Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1495 Golden Crown

The metal box was seriously corroded, and Ye Tian took some effort to open it.

When the lid of the metal box was lifted by him, the contents contained in it were presented in front of everyone and also on the live broadcast screen.

The first thing everyone saw was a piece of dark green silk, with a circle of gold embroidered on the edge, and some flowers and plants embroidered on the upward side, which was a bit exotic and quite beautiful!

Even after more than 70 years of time and being soaked in sea water for more than 70 years, the dark green silk still looks noble, elegant and lustrous!

Wrapped in that piece of dark green silk, it seemed to be a boxy box with edges and corners, only a circle smaller than the outer metal box.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately joked and said:

"Hey! It's actually another box. Rommel is really cautious. Don't ask, the things inside this box must be of great value. Let's take a look!"

As he spoke, he put the metal box on a box next to it, then reached in, and took out the box wrapped in dark green satin.

At this time, no matter Matisse and Raymond who were close at hand, or the many audiences in front of the live broadcast, everyone was staring at the box wrapped in dark green satin, and everyone was full of expectations.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian gently lifted the dark green silk and satin, and the box inside was immediately presented in front of everyone.

It was a purple-brown wooden box, square and square, with beautiful wood patterns, and the box was also inlaid with gold borders, each corner was wrapped in gold, and even the buckle was made of gold.

On the top of the box and on every side around it, there are some flower and plant patterns carved, with very obvious characteristics of Arabic culture, which can be seen at a glance!

Ye Tian took off the piece of dark green silk and handed it to Matisse so as not to lose it.

Afterwards, he held up the box in his hand and admired it over and over again, and then said in a slightly excited tone:

"This is a box carefully crafted from African rosewood, with gold edging around it, corners wrapped in gold, carved with flowers and plants, with obvious characteristics of Arabian culture.

It can be seen from the material, gold inlay process and surrounding decoration of this box that the specification of this box is very high, and it should be an item used by the royal family or tribal chiefs.

It can be seen that the items contained in this wooden box must be of extraordinary value, and it may be an antique work of art, but what kind of treasure is it, we will wait and see! "

After finishing the words, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to open the red sandalwood box, his movements were very gentle and cautious.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed on the live broadcast screen, mixed with a deep blue, making everyone dizzy!

"My God! It's a crown, and it's made of gold. Is the gem set on it a sapphire or a blue diamond? It's so beautiful!"

Raymond exclaimed excitedly, his voice trembling.

Not only him, but almost everyone on the two submarines outside the freighter, in the large ships on the sea, and in front of countless live broadcast terminals were exclaiming. Everyone was completely stunned by the scene in front of them!

The thing contained in the red sandalwood box is a round gold crown, with a huge blue gemstone inlaid on the top of the crown, and many diamonds, large and small, and red sapphires dotted around it!

Under the illumination of the strong searchlight, this golden crown radiates an incomparably bright light, which is extremely dazzling and incomparable!

Even Ye Tian, ​​who had seen through perspective several times before, couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded as he held the golden crown in his hand at this time, and admired it secretly!

"Steven, tell me about this crown. I didn't expect to find such a treasure in this freighter. There must be many stories hidden behind it!"

Mathis said excitedly, he had already swam to Ye Tian's side, and was staring at the crown intently, eyes full of fascination!

Ye Tian didn't explain it right away, he carefully reached out and took the crown out of the box, and then handed the red sandalwood box to Matisse.

Next, he held the crown in both hands, slowly rotated it, and admired it carefully.

The same is true for Matisse and Raymond next to them. They leaned forward one after another to admire the dazzling golden crown together!

After carefully admiring the crown, inside and out, Ye Tian stopped turning the treasure in his hand, and then said with a smile:

"To be honest, I didn't expect to find such a treasure in this freighter. It's really a pleasant surprise, and it's worth celebrating!

To be honest, I don't know exactly which country or that tribe this crown came from, but it must have come from Arabia or North Africa, there is no doubt about it!

Regarding this point, it can be seen from the shape of the golden crown and the carved decorations. The 'Crescent Moon' symbol on the top of the crown is undoubtedly the best proof.

In addition, Arabic-style flower and plant patterns can be seen everywhere around the crown, and more importantly, there is a line of Arabic characters engraved inside the crown.

It's a pity that I don't know anything about Arabic. I can only go back and study the specific meaning of this text. This line of text should prove the origin of this crown! "

As he spoke, Ye Tian turned over the golden crown, pointed to the line of Arabic characters inside, and let Matisse and Raymond take a look.

When doing this action, he deliberately avoided the underwater high-definition camera carried by himself and Mathis, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!

Once this line of Arabic text is leaked, no need to think about it, there will be countries or tribes who will jump out and claim that the golden crown belongs to them, and then claim it!

Even if this line of text is not disclosed, of course there will be countries or tribes who will jump out to claim, but they lack the most powerful evidence, so it is inevitable that they lack confidence!

"Wow! There is indeed a line of Arabic script here, but we don't know it!"

Both Matisse and Raymond saw that line of writing, and both were extremely excited.

Chandler and the others in the seven Aurora submarines outside the freighter, as well as countless viewers on the live broadcast end, can only see the inner edge of the golden crown at most, but cannot see the line of text, there is nothing they can do if they are anxious!

Those who coveted the treasure of the shipwreck, especially those from some countries and tribes in North Africa, jumped up and down in a hurry, and were so angry that they cursed Ye Tian crazily!

After showing the line of Arabic characters, Ye Tian immediately straightened the golden crown, and then continued with the introduction.

"Although I don't know which country or tribe this golden crown once belonged to, but one thing I am very sure, from now on, this golden crown belongs only to me, there is no doubt about it!

According to my judgment, this crown should have been made about three hundred years ago. It is a valuable top-level antique artwork. As one of the symbols of royal power, it has a very special meaning!

Why is this crown here? Needless to say, Rommel and his army must have looted from a certain country or tribe in North Africa and planned to smuggle it back to Germany.

Who would have imagined that the freighter transporting this golden crown unfortunately sank in the English Channel, and has been sleeping in this seabed for more than 70 years, until today, until we appear here! "

Hearing this, everyone on the live broadcast end couldn't help but rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.

God must be blind! Only Steven, the extremely lucky bastard, can't see anyone else in his eyes. Is there any reason for all the good things to happen to this bastard?

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Looking at the crown itself, the most precious part is the jewel on the top of the crown. This is a fancy vivid blue diamond, not a sapphire. The quality is close to the top, weighing about thirteen carats.

As you all may know, I bought a rare Fancy Vivid blue diamond in Antwerp, Oppenheimer Blue, weighing about 15 carats, and the final transaction price was 50 million euros.

Compared with the 'Oppenheimer Blue', this Fancy Vivid blue diamond is slightly inferior in terms of quality, cut, fire and other aspects, and the price is naturally impossible to compare.

Except for this Fancy Vivid blue diamond, the other diamonds and red sapphires used for decoration on this crown are also of very good quality, close to the top, but the cut is a little bit off!

This is not difficult to understand. After all, this crown is an antique. The gem cutting technology in North Africa three hundred years ago obviously cannot be compared with modern times. It is normal for such problems to occur.

In addition, the manufacturing process, gem inlay technology, and carving skills of this crown are all worth seeing. Through this crown, you can get a glimpse of the civilization of North Africa three hundred years ago"

As soon as he said this, Chandler's excited voice suddenly came from the earphone.

"Steven, can you evaluate the value of this golden crown? I believe everyone wants to know the answer to this question!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Until I figure out the origin and background of this golden crown, I can't give the most accurate valuation. Its historical and symbolic significance is the greatest value!

Here, I can only make a simple valuation of the crown itself. According to the current market conditions of antique art, the value of this crown should be around 30 million US dollars!

But I am sure that the value of this golden crown is much more than that. Once the meaning of that line of Arabic is understood and its origin is determined, its value will definitely soar! "

Before the voice fell, countless live broadcast terminals were already blown up, and the exclamation rang out.

"My God! Thirty million dollars is an exaggeration!"
