Chapter 2695: What a lofty ambition
"Treasure Hunt ( to find the latest chapters!
Just like the situation at the door, there are no traps in this secret room deep underground, which is very safe.
After entering this secret room, everyone only saw the situation here.
The area of this secret room is not large, only about thirty or forty square meters, square and square, like an ordinary room, except that it was built in ancient Rome more than two thousand years ago and is located deep underground.
In addition to the statue of the ‘first three-headed alliance’ facing the door of the secret room, a little bit behind the bust of Caesar, there is also a stone platform about fifty or sixty centimeters high, on which a rectangular box is placed.
The two boxes were covered with dust, and no one knew what was in them.
Of course, Ye Tian is not included here.
He has already seen clearly the situation in this secret room and the things hidden here through perspective, and he knows the value of these antique cultural relics even more!
In addition, behind the bust of Caesar, close to the wall behind, there are also several large or small boxes, and two statues more than one meter high.
What is in those boxes and who the figures are carved by the two statues are unknown for the time being. You can only get the answer if you come closer, wipe off the dust attached to them, and check and study carefully!
Along the walls around this secret room, there are several stone benches, bronze candlesticks placed in several niches, in front of the wall on the right side of the stone door, and an ancient stone bed.
It can be seen that in BC, this place was once used as a refuge room to avoid danger, and it was also a hidden treasure room!
By extension, there should have been ventilation ducts and secret roads leading to other nearby buildings or the wild, so that people hiding in this secret room can breathe smoothly and escape here!
However, these ventilation ducts and secret passages have long been completely sealed off, unable to communicate with the outside world, so a lot of dirty air has accumulated here.
After entering this ancient secret room, Ye Tian first glanced at the situation in the secret room quickly, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, according to my observation, this underground chamber built by Gaius Mallor is now only the passage behind us. The original ventilation ducts and secret passages leading to other places have been sealed.
Because of this, the air here cannot circulate, and a large amount of dirty air has accumulated. The many antique cultural relics hidden here have successfully avoided oxidation and have been preserved almost perfectly.
In particular, the bronze bust of the first three-headed alliance can be said to be the best-preserved ancient Roman statue found so far, and the wooden boxes in the secret room can avoid decay and have been preserved to this day.
From an archaeological point of view, this situation couldn't be better, but as we discovered and opened up this passage behind us, the antique cultural relics hidden here will inevitably undergo some oxidation reactions.
This degree of oxidation reaction is acceptable. When we pick up these antique relics from ancient Rome, we can show their perfect side and let them regain their light after a little processing! "
While saying these words, Ye Tian was also pretending to look carefully at the ground and lead everyone forward.
Hearing his words, the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni who followed them nodded their heads, and they did not disagree.
While speaking, Ye Tian had already arrived in front of the statue of the'First Three Heads Alliance', and he immediately stopped and admired the three ancient Roman busts again.
Following his actions, everyone else stopped, or admired the statues of these three ancient Roman giants, or looked at the situation in this secret room, and everyone's eyes beamed with excitement.
"Wow! This is really an amazing treasure. There is no doubt that the emergence of this ancient Roman treasure will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"Who would have thought! Deep underground in the center of Rome, there is such an ancient treasure buried deep, and this treasure has a very close relationship with Caesar the Great, it is incredible!"
Just as everyone was amazed and sighed, Ye Tian stepped out again and walked straight into the triangle formed by the statues of the three ancient Roman giants Caesar, Pompey, and Crasu.
But the Bishop of Kent and David, who followed behind, all stopped and stared at Ye Tian's back to see what actions he would do!
Within a few steps, Ye Tian came to the bust of Caesar the Great and stopped about half a meter away from the stone platform.
He stared at the bust of Caesar in front of him, then looked at the stone platform under the statue, and then took out a brand-new white towel and began to wipe the dust and moss attached to the statue.
Following his movements, this bust of Caesar the Great, which had been hidden deep underground for more than two thousand years, finally revealed its true face again and appeared in front of everyone.
This is an ancient bronze statue in a very good state of preservation. There is only a thin layer of green patina on the surface. Instead of damaging the statue, it adds a bit of history to this statue.
The reason for this situation is that this statue has been hidden deep underground for a long time, completely isolated from the outside air, and the airtightness here is very good, there is almost no water seepage, and it is relatively dry.
Such an environment is undoubtedly very conducive to the preservation of antiques and cultural relics, and can preserve some ancient antiques as complete as possible.
A similar situation also happened in those famous ancient Egyptian pyramids.
It is precisely because of being deeply buried in the ground and completely isolated from the outside air, coupled with the dry climate, the coffins and mummies of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs can be preserved for thousands of years without decay!
The bronze statue of Caesar the Great in front of me is based on the shape of Caesar's chest above the chest, connected with the square base underneath, and is about sixty or seventy centimeters high. It is placed on a marble platform.
The image of Caesar portrayed by him is wearing an ancient Roman plate armor and a cloak over his shoulders. Behind him, his face is firm, his eyes are deep and courageous, and he stares straight ahead, naturally revealing the kingly spirit of whoever I am. ! !
This is exactly the image of Caesar in his prime of life, when he led the Roman army to cross the world and fight everywhere, and it is probably his image when he entered into an alliance with Pompey and Crassus to form the first three alliances.
Looking at this ancient Roman statue from more than two thousand years ago, facing the most prestigious statue in Western history, and even the greatest strategist and politician in Western history, everyone can't help but feel shocked. Endless!
The scene fell silent, and there was only a burst of rapid or gentle breathing, and there was no other sound.
After a while, Ye Tian took the lead to wake up, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, the statue of Caesar the Great in front of you should be the earliest and most perfect statue of Caesar ever discovered. It is more than ten or twenty years earlier than the bust of Caesar discovered in France.
According to my judgment, the creation time of this statue should be around 60 BC when Caesar, Pompey, and Crassou made a covenant together to form the first three-head alliance.
If my judgment is correct, then I can say with certainty that among all the statues of Caesar that have been discovered, and even all the statues of ancient Rome, this bust of Caesar is the most valuable"
Before the words were over, there was a burst of exclamation on UU reading www.uukanshu.com.
"Yes, Steven, this is definitely the best-preserved and best-sculpted statue of Caesar I have ever seen. Standing in front of this statue, I feel as if I have traveled through time and space, facing Emperor Caesar!"
"Wow! Looking at this bronze statue of Caesar the Great and the statues of Pompey and Crassou, I can even think of a scene where the famous three-headed alliance in history is sitting together and discussing the alliance.
‘Any measure taken by Rome must not violate the will of one of the three of us’. What a lofty ambition! It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to participate in this exploration operation and discover this statue of Emperor Caesar! "
Before everyone's exclamation and emotions fell, Antonio couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, if your identification is accurate, this statue of Caesar was indeed created in 60 BC when the first three alliances made the covenant, then this is definitely the earliest statue of Caesar that has been discovered.
More importantly, the time when this bronze statue of Caesar was created is very clear and the timing is special. It has witnessed the formation of the famous ‘first three-headed alliance’ in history, which can be said to be unique!
As you said, if these can be determined, then there is no doubt that this bronze statue of Caesar the Great is definitely the most valuable of all ancient Roman statues that have been found, and its value is immeasurable! "
Ye Tian looked at this old friend who was so excited that he was almost crazy, then smiled and said:
"I am full of confidence in my eyesight and judgment. I am confident that it is impossible to misunderstand. And I believe that we will soon find evidence to prove these inferences and thoroughly understand the origin of the three statues in front of me!"
