Inside the box is a statue of a goddess sitting on a marble platform.
To be precise, this is a statue of Isis, one of the nine-pillar goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Due to its age, the surface of this marble statue has been somewhat weathered and mottled.
Fortunately, this situation is not very serious, nor does it affect the historical value of this statue, and does not affect people's appreciation and research.
This ancient Egyptian statue of the goddess of life is not tall, only about one meter two or three meters tall.
The carved Isis sits on a black marble bench, legs together, his upper body straight, the talisman of life in his left hand, and the lotus staff in his right, staring ahead.
She wore a Hator headdress and topped a pair of huge cow horns, in the middle of which was a rounded sundial with some patterns engraved on it, but it had long since become blurred.
With Elaine's exclamation, everyone was awakened.
The next moment, the live broadcast room opened instantly.
"I'll go! It is actually an ancient Egyptian goddess statue, I am afraid it must have thousands of years of history! How did that Saudi prince get this thing? The
food-loving Kwon Muliu said in amazement.
Before the words fell, Gu Yuetu also said
: "If this goddess statue really comes from ancient Egypt, it is also a priceless treasure based on a history of thousands of years"
At this moment, another fan suddenly said:
"Can anyone give popular science about the relevant situation of this ancient Egyptian goddess of life?" Buddy is confused now
" Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and said:
"In order to increase the knowledge reserve in antique cultural relics and works of art, I happened to study the history of ancient Egypt a few days ago" "
I know a little about the gods in ancient Egyptian mythology, here I will introduce you to this goddess of life!"
Saying that, Xiao Ran admired and studied this sculpture of the goddess of life while popularizing science.
"This statue of the goddess is carved by Isis, the goddess of life in ancient Egyptian mythology, she is also the goddess of magic, marriage and fertility, one of the nine pillars of ancient Egypt" "Isis is regarded as a model of perfect women, is the most important goddess of ancient Egypt, and has also influenced other parts of the Western world, including ancient Greece and ancient Rome" "
Even the image of the Virgin in later Christianity is similar to the image of Isis in ancient Egyptian mythology,
There are inextricable cultural links,...... "
With his introduction, everyone quickly got to know some about the ancient Egyptian goddess of life.
At the same time, everyone recognizes.
A sculpture of an ancient Egyptian goddess with such a lofty status, as long as it is real, it is absolutely priceless.
After realizing this, many people were envious, and even a little red-eyed.
After a while, Xiao Ran finished introducing this ancient Egyptian goddess of life.
Some of the more sensitive content, he only mentioned it, did not go into detail.
For example, Isis and her son Horus, the cultural inheritance relationship with the Virgin Mary and Jesus mother and son, and so on.
However, he gave a detailed account of the worship of Isis in ancient Greece and Rome.
This was done on purpose, in preparation for the next move.
After the introduction, Xiao Ran admired the ancient Egyptian sculpture of the goddess of life again, and then looked at the Saudi vice consul.
"Mr. Vice Consul, I would like to ask, do you know the origin of this statue of Isis, the goddess of life?"
"If you know, can you tell me about it?" I'm interested,"
the Saudi vice consul shook his head slightly.
"I'm very sorry, Sean, I only know that this Goddess of Life statue came from Egypt and was only shipped from Egypt to Monaco three years ago
" "As for who bought this Goddess of Life statue from, how much it cost and other information, we don't know"
Xiao Ran was not surprised, but just a little disappointed.
The Saudi vice-consul and cultural counselor runs errands, but knows it, but does not know why.
Their bosses don't tell them much.
As she was talking, Elaine suddenly interjected and said:
"Sean, there should be no doubt about the authenticity of this statue of the goddess of life
" "From the shape of this statue, especially the headdress of Isis, it can be basically determined that it comes from the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt
" "That is, between 1000 BC and 1500 BC, Isis in this period has been fused with Hathor"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at this beauty and gave a thumbs up directly.
"You are amazing, Elaine, please be one of the wisest decisions I have ever made"
While appreciating, Xiao Ran knew in her heart that Elaine was right.
From the color radiating from this statue of the goddess of life, he could determine that this statue was indeed from the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt.
To be precise, it comes from the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt around 1300 BC.
Elaine can see that this is all due to her family roots and long-term exposure to the Louvre.
In the Louvre, there are many stone sculptures from ancient Egypt.
And her father Pierre happened to be in the sculpture art department, and Elaine had seen countless ancient Egyptian stone sculptures since she was a child.
Because of this, she was able to recognize this sculpture of the Goddess of Life at a glance and accurately determine its age.
Elaine's wonderful performance made Xiao Ran firm in the idea of keeping her around.
Although she is not an expert in antique cultural relics identification, she has a very high appreciation ability and vision, and is undoubtedly her best partner and cover.
While speaking, the Saudi vice consul suddenly interjected.
"Sean, although I don't know the specific origin of this ancient Egyptian statue of the Goddess of Life, it is certain that it is an antique relic with a long history
" "We really want to take back this statue of the Goddess of Life, now you can make an offer, I hope we can reach this deal of antique cultural relics"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at this, but did not immediately respond.
He thought for a moment before he spoke:
"Mr. Vice Consul, this statue of Isis during the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt is undoubtedly a top-level
antique cultural relics, or priceless treasures" "Because it is a sculpture of the ancient Egyptian goddess of life, it is very special and cannot be compared with other antique cultural relics
" "To be honest, it is difficult for me to make a price for this sculpture, because no matter what kind of price is offered, it cannot reflect the value of this statue"
"If I have to make an offer, my offer is 280 million US dollars, I wonder if you can accept it?"
No surprises.
The Saudi vice consul and cultural counselor, as well as the Saudi lawyer, were stunned and looked at Xiao Ran dumbfounded.
David and Elaine did the same, their eyes round.
In the live broadcast room, it is as lively as a pot.
"Me! Xiao Ran's goods are really ruthless, this is to loot the Saudis!
Crescent Wings exclaimed.
"A piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world!" What is this money to the Saudis?
"I guess they will accept it, but Xiao Ran's goods are indeed too dark!"
Wei Wei'an said sharply.
While everyone was talking, several Saudis had come to their senses.
Immediately afterwards, the Saudi vice consul shook his head.
"Sean, this offer is too high, it's hard for us to accept!"
Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"If you can't accept it, then forget it, this offer is non-negotiable!"
"Our cooperation is very pleasant, and a series of transactions are also very smooth!"
"To be honest, as a friend and for your interests, I don't want to sell this statue of the Goddess of Life to you
" "Ah!"
Several Saudis exclaimed in unison, all confused.
"Sean, why do you say that? Is there any particular reason?
Aziz asked in surprise.
Xiao Ran looked at these Saudis and immediately gave an explanation.
"The reason is simple, even if you buy this ancient Egyptian statue of the goddess of life, you can't take it out of the United States and ship it back to Saudi Arabia!"
"Not only you, but any other foreigner, would not be able to take this statue from the United States
" "Ah! Why is that?
Several Saudis asked in unison.
No, everyone in the live broadcast room was confused.
