Ye Tian rested for a while, then got up and went to the living room to sit down. Through the tall floor-to-ceiling glass windows, he quietly admired the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis.
He was waiting for the sun to rise, casting golden sunlight onto the Parthenon and sprinkling it all over the ancient city of Athens. That moment must be very beautiful and definitely not to be missed.
Many tourists staying in this five-star hotel, as well as many people who came to visit Athens, also got up with the same idea, waiting for the moment the sun rises.
The eastern horizon is getting brighter and brighter, and the previous white belly has been replaced by a fiery red sunrise.
The night gradually faded, and Athens, an ancient city with a history of more than three thousand years, is slowly waking up, ready to welcome a new day.
The landscape light on the top of the Acropolis of Athens went out, and in an instant, the parthenon temple, which was originally magnificent, suddenly dimmed, and even the sky of Athens seemed to be much darker.
Suddenly, a piece of golden sunlight was projected from the sky, shining on the east side of the Parthenon, as if coating this simple and solemn temple with a layer of gold powder, which was extremely dazzling.
Especially the tall Doria stone pillars, like those made of gold, support the ancient but dilapidated Parthenon, radiating the bright light of civilization.
The sun rose higher and higher, and the golden sunlight had spread all over the Parthenon and the entire top of the Acropolis, completely dispelling the darkness.
Athens, this ancient city with a history of more than three thousand years, has completely awakened, and it is a new day.
Seeing this dazzling and beautiful scene, many rooms in the five-star hotel where Ye Tian was located, as well as many places throughout the city of Athens, sounded bursts of wonder.
"Wow! It's so beautiful, it's like a miracle!"
"It's so shocking. It is really a great idea to build the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis. The high temple is like a lighthouse, and the light of civilization spreads throughout Athens."
Just when people were amazed, Ye Tian had already got up from the sofa and strolled to the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying this beautiful and moving picture intoxicated, and he felt immersed in it.
...
Time passed quickly, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.
After breakfast, Ye Tian was about to leave the Coco Mart Hotel and visit the Acropolis Museum not far from the hotel.
At this moment, Jason's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible headset.
"Steven, the guys from the Metropolitan Museum and the National Gallery of Art are here, and here are two guys from the U.S. Department of Culture. They want to meet you."
Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Ye Tian's face.
He naturally knew where these guys came from. Without exception, these guys came for the sculptures of the ancient Roman or Hellenistic period that may exist in the shipwreck treasure.
Compared with the top famous museums such as the Louvre, the British Museum, and the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, the strength of the major museums in the United States is much different in the collection and research of ancient Roman and ancient Greek sculptures.
This time I heard that this sunken treasure might contain sculptures from ancient Rome or the Hellenistic period. Those guys at the Metropolitan Museum and the National Gallery of America, how willing to miss such a godsend opportunity.
When Ye Tian flew to Athens, the directors of these top American museums called Ye Tian one after another, asking about the situation of the sunken treasure, and expressing his willingness to buy some sculptures.
Not only them, but even the President of the United States also called Ye Tian, hoping that he could ship all the sculptures found in ancient Rome or the Hellenistic period back to the United States.
If he intends to sell these valuable sculptures, please give priority to major American museums and top American collectors to keep those ancient sculptures in the United States.
When talking to these guys on the phone, Ye Tian did not give a clear answer, agreeing or rejecting, only saying that it depends on the situation, it is too early to say this.
However, considering that his Brave Fearless Exploration Company is in Manhattan, New York, and he will have to deal with these guys and do business in the United States in the future, Ye Tian still gave these guys a little sweetness.
He promised these guys that they would send several experts and scholars who studied the sculpture art of ancient Rome and the Hellenistic period to participate in and witness the exploration of salvaging the sunken treasure of ancient Rome.
The guys from the U.S. Department of Culture and the Metropolitan Museum moved quickly. Ye Tian and the others had just arrived in Athens, and these guys rushed over.
After pondering a little, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Jason, I don't plan to meet with these guys for the time being. I stretched them out and said that I have something to do and I can't get away. You can arrange a few rooms for these guys and let them move in first.
If unsurprisingly, representatives of the Louvre in France and the British Museum in Britain, as well as several other famous museums, will soon arrive in Athens, all of which will be handled in the same way"
"Okay, Steven, let me take care of it"
Jason responded and ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian cleaned up a bit, then walked out of the presidential suite, joined David and other company employees, and prepared to visit the Acropolis Museum next to the hotel.
Responsible for protecting them are the numerous armed security personnel led by Matisse.
When they walked out of the elevator and appeared in the lobby of the Cocomata Hotel, they immediately caused a sensation.
The many tourists and all the staff in the hotel lobby, as well as many Greek police and other people from different directions, all looked at them and started talking in low voices.
"Wow! Steven really came to Athens, and it seems that Athens can't escape the fate of being looted wildly, just like Paris, London and other cities that were looted wildly by this guy before!"
"If Steven is only here for the antique art in Athens, to explore the shipwreck treasures, then it's okay to say that at least we won't suffer from the fish, and we can see the excitement.
I'm afraid that this guy will turn Athens into a **** and **** battlefield. That would be a big trouble! You know, no matter where this guy goes, he will cause a huge storm! "
While people were talking about it, their eyes were full of curiosity and endless envy when they looked at Ye Tian.
For these, Ye Tian and the others have long been used to it, and they turned a blind eye. They talked and laughed through the hotel lobby and walked straight to the door of the hotel.
Several officials of the Greek Ministry of Culture waiting in the lobby of the hotel, as well as some Greek policemen in plain clothes who were specifically responsible for cultural relic crimes, followed one after another and stared at their group closely.
Outside the hotel, many heavily armed Greek police officers are also standing guard, watching the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the street vigilantly, ready to respond.
When he came to the door of the hotel and was about to walk out of the hotel's door, Ye Tian secretly opened the perspective, and quickly saw through the several buildings outside and across the hotel, as well as the situation on the street.
After confirming that there were no safety hazards, Ye Tian walked out of the hotel and came to the street outside under the protection of Matisse and the others.
Standing at the entrance of the hotel, Ye Tian glanced at the situation on the street, then smiled and said:
"Let’s go, guys, let’s go to the Acropolis Museum, and then go to the top of the Acropolis hill to admire the Parthenon, the symbol of Western culture."
With that, Ye Tian had already stepped out and walked straight to the Acropolis Museum less than a hundred meters away.
David and Matisse immediately followed, talking and laughing. Everyone was very relaxed, and they seemed to be no different from other tourists who came to Athens on holiday.
However, the Greeks who followed, whether they were officials of the Greek Ministry of Culture, or the Greek police in plain clothes or uniforms, could not relax.
Each of them is highly nervous and on high alert at all times, watching the surrounding movement closely, lest the gunshots suddenly sound, and a rain of bullets flies from a corner.
If that kind of thing does happen, with Steven and his gang of bastards' cruel and cruel behavior, Athens will instantly become a bullet-flying battlefield.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
There were no gunshots, no deadly bullets, and even the most common thieves on the streets of Greece seemed to be much less.
This made everyone who followed Ye Tian and them, every Greek and every tourist nearby secretly relieved, not so nervous.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others have come to the entrance of the Acropolis Museum.
This is a modern and classical museum building, located at the foot of the Acropolis, covering an area of about 25,000 square meters, which is quite huge!
The Acropolis Museum was built in 2009. It is very recent and its style is different from the historic Acropolis Hill and the Parthenon on the top of the hill.
However, there is no conflict between them, but a bit of harmony.
Standing in front of this famous museum, visitors feel as if they are in a space-time tunnel, wandering between ancient and modern. It's amazing!
Standing in front of the museum, Ye Tian saw several old friends walking here, the curator of the Acropolis Museum, Pandemaris, and several famous antique art appraisal experts.
Obviously, these old friends have received the news, so they greeted them from the museum.
