Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2148 Priceless Treasure

In the new building of the Berlin Museum, Ye Tian is still explaining, and the object of the explanation is still the treasure of the Berlin Museum, the colorful bust of Queen Nefertiti of Egypt.

"This colorful bust is 47 centimeters high and weighs about 20 kilograms. It does not use any organic materials. Although it has a long history of more than 3,300 years, it is well preserved with minimal damage.

The expression technique of the Nefertiti statue is extremely realistic, and it looks like a real person. Its noble and elegant shape, exquisite and beautiful facial features, can be called glamorous, and it is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the world.

The pupil of the right eye of the statue is inlaid with black natural crystal, the white of the eye is chalk rock, and the eye socket is sealed with beeswax. The whole statue is composed of six colors: grey, yellow, green, black, white and skin color.

After discovering the statue, Bohardt, a German Egyptian archaeologist, wrote in his diary that "the color application of this statue is so advanced that it is simply indescribable, and all the words are superfluous."

He also described, "When this polychrome statue was dug up, it had the most vivid artwork in Egypt. This thing is almost intact, except that the ear has been knocked off a little, and the left eye is somewhat missing""

Before the words fell, there was a sound of exclamation at the scene.

"Wow! This sculpture is so beautiful, it's almost mesmerizing"

"No wonder the bust of Nefertiti can become the first cover girl in history. Her facial contours and curves are like a top supermodel. No, she is more beautiful than all supermodels!"

Amidst the exclamation, several high-level executives of the Berlin Museum and experts in the identification of antiques and artworks who accompanied Ye Tian and the others on the tour couldn't help but nodded slightly, secretly admiring each of them.

This bastard Steven is really omniscient and proficient in everything. He has such a thorough understanding of the statue of Nefertiti, which is unbelievable.

After a short pause, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Let's learn more about the life of Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen. As one of the most important and powerful queens in the history of ancient Egypt, Nefertiti's life is extremely legendary.

Nefertiti's background is full of mystery. There are theories that she may be Taduheba, the princess of Mitanni. She was originally betrothed to Amenofes III, but later married his son.

Another school of thought holds that Nefertiti was the daughter of Amenofes III, making Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti half-siblings, but this is credible The degree is not high.

There is also a theory that Nefertiti's father was a senior official in the court of Amenofes III and later became Akhenaten's confidant. In short, Nefertiti was born at the highest level in ancient Egypt.

After Nefertiti married Pharaoh Akhenaten, she assisted her husband in launching unprecedented reforms. They created the Sun Cult, advocated weakening the power of the high priests, and moved the capital to Amana for this reason.

They built a dazzling and prosperous capital in the center of the barren desert of Egypt. It was actually a revolutionary base surrounded by cliffs on three sides and facing the Nile River to fight against the powerful high priests.

In the new capital city of Amarna, Nefertiti and Akhenaten were on an equal footing. She was not only the queen of Pharaoh Akhenaten, but also a ruler with equal status to him, co-regent, and ruled Egypt.

On some existing ancient Egyptian murals, we can still see Nefertiti and Akhenaten each driving a chariot, driving side by side and competing, which has never appeared before Nefertiti.

It was also after Nefertiti that women in ancient Egypt had more freedom and rights. They were valued as much as men, enjoyed the right to a good education, and had the right to inherit property.

Egyptian women could sue for injustice, they had their own minds and heads, they stood up for their own ideas, and these rights were not given to women again until the twentieth century."

"It seems that this is an original feminist, and it is indeed worth remembering"

David said jokingly, and the rest of the audience also smiled and nodded.

Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, then continued:

"Nefertiti is not only a feminist, some people even think that she is better than Akhenaten, because she has the right to execute the enemy, and this punishment has been the right of the Egyptian pharaohs since ancient times.

According to legend, after the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti took over the throne of Egypt. Because of the reforms, they made too many enemies, and Nefertiti could only bear the final price alone.

Just when the country was on the verge of collapse, Nefertiti stepped forward and took a series of emergency measures, sacrificing everything to save the defeat, but the credibility of this legend is not very high..."

While explaining, Ye Tian also turned on perspective, secretly seeing through the colorful sculpture in front of him.

It's a pity that apart from Nefertiti's astonishing beauty, he didn't discover any other hidden secrets.

This colorful sculpture is not a mummy, but just a sculpture. There are no undeciphered mysterious characters on it, and no hidden compartments inside.

As the treasure of the Berlin Museum, this sculpture has been researched extremely thoroughly. Even if there is a secret, it has already been discovered and interpreted. How could it be kept until today!

During the conversation, five or six minutes passed, and Ye Tian's explanation gradually came to an end.

"During her reign, Nefertiti was the most influential woman in Egypt. She was revered by the Egyptian people like a goddess, and she ruled Egypt with her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten.

She is the queen who has appeared the most times in temples and monuments in the history of Egypt, unprecedented, and she is likely to be the high priest, a position traditionally only held by Egyptian pharaohs.

However, almost nothing is known about the life of this stunningly beautiful Egyptian queen. Around 1336 BC, Nefertiti suddenly disappeared from history.

There are many theories about Nefertiti's whereabouts in history. Some say that she was deposed, and some say that she and Akhenaten were overthrown by the people, because the Egyptian people regard the Sun Cult as heresy.

The latter statement is relatively more credible. After Tutankhamun succeeded to the throne, any things that could evoke the memory of Akhenaten and Nefertiti were systematically wiped out, and there were not many things left.

To this day, no funerary objects of Nefertiti have been found in Akhenaten's tomb, suggesting that Nefertiti was never buried there, and the queen's official death record is unavailable.

In Tomb No. 35 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, archaeologists once discovered a severely damaged mummy whose face was completely smashed. This mummy is considered to be Nefertiti.

This act of destruction is an extremely vicious curse in the ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead". Her face was mutilated so that she could not speak her name to the gods and enter the afterlife.

Her shroud was also torn, and the name of the deceased was written on it, allowing the undead to recognize their body. In this way, the soul cannot return, and the deceased will be tortured between life and death.

Nefertiti’s name and many stories have disappeared from historical records inexplicably, her face has been artificially chiselled on many ancient Egyptian murals, and only a few clues remain in the ruins of some ancient temples and palaces.”

"Why--!"

There was a sound of sighing at the scene, and everyone was feeling sorry for Nefertiti's fate.

Such a beautiful queen with a peerless face has such a tragic fate after death, it is indeed a bit too bleak and embarrassing!

Ye Tian's voice didn't stop at all, it still kept coming out, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"In 1912, German archaeologist Bohardt discovered this beautiful and colorful sculpture under the ruins of an ancient building in Amana, Egypt. Once it was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

In the second year, Bohart transported this colorful sculpture of Nefertiti to Germany. After several twists and turns, this priceless treasure came to the Berlin Museum and became the treasure of the Berlin Museum.

This beautiful sculpture is not only the treasure of the Berlin Museum, but also the most beautiful among all the antique works of art in major museums in Germany, and also the treasure with the most artistic and research value.

There is still much controversy surrounding this priceless treasure. From the time the colorful statue was first displayed publicly in the Berlin Museum in 1924, Egypt has made a claim and has never ceased to insist.

However, Germany has always refused to return this extremely beautiful statue. Hitler once said, 'Germany will never return Nefertiti's head. This is a work of art, a treasure, a real treasure',..."

Hearing this, embarrassment flashed across the faces of many Germans at the scene, somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, an employee of Fearless Exploration Company suddenly asked:

"Steven, can you tell me the value of the bust of Nefertiti? It must be an astonishingly high price, right?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the company employee, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, that is indeed a jaw-dropping sky-high price. As I said just now, this colorful sculpture is the most beautiful and most valuable treasure among all the antique works of art in Germany.

The value of such a treasure cannot be measured by money at all. If you have to give a valuation, then this priceless treasure is worth at least 600 million U.S. dollars, with no upper limit! "

Before the words fell, the scene immediately exploded, and the exclamation rang out.

"Oh my god! Did I hear you right? It's worth at least 600 million U.S. dollars, which is too exaggerated!"

"Wow! With 600 million US dollars, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world, and her value is also the most beautiful!"
