Chapter 2862: Fast action
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was getting bright, Ye Tian and the others got up, ready to set off to St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai to explore the world's most famous monastery.
The reason why I set off so early was because the daytime in Sinai Peninsula was too hot.
With the scorching sun on your head, it is not a pleasant thing to explore the treasures under the deserted Sinai under the heat of more than 40 degrees.
Another point is that St. Catherine’s Monastery is only open to the three-party joint exploration team for half a day, and everyone can only enter the monastery during this half day and explore in the monastery.
As for the remaining half day, it belongs to those who come to Mount Sinai for pilgrimage, as well as tourists from all over the world.
People who come to Mount Sinai for pilgrimage often start to climb Mount Sinai at about 3 in the morning, go to worship the sunrise, imitate the saint Moses, and temper their physique and will.
Tourists from all over the world will also start climbing at around 3 in the morning. Their purpose is to enjoy the spectacular sunrise of Mount Sinai, which is the most famous natural landscape of Mount Sinai!
After watching the sunrise and visiting the top of the mountain for a while, people will go down the mountain along two roads of very different difficulty, and wait until they reach the foot of the mountain, and then go to the famous St. Catherine’s Monastery for a pilgrimage or visit.
After visiting the Monastery of St. Catherine, this trip to Mount Sinai is considered complete, and then you can leave the Sinai Peninsula!
When Ye Tian and the others got up, most of the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company had set off. Under the protection of some armed security personnel, they went to Mount Sinai to watch the sunrise!
These guys also took some exploration equipment and supplies. After enjoying the beautiful sunrise of Mount Sinai, they will stay at the top of Mount Sinai, waiting for Ye Tian and others to go up the mountain.
Due to the relatively high altitude of Mount Sinai, about 2300 meters high, it is very cold on the top of the mountain at night, and thick clothes need to be worn to keep out the cold. The temperature during the day is just right and suitable for exploration.
Moreover, there are shops and hotels on the top of the mountain, which can be used to rest or shelter from wind and rain.
Within a short time, Ye Tian and the others packed up, and then left their respective rooms and walked to the elevator.
Soon, their party had arrived on the first floor of the hotel.
As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, Ye Tian saw the other two parties of the tripartite joint exploration team, the Bishop of Kent and Joshua, as well as representatives from Egypt, and several religious figures.
They have all arrived in the hotel lobby, ready to go.
After everyone met, it was naturally a polite greeting and greetings to each other.
Immediately afterwards, Joshua asked curiously:
"Steven, we received the news last night that you have gained a lot from several antique shops in this small town. Some people even said that you ransacked those antique shops like crazy!
In those antique shops, you have found those valuable antique cultural relics and works of art. Can you tell us about it? I believe everyone here is very interested! "
Following Joshua's remarks, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone was curious, and their eyes were full of envy.
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"There is nothing to say. In fact, I did not expect that in such a small town on the Sinai Peninsula, there are such a few antique shops, and each antique shop has its own characteristics, and they are all very good!
Perhaps because it has a very long history, and at the foot of Mount Sinai, the holy place of three religions, many pilgrims and tourists from all over the world visit each year, so it has accumulated a lot of antique cultural relics and artworks!
In those antique shops, I found a few pieces of Chinese blue and white porcelain, but the value is relatively average, and there are three Chinese ink landscape paintings, two of which are masterpieces and are also top art works of great value.
I also found two oil paintings. One is a work by Rossetti, a famous painter from the Pre-Raphaelite School, and the other is a work by Vermeer, a famous painter in Baroque art. Both paintings are very valuable!
In addition, I also discovered two antique relics from the ancient Egyptian period, and one from the Kingdom of New Babylon. They all have high historical and cultural research value and are considered top antique relics."
Before the words were over, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene!
"Wow! So many valuable top antique cultural relics and artworks are hidden in this desolate town, hidden in those humble antique shops, who can even think of it!"
"Oh my god! This is incredible, Steven, it seems that the rumors are not wrong at all, you guys will ransack the local antique art market wherever you go!"
While marveling, everyone looked at Ye Tian's eyes hotter, and everyone was full of envy.
The Egyptian Deputy Minister of Culture and several other Egyptians who were also on the scene were almost crazy with jealousy, and their eyes turned red in an instant!
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly said:
"Since we were on the journey of exploring Solomon's treasures and the Ark of the Covenant, it was inconvenient to bring those valuable antiques and artworks, so I let my men take them to Tel Aviv overnight!
After arriving in Tel Aviv, they will use my private jet to transport those antique cultural relics and artworks to Beijing. If you want to see those antique cultural relics and artworks in the future, you can only go to my private museum!
Those antique cultural relics and works of art are all obtained through legal transactions. There are formal trading contracts and related video materials. There is no problem. I don't want anyone to make a fuss about this!
As for the issue of tax payment, the owners of those antique shops will pay taxes based on the transaction amount. This is reflected in the antique art transaction contract I signed with them, and it has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, Ye Tian looked at the Egyptian Deputy Minister of Culture and several other Egyptians. These words were meant for these Egyptians!
Looking at the Egyptians, they were all stunned. Everyone had anger in their eyes, but they were also a little helpless!
The rest of the people at the scene were the same, all of them froze for a moment.
When they woke up, they all secretly gave a thumbs up for Ye Tian's operation and praised them!
Everyone is very clear about Egypt's cultural relics protection policy. Even if it is legally traded antique cultural relics and works of art, it will be very difficult to bring them out of Egypt!
Now, taking advantage of the Egyptians begging for themselves~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ye Tian transports the antique cultural relics and works of art obtained through legal transactions overnight, the Egyptians can only accept this reality and will not tear it apart Shameless!
As Ye Tian expected, the Deputy Minister of Culture of Egypt was silent for a moment, then forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said helplessly:
"Steven, you guys are so fast. It seems that if we want to appreciate the top antique cultural relics and works of art, we can only go to your private museum in Beijing. I will definitely go if I have the opportunity in the future! "
"Then I am very welcome, Mr. Minister, if I am in Beijing then, I will personally take you to visit my private museum!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, with a few polite words.
Then we talked a few more words, and when everyone was there, we all walked to the hotel entrance together.
At this time, the vehicles of the tripartite joint exploration team have arrived at the door of the hotel.
When Ye Tian and the others got out of the hotel and boarded the cars, the convoy drove away, bathed in the morning light, and drove straight to the St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai!
