Treasure Hunt all over the World

Ye Tian pretended to carefully inspect the four boxes, and after making sure that there were no traps in these boxes, he took the pressure tongs and was about to open the four cratered boxes.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian cut off the rusty locks on the four wooden boxes one by one.

Afterwards, he handed the pressure clamp to Jason who was standing beside him, and put his hand on the first box on the right.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone was staring at his every move and the wooden box under his hand. Everyone was full of anticipation and excitement.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, and then carefully opened the dusty wooden box.

There were no traps, no dangers, just a dazzling golden light, which made everyone on the scene dizzy.

This is a box full of gold products. To be precise, it should be a box of medieval Arabic-style gold products. On top of it is an Arabian cavalry helmet decorated with a lot of gold.

The so-called Arab cavalry helmet has a strong Arab cultural color compared to the Crusader knight helmet of the same period. It is not as tightly wrapped as the Crusader knight helmet, and it is more open!

Seeing the box full of gold products, everyone at the scene couldn't help being stunned, staring at the dazzling gold products in the box, all stunned.

After a while, everyone just woke up, and the scene suddenly boiled.

"Wow! It's actually a box of gold products, and the style of these gold products is so special, it's very different from the gold products found in the previous treasures of the Knights Templar!"

"These gold artifacts should come from the Arabian region, and the Arabic text on them is evidence. Why did the Knights Templar collect so many Arabic-style gold artifacts and bury them solemnly?"

Just as everyone was talking, the archaeologist from Lisbon suddenly exclaimed.

"The helmet of the Mamluk cavalry, the Arabic-style cavalry helmet with exquisite carvings and inlaid with a lot of gold, the user is the famous Mamluk cavalry in history"

Following this exclamation, everyone at the scene looked at the golden Arab cavalry helmet in the box, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.

Ye Tian stretched out his hand to pick up the helmet, checked it carefully over and over again, and then said loudly with a smile:

"The Mamluk cavalry are all slaves, they can't afford such a luxurious cavalry helmet, and the helmet of the Mamluk cavalry cannot be treated so seriously by the rival Knights Templar.

To be precise, the owner of this golden helmet should be the owner of all Mamluk cavalry. Please see here, this is the emblem of the Ayub family in Tikrit, Iraq, which is very clear.

Although I don't know Arabic, and I don't know the meaning of the Arabic words chiseled on this helmet, but I can identify the owner of this golden helmet just by this Ayyub family's coat of arms!

The owner of this golden helmet is none other than Saladin who is regarded as a hero by the entire Muslim world, and only the golden helmet of the great Saladin will be regarded as a treasure by the Knights Templar! "

While saying these words, Ye Tian pointed to a badge engraved on the right edge of the cavalry helmet for everyone to see.

Before the words fell, the scene was completely fried.

"My God! Saladin's golden helmet, is it real? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"How is this possible? The Knights Templar were defeated by Saladin. They were driven out of the holy city of Jerusalem by the army led by Saladin. Since then, they have declined. How could they have Saladin's golden helmet?"

Just when David and the others were exclaiming, the Lisbon archaeologist fell into a daze and muttered to himself.

"The coat of arms of the Ayub family in Tikrit, Iraq. Is this really Saladin's golden helmet? It's incredible!"

The performance of the crowd,

All of them were seen by Ye Tian.

He raised his hands and pressed down lightly, then smiled and said loudly:

"The Knights Templar were defeated by Saladin, it is true that in the Battle of Harding in 1187, Saladin's army severely damaged the Knights Templar, and then captured the holy city of Jerusalem.

The main force of Saladin's army, and the sharpest knife in his hand, is the famous Mamluk cavalry. After retreating from the holy city of Jerusalem, the Knights Templar began to decline gradually.

It seems that everyone knows about this period of history, but you may not be very clear about some of the history before that. Here I will introduce it to you, starting with Saladin.

Saladin's father was Kurdish. In his early years, he moved from Tbilisi, Georgia, to Tikrit, Iraq, and became the ruler of Tikrit under the title of Sultan Malik Shah of the Seljuk Empire.

In 1138, Saladin was born in Tikrit. In this year, his father was dismissed and forced to defect to the Zanji Dynasty in Mosul. Then, Saladin followed his father around. .

In 1168, under the leadership of King Amalik of Jerusalem, the Crusaders began to attack Egypt. At the request of Egypt, the Zangi Dynasty sent the adult Saladin and his uncle to lead troops to aid Egypt.

It was during this period that Saladin formed his own Mamluk Guards, and until the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Mamluks remained the most powerful cavalry force in the Middle East and the Western world.”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded slightly.

"The Mamluks were a very powerful cavalry unit in the Middle Ages. We know that the Mamluks not only defeated the Knights Templar and other Crusaders, but also defeated the Mongolian cavalry many times later.

To a certain extent, it is precisely because of the existence of the Mamluk cavalry that the Islamic civilization in the Arab region of the Middle East was preserved and was not completely destroyed by the Mongolian army from the east.

During the Middle Ages, the Crusaders represented by the Knights Templar frequently fought against the Mamluk cavalry. "

The Bishop of Kent continued, apparently at a loss.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:

"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, soon I will talk about why this golden cavalry helmet of Saladin is here, let's go step by step, these stories are still very interesting.

Continuing from the topic just now, Saladin, who led the army to support Egypt, quickly gained a foothold in Egypt, and the doves occupied the magpie's nest, and directly overthrew the Fatimid dynasty that ruled Egypt in a coup.

As a result, Aladdin established the Ayyubid Dynasty in Egypt and was temporarily vassalized by the Zanji Dynasty. It was not until 1174 that Saladin took the opportunity to get rid of the shadow of the suzerain and successfully replaced him!

At this point, Saladin successfully became the leader of the entire Muslim world against the Crusaders. In order to expand his strength, Saladin quickly led the army to Syria and Iraq.

In 1177, the proud and mighty Saladin suffered a heavy blow, which was also the most painful and embarrassing defeat in his military career, that is, the famous Battle of Mengiza.

In the Battle of Mongiza, King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem led 80 Templars, more than 300 cavalry, and 6,000 infantry, and decisively launched an attack on Saladin's 30,000 army.

After an extremely cruel and bloody fight, Saladin's army was completely defeated, and his Mamluk guards were almost wiped out. Saladin fled the battlefield in a hurry on a camel.

It is very likely that Saladin lost his cavalry helmet on the battlefield during the Battle of Mongiza, or it may be to escape smoothly and avoid being noticed, he discarded his helmet.

This gold-studded Arab cavalry helmet later fell into the hands of the Knights Templar. With Saladin's status and influence, the Knights Templar would naturally regard this helmet as a treasure.

Let’s talk about this golden helmet. In Saladin’s era, only the great Saladin was qualified to use this kind of gold-studded Mamluk cavalry helmet.

The family crest on the helmet is even more convincing proof that before conquering the holy city of Jerusalem, Saladin had been using the crest of the Ayub family in Tikrit, Iraq.

After he captured the holy city of Jerusalem, he began to use the badge of the first Sultan of the Ayyubid Dynasty in Egypt. That is to say, this family badge strictly defines the age, and there is no one else except Saladin!

In addition to this badge, the Arabic engraved on this helmet will definitely give us a more accurate answer, and I will find someone to translate this Arabic when the exploration operation is over later.”

Speaking of this, Ye Tian carefully admired Saladin's golden cavalry helmet over and over again, and then reluctantly put this priceless treasure back into the box.

After hearing his explanation, everyone at the scene was very sure.

The gold-studded Mamluk cavalry helmet in front of him must be the helmet of the great Saladin, and it is a top-notch antique relic that is priceless.

Even the Portuguese archaeologist in charge of supervision had no objection to Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion.

At this moment, the Portuguese archaeologist was staring at the golden helmet, his eyeballs were already so red that they were about to bleed!

How much he wanted to snatch this priceless treasure directly, hold it in his arms, and take it as his own!
