From the Island Owner to the King

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire, and at the beginning of the 16th century, plundered all the gold and precious stones.

Pizarro, the Spanish commander, heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was shipped from the country of Manoa, ruled by a chief named Pati, and the gold and silver treasures were piled up there. Pizarro immediately organized an expedition and set off to the deep Amazon forest. City of Gold.

However, in this vast virgin forest, every step forward means fear and death. There are beasts and venomous snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost paths and threats. Expeditions may return in disappointment or fall. Unknown, making Pizarro look at this forest from afar can only be imagined.

Afterwards, the Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Dutch and Germans heard the news of the Golden City, and everyone wanted to grab a lot of money, so they flocked to the Amazon jungle.

Among them, a Spaniard named Caesada led about 716 expeditions to the Golden City. After paying a heavy price of 550 lives, they finally discovered the Golden City and the legendary gold in the Condina Margar Plain. Lake, found an emerald gemstone worth $3 million, but this is only a tiny part of the invaluable treasure of the Golden City.

Chen Rui's goal is the Golden Lake in Colombia, deep in the Amazon jungle.

The legendary Golden Lake is Colombia's Guardavida Lake.

In the early 17th century, the nephew of the last Indian king described the traditional coronation ceremony held on the banks of the Golden Lake: At that time, the heir to the throne was painted with gold powder, like gold, and then took a dip in the lake. , washed away the gold dust, his subjects offered gold and emeralds and piled them at his feet, the new king threw all the gold into the lake as a devotion to God, this traditional ceremony has been held countless times, the gold can be seen The reserves of the lake are very important to people.

Since the 16th century, the salvage of Golden Lake has not stopped.

In 1545, a treasure hunt team organized by the Spaniards picked up hundreds of gold items from the shallow lake bottom in three months.

In 1911, a British company dug a tunnel and drained the lake, but the sun quickly dried the thick mud into dry and hard mud slabs. When the British brought drilling equipment from the United Kingdom, the lake was once again. Filled with water, the costly salvage failed.

Many people believe that there are still astonishing treasures buried at the bottom of the golden lake, hundreds of thousands of tons of gold and 5,000 gold products.

The reason why Chen Rui chose the target as Golden Lake.

The reason is very simple. First, the search range is small.

Compared with the treasures submerged in the sea, it is extremely difficult to search. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In order to find treasures on the bottom of the sea, treasure hunters or treasure hunt companies will spend several years or even ten years searching for them.

The Golden Lake is just a lake with an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers. It only takes 40 minutes by car from Bogota, the capital of Colombia, to reach the legendary Golden Lake. The goal is very clear.

Second, the Golden Lake is not just a pure treasure legend. But there is a lot of solid evidence to prove that there are indeed hundreds of thousands of tons of gold products at the bottom of Lake Guadaveda.

For example, it is recorded that the Indians of the Guadavda country can be regarded as high-level craftsmen of gold making, and the craftsmen living on the banks of the 'Golden Lake' are the leaders of the Musca Empire.

There are gold mines near the Golden Lake of Guadaveda. In Colombia, almost every family has a collection of ancient gold artifacts that have been passed down from generation to generation, and some even claim to know some secret gold deposits.

In 1913, British explorer Walker used diving equipment to start excavating from the bottom of the shallow lake and unearthed hundreds of gold products, such as gold cups, golden bowls, gold pots and gold instruments of various sizes.

This series of examples shows that the Golden Lake is not just a treasure legend, but a real astonishing treasure, with hundreds of thousands of tons of gold products and countless gems.

In fact, due to the simple technical equipment at that time, treasure hunters or explorers limited the scope of treasure hunting activities to the lake shore, and no one could ever touch the treasures at the bottom of the lake.

Therefore, Chen Rui set the treasure hunt target at the Golden Lake, to go deep into the bottom of the Golden Lake that no one could touch before.

A week later, Chen Rui appeared in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.

After a short rest in Bogota, after replenishing supplies, tools and various preparations, Chen Rui took a car to Lake Guadaveda.

Since 1974, a large number of Colombian troops have been guarding the shores of Lake Guadaveda to protect the treasures at the bottom of Lake Guadaveda from being stolen, and no one has been able to approach this place since.

But this is not difficult for Chen Rui.

Chen Rui easily approached Guadaveda Lake and silently dived into the lake.

The shores of Lake Guadaveda have been visited by countless treasure hunters and explorers, and even if they find gold objects, there are very few leftovers. Therefore, Chen Rui's goal is the bottom of the lake that no one can ever touch.

Chen Rui walked in the bottom of the lake, and the further he went to the center of the lake, the deeper the lake was.

Until he dived to the depths of four or five hundred meters of the lake, Chen Rui turned on the underwater mine light, held a metal detector in his hand, and began to search carefully.

The sun at the bottom of the lake is very weak, and there is no water and grass.

However, the mud at the bottom of the lake was thick and the water was turbid, which made Chen Rui's search work more difficult.

Coupled with the traditional coronation ceremony held by the golden lake as described to the people by the nephew of the last Indian king, the subjects offered gold and precious stones, which piled up like a hill at his feet , and the new king threw all his gold and silver treasures into the lake as an offering to the sun god.

This shows that gold and precious stones are not piled up in one place, but scattered all over the lake bottom.

This made Chen Rui's search work even more difficult.

Suddenly, Chen Rui saw a golden yellow in the mud.

Chen Rui swam over and dug out of the silt.

This is a gold vessel with the image of a toad engraved on the gold vessel.

This is the device of the ancient Indians, because the ancient Indians recognized the toad as the incarnation of auspiciousness and wisdom. It symbolized the abundance of crops and the abundance of descendants. At that time, the ancient Indians worshipped toads in every family.

Immediately, Chen Rui found dozens of gold products nearby, including good men and women who reflected various postures of religious ceremonies, as well as utensils for offering sacrifices to the sky.
