Chapter 2920: Fragment of Rosetta Stone
Just as people were speculating wildly, the door of Adel's antique shop finally opened, attracting everyone's attention in an instant.
David and Ahmed came out from this antique shop on the street together, and walked to the people waiting at the entrance of the antique shop, preparing to take them into this antique shop!
Many media reporters guarding the streets outside, how could they let this opportunity pass, and started asking questions loudly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ahmed, may I ask, what exactly did Mr. Steven found in this antique shop, which made such a big scene, can you tell us about the situation?"
"Good afternoon, David, I'm a reporter from The New York Times. It is said that Steven found a treasure in a black pottery statue of Anubis, the **** of death? Is it true? What exactly is this treasure?"
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, David first looked at Ahmed, and then said aloud:
"I'm very sorry, friends from the media, in that statue of Anubis made by the French in the early nineteenth century, what exactly Steven discovered in that statue of Anubis made by the French in the early 19th century, no one knows now!
In order to keep it strictly confidential, Steven did not tell us what the things he found were. He covered everything with a tapestry, but that’s okay, the answer will be revealed soon!
I believe everyone has seen it. There are two live TV teams here. Later they will enter this antique shop and broadcast live. Everyone will know the answer by paying attention to the live broadcast! "
After speaking, David walked to the US ambassador to Egypt, shook hands with each other, and introduced each other!
On the other side, Ahmed was introducing the situation to the Egyptian presidential palace and several other senior government officials, with a very excited expression!
A brief introduction to the situation, David and Ahmed took these people into the antique shop, and two live TV groups!
Due to the limited area of the antique shop, it can't accommodate too many people, and the rest can only stand on the street outside and wait patiently for the results!
In the antique shop, Ye Tian had completed the demolition work, and was standing on the floor at this time, his face flushed with excitement.
As for the statue of Anubis, the **** of death, made by the French, it has long been torn apart, with large and small black pottery fragments covering the ground, unrecovered.
All the things hidden in this black pottery statue have been taken out by him and placed on the floor next to them, covered with a beautiful Arabian tapestry!
When David and the others led the American ambassador and the others in, Ye Tian just glanced at the door, but his feet did not move at all. They were firmly stuck on the floor like a nail!
While talking, David and the American ambassador and others have come to the front.
Seeing the fragments of black pottery statues spread all over the floor, and the Arab tapestry that was obviously covered with things, those newcomers were very surprised and full of curiosity!
They didn't expect it to be such a scene, it was the scene of a car accident!
Until then, Ye Tian turned his head to look at these guys, shook hands with these guys one by one, and introduced them to each other!
After going through the procedures on these scenes, the U.S. ambassador to Egypt asked impatiently:
"Steven, what did you find in this antique shop? To make such a big scene, when David called me just now, he said that your discovery here will make a sensation throughout Egypt and even the whole world! I really want to know what this discovery is!"
Following the words of the American ambassador, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian and the Arab carpet on the floor!
Ye Tian smiled softly, glanced at the crowd, then bent over to grab a corner of the Arabian tapestry, lifted the tapestry straight, and said excitedly:
"Gentlemen, witness the miracle! In this statue of Anubis, the **** of death, made by the French in the early nineteenth century, I found the famous Rosetta Stone!
To be precise, it should be the upper part of the Rosetta Stone. Unfortunately, this part of the Rosetta Stone was broken into pieces of varying sizes! "
Following Ye Tian's movements, the Arabian tapestry flew to the side.
Pieces of black stones with different shapes appeared in front of everyone. All the stones were engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and they were unconventional and beautiful sacred scriptures!
Ye Tian's introduction was like a thunderbolt on the blue sky, which directly dazzled everyone on the scene and froze in place!
At the next moment, there were bursts of disheartened murmurs on the scene.
"I heard that right? The Rosetta Stone, isn't that priceless treasure in the British Museum, but also the treasure of the British Museum! How could it appear here? How could it be hidden in the statue of Anubis, the **** of death ?"
"God! If these black stones are really the upper part of the Rosetta Stone, then there is no doubt that they are priceless treasures, and even the most important treasures of Egypt. This great discovery will surely make a sensation in the world!"
In the muttering voice, someone finally awoke.
Immediately afterwards, several newly arrived Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts rushed straight to the blue-black stones placed on the floor, all looking crazy!
They each picked a fragment of the Rosetta stone, carefully wiped off the dust on the stone, studied fascinatingly, and instantly entered a state of selflessness!
In just a few moments, an ancient writing expert from the National Museum of Egypt said excitedly:
"Yes, these blue-black stones are indeed fragments of the Rosetta stele. The fragment in my hand records the life experience of Ptolemy V in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. This discovery is really too important to be called. Earth-shattering!"
Before the words were over, the antique shop was boiling over.
"God! It's really a fragment of the Rosetta Stone, it's incredible!"
"I didn't expect that part of the Rosetta Stone would still remain in Egypt instead of falling into the hands of the British or French. This is simply a miracle!"
As everyone exclaimed, several other archaeologists and ancient writing experts also spoke out one after another, proving that the blue and black stones in their hands were all fragments of the Rosetta stele!
Following their introduction, there was a burst of exclamation after another, and everyone was so excited that they were crazy!
Looking at these crazy guys, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh, looking triumphant.
After a while, he stretched out his hands and gently pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.
Seeing his actions, everyone stopped cheering, but everyone was still excited and their faces flushed!
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then smiled and said loudly:
"As everyone knows, the Rosetta Stone was made in 196 BC, and it is engraved with the edict of the enthronement of the ancient Egyptian King Ptolemy V. It is an extremely famous and priceless treasure!
The Ptolemaic dynasty was built by the Greeks, so the stone tablets were carved with the same content in Greek, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and popular scripts at the time, using the holy script!
This allows archaeologists to interpret the meaning and structure of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that have long been lost by comparing the contents of various language versions, and then decipher the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs!
The discovery of the Rosetta Stone has become an important milestone in the study of ancient Egyptian history and civilization. From this, modern talents realize how brilliant and splendid the ancient Egyptian civilization is!
It can be said that it is through studying the characters carved on the Rosetta stone that modern talents can push the door of ancient Egyptian civilization and truly understand the splendid ancient Egyptian civilization!
In this regard, the value of the Rosetta Stone is inestimable. Only in terms of cultural value, the value of the Rosetta Stone even far exceeds that of the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun! "
Before he could say anything, the ancient writing expert from the National Museum of Egypt continued to say:
"Yes, Steven, from the perspective of studying ancient Egyptian civilization, the value of the Rosetta Stone is indeed higher than that of Tutankhamun's golden mask. It can be said to be unparalleled!
But what puzzles me is, why is the fragment of the Rosetta stone hidden in this black pottery statue of Anubis? Wasn't it robbed by the British as a trophy? "
Not only this ancient writing expert, the others at the scene were also at a loss for this question!
Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:
"Obviously, the defeated French counted the British. This is another story!"
