In Ye Tian's eyes, this six-pointed star golden scepter head not only radiates the inherent golden light of gold, but is also mixed with a gorgeous yellow light. The two are indistinguishable from each other!
From the intensity of this yellow light, Ye Tian could accurately determine that it was a golden scepter head from eight hundred years ago.
In addition to the gorgeous red light, the appearance of this golden scepter head is also wrapped with more than ten layers of charming halos, which is pleasing to the eye!
What these dozen layers of charming halo show is its extraordinary artistic value and collection value, as well as the cultural research value contained behind it!
Obviously, this is a very rare piece of Indian antique art and is worth a lot of money!
The reason why Ye Tian made the judgment that the scepter head was related to the Golden City certainly had his basis.
The first is the text on the head of the scepter. On the six corners of the six-pointed star golden scepter head, there is a hieroglyphic character engraved on the front and back respectively, adding up to a total of twelve hieroglyphics!
These twelve hieroglyphics are all different, there is no duplication, and each represents a different meaning!
From this point alone, Ye Tian can be sure that this is the Mayan golden scepter head, a product of the Indian Mayan civilization! And it’s a priceless treasure!
As a symbol of royal power, this golden scepter head is already extremely rare, and the existence of these twelve hieroglyphics doubles the value of this golden scepter head!
At this point, the antique artworks of all civilizations are the same, without exception!
Antique works of art engraved with text are the evidence that best represents one's own civilization, and are by no means comparable to those without text!
As a branch of the Indians, the Mayans are the only ethnic group in the Americas that left written records. The other ethnic groups have no written records handed down, or have long since disappeared in the long river of history!
Ye Tian had seen Mayan hieroglyphs on some Indian antiques that he had handled before. Although he did not understand the meaning of these words, he had no problem identifying their origin.
And he can extremely accurately determine the era when the relevant antique artwork comes from. Combined with the creative style, it is naturally very easy to identify the civilization that the antique artwork comes from!
Of course, just relying on these dozen hieroglyphics is not enough to support his judgment that the scepter head is related to the Golden City!
The more important evidence is the patterns engraved under the hieroglyphs, which are fully engraved on both sides of the golden scepter head!
All the patterns are sacrificial scenes, sacred and solemn, and smell of blood! Because the sacrifices that appear in these patterns are all human beings, their postures and attire should be that of prisoners of war!
Using prisoners of war to sacrifice is one of the favorite things of the Mayans. The same goes for other Indians. Some tribes will even use their own people to sacrifice!
The place where the Indians held sacrifices in the pattern is a temple radiating golden light. It is very tall, similar to a pyramid, but with a square top.
Through these extremely finely carved sacrificial patterns, you can understand part of the life scenes of the Mayans and see their superb seal-carving skills!
The sacrificial patterns displayed on the head of the golden scepter and the square-topped pyramid temple emitting dazzling golden light are very consistent with the legend of the Golden City that is widely circulated in Central and South America.
Another point is that the Mayan civilization, the most dazzling in the ancient history of Central and South America, and the Aztec civilization, which originated from the same ancestor as the Mayan civilization, were both destroyed by the Spanish colonists!
They were completely destroyed by Spanish colonists at the beginning of the 16th century and the end of the 17th century respectively, and disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only a trace of their past!
So it makes sense that the Spaniards obtained the golden scepter head that symbolized the royal power of the Mayan Empire.
Perhaps this was the private collection of the last Spanish governor of South America. When the Bolivarian army was about to invade Lima, it was hastily packed into oak crates with several other collections in an attempt to transport them back to Spain!
But who would have imagined that Captain Thompson, who was responsible for transporting the treasure, saw money and slaughtered all the Spaniards at sea, threw them all into the sea to feed the fish, and then took the Lima treasure into his own bag!
Nearly two hundred years later, this famous pirate treasure was found by Ye Tian again, and the golden scepter head, symbolizing the royal power of the Mayan Empire, also appeared in front of him!
In addition to the main sacrificial pattern, there are also some patterns of animals and plants, as well as the sun, moon and stars on the head of the golden scepter, scattered in various locations!
In addition, there are some invisible and small lines wrapped around those square-topped pyramids. It is difficult to find without paying attention!
Ye Tian also relied on his clairvoyance ability to discover the existence of these small lines.
What these lines meant, he did not dare to draw conclusions for the time being. Only after careful study and consulting some experts and scholars who studied Mayan civilization could he know their meaning.
They may point to the location of the Golden City, or they may not have any meaning, just some simple decorative patterns!
But no matter what, Ye Tian had already made up his mind to win this rare golden scepter head at all costs.
The golden scepter head, engraved with more than a dozen hieroglyphics and symbolizing the royal power of the Mayan Empire, is already a priceless rare treasure!
What's more, it may point to the Lost City of Gold. According to legend, what a huge treasure that is! If there is even a chance, you must not miss it!
Taken together, perhaps this golden scepter head is the most valuable treasure in Lima’s treasures!
After his eyes lingered on the head of the six-pointed star golden scepter for a while, Ye Tianfang reluctantly shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere!
What he saw next were also all kinds of dazzling gold and silver treasures, which made his eyes dizzy!
Soon, he quickly looked through the crate on this side, then withdrew his gaze and ended the perspective!
Due to the angle, there are some boxes in the middle that cannot be seen through. I don’t know what they contain. They must be gold, silver, various jewelry, and other valuable treasures!
Ye Tian is not in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities later, so why rush now!
As long as he wants to, he can always be ahead of others, understand the situation in the box, and make decisions that are beneficial to him in advance.
After inspecting these boxes, Ye Tian pretended to walk deep into the cave again, using a strong flashlight to explore the situation deep in the cave!
About five minutes later, he walked out of the depths of the cave and came to Peak.
At this time, Peake was still continuing his work, using the light of a strong flashlight to explore the words on the wooden crates one by one. He was very serious and very excited, and his eyes were shining like searchlights. !
"Okay, Pique, there is no need to identify them one by one. The answer is very clear. This is the Lima treasure that has made countless people frantically search for nearly two hundred years. It is guaranteed to be fake!
The next work will be left to Jason and other colleagues in the company, as well as the guys at Columbia University, and those Costa Ricans, that is their job!
They will carefully count every box, every gold bar, every silver ingot, every jewel, diamond, and other valuable gold and silver treasures. No one can take them away from us! "
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, interrupting Pique who was working hard.
Hearing this, Pique immediately raised his head and said excitedly:
"You are right, this is indeed the Lima treasure. Every box comes from the city of Lima, and each one is filled with gold and silver treasures. It is really shocking!"
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. This cave is very safe. No animals were found, only some moss plants, and nothing else!
We can let those guys who are staying on the top of the cliff come down. Professor Douglas and the others are probably going crazy with the pain right now, and they may be cursing us behind our backs!
Let's go to the entrance of the cave, use the stalagmites protruding from the ground, fix the climbing ropes, and arrange two rappelling ropeways to let those guys on the top of the cliff come down one by one! "
With that said, Ye Tian walked towards the entrance of the cave!
