has a collection of ancient gold pieces that have been pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. Some people also claim to know some secret gold deposits.
In 1913, the British explorer Walker used diving equipment to excavate from the shallower lake bottom, excavating hundreds of gold products, gold cups, gold bowls, gold pots and gold crafts of various sizes.
This series of ill.u.s.trations shows that the Golden Lake is not just a treasure trove, but a truly amazing treasure, with hundreds of tons of gold products and countless gems.
In fact, because of the simple technical equipment at that time, the treasure hunters or explorers limited the scope of treasure hunt activities to the sh.o.r.e of the lake, and no one could touch the treasures of the lake bottom.
Therefore, Chen Rui will focus on the treasure hunt in the Golden Lake, and go deep into the bottom of the golden lake where no one can touch before.
A week later, Chen Rui appeared in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
After a small break in Bogotá, after replenishing supplies, tools and preparations, Chen Rui took a car to Guatavita Lake.
Since 1974, there have been a large number of Colombian army guards on the sh.o.r.es of Lake Guadavida to protect the treasures at the bottom of Lake Guadavida from being stolen, and no one can approach this place ever since.
However, this is not difficult for Chen Rui.
Chen Rui easily approached Lake Guatavita and sneaked into the lake silently.
The sh.o.r.es of Lake Guatavita have been visited by countless treasure seekers and explorers. Even if gold is found it is insignificant, Chen Rui"s goal is that no one can touch the bottom of the lake.
Chen Rui walked in the bottom of the lake, the more went to the center of the lake, the lake is getting deeper and deeper.
Until he sneaked into the depths of the lake at four or five hundred meters, Chen Rui opened the underwater mine light, held a metal detector in his hand, and began to search carefully.
The sun at the bottom of the lake is very weak, and the gra.s.s is not born.
However, the mud at the bottom of the lake is very thick and the water is very turbid, which adds to the difficulty of Chen Rui search work.
Together with the traditional coronation ceremony held by the last king of the Indians to the people on the sh.o.r.es of the Golden Lake, ... the subjects have offered gold and gems, which are stacked like hills at his feet. Then, the new king threw all the gold and silver treasure into the lake as a dedication to the sun G.o.d.
This shows that gold and gems are not piled up in one place, but scattered around the bottom of the lake.
This makes Chen Rui"s search work more difficult.
Suddenly, Chen Rui saw a golden yellow in the mud.
Chen Rui swam past and dug out from the mud.
This is a golden vessel with a enamel pattern on the gold vessel.
This is the device of the ancient Indians, because the ancient Indians regarded the incarnation of auspiciousness and wisdom, which symbolized the harvest of the grain, the sons and grandchildren, and the ancient Indians at that time were enshrined.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Rui discovered dozens of gold products in the vicinity. There were good men and women who reflected various gestures of religious ceremonies, as well as utensils for offering the heavens. Various utensils were engraved with patterns such as deer, eagle and dragonfly.
