After visiting the Parthenon, it was already around 1:30 noon.
Next, Ye Tian and the others visited the Erechtheion Temple, which is located to the north of the Parthenon and not far away.
Like the Parthenon, the Erechtheion is also recognized as a symbol of Western culture, but its importance is slightly less than that of the Parthenon.
This famous temple building is also located on the square on the top of the Acropolis in Athens, complementing the Parthenon just around the corner.
The Erechtheion was built between 421 and 405 BC. It was originally a stone temple where the remains of the Eight Saints were placed. According to legend, it was a battle of wits between Athena and Poseidon for the protection of Athens. The place.
This temple has three temples, dedicated to Zeus, the main **** in Greek mythology, Poseidon, the sea god, and Hephaestus, the blacksmith god.
Between these three temples, there are two unique colonnades connecting them. There are square holes in the ceiling and floor of the northern colonnade, which are said to have been pierced by Poseidon's trident. broken.
Like the statue of Athena enshrined in the Parthenon, the statue of Zeus, Poseidon, the **** of sea, and the statue of Hephaestus, the **** of blacksmiths, enshrined in the Erechtheion. Has disappeared.
But compared to the Parthenon, the current situation of the Erechtheion is somewhat better.
In particular, the famous Goddess Colonnade is relatively intact. Through this Goddess Colonnade, people can see the original magnificence and magnificence of the Erechtheion Temple.
When visiting this famous ancient Greek temple, Ye Tian did not forget to turn on his clairvoyance ability and completely see through every corner of the temple, every stone pillar, and the depths of the underground. Again.
Especially at the feet of the six ancient Greek girl sculptures in the Colonnade of the Goddess. According to legend, there is the tomb of Cecrops, the mythical ancestor of Athens and King of Attica.
It was this King Cecrops who witnessed the battle between Athena and Poseidon, and was a witness to the battle between the two gods to protect Greece.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian did not find any cemetery at the feet of those ancient Greek girl statues, and naturally there were no bones of the ancestors of Athens, only some fragments of antique cultural relics from earlier periods.
Deep underground in other parts of the temple, Ye Tian also made some discoveries, but they were just discoveries and it was impossible to own them.
After leaving the Erechtheion Temple, the group of them descended from the top of the Acropolis and visited the ruins of the Temple of Zeus not far away.
Compared to the two temples on the top of the Acropolis in Athens, the Temple of Zeus is even more dilapidated.
The Temple of Zeus is located in the village of Olympia in Athens, Greece. It was built to worship the main **** Zeus. It was once the religious center of ancient Greece and one of the largest temples in ancient Greece.
When this famous temple was built around 470 BC, there were 104 Corinthian stone pillars supporting the temple, which was quite spectacular in scale.
The statue of Zeus once enshrined in this temple and created by Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, is more than twelve meters high and is inlaid with countless gold, ivory, and various precious gems.
It is this dazzling statue of Zeus that was named one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
But today, this magnificent temple has long been destroyed, leaving only 15 Corinthian stone pillars standing tall, telling people about the glory of the Temple of Zeus.
And the statue of Zeus, which was more than twelve meters high, could not escape bad luck. As early as 426 AD, it was destroyed in a fire and disappeared completely.
Ye Tian and the others did not stay too long at the ruins of the Temple of Zeus. After taking a quick look around, they left by car and headed straight to the next stop.
The next stop on their tour was the famous National Archaeological Museum of Greece.
When the convoy arrived at the street where the National Archaeological Museum of Greece was located, Ye Tian saw from afar that Maria, the director of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, was waiting at the entrance of the museum with a group of experts and scholars.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
He knew very well that the reason why Maria and the others came out to greet him was not because of their good relationship with him, nor because they valued him very much.
The reason why these heavyweights in the field of Greek antique art collection are so enthusiastic is simply because of the upcoming exploration and because they promised to send people to participate in it.
One thing must be admitted. The Greeks attach great importance to and are extremely proud of their country's history and civilization. They have always spared no effort in protecting historical relics and related antiques!
This can be seen from the fact that they have been wrangling with the British government and the British Museum for decades, and have repeatedly claimed the Elgin Marbles and other Greek antiques.
While talking, Ye Tian and his convoy had arrived at the entrance of the museum and stopped end to end.
Mattis and the others immediately got out of the car and quickly set up a cordon. Ye Tian then turned on the perspective and thoroughly looked through the area within a radius of more than 200 meters without missing any corner.
The few security personnel who pretended to be tourists and were scattered among the crowd were also on alert, secretly watching the pedestrians and tourists coming and going in front of the museum.
After confirming that the scene was safe and there were no hidden dangers, Ye Tian and Matisse got out of the car and stood in the square in front of the museum.
At the same time, Maria and the others also walked down the steps and came closer.
"Good afternoon, Steven, come to the National Archaeological Museum of Greece for a drink. Nice to see you here. Pandemalis called me and told us the good news"
Maria walked forward with a bright smile on her face and greeted Ye Tian.
"Good afternoon, Maria, I am very happy to see you again. I have been admiring the National Archaeological Museum of Greece for a long time. I have long wanted to come here and have a good look. This time I can feast my eyes on it!"
Ye Tian said politely with a smile and hugged his old friend.
Next, Maria introduced several other senior officials of the museum. Ye Tian shook hands with these people one by one and got to know each other.
After being polite, Maria led Ye Tian and the others towards the museum gate.
While marching, Ye Tian repeated what he said to Pandemalis before to Maria.
After hearing what he said, Maria was silent for a moment, and then asked pretending to be curious:
"Stephen, can you determine the nationality of these ancient Roman shipwrecks you discovered on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea this time? Do they belong to the Roman Empire, Greece? Or other countries.
One more point, were the sculptures and other antique artifacts carried on these ancient Roman sunken ships transported from the Roman Empire to Greece, or from Greece to the Roman Empire? ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned to look at his old friend, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes, and it was fleeting.
He knew very well what Maria meant by her words!
If those ancient Roman shipwrecks are proven to have originated from Greece or belong to ancient Greece, then the Greek government will make a claim regardless of the location of the shipwrecks or what is inside.
If the sculptures and antiques in the sunken treasures are related to Greece, or were shipped from Greece, the Greeks will not let go of these treasures, and they will be more confident in claiming them.
This is the consistent style of the Greeks, and it is well known in the field of antique art collection and treasure hunting.
Don't look at the Greeks being so polite now. When this sunken treasure is salvaged and presented to everyone in the world, the Greeks will change their attitude!
This is a sure thing, there is absolutely no running away!
Ye Tian knew this very well and had been mentally prepared for it. He knew that it would be a matter of time before he had a fight with the Greeks.
But he didn't care at all. This kind of thing didn't happen once or twice. At worst, there would be more enemies and more protesters in Rockefeller Center Square. What would it matter?
"Maria, we don't know much about this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure. Some of the information needs to be kept secret for the time being. I cannot disclose it. I hope you can understand.
Please be patient and wait until the search for sunken treasures begins, and when we bring out the treasures that have been sleeping deep in the sea for the past one or two thousand years, the answer will naturally be revealed! ”
Ye Tian said with a smile and dealt with this problem.
"Okay, Steven, I hope your expedition to explore the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures goes well and give the world a huge surprise"
Maria continued and took a deep look at Ye Tian.
As soon as the words fell, the group of them walked into the museum gate and began another tour.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
In the Mycenaean exhibition hall of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of the No. 3 bulletproof glass showcase, admiring the antique artworks displayed in this showcase.
Behind and on both sides of them, many tourists from all over the world gathered, admiring the antique cultural relics displayed in the showcases and listening to Ye Tian's professional and exciting explanation.
“The golden mask you are seeing now is the famous Golden Mask of Agamemnon. It is the best evidence of Mycenaean civilization and one of the treasures of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece.
The two eyes of this golden mask are bulging and bright, and its broad face seems to take in everything. The two wide and slightly raised mustaches around the mouth are even more interesting.
Looking at these gold bull-head cups and wine glasses, the patterns are slender and the gold is as thin as paper. They were all made 3,600 years ago, which shows that the ancient Greek goldware manufacturing industry has reached a state of perfection.
After seeing this exquisite gold mask and other gold products, let’s talk about the stories hidden behind these antique artifacts. The name Agamemnon must sound very familiar to everyone.
Yes, this Agamemnon is the King of Mycenae in ancient Greek mythology. He was also the commander of the Greek army in the famous Trojan War. He led the coalition to defeat Troy, thus being praised throughout the ages..."
Next, Ye Tian told the story behind the golden mask of Agamemnon in an emotional voice, and everyone at the scene listened with interest, unconsciously immersed in it.
As for Maria, who was standing outside, and several top antique art appraisal experts from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, listening to Ye Tian's explanation, admiration flashed in their eyes.
