What appeared in front of everyone was a strange-looking gold sculpture.
This sculpture looks like a giant python or anaconda, with an S-shaped body but a huge head that is completely out of proportion to the snake's body.
More importantly, this giant snake statue also has an anthropomorphic face, with its **** mouth open and spitting out words, as if it wants to choose people to eat.
There are two ridges on the top of the statue's head, as if horns are about to grow from there.
There are four fangs in its mouth, piercing the upper and lower jaws respectively, giving people a very fierce, even evil feeling, which makes people shudder when looking at it.
The eyes of this snake-shaped human face sculpture are inlaid with two top-quality emeralds, emitting bursts of green light, which is somewhat scary.
The neck and body of this statue are inlaid with a large number of gems, large or small, in different colors, which together form colorful patterns.
In addition, this sculpture is also engraved with some exquisite and mysterious patterns and patterns.
These patterns and patterns are very different from the various symbols of Western civilization, and are also different from several American Indian civilizations. They look very strange.
Although it has been hidden deep under the sea for hundreds of years, this golden sculpture has been relatively well preserved.
On its surface, there are only some bump marks, but there is no major damage, and the shape has not been damaged.
Some of the various gemstones embedded on the surface have fallen off, but most are still there, but have lost their luster.
Under the bright afternoon sun, these gems still emit an extremely bright light, which is mesmerizing.
If they are treated with modern methods, they will definitely be reborn and shine with their most beautiful light.
Looking at this strange yet dazzling gold sculpture, many media reporters couldn’t help but feel a little lost.
Not only them, but also countless viewers on the live broadcast.
Even many experts and scholars were shocked but also confused.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the scene.
"Wow! This gold sculpture is so eye-catching and weird. What on earth is this?"
“With a snake body and a human face, there seems to be two ungrown horns on the head. The shape is so exaggerated. Could it be a Chinese dragon? But it’s plausible.”
Many media reporters exclaimed. Everyone was excited, but also confused.
Most of the countless viewers on the live broadcast, including those so-called experts and scholars, behaved in the same way.
Only a handful of people who have done some research on this kind of thing have some clues.
Without exception, each of their eyes instantly became extremely bright and excited.
But it is a pity that they have no chance or channel to speak out, and they cannot access this treasure for the time being.
Ye Tian shook his head gently, then said with a smile:
“Dear friends from the media, you have misunderstood. This is not a Chinese dragon. The Chinese dragon does not have this strange shape.
This is a product of native American civilization. To be more precise, it is an antique artifact from a branch of the Inca civilization, which is very rare."
Before he finished speaking, a media reporter asked:
“Antique artifacts from the Inca civilization, but we have never seen this type of Inca artifacts.
The patterns and patterns carved on this gold statue seem to be different from other Inca cultural relics."
Ye Tian looked at the reporter, nodded slightly, and then explained:
"You are right. This gold sculpture does look different from other Inca cultural relics. It does not seem to be a product of a civilization.
This happens because the gold sculpture comes from an Amazonian indigenous tribe, not the Inca Empire.
In a general sense, the Indians of the Amazon indigenous tribes are also part of the Incas and belong to the Inca Empire.
But they had separated from the mainstream society of the Inca Empire very early, lived alone in the depths of the rainforest, and developed their own culture.
For them, this is both a bad thing and a good thing. These indigenous tribes are very backward and far less civilized and prosperous than the Inca Empire.
But precisely because they were far away from the mainstream society of the Inca Empire, they escaped the destruction of the Inca civilization and survived alone in the Amazon."
After hearing this, people suddenly understood the origin of this golden sculpture.
At the same time, people were also amazed by Ye Tian's erudition.
This guy Steven is really just like the legend, he is expert in everything and knows everything!
Even the indigenous tribes of the Amazon know something about it.
Not only did he understand, this guy actually spoke eloquently.
And it’s amazing to be able to recognize antique artifacts from Amazonian indigenous tribes at a glance!
"Since it is a branch of the Inca civilization, why is the shape of this gold sculpture so weird? It looks like something from another civilization"
A reporter asked in surprise.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, then explained with a smile:
“I just said that the Indians living deep in the Amazon rainforest have gradually developed their own culture.
This is closely related to their living environment, and it is also related to the independent development of these Indian tribes after the demise of the Inca Empire.
According to my identification, this sculpture should have been born in the Amazon rainforest in the mid-17th century, and in the 16th century, the Inca Empire had perished.
In other words, after the demise of the Inca Empire, these Indian tribes in the Amazon rainforest completely lost communication with other tribes.
They were trapped deep in the Amazon rainforest and could only develop their own culture, beliefs, etc. based on their environment, forming something very unique.
This point is very obvious in this sculpture. This is actually a gold sculpture of Quetzalcoatl, but it is made from anacondas in the Amazon rainforest.
This is different from the Quetzalcoatl of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, and also different from the image of Quetzalcoatl in the Inca civilization, so everyone doesn’t recognize it."
Next, Ye Tian introduced this precious antique cultural relic from the depths of the Amazon rainforest in detail.
With his introduction, many media reporters and countless viewers on the live broadcast finally had a certain understanding of this antique cultural relic.
After he finished his introduction, a Spanish reporter suddenly asked:
"Steven, since this strange-looking Quetzalcoatl sculpture comes from deep in the Amazon rainforest, can we determine which country it originally belonged to?
Between the 16th century and the 19th century, the entire South America was a colony of several Western countries, basically either Spain or Portugal.
Can we conclude from this that the pirates looted it from Spanish or Portuguese merchant ships? So which famous pirate plundered the merchant ship? ”
With these words, everyone at the scene looked at the Spanish reporter, and then at Ye Tian.
Everyone understands the subtext of this Spanish reporter very clearly.
This guy is saying that this valuable antique once belonged to Spain or Portugal.
He is helping his country declare its sovereignty, and he is eager to get this treasure back to his country.
Ye Tian looked at this guy, and then said with slight disdain:
“You also said that South America was a colony of Western countries at that time, which is enough to show that Western countries were invaders.
In other words, it is illegal for Western countries to occupy South America and occupy the land that originally belonged to the Indians!
Since the occupation is illegal, the wealth plundered from the colonies by some countries, including Spain, is naturally also illegal.
As for which famous pirate it is and where it was robbed from, I don’t know yet. I believe the answer will be revealed soon."
"Ah!"
The Spanish reporter exclaimed and was stunned.
At this moment, a French reporter quickly changed the topic.
When it comes to colonial plunder, which Western country can morally stand firm?
To dwell on this issue is just asking for trouble!
"Stephen, can you tell me the valuation of this gold Quetzalcoatl statue? I believe everyone is very concerned about this"
Ye Tian nodded slightly and immediately announced the valuation.
“This is the first time I have seen this Quetzalcoatl statue. As far as I know, this should be the only one.
Although this statue is not very old, it is of great historical and cultural research value. I value it at five million US dollars."
Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene.
"Wow! Five million dollars, this thing is really worth a lot of money!"
Everyone was shocked by this valuation and exclaimed.
The eyes of countless viewers who were watching the live broadcast turned red instantly, full of envy, jealousy and hatred!
