Happy Tycoon
Chapter 393 Good thing, take it!
This, is this glass? Yang Jing looked at the box full of crystals that reflected light yellow-green light under the light, and after a long time of identification, he said to himself uncertainly.
Looking at the glass-like crystal with obvious small black spots and dark stripes inside his hand, and the wavy continuous finger prints on the surface, Yang Jing finally remembered a report he had seen a long time ago. This is the introduction to the Libyan gold tektite.
To say that the discovery of the Libyan gold tektite is directly related to a famous tomb in the world. This tomb is the tomb of Tutankhamun, the twelfth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt.
Tutankhamun is best known to modern Westerners because his tomb remained unstolen for three thousand years until it was discovered in 1922 by British explorer Howard Carter with the support of Count Karna von , and unearthed a large number of treasures, which shocked the Western world.
Especially at the mouth of Tutankhamun's tomb is engraved with mysterious incantations. Coincidentally, the first few people who entered the tomb all died early due to various reasons, which was exaggerated by the media at the time as the curse of the pharaoh, making Tutankhamun Meng's name is more widely known in the West. After Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated, his life and cause of death have been the focus of debate in the archaeological community, but so far have not been conclusive. Today, most of Tutankhamun's funerary objects are displayed in the Cairo Museum in Egypt.
There are countless treasures in Tutankhamun's tomb, and one of them is particularly peculiar, that is, a jewel ornament of Tutankhamun. Archaeologists studying King Tutankhamun's tomb have been baffled by the beetle carvings in the young pharaoh's jewellery. Researchers knew the scarab carving was made of glass, but had no idea which ancient Egyptian glass would match the lightweight form with its mineral content.
It wasn't until 1998 that an Italian mineralogist proved that the scarab carving was made of Libyan desert glass.
This desert glass is the Libyan gold meteorite glass.
Libyan desert glass is a natural glass composed of nearly 98% pure silicon, making it the purest natural glass in the world.
Compared with ordinary artificial glass, Libyan desert glass does not start to melt until it is heated to 1700°C, while artificial glass has a melting point ranging from 500-1400°C due to different additives. This melting point is enough to prove the magic of this glass.
And when the desert glass is heated to 500 degrees, it will not break even if it is immediately dropped into the water. It is precisely because of these extremely special properties that Libyan desert glass has long been regarded as a creation of a mysterious force.
The composition of Libyan desert meteorite glass is very complex, some are like foam glass, some are small spheres of cristobalite condensed by high crystal silicon at high temperature, and most of them contain black spots or dark stripe inclusions, and some contain dark inclusions. After analyzing the glass for the above various characteristics, it is confirmed that the Libyan desert meteorite glass is a by-product of the meteorite impact.
In fact, the glass is estimated to have been created when a meteorite about 110 meters in diameter struck Earth 29 million years ago. At that time, the meteorite hit the desert in western Libya near Egypt, resulting in a crater 20 times larger than the Arizona crater in the United States, and released an energy equivalent to about 110 million tons of ladders. In an instant, the rocks, fools and soil on the ground were liquefied, and under the action of high pressure, this extremely precious Libyan desert glass was finally formed.
This kind of glass has only recently entered the eyes of the world. Unlike the Czech meteorites that have been around for a long time and are even flooded with fakes, this kind of mysterious desert glass is now worth a lot, and its value is even higher than that of gold of the same weight. It is even higher, so it is known as Libyan gold meteorite glass.
This kind of glass is also called the national treasure of Libya. Usually, many people would not be able to see it with their own eyes, but here, there is a whole box!
In order to determine the true identity of the crystal in this box, Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify it, and the answer he gave was indeed Libyan gold meteorite glass.
This is good stuff, undeniably good stuff. It is estimated that when Gaddafi was in power, their father and son collected it, but they did not expect it to be cheaper now.
Put it away without negotiating!
Joyfully put the box of desert glass into the storage space, Yang Jing then randomly chose the second box.
After the box was opened, the golden light emanating from it caught Yang Jing's eyes again.
gold!
To be precise, the inside of this box is made of gold.
Golden mask, golden scepter, golden spear, golden helmet.
These gold products look very old, especially the two gold masks and the two gold scepters, which are full of typical ancient Egyptian style. If these gold products are real, they can definitely shock the archaeological community all over the world as long as they are taken out.
At present, as long as the ancient Egyptian gold mask is mentioned, the first thing people think of is the golden mask of Tutankhamun. The golden mask is so famous that it has become a representative of the ancient Egyptian golden mask.
In fact, although there are several golden masks in the world, such as the golden masks in the Mayan culture of Central and South America. But the real ancient Egyptian gold mask is only Tutankhamun's gold mask. Of course, there may be an ancient Egyptian gold mask hidden in the hands of some collector, but this is the only one that has been made public.
Therefore, the value of this golden mask is incalculable.
The two golden masks that appeared suddenly now were full of rich ancient Egyptian style. Although they were not as exquisite as the golden masks of Tutankhamun, they were definitely not bad in terms of size and appearance.
Coupled with the two exquisite golden scepters, this constitutes the necessary equipment for a pharaoh before entering the tomb.
Yang Jing didn't dare to confirm the true identities of these two golden masks and golden scepters, but it doesn't matter, we have identification skills, which are omnipotent!
As soon as it was appraised, Yang Jing almost threw away the things in his hand.
It turned out to be genuine!
Golden Mask, Amenhotep IV, 1347 BC.
Golden Scepter, Amenhotep IV, 1347 BC.
Golden Mask, Amenhotep III, 1362 BC.
Golden Scepter, Amenhotep III, 1362 BC.
As soon as these four results came out, there is no doubt that the two golden masks and golden scepters were indeed the funerary objects of two pharaohs of the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt, and these gold products still came from the father and son.
Amenhotep IV was the son of Amenhotep III, and the two were the ninth and tenth pharaohs of the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt.
As for the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, he was the son of Amenhotep IV and the grandson of Amenhotep III
No wonder the two gold masks in my hand are so similar in style to Tutankhamun's gold mask. They are basically handed down from generation to generation, okay? These are my father and son!
However, these two golden masks and golden scepter also made Yang Jing a little tongue-tied.
When it comes to ancient Egyptian culture, one has to mention the famous Valley of the Kings. This Valley of the Kings is not the Valley of the Kings in California, nor the Valley of the Kings in Australia, but the Valley of the Kings near Cairo.
This Valley of the Kings can definitely be called the word emperor, because there are more than 60 tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs buried here from 1539 BC to 1075 BC. Among them, Tutankhamun's father Amenhotep IV and grandfather Amenhotep III are buried here.
It's just that this group of tombs has only opened one tomb to the public, and the other tombs have been announced by the Egyptian government to be excavated. But in fact, everyone knows that the tombs in the Valley of the Kings have been stolen many times.
Don't think that tomb robbery is only in China. In fact, tomb robbery is a common phenomenon all over the world. Just like Egypt, after the Western colonists smashed the country's gates with guns, the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were completely destroyed. Even the famous Khufu Pyramid was smashed open. How could these tombs buried in the Valley of the Kings escape the hands of those Western colonists?
Just like the two golden masks and two golden scepters that Yang Jing found now, since they have been identified as authentic by the holy ring, there is no doubt that these things must be the funeral objects stolen by tomb robbers from the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. I just don't know how it fell into the hands of Gaddafi and his son.
But it's no wonder that when Gaddafi was in power, he was really rich, and this guy also liked to buy art in the Western world. If one encounters a golden mask and a golden scepter at an underground auction, in terms of Gaddafi's character, his subordinates will definitely spend huge sums of money to buy them.
But no matter how these two extremely precious golden masks and golden scepters fell into the hands of Gaddafi and his son, they are all cheaper now!
Nothing to say, pack it up and take it away!
If such an extremely precious thing were placed here, it would be a waste of money. They should be housed in bulletproof glass cases for the world to admire.
The next box was filled with the finest black opal from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia. This kind of precious gemstone called opal in the world has two boxes, all of which are top-quality black opal gemstones, which contain rich natural treasure.
Good stuff, take it!
Then among the remaining fourteen boxes, one of the two boxes is filled with the best Sri Lankan star sapphires, and the other box is filled with rubies from the Mogok region of Myanmar.
Like this kind of red sapphire, there are also many treasures in Mu Tianbo's treasures discovered in Myanmar last time, but compared with these, they are much less.
This thing is good, not only valuable, but the most important thing is that it can provide sufficient natural treasure. Moreover, the natural precious gas contained in this precious gem is also absorbed very quickly, which is far stronger than absorbing the natural precious gas in the oil field.
It will take at least seven or eight hours to replenish the natural treasure gas pool with the natural treasure gas in the oil field. And refill with this precious gem in minutes! Very fast!
