"At 10:41:22 a.m. on May 21, local time in Los Angeles, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake occurred. The epicenter was located in Brisbane, south of San Francisco, with a depth of 11.2 kilometers. Fortunately, the earthquake did not cause any casualties, but a number of old houses in downtown San Francisco were damaged to a certain extent..."
"The earthquake that occurred at 10:41:22 this morning did not cause panic in the San Francisco area..."
"The San Francisco earthquake collapsed the swimming pool in a seaside villa in the Sea Cliff community. Surprisingly, underneath the swimming pool, there was an Indian sacrificial temple built more than 600 years ago..."
"The earthquake brought back the 600-year-old Indian sacrificial temple to the world..."
"An Indian sacrificial temple from six hundred years ago was discovered, containing a large number of precious cultural relics..."
......
If the San Francisco Chronicle's coverage of the earthquake that occurred in the morning was standard, then the numerous news reports that followed clearly put the earthquake in second place. Along with the earthquake came an "Indian sacrificial temple" that made countless people open their eyes wide!
Especially when many beautiful photos appeared on the Internet, this Indian sacrificial temple with a history of more than 600 years immediately became the local headline in San Francisco, and this headline was spreading rapidly to the United States and the world at the speed of light.
Because the United States has only a 200-year history, Americans attach great importance to historical relics and heritage. Whenever a relic with hundreds or even thousands of years of history is discovered in the United States, it will cause a sensation across the country.
The same is true for this Indian sacrificial temple. Six hundred years is a shocking history for Americans. Even if this sacrificial temple belongs to Indians, isn't it also in the United States? Indians are also the native people of the United States. Isn't their history equivalent to the history of our great United States?
The Chinese, who have a long history and civilization, really find it difficult to understand the sentiments of Americans. If it were in China, a mere 600 years of history, which is only the early Ming Dynasty, would not be a big deal. Some mainstream media would be very respectful if they could mention it. If you want to make headlines in China's mainstream media, you have to be at least Sanxingdui or the Terracotta Warriors. Even Cao Cao's tomb can't make headlines. But in the United States, a building with a 600-year history is a headline that will definitely make a sensation across the country.
So, when this news broke out, the originally quiet Sea Cliff community southeast of San Francisco immediately became a focus of attention across the United States.
In just one day, reporters from almost all the big media outlets in the United States came. Even reporters from the three major newspapers in the United States, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, and the three major TV stations, NBC, ABC, and CBS, came, and even reporters from Time magazine, the leader of the three major magazines, came.
The local media in San Francisco, which was a little slow to realize the situation, and the reporters of the San Francisco Chronicle, the second largest newspaper on the West Coast, finally took advantage of their geographical location and did not fall behind their peers.
The ones who drove all this development were Zhao Meng and Lin Dan who stood behind the scenes.
They are both native Chinese Americans, and they are very aware of the importance Americans place on history. The Indian sacrificial temple just happens to fit in with the American emphasis on history and heritage, so the two of them gave it a little push from behind, and with the help of developed information, the matter immediately became a hot topic.
In this situation, Lin Dan, as Yang Jing's spokesperson, appeared at the press conference.
The press conference was held in the evening of the second day after the discovery of the sacrificial temple. A white-haired old woman also attended the press conference with Lin Dan.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Clara Simmons from The New York Times. Can you confirm that the temple is an Indian sacrificial temple from more than 600 years ago?"
As the largest newspaper in the United States, the reporter from the New York Times got the first opportunity to ask questions.
"After more than a day of research, we have been able to preliminarily determine that this temple has a history of 600 years. Of course, you may not agree with what I say about these professional things, after all, I am not a professional archaeologist." Lin Dan said with a smile, "However, since we discovered this temple yesterday morning, we immediately sent invitations to the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University and the University of San Francisco, inviting famous archaeological experts from these three universities to come and investigate. Now, I would like to invite Mrs. Maria Bruce, a famous social humanities expert at the University of California, Berkeley, who is also a famous Indian culture expert, to introduce you to some information about this temple."
The whole audience burst into warm applause. Although these reporters would do anything to get news, they still respected real experts, especially since this expert could now answer their most concerned questions.
The old lady sitting next to Lin Dan was none other than George Cruise's mother, also a professor of social humanities at the University of California, Berkeley.
Thanks to George Bruce's convenient conditions, his mother, Mrs. Bruce, was the third group of people to enter this sacrificial temple. The first two groups were Yang Jing and his group, and the second group was Lin Dan and Zhao Meng. Mrs. Bruce was the first real expert to enter this sacrificial temple.
