, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!

Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece, is located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. It has a typical Mediterranean climate, with warm and humid winters, little rain in summer and plenty of sunshine.

This is one of the oldest cities in Europe and even the entire world. It has a clearly recorded history of more than three thousand years and is known as the "cradle of European civilization."

It is also the birthplace of European philosophy, which has had a significant impact on the development of European and world culture, and gave birth to a large number of great historical figures such as Socrates and Plato. It is the origin of the so-called folk cooking.

In the entire Western world, Athens can even be called the spiritual home of people, and its status is extremely important.

After a long period of more than 3,000 years, Athens still retains many historical sites and a large number of works of art, radiating the bright light of civilization.

The most famous of these is the Parthenon on the Acropolis, which is regarded as a symbol of Western culture and stands on the top of the Acropolis hill.

In addition, Athens is also the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games and has hosted many Olympic Games.

When Ye Tian and the others entered the city of Athens, darkness still enveloped this ancient city, and the people living in this city were sleeping in their dreams.

Because of the deep night, even though Ye Tian and the others have entered Athens, they cannot appreciate the beauty of the city and experience the historical charm accumulated over the past three thousand years. It is somewhat regrettable.

However, when the convoy entered the central city of Athens and bypassed several hills of different heights, the eyes of everyone in the convoy were bright.

Not far in front of the convoy, the Parthenon, standing on the top of the Acropolis, suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision.

Although it is early in the morning, darkness covers the earth and the entire city, but under the illumination of the landscape lights, the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis in Athens looks resplendent, simple and solemn!

Suddenly, it looked like a temple descending from the sky, radiating incomparably bright light, illuminating the entire Athens, illuminating the entire Western world, and also illuminating Western civilization!

Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation in the convoy.

"Wow! It's spectacular! It's shocking! At this moment, I really appreciate the greatness of the Parthenon!"

"The Parthenon is so beautiful. Who would have thought that such a magnificent temple was actually built more than 2,500 years ago. It's incredible!"

Unlike the amazed guys in the convoy, Ye Tian looked at the magnificent Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis Hill, but Ye Tian had another feeling!

This ancient Greek temple is regarded as a symbol of Western culture. Its most acclaimed and shocking carving art comes from Phidias, the head of the three ancient Greek sculptors, and is one of its most famous representative works. One.

The Temple of Pat was built to celebrate Athens' victory over the Persian invaders. It is enshrined in the ancient city of Athens, the goddess of wisdom, art and war, the goddess of Athena.

The name of the city of Athens comes from its patron saint.

The statue of the goddess Athena once enshrined here was created by Phidias, a master carving artist, and is a famous representative work of him.

It was a statue of Athena inlaid with gold and ivory. It was about 12 meters high. It was the largest statue of Athena in ancient Greece at that time.

In addition to this statue of Athena, in the ancient city of Athens, there are two other statues of Athena by Phidias.

One is located in Syntagma Square, the statue of the **** is nine meters high; the other is located on the pillar of the Acropolis Hill Gate, about seven meters high, both of which are top art works.

It is a pity that these goddess Athena statues have disappeared in the long river of history and are missing.

Not only these few statues of the goddess of Athena, but other sculptures by the artist Phidias, most of them have disappeared, have not been handed down, and only exist in legends.

The only sculpture that Phidias has passed down and is well-known is the sculpture on the Parthenon.

It is these carvings on the Parthenon, the most perfect specimens of these classical carvings, that established Phidias's position as the head of the three ancient Greek sculptors, and it is indisputable.

Everyone thinks that apart from these classical reliefs on the Parthenon, independent individual Phidias sculptures no longer exist.

But who would have thought that Ye Tian had a statue of Athena that was made by Phidias and had put together nearly 70%.

Once this statue of Athena is assembled, even if it is not completed, as long as it is publicly displayed, it is announced that it is the work of the ancient Greek sculpture **** Phidias and the statue of Athena created by him.

At that time, what kind of scenes will appear, and what a huge sensation it will cause, even people like Ye Tian who have seen and handled countless top antique works of art cannot even imagine.

In front of the statue of Athena of Phidias, the two treasures of the Louvre museum, "Venus de Milo" and "Statue of Victory", are not enough to see at all, and their value is far apart !

There is no doubt that once this statue of Phidias's Athena is publicly unveiled, it will surely shock the entire world and cause countless people to go crazy.

Especially the Greeks, Athenians, and even all Westerners, I am afraid that they will go to the pilgrimage and worship under this idol like a tide!

The Parthenon, a symbol of Western culture, stands on the top of the Acropolis, but the only statue of Athena in the world that was made by Phidias and should be enshrined in the Parthenon is displayed in its own museum !

When he thought of this, Ye Tian felt relieved, excited and wanted to cheer, not to mention how happy he was!

It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at the booked hotel.

This is a five-star hotel located at the foot of the Acropolis hill, close to the Acropolis. It takes less than five minutes to walk to the Acropolis. It is even less than 100 meters away from the Acropolis Museum.

Staying in this hotel, open the window, even lying on the bed, you can see the magnificent, but simple and solemn Parthenon Temple, the scenery is superb.

It was precisely because of the scenery and the unique location that Ye Tian booked this five-star hotel and packed a full two-story guest room as everyone's residence in Athens.

In this way, everyone can enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the city of Athens in the days before and after exploring the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

The arrival of Ye Tian and the others made the Athens police and the hotel very nervous, and raised the security level of this five-star hotel to the highest level.

In and around the entrance of this five-star hotel, you can see Greek police cars with flashing police lights, as well as fully armed Greek police with live ammunition.

The security staff of the hotel also got up to 120,000 points of spirit, staring one by one, staring at the newly arrived convoy and everyone in the convoy, not daring to relax for a moment.

Fortunately, nothing happened, Ye Tian and his party successfully completed the check-in procedure.

Next, Ye Tian was polite with the Greek friends who accompanied him to the hotel and the diplomatic staff of the US Embassy, ​​and shook hands with these guys one by one and bid farewell to them and sent them all away.

Later, he took David and Jason upstairs to his presidential suite.

Entering the room, putting down the things in his hand and taking off his coat, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:

"Jason, you go to inform everyone that in the next two days everyone can move freely, take a good rest, adjust the jet lag, and go out to visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Athens, but you must pay attention to safety.

In Europe, we have a lot of enemies. Because of this exploratory operation, there are also many guys who are jealous of us. If you go out for a tour, you must go together with security personnel.

After two days, we will set Yang Fan out to sea to explore the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean. After the exploration is over, I will set aside time for everyone to enjoy life! "

"Okay, Steven, I will let you know."

Jason responded, then turned around and left the presidential suite~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Next, Ye Tian confessed something to Matisse and David, and these two guys also left one after another and went busy. , And then return to their rooms to rest.

When they all left, Ye Tian first glanced at the Parthenon Temple, which stood close at hand on the top of the Acropolis, and then began to look at the presidential suite he was staying in.

When he admired this exquisite and elegant presidential suite, he also secretly turned on the perspective, and thoroughly looked through the presidential suite without missing any corner.

The upper floors and downstairs rooms of this presidential suite were thoroughly seen by him to prevent anyone from making a fuss, monitoring or conspiring himself.

In fact, Matisse, who was in the front station, has thoroughly investigated this place, and arranged a lot of anti-monitoring and monitoring equipment, as well as monitoring equipment, to keep it tight!

After confirming that there were no safety hazards, Ye Tian finished the fluoroscopy, retracted his sight, and walked into the bedroom.

At this time, the snow outside had stopped, and a hint of white belly appeared on the eastern horizon, and a new day was coming soon!
