"How is it possible? The golden mask of Cat God Best, did I hear it correctly?"
Amidst the exclamations, many professionals in the field of Egyptian antiques and art rushed toward the TV or computer screen. They all stared at the golden mask in Ye Tian's hand with their eyes wide open, almost going crazy!
At the same time, the same scene is playing out in the Forbidden City, the Louvre, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, and other world-famous museums.
The cat-faced golden mask in Ye Tian's hand and the words he said have caused a huge sensation in the world of antique art collections, leaving everyone stunned!
For this situation, the moment he took the cat-faced golden mask out of the red sandalwood box, Ye Tian had already expected that this would inevitably happen.
After carefully admiring the cat-faced golden mask in his hand, Ye Tian began to introduce this top-notch antique artwork to countless eager eyes.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I just said this is from ancient Egypt 2,600 years ago and is the golden mask of the cat **** Bast, of course has a certain basis and is not nonsense!
As you can see, this cat face mask is made of high-purity gold, which has very obvious ancient Egyptian cultural characteristics, and the gold mask is embedded with various gemstones and colored glass!
If you are familiar with Tutankhamun’s golden mask, the treasure of the Egyptian National Museum and the national treasure of Egypt, you will find that the two faces have many similarities!
Their production techniques are almost identical, and both are very exquisite and charming. Of course, this golden mask of Cat God Best is far from comparable to the golden mask of Tutankhamun.
Let’s talk about the shape of this cat **** mask. It is based on a slender and tall Egyptian cat. It has smart eyes and seems to be looking around, and it has a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
On the top of the head of this cat-faced gold mask is a scarab, and a beautiful gold earring is worn on the left ear. These are the characteristics of the image of the cat **** Best!
If you know something about ancient Egyptian culture, you will know that scarabs and gold earrings symbolize the protective power of the goddess Best, which is the most powerful basis for identification!
As for the age when this cat-faced golden mask was born, as I just said, it comes from the middle and late 26th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, which is 2,600 years ago. It has a very long history!
As a well-known top antique art appraisal expert, I am extremely confident in my ability to judge the age of antique art. I will never make any mistakes in this regard!
So I can say with absolute certainty that the Golden Mask of Cat God Best is definitely a priceless national treasure-level antique artwork, perhaps the most valuable treasure in this sunken treasure!
Matisse, push the searchlight closer and let the professionals watching this live broadcast take a good look at this national treasure-level antique work of art. I believe they will find something! "
"No problem, Steven"
Matisse nodded in response, and then swam to Ye Tian's side, using the searchlight in his hand to shine directly on the golden mask of Cat God Best!
The live broadcast screen suddenly lit up and became clearer!
“Wow! It’s so beautiful!”
Almost everyone exclaimed in amazement again, and those professionals acted even more exaggeratedly, instantly falling into a state of ecstasy.
As Ye Tian slowly turned his right hand, more details of the cat **** Best's golden mask were displayed one by one on the live broadcast screen and in front of everyone's eyes!
It only took a moment for the professionals in the field of antique art collection on the live broadcast side to confirm that the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian was accurate and beyond doubt!
This is the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat **** Bastet. It is a priceless national treasure-level antique artwork. No matter which museum it is placed in, it will be a treasure!
After confirming this, the field of antique art suddenly became more lively. Everyone was excited and discussed excitedly. The focus was naturally this golden mask of the Cat God!
Many professionals in Egypt are even more excited, almost crazy!
The eyes of these guys turned red instantly. They all wished they could rush to the bottom of the English Channel immediately, **** the golden mask of the Cat God from Ye Tian, and take it as their own!
But they also know that this is simply impossible.
Without paying a huge price, there is no way you can get the Golden Mask of the Cat God from that greedy **** Steven! That is a master who will never suffer losses, and has never done any business at a loss!
It is almost impossible to ask that guy Steven for the Golden Mask of the Cat God. The poor Spaniards have learned from the past. Do they want a gold coin back?
Robbing that guy Steven and getting back the golden mask of the Cat God is probably the stupidest idea.
There is only one result of doing that. Not only will you not be able to grab the Golden Mask of the Cat God, you will probably lose many lives on your side, and incur the **** revenge of that **** Steven!
Who doesn’t know that he is a **** who has no taboos and is determined to retaliate? Killing people is like killing chickens. Only when you are tired of living do you provoke that crazy bastard!
Thinking of this, many Egyptians couldn't help but have splitting headaches. For a moment, they couldn't think of any feasible solution!
After showing the cat **** Best's golden mask over and over again, Ye Tian was ready to put away the mask and continue to explore other things in the wooden box.
At this moment, Chandler's excited voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, can you evaluate the value of this golden mask of Best, the Cat God? I think everyone is very interested in how much this ancient Egyptian artifact is worth.
In addition, can you introduce the cat **** Best and the reason for the birth of this golden mask? Everyone doesn’t know much about this aspect of knowledge and would also like to know it! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped what he was doing.
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said:
“I cannot give an accurate valuation for this golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat **** Best, because this top-notch antique artwork is simply priceless, and it is no exaggeration to say it is priceless.
Here, I can introduce to you the worship of the cat **** in ancient Egypt and the possible reasons for the birth of the golden mask of the cat **** Best, so that you can understand some relevant knowledge."
"That's great, Steven, we're all ears!"
Chandler responded, still very excited.
Countless live broadcasts suddenly became quiet. Everyone thought that Ye Tian’s explanation must be very interesting.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"You may have heard that cats living in ancient Egypt are the happiest cats in the world. They are carefree, enjoy delicious food, and can enjoy treatment like gods!
Imagine living in a place and time where threats lurk in every corner of your home, with snakes hiding in jars, rats in barns, and scorpions under cradles.
This time and place is ancient Egypt. At that time, people were surrounded by dangers, but there was one animal that could make people's living environment safer, and it was the cat.
It is precisely because of the help provided to people in daily life, coupled with the ancient Egyptian tradition of worshiping the foreign object god, that the worship of the cat **** slowly developed in ancient Egypt, and everything went smoothly!
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun **** once transformed into a cat and defeated Apophis, the python that prevented the sun from rising in the east and setting in the west. Because of this, the ancient Egyptians regarded cats as the incarnation of gods.
As early as the Second Dynasty of Egypt, around 2890 BC, worship of the cat **** Bast appeared in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. She was once the war goddess of Lower Egypt.
After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the priestly role of the cat **** Bast changed, and he gradually transformed from the **** of war to the patron saint of the family. He symbolized the warmth and joy of the family and was widely loved by the ancient Egyptians.
At the same time, the image of the cat **** Best has also changed, mainly appearing as a cat-faced woman with a female body. Regarding this, you can see from this mask, which is somewhat charming and enchanting!
During the period of Greek rule, the priesthood of the cat **** Beste changed again and transformed into a **** representing the moon. He was as famous as Artemis, the **** of hunting, and was equally respected.
Later, during the rule of the Roman Empire, especially the rise of Christianity, the ancient Egyptians' tradition of worshiping alien gods gradually became annihilated and disappeared in the long river of history.
In the history of ancient Egypt, people not only raised and loved cats, but also buried them generously, giving them the greatest honor after death, making them mummies and statues.
The Brooklyn Museum in New York has a large collection of ancient Egyptian cultural relics, many of which are about cats, such as mummies and statues, which reflect the worship of the cat **** by the ancient Egyptians.
In addition, in the British Museum, we can also see many cat mummies and various cat statues. The most famous one is the bronze statue of the cat **** Best!
Statues of Cat God Best are relatively common. There are statues from various periods in ancient Egypt. However, as far as I know, there is only one golden mask of Cat God Best!
Due to limited time, I will only talk so much about the worship of the cat **** by the ancient Egyptians. If you want to know more about it, you can check it out online or go to the library to learn more!
Okay, we have to continue exploring. After this Golden Mask of Cat God Best, I believe there are more surprises waiting for us, and I also look forward to discovering miracles again! "
After saying that, Ye Tian put the golden mask of the Cat God in his hand into the red sandalwood box, then put the red sandalwood box into a sealed bag and tied it to himself.
Similar to the previous golden crown, he plans to take this golden mask of the cat **** to the surface personally and then bring it back to New York!
He had just packed away the Golden Mask of Cat God Best, when Raymond couldn't wait to reach out and take out the statue from the wooden box.
As soon as the statue appeared, there was a cry of exclamation on the live broadcast.
"Oh my god! It's actually a golden statue of the cat **** Best. Is it possible that this box is full of gold products related to the cat **** Best? It's simply too exaggerated!"
