C1104

In 1970, UNESCO adopted a convention with a long name, called the Convention on the means and Convention for the prohibition and prevention of the illegal import, export and transfer of ownership of cultural property, which stipulates that "the convention only applies to the request for restitution made by a state after the entry into force of this Convention". It is only "cultural relics stolen from the territory of the State Party and Illegally Exported Cultural Relics after the entry into force of the State Party." Huaxia acceded to the Convention in 1989.

What does this Convention mean? It is after 1989 that illegal cultural relics flowing out of China can be returned by virtue of this Convention. However, what has been taken before will not be returned. Therefore, museums all over the world have put the treasures of China in a proper way, but Huaxia has no way. And the treasure that was stolen before the birth of the Convention in 1970, countries all over the world can't get it back.

But after that, there are still countless people who smuggle cultural relics out of the country or import them. How can they wash these cultural relics white? First of all, they will make up a false identity for this cultural relic. For example, this batch of Colombian treasures will make up a reason similar to "when the peasant uprising in ancient Colombia in 1948, a local Chinese rich man came back to take refuge when he returned home." this is in line with the white age limit.

Then he started to put this thing in a small auction, sold it by himself and bought it back. This is to establish an auction record file. After repeated several times, he would go to the high-level auction house for auction. In this way, the cultural relics have an orderly file. Or a "legal" identity. It's easier to do this in China: did there ever be an auction in Huaxia before 1970? Just make it up, whatever you say is what you say.

But director Wang directly rejected Xiao Peng's proposal. It's because what Xiao Peng took out is really frightening!

In the first box, there are several thin relief stone slabs, on which are carved people dancing. The lines are very simple, but they are very round.

"What are you doing with some broken slabs?" Sun asked in a puzzled way.

What did Xiao Peng do at home

He was joking, of course, but he knew what it was.

However, the director of the Royal Museum obviously had no sense of humor, so he directly widened his eyes and called out: "boss Xiao, what are you going to do? With a baby like this on the floor? Do you know what this is? This is a dancer relief from the arwan mountain site! Is the pronoun of the whole site! Now we're going to mount alvan and see only fakes! And it must be genuine. "

Xiao Peng quickly waved his hand and said, "don't be excited. I'm just joking. I've seen one piece in New York and know its value."

"What is its value?" Sun asked curiously.

Wang Guanchang sighed: "it's just like stepmother Wuding's status in China..."

"National treasure!" After hearing this, Mr. Sun looked at the rectangular slabs. The jewelry donated by Xiao Peng to the museum is absolutely valuable, but compared with this national treasure, it is not a concept.

What's more, Xiao Peng said that he donated the cultural relic value higher than the economic value to the museum, but it turned out that he had the highest cultural relic value.

Now he is curious: "what are the other things? It's very penetrating

He saw a human figure. Although it was human, it had a head, arms and legs, but the appearance was somewhat sinister: it had the face of a cobra and was covered with snake scales; its four fangs protruded, and under the fangs was a tongue like "snake Xinzi"; four hands were opened, and the abdomen was gouged open to reveal a head, and the gurgling blood flow turned into the appearance of two snakes.

Director Wang called a middle-aged man behind him: "Xiao Liu, come and have a look at these things. Let me introduce you to him. This is Liu Xin, an expert in Indian culture."

Liu Xin took a breath when he saw the statue, put on his glasses and observed it. He said, "this is the goddess of earth in Maya culture and the mother of gods in their mythology. In terms of materials, they can't be compared with the precious materials of the National Museum

"Is it a national treasure again?" Sun said

Liu Xin didn't want to think about it, but nodded directly.

In the other box were several bronzes.

It is interesting that the Indians did not have bronze culture, only the red copper culture which used natural copper. So many people say that Chinese bronzes were handed down from the West.

In fact, this view is also open to question. After all, the Indians have not learned the technology of smelting and casting copper ore for thousands of years. Their copper wares are made directly from natural copper. Since there is no smelting technology, how can they have bronzes and other copper alloy articles? Copper was not a necessity for Indians, so it did not develop.

However, the native copper culture of Indians is still a wonderful flower in the world culture.

In the early days, copper was usually on the surface of the earth and coexisted with brightly colored copper ores such as malachite, so it was easily discovered by the ancients. In their eyes, the copper is just a kind of colored stone. Now, in the languages of some Indian tribes in North America, copper is also called "red stone", "yellow stone" and "soft stone". These copper can be shaped by beating, so Indians like to use this natural copper to make ornaments and tools.Liu Xin picked up a red copper square jar and looked at it for a long time: "this is a copper square jar carved into a statue of Indian Rain God. All of it is made by hand. You can see that it has a symmetrical proportion of five senses, a pair of big eyes and a deep spirit. The whole statue is simple and generous, and looks very solemn. It should have been used by the leaders of Indian tribes to sacrifice at that time. "

"One is a warrior covered with leopard pattern; the other is wearing the helmet of a giant snake and wearing the feathers of a divine eagle, which is the image of the bravest soldier of the time. Once again, bronze sculptures of this kind have never been found before, and only exist in the frescoes of the trottok civilization. These three bronze sculptures should have come from the same sculptor. This may be his only work. He has never found anything like this before! It's unique! "

"Is it a national treasure again?" he blinked

Liu Xin did not even consider: "yes, no doubt!"

Old sun didn't know what to say. He pointed to the last box beside him: "what's in this?"

Liu Xin sighed: "I dare not express my opinions on things there."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Xin went to a gold disc and wanted to move it. Although the gold disc was only the size of a pot cover, it was at least 300 Jin. He tried it once and gave it up: "there is a treasure of the National Museum of anthropology in Mexico, which is called the" Sun calendar stone ". The most prominent place to go to the museum is the 3.6-meter-diameter round stone tablet. The National Museum of anthropology was founded in Mexico because of the stone tablet. The stone tablet, a unique creation of the Aztecs of the Central American Indians, was carved on a single boulder. It was originally decorated on the wall of the notitlan temple, which was destroyed by the Spanish, but the sun calendar stone was miraculously preserved. It was discovered again in 1790 and collected in the museum. "

"What's the relationship between this disc and that disc?" Lu interrupted

Liu Xin sighed and explained to the crowd: "there has been a saying that there were two pieces of sun calendar stone in the temple of notitlan. One is a huge stone carving and the other is made of pure gold. Look at the big sun in the middle of the disc and four suns beside it. This is because Aztecs believe that since the birth of heaven and earth, they have experienced four suns, which were destroyed by wind, earth, water and fire. The last sun is tonatius, their sun god. The big sun in the middle of the disc is tonatius, and the four small suns on the side are the other four. The twenty small squares around the circle are the images of the twenty days corresponding to the solar calendar, and the patterns of flowers and precious stones are on the top of the circle, which means praising the sun god. If I'm right, this is the golden sun calendar stone in the temple of notitlan. "

"And this is not the most precious, but the most precious is this set of gold jewelry." Liu Xin points to the last thing.

After seeing this, Mr. Lu said: "it's Hercules who can bring this thing?"

This set of jewelry includes a gold mask; a pair of square gold earrings; a necklace that looks like a chest armor; a pair of gold bracelets 10 cm wide; ten rings, and two rings on your toes; several other trinkets that you don't know where to wear; and finally, two little gold balls, which are probably adorable toys. This set of jewelry is at least ten kilos. If you are not Hercules, you can't wear it.

"It was not brought by the living, but the dead. It is the same as the jadeite mask unearthed in the Mayan civilization." Liu Xin replied: "it has never been found. It should be the burial objects of the high-ranking leaders in the Mayan civilization after their death."

Yang Meng interposed and asked, "how do you know it's used by people after death?"

Liu Xin pointed to a long, pointed gold cylinder similar to the false nails of the imperial concubine of China and Qing Dynasty and said, "this thing is worn on a small Ding Ding. Do you think a living person can carry it? Mr. Sun, all these things are national treasures. "

After Liu Xin finished, director Wang shrugged to Xiao Peng: "now I know why I said these things can't be washed white, right? If the Indian countries in Central America know about these things, they don't know what to do with them! "

Well, it's a real problem.
