Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The discovery of the replica of the discus thrower obviously made everyone excited, so at night when it was not suitable for digging, everyone gathered in the temporarily commandeered living room to watch Liang En repair these statues.

There is no doubt that the restoration work, especially the restoration work of this type of historical cultural relics, is a very complicated matter. Under normal circumstances, it requires a complete set of equipment and a sufficient number of professionals to go through a long period of work.

The reason why everyone is gathered in the living room now is because Liang En decided to use his extraordinary power to put the pieces back together at this time.

As for the Carrara marble they needed, they came from the castle. They found several clearly abandoned Carrara marble flower stands and shelves in a warehouse.

After realizing that these items were modern products produced in the 1960s and 1970s and not antiques, they quickly smashed these discarded items with the tools they carried with them to use them as materials for subsequent restoration work.

When everything was ready, Liang En activated a [Repair (R)] and then looked at the pile of things in front of him. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the pile of things in front of him was not 3 to 4 sculptures, but only two. indivual.

The reason for such a large error is that after Liang En saw that the entire sculpture was so badly broken, he subconsciously thought that the remaining parts should be damaged as a whole, so the volume was calculated as 60% to 70% of a normal sculpture.

But now it seems that although these sculptures are indeed seriously broken, at least the overall volume is still intact, so most of the entire sculptures are here.

It would be extremely complicated for other historians to recover. Because many marble fragments are only about the size of a thumb, and it is basically impossible to tell what they originally looked like.

In this case, if you want to restore it, you need to invest a lot of experience and time and make repeated attempts. It may often take several years to complete the restoration work.

But for Liang En, the current job is very simple. He only needs to use the power of cards to gather all the fragments belonging to the same sculpture together, and then consume the cards to restore these fragments.

Because of the effect of the cards, they collected all the fragments that could be collected. In addition to these found fragments, Liang En also took out about 1m of soil containing fragments from the large pit outside.

It is not an easy task to find things from the large pit that is more than 2m and 3m deep at night. Fortunately, four people worked together and finally completed the work in a short period of time.

Fortunately, they didn't need to pick out the gravel pieces one by one. They just had to gather all the dirt wrapped in gravel together and then use a small cart to pull it into the castle.

Relative to complicated preparations. Liang En's subsequent restoration process was not difficult. With the use of cards, a large amount of light enveloped the original pieces piled there and the previously prepared marble materials.

The repair this time was obviously much more complicated than the repair of those previous gadgets, so the entire light lasted for more than half an hour before gradually disappearing.

After the light disappeared, what appeared in front of everyone was a building of about 1m5. The young man stood there with his hands clenched in front of his chest in a lunge. The only clothing on his body was a layer of cloth wrapped around his hands.

"This should be a boxer." After taking a first look, Liang En recognized what the statue was carving, because it was obviously the attire of a boxer in the ancient Olympic Games.

Different from the modern Olympic Games, the ancient Olympic Games had relatively few events, mainly traditional racing, wrestling, pentathlon, boxing, chariot racing, etc. At the same time, they wore absolutely no clothes during the competition.

For this reason, the ancient Olympic Games can basically be regarded as a purely male event, but women at that time also had their own Gaia Festival and held competitions at the festival.

"This is definitely a masterpiece." Looking at the restored marble statue, Mary gently stretched out one of her hands to touch the sculpture while murmuring in her mouth.

“It’s hard to imagine that someone could create such a masterpiece two thousand years ago. Look at the muscle lines and bones on the sculpture. This sculpture method was lost in the Middle Ages and was only rediscovered during the Renaissance—— "

Marie Antoinette's love for art was absolutely real. So for her, after seeing such exquisite works, she was naturally attracted to it.

"Yes, it is indeed an artistic masterpiece from the ancient Greek era. Although this thing is only an imitation from the ancient Roman era, it basically replicates the core spirit of the original work." Liang En nodded.

After receiving the inheritance from a series of art masters, Liang En's art appreciation is no less than that of most so-called art appreciators, so it is natural to see the level of this sculpture.

After a thorough inspection of the sculpture, they found raised text on the base and the name: Milon, which proved that the sculpture and the discus thrower were made by the same person.

This sculptor named Milon was active from about 480 BC to 440 BC. Although he was born in Eleuthera, he basically worked in Athens, the cultural center of ancient Greece at that time, as an adult. He was one of the famous sculptors in the Greek classical period. .

He was good at making bronze statues, and his works broke through the rigid forms of sculpture in the ancient period, transforming the Greek sculpture style from the rigid Egyptian style to the simulation of human beings, pushing the art of Greek sculpture to a new peak. Especially the details.

He is good at grasping the precise structure of the human body and its changing relationship during movement, and achieving balance and harmony between the spirit and body. Considered the founder of the classical period, the golden age of Greek art.

Therefore, his works have been regarded as the top works of art in the following days. For example, in the 2nd century AD, the Roman emperor who admired ancient Greek civilization ordered his most famous work "The Discus Thrower" to be recreated.

It now appears that there were definitely more than three replicas ordered by the Roman emperor, and they were not limited to the discus thrower. However, such things are generally rarely recorded, so it is reasonable to suddenly discover the sculpture here.

After the boxer sculpture was repaired, Liang En simply repaired it for 15 minutes, and then used today's second [Repair (R)] card to repair the replica of the discus thrower.

Like the first sculpture, the second sculpture was also successfully repaired. When both works were completely repaired, Liang En quickly used his extraordinary power to merge them into one body when they were just stuck together.

This change will not affect the appearance and historical value of the entire sculpture, but the sturdiness of the sculpture has been improved by more than one level. It can be regarded as a higher-level restoration. Unfortunately, this is a unique skill that others cannot learn.

"So we should be very busy tomorrow." After completing the final inspection, Liang En took two steps back and pointed at the sculpture in front of him and said to the three ladies present.

"If the fragments that are randomly discarded outside are so valuable, what is buried underneath will definitely exceed our imagination. I firmly believe this."
