Thousands of kilometers away in London, in a medium-sized conference room in the British Museum.
The director of the British Museum and many senior officials of the museum are watching the live broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
Without exception, these British guys were very excited, even their eyes shone with excitement, and there was also a bit of regret in their eyes!
What excited them so much was Ye Tian, who was talking freely on TV, and the sensational discovery he brought to the world!
“We know that the first person to discover the Rosetta Stone was a French army captain. In 1799, the French army captain named Pierre discovered the stone near the Egyptian city of Rosetta, so Name the Rosetta Stone!
After discovering the Rosetta Stone, Pierre realized that this black stone was very important, so he reported it to his superiors, and then transported the Rosetta Stone to the Egyptian Research Institute established by Napoleon in Cairo for research and analysis by experts and scholars!
In 1801, Napoleon’s army was defeated by the British army, thus ending his three-year rule in Egypt. The occupation of Egypt changed hands, which also caused disputes over the ownership of many antiques and artworks discovered in Egypt.
At that time, French scientists hoped to preserve these antiques and take them away from Alexandria. However, the British believed that these antiques were confiscated and belonged to the property of King George III of England.
Among these antiques, the most important one is the Rosetta Stone. For these valuable antiques, the French wrote to the British ambassador, threatening to destroy them if the British snatched them away!
After the British army occupied Alexandria, they signed the Treaty of Alexandria with the French, officially ending the French occupation of Egypt. According to this agreement, the antique cultural relics discovered by the French army during their occupation were transferred to the British army.
However, when the French retreated, they did not hand over the Rosetta Stone in accordance with the agreement. Instead, they tried to use a small boat to smuggle this priceless treasure back to France. Unfortunately, they failed and were intercepted by the British on the way!
After this incident, Britain and France reached an agreement. The French could keep their previous research results and rubbings of the Rosetta Stone. The ownership of the Rosetta Stone belonged to the United Kingdom, and it was shipped to London soon after!
After the Rosetta Stone arrived in the UK, it was donated to the British Museum in the name of the King of England. It has since been displayed in the Egyptian Pavilion of the British Museum. It is one of the most proud treasures of the British Museum. ! ”
Ye Tian vividly introduced the discovery process of the Rosetta Stone and a series of stories that took place between Britain and France fighting for this priceless treasure!
In fact, everyone at the scene knew these stories, and what he said was more for the people in front of the live broadcast!
People who are watching this live broadcast have different positions because they are in different countries!
British people generally feel a little regretful, but there is nothing they can do about it!
Why are these Rosetta stone fragments not in the UK, but in the hands of that guy Steven? It would be extremely difficult to get those priceless treasures from that guy!
The Egyptians felt extremely angry, gnashing their teeth one by one, and some guys even cursed at the top of their lungs!
Ye Tian’s words reminded them of the humiliating history of becoming a British and French colony, and of the top antiques, cultural relics and works of art stolen by the British and the French, including the Rosetta Stone!
As for people from other countries, they were mostly watching the fun and lamenting Ye Tian’s incredible luck. Why was it that he was not the one who discovered these priceless treasures, but that lucky **** took advantage of them all?
Whether it was the people in Halili Market or the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, they were extremely envious of Ye Tian’s good luck. Their eyes were even red with envy, wishing they could take his place!
Especially the people who do business in Khalili Market and the people who have been to Adel Antique Shop before, all of them regretted and beat their chests, hating themselves for being so blind that they missed such a priceless treasure!
In the antique shop, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then continued his performance!
“It now appears that when the French signed the agreement with the British, they still had a hand in hiding some fragments of the Rosetta Stone and did not hand them over to the British in accordance with the agreement.
These fragments may have been accidentally smashed when the stone tablet was discovered, or they may have fallen off the stone tablet earlier, or they may have been smashed from the stone tablet before the agreement was signed.
After seizing these fragments of the Rosetta Stone, in order to hide them from others and avoid being discovered by the British, the French forged a black pottery statue of Anubis, the **** of death, and hid these fragments inside the statue!
After the Anubis statue was fired, they transported the statue to the City of the Dead in Cairo and placed it in front of a tomb to guard the tomb. I guess that tomb belongs to the French, or even a fake. !
It is estimated that the French planned to come to Cairo in a few years, secretly take out these Rosetta Stone fragments, and smuggle them to France. But for some reason, these French people never came to Cairo again.
At that time, France was fighting everywhere under the leadership of Napoleon, and the situation was very turbulent. The French soldiers who hid these Rosetta Stone fragments may have died on other battlefields, so they did not come to Cairo!
Since then, these fragments of the Rosetta Stone have completely disappeared from people’s sight and have been sleeping in a statue of Anubis in the City of the Dead in Cairo until we came to Cairo to discover them! ”
“Wow! What a wonderful story”
There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, as well as on the street outside the antique store and in front of countless live broadcasts.
People were deeply attracted by the story told by Ye Tian and were filled with emotion!
“Your speculation is very reasonable, Steven. To a certain extent, we have to thank the French for keeping these Rosetta Stone fragments in Egypt instead of giving them to the British, thus avoiding these Priceless treasure lost overseas! ”
Ahmed continued, and other Egyptians at the scene nodded in agreement.
The British people who were watching the live broadcast all rolled their eyes, but they were helpless. After all, this is no longer the period of the empire where the sun never sets!
Next, Ye Tian introduced the significance of the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and the historical and cultural value of this famous stone!
The Rosetta Stone is known as the key and key foundation for interpreting ancient Egyptian civilization. Its value can be imagined. It is a priceless treasure!
Although these fragments hidden in the statue of Anubis are not large in size, the value of each fragment is immeasurable and they are all truly priceless treasures!
After introducing these contents, Ye Tian stopped talking, participated in the research, and discussed in low voices with the Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts, asking about the meaning of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the fragments of the stone tablet!
During this period, he blocked the attempts of those Egyptian experts and scholars, Ahmed and others to take pictures with their mobile phones, and did not allow the two live broadcast groups to take frontal pictures of the fragments of the stele!
The reason why he did this is very simple!
These Rosetta Stone fragments are now his private property. Every ancient Egyptian hieroglyph engraved on them is worth tens of thousands of gold and has great historical and cultural research value. Naturally, it cannot be disclosed casually!
Only after completing relevant academic research or transferring these priceless treasures can their photos be released!
These Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts on site can enjoy and study on site, and remember as much as they can, but they are not allowed to take pictures or keep pictures!
For his decision, all the Egyptians at the scene were filled with hatred, but they were helpless. Who could let these priceless treasures not belong to them!
After admiring and studying these Rosetta Stone fragments for a while, Ye Tian stood up.
At this moment, Ahmed suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
“Steven, what are you going to do with these Rosetta Stone fragments? Many people are very concerned about this issue, and I want to hear your thoughts!”
Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then said with a smile:
“It’s too early to talk about how to deal with these Rosetta Stone fragments. What I’m more concerned about is how to transport these priceless treasures safely. You also know the situation outside!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed toward the door of the antique shop.
At this time, the street outside the antique store was completely boiling.
Even the entire Khalili Market is like a boiling pot. Everyone is paying attention here, paying attention to these Rosetta Stone fragments!
