Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 525
Chapter 525
Just when the rest of the people were stunned, Xiao Ran had already squatted down.
He took a closer look at the set of numbers carved into the wall, as well as the other pieces of granite next to it, as well as the faint sanding marks on the walls.
Then he stretched out two fingers and gently touched the stone engraved with the founding date of the United States a few times, feeling the situation of the stone.
The moment his finger touched the granite block, he felt it.
The surface of that granite is not flat, there are some small depressions, which should have been sanded.
After a little thought, Xiao Ran said in surprise:
“Judging from the slight depression on the surface of this granite, there should have been other words or patterns engraved here, or it may be a set of numbers” “I don’t know for what reason, the original patterns and words were polished off and
engraved with the founding day of the United States” “Judging from the situation of this granite, this set of numbers should have been engraved in the mid-to-late nineteenth century”
Can anyone tell me what words or patterns were originally engraved here, or what numbers were engraved?
With that, he turned his head to look at Professor Baker and Professor Adrian and the others.
The Yale School of History professors shook their heads in unison, equally curious.
“We don’t know what was originally engraved here, this is the first time we have found this situation
” “Before that, no one thought that there was anything wrong with the founding date engraved here, everyone was used to
it” “But now it seems that this set of numbers appears here, it is indeed a little suspicious”
Said, Professor Baker has crouched down.
He also reached out and gently touched this piece of granite, and clearly felt the existence of the depression.
The faint and regular horizontal lines on the stones are enough to indicate that this is the result of artificial polishing.
“Yes, there are indeed traces of artificial polishing here” ”
The founding day engraved on the wall is indeed carved later,”
Professor Baker nodded and said, affirming Xiao Ran’s judgment.
With this conclusion, everyone’s eyes lit up, and at the same time, they were full of doubts.
No one knows what words or patterns, or numbers, were originally engraved here, or what secrets were hidden behind them.
Seeing that Professor Baker was also confused, Xiao Ran turned to look at the head of the conference hall and the representative of the Winthrop family.
“Do you know what’s going on? What was the text or pattern originally engraved here?
“Is there a clear record of these things in the relevant literature?”
Hearing this, the two guys shook their heads in unison.
“We don’t know what’s going on, before today, we never felt that there was any doubt here
” “As for the founding day engraved on the stone slab, it seems to have been carved on a national day before the Civil War”
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Is there any record of the founding day engraved here?”
Xiao Ran and Professor Baker said in unison.
When the words fell, the two of them immediately looked at each other, both full of expectation.
The representative of the Winthrop family shook his head, but the head of the Faneuil Hall chamber fell silent.
A moment later, this guy suddenly said:
“The matter of the founding day is engraved here, it seems that there is really a record
” “I remember seeing the relevant content in some documents, but I don’t remember it clearly”
The words did not fall, and everyone’s faces were already surprised.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Baker couldn’t wait to say:
“Since there is such literature, why wait for it?”
“Hurry up and find out those documents, everyone wants to know the relevant situation,”
the person in charge of the conference hall nodded immediately.
“Okay, I’ll look for these documents, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll find them,”
he said, and the guy walked towards the library next to the conference hall.
The library is basically full of historical documents related to Faneuil Hall.
These include the design drawings of the Faneuil Hall, the expansion drawings, as well as the materials of many historical events that took place here, various historical documents signed, etc.
Of course, many of these things are replicas that people can consult and study.
Most of the valuable originals are in the collections of the Boston Library and the National Library, as well as major museums.
Following the head of the chamber into the library were Professor Adrian and representatives of the Winthrop family.
Jack originally wanted to follow, but stopped and stayed in the conference hall, just kept looking over to the library.
What kind of calculations these guys are making, Xiao Ran knows it.
They just want to grasp the relevant information at the first time and see if there is any secret hidden behind this matter!
If the secret is important, for example pointing directly to the location of the colonial treasure.
Whether to take out relevant historical documents and materials for Xiao Ran to check is a matter of two words!
For this situation, Xiao Ran did not care very much!
Everyone has different positions, and their calculations are naturally different, which is normal!
After the head of the conference hall and Professor Adrian left, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker continued to study the numbers carved on the walls and had discussions.
In addition, they looked around again.
This includes the situation below the rostrum, the lounge next to it, and the many columns that stand on both sides, as well as the walls and floors, and so on.
Unfortunately, they found nothing else.
As Xiao Ran expected, in the past two hundred years, Faneuil Hall has been probed I don’t know how many times.
Even if there are some hidden secrets here, they have long been discovered by people, and it is impossible to save them to the present!
During this time, the exploration group downstairs made another discovery.
After receiving the news, Xiao Ran immediately went downstairs to check the situation.
It turned out that the exploration group had discovered a dark compartment hidden inside the wall, very hidden.
Xiao Ran checked the situation, quickly found the location of the mechanism, and opened the secret compartment.
The inside of that dark compartment is empty, and there is not a single hair, so that everyone is empty and happy!
After this little episode, Xiao Ran returned to the upstairs conference hall.
As soon as he returned to the conference hall, he saw the head of the hall and Professor Adrian coming out of the library.
They were holding several old books and several yellowed file bags.
But everyone frowns and has question marks on their faces!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but ask in surprise:
“Gentlemen, it seems that you have found some documents
” “But why are you with this expression, what happened?”
With these words, Professor Adrian immediately looked over and introduced the situation.
“That’s right, Sean, we did find
relevant historical documents” “Your speculation is very accurate, the founding date on
this wall is indeed engraved later” “Originally engraved on this wall, it is also a set of numbers, but it has long been polished off” ”
This set of numbers is very peculiar, I don’t know what they mean, and it is not stated in the relevant historical documents”
The hall supervisor and the Winthrop family representative both nodded, equally confused.
Xiao Ran did not immediately respond, but walked straight towards Adrian and them.
When he came closer, he said curiously:
“What exactly is this set of primitive numbers, and what is peculiar?” Let me see”
Professor Adrian nodded, then took a yellowed book and opened it.
In a few moments, he found the relevant record and began to introduce it.
“Sean, Baker, look
here” “It is unmistakably recorded here that the founding date on the wall was carved in 1859, when a small ceremony was performed
” “A set of numbers originally carved on this granite is ‘320916’, which looks ordinary” ”
This set of numbers does not seem to have any connection with Faneuil Hall, neither the day of Faneuil Hall was built, nor the date of its reconstruction, It’s more like someone carving it casually
” Because of this, the director who managed Faneuil Hall at that time suggested polishing off this set of numbers and engraving the founding day on this wall”
With Adrian’s introduction, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker both saw the relevant records, black and white, clear and clear!
Seeing this set of ordinary numbers, they were all stunned, all full of questions, and did not know why.
Next, Xiao Ran quickly flipped through the book that recorded the history of Faneuil Hall and found nothing.
After a moment, he asked
, “Adrian, is there any record of this set of numbers on the rest of the historical materials?”
“If so, does that illustrate the meaning of this set of numbers?”
Adrian shook his head.
“On several other historical documents, we also found
this set of strange numbers” “What exactly does this set of numbers mean, who carved it, and what secrets are hidden behind it, it is not explained”
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat disappointed.
Xiao Ran was silent and fell into thought.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said:
“You guys find all the documents that record this set of numbers, I’ll take a look and see if I can find the secret hidden inside
” “In addition, I also need the design drawings of Faneuil Hall, as well as the drawings of the reconstruction, etc.”
“No problem, Sean, everything you want is here”
Professor Adrian nodded and replied.
Subsequently, they placed all the documents they found on the table and opened them one by one.
Xiao Ran and Professor Baker immediately stepped forward and began to examine these historical documents.
The rest stood aside, waiting expectantly for the results.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed.
Xiao Ran quickly flipped through all the documents, looked at everything related to that set of figures, and the design drawings of Faneuil Hall, and then fell into deep thought again.
After thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice:
“Professor Baker, Professor Adrian, I don’t know if you found
it” “This strange set of numbers only appeared after the reconstruction of Faneuil Hall in 1761” “There is no record of this set of numbers in the documents before
this” “It is basically certain that this set of strange numbers was raised at the time of the reconstruction of Faneuil Hall
, and it was later polished off!”
“As for who carved this set of numbers, what secrets are hidden behind it, it is unknown!”
Professor Baker paused for a moment, then nodded in unison.
“Indeed, this strange set of numbers did not appear until after 1761
” “But what does this set of numbers mean?” It’s so puzzling!
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then continued:
“You may also see that the Faneuil Hall rebuilt in 1761, although it was rebuilt according to the original drawings in 1742, there were still some small changes
” “By the time of the expansion in 1806, the appearance of the Faneuil Hall changed again, and even more, it became its current appearance!”
“Combined with these changes, combined with this strange set of numbers, I have some associations, or conjectures!”
“If my guess is correct, I may be able to unlock the secret behind this strange set of numbers!” Before
the words fell, the scene immediately resounded with an exclamation.
“Ah! You can unlock the secret of this peculiar set of numbers, I heard it right?
“What is the secret behind this set of numbers?” Sean, tell us about your conjecture! ”
