"Okay, I'll tell you the expedition plan now!" Jin Ge snapped his fingers, and immediately a subordinate sent a map. Jin Ge spread the drawings on the table and said, "What we are going to this time... here!"

The direction of the golden finger map is falling in the area near Damascus! As early as the 10th century BC, when Damascus was the capital of the Kingdom of Armenia, after many foreign invasions including the Babylonians, Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians and Persians, Damascus was conquered by Alexander the Great.    ?

However, somewhere near the former Lebanese Mountains, no one should have invaded its territory at will. It is the place called the "holy land of the distant Eastern nations". This holy land was even known to the locals earlier than the Sumerian civilization, but later it was obscured in the long river of history and gradually disappeared!

The place Jin Bing wanted to go this time was the ruins of the ancient city of the holy land in the far east. There were unknown treasures there, and they had always been the object of Jin Bing's covetment. However, he would never tell Guan Hengzhi. Guan Heng knew that it would be futile to inquire, so the two tacitly chose not to talk about the purpose of this trip, but just discussed the path of the ancient city, how to form a team, travel, etc., and the two discussed it for nearly an hour.

When they finally broke up, Jin Geng said to Guan Heng: "For safety and convenience, each of us can bring two assistants. I will notify you of the time. The expedition team is special. Please be sure to keep the secrets strictly for the people around you!"

"In addition, when I arrived near Damascus, I had a friend who wanted to join the expedition temporarily!" Jin said: "Because he is the head of the local indigenous gang and a big merchant. Moreover, this person has been living on the edge of the desert for a long time and is familiar with the road conditions and shortcuts, which is an indispensable guide!"

"So this time, this is an expedition team composed of three-party personnel!" Guan Heng glanced at Jin and said, "If the other party brings two more assistants, our group will have nine people. What I am right?"

"Yes, you're right!" Jin Bing nodded and said, "Our expedition team is expensive but not expensive. If the personnel are selected properly, six people will be able to deal with various emergencies. Otherwise, no matter how many people you lead, it will be a waste of life and a mistake!"

A few hours later, Damascus, the largest city and capital of Syria, was once one of the earliest inhabited cities in the world. It was the capital of the Umayyad dynasty, the earliest hereditary dynasty of the Kingdom of Adi. It is known as the garden of the earth and the paradise on earth. Today, Damascus still plays an alternating role of conquest and conquest. It is still the cradle of the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and the inner six people. For thousands of years, Damascus has been indomitable in the face of disasters and victory, and has become famous in the world as the iconic city in the Middle East!

Damascus is divided into two parts: the new city and the old city.??.

ww.     ?The old city is bounded by the Bayrada River. The old city is on the east bank of the river, and the new city is on the west bank of the river. The old city still preserves many famous places and historical sites from the ancient Roman and the Kingdom of Adi, and can be called the "city of ancient sites".

The straight street that runs east and west of the ancient city was the main street of the city in the Roman era. The main existing monuments are all on and near this street. Among them are the famous Umayyad Temple, which was built in 7o5 AD; the Caesars in the medieval era; and the ancient castles built in the 11th century AD, all of which are the pride of this historical city!

In addition, there is the extremely luxurious Azim Palace, which is also one of the highlights of Damascus. It was built by Assad Azim, the governor of Damascus in the mid-18th century. There are two huge reservoirs in the vast rectangular courtyard. The hall and its open-air parts are decorated with marble, ceramic tiles and exquisite woodcuts, which are gorgeous and colorful.

Above the four walls of the palace, panels and famous poems and mottos of Arab scholars. In other places there are inlaid and gilded carvings. The Hanman bathroom in the palace contains several small bathrooms of different temperatures. In the palace lie a Hittite lion hewn from igneous rock. This palace represents the top architectural level of the Abbasid Dynasty in the past. This palace is now the site of the National Museum of History of the Syrian Kingdom.

The Hamadi Market in the ancient city is a straight street. Since the prosperous trade of the Silk Road in ancient times, it has been the prosperity of Damascus. At that time, there were countless shops of various businesses. Even when the war was over, auctioning prisoners and slaves from various countries were carried out on this street. In addition, next to the market, there was a courtyard-style wooden and stone house, which was the remains of the ancient "Silk Station". Before the fierce war between the powerful [Tang Dynasty] and the Black-clothed Dashi, the courtyard-style buildings gathered in the Tang Dynasty and traded from Chang'an, Luoyang and other places!

When he arrived here, Jin Bing brought two powerful subordinates, while Guan Heng was beside him, Grim, and Huang Santae! At first, Jin didn't understand why Guan Heng was still with a fifteen or six-year-old child. As a result, when he witnessed Santae easily lifting a 2ooL large oil barrel with one hand, the big boss of the underground gang immediately closed his mouth that he wanted to open. His two men with fleshy faces almost dropped their chins!

A group of six people had already come to the market in Damascus to stroll. The former capital of Syria, Damascus, was an ancient city. Its market was world-famous. Entering it was like entering a complex maze. But it was very different after the 21st century. Many small markets were withdrawn, and rows of open-air cafes, small restaurants and newly built bars appeared on the original territory, serving fragrant tea or coffee, soft drinks, and even hookahs.

In Damascus, only people with some economic strength preferred Western-style apartments and housing. Therefore, the courtyard-style house with a secluded rural atmosphere has been unused for a long time. However, now traditional houses have once again set off a new wave of enthusiasm, and people often improve them into open-air cafes. Such cafes often adhere to the fine tradition of husband and wife shops, so that every passerby can feel the hostility of the owner.

The city of Damascus still retains thousands of old houses in the 21st century. They are not only the city's architectural treasures, but also one of the special landscapes of Damascus. These buildings still retain more than half of the Ottoman period's buildings as they are solemn on the outside and magnificent on the inside, which can be regarded as masterpieces in the history of architecture.

Next to the Umayya Temple is the Hamidya Market. It was first built in the Roman era and is known for its long history and complete goods, including clothing, cloth, leather, silver and bronze vessels and traditional handicrafts.
