Chapter 239

The dragonclaw team continued to advance along the footprints on the ground, while Matthew's seventh team did not follow.

Half an hour later, the dragon claw team arrived in front of a collapsed gate.

The width of the gate is 20 meters high. As for the height, it is impossible to guess.

The algae on the huge stone of a city gate has been clear. It seems that there are some strange words on it.

"What words are on it? It doesn't seem to be English. " Zhou Hongyu ran over to have a look and asked.

Wang Zheng laughed at the sight and said, "Hongyu, did you forget that there is an archaeologist among us?"

Zhou Hongyu was stunned at the speech, and then immediately looked at Sima Liang.

He almost forgot that Sima Liang was not only a survival expert, but also an archaeologist. He had the most say in this ancient writing.

"Brother Sima, come and have a look. What's written on it?"

Sima Liang did not refuse when he heard the speech. Most of the characters in the natural world were involved in. Although he could not say that he knew them all, he could at least distinguish them.

But then, when Sima Liang went to see the words on the stone, he was stunned.

He didn't know the words on it!

Sima Liang closed his eyes and thought hard. He felt that he might have missed something. He didn't know the text, but he had a faint impression in his mind.

It seems that he has seen similar records in an ancient book, but for the reason that it is too long ago, he can't remember that he has seen it there.

As time went by, everyone was quiet and did not disturb Sima Liang's thinking.

Bang!

Suddenly, Sima Liang suddenly patted his thigh and said happily, "I think I've seen it there!"

"Oh?"

Everyone's eyes brightened, waiting for Sima Liang's following.

"I once saw this kind of writing in a book. It was 20 years ago. I was just in high school. On an occasional chance, I found a copy of" the world before the flood "in my grandfather's collection. It was written by Connery, an American in 1882. This book once mentioned this kind of writing and the speculation about a lost continent."

"In the book, Connery collects seemingly unrelated fragmentary materials from archaeology, oceanography, linguistics, history, mythology, ethnology, zoology, botany and other fields of knowledge, sorts them out, integrates them, and establishes a penetrating and complex inference."

"According to Connery's research opinion, he speculated that there was a lost continent, a continent surrounded by water on all sides to the west of the Strait of gibraltarian. A continuous series of small islands and ridges served as bridges connecting the continent into the eastern hemisphere and the American continent. It extends to the valleys of Peru and Mississippi, to the Mediterranean in the East, including Egypt, and to Ireland in the north. In terms of economy and culture, they may also have contact with ancient India and ancient China. "

"Connolly said that the mainland is made up of three major ethnic groups, and the most developed are the people with small bones and reddish brown skin, somewhat like the Indians, Berbers or Egyptians of Central America today. The second is a descendant of Shem, son of Noah, a biblical figure, who may be of the yellow or ulaaltaic languages. The third is the tallest, white skin, similar to today's Greeks, Scandinavians or Celts. The three races live together, competing for power and profit, influencing each other, creating an advanced bronze culture. "

"At that time, this book was published, and it attracted the attention of the world. Countless archaeologists went to look for the disappeared continent, but in the end, no one found any trace. As time goes by, the heat of this book will gradually fade. "

After listening to Sima Liang's words, everyone was stunned. It was unexpected that someone had known about the existence of DaXiZhou 130 or 40 years ago, and accurately calculated his position.

"It's incredible. If it wasn't for the backward technology in those days that human beings couldn't go to the deep sea to search, I'm afraid that the continent would have been discovered." Fang Yun exclaimed.

"Yes, this Connery is a great archaeologist." Wang Zhengyi sighed.

Sima Liang was stunned by Wang Zhengyi's words. He wanted to say something but stopped.

"Sima Liang, do you have anything to say?" Wang Zhengyi doubts after seeing Sima Liang's expression.

"Well No, No Sima Liang said unnaturally.

Wang Zhengyi no longer said more after he nodded, but Yin Tian began to laugh.

"Oh, brother Wang, brother Sima is saving face for you."

"Oh? What's going on? There's something we can't say in front of our brothers. Sima Liang, tell me quickly. It's like the bear you're holding. " Wang Zhengyi said with a smile.

Sima Liang looked embarrassed. Since Wang Zhengyi said so, he had nothing to hide.

"Captain, Connery is not an archaeologist, nor a professional scientist, explorer, or historian. In fact, he is a politician. He was the deputy governor of Minnesota and later elected to Congress.""Er..."

Wang Zhengyi was a face old man, and knew he had made a joke. But Connally was too fucking great. A politician had done things that less scholars and experts could not do.

Suddenly, Wang Zhengyi suddenly looked at Yin Tian's direction, as if he found something wrong.

"Yin Tian, do you know Connery, too?"

"Yes, I've read that book, too." Yin Tian nodded and admitted.

During his college days, he had read all the books in the university library, and the book written by Connery to calculate the existence of the western continent happened to read. He knew that it was even more detailed than Sima Liang.

"In fact, I not only read that book, but also know the words on it!" After a pause, Yin Tian continued to say, "ah

"Really?"

"How could this be..."

This time, we were really shocked. One by one, their eyes were full of surprise. Unexpectedly, Sima Liang did not know the words Yin Tian knew.

"Yin Tian, tell me quickly. I'm eager to know what's written on it." Sima Liang went to Yin Tian and said excitedly.

As an avid archaeologist, he wanted to know more than anyone what the words on it meant.

In everyone's urgent eyes, Yin Tian pointed to the above text and said.

"You see, in fact, there is some wonderful connection between this kind of writing and the Greek alphabet, or one-to-one correspondence. Except for the differences in grammar and pronunciation, others are very similar."

"This word is equivalent to the Greek letter Ἀ, this is τ, this is λ, this is α This is Κ, and putting them together is Ἀ τ λ α ν τ ὶῆῆος, which has been translated into Atlantis in English

"If you translate him into Chinese, it's called 'Atlantis'!"

When!

Hu Hai's gun fell to the ground, but everyone else was like a sculpture without any reaction.

Oh, my God! This is Atlantis!

The mysterious ancient country in the myth and legend actually exists!
