Thousands of kilometers away in London, a medium-sized meeting room in the British Museum.

The curator of the British Museum, as well as many high-level officials of the museum, are watching the live broadcast of the National Geographic Channel.

Without exception, these british guys were very excited, even their excited eyes were shining brightly, and there was also a bit of regret in their eyes at the same time!

What excited them so much was Ye Tian, ​​who was talking on TV, and the sensational discovery he brought to the world!

"We know that it was a French captain who first discovered the Rosetta Stone. In 1799, the French captain named Pierre discovered the stone near the Egyptian city of Rosetta, so it was named Rosetta. Tower Stele!

After discovering the Rosetta Stone, Pierre realized that this black stone was very important, so he reported it to his boss, and then transported the Rosetta Stone to the Egyptian Research Institute set up by Napoleon in Cairo for experts and scholars to study and analyze!

In 1801, Napoleon's army was defeated by the British army, which ended his three-year rule in Egypt. The right to occupy Egypt changed hands, which also caused disputes over the ownership of many antiques and works of art found in Egypt.

At that time, French scientists hoped to keep these antique relics and hoped to take them away from Alexandria, but the British side believed that these antique relics were confiscated and belonged to the property of King George III of England.

Among these antique relics, the most important one is the Rosetta Stone. For this batch of valuable antique relics, the French once wrote to the British ambassador, threatening to destroy these antique relics if the British snatch them!

After the British army occupied Alexandria, they signed the Agreement of Alexandria with the French, officially ending the French occupation of Egypt. According to this agreement, the antiques discovered by the French army during the occupation were transferred to the British army.

However, the French did not hand over the Rosetta Stone according to the agreement when they retreated, but tried to use a small boat to smuggle this priceless treasure back to France. Unfortunately, they failed and were intercepted by the British halfway!

After this incident, Britain and France reached an agreement that the French could keep the previous research results and rubbings of the Rosetta Stone, and the ownership of the Rosetta Stone belonged to the United Kingdom, and it was shipped to London soon!

After the Rosetta Stone arrived in the UK, it was donated to the British Museum in the name of the King of England. Since then, it has been displayed in the Egyptian Pavilion of the British Museum. It is one of the most proud treasures of the British Museum! "

Ye Tian vividly introduced the process of discovering the Rosetta Stone and a series of stories about the struggle between Britain and France for this priceless treasure!

In fact, everyone at the scene knew these stories, and what he said was more for the people in front of the live broadcast!

People who are watching this live broadcast have different positions because they are in different countries!

The British generally feel a little regretful, but there is nothing they can do!

Why are these Rosetta stone fragments not in the UK, but fell into the hands of that guy Steven? If you want to get those priceless treasures from that guy, I'm afraid it will be impossible!

The Egyptians felt extremely angry, gnashing their teeth one by one, and some guys even cursed at the top of their throats!

Ye Tian's words made them think of the humiliating history of becoming a British and French colony, and of the top antiques and artworks that were robbed by the British and the French, including the Rosetta Stone!

As for the people in other countries, they were more watching the excitement, and lamented Ye Tian's luck beyond heaven, why was it not him who found these priceless treasures, but that lucky bastard?

Whether it's the people in the Khalili market or the audience in front of the countless live broadcasts, they are extremely envious of Ye Tian's good luck at this time, and their eyes are even bloodshot with jealousy, wishing to replace him!

Especially those who do business in Khalili Market, and those who have been to Adel Antique Store, all of them regretted it,

I hate myself for being so blind that I missed such a priceless treasure!

In the antique shop, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then continued his performance!

"Now it seems that when the French signed the agreement with the British, they still kept a hand. They hid some fragments of the Rosetta Stone and did not hand them over to the British according to the agreement.

These fragments may have been accidentally dropped when the stele was discovered, or they may have fallen off the stele earlier, or they may have been dropped from the stele before the agreement was signed.

After detaining these fragments of the Rosetta Stone, the French forged a black pottery statue of Anubis, the god of death, and hid these fragments in the statue in order to hide their eyes and ears and avoid being discovered by the British!

After the Anubis statue was fired, they transported the statue to the City of the Dead in Cairo and placed it in front of a tomb to guard the tomb. I guess that tomb belongs to the French, or even a fake!

It is estimated that the French planned to come to Cairo after a few years, secretly take out these Rosetta Stone fragments, and smuggle them to France, but for some reason, these French never came to Cairo again.

At that time, France was fighting everywhere under the leadership of Napoleon, and the situation was very turbulent. The French soldiers who hid the fragments of the Rosetta Stone may have died on other battlefields, so they did not come to Cairo!

Since then, these fragments of the Rosetta Stone have completely disappeared from people's sight, and have been sleeping in a statue of Anubis in the City of the Dead in Cairo until we came to Cairo to find them! "

"Wow! What a wonderful story"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, as did the streets outside the antique shop, and in front of countless live broadcast terminals.

People were deeply attracted by the story Ye Tian told, and they were deeply moved!

"Your speculation is reasonable, Steven, and to some extent, we also have to thank the French for leaving these Rosetta Stone fragments in Egypt instead of handing them over to the British to prevent these priceless treasures from being lost overseas. !"

Ahmed continued, and the other Egyptians at the scene nodded in agreement.

The British who were watching the live broadcast, Ze Qiqi rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this is not the period of the empire on which the sun never sets!

Next, Ye Tian introduced the significance of discovering the Rosetta Stone and the historical and cultural value of this famous stone!

The Rosetta Stone is known as the key and key basis for interpreting ancient Egyptian civilization. Its value can be imagined, and it is a priceless treasure!

Although these fragments hidden in the Anubis statue are small in size, the value of each fragment is immeasurable, and they are truly priceless treasures!

After introducing these contents, Ye Tian stopped talking, participated in the research, and discussed in low voice with those Egyptian archaeologists and ancient writing experts, asking about the meaning of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the fragments of the stele!

During this period, he prevented those Egyptian experts and scholars, Ahmed and others from attempting to take pictures with their mobile phones, and did not allow the two live broadcast groups to take pictures of the front of these stele fragments!

The reason why he did this is very simple!

These Rosetta Stone fragments are now his private property, and every ancient Egyptian hieroglyph engraved on it is worth tens of thousands of gold, which is of great historical and cultural research value, so naturally it cannot be leaked casually!

Photos of these priceless treasures should only be published after the relevant academic research has been completed, or if they have been transferred!

These Egyptian archaeologists and ancient text experts on site can appreciate and study on site, and remember as much as they can, but they cannot take pictures and keep pictures!

For his decision, all the Egyptians at the scene hated their teeth so much, but they had no choice but to let these priceless treasures not belong to them!

After appreciating and studying these Rosetta Stone fragments for a while, Ye Tian stood up.

At this moment, Ahmed suddenly stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"Steven, what do you plan to do with these Rosetta Stone fragments? Many people are very concerned about this issue, and I want to hear your thoughts!"

Ye Tian turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and said:

"It's too early to say how to deal with these Rosetta Stone fragments. I am more concerned about how to transport these priceless treasures away safely. You know the situation outside!"

With that said, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the antique shop.

At this time, the street outside the antique shop was completely boiling.

Even the entire Khalili market is like a boil, everyone is paying attention to this place, paying attention to these Rosetta Stone fragments!
