In a cool and dry cave, a wooden box 40 centimeters square and nearly one meter long was placed on a stone, and directly above the box, there were several light bulbs reflecting light.

The two brothers walked over quickly, and Shi Quan picked up a light bulb and gently wiped off the dust on it. The shape and structure of this light bulb did not look much different from the incandescent light bulbs that were once widely used, but there was a shiny piece of light enclosed inside the light bulb.

of metal foil.

"Have you ever seen this thing?" Big Ivan also picked up a light bulb and asked.

"Light bulb?"

"disposable"

Big Ivan held up the light bulb in his hand and introduced, "This is a high-power flash light bulb. Before the 1960s, this kind of light bulb was used in almost all cave explorations. Its function is the same as that of a flash light. Depending on the power,

Can provide flashes of different brightness.

But these light bulbs are typical disposable equipment, so photographers at that time even competed on the speed and skill of changing light bulbs, and carrying a large number of flash bulbs was a must for cave exploration shooting."

"How do you know this so clearly?" Shi Quan asked curiously.

"If you have the chance, you can learn a lot by spending time in Lao Anton's antique camera shop."

Big Ivan carefully opened the wooden box. Except for a hand-cranked camera without film, the rest of the space was filled with flash bulbs with wrapping paper.

"The hand-cranked camera is a British product. There are a lot of these things, so they probably won't be worth much. But these light bulbs can be taken away when you go out. Although the flash light bulb itself is not valuable, its wrapping paper is very valuable.

Collection value."

Shi Quan was dumbfounded. Not to mention that he understood this thing, he had never even heard of it. Of course, it was whatever Big Ivan said.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Big Ivan closed the box and said, "It's impossible that the Bedouins outside have not come in for so many years. Why didn't they take these things away?"

"What's the use of taking it away?"

Shi Quan looked at the light at the hole that was only the size of a fingernail behind him, "Not to mention before and after World War II, this nomadic tribe in the desert probably hasn't used electrical appliances until now, and only a few are even educated. Do you think they have these things?"

Is it useful?"

"makes sense"

Big Ivan nodded and didn't go into further details. He took the lead and continued to push deeper into the cave.

But before they could go far, the cave ended and was replaced by a cliff more than ten meters deep.

"Ivan, look at this."

Shi Quan aimed the light of his headlight at the boulder the size of a truck tire on the edge of the cliff.

There is a rope as thick as a thumb remaining on the stone, but one end of the rope is only less than 20 centimeters, so it was obviously cut artificially.

"Abraham wouldn't be so unlucky that he happened to be down there, right?" Big Ivan turned around and asked.

"I'm afraid we can only find out if we go down and take a look."

Shi Quan took out the safety belt from his backpack and put it on his waist. After Big Ivan tied the climbing rope, he skillfully rappelled to the bottom of the cliff. This was something he could do when he learned ice climbing with old man Nineel in the Arctic Circle.

Unexpectedly, it was not used on the cold Bennett Island, but was used in the desert.

After his feet landed on the ground, Shi Quan looked around. The space under the cliff was not too big, and with the guidance of the last white arrow in the map field of view, it was easy to find clues.

"Did you find anything?" Big Ivan asked as he lay on the cliff.

"Wait a moment"

Shi Quan walked closer and discovered that the white arrow marked was actually an old-fashioned suitcase.

Next to the suitcase, there was a mummy wrapped in a blanket and curled up.

Gently lifting the blanket, the mummy still had a pair of glasses on his face. He was wearing an elderly sweater, army green trousers and canvas boots. There was also a metal flashlight and a hand-cranked iron flashlight scattered around his chest.

A Browning Hi-Power pistol.

Next to the body, there was a shriveled water bladder and a pack of half-eaten compressed biscuits.

Without hurrying to turn over the corpse, Shi Quan gently opened the box and found that there were a lot of good things inside.

The most eye-catching thing is a double-lens reflex camera. Thanks to the dry environment around it, this camera is in an exceptionally good state of preservation with no visible damage at all.

In addition to the camera, the box also contained a large and scary gas lamp and an almost falling apart mechanical typewriter.

Taking these things out one by one and setting them aside, there was still a scarab-shaped seal left in the box, a few flash bulbs and a notebook with a pen, and an ancient Egyptian hand wrapped tightly in a blanket.

Sickle sword!

Putting these things back into the box, Shi Quan couldn't tell which of the things the white arrow pointed to.

"Yuri, what's going on down there?" Big Ivan urged from the top of the cliff.

"We found a body, it should be Abraham."

Hearing this, Shi Quan quickly closed the suitcase, "There is also a suitcase, be careful when you put it up, there is a camera in it."

"Where is Jinshan? Where is the Revenge Army?"

Big Ivan didn't care about the camera at this time. He couldn't wait to know if the bottom of the cliff was like what the tomb robber said.

“None of that”

Taking advantage of Big Ivan's opportunity to pull the suitcase upwards, Shi Quan packed the body in a body bag and checked again. This cliff can be described as a house with four walls. Not to mention a golden mountain, a cabinet

, the Revenge Army, doesn’t even have a statue of a god or even a mural!

Turning on the action camera to record the surrounding environment in detail, Shi Quan climbed up the cliff with the help of Big Ivan.

"Yuri, we found the treasure!"

Before Shi Quan could stand firm, Big Ivan said excitedly, "This Abraham was definitely a rich man at that time!"

"How do you say this?" Shi Quan asked curiously.

"Let's talk about this camera first."

Big Ivan took out the camera from the box, "This is a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera. I've seen exactly the same one in Old Anton's shop. It's a treasure that can be put on auction!"

Without waiting for Shi Quan to say anything, Da Iwan casually took out the mechanical typewriter that was about to fall apart and the big and scary gas lamp, "These two were not cheap at the time, but they are not valuable now."

"Needless to say, the ancient Egyptian sickle sword and seal are definitely treasures. That seal is what we saw in the photo before."

Big Ivan continued to take it out quickly, "I just flipped through the notebook. It should be in Italian and I can't understand it, but this pen is from Parker. It is also a rare collection."

Seeing that all the things in the suitcase were emptied, Shi Quan was about to speak when he saw Big Ivan gently buttoning the lid of the suitcase, then turning it over and gently wiping the dust on it with his sleeves, "The last thing is this suitcase, don't

Tell me you don't recognize this pattern."

"lv?Louis Vuitton?"

Shi Quan looked at the familiar pattern on the box with his mouth wide open. Just now, he really didn't notice that this box was actually a luxury item!

"So I say this Abraham is definitely a rich man!"

Big Ivan gently stroked the suitcase, "Not counting anything else, this suitcase alone can be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars!"

Shi Quan took the box and looked at it carefully. The easy-to-touch areas and the frame around the box were all covered with copper. In particular, the two pure copper locks were not only exquisite in workmanship but even had gorgeous patterns.

"Ivan, do you think Abraham was able to buy so many luxury goods at that time?"

Shi Quan pointed at everything placed at his feet, "Whether it's this box, the camera, or even the gas lamp, they were probably not cheap at the time.

But according to our previous speculations and evidence, didn’t Abraham be captured by the British army? Where did he get the money to buy these things?”

"We can only find out after we go out and ask Virgil to help translate the contents of the notes."

Big Ivan said as he put everything back into the box, "Do you want the box or the body bag?"

"Of course it's a body bag."

Without thinking, Shi Quan picked up the light body bag, which was much lighter than the suitcase. Big Ivan didn't care at all, he happily picked up the suitcase and followed behind Shi Quan and walked out.

When he passed by the box of flash bulbs, the scumbag didn't say anything about the nonsense he brought back, which made it clear that he didn't like it.

When the two brothers emerged from the cool cave again, they were a little uncomfortable with the dazzling sunlight. They closed their eyes for a while and then they could clearly see the person sitting at the entrance of the cave.

The small house outside the cave had already been covered with a thick piece of camel skin, and the old patriarch Abdullah and Virgil were chatting happily with the help of the translator.

"It seems you already have what you want?" After the old patriarch said, he grabbed the car keys that were placed between him and Virgil.

"Ask me the old patriarch, when was the last time someone came here?" Shi Quan handed the body bag to Virgil's bodyguard and did not leave in a hurry.

Hearing this, the old patriarch fell into memories, and after half a minute he replied, "I just heard my father say this. It is said that before the end of World War II, a camel team of hundreds of people came here.

They moved a large number of ancient Egyptian artifacts into this cave, and my father said there was even a mummy."

Shi Quan and others looked at each other, this is not a pyramid, how could there be a mummy?

"Yuri, I think we'd better get out of here as soon as possible." Big Ivan said while vaguely patting the suitcase in his hand.

"Virgil, go to Big Ivan's car."

Shi Quan couldn't sit still. They were not afraid of the people who had been here more than half a century before them, but wanted to find a safe enough place as soon as possible for Virgil to translate the contents of the notes and see if they could

I can't find any clues in it.

Saying goodbye to the old patriarch in a hurry, Shi Quan and others turned around and left the Bedouin camp as quickly as possible.
Chapter completed!
