Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1844 Another Crown

"This is a statue of Godfrey of Bouillon, the faithful guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, founder of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and brother of the kingdom's first king, Baldwin I.

After the creation of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Godfrey of Bouillon rejected the title of king, and his brother Baldwin I took over as king, officially opening the history of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

In the history of Christianity, Godfrey of Bouillon is a very important figure. His statues and other relics are very few, and each of them is very valuable.”

Ye Tian pointed to a statue of a statue two or three meters ahead and said, giving a positive appraisal conclusion.

"Wow! It's actually a statue of Godfrey of Bouillon. There is no doubt that this is a priceless top-level antique relic. There is a statue of Godfrey of Bouillon in the Vatican, which is much worse than this one. !"

The bishop of Kent said with emotion, the expression on his face was both excited and painful.

Another priceless antique relic was about to fall into the hands of this guy, Steven, but he could only stand by and watch helplessly.

After giving the identification conclusion, Ye Tian and David worked together to roughly clean up the moss and dust on the statue in front of him.

At the same time, the rest of the employees of the Fearless Exploration Company were constantly busy, cleaning up the dust and moss that fell on various items, and opening boxes that had been dusty for a long time.

Following their series of actions, surprises appeared one after another, and the cheers that resounded throughout the hall almost never stopped, one after another, endlessly!

More than 700 years ago, the things that the Knights Templar tried so hard to hide in this hall are now presented to everyone one by one.

In addition to the two Christian holy relics and many priceless antique relics discovered before, everyone has discovered many things one after another, each of which is of great value!

Most of these are the relics of the Knights Templar, including boxes of gold coins and gold utensils, a large number of dazzling jewelry and diamonds, as well as some personal items with special significance, as well as special weapons and equipment, etc.

The other part is items from the court of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, including gold and silver utensils used by the royal court, as well as some religious sacrificial utensils, which are basically gold products.

It's a pity that apart from a few life-size statues, there isn't much art here.

But it's also very reasonable,

In reason, every member of the Knights Templar is a professional soldier, fighting and killing on the battlefield all day long, where there is time to study art.

Even if a valuable work of art is placed in front of their eyes, the professional soldiers of the Knights Templar don't know it, not only won't cherish it, they may even discard it like a shoe, and dismiss it!

In the era they lived in, apart from the sharp sword in their hands and the war horse under their crotch, probably only gold and silver could move their hearts!

During the conversation, more than an hour has passed.

Most of the items stored in this hall by the Knights Templar have been cleared out, and the cleaning work is gradually coming to an end.

Suddenly, Jason's excited voice sounded and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Steven, come and take a look, we found another crown, different from the previous crown of Baldwin IV, maybe it is another crown of the King of Jerusalem!

This crown is also made of gold, packed in a box, and packed together with some golden utensils, and those golden utensils are engraved with the logo of the Kingdom of Jerusalem! "

"Shua!"

Everyone in this hall turned their heads to look at Jason and the others, and everyone was extremely excited.

Especially the Bishop of Kent and the other two senior priests from the Vatican, when they heard Jason's words, they immediately exclaimed excitedly, and almost fainted on the spot!

Another crown of the kingdom of Jerusalem, if it is real, then there is no doubt that this is another Christian relic, and the happiness comes too violently!

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian immediately put down a handful of silver jugs in his hand, and quickly walked towards Jason and the others.

Behind him, the Bishop of Kent and David followed immediately, and the rest of the people at the scene stopped what they were doing and stared at Ye Tian and the others.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had arrived in front of Jason and the others.

Before he could stand still, he looked at the golden crown that Jason had taken out of the box and held in his hands.

The Bishop of Kent and David followed closely, and then stood aside, staring closely at Ye Tian and the crown in Jason's hands, their expressions were both excited and a little apprehensive!

This is a crown made of gold. Compared with Baldwin IV's crown of thorns, it has a more common shape. It is a mountain-shaped crown with a huge ruby ​​inlaid on the top of the crown.

On the forehead of this golden crown, a cross is engraved, and a line of curlicue Latin is engraved on each edge of the two sides. The meaning is unknown. The inner ring of the crown is also engraved with a line of curlicue Latin.

However, looking inside and outside the golden crown, you can't see the unique symbols of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Pretending to examine the golden crown carefully, Ye Tian said in a slightly regretful tone:

"This golden crown is not the king's crown of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. According to my speculation, it is very likely to be the crown of the Principality of Antioch, which was made in the middle of the 13th century.

During the First Crusade, the European feudal lords established a principality in today's Turkey and part of Syria, with Antioch as its capital, so it is called the Principality of Antioch!

Antioch is a holy place of Christianity and one of the original four bishoprics. The Principality of Antioch was a natural ally of the Kingdom of Jerusalem from its establishment until its demise in 1268.

It is not difficult to understand why the crown of the Duke of Antioch appeared here. After the failure of the siege of Acre in 1291, the Knights Templar retreated to Cyprus for the second time.

It is estimated that during that retreat, they brought the relics of the Principality of Antioch to Cyprus and hid them here. Of course, it is also possible that they brought the crown to the island before!

On the inside and outside of this golden crown, there are a few lines of curlicue Latin inscribed, I believe it is enough to explain the origin of this golden crown, Bishop of Kent, please interpret these curlicue Latin! "

As he said that, Ye Tian turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, and gave up his position.

How could the Bishop of Kent be polite at this time, he immediately stepped forward, took the golden crown from Jason, and looked at the lines of cursive Latin on the crown with hope.

When he saw the contents of those Latin records, his expression immediately changed, and disappointment immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes were also full of disappointment.

"This is indeed not the crown of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and naturally it is not a Christian sacred object. Steven's identification is very accurate. It is indeed the crown of the Principality of Antioch.

The curlicue Latin on the inner circle of the crown clearly states that this golden crown belongs to Bohemond VI, the last Duke of Antioch, and was used by him when he ascended the throne.

Although this is not the crown of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, its historical significance is still very important. The demise of the Principality of Antioch directly led to the last Crusade in the Middle Ages! "

The Bishop of Kent said with a smile, but the disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and he was trembling with distress.

Another priceless treasure! Seeing that it is about to fall into the hands of this guy, Steven, can you not make people feel distressed?

Hearing Bishop of Kent's words, Jason and David were also a little disappointed, but Ye Tian beside him smiled brighter than Hua'er.

Next, everyone admired the golden crown of the Principality of Antioch for a while, and then carefully put it back into the box, ready to continue exploring!

At this moment, Cole's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie and reached everyone's ears.

"Steven, we fought with the Turks. Those guys sent a few people to try to sneak in from the back of the castle. Our guys found out, and the firefight started immediately!"
