After a while of exclamation, Joshua looked at Ye Tian and said in a voice trembling with excitement:
"Stephen, can you please let us appreciate and study this seven-branch bronze candlestick and this gold pendant? They are both well-deserved national treasures of Israel. They are so important!"
Ye Tian looked at the senior Israeli official, then glanced at the crazy Israelis at the scene, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, Joshua, of course you can appreciate and study these two treasures, but only in this antique shop, and the time should not be too long. It is almost evening, and we should return to the hotel. ! ”
"Okay, Steven, thank you very much for your generosity, and thank you very much for discovering these two sacred artifacts of the Second Temple and allowing them to shine again!"
Joshua nodded hurriedly and thanked Ye Tian.
When he said these words, you can imagine how he felt. Apart from being excited, he must also be extremely heartbroken.
This is the sacred vessel of the Second Temple and the national treasure of Israel! What's more, the holy weapon common to all Jews actually fell into the hands of this guy Steven. Can you help but feel heartbroken!
After receiving permission, Joshua immediately took the gold pendant with trembling hands, and then began to appreciate and study it with several other Israeli antique dealers and cultural relic experts.
The moment he took the gold pendant, Joshua’s eyes even burst into tears with excitement, but luckily they didn’t flow down his cheeks!
The performance of other Israelis was not much better. Everyone had an extremely enthusiastic expression, their faces were flushed with excitement, and their eyes were as bright as searchlights.
However, when they touched the seven-branched bronze candlestick and the gold pendant, their whole state immediately changed, and they instantly became respectful and solemn.
After handing the gold pendant to Joshua, Ye Tian was ready to take a few steps back to make enough room for those crazy Israelis.
He had just taken two or three steps away when a voice full of sadness and almost pleading suddenly came from beside him.
"Stephen, can I exchange this seven-branch bronze candlestick? You can set the price as you like. As long as I can afford it, I can use this antique store and all my property in exchange!
As long as I can exchange for this seven-branch bronze candlestick, I will not hesitate to lose everything. This seven-branch bronze candlestick and the gold pendant are too important. I don’t want to become a sinner of the nation! ”
No need to ask, of course it was Carl, the antique shop owner, who said this.
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the unfortunate guy with pity, then shook his head with a smile and said:
"I'm afraid not, Karl. Your antique shop and all your property combined will probably not be worth the value of one lamp of this bronze candlestick, and it's far from it!"
Hearing this, Carl suddenly smiled miserably, then nodded in despair and said:
"It's true. This is a sacred artifact of the Second Temple. How can my little property compare with it? It's only natural that you don't agree to exchange it. If it were me, I wouldn't exchange it either!"
"Actually, you don't have to be too depressed, Karl. The discovery of this sacred artifact and the token of Herod the Great today can be said to be something worthy of celebration, and you are also responsible for it.
You also know that I am a professional treasure hunter, and treasure hunting is my business. This seven-branched bronze candlestick and gold pendant are your Jewish holy vessels, and I have no intention of collecting them.
I know many Jewish super-rich people, such as the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, and Bloomberg, who was once known as the "Manager of New York," and we all have business relationships.
As long as the price is reasonable, I will sell this seven-branch bronze candlestick and gold pendant. As for the Jewish super-rich man who takes these two sacred objects, it depends on the competition between them! ”
Ye Tian smiled and comforted Karl, and showed his fangs.
Hearing his words, the eyes of all the Jews in the antique store lit up, and everyone also took a breath of air.
They saw the hope of keeping these two sacred artifacts, and they knew very well that there must be one or two Jewish super-rich people who were going to be killed by this **** Steven!
Karl's eyes were full of despair and pain, and even lifeless. The light of hope flashed in his eyes again, and he even shed tears of excitement amid the mixture of sadness and joy!
After chatting for a few more words, Karl couldn't wait to go forward and admire the gold pendant.
Ye Tianze took two steps back, came to David and the others, and began to explain to them the story behind the seven-branch bronze candlestick and gold pendant.
"Herod the Great, also known as Herod the Great I and King Herod, was the acting king of the Roman Empire in the province of Jerusalem in Judea. He was a Jewish-Arab mixed race who came out of the mountains of Edom.
He surrendered to Rome and was under the protection of the Roman Empire, but he was a national hero and even a saint of the Jews. It was under his rule that the ancient Jewish kingdom ushered in its final glory."
“Of course we know King Herod the Great. In the New Testament, he was a cunning and murderous tyrant, and one of the most famous representatives of earthly tyrants!
In order to get rid of the newborn **** who was predicted to become the King of the Jews, King Herod once ordered the massacre of all male infants under the age of two in Bethlehem and surrounding areas"
David deliberately lowered his voice, lest he be heard by the Israelis in the antique shop.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then continued with a smile:
"It is true that Herod the Great's brutal, cold-blooded and merciless killing is an indisputable fact. He not only killed his wife and the love of his life, Miriam I, but also killed his three sons.
Even Herod the Great’s best friend, the Roman Emperor Octavian, who valued family ties, couldn’t help but ridiculed him when he heard that Herod the Great had killed his three sons, saying, ‘It’s better to be Herod’s pig than to be his. Hello son! ’
This also involves the factor of the right to speak. With the development of Christianity and the control of the right to speak, the image of King Herod as a tyrant gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and became a typical image of a villain king in the West.
But it is undeniable that despite being under the rule of the Romans, King Herod the Great still relied on his excellent governance skills to create a powerful and prosperous Jewish state.
Under his rule, the culture and wealth of the Jewish state reached a height that is difficult to reach. It can be said that the Herodian dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of years, was the last glory of the ancient Jewish kingdom.
The reconstruction of the Second Temple was the most ambitious miraculous construction in Herod the Great's life. As a mixed-race man, he won the hearts of the Jews and reached the highest point in his life.
The name engraved on the gold pendant, Miriam, is the princess of the Maccabean dynasty of the Jewish kingdom. This princess is said to have breathtaking beauty and was the love of King Herod the Great's life.
King Herod the Great had two wives in his life. The first was Miriam, also known as Miriam I. Herod the Great loved Miriam all his life, but Miriam wanted to completely destroy Herod until her death.
Such a relationship is destined to be a tragedy. Miriam always wanted to restore the rule of the Maccabean family, which finally forced Herod to make up his mind and kill his beloved woman on the ground of "adultery".
Before she died, Miriam’s expression remained unchanged. She demonstrated her noble bloodline and heritage in the most elegant way. After killing Miriam, King Herod cried bitterly and almost went crazy because of the excessive grief.
He preserved Miriam's body in honey, and when he missed her, he would look at her life-like face. After Miriam's death, Herod married another Miriam, Miriam II.
Miriam II also came from the Maccabean family. This was a political marriage. It was the two marriages with the Maccabean family that gave Herod the Great the right to inherit the Kingdom of Israel..."
Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce the story behind the seven-branch bronze candlestick and the gold pendant.
Under his explanation, a grand historical picture of the Jewish Kingdom in the first century BC gradually unfolded and was displayed in front of everyone.
Here are battles, grievances, intrigues, treacherous palace politics, and touching love that makes people sigh. David and the others were moved by it and said it was so enjoyable!
On the other side, Joshua and the other Israelites were fascinated by admiring and studying the seven-branch bronze candlestick and the love token of King Herod the Great.
More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Those Israelis who had fallen into obsession gradually came to their senses.
Joshua reluctantly took his eyes away from the two sacred artifacts, then turned around and walked towards Ye Tian.
As he approached, before he could stand firm, the senior Israeli official restrained his excitement and went straight to the topic.
"Stephen, I won't ask about the valuation of these two holy vessels. That's meaningless! I just want to ask, how can we keep these two holy vessels in Israel and in Jerusalem?
This is the most important national treasure of Israel and a sacred object for all Jews. It must not leave Israel. We will keep them at all costs. I believe you can understand"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and gave the answer very simply.
"Buy! Joshua, you can buy these two priceless treasures from me. I am a professional treasure hunter. This is my product. As long as the price is right, there is no reason not to sell it.
As for who will buy it, it can be your Israeli government, it can be the local super-rich in Israel, or it can be the Jewish super-rich from other parts of the world! ”
"It's a deal! We will buy these two holy vessels and leave them in Jerusalem for all Jews around the world to come and admire, worship and pay homage!"
Joshua said categorically, with an extremely firm tone and extremely fanatical eyes.
Next, Ye Tian let Joshua and the others admire these two priceless treasures for a while, then put away the gold pendant, reassembled the bronze candlestick by himself, and prepared to leave here and return to the hotel!
When they walked out of the antique store with these two sacred objects, they saw such a shocking scene.
It seems that all the Jews in Jerusalem have come to this street, and the place is surrounded by water. Everyone has an excited expression, staring at the door of the antique shop, and everyone's eyes are extremely hot!
Some guys in the crowd were even moved to tears, and some devout Jews were praying in low voices.
Across from the main entrance of the antique shop, Ye Tian and the others also saw several very familiar faces, including the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and a number of senior Israeli government officials.
Seeing this scene at the door of the antique store, even Ye Tian and the others, who had already received the news and were used to seeing trouble, couldn't help but secretly be speechless.
Perhaps they were afraid of damaging the sacred artifacts, but these Israelis were relatively restrained and did not swarm up to ask Ye Tian to keep the two sacred artifacts, or even **** them directly!
They just stared closely at Ye Tian and the box he was carrying, wishing they could see directly through the metal trolley box and see the seven-branch bronze candlestick inside!
Ye Tian quickly scanned the scene, then nodded to the senior Israeli officials across the street, then took David and the others into the car and left.
The one escorting them away was an entire Israeli army, which was vast and impressive.
Just as they left here, the news that Ye Tian discovered the sacred artifacts of the Second Temple and the love token of Herod the Great had spread like the wind throughout the world, causing a huge sensation.
