"In the mid-fifteenth century, the famous humanist scholar Walla published "The Forgery of the Gift of Constantine", which based on the Bible and historical documents, comprehensively and systematically expounded the monarch's grammar and old system. Constantine's gift was a forgery.
This statement has been supported by many humanist scholars, new sects, and some secular countries. It became the basis for new sects to attack the Holy See during the religious reform movement, and aroused Western scholars' suspicion of the Holy See's documents.
Under tremendous pressure, the Holy See was finally forced to admit that Constantine's gift was a forgery! However, Vara did not mention this stone tablet inscribed with 'Gift of Constantine' in his article. Perhaps he did not know the existence of this stone tablet.
The fact that Pope Julius II hid the physical evidence and related documents about the 'Gift of Constantine' was not mentioned in any known documents, resulting in no one knowing what happened. There is such a significant stone tablet! ”
Just when Ye Tian said these words, a small beetle suddenly flew into the basement, followed the corner of the wall, clung to the ground, and flew silently into the secret room that led directly to the depths of the underground. road.
Seeing this scene, a hint of smile immediately flashed in Ye Tian's eyes. It was fleeting and no one noticed it.
As his words fell, the scene became quiet again.
Everyone was silent, quickly digesting his words and this earth-shattering discovery, and secretly weighing and thinking.
After a while, Ye Tian broke the silence.
"Gentlemen, after introducing the stone tablet inscribed with 'Gift of Constantine', let me introduce the larger stone tablet at the back.
Due to the distance and light, as well as the dust and moss on the stone tablet, most of the words engraved on the stone tablet were not clearly visible.
However, the ancient Latin text engraved on the top of the stone tablet was still vaguely legible because of its relatively large font, and I happened to recognize it.
Not just me, I believe many people here recognize that line of text. The meaning of that line of ancient Latin is the famous ‘Edict of Milan’”
Before he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became excited.
Even though many people here have recognized the line of ancient Latin, everyone was still shocked when they heard Ye Tian say it himself!
David and the others, who did not know the line of ancient Latin, were undoubtedly more shocked, and even screamed in surprise.
"What? A stone tablet with the edict of Milan engraved on it, did I hear it correctly?"
"Oh my god! If that is really the Edict of Milan, then there is no doubt that that stone tablet is definitely a heavyweight religious relic!"
Before David and the others could finish their exclamations, Bishop Kent had already given an affirmative answer.
"You are right, Steven. The larger stone tablet is indeed engraved with the ancient Latin text of the Edict of Milan. If the specific content of the Edict of Milan is engraved on that stone tablet, then it is A very important religious relic! ”
When Bishop Kent said these words, his voice was trembling with excitement and his eyes were shining.
Not only him, but everyone at the scene except Ye Tian was also like this. Everyone here was excited and proud!
What the Edict of Milan means is very clear to them who grew up with Western education!
Ye Tian looked at these guys, and then said loudly:
Exchange good books and follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and get cash red envelopes!
"If there are still doubts about the 'Gift of Constantine', the Edict of Milan is an indisputable historical fact. It is not only a major historical event in Western history, but also a milestone in the history of the development of Christianity. event.
The Edict of Milan was issued in 313 AD. The issuers were Augustus Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire and Licinius, the Emperor of Eastern Rome. The two of them met in Milan and issued this famous edict together. of the edict.
This edict jointly issued by the two emperors of Rome, East and West, declared the legitimacy of Christianity. The Edict of Milan later became the basic law prevailing in the Roman world. Since then, the development of Christianity has shifted from underground to above ground.
The Edict of Milan officially recognized that Christians had the same right to freedom of belief as other pagans, returned their confiscated churches and church property, exempted Christian monks from their personal corvee obligations to the country, etc.
It also stipulates that bishops have the right to judge church cases. From then on, Christianity became the legal religion of the Roman Empire and the spiritual pillar of state power. Constantine, who issued this edict, became a Christian saint!
In 380 AD, Roman Emperor Theodosius I officially issued an edict declaring Christianity to be the state religion of Rome and "outlawing all pagan and superstitious activities." Christianity gradually developed into the only orthodox religion in the Roman Mediterranean.
The official announcement of the Edict of Milan made Christianity’s position unshakable in the West and began an era of self-respect in the history of Western culture. For Christianity and the Western world, it is hard to overstate how important the Edict of Milan is!
By extension, the appearance of this stele engraved with the Edict of Milan will cause a huge sensation. If this stele comes from 313 AD and was carved by Emperor Constantine, Then it is a religious relic!
As far as the importance of the Edict of Milan to the development of Christianity is concerned, this stone tablet inscribed with the Edict of Milan is by no means comparable to ordinary religious relics. It can be regarded as the top Christian relic, probably even better than the Holy Grail. Go down a level!
As the person who discovered this underground space and the stone tablet of the "Edict of Milan", I feel very honored. However, it would be a bit impractical for me to introduce the Edict of Milan. It is best to let the Bishop of Kent introduce it. Let’s introduce it to everyone”
Having said this, Ye Tian reached out and gestured to Bishop Kent, asking Bishop Kent to introduce the contents of the Milan Edict to everyone.
Bishop Kent did not refuse. He first calmed down his excitement, and then began to introduce the Edict of Milan to everyone, as well as the history and stories related to it.
Ye Tian walked up to Ian and asked them to turn off most of the high-definition cameras carried on the two small drones, leaving only one camera facing the ground, which continued to hover at the original position to provide lighting for the Beetle drone. .
In this way, they can provide lighting without worrying about exposing the presence of the Beetle Drone.
A few minutes later, after Bishop Kent finished briefly introducing the Milan Edict, Ye Tian called them over to continue witnessing the subsequent exploration process.
At this time, the beetle drone controlled by Matisse had flown into the secret room at the end of the secret passage and flew in front of the two stone tablets.
The picture captured by the Beetle drone was displayed on the screen of the IPAD held by Ye Tian, which was relatively clear.
The words engraved on the top of the two stone tablets also appeared much clearer.
There is no doubt that the contents engraved on the two stone tablets, one large and one small, are exactly the legendary and questionable 'Gift of Constantine' and the actual 'Edict of Milan' !
"In order to ensure the unity and security of the empire,..., there are many major issues that keep us busy day and night, but we still never forget,..., God! This is really a landmark Edict of Milan in the history of Christianity!"
Bishop Kent was translating the ancient Latin text on the stone tablet of the Edict of Milan. Even though there were not many words that could be read clearly and the translation was intermittent, it still made him almost crazy with excitement!
Not only him, but everyone else at the scene except Ye Tian, their faces were flushed with excitement. Everyone held their heads with both hands and exclaimed in low voices!
Unlike them, Ye Tian's eyes were focused on a small screen in the upper right corner of the IPAD.
That was a picture taken by a camera on the side of the Beetle drone. In that small picture, there was a marble statue of Emperor Constantine.
Beside the seated statue of Emperor Constantine, there seems to be a marble statue, which looks like the marble statue of Licinius, another Roman emperor who jointly issued the Edict of Milan!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy.
Just as he was secretly cheering and celebrating, Walker's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, His Majesty the Pope's motorcade, the Italian Prime Minister's motorcade, and the American Ambassador's motorcade will soon arrive at this street. The street outside is completely boiling!"
With Walker's words, everyone at the scene woke up and immediately looked up at Ye Tian.
At this time, Ye Tian had a bright smile on his face!
It’s time to negotiate! Let’s see who can stop my buddy from taking away those priceless top antiques, cultural relics and works of art. What’s mine is mine, and no one can take it away!
