Treasure Hunt all over the World

While stopping and walking, Ye Tian and the others came to the entrance of an antique shop, but they were shut down.

The door of this antique shop was locked tightly, and there were many spectators standing on both sides of the door, including some antique dealers and clerks I had seen before.

Obviously, the owner of this antique shop was afraid of being ransacked by Ye Tian, ​​so he simply closed the shop, leaving him unable to do anything.

But how did this Egyptian antique dealer know that for Ye Tian, ​​closing or closing the store has the same effect, if he wants to rob this antique store, he can get whatever he wants!

The scene in front of them made everyone feel somewhat surprised!

After a short pause, a disdainful smile appeared on Ye Tian's face, and then he said loudly:

"If the other antique shops we are going to go to are like this and choose to close their doors to thank customers, it will be very disappointing! This is the prestigious Khalili market, and I did not expect this to happen!"

Following his words, almost all the Egyptians at the scene turned red with embarrassment!

Especially those Egyptian antique dealers who were present at the scene felt like they had been slapped in the face in public, their cheeks were burning hot, and they were even a little ashamed!

Ahmed, who was standing next to Ye Tian, ​​and the Egyptian antiquities policeman were also very embarrassed, and their teeth were itching with hatred!

Raising the white flag before the fight is too shameful!

"Hahaha"

David and the others all laughed, and some tourists from other countries were also laughing, as if watching the excitement is not a big deal!

With people's laughter, many Egyptians at the scene suddenly became even more embarrassed!

Ye Tian saw the performance of Ahmed and the others. He accepted it as soon as he saw it, and did not continue to stimulate the self-esteem of these Egyptians!

Next, they continued on, heading straight to the next antique store.

Fortunately, the owner of the next antique shop still had a bit of character, and he didn't lock the door tightly, and hung up the no-war sign, which made Ahmed and the others heave a sigh of relief.

When they came to the door of this antique shop, Ye Tian and the others took a quick look at the door and the surrounding environment, and then walked into this antique shop!

In a blink of an eye, it was around six o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the streets of Al Khalili Market, where antique artworks and Egyptian handicrafts are sold, seem to have been hit by a hurricane, and they are already devastated!

In the past few hours, Ye Tian and the others visited more than a dozen antique shops of different sizes one after another, and in some of the antique shops, a lot of antique cultural relics and artworks were swept away.

The owners and clerks of those antique shops, as well as the people watching the excitement, do not know the true origin and value of those antique cultural relics and artworks.

However, when Ye Tian took down those antiques and artworks by various means, everyone knew in their hearts that those antiques and artworks swept away by him must be of great value, even priceless treasures!

The price of those antique cultural relics and works of art, compared with their real value, is estimated to be thousands of miles away, which can be completely ignored!

Thinking of this, all the Egyptians who witnessed all this felt a burst of pain in their hearts!

As for those antique dealers who were ransacked madly, they almost fainted from heartache, even though they still don't know the true value of the antique relics and artworks they sold!

If you let them know that in the next time, or even in the next few days, there will be people who will continue to come to sweep up the door with the messages sent by Ye Tian, ​​they probably want to die!

Ye Tian swept up so many goods that the company employees who followed him couldn't hold them all.

Everyone can only buy some metal suitcases in the market, put those antique cultural relics and artworks into the boxes, and pull them one by one, which has become a spectacle!

With the passage of time, a catastrophe is taking place in Khalili Market, which has become the consensus of all, and has also shocked the entire Egyptian antique art collection circle!

And the person who created this catastrophe, Ye Tian, ​​is currently in a small antique shop,

Admire and check out a very strange thing!

This is a statue of Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology.

To be precise, it was a fired black pottery statue, slightly larger than a real person, standing against the wall on the floor of the antique shop, exuding a strange aura, and even looked a little gloomy.

Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, is the son of Osiris, the god of the underworld, and Nephthys, the patron saint of the dead.

Its image is a jackal-headed human body, and is sometimes described as a jackal wearing a ribbon.

Under normal circumstances, Anubis is black all over, with blue-faced fangs, symbolizing death and rebirth, and often appears at the door and inside of the pharaoh's tomb, guarding the tombs of the pharaohs.

The statue of Anubis in front of him is all black, with a flail in his right hand and the key of life in his left hand. It is relatively well preserved, but the carving is rough and the craftsmanship is average!

There is of course a reason why this statue of Anubis is very strange.

First of all, this is a black pottery statue, not a stone statue. It is relatively fragile and can be easily damaged!

If such a large black pottery statue comes from ancient Egypt, it can be said to be a miracle that it can be preserved almost completely until now!

What is even more surprising is that although this statue of Anubis was fired in a satisfactory manner, it is generally not bad, but the manufacturing method is relatively rough, and it cannot be compared with those exquisite statues from the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs!

Another point is that in addition to several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns on this statue of Anubis, there is actually a line of French and a date number engraved on Anubis' neck, 1802.

This makes people puzzled, if this is a statue of Anubis from ancient Egypt, why are there French and Arabic numerals?

Looking at this peculiar statue of Anubis, Ye Tian couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The same was true for David, Ahmed and others who were present at the scene. Everyone was at a loss.

Compared with them, the antique shop owner standing aside had a much more relaxed expression, without any psychological pressure, and even showed a disdainful smile in his eyes.

Obviously, the antique shop owner knew the origin of the Anubis statue and knew its value, which is why he was so relaxed!

Pretending to appreciate it seriously for a moment, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the owner of the antique shop, and said in a surprised tone:

"Mr. Adair, if I read correctly, this black pottery statue of Anubis does not come from ancient Egypt, but a fake made by the French in the early 19th century. The French text and date on it are evidence.

In 1801, after Napoleon ruled Egypt briefly, he was defeated by the British and withdrew from Egypt. By 1802, the evacuation had been completed. There were very few French people left in Egypt. Who made this black pottery statue?

Another point I don't quite understand, why did the French make statues of Anubis? Even if they didn't know that Anubis was the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, they could tell the clue just from the appearance!

Such a black statue of Grim Reaper is creepy to look at. I think few people are willing to collect such a thing, not to mention that it is a fake, and its value is even lower! I don't quite understand! "

Hearing his words, the antique shop owner named Adel couldn't help but froze for a moment, and didn't respond immediately.

After a while, he woke up, and the disdain in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by an expression of admiration.

"Your vision is too sharp, Mr. Steven, and you really deserve your reputation! You are absolutely right. This is indeed a fake made by the French in the early nineteenth century, not a statue from ancient Egypt.

This black pottery statue of Anubis, which I received from the 'City of the Dead' in Cairo, was originally placed at the entrance of a tomb, guarding the tomb, and according to the epitaph, the tomb is more than 200 years old history!

Because some poor people from other places lived in the cemetery's room next to the tomb, they thought the statue of Anubis was an eyesore, so they planned to sell it. I just happened to meet it, so I took this black pottery sculpture, and it has been up to now!

After accepting this black pottery sculpture, I asked experts and scholars to make an appraisal, and the appraisal conclusions given by everyone are highly consistent, just like what you just said, this is a fake made by the French in the early 19th century!

Why did the French make such a sculpture? Perhaps it is not difficult to understand, their intention is probably to use this sculpture of Anubis, the god of death, to guard the tomb, so they placed this sculpture in front of the tomb door.”

"I see, if the French use Anubis to guard the tomb, it would make sense!"

Ye Tian continued, with a dazed expression.

Before waiting for the antique shop owner to give a response, he went on to say:

"Mr. Adel, although this black pottery statue of Anubis is a fake, it is also interesting. Please make a price. I intend to accept this thing for fun!"
