Treasure Hunt all over the World

"Treasure Hunting World ()" Find the latest chapter!

"In the mid-fifteenth century, the famous humanist scholar Valla published "The Discrimination of Constantine's Gift", based on the Bible and historical documents, comprehensively and systematically expounded Constantine from the aspects of grammar and old system. The gifts are forged.

This statement has been supported by many humanist scholars, new sects, and some secular countries, and has become the basis for new sects to attack the Holy See in the Reformation Movement, and has aroused Western scholars' doubts about the Holy See's documents.

Under tremendous pressure, the Holy See was finally forced to admit that Constantine's gift was a forgery! However, Valla did not mention this stele engraved with "Constantine's gift" in his article. Perhaps he did not know the existence of this stele.

The fact that Pope Julius II hid the physical evidence and related documents related to the "Donation of Constantine" was not mentioned in any known documents, so no one knew that there was such a piece A monument of great significance! "

When Ye Tian said these words, a small beetle suddenly flew into this basement, and then flew along the corner of the wall, close to the ground, and flew silently into the secret passage leading directly to the deep underground.

Seeing this scene, a smile flashed across Ye Tian's eyes, and it was so fleeting that no one noticed it.

As his voice fell, the scene fell silent again.

Everyone was silent, and they were quickly digesting his words and this earth-shattering discovery, and they were secretly weighing and thinking.

After a while, it was Ye Tian who broke the silence.

"Gentlemen, after introducing the stele engraved with 'Constantine's Gift', let me introduce the larger stele at the back.

Due to the distance and light, plus the dust and moss on the stone tablet, most of the words carved on that stone tablet are unclear.

However, the ancient Latin engraved on the top of the stone tablet can still be vaguely recognized due to the relatively large font, and I happen to know it.

It’s not just me, I believe many people here have recognized that line of text, the meaning of that line of ancient Latin is the famous ‘Edict of Milan’”

Before the words fell, the scene suddenly boiled.

Even though many people here already recognized that line of ancient Latin, everyone was still shocked when they heard Ye Tian say it himself!

And David, who didn't know the ancient Latin, was undoubtedly more shocked, so much so that they exclaimed directly.

"What? The stone tablet engraved with the Edict of Milan, did I hear correctly?"

"My God! If that is really the Edict of Milan, then there is no doubt that the stele is definitely a heavyweight religious relic!"

Before David's exclamation fell, the Bishop of Kent had already given an affirmative answer.

"You're right, Steven, on the larger stone tablet is indeed engraved with the ancient Latin Edict of Milan. If the specific content of the Edict of Milan is engraved on that stone tablet, then it is a very A religious relic of considerable weight!"

When the Bishop of Kent said these words, his voice was trembling with excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Not only him, everyone at the scene except Ye Tian, ​​why not, everyone here is very excited and proud!

What the Edict of Milan means, they who grew up with Western education couldn't be more clear!

Ye Tian looked at these guys, and then said loudly:

"If there is still doubt about the 'Donation of Constantine', the Edict of Milan is an indisputable historical fact. It is not only a major historical event in Western history, but also a milestone event in the history of Christianity.

The Edict of Milan was issued in 313 A.D. by Emperor Augustus Constantine of the Roman Empire and Licinius, the emperor of eastern Rome. They met in Milan and issued this famous edict together. .

This edict jointly issued by the two emperors of Rome, the East and the West, declared the legitimacy of Christianity.

The Edict of Milan later became the basic law prevailing in the Roman world. Since then, the development of Christianity has shifted from underground to aboveground.

The Edict of Milan officially recognized that Christians have the same right to freedom of belief as other pagans, and returned their confiscated churches and church property, and exempted Christian monks from their obligations to the state.

It also stipulates that bishops have the right to judge church cases. Since then, Christianity has become the legal religion of the Roman Empire and the spiritual pillar of state power. Constantine, who issued this edict, has thus become a Christian saint!

In 380 A.D., the Roman Emperor Theodosius I officially issued an edict declaring Christianity as the state religion of Rome, and at the same time "banned all pagan and superstitious activities". Christianity gradually developed into the only orthodox religion in the Roman Mediterranean.

The official announcement of the Edict of Milan made the status of Christianity unshakable in the West, and began an era of supremacy in the history of Western culture. It cannot be overstated how important the Edict of Milan is to Christianity and the Western world!

By extension, the birth of this stone tablet engraved with the Edict of Milan will cause a huge sensation. If this stone tablet came from 313 A.D. and was carved by Constantine the Great, then it is Religious relics!

In terms of the importance of the Edict of Milan to the development of Christianity, this stone tablet engraved with the Edict of Milan is by no means comparable to ordinary religious sacred objects. It can be regarded as the top Christian sacred object, and it is probably one level lower than the Holy Grail. Bar!

As the person who discovered this underground space and the "Edict of Milan" stone tablet, I feel very honored, but it would be a bit tricky for me to introduce the Edict of Milan. It is best to let the Bishop of Kent introduce it to you "

Speaking of this, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and gestured to the Bishop of Kent, asking the Bishop of Kent to introduce the content of the Milan Edict.

The Bishop of Kent did not refuse. He first calmed down his excitement, and then began to introduce the Edict of Milan, as well as the history and stories related to it.

But Ye Tian walked up to Ian and told them to turn off most of the high-definition cameras carried on the two small drones, leaving only one camera facing the ground, and continuing to hover in the original position to provide lighting for the beetle drone.

That way, they can provide illumination without worrying about exposing the presence of the beetle drone.

A few minutes later, after the Bishop of Kent had roughly introduced the Edict of Milan, Ye Tian called them over and continued to witness the subsequent exploration process.

At this time, the beetle drone controlled by Matisse had already flown into the secret room at the end of the secret passage, and flew in front of the two stone tablets.

The picture taken by the beetle drone was presented on the screen of the IPAD held in Ye Tian's hand, which was relatively clear.

The words engraved on the top of the two stone tablets are also much clearer.

There is no doubt that the content inscribed on the two large and small stone tablets is the legendary and doubtful "Constantine's Gift" and the real "Milan Edict"!

"In order to ensure the unity and security of the empire, ..., there are many important issues that make us worry day and night, but we still don't forget, ..., God! This is really a milestone in the history of Christianity. The Edict of Milan!"

The Bishop of Kent was translating the ancient Latin on the Stele of the Edict of Milan. Even though there were not many words that could be read clearly and the translation was intermittent, it still made him almost crazy with excitement!

Not only him, everyone at the scene except Ye Tian was flushed with excitement at this time, everyone held their heads with their hands, and exclaimed in a low voice!

Different from them, Ye Tian's eyes are now focused on a small screen in the upper right corner of the IPAD.

That was a picture taken by a camera on the side of the Beetle drone. In that small picture, it was a marble statue of Constantine the Great.

And next to the seated statue of Constantine the Great, there seems to be a marble statue, which looks like another Roman emperor who jointly issued the Edict of Milan, the marble statue of Licini!

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy.

Just as he secretly cheered and celebrated, Walker's voice suddenly came from the intercom.

"Steven, His Majesty's convoy, the Italian Prime Minister's convoy, and the American ambassador's convoy are about to arrive on this street, and the street outside is completely boiling!"

Following Walker's words, everyone at the scene came to their senses, and then looked up at Ye Tian.

At this time, Ye Tian had a bright smile on his face!

Time to negotiate! Let's see who can stop my buddies from taking away those priceless top antiques and artworks. What's mine is mine, and no one can take it away!
