Chapter 2148: Priceless treasure

In the new museum of Berlin, Ye Tian is still explaining. The object of the explanation is still the treasure of the museum in Berlin, the colorful bust of Queen Nefertiti of Egypt.

"This colorful bust is 47 centimeters tall and weighs about 20 kilograms. It does not use any organic materials. Although it has a long history of more than 3,300 years, it is well preserved with minimal damage.

The performance of Nefertiti's statue is extremely realistic and looks no different from a real person. Its noble and elegant shape, exquisite and beautiful facial features, can be called glamorous, and deserve to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The pupil of the right eye of the statue is inlaid with black natural crystal, the white of the eye is chalky rock, and the eye socket is sealed with beeswax. The whole statue is composed of six colors of gray, yellow, green, black, white and skin tone.

After discovering the statue, Bohart, an Egyptian archaeologist in Germany, wrote in his diary that ‘the color application of this statue is very advanced, it is beyond description, and all the words are superfluous’.

He also described, ‘When this colorful statue was dug out, I had the most vivid artwork in Egypt. It was almost intact, except that the ear was touched a bit, and the left eye was somewhat missing’"

Before the words were over, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.

"Wow! This sculpture is so beautiful, it's fascinating."

"No wonder the bust of Nefertiti can become the first cover girl in history. Her facial contours and curves are like a top supermodel. No, she is more beautiful than all supermodels!"

In a sound of exclamation, several senior Berlin museum officials and antique art appraisal experts who accompanied Ye Tian and the others on the tour couldn't help nodding their heads and admiring them secretly.

Steven, the bastard, is really omniscient and omnipotent. For the statue of Nefertiti, he also knows so thoroughly that I have to admire it.

After a short pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.

"Let's take a look at the life of Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen. As one of the most important, powerful and status queens in ancient Egyptian history, Nefertiti's life is extremely legendary.

Nefertiti’s background is full of mystery. It is believed that she may be Princess Mitanni Taduheba, who was originally betrothed to Amenophis III, but later married his son.

Another school of theory believes that Nefertiti was the daughter of Amonofius III. In this way, Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti became half-brothers of the same father, but this claim is credible. The degree is not high.

There is also a theory that Nefertiti's father was a high-ranking official in the court of Amenophis III and later became Akhenaten's confidant. In short, Nefertiti was born in the highest level of ancient Egypt.

After Nefertiti married the pharaoh Akhenaten, he assisted her husband in launching an unprecedented reform. They created the Sun Religion and advocated weakening the power of the high priests, and moved the capital to Amana.

They built a dazzling and prosperous capital in the center of the barren desert of Egypt. It was actually a revolutionary base surrounded by cliffs on three sides and facing the Nile River to counter the powerful priests.

In the new capital of Amana, Nefertiti and Akhenaten were on the same level. She was not only the queen of Pharaoh Akhenaten, but also as a ruler of equal status, co-regent and ruled Egypt.

On some of the existing ancient Egyptian murals, we can still see that Nefertiti and Akhenaten each drove a chariot and raced side by side. This has never appeared before Nefertiti.

It was also after Nefertiti that ancient Egyptian women had more freedom and rights. They were valued as much as men, enjoyed the right to a good education, and had the right to inherit property.

Egyptian women can sue for unfair things. They have their own thoughts and brains and insist on their own ideas. These rights were not available to women until the 20th century."

"It seems that this is an original feminist, and it is indeed worth remembering"

David joked and said, the rest of the scene also smiled and nodded.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, then continued:

"Nefertiti is not only a feminist, some people even think that she is better than Akhenaten because she has the right to execute the enemy, and this punishment has been the right of the Egyptian pharaoh since ancient times.

According to legend, after the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti took over the throne of Egypt. Because of the original reforms, they made too many enemies, and Nefertiti could only bear the final price alone.

Just when the country was on the verge of collapse, Nefertiti stepped forward and took a series of emergency measures, at the expense of everything to save the defeat, but the credibility of this legend is not very high,..."

While explaining, Ye Tian also opened the perspective, and secretly saw through the colorful sculpture in front of him.

It is a pity that apart from Nefertiti's stunning beauty, he has not discovered any hidden secrets.

This colorful sculpture is not a mummy, but just a sculpture. There are no uninterpreted mysterious characters on it, and no hidden compartments inside.

As the treasure of the Berlin Museum, this sculpture has been studied extremely thoroughly. Even if there is a secret, it has already been discovered and interpreted. How can it be left today!

While speaking, five or six minutes passed, and Ye Tian's explanation gradually came to an end.

"During her reign, Nefertiti was the most influential woman in Egypt. She was revered by the Egyptian people like a goddess, and ruled Egypt with her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten.

She is the queen with the most appearances in temples and monuments in the history of Egypt. She is likely to occupy the position of high priest, which is traditionally only held by the Egyptian pharaoh.

However, we know almost nothing about the life of this beautiful Egyptian queen. Nefertiti suddenly disappeared from history around 1336 BC.

Regarding the whereabouts of Nefertiti, there are many stories in history. Some said she was deposed, and some said that she and Akhenaten were overthrown by the people, because the Egyptian people regarded the Sun Sect as a heresy.

The latter statement has relatively high credibility. After Tutankhamun succeeded to the throne, anything that can evoke the memories of Akhenaten and Nefertiti has been systematically obliterated, leaving little.

To this day, none of Nefertiti’s funeral items have been found in Akhenaten’s mausoleum, which shows that Nefertiti has never been buried there, and the queen’s official death record cannot be tested.

In the Tomb No. 35 of the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, archaeologists once found a mummy that was severely damaged, and its face was completely destroyed. This mummy was thought to be Nefertiti.

This kind of vandalism was an extremely vicious curse in the "Book of Death" in ancient Egypt. Her face was damaged, so that she could not say her name to God and thus entered the afterlife.

Her shroud was also torn, and it was originally written with the name of the deceased, so that the undead could recognize his body. In this way, the soul would not be able to return, and the deceased would be tortured between life and death.

Nefertiti’s name and many stories have disappeared from the historical records inexplicably. In many ancient Egyptian murals, her face has been artificially scuttled. Only some ancient temples and palace ruins have little clues."

"Hey--!"

A sigh sounded at the scene, and everyone was sighing for Nefertiti's fate.

The fate of such a beautiful queen with a peerless appearance is so tragic after death, it is indeed a bit too bleak and embarrassing!

Ye Tian's voice did not stop in the slightest, and it continued to be heard, reaching the ears of everyone on the scene.

"In 1912, German archaeologist Bohart discovered this beautiful colorful sculpture under the ruins of an ancient building in Amana, Egypt. Once it was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

In the second year, Bohart shipped the colorful Nefertiti sculpture to Germany. After several rounds, this priceless treasure came to the Berlin Museum and became the treasure of the Berlin Museum.

This beautiful sculpture is not only the treasure of the Berlin Museum, but also the most beautiful among all the antique artworks in major museums in Germany, and it is also the treasure with the most artistic and research value.

There are still many controversies surrounding this priceless treasure. From the time this colorful statue was first publicly displayed in the Berlin Museum in 1924, Egypt has put forward its claims and has always persisted.

However, Germany has always refused to return this extremely beautiful statue. Hitler once said, ‘Germany will never return Nefertiti’s head. This is a work of art, a treasure, a real treasure’..."

Hearing this, an embarrassment flashed across the faces of many Germans at the scene, somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ an employee of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company suddenly asked:

"Steven, can you talk about the value of Nefertiti's bust? That must be an incredible price, right?"

Ye Tian turned to look at the company employee, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Yes, it is indeed a jaw-dropping price. As I said earlier, this colorful sculpture is the most beautiful and valuable treasure among all the antique works of art in Germany.

The value of such a treasure cannot be measured by money at all. If you have to give a valuation, then this priceless treasure is worth at least 600 million US dollars, and there is no ceiling! "

Before the words were over, the pan was immediately fried at the scene, and the exclamation sounded.

"God! I heard that right? It's worth at least six hundred million dollars, which is too exaggerated!"

"Wow! Six hundred million dollars, worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the world, and the most beautiful!"
