Chapter 2357: Merovingian royal treasure
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
After checking several dazzling gold utensils and valuable antique cultural relics, Ye Tian gave his own identification conclusion.
"It is basically certain that these gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts should be royal treasures from the Merovingian dynasty. Since they are stacked here, they are part of the treasures of the Knights Templar.
As far as the treasures I have just seen, the oldest ones can be traced back to more than one thousand BC, from the Kingdom of Israel and the Assyrian Empire, etc., and the latest ones are from the Merovingian dynasty.
On several antique relics with obvious Merovingian art style, we can see the coat of arms of the Saint Clair family. The Saint Clair family is the Merovingian royal family, which is the best proof.
According to some legends about the Knights Templar, the Knights Templar has always regarded itself as the protector of the descendants of the Saint Clair family. It seems that these long-lived legends are not groundless.
In this regard, it makes sense that the treasures of the St. Clair family appeared here. In a certain period in the Middle Ages, the Knights Templar had obtained these treasures and hidden them here.
Because these treasures came from the St. Clair family and were related to Maria Magdalene, the Knights Templar did not put them together with the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts in the palace outside.
It’s really an unexpected surprise to be able to find the treasures of the Saint Clair family here. Since they are part of the treasures of the Knights Templar and are secular properties, then of course they belong to us"
Having said this, Ye Tian waved his fist vigorously, his face full of excitement.
Walker and Peter, who were standing next to each other, were also very excited and slapped each other to celebrate.
At this time, these two guys have basically returned to normal, but there are still some bloodshot eyes.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, there was an excited cheer in the Sarola church on the ground, coming from the employees and security personnel of the brave bravely exploring the company.
The rest of the people inside and outside the castle of Tomar, as well as the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, were envious and even frantic with jealousy.
How could this kind of good thing fall on that **** Steven's head, and he will never have his turn, God is really unfair!
Next, Ye Tian picked up an antique relic from the Jewish Kingdom and appreciated it.
After appreciating and putting down the treasure, he left here and walked to a marble sculpture a few meters away.
Walker and Peter immediately followed and continued to arrange the wires and install the lighting fixtures.
Seven or eight minutes later, the three of them had arrived on the southeast side of this underground palace, where there was an arch about two meters high, embedded in the granite wall.
Just above the doorway of this arch, there is a horse and other crosses, which are very conspicuous.
When he came here, Ye Tian checked the inside and outside of the arch as usual, and after confirming that there were no traps, he took Walker and Peter into the arch.
Inside the door is a room with an area of about 30 to 40 square meters. It is rectangular. The room is quite simple, not as magnificent as the rotunda outside.
On the wall facing the arch, there are five tombs embedded in the wall lined up, and there are also two tombs on the left and right walls.
In all the nine tombs, there is a sarcophagus. On the wall next to each tomb, a huge horse and other crosses are carved.
In the center of the room is an altar about 1.2 meters high. The altar seems to be engraved with text and various patterns around it, but it is covered by dust and moss, making it unrealistic.
In the center of the marble altar, a sharp crusader knight sword was inserted, deeply inserted into the altar, a bit like a sword in the stone.
Despite the long winds and rains of more than 800 years, the crusader knight sword is still as bright as new, and the light still shines with cold light. It is obviously treated with a special anti-rust process.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that the nine tombs in this room obviously belonged to the nine founders of the Knights Templar.
The sarcophagus placed in the nine tombs contained the corpses or the crowns of the nine founders of the Knights Templar.
Next, the results of Ye Tian's exploration also proved everyone's judgment.
Like the situation outside, there are no deadly traps at the entrance to this room, as well as the altar in and around the center of the room.
After confirming this, Ye Tian commanded Walker and Peter to wipe off the dust and moss on the altar, including the crusade knight sword that shone coldly.
Sure enough, the altar was engraved with Latin, and there were some patterns of religious stories, and patterns of crusades, depicting famous battles.
The crusader knights in the murals all wore the robes of the Templar knights, armed with long swords and fought in the blood, showing a brave, decisive and indomitable momentum.
Obviously, the content of these murals is exactly a series of famous battles that the Knights Templar participated in, and it is very likely that the nine founders of the Knights Templar participated in the famous battles.
Ye Tian stepped forward and looked at the words and patterns engraved on the altar and the crusader knight sword inserted on the altar with interest, before smiling and saying:
"Bishop of Kent, please translate these Latins for everyone. If you don't expect it, these Latins tell the story of the establishment of the Knights Templar and the life deeds of the nine founders of the Knights Templar!"
The voice fell, and the bishop of Kent's voice came from the intercom.
"Yes, Steven, these Latin texts briefly introduce the story of the establishment of the Knights Templar and the lives of the nine founders. Now I will translate these words for you,..."
Next, the bishop of Kent began to translate the Latin words on the altar. Ye Tian listened and admired the frescoes carved on the altar.
Inside and outside the Tomar Castle, and in front of countless live broadcasts, people are also listening, unconsciously fascinated.
With the introduction of the Bishop of Kent, people's understanding of the Knights Templar suddenly deepened a lot, and they knew a lot of things they had never heard of before.
People also know more about the nine founders who founded the Knights Templar and their lives.
Apart from these, Ye Tian didn't find anything special on this altar, such as the hidden compartments.
After exploring the altar, he took Walker and Peter to the wall facing the arch, and began to explore the tombs embedded in the walls and the nine sarcophagi in the tombs.
Here, they saw the tomb and sarcophagus of Hugo de Pain, the tomb and sarcophagus of Godfrey de Saint Omo, and the tombs and sarcophagi of the other founders of the Knights Templar~ www.wuxiaspot.com~Recall that in those days, the nine founders of the Knights Templar were once all-powerful heroes. They were famous in Western history and even synonymous with medieval knights. What a beauty!
But today, more than eight hundred years later, they have long since turned into dead bones, sleeping quietly in sarcophagi, sleeping in the endless darkness, guarding the Holy Grail and guarding this underground world.
While speaking, Ye Tian and the others came to the tomb of a founder of the Knights Templar.
From the Latin written on the outside of the sarcophagus in the tomb, they learned that this was the tomb and sarcophagus of André de Montbad, one of the founders of the Knights Templar.
After the bishop of Kent had finished translating the Latin engraved on the sarcophagus, Ye Tian pretended to be serious and began to look at the tomb and the sarcophagus in it.
After a while, he was looking at the horse and other cross on the right wall of the tomb, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Hey! The other cross keys of this horse look a bit interesting, guys, it seems we have discovered something new again, hope it will be a huge surprise!"
