Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1498 Cat God Worship

"How is it possible? The golden mask of the cat god Best, did I hear correctly?"

Amidst the exclamation, many professionals in the field of Egyptian antique art rushed to the TV or computer screen, their eyes widened, staring at the golden mask in Ye Tian's hands, almost crazy!

At the same time, the same scene was happening in the Forbidden City, the Louvre, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, and other world-renowned museums.

The cat-faced golden mask in Ye Tian's hands and what he said have caused a huge sensation in the field of antique art collections in the world, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

For this situation, Ye Tian had already expected it the moment he took the cat-face gold mask out of the red sandalwood box, and it was bound to happen.

After carefully appreciating the cat-faced golden mask in his hand, Ye Tian began to introduce this top-level antique artwork under countless eagerly looking eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I said just now that this is the golden mask of the cat god Best from ancient Egypt 2,600 years ago, of course there is a certain basis, it is not just nonsense!

As you can see, this cat face mask is made of high-purity gold, which has very obvious characteristics of ancient Egyptian culture, and the gold mask is embedded with various gemstones and stained glass!

If you are familiar with the treasure of the National Museum of Egypt and the national treasure of Egypt, the golden mask of Tutankhamun, you will find that there are many similarities between these two faces!

Their craftsmanship is almost identical, and both are very exquisite and charming. Of course, the golden mask of the cat god Best is far from being comparable to the golden mask of Tutankhamun.

Let’s talk about the shape of this cat god mask. It is based on a slender and tall Egyptian cat. It has clever eyes, seems to be looking around, and has a mysterious atmosphere.

On the top of the head of this cat face gold mask, there is a scarab carved, and a beautiful gold earring is worn on the left ear, these are the image characteristics of the cat god Best!

If you know something about ancient Egyptian culture, you will know that scarabs and gold earrings symbolize the protective power of the goddess Best, which is the most powerful identification basis!

As for the birth date of this cat face gold mask, as I said just now, it comes from the middle and late 26th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, that is, 2600 years ago, with a very long history!

As a well-known expert in the identification of top antique works of art,

I am extremely confident in my ability to judge the age of antique works of art, and it is absolutely impossible for me to make any mistakes in this respect!

Therefore, I can say with great certainty that the Golden Mask of Cat God Best is definitely a priceless national treasure antique artwork, perhaps the most valuable treasure in this shipwreck treasure!

Matisse, push the searchlight a little closer, let those professionals who are watching this live broadcast appreciate this national treasure antique artwork, I believe they will find something! "

"No problem, Steven"

Mathis nodded in response, and then swam to Ye Tian's side, using the searchlight in his hand to directly shine on the golden mask of the cat god Best!

The live broadcast screen suddenly lit up and became clearer!

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

Almost everyone was amazed again, and those professionals were even more exaggerated, and fell into a state of ecstasy in an instant.

As Ye Tian slowly turned his right hand, more details of the cat god Best's golden mask were presented on the live broadcast screen and in front of everyone's eyes!

It only took a moment for those professionals in the field of antique art collection on the live broadcast to confirm that the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian was accurate and beyond doubt!

This is the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat god Best. It is a priceless national treasure antique artwork. No matter which museum it is placed in, it is the treasure of the town hall!

After confirming this point, the field of antique works of art suddenly became more lively. Everyone was discussing excitedly like chicken blood, and the focus was naturally the golden mask of the cat god!

Many professionals in Egypt were even more excited, almost crazy!

The eyeballs of these guys turned red in an instant, and they all wished they could rush to the bottom of the English Channel immediately, snatch the golden mask of the cat god from Ye Tian's hands, and take it as their own!

But they also know that this is simply impossible.

Don't even think about getting the cat god's golden mask from that greedy bastard Steven without paying a huge price! That is a master who never loses money, and has never done a loss-making business!

There is almost no possibility of claiming the cat god's golden mask from Steven. The poor Spaniard is a lesson from the past. Are they going to return a gold coin?

It's probably the stupidest idea to rob Steven that guy and get back the cat god's golden mask.

There is only one result of doing that, not only can't get the golden mask of the cat god, but it is very likely that many lives will be lost on my own side, and it will incur bloody revenge from that bastard Steven!

Who doesn't know, that is a bastard who has no taboos and will get revenge. Killing people is like slaughtering a chicken. Only when you are bored with life will you provoke that crazy bastard!

Thinking of this, many Egyptians couldn't help but have a splitting headache. For a while, they couldn't think of any feasible solution!

After displaying the cat god Best's golden mask over and over again, Ye Tian was about to put away the mask and continue to explore other things in the wooden crate.

At this moment, Chandler's excited voice suddenly came from the earphone.

"Steven, can you evaluate the value of this golden mask of the cat god Best? I think everyone is very interested in how much this ancient Egyptian artifact is worth.

In addition, can you introduce the cat god Best and the reason why this golden mask was born? You don't know much about this, and you want to know it! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped what he was doing.

After pondering for a while, he smiled and said:

"I can't give an exact valuation for this ancient Egyptian cat god Bastet's gold mask, because this top-notch antique work of art is priceless at all, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

Here, I can introduce to you the worship of the cat god in ancient Egypt and the possible reasons for the birth of the golden mask of the cat god Best, so that you can learn some relevant knowledge"

"That's great, Steven, we're all ears!"

Chandler responded, still very excited.

Countless live streaming sites suddenly fell silent, everyone thought Ye Tian's explanation must be very interesting.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"You may have heard that cats living in ancient Egypt are the happiest cats in the world. They are carefree, enjoy delicious food, and can enjoy treatment like gods!

Imagine living in a place and a time when threats lurk around every corner of your home, with poisonous snakes in pots, mice in barns, and scorpions in cradles.

This time and place is ancient Egypt. At that time, people were surrounded by dangers, but there was an animal that could make people's living environment safer, and it was a cat.

It is precisely because of the help provided to people in life, coupled with the tradition of worshiping foreign gods in ancient Egypt, slowly, ancient Egypt developed the worship of cat gods, and everything is logical!

In ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun god once turned into a cat and defeated the giant python Apophis who prevented the sun from rising in the east and setting in the west. Because of this, the ancient Egyptians regarded cats as the incarnation of gods.

As early as the second dynasty of Egypt, around 2890 BC, worship of the cat god Best appeared in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta region. She was once the goddess of war in Lower Egypt.

After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the priesthood of the cat god Bester changed, gradually transforming from the god of war to the patron saint of the family, which symbolized the warmth and joy of the family and was widely loved by the ancient Egyptians.

At the same time, the image of the cat god Best has also changed, mainly appearing in the image of a cat-faced woman. Regarding this, it can be seen from this mask that it is somewhat charming and enchanting!

During the period of Greek rule, the priesthood of the cat god Best changed again, transforming into a god representing the moon, who was as famous and revered as the god of hunting Artemis.

Later, during the reign of the Roman Empire, especially with the rise of Christianity, the ancient Egyptian tradition of worshiping foreign gods was gradually annihilated and disappeared in the long river of history.

In the history of ancient Egypt, people not only kept and loved cats, but also buried cats generously, giving them the greatest honor after death, making them into mummies and statues.

The Brooklyn Museum in New York has a large collection of ancient Egyptian cultural relics, many of which are collections of cats, mummies and statues, which reflect the worship of cat gods by the ancient Egyptians.

In addition, in the British Museum, we can also see many cat mummies and various statues of cats, the most famous of which is the bronze statue of the cat god Best!

Statues of the cat god Best are relatively common, and there are statues from various periods in ancient Egypt, but as far as I know, the only golden mask of the cat god Best is this one!

Due to the limited time, I will say so much about the cat god worship of the ancient Egyptians. If you want to know more about it, you can search it online or go to the library to learn it!

Well, we are going to continue our exploration. After the golden mask of Cat God Best, I believe there are more surprises waiting for us. I also look forward to discovering miracles again! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian put the golden mask of the cat god in his hand into the red sandalwood box, then put the red sandalwood box into a sealed bag, and tied it to himself.

Like the previous golden crown, he is going to bring this cat god golden mask to the sea himself, and then bring it back to New York!

He had just packed the golden mask of the cat god Best, when Raymond impatiently stretched out his hand and hugged the statue out of the wooden crate.

As soon as the statue appeared, there was a sound of exclamation on the live broadcast.

"My God! It's actually a golden statue of the cat god Best. Could it be that this box is full of gold products related to the cat god Best? It's simply too exaggerated!"
