Thousands of kilometers away in London, a medium-sized conference room in the British Museum.
The curator of the British Museum, as well as many senior members of the museum, are watching the live broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
Without exception, these British guys were very excited, even excited, their eyes shined straight, and at the same time there was a bit of regret in their eyes!
What excited them was Ye Tian, who was talking on TV, and the sensational discovery he brought to the world!
"We know that the first to discover the Rosetta stone was a French captain. In 1799, the French captain named Pier found this stone near the Egyptian city of Rosetta, so he named it Rosetta. Tower stele!
After discovering the Rosetta Stone, Pier realized that the black stone is very important, so he reported to his boss, and then transported the Rosetta Stone to the Egyptian Research Institute established by Napoleon in Cairo for research and analysis by experts and scholars!
In 1801, Napoleon's army was defeated by the British army, which ended his three-year rule in Egypt. The ownership of Egypt changed hands, which also caused disputes over the ownership of many antique cultural relics and works of art discovered in Egypt.
At that time, French scientists hoped to preserve these antiques and wanted to take them away from Alexandria, but the British believed that these antiques were confiscated and belonged to King George III of the United Kingdom.
Among this batch of antiques, the most important is the Rosetta Stone. For this batch of valuable antiques, the French once wrote to the British ambassador, threatening that if the British snatched them, they would destroy this batch of antiques!
After the British occupied Alexandria, they signed the Alexandria Agreement with the French, officially ending the French occupation in Egypt. According to this agreement, the antiques and artifacts discovered by the French during the occupation were transferred to the British army.
However, when the French retreated, they did not hand over the Rosetta Stone in accordance with the agreement. Instead, they tried to use a small boat to smuggle this priceless treasure back to France. Unfortunately, the success failed and was intercepted by the British on the way!
After this incident, the British and French parties reached an agreement that the French could retain the previous research results and the rubbing of the Rosetta Stone. The ownership of the Rosetta Stone was vested in the United Kingdom and was shipped to London soon!
After the Rosetta Stone arrived in the UK, it was donated to the collection of the British Museum in the name of the King of England. Since then, it has been displayed in the Egyptian Pavilion of the British Museum. It is one of the most proud treasures of the British Museum! "
Ye Tian vividly introduced the discovery process of the Rosetta Stone and a series of stories that happened between Britain and France for this priceless treasure!
In fact, everyone at the scene knows these stories, and his remarks are more for people in front of the live broadcast!
People who are watching this live broadcast have different positions because they are in different countries!
The British generally feel a little regretful, but they are helpless!
Why didn't these fragments of Rosetta stone fall into the hands of the guy in England, but fell into the hands of Steven? Want to get those priceless treasures from that guy, I'm afraid it's hard to beat the sky!
The Egyptians were extremely angry, and they gritted their teeth one by one, some guys even yelled at them!
Ye Tian's words reminded them of the humiliating history of becoming a British and French colony, and of the top antique relics and works of art that were stolen by the British and French, including the Rosetta Stone!
As for people from other countries, they are more watching the excitement, and they feel that Ye Tian's luck is so good that it is against the sky. Why is it not himself who found these priceless treasures, and that lucky **** is all cheap?
Whether it is the people in the Harley market or the countless viewers in front of the live broadcaster, at this time, they are very envious of Ye Tian's good luck, and even his jealous eyes are blood red, and I want to replace him!
Especially the people who do business in the Halili market and the people who have been to the Adel antique shop, all regretted their chests, and hated why they had no eyes and missed such an invaluable treasure!
In the antique shop, Ye Tian paused for a while, and then continued his performance!
"It now appears that when the French signed the agreement with the British, they still kept a hand. They hid some fragments of the Rosetta Stone and did not hand them over to the British in accordance with the agreement.
These fragments may have been accidentally smashed down when the stone tablet was discovered, or it may have been dropped from the stone tablet earlier, or it may have been smashed from the stone tablet before the agreement was signed.
After deducting these fragments of the Rosetta stone, in order to conceal people and avoid being discovered by the British, the French forged a black pottery statue of Anubis, the **** of death, and hid these fragments inside the statue!
After the Anubis statue was burned, they transported the statue to Cairo City of the Dead and placed it in front of a tomb to guard the tomb. I guess that the tomb is French or even fake!
It is estimated that the French had such a plan. They waited a few years before coming to Cairo, secretly took out the fragments of the Rosetta stone and smuggled them to France, but I don’t know why, these French never came to Cairo again.
At that time, France was fighting everywhere under the leadership of Napoleon. The situation was very turbulent. The French soldiers who hid the fragments of the Rosetta Stone may have died on other battlefields, so they didn't come to Cairo!
Since then, these fragments of the Rosetta Stone have completely disappeared from people's sight, and have been sleeping in an Anubis statue in the City of the Dead in Cairo until we came to Cairo and found them! "
"Wow! This is really a wonderful story"
There was an exclamation at the scene, as did the streets outside the antique shops and in front of countless live broadcasts.
People were deeply attracted by the story told by Ye Tian, and they were full of emotion!
"Your speculation is reasonable, Steven. To a certain extent, we also want to thank the French for keeping these Rosetta Stone fragments in Egypt instead of handing them over to the British, so as to avoid the loss of these priceless treasures overseas. !"
Ahmed continued, and the other Egyptians nodded in agreement.
The British who were watching this live broadcast rolled their eyes together, but they were helpless. After all, it is not the era of the empire that the sun never sets!
Next, Ye Tian introduced the significance of discovering the Rosetta stone and the historical and cultural value of this famous stone!
The Rosetta Stone is known as the key and key foundation for the interpretation of ancient Egyptian civilization. Its value can be imagined, and it is a priceless treasure!
Although these fragments hidden in the statue of Anubis are not large, the value of each fragment is immeasurable, and they are truly priceless!
After introducing these contents, Ye Tian stopped talking, participated in the research, and discussed with the Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts in a low voice, asking about the meaning of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the stone tablet fragments!
During this period, he prevented the attempts of Egyptian experts, scholars, Ahmed and others to use their mobile phones to take pictures, and also prevented the two live broadcast groups from taking positive pictures of these fragments of stone monuments!
The reason why he did this is simple!
The fragments of these Rosetta steles are now his private property. Every ancient Egyptian hieroglyph carved on them is worth tens of thousands of gold, which is of great historical and cultural research value, so naturally, it should not be disclosed casually!
Only after completing relevant academic research, UU reading www.uukanshu.com or transferring these priceless treasures, can they publish their photos!
These Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts at the scene can appreciate and study on the spot, and remember as much as they can, but they cannot take pictures and keep pictures!
For his decision, all the Egyptians at the scene hated their teeth, but they were helpless. Who would let these priceless treasures not belong to them!
After admiring and studying these Rosetta stone fragments for a while, Ye Tian stood up.
At this moment, Ahmed suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Steven, what do you plan to do with these fragments of the Rosetta Stone? Many people are very concerned about this issue, I want to hear your thoughts!"
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and said:
"Now it is too early to deal with these Rosetta stone fragments. What I am more concerned about is how to safely transport these priceless treasures, you also know the situation outside!"
With that said, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed out the antique shop.
At this time, the street outside the antique shop was completely boiling.
Even the entire Halili market is like a pot, everyone is paying attention to this side, paying attention to the fragments of the Rosetta stone!
