Chapter 978 Judgment
Chapter 978 Judgment
"—It is said that this place is Troy!" After spending more than ten minutes reading all the materials, Liang En finally found a crucial sentence at the end of the article.
"Yes, there used to be such a legend." Nelson nodded slightly and said. "It's just that at that time, everyone thought that ancient epics were just imagined by people, so no one paid attention to this before."
"But since you discovered several important ancient cities in legends, such as Mycenae, Minotaur, and the very likely Atlantis, everyone began to pay attention to those histories."
"And now, once we pay attention to this history, then Troy is a core that cannot be avoided at all, so many people are trying to find ancient Troy."
"Obviously, the Thule Association has obviously noticed this, and has completed the positioning of the core before others, and is preparing to launch a large-scale excavation operation to survive the crisis it faces."
"So that's the case." Liang En nodded and continued to observe the information in his hand, hoping to find some flaws in the information.
After all, the Troy ruins do exist in his memory, and they are indeed located near the Dardanelles, so he hopes to find out whether the Thule Association has really found the right target now.
After briefly checking the information in hand, Liang En roughly determined why the Thule Association chose this area, and believed that this place was because of Troy.
Because according to the description in Homer's epic, Troy was built on a mountain, surrounded by two springs, one hot spring and one ordinary spring.
The area chosen by the Thule Association met all the requirements: it did have two springs, hot springs and ordinary springs, and there was also a hill with a flat upper side suitable for building.
However, after carefully reading the map, Liang En felt that the Thule Association's judgment might not be accurate, because he just observed the situation on the map, and he found some inappropriate places.
For example, this place is a full 3 hours away from the coast, but it is clearly written in Homer's epic that the heroes can go back and forth between the anchored ships and the besieged city several times a day.
That is to say, if this place is really the legendary Troy, then unless those people are space warriors, it is impossible to run a few times a day and still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness.
In addition, the local hills are very small, not to mention building a majestic palace with 62 houses in the epic, it is probably not enough to build a house for ordinary people with a little money at that time.
As for the huge city that was opened by the Greeks and put into the Trojan horse, no one with a normal mind would build a city in such a rugged place full of small hills.
As for the most important clue: the two springs are not the same as imagined. Although they have not been able to conduct field inspections, they can basically confirm that there are far more than two springs in this place by contacting some people.
One of the clues came from the Golden Dawn, a relative of one of their members had visited the place and determined that there were at least 20 springs in it.
Another clue comes from their secret intelligence clues. The intelligence said that this place is called "Kirk Gios", which means "40 eyes" in the local language, and it probably refers to the number of springs.
"That means that the members of the Thule Association went to the wrong place, right?" After listening to Liang En's analysis step by step, President Charles who was present asked.
"Yes, after all, the core of this kind of archaeological work is based on Homer's epic. If there is a certain difference, it can be understood. After all, this is an epic and not a history book, but it is not normal if they all do not match."
Liang En categorically expressed his opinion to the Golden Dawn members present. At least he is a professional in this respect, so he is naturally very confident in his own judgment.
"However, I can easily see these things, and there must be someone in the Thule Association who can see them." Liang En frowned after finishing his preliminary judgment.
"So it's obviously not normal for the other party to choose this very likely wrong place to carry out excavation work. I can't figure out why they would do this."
After Liang En's question was raised, the meeting fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about the various situations raised by Liang En, until President Charles put forward his own opinion a few minutes later.
"It's possible that they made an important mistake, which is not uncommon." The president said after consideration. "You know basically no one is guaranteed to pay off every time they dig."
"If you simply limit the matter to this aspect, their current situation is indeed a bit strange. As Liang En said before, this problem is a bit too obvious. I can hardly imagine that the president of the Thule Association will approve such an action. .”
As two organizations that have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, there will be no problems with some basic judgments of the other side. At least in President Nelson's view, he will never mobilize people like he is now when there is such a big problem.
"In other words, the other party's actions may be hiding something else." Another senior member of the Golden Dawn said seriously at this time. "It's just that we still don't understand what the other party is hiding behind."
"There are several possibilities." Liang En said with a slight frown. "According to my inference, they now have two possibilities. One possibility is that they have indeed found the wrong one, and the other possibility is that they are setting up traps."
"You mean this is setting up a trap?" President Charles showed a curious expression after hearing what Liang En said, because it coincided with his own thoughts.
"Yes, you must know that the other party may have discovered us after obtaining the official excavation permit, which means that the Thule Association is indeed stronger than us in Turkey." Liang En nodded to stabilize his mind, and continued.
"So I have a guess that the other party is actually deliberately causing this situation. As for the purpose, the main purpose is to lure us out, and then use our strength to complete the search."
"After all, they have some relations in Turkey that we are not sure about, so it is very likely that they made this gesture to let us enter Turkey to search, and then they snatched our excavation results behind."
"At the same time they know what they need most right now, and they know what we would do if we wanted to disrupt their operation, and in that case they're likely to take the risk of turning a disadvantage into an advantage."
After Liang En finished speaking, the meeting room fell into silence again. Everyone was considering the possibility of what he said, and then everyone present gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.
Soon everyone reached a consensus on this aspect. Considering the previous series of actions of the Thule Association, everyone agreed that the possibility proposed by Liang En was not only possible, but also very large.
"It seems that the next action is a bit troublesome." At the end of the meeting, President Charles made a summary for the meeting. "So the next step is to figure out what happened and then decide what to do next."
