Treasure Hunt all over the World

What was displayed in front of everyone was a hand-painted sheepskin map.

The map is not big, about 40*50 in size. Due to the age, the map is a little yellowed, and the sheepskin fiber is very aging, which looks quite old, and the edges are still a little damaged.

But fortunately, the main part is still well preserved, and the various lines and marks drawn are clearly visible.

Ye Tian already knew the authenticity of this treasure map.

This is indeed an antique map from the early eighteenth century, the dazzling red light in his eyes is enough to prove the origin of this map, it is very accurate!

So is it the Malaga Princess shipwreck map?

The moment they saw the contents of the map, everyone immediately got a definite answer!

The word 'Princess Malaga' is written in Spanish at the bottom of the map, which is very eye-catching and accurately explains the content on the map.

And the number 1718 shows that the year when the Malaga Princess sank and the time when this map was drawn are all in the same year!

On the map, the local terrain of the Caribbean Sea is outlined with dotted lines, and the locations of Colombia, Panama, Jamaica, Haiti and other countries are marked with words, which are roughly the same as the current locations.

Of course, there must be some discrepancies here, and even large errors.

But this problem is not difficult to solve. Just find an official map of the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century and compare it with the modern map, and the problem can be solved smoothly.

Such maps are not difficult to find, there are many on the Internet!

In addition to the coastlines of various countries, the map also uses a black and thick solid line to delineate the specific route of the Malaga Princess voyage, which is very clear.

And the sailboat pattern crooked in the center of the map is undoubtedly the Malaga Princess, which sank on the bottom of the Caribbean, and it is also the location of the treasure!

The wreck location is indeed on the high seas between Jamaica and Colombia, consistent with centuries of rumors!

Moreover, it is also marked in text very clearly, how many nautical miles are the shipwreck from Colombia, and roughly how many nautical miles from Jamaica.

With regard to the authenticity of these lines and marks, as well as textual information, through perspective, Ye Tian got the exact answer in an instant.

This is indeed a sea treasure map drawn in the early 18th century. It is not something forged by someone using ancient parchment. There is no doubt about its authenticity!

The only regret is that the exact coordinates of the wreck are not shown on the map.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, this route was a fixed route for Spanish ships to travel between Europe and Latin America. Even if there is a gap, the access will not be too large.

This is a sea map, not a treasure map on a certain island. Due to the limitation of the times, it is not easy to achieve this level of accuracy!

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the sextant had not yet been invented, and navigators could not determine the position and draw maps with precise latitude and longitude at sea!

They can only observe the sky, and determine their position in the vast sea with relatively crude equipment such as a right-angle compass or a nautical quadrant.

This method of measurement can only determine the approximate location, and the accuracy is really not very good. The treasure map made according to this measurement result can be imagined with accuracy!

What's more, this is very likely to be a treasure map drawn up by the surviving crew afterwards, and it is the product of the combination of memory and related materials! It is probably the limit to be accurate to within 20 nautical miles!

There is no doubt about the treasure map! The rest is up to luck!

For his own luck, Ye Tian has always been full of confidence.

Coupled with the extremely sharp perspective ability, it is not too difficult to find the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures are within easy reach!

The appraisal is over!

Ye Tian looked up at Russell and Silva, and then began to read out the appraisal conclusion.

"Gentlemen, this is indeed a map from the early 18th century, pointing directly to the treasure of the Malaga Princess shipwreck, it is true! And it is indeed more accurate than the previous treasure map!

The transaction was successful! I hope we can successfully find the wreck of the Malaga Princess according to this rare treasure map,

Find out the huge wealth buried in the depths of the Caribbean Sea for three hundred years! "

Before the words were finished, cheers were already heard in the living room.

"Great! Let me just say it's true!"

Silva cheered, eyes full of excitement, but also a little bit reluctant.

Who would be willing to give away such a valuable treasure map like this?

Russell is also cheering, also very excited.

After the cheers fell, Ye Tian immediately asked curiously:

"I would like to ask, Silva, how did you get this treasure map? Since there is such a treasure map, why don't you go out to sea to find the treasure yourself? Instead, transfer it?"

A wry smile appeared on Silva's face, and then he began to explain the reason.

"To be honest! The Colombian sailor who drew this treasure map is my ancestor. For three hundred years, this treasure map has been hidden in our house and has never been known to outsiders!"

"So that's it. I didn't expect your ancestors to be the crew of the Malaga Princess, so the credibility of this treasure map is even higher!"

Ye Tian said suddenly, a question in his mind was solved.

After a short pause, Silva continued:

"The sea area where the Princess of Malaga sank was not a shallow sea of ​​20 to 30 meters, but the shallowest place was 50 to 60 meters, and there was also a deep sea with a depth of several thousand meters. The hydrological conditions were quite complicated.

Before the 20th century, the water depth of tens of meters was a forbidden area for human beings, not to mention the depth of more than one thousand meters! My grandparents have also tried it, but they all failed! He even took his life!

Even in the 20th century, deep diving is still a very challenging extreme sport. Few people can play it well, at least there are no such talents in our family! "

Ye Tian nodded, agreeing with these words.

Deep sea diving is indeed not something everyone can play. Without a strong physical fitness to rely on, as well as scientific methods and equipment, rashly diving deep is pure courting death!

"You can hire deep-sea salvage companies, there are many such companies now!"

Russell interjected, with a bit of regret in his tone.

Silva shook his head, said with a wry smile:

"It's not that we haven't thought about it, but the cost of hiring a deep-sea salvage company is too high and the risk is too high. If it fails, the result will be bankruptcy, or even family ruin, we can't afford it!

This is Colombia, almost never peaceful, social unrest, gangsters rampant, even the government departments, corruption is rampant, it may not be better than the underworld!

In such a dangerous environment, how dare we take out the treasure map and go out to sea to search for treasure with great fanfare, and we dare not even disclose any information, lest we will lead to a disaster of death.

For us, although this treasure map is real, the huge wealth buried at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea is an illusory dream, which is always out of reach!

That's why I heard someone inquiring about the relevant news in the bar, and coupled with the current precarious situation, I thought about selling the treasure map to you and taking this opportunity to escape from Colombia! "

After hearing this explanation, Ye Tian immediately said a few words with emotion.

"That's right, salvaging treasures from sunken ships is basically a game between ocean exploration companies and governments of various countries. If ordinary people get involved rashly, they may get nothing, or even be crushed to pieces!"

After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian put the treasure map back into the box and handed it to Russell.

"The transaction is complete! Now you can notify your people, prepare to pick up Silva's wife and children, send them to Cartagena Airport as soon as possible, and take them out of Colombia!"

"Okay, I will notify them to act immediately!"

Russell nodded excitedly, took the box and put it in his backpack.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately began to notify his men to prepare to pick up Silva's family through the invisible headset.

And here, Ye Tian said to Silva:

"Silva, hurry up and call your wife, your two children and their teacher, so that they can cooperate and prepare to evacuate Cartagena.

After making the phone call, go and pack your things. We should evacuate here too. Except for the necessary documents and cash, try to bring as little as possible. If you bring too much, it will be a burden! "

"Okay, I'll call them right away, thank you, Jack!"

Silva nodded and said, a little incoherent with excitement.

Then, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling to inform his family.

at the same time.

Matisse has removed the top famous painting from the Renaissance art master Titian, "Waterscape in Venice", from the frame.

Then carefully rolled it up and put it in a painting tube, and handed it to Ye Tian.

The moment Ye Tian took the painting tube, Ye Tian's hands trembled with excitement, and his eyes were even brighter like searchlights!

But he quickly restrained his emotions and quickly said to Matisse:

"Payton, remind everyone to be vigilant. Once Russell's men pick up Silva's family, the gangsters outside the door will probably receive the news soon. We must guard against their attacks!"

"Okay, I'll set up defenses now!"

Matisse responded, and immediately began to arrange.

Ye Tian stood in the middle of the living room with a painting tube in his hand, looking at the three busy people with a very relaxed expression.

But from the corner of his eyes, he was always staring at a corner of the ceiling.

There's also a top art piece in there, also dude's!
