After some exclamation, Ye Tian moved again, and he gently wiped away the dust and moss on the base of the bust of Caesar with a towel.
Following his movements, a line of ancient Latin engraved on the front of the pedestal emerged and caught everyone's eyes.
The contents of this line of ancient Latin are the full name of Caesar, the creation time of this bronze bust, and the ancient Roman sculptor who created this work.
As Ye Tian said, this bronze bust of Caesar was indeed created in 60 BC, and the age number engraved on the base is very clear and clearly visible.
That period was the time when Caesar and Pompey, as well as Crassus, these three famous ancient Roman giants entered into an alliance and formed the first three alliances!
The sculptor who created this bronze bust of Caesar was the most famous master sculptor in Rome at the time, and he was from the Greek island of Rhodes.
Greece in the middle of the first century BC has been reduced to Roman territory and has reached the end of the Hellenistic era.
As one of the most famous sculptors at the end of the Hellenistic era, Poryudoros naturally had to serve the rulers and powerful classes of ancient Rome by carving portraits and other sculptures for them.
The most famous sculptures that Poryudoros has been handed down to the world are created by him and two other famous sculptors of his time, Agsandros and Atano Doros, also from Rhodes Island, Greece. Sculpture, "Laocoon".
The group portrait of "Laocoon" was created in the middle of the first century BC. It was discovered in the Baths of Titus near this Romanesque building in the early 16th century. It is now in the Vatican Museum and is the treasure of the Vatican Museum!
After today, the most famous representative work of Poryduros will become the bust of this emperor Caesar.
And this bronze sculpture was completed by him independently, not in cooperation with others, obviously more representative!
With the appearance of this line of ancient Latin and the content of these words being translated by the Bishop of Kent, the scene again set off a wave of restlessness, and excited exclamations followed.
"Wow! It is actually a statue of Caesar created in 60 BC. It is conceivable that after Caesar and the others formed the first three-head alliance, perhaps it was to commemorate this historic moment, so I found someone to create these statues!
There is no doubt that this is the earliest Caesar statue that people have discovered so far. It has a clear origin, and it is so perfectly preserved without a single trace of damage. It is really a priceless treasure, and its value is inestimable! "
"It is not only the earliest and most perfect statue of Caesar, but it also came from the hand of the famous sculptor Poludoros in the Hellenistic era. As far as I know, this is probably the only work that Poliutoros has independently created and passed down to this day!
While exclaiming, everyone rushed in, and quickly gathered around the bronze statue of Caesar the Great, admiring them with ecstasy, all of them were almost crazy with excitement.
When everyone was scrambling to admire the bronze bust of Caesar, Ye Tian smiled and retreated.
Afterwards, he walked to the bust of Pompeii next to him, and wiped all the dust and moss off the bronze statue with the towel in his hand.
Next, there was another bust of Krasu, and he continued to repeat the previous actions.
Like the bust of Caesar, the bronze busts of Pompeo and Crassus were also from the hands of the ancient Greek engraver Poludoros. They are also intact, with only a thin layer of green patina on the statue.
On the square pedestal of the two bronze statues, there is also a line of ancient Latin engraved, clearly stating the origin of the two statues, who the carved figures are, and the work of the famous sculptor. And other information.
After clearing out the bronze statues of Pompey and Crasu, Ye Tian stood in front of the two statues, stopped to admire, and exchanged time and space with these two famous ancient Roman giants!
In just a short time, the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni, after admiring the bronze statue of Caesar the Great, immediately turned their attention to the statues of Pompeii and Crassus, and quickly surrounded the two statues.
Needless to ask, there were waves of admiration again on the scene, and every voice was excited.
Ye Tian stepped back again, and went straight to the left side of the bust of Caesar, standing in front of the lower stone platform, pretending to be curious, looking at the wooden box placed on the stone platform.
This is a rectangular black walnut box, about one meter long, about forty centimeters wide, and forty centimeters high. Each corner is wrapped with gold, and the box seems to be carved with some patterns and patterns.
Because the box is covered with a layer of dust and moss, the color of the box and the patterns and patterns carved on the surface of the box are not clear for the time being.
Although this black walnut box came from more than two thousand years ago, it has been stored here for a very long time, but it is quite well preserved. It does not seem to have any problems and is still very strong!
The reason is that this secret room has been isolated from the world for a long time, and the air cannot circulate, which avoids the occurrence of oxidation reactions, so this wooden box can be preserved intact.
Of course, this wooden box from the period of the Ancient Roman Republic may just look complete, but the inside is already fragile. As long as people touch it, it will immediately fall apart and turn into a pile of powder!
Ye Tian stood in front of this stone platform, pretending to look carefully at the old wooden box, and did not wipe the dust and moss on the wooden box, and tried to open the wooden box.
About three to five minutes later, the Bishop of Kent and the others finished admiring the bronze statues of the former three-headed alliance, and then they came to this side, everyone was excited.
As they approached, they immediately looked at the wooden box placed on the stone platform. Everyone was curious, and their eyes were full of expectation.
"Steven, what's in this old wooden box? It's placed behind the bust of Caesar the Great. Could the things in it be the relics of Caesar the Great?"
"Why don't you open this wooden box? Steven, see what's in the box? Maybe it's another huge surprise!"
As soon as they stopped, everyone said in a rush, everyone looked like they couldn't wait.
Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then looked at the old wooden box on the stone platform, and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, what exactly is in this old black walnut box on the stone platform? I don't know, but I very much hope that it contains the relics of Emperor Caesar. It is undoubtedly a huge surprise!
As for why didn't I open this box in the first place? The reason is simple. I am waiting for everyone to come over and witness this historic moment together. Another point is that the condition of this box is still unclear.
Although this black walnut box looks intact, it has been hidden here for more than two thousand years. It has been isolated from the world and has not been exposed to the outside air. This effectively avoids oxidation!
But as we open this secret passage, and as fresh air is re-injected here after more than two thousand years, this wooden box may have undergone changes that we can't see with the naked eye, and it may be fragile!
This kind of thing is very strange. The same thing happened in the ancient Egyptian pyramids and the Thousand-Buddha Caves in Dunhuang, China. Many antique cultural relics turned into fly ash the moment they re-contacted the air!
For the sake of prudence, I did not touch the wooden box at the first time, nor did I wipe the dust and moss attached to it. I just waited for everyone to come over~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then do these things under your witness"
"You're right, Steven, in the long-term isolation of the air, many ancient antiques with a long history can be preserved intact and new.
However, when the small environment where they are located suddenly changes and fresh air is injected, some antique cultural relics and works of art will instantly age and even turn to ashes.
The rapid aging of these antique cultural relics and artworks is like spending hundreds of thousands of years in a few seconds, especially the mural paintings are most affected.
Fortunately, there are no mural art works here. Some are just bronze sculptures and various stone murals. The oxidation reaction is not violent, but you still have to be careful! "
Antonio continued, confirming Ye Tian's approach.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded, and everyone's eyes flashed with appreciation.
At this moment, everyone in this secret room is either an expert in the industry or a half-expert. To be unhelpful, they also understand a little bit of relevant knowledge.
Everyone knows that Ye Tian's remarks are right, so naturally he has no objections.
Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce the situation, and then walked forward with a towel, ready to wipe the dust and moss attached to the wooden box!
He stretched out his hand cautiously, put the towel on the black walnut box, and was about to wipe it.
At this moment, the seemingly intact and very strong wooden box suddenly made a creak.
Immediately after that, the wooden box was like a building block that was torn down. It collapsed in an instant and was scattered on the stone platform.
At the same time, a bright light flashed before everyone's eyes, which was so dazzling that everyone on the scene couldn't help blinking their eyes to adapt to this sudden light!
