Thomas◎Owen◎Glendower felt like his lungs were going to explode! As a British archaeologist, he came to Hong Kong on vacation just because he heard that there was a batch of new cultural relics on display at the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

He had nothing to do, so he decided to visit with his friends. However, he did not expect that all the cultural relics on display in the cultural relics museum were British cultural relics! In the entire exhibition hall, there were more than 200 cultural relics on display.

Items, including coins, ornaments, religious items, weapon accessories and many other types! What particularly surprised Thomas was that most of these cultural relics were products of the Anglo-Saxon period. They were decorated with intricately carved patterns with obvious Anglo-Saxon style.

Most of these patterns are decorated with rare birds and animals. They are either staggered or superimposed, or have claws and claws connected with each other. The carvings are so lifelike that it is hard to put them down.

For example, this garnet-encrusted ornament was originally used to decorate the hilt of a sword. In Britain during the Dark Ages, this ornament was used to display the social status and honor of the king or a senior knight. Its appearance proves that

At that time, the craftsmanship of metal products had reached perfection. In Thomas's eyes, this is the most outstanding work of metal craftsmen from the Anglo-Saxon period that has been discovered so far. It is not difficult to see from this ornament that the craftsmanship of metal products at that time was

The craftsmen's production skills are very superb. Tiny garnets are cut and polished into the required shapes and then embedded in a large number of small spaces to obtain a sparkling effect, which seems to modern people. They were able to make it at that time.

At this point, it is really incredible.

There is also a strip of gold on display here, with a clearly engraved Latin inscription from the Bible: "Revolt, my lord! May the gods bless your enemies and those who hate you, be driven out!"

.From this sentence and its pattern style, Thomas estimated that its creation background should be a period between 500 AD and 1000 AD. It was a dark age in British history, and the entire UK was

Caught in the midst of war and chaos, people of that era most needed this kind of psychological comfort and divine blessing.

Many of the artifacts on display in the exhibition hall are weapon accessories. Among them, Thomas saw the decorated golden horse head and sword hilt guard on the warrior's helmet. Some of them were inlaid with gems. Although they have gone through a long history, they still look good under the light.

sparkling.

Among the exhibits, Thomas also saw a reliquary, which was also a religious ornament. The figure carved on the front of this square pendant seemed to be the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. Her hands were holding a cross, and in front of her was a tall and majestic saint.

Temple, behind which are five 'bleeding hearts', a kind of flower at that time. Around the reliquary are the names of Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar engraved. In the New Testament of the Bible.

It was these three wise men who came to Bethlehem under the guidance of the Star of Bethlehem to witness the birth of Jesus Christ.

This reliquary pendant is entirely made of gold. Judging from the carving style of its pattern, it can be traced back to at least the early 15th century. Based on its quality, Thomas initially judged that its owner should be a member of the British Church at that time.

A high-ranking priest or a member of the royal family.

Thomas also saw a lot of things like this in the exhibition hall. Seventy to eighty percent of the cultural relics on display in the entire exhibition hall were gold jewelry!

Later, in an interview with the British "The Times" and other media, Thomas described his mood at the time in an extremely excited tone. "When I first saw them, I was stunned. I kept thinking about them over and over again.

Maybe after carefully observing them and determining the number on display, I can't describe in words how excited I was at that time! Although the historical location of these cultural relics in the exhibition hall at that time was relatively rough, but

Those experts are obviously the same as me. They believe that these cultural relics, especially those gold products, demonstrate the most perfect craftsmanship in Britain during the Anglo-Saxon period. Yes, you heard it right. They represent the precious metal manufacturing craftsmen of the Anglo-Saxon period.

They are at their highest level! Even today, I still say that they are a group of people with superb skills and superb craftsmanship!"

"I would say that their appearance is the most important discovery I have ever seen personally, and it is also one of the important discoveries in the history of British cultural relics! These cultural relics on display in the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, regardless of their quantity,

The quality and variety have reached a level that astonished me. Before that, I thought that except for a few museums such as the British Museum, there was nothing that could compare with them! Although among the cultural relics on display,

A large part of them should be war supplies at that time, but I still want to say that although they reflect war, they are still extremely beautiful! It is obvious that at that time, their owner must be the highest-ranking Saxon

Nobles are even royalty! I would say that their appearance is as significant to our study of British history in the Anglo-Saxon period as the discovery of the new "Book of Kells", and its influence is as great as Sutton Hoo's.

The discovery of ancient tomb ruins is comparable!”

The Book of Kells, as Thomas calls it, is one of the most exquisite medieval manuscripts in Ireland. The beautiful illustrations in it represent the highest achievement of Celtic art in medieval Ireland. As for the Sutton Hoo tomb site, in the UK

It was discovered that it should be a tomb in the early seventh century AD. A large number of cultural relics from that time were found from it, and the most eye-catching one is an exquisite knight's helmet. So far, the best helmet of the same period has been found in Britain.

, there are only four of them! Its preciousness is self-evident!

Such precious British cultural relics did not appear in the British Museum of History, but in the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Thomas was a little surprised. When they reached the end and approached the exit, they found that under the cultural relics

The notice of the museum clearly mentioned that this batch of cultural relics were owned by the Fang family of Huaxia Pingchuan and were given to the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for display for a month! At this time, Thomas' anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head. He

I originally thought that these cultural relics were owned by the British and given to the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong for display.

"Please give me the contact information of the Pingchuan Fang family in China!" Thomas shouted angrily. He had told the other party several times, but the other party always replied with no comment.

"These cultural relics are precious historical properties of the British Empire, and they should not be left outside!" Thomas and his companions whispered, "I think we should contact each other and see if we can bring them all back to the UK. I

I don’t think the British Museum would mind paying to buy them all back!”

"Chairman Yu? When did you come?" At this moment, the person in charge of the cultural relics museum accidentally looked up and saw Yu Qiuxia beside him, and hurriedly came over with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Director Luo, we are here to take a look at the exhibition!" Yu Qiuxia said with a smile, "Are there many people coming to visit?"

"Yes, the number of people who came to visit was beyond our expectation!" Director Luo said proudly, "According to our statistics, the number of citizens and foreign tourists who came to visit in the past two days has exceeded seven

Thousands of people. In order to ensure order in the museum, we have to take some measures to control the number of visitors in the museum." No wonder he is so proud. The number of seven thousand people is already quite a number for the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Stunning numbers.

Yu Qiuxia nodded slightly and said: "Director Luo, you must pay attention to the protection measures of cultural relics and make sure there are no mistakes. You must also control the number of visitors and never be careless." Although Hong Kong's security is good, but every year

Cases of theft of cultural relics occur from time to time. Items of this small size and high value can be said to be the most popular among thieves!

"Chairman Yu, please rest assured, we must be very careful!" Director Luo said categorically. If any accident occurs during the visit, and if there are casualties, he, the curator, will also bear the blame!

"Let me introduce to you, this is Fang Mingyuan from the Pingchuan Fang family, and these are all his friends. Mingyuan, he is Luo Haotian, the curator of the Art Museum of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a famous collector and archaeologist in Hong Kong

." Yu Qiuxia introduced the two of them, "Director Luo, these cultural relics belong to Mingyuan!"

Luo Haotian, who had been sizing up Fang Mingyuan and the others, his eyes immediately lit up. When he got this batch of cultural relics for display, he heard from the board of directors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong that the owner of this batch of cultural relics was Fang.

Mr. Fang, the most mysterious person in the family, has heard a lot about Mr. Fang, who is considered a member of Hong Kong’s upper class society. He is a self-made legend among the younger generation! The Hong Kong Kumho Film Group he founded is now

It has become the leader of Hong Kong film industry!

"Young Master Fang, I have heard of your name a long time ago. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Today is my long-cherished wish!" Luo Haotian stretched out his hand to shake Fang Mingyuan's hand and said, "Nice to meet you!"

"Thank you!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He had no impression of Luo Haotian except what Yu Qiuxia just introduced, so he had nothing to compliment him on.

"It can be seen that Director Luo has considered everything carefully, so I feel relieved!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. The British cultural relics on display are part of the batch of British cultural relics they secretly brought back from the UK.
