Chapter 1138: Scepter of the Mayan Empire
In Ye Tian's eyes, the head of this six-pointed star golden scepter not only radiated the inherent golden light of gold, but also mixed with a brilliant yellow light. The two were in perfect harmony with each other!
From the intensity of this yellow light, Ye Tian can accurately determine that this is from a golden scepter head eight hundred years ago.
Except for the brilliant red light, this golden scepter head is still wrapped with a dozen layers of charming halo, which is pleasing to the eye!
What these dozen or so layers of fascinating halos show is its extraordinary artistic value and collection value, as well as the cultural research value behind it!
Obviously, this is a very rare piece of Indian antique art, which is very valuable!
The reason why Ye Tian made the judgment that the scepter head is related to the Golden City, of course, has his basis.
The first is the text on the head of the scepter. On the six corners of the head of the golden scepter of the six-pointed star, a hieroglyph is engraved on the front and back, which adds up to twelve hieroglyphs!
These twelve hieroglyphs are all different, there is no repetition, and each represents a different meaning!
From this point alone, Ye Tian can be sure that this is the golden scepter head of the Maya, a product of the Indian Maya civilization! And it is priceless!
As a symbol of royal power, this golden scepter head is already extremely rare, and the existence of these twelve hieroglyphs has doubled the value of this golden scepter head!
At this point, all civilized antique artworks are the same, without exception!
Antique works of art engraved with words are the most representative evidence of their own civilization, and they are by no means comparable to those without words!
As a group of Indians, the Maya are the only ethnic group in the Americas that have left written records. None of the other ethnic groups have been handed down in written records, or they have long since disappeared in the long river of history!
Ye Tian has seen Maya hieroglyphs on some of the Indian antique artworks he has handled before. Although he does not understand the meaning of these words, he has no problem identifying the source.
Moreover, he can accurately determine the age of the relevant antique artwork from, and combined with the creative style, it is very easy to identify the civilization from which the antique artwork came from!
Of course, just relying on these dozens of hieroglyphs is not enough to support his judgment, saying that this scepter head is related to the Golden City!
The more important evidence is that the patterns engraved under the hieroglyphs are all over the front and back of the golden scepter head, full of engravings!
All the patterns are sacrificial scenes, sacred and solemn, and reveal a **** smell! Because the sacrifices that appear in these patterns are all humans, they should be prisoners of war depending on their posture and clothing!
Using prisoners of war to make sacrifices is one of the favorite things the Maya do. Other Indians are the same. Some tribes even use their own tribes to make sacrifices!
The place where the Indians held their sacrifices in the pattern is a temple radiating golden light, very tall, similar to a pyramid, but with a square roof.
Through these engraved extremely fine sacrificial patterns, you can understand part of the Maya life scenes and see their superb seal carving skills!
The sacrificial patterns displayed on the head of the golden scepter, and the square-topped pyramid temple radiating dazzling golden light, are very consistent with the legend of the Golden City widely circulated in Central and South America.
Another point is that the most dazzling Maya civilization in the ancient history of Central and South America, and the Aztec civilization that originated from the same clan as Maya civilization, were all destroyed by the Spanish colonists!
They were completely destroyed by Spanish colonists at the beginning of the 16th century and the end of the 17th century, and disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only a mark that once existed!
Therefore, it is reasonable for the Spaniards to get the golden scepter head that symbolizes the Mayan Empire.
Perhaps this is the private collection of the last Spanish governor of South America. When the Bolivarian army was about to invade Lima, it hurriedly packed it and several other collections into oak crates in an attempt to ship it back to Spain!
But who would have thought that Captain Thompson, who was in charge of transporting this treasure, saw Qian's eyes open, slaughtered all the Spaniards at sea, threw them into the sea to feed the fish, and then took the Lima treasure into his own bag!
Nearly two hundred years later, this famous pirate treasure was found by Ye Tian again, and the golden scepter head that symbolized the Mayan empire also appeared in front of him!
In addition to the main sacrificial pattern, there are also some animals and plants on the head of the golden scepter, as well as patterns of the sun, moon and stars, scattered in various locations!
In addition, there are some tiny invisible lines that are entwined on the square-topped pyramids. It is difficult to find if you do not pay attention to observation!
Ye Tian also discovered the existence of these small lines by virtue of his perspective ability.
He didn't dare to draw conclusions about what these lines meant for the time being. Only after careful study and consultation with experts and scholars who studied Mayan civilization could he know their meaning.
They may point to the place where the Golden City is located, or they may not make any sense, just some simple decorative patterns!
But in any case, Ye Tian had already made up his mind at this time to take down this rare golden scepter head at all costs.
The golden scepter head, which is carved with more than a dozen hieroglyphs and symbolizes the power of the Mayan Empire, is already a rare treasure!
What's more, it may also point to the Lost Golden City. In the legend, what a huge treasure it is! Whenever there is a slight possibility, you must not miss it!
On the whole, perhaps this golden scepter head is the most valuable treasure in Lima's treasure!
After staying on the head of this six-pointed star golden scepter for a while, Ye Tian reluctantly shifted his gaze and looked away!
What he saw next were all kinds of dazzling gold and silver treasures, which made his eyes dizzy!
Soon, he quickly looked through the crate on this side, then retracted his sight, and ended this perspective!
Due to the angle relationship, there are still some boxes in the middle that cannot be seen through. I don't know what is inside. It must be gold and silver, or various jewelry, and other valuable treasures!
Ye Tian is not in a hurry, there will be opportunities later, so why bother for a while!
As long as he wants, he can always be ahead of others, understand the situation in the box, and make a decision in advance that is beneficial to him.
After investigating these boxes, Ye Tian pretended to go to the depths of the cave again, using a bright flashlight to investigate the situation in the depths of the cave!
After about five minutes, he walked out of the cave and came to Pique.
At this time, Pick continued his work. With the help of the bright flashlight, he probed the text on the wooden crates one by one. He was very serious and excited. His eyes shined straight, like a searchlight!
"Well, Pique, there is no need to identify them one by one. The answer is very clear. This is the Lima treasure that has made countless people look for nearly two hundred years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ like a fake!
The next job will be given to Jason and other company colleagues, as well as the guys from Columbia University, and the Costa Ricans. That is their job!
They will carefully count every box, every gold bar, every silver ingot, every jewellery diamond, and other valuable gold and silver treasures, which should be ours! "
Ye Tian said with a light smile, interrupting Pique who was working hard.
Hearing this, Pique immediately raised his head and said excitedly:
"You're right, this is indeed a Lima treasure. Every box comes from Lima City, and every one is filled with gold and silver treasures. It's really shocking!"
"Well, let's not talk about this for the time being. The cave is very safe. No animals were found, only some moss plants. Apart from that, there was nothing else!
You can let those guys who stay on the top of the cliff come down. Professor Douglas and the others are probably going crazy. They may curse us behind their backs!
Let's go to the entrance of the cave, use the stalagmites protruding from the ground to fix the climbing rope, arrange two downhill ropeways, and let the guys on the top of the cliff come down one by one! "
With that, Ye Tian walked towards the entrance of the cave!
