Treasure Hunt all over the World

Latest website: Chapter 3245 Fine Antiques of the Inca Civilization

Deep under the sea.

Matisse and another diver worked together to uncover a slab covered with coral.

Following their movements, a bright golden light flashed across the video screen.

Under this stone slab, there are several gold products of different shapes, as well as many Portuguese Moido gold coins.

Once the searchlight was illuminated, the seabed was reflected in a golden color, which made everyone dizzy.

It's a pity that the gold products were severely deformed by the smashing, and only the Moido gold coins were relatively well preserved.

Matisse looked at the condition of these gold and silver treasures, then reached out to pick up one piece from the sand and sent it to the high-definition underwater camera.

What appeared on the video screen was a smashed golden sea eagle sculpture, but the shape was exaggerated.

The main reason is that the eagle's head is somewhat anthropomorphic and larger in size than the eagle's body.

This golden sea eagle sculpture is also engraved with some mysterious and exquisite patterns, but there are no words, which has a very obvious color of Indian civilization.

One of the two rubies originally embedded in the golden sea eagle's eyes had been smashed, while the other was dull and had long lost its luster.

Most of the various gems inlaid on the wings and tail feathers also fell off, and the rest lost their luster and looked black.

Ye Tian and Professor Paul, who were staying in the cabin of the Brave and Dauntless, were admiring the broken golden sea eagle sculpture with fascination.

"This sculpture is so beautiful. It can be regarded as a typical antique artifact of the Inca civilization. Before this, I had never seen many such exquisite gold products of the Inca civilization.

The only pity is that this Inca Golden Sea Eagle was severely damaged. Not only was a large number of precious gems lost, but it was also deformed so severely that I don’t know if it can be restored? "

Professor Paul said with emotion, his eyes filled with regret.

He was not the only one who felt regretful, the others also shook their heads in regret.

Only Ye Tian had a bright smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, if you look carefully, you will find that although this Inca golden sea eagle sculpture was completely damaged by stones, there are not many damaged places.

And don’t forget, it is made of gold and has very good malleability. As long as this treasure is fished out of the water, I believe we can find a way to restore it to its original shape.

As for the various gemstones on this golden sculpture, it depends on how many we can find on the seabed. I hope we can find more, otherwise we will have to use artificial gemstones instead! "

Hearing his words, everyone immediately beamed with joy.

No one had any doubts about his words.

Since Steven said he could restore this Inca golden sea eagle to its original state, then he can definitely do it.

"Great, Steven, if this Inca golden sea eagle can really be restored to its original state, it will definitely become a top antique cultural relic."

Professor Douglas said excitedly.

Next, Ye Tian asked Matisse to turn over the Inca golden sea eagle and display it again, so that everyone could appreciate it from all angles, and then the appraisal was completed.

Afterwards, Matisse put this valuable Inca antique artifact into a black safety bag beside him, and prepared to take it to the sea later.

Not only Matisse, but also the other two divers, each holding a black safety bag.

While they are exploring the seabed, they are putting valuable small antiques into safe bags, preparing to take them to the surface later.

This can be considered a preliminary cleanup operation to reduce the burden for subsequent large-scale cleanup.

As for those gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics that are larger, heavier, and of relatively average value, such as Portuguese Moido gold coins, there is no need to clean them up yet.

After putting the Inca gold sea eagle sculpture into a safe bag, Matisse picked up another gold product from the bottom of the sea.

This is a very small gold vase, only the size of a palm.

The body of the bottle is engraved with exquisite and complex patterns, as well as a pattern derived from the Bible. The neck of the bottle is engraved with several flying little angels.

In some places on the bottle, there are also some very small gems inlaid, which have either fallen off or have lost their luster.

Just like the Inca Golden Sea Eagle, this golden vase was also flattened by the stone slab just now and turned into a flat vase, losing its three-dimensionality.

The difference is that this gold vase is relatively well preserved and easier to restore to its original state.

More importantly, it is a product of Western civilization, not an antique relic of Indian civilization, and its cultural symbols are particularly obvious.

Matisse showed it in front of a high-definition underwater camera, and Ye Tian and the others saw the clues in a blink of an eye.

"Gentlemen, this should be one of the batch of gold and silver treasures specially customized for King Nuo V by the Portuguese colony. It is also a very exquisite treasure and is rare.

The artistic style of this gold vase was the most popular Baroque art at the time, with an obvious Portuguese style. To be precise, it was an obvious Portuguese colonial color.

What’s more important is the emblem of the Braganza Dynasty engraved on the bottom of the vase. If I guess correctly, there should be more obvious signs inside this gold vase.”

Ye Tian said with a smile and gave the identification conclusion of this small gold vase.

After the words fell, Professor Paul immediately continued:

"Yes, this is indeed one of the treasures specially ordered by the Portuguese colony for King Nuo V. The "Virgin of the Rocks" pattern on the bottle has an obvious early Jesuit style.

This is the same pattern as the other treasures customized for King Nuo V. This is the best explanation, and this gold vase is smaller, more exquisite, and more precious."

Following his words, everyone nodded and became more excited.

After admiring this small gold vase, Matisse put it into a black safety bag and then cleaned and explored it.

In the blink of an eye, an hour or two has passed.

The exploratory cleanup operation led by Mattis is over, or it is temporarily coming to an end.

Carrying a large number of valuable gold and silver treasures and antiques, they began to surface and prepared to return to the sea.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Tian and the others also got up and left the cabin of the Brave and Fearless, preparing to go to the deck to relax and stretch their legs.

As soon as they came out of the cabin, Jason came over.

Coming closer, this guy immediately laughed and said in a low voice:

"Steven, the media reporters on the superyacht not far away have been protesting, protesting that we cut off the video signal and did not broadcast the live underwater exploration.

Those guys said that if this continues, the audience following this treasure hunt live broadcast will be completely lost. In that case, there is no need for them to stay here anymore! "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said:

"We really can't let those guys leave. It seems we have to give those guys a taste of the sweetness, otherwise they might really get angry and leave here.

Jason, tell those media reporters that when Mattis and the others return to the sea, I will bring some valuable gold and silver treasures and antiques.

At that time, they can conduct live broadcasts, and I will also give the most accurate explanations, appraisals, and valuations. I believe this can retain them and many viewers."

"Understood, Steven, continue to whet the appetites of those guys!"

Jason nodded in response.

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.

Before the laughter could subside, there was a sudden sound of breaking water on the sea to the left of the Brave and Dauntless.

The iron cage filled with gold, silver, treasures and antiques was lifted out of the sea again!
