After a few minutes, everyone's emotions calmed down a bit, not so excited.
The last wooden box inlaid with gold and carved red sandalwood has not been opened. What is in that box, which is the legendary Christian holy thing again?
Everyone is extremely curious and full of expectation. Everyone's eyes are on the red sandalwood box, and every sight is extremely hot and even hot.
is different from the previous five gold-engraved red sandalwood wooden boxes. The last wooden box is larger. It is a cuboid with a length of about 1.34 meters, a width of about 80 cm, and a height of about 50 cm. It is also heavier.
"Bishop of Kent, open the last wooden box. I hope that the things in this wooden box will also bring us and everyone a huge surprise."
said the Pope with a smile, his emotions have completely stabilized.
"Okay, Your Majesty the Pope"
Bishop Kent nodded in response, his voice still trembling slightly.
Next, he and another senior priest worked together to move the heavy wooden box to the center of the workbench, and then prepared to open the wooden box that had been sleeping in the dark for more than seven hundred years.
At this moment, whether it is the temple church scene or the countless live broadcasts, everyone is staring at the Bishop of Kent, staring at the red sandalwood box that exudes precious light.
"Snapped"
The gold buckle bounced back and made a crisp sound, which sounded like a natural sound.
Immediately afterwards, the lid of the red sandalwood box was gently opened by the Kent Bishop, revealing the contents of the box.
Same as the previous few times, the first thing everyone saw was still a piece of linen embroidered with horses and other crosses.
However, the contents of this box are obviously larger. Judging from the outline shown on the linen cloth, this thing is about one meter long and has an extremely irregular shape.
"Hey! What is this? It is so long, is it an ancient weapon?"
"It looks like a sacrificial item. Could it be King Solomon's seven-branched gold candlestick? If it is, it would be great!"
Amidst one after another, the Bishop of Kent has gently lifted a corner of that piece of linen, revealing what is hidden underneath.
At this moment, a dazzling golden light flashed before everyone's eyes, making everyone's eyes dizzy.
Gold! It's the golden light. You've seen it five times before, so it's not too familiar.
Bishop Kent's right hand holding the linen suddenly stopped in the air, and the whole person seemed to froze. His breathing became heavy in an instant, and his eyes quickly became bloodshot and red.
This scene is so familiar to everyone. It has happened several times before, and each time means the appearance of a Christian holy object.
Obviously, the thing in that red sandalwood box is definitely a legendary Christian holy object, and its importance is no less than the five golden gospels before.
"Bishop of Kent, what is in this box? Everyone wants to know the answer."
Prince William said aloud, somewhat eagerly.
It’s not him, why not the other people at the scene are in the same mood, everyone can’t wait to see what is hidden under that piece of linen.
Following Prince William’s words, the Bishop of Kent was awakened, and his right hand shook.
Immediately afterwards, he gently uncovered the darkened linen cloth and concealed the thing under it, finally revealing the whole picture before everyone's eyes.
It is a simple gold candlestick. There are seven bifurcations on an erected base, the middle bifurcation is slightly higher than the two sides, and the candlestick is scarred, and the marks of the sword chopping are clearly visible.
Fortunately, although this seven-branched gold candlestick has gone through hardships, it is basically intact. The main parts have not been lost. The decorations and ancient Hebrew words engraved on the candlestick are still clearly visible.
The moment I saw this golden candlestick, everyone on the scene, or the people in front of the live broadcast, as long as they have knowledge of Western history, could not help but be stunned and stunned.
Especially in Israel, one or two thousand kilometers away, the whole country seemed to freeze in an instant. Everyone was completely stunned by the scenes before them, eyes full of incredible and crazy.
Finally, someone broke this suffocating tranquility, and this person was Ye Tian.
"Wow! It turned out to be King Solomon's seven-branched gold candlestick. I didn't expect the legend to be true. It was a huge surprise that King Solomon's seven-branched gold candlestick was hidden in the treasure of the Knights Templar.
In Jerusalem, I found a seven-branched bronze candlestick. It was a sacred instrument that was once enshrined in the Second Temple. Inside it was hidden a token of love given by Herod the Great to his beloved Miriam. "
When I came to the Temple Church in London, I didn’t expect to find King Solomon’s seven-branched gold candlestick. This sacred object was once enshrined in the first temple. It seems that I have a close relationship with the seven-branched candlestick. "
Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed, and he did not feel ecstatic because he found another legendary holy thing.
Following his remarks, all the people on the live and broadcast side woke up.
The next moment, inside and outside the Temple Church, and in front of all the live broadcasts, there was no surprise that it boiled, just like a violently erupting volcano, spraying extremely hot lava.
"God! It is actually King Solomon's seven-branched golden candlestick, another legendary Christian holy thing. This is simply too exaggerated. Am I dreaming? What kind of day is this? It's crazy!"
"Undoubtedly, this is another great discovery that shocked the world. King Solomon's seven-branched gold candlestick is not only a very important Christian holy object, but also a Jewish holy object.
The central pattern of the modern Israeli national emblem is a seven-branched candlestick. To be precise, it is the design of the seven-branched gold candlestick in front of you. It is the Jewish spiritual totem! "
Amidst the cries of exclamation, the pope has walked quickly to the bishop of Kent and began to check the seven-branched gold candlestick in the box.
At this time, he looked very excited, his eyes were bright as searchlights, and his performance was the same as when he saw the five golden gospels before.
Although he is the pope, he is not an expert in the identification of antique art. He can't see the authenticity of this seven-branched gold candlestick, and he is not sure if it is the sacred object once enshrined in the first temple.
But someone can tell by the side!
After carefully observing the seven-branched gold candlestick in the box, the Pope turned his head to look at Ye Tian and said expectantly:
"Steven, you are a top antique art appraisal expert. Come and take a look at this seven-branched gold candlestick. Tell me about your appraisal. Is this King Solomon's seven-branched gold candlestick?"
Ye Tian did not refuse. He stepped forward two steps, looked down at the seven-branched gold candlestick in the box, but did not reach out to touch it.
In just a moment, he gave his identification conclusion.
"His Majesty, according to my assessment, this seven-branched golden candlestick should have been cast about three thousand years ago, which is about the tenth century BC, and the Solomon Temple was built in 957 BC.
In that ancient age, there was absolutely no possibility of anyone who was capable of casting such a seven-branched golden candlestick besides King Solomon, known as the ‘Jew’s King of Wisdom’.
The seven-branched candlestick is very Jewish and is a symbol of the Jews. Except for the Jews and the ancient kingdom of Israel, other nations and countries will not spend a lot of money to cast such a thing.
More importantly, King Solomon’s seven-branched gold candlestick is said to be made by Bezalel, a famous craftsman and artist in ancient Israel. If unsurprisingly, this candlestick should have his signature"
Upon hearing this, the Pope immediately asked the Bishop of Kent and another senior monk to take out the seven-branched gold candlestick in the boxLook if there is Bezalel's signature or personal logo on it. .
Next, the Bishop of Kent and the others worked together and carefully took out this priceless treasure with a history of three thousand years from the box and gently placed it on the temporary workbench.
Then, these senior Vatican monks opened their eyes wide and began to look for the personal signature of Bezalel, a famous craftsman in ancient Israel. Everyone looked at them with great care and expectations.
In just a few moments, the bishop of Kent saw a line of ancient Hebrew at the bottom of the base of the golden candlestick and also saw a signature.
"I found it. There is a line of ancient Hebrew at the bottom of the gold candlestick base, which is to the effect that this candlestick is dedicated to God and to the great King Solomon. At the end is Bezalel's personal signature.
There is no doubt that this is indeed the Christian sacred object that seems to exist only in the legend. At the same time, it is also the sacred object of Judaism. The seven-branched gold candlestick of King Solomon is conclusive! "
The Bishop of Kent said with excitement, and pointed his finger at the base of the seven-branched gold candlestick on the workbench, almost dancing with excitement.
Following his remarks, many places inside and outside the Temple Church, in front of countless live broadcasts, boiled again, and cheers rang wildly again, straight through the clouds.
In Israel at this time, the situation is even worse. The whole country has fallen into a state of almost madness.
The same goes for Jews all over the world. Some people have already burst into tears, crying like children!
