Chapter 12: Angel engraved gold necklace
, !
What Ye Tian dug up this time was not the priceless diamond-gold cross, but a gilt-bronze candlestick.
This is still an antique artifact from the Portuguese colony, or Brazil to be precise.
On this gilt bronze candlestick, there are many very delicate patterns and some Portuguese characters engraved on the chisel.
Its artistic style is Baroque, and it is Baroque with strong Portuguese colonial colors.
By those Portuguese inscriptions inscribed on the candlesticks, it is certain.
This gilt-bronze candlestick is one of those rare treasures custom-made by Brazil for the then King of Portugal.
In other words, these gold and silver treasures engraved in Portuguese, from the Portuguese colonies, are from the Portuguese fleet that was sacked by the black baron in history.
This discovery made everyone excited, and many people cheered directly.
"Excellent, Steven, since it is certain that this is the gold and silver treasure that the black baron looted from the Portuguese colonists, then it is basically certain.
The priceless diamond and gold cross is most likely on this seabed, perhaps under your feet."
Professor Paul said excitedly.
Before his words fell, Ye Haiya couldn't wait to continue:
"If the gold and silver treasures that the black baron looted from the Portuguese colonists were all here, wouldn't the value of this pirate treasure be even more amazing!
If nothing else, the value of these more than 40,000 Portuguese Moido gold coins and this diamond-gold cross is enough to make people stunned.”
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and said:
"Indeed, this pirate treasure of the Black Quasi-Baron is most likely the second largest pirate treasure I have found after the Lima treasure.
Its overall value is hard to estimate right now, but I believe it will be amazing, and I am now curious as to how long it took the Black Baron to hide these pirate treasures here? "
With that said, he placed the exquisite gilt bronze candlestick on the seabed.
Then, he looked forward again, ready to continue exploring this area.
At the same time, Professor Kane's voice also came from the earphones.
"Judging from the gold and silver treasures discovered now, I estimate that the black quasi-baron may have spent about a month to hide this batch of pirate treasures. I wonder how he concealed it?"
"It's very simple, kill people and kill their mouths, then dress up as a local fisherman and go out to sea to hide treasures.
According to my estimation, the fishermen who lived near this sea area at that time were all killed by the black baron.
Coupled with the special hydrological and geographical conditions here, there are no ships passing by, so they can work here with confidence.”
Ye Tian said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
But when you think about it, the possibility is very high.
Otherwise, it would be hard for the black quasi-baron to lead people to work here for more than a month to hide this batch of gold and silver treasures.
Thinking of this, everyone shuddered a little.
While speaking, Ye Tian dug out another gold and silver treasure from under the sea sand.
This time it was a Portuguese colonial Baroque gold plate that shone brightly under the lights.
It is a pity that this golden plate was severely twisted and deformed by the stone.
Fortunately, it is made of gold, which has good toughness and ductility, and has not broken.
After getting to the sea, there is still a way to remove it
restored.
Ye Tian looked at the golden plate and threw it on the seabed.
Such gold and silver treasures are no longer interesting to him.
Then, he gently swung his legs, like a big fish, and slowly swam forward.
In the following time, he successively discovered seven or eight pieces of gold and silver treasures.
Among them are all kinds of exquisite and unusual gold products inlaid with various colored gems, rare treasures, and many Moido gold coins.
Like the things discovered before, most of these gold and silver treasures came from the Portuguese colonies, and they were the gold and silver treasures looted by the black baron from the Portuguese fleet.
During this period, Miller, who was exploring not far away, also found several gold and silver treasures.
The origins of those things are more complicated. Some come from Indians, some from British colonies, and some from French colonies. They come from different sources and are of various types.
The most valuable of these is a small gold figurine from the Inca Empire.
What it engraved is an exaggerated Andean condor.
The discovery of this relic of the Inca civilization made Ye Tian feel excited and immediately cheered.
Although he has a lot of antique cultural relics and works of art from Indian civilization, the most antique cultural relics are from Mayan civilization, followed by antique cultural relics from Aztec civilization, and the least from Inca civilization.
Those antique cultural relics of the Inca civilization mainly came from the treasures of Lima, and they were rarely discovered later, so naturally there was no chance to collect them.
Of course, this is also related to his seldom going to South America to explore treasures.
So far, he has only been to South America once, and to Cartagena, Colombia, rather than deep into South America.
In the geographical division of the three major Indian civilizations, Colombia belongs to the category of Mayan civilization, while the Inca civilization is in the hinterland of South America and a little further south.
It seems that it is necessary to go to South America to explore treasures and search for more antiques from the Inca civilization to enrich my Indian history museum, making the museum more comprehensive and rich, and its heritage more profound.
In fact, Ye Tian really has two treasures in South America in his hands, but he just hasn't had time to explore them.
The two treasures, located in Brazil and Argentina, one at sea and one on land, are of incredible value.
In this way, Ye Tian explored the seabed while planning his future exploration.
In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes have passed.
He was cruising close to the bottom of the sea when he suddenly stopped and looked at the bottom of the sea in front of him.
What appeared in front of him was a raised piece of coral, which was lighter in color, and apparently didn't form for too long.
In the middle of this piece of coral, a few tall algae grow sporadically, swaying gently in the sea water.
At first glance, this piece of coral may seem like nothing special.
But its appearance on this seabed means that there may be some valuable gold and silver treasures hidden beneath it.
Something like this has happened several times before.
So everyone was not surprised, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Tian's sudden stop. Instead, they were full of expectations.
However, Ye Tian still explained a few words.
"This coral looks young, doesn't appear to have been formed for very long, and is lighter in color than corals elsewhere.
It is inferred from this that the stones that formed this piece of coral may have been rocks that fell from the top of the mountain due to aftershocks in the later period.
Beneath this piece of coral, there may be other surprises hidden, I hope to discover something.”
With that said, Ye Tian took out his diving knife and started cutting this piece of coral.
In just three or two efforts, he cut off a large piece of coral.
With his movements, what was covered under the coral was finally exposed.
It was a piece of rubble of different sizes, piled up in a mess on the seabed, and had been sleeping on the seabed for one or two hundred years.
Seeing this piece of gravel, everyone immediately understood.
As Ye Tian said, these gravels all rolled down from the mountains, but the exact time of rolling down is hard to say.
While speaking, Ye Tian cut off another piece of coral, and the sea water became muddy.
At this moment, his movements suddenly stopped.
"Gentlemen, I seem to have found something"
Ye Tian pretended to be excited.
Hearing this, everyone was also excited and stared at the video screen.
When the sea became clear again, everyone could see clearly what it was.
I saw Ye Tian was holding the diving knife, and the tip of the diving knife was holding a golden chain, which shone with dazzling golden light.
Everyone could tell at a glance that it was a gold necklace, and it was very thick.
As for what is hanging under the necklace, it is not known for the time being.
The moment they saw this gold necklace, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Paul said excitedly
"Steven, under this gold necklace, is that the priceless diamond-gold cross?
According to legend, the diamond-gold cross was hung by a gold necklace, and the necklace was engraved with many little angels.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.
"Whether this gold necklace is the diamond-gold cross or not, the answer will be revealed soon."
With that said, he moved closer to the bottom of the sea and observed at a closer distance.
The next moment, some portraits of little angels engraved on the necklace appeared in his eyes and appeared on the video screen.
