Chapter 2786: Valuable historical documents
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
Following Bellini's "Prometheus Stealing Fire", in this wooden box, Ye Tian and the others found a tempera painting by the famous painter Messina in the early Renaissance.
This is also a very valuable top art piece, but it is a pity that the content it depicts is derived from biblical stories, with a strong religious color, and is not among the artworks that Ye Tian intends to collect.
Like Leonardo da Vinci's third "The Madonna of the Rocks", he intends to sell this tempera painting on-site in Italy and turn it into real wealth!
As for who can win this top art piece, he doesn't care, as long as he can make a fortune!
Not surprisingly, the appearance of this tempera painting once again caused a commotion on the scene and in front of countless live broadcasts, and it also made people exclaimed!
After showing the painting in public and explaining it a bit, Ye Tian put it in a painting bag and handed it over to his company employees to take care of it.
Later, he was ready to take out the fourth painting in this box to see which master artist's work it was.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the scene.
"Steven, you'd better come over and take a look. We found a box of historical documents. On the top of the box, it seems to be a few sheepskin manuscripts. It looks like a few design drawings. Maybe it's Leonardo da Vinci. The baby left behind!"
It was Derek who reported the news to Ye Tian. The team he led was on the side of the platform and was clearing the boxes placed on the platform.
Following his remarks, the scene and countless live broadcasts immediately fryed the pan, and many people cried out in exclamation!
"Wow! The manuscript left by Leonardo da Vinci must be invaluable!"
"Gosh! How many treasures are hidden in this underground palace? It's incredible!"
Just as people exclaimed, Ye Tian already put down the fourth oil painting he just picked up, immediately jumped off the platform, turned and walked towards Derek and the others.
David and the Bishop of Kent, as well as representatives of various parties and several experts and scholars, all followed, and everyone was very excited!
Within a few steps, Ye Tian had arrived at Derek's place.
On the ground in front of them, there is a wooden box with a mottled appearance. The lock on the box has been cut off, but the lid of the box has not been opened, it is still covered.
Seeing Ye Tian coming, Derek immediately began to introduce the scene with joy.
"Steven, when we first cleared this box, we found that the box was relatively light, and we suspected that it might contain oil painting art, historical documents, etc.
After opening the box, I saw two layers of black damp-proof tarpaulin, covering the contents, or rather, wrapping the contents to prevent those things from getting damp.
However, the thing under the moisture-proof tarpaulin should not look like an oil painting from the outline, and now that the lighting conditions are right, I carefully uncovered the tarpaulin.
Then I saw a large number of historical documents, some bound into a book, some in a sheepskin bag, and a few sheepskin manuscripts on the top, like a design drawing of something!
Out of the consideration of protecting these historical documents, I didn't read the manuscripts carefully, so I covered this box, and then I notified you to come over and check the details."
After listening to the announcement, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Good job, Derek, let me take a look at what you have discovered. Hopefully, as you said, these historical documents are Da Vinci's manuscripts, that's great!"
While speaking, Ye Tian had already arrived next to this wooden box.
He first checked the condition of the box, and after confirming that there was no problem, he gently opened the upper cover of the box, and only opened one-third of it, and then looked inside.
As Derek said, this box contains a large amount of historical documents and is wrapped with two layers of black moisture-proof tarpaulin to prevent these historical documents from getting wet.
At this time, the two outermost moisture-proof tarpaulins had been uncovered by Derek, revealing the contents wrapped inside.
These historical documents from more than 500 years ago have been yellowed and become very fragile, but fortunately they are well preserved and have high historical and cultural research value.
At the top of these historical documents are a few scattered manuscripts in sheepskin. The words and patterns on them are a little fuzzy, but they are still recognizable!
Ye Tian looked at these sheepskin manuscripts, then asked Derek to hold the lid of the box, put on a new pair of white gloves, reached into the box, and carefully took out the sheepskin manuscripts.
Afterwards, he stood beside the box and began to admire these sheepskin manuscripts.
On these sheepskin manuscripts, some mechanical device design sketches are drawn, there are many matching data and Italian text descriptions, which seem to be very detailed!
It's a pity that Ye Tian didn't know Italian, so naturally he didn't know the meaning of these words!
But he knew the design drawings of these mechanical devices, and he was very familiar with it!
When entering this underground space before, at the stone gate where the portrait of Francesco Sforza was carved, he saw through the mechanical devices drawn on these design sketches.
Some of those mechanical devices are hidden behind the stone gate, some are hidden in the walls on both sides of the stone gate, some are hidden under the floor, and so on.
More importantly, these mechanical devices do not exist in isolation, but a set of interlinked systems that move the whole body in one move, and the design is very delicate!
That's right, the design sketches of these mechanical devices are the drawings of the stone gate and all the traps around it. The structure and operating principles of those traps are clearly drawn on it!
Undoubtedly, these sheepskin manuscripts are all works of Leonardo da Vinci. They are not only the drawings of those organ traps, but also valuable antique relics, which can be called works of art!
Although Ye Tian could see the origins of these sheepskin manuscripts at a glance, he couldn't tell them. He had to look carefully at them pretendingly, and give them a good performance!
After a while, he said excitedly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, these sheepskin manuscripts should be the works of Leonardo da Vinci. Specifically, they should be drawings of organ traps designed by him. They are very delicate!
If I read correctly, the mechanical devices drawn on the drawings should be the mechanisms that control the stone gate at the bottom of the spiral staircase and the corresponding traps.
With these few original design drawings, we can dismantle all the traps at the Shimen and remove the hidden safety hazards, so the latecomers don't have to worry about it! "
With that said, Ye Tian picked up these drawings and showed them in front of everyone and in front of the camera lens.
In the next moment, the bishop of Kent, who was standing at the forefront, said excitedly:
"You are right, Steven, the mechanical devices drawn on these sheepskin manuscripts are the devices that control the stone gate and all the traps nearby. These design sketches have text explanations below!
From this it can be determined that these sheepskin manuscripts are indeed by Leonardo da Vinci. The design sketches and these data and texts above were all drawn and written by him himself. There is no doubt about this! "
Following the words of the Bishop of Kent, a burst of exclamation immediately sounded at the scene and in front of numerous live broadcasts.
Before the exclamation fell, someone at the scene couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, can you let us take a look at these sheepskin manuscripts? The manuscripts were written by Leonardo da Vinci and are so well-preserved. You have never seen them a few times!"
Ye Tian shook his head slightly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then said with a smile:
"I'm very sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I can't let you appreciate these sheepskin manuscripts. The rest of the historical documents in this box are the same. I hope you can understand!
These historical documents from more than 500 years ago are now quite fragile and need to be carefully protected. When everyone reads and appreciates each other, it would be a shame if they were accidentally damaged by accident!
Another point is that the content recorded in these historical documents has great historical and cultural research value, and even high scientific research value. In order to ensure the interests of our company, it is not appropriate to make it public now!
Only after we have completed the clean-up work and completed the preliminary research, will some of the literature and materials be released. Of course, I may sell some of the literature and materials, but this is all for the future! "
Upon hearing this, the representatives of the various parties, experts and scholars at the scene all rolled their eyes and complained to themselves one by one!
This **** **** is so cunning and greedy!
