Around half past nine in the evening, night has enveloped the entire Jerusalem.
This ancient city with a long history has quieted down, and the bright moonlight sheds light on every corner of the city, showing another side of Jerusalem. It has a different flavor and is very charming!
At this time, Ye Tian and the others were sitting in the living room, sipping coffee while chatting with the bishop of Kent who had just come in.
The subject of their chat was not the treasures of the Knights Templar, but the two Jewish sacred artifacts that Ye Tian had just discovered in the afternoon and the current external situation.
"Steven, when we just returned to the hotel from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, we saw that the heavily armed Israeli military and police had enclosed the hotel from three to three and three outside levels. The battle looked quite scary!
If you did not know why the Israeli military and police came, seeing this, most people would think that there must have been a major attack here, or that the Israeli military and police were fighting with the Palestinians again! "
The Bishop of Kent said with a smile, and raised his eyes to look at the day-like night sky outside, still somewhat worried.
"This is normal. The seven-branched bronze candlestick I found this afternoon and the token of love given to Miriam by Herod the Great are all sacred objects in the Second Temple of Judaism. Can the Israelites be nervous? ?
Fortunately, these two priceless treasures were found at the junction of Armenia and the Jewish quarter, and the seven-branched bronze candlestick is a Jewish religious article, and the text message on the gold pendant is also very clear.
If these things were found in the musi forest area, and the characteristics are not very obvious, the Jerusalem of this meeting may have long been a mess, and the Israelis and Palestinians have long been a mess!
In 2007, when the Israelis discovered and excavated Herodium, there was a fierce conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians over the ownership of many archaeological artifacts, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Compared with the cultural relics unearthed in Herodium, the two treasures discovered today are obviously of higher value and more special significance. Under such circumstances, the Israeli authorities must be extremely careful! "
Ye Tian said, his expression looked very relaxed, and his face was always full of smiles.
"No way, this is Jerusalem, a religious sacred site that has always been located on the crater. Religious conflicts, cultural conflicts, and territorial conflicts are common here and are the norm in this holy city!"
The Bishop of Kent shook his head lightly and said with a few emotions.
Immediately afterwards, Leonardo continued to say:
"We are here to find the treasures of the Knights Templar and the many religious sacred objects in the treasures. Among those religious sacred objects, they include King Solomon's seven-branched golden candlestick!
But who would have thought that we did not find the treasure of the Knights Templar and the seven-branched golden candlestick of King Solomon in the treasure, but we found the seven-branched bronze candlestick cast by Herod the Great.
Steven, your luck is extremely good, no matter where you go, there will be shocking major discoveries, people have to doubt that God is always with you! "
"Hahaha"
There was a chuckle at the scene, and every voice was full of envy.
Before the laughter died down, Cole's voice suddenly came from the invisible headset.
"Steven, representatives of the Israeli government, as well as antique art appraisal experts from the National Museum of Israel and the Hebrew University, have arrived at the hotel.
It was the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister who appeared outside the antique shop this afternoon, the Israeli Minister of Culture, and his old friend Joshua.
The video conference is ready. The super-rich Jewish people in Israel, Europe and America are all online at this time. You can start a conversation with them! "
Hearing what Cole reported, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
Immediately afterwards, he put down the coffee cup and stood up, smiling and saying to David and the others:
"Gentlemen, let's go to the conference room to meet the high-ranking Israeli officials, antique art appraisal experts, and the super-rich Jewish people all over the world!"
As he said, he picked up the metal trolley box beside the sofa and walked towards the door of the suite.
The Bishop of Kent and David looked at each other and immediately followed them. Everyone looked very interested.
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian and the others were already in the conference room. Several people lined up and sat on one side of the long conference table.
Sitting across from them were a group of high-ranking officials from the Israeli government. The leader was the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister who had met in front of the antique shop this afternoon.
In addition, the Israeli Minister of Culture and Deputy Minister Joshua, as well as several senior officials from the Cultural Heritage Administration, also sat on the other side of the conference table.
Those well-known antique art appraisal experts from the National Museum of Israel, the Hebrew University, and the Ministry of Culture of Israel are gathered around another table, admiring and appraising the two cultural relics on the table.
From their almost fanatical expressions and their excited discussions, it is clear what the two antique artworks they are admiring and appraising are!
Apart from the seven-branched bronze candlestick cast by Herod the Great, and the gold pendant that Herod the Great gave to the beloved Miriam of his life, what else could there be?
The reason why these Israelis appeared here was for the two sacred artifacts of the Second Temple, and they made up their minds that they must take away these two sacred artifacts today!
In addition, there are many world-renowned super-rich Jewish people who also participated in this meeting.
However, the way they participate is somewhat special.
Except for the two super-rich people in Israel who were on the scene, the other super-rich did not come to Jerusalem, but participated in the meeting through live video.
At both ends of the long conference table where Ye Tian and the others were sitting, a large-screen TV was set up, and each TV screen had a dozen small screens.
The protagonists who appear in those pictures are the super-rich Jewish people all over the world, many of whom are old friends who Ye Tian knows and who have bought antique art from him.
At this time, Ye Tian was joking and chatting with these old friends. Naturally, the center of the topic was the two sacred artifacts that had just been discovered and quickly made a sensation in the whole world, affecting every Jew's nerve.
"Gentlemen, I am extremely confident in my vision. The ornamentation and inscriptions on the seven-branched bronze candlestick and the Hebrew text on the gold pendant are enough to explain everything.
Undoubtedly, that is the seven-branched bronze candlestick cast by Herod the Great, and the gold pendant that Herod the Great gave to the beloved Miriam of his life. They are veritable Jewish sacred objects.
After the experts and scholars nearby have completed the appraisal and the results are released, we can talk about this antique art transaction. I hope everyone can participate in it.
In particular, everyone's bid can be cash or real estate, but the real estate used for the transaction must be located in New York, USA or Beijing, China, and other places are free!
Then there is the transaction price. Here I can tell you clearly that I have an auction reserve price in my heart. If this price is not reached, then I can only keep these two sacred artifacts!
After the bidding is over, we can immediately complete the transaction. The winner of the bidding transfers the money to me. After receiving the payment, I will hand over the two Jewish sacred objects to the Israeli government for safekeeping! "
Before the words were over, the super-rich Jewish people from all over the world had already clamored, and the meeting room suddenly became very noisy.
"Steven, you guy is still as greedy as ever! Nothing has changed, I can tell, today some of us will be slapped!"
"You can use real estate for exchange! This is a good idea, Steven, our family has a lot of high-end real estate in New York, I don't know if it can be yours!"
Seeing the reaction of these super-rich Jewish people, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing softly.
This is really a bunch of rich and fat sheep. If you don't slaughter you severely, can you be worthy of yourself?
Twenty minutes passed before talking.
Those Israel's top antique art appraisal experts have finally completed their work and after some low-pitched discussions reached a consistent appraisal conclusion!
What is the result, do you need to ask?
"Gentlemen, after careful identification and discussion just now, we have unanimously determined that this seven-branched bronze candlestick was indeed cast by the order of Herod the Great and was cast in the late first century BC!
And this gold pendant was a token of love given by Herod the Great to Miriam, the beloved of his life. According to our guess, after Miriam was executed, Herod the Great missed it and hid it in the bronze candlestick.
In this way, Miriam can be enshrined in the temple forever. This may be the atonement of Herod the Great. There is no doubt that these two cultural relics are the treasures of the nation of Israel and are the sacred instruments of Judaism. ..."
Although this result had been expected for a long time, when the director of the Israel National Museum personally read out the appraisal conclusion, this meeting room and many places at the other end of the video conference were completely boiling!
Ye Tian and David, who were sitting at the conference table, looked at each other and smiled, not to mention how proud they were!
The time is ripe to harvest wealth, and this night will be perfect!
