In the new building of the Berlin Museum, Ye Tian is still explaining, and the subject of the explanation is still the treasure of the Berlin Museum, the colorful bust of Queen Nefertiti of Egypt.
"This colorful bust is 47 centimeters tall and weighs about 20 kilograms. It does not use any organic materials. Although it has a long history of more than 3,300 years, it is well preserved with minimal damage.
The expression technique of the statue of Nefertiti is extremely realistic, and it looks just like a real person. Its noble and elegant shape and exquisite and beautiful facial features are extremely beautiful. She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the world.
The right eye pupil of the statue is inlaid with black natural crystal, the white of the eye is made of chalk rock, and the eye socket is sealed with beeswax. The entire statue is composed of six colors: grey, yellow, green, black, white and skin color.
After the German Egyptian archaeologist Bochard discovered this statue, he wrote in his diary, 'The use of color in this statue is so advanced that it is simply indescribable, and all the words used seem redundant.'
He also described, 'When this colorful statue was dug out, it was the most vivid piece of art in Egypt. This thing was almost intact, except that the ear was knocked off a little, and the left eye was somewhat damaged.'"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.
"Wow! This sculpture is so beautiful, it's so mesmerizing"
"No wonder the bust of Nefertiti became the first cover girl in history. Her facial contours and curves are like that of a top supermodel. No, she is more beautiful than all supermodels! ”
Amidst the exclamation, several Berlin museum executives and antique art appraisal experts who accompanied Ye Tian and others on the tour couldn't help but nodded slightly, and they all secretly admired it.
This **** Steven really knows everything and knows everything. He actually understands the Nefertiti statue so thoroughly, which is admirable.
After a pause, Ye Tian's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.
“Let’s take a look at the life of Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen. As one of the most important, powerful and status queens in the history of ancient Egypt, Nefertiti’s life was extremely legendary.
The background of Nefertiti is full of mystery. Some theories believe that she may be the Mitanni princess Taduhba, who was originally betrothed to Amenophis III but later married his son. .
Another school of thought holds that Nefertiti is the daughter of Amenophis III. In this way, Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti became half-siblings, but this The claim is not very credible.
There is also a theory that Nefertiti’s father was a senior official in the court of Amenophis III and later became Akhenaten’s confidant. In short, Nefertiti was born in ancient Egypt. top level.
After Nefertiti married Pharaoh Akhenaten, she assisted her husband in launching unprecedented reforms. They created their own Sun Cult and advocated weakening the power of the high priests. To this end, they moved the capital to Amana.
They built a dazzling and prosperous capital city in the center of Egypt's barren desert. It was actually a revolutionary base surrounded by cliffs on three sides and facing the Nile River to fight against the powerful high priests.
In the new capital city of Amana, Nefertiti and Akhenaten were equals. She was not only the queen of Pharaoh Akhenaten, but also a ruler with equal status to him, co-regent and ruling Egypt. .
In some of the existing ancient Egyptian murals, we can also see that Nefertiti and Akhenaten each drove a chariot, racing side by side, which had never been seen before Nefertiti.
It was also after Nefertiti that ancient Egyptian women had more freedom and rights. They were valued as much as men, enjoyed the right to a good education, and had the right to inherit property.
Egyptian women can file lawsuits against unfair things. They have their own thoughts and minds and insist on their own ideas. However, these rights were not available to women again until the twentieth century."
"It seems that this is one of the original feminists, indeed worth remembering"
David said jokingly, and everyone else at the scene smiled and nodded.
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, then continued:
“Nefertiti was not only a feminist, some even believed that she was better than Akhenaten because she had the right to execute her enemies, and this punishment had been the right of the Egyptian pharaohs since ancient times.
According to legend, after the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti took over the throne of Egypt. Because of the original reforms, they made too many enemies, and Nefertiti could only bear the final price alone.
Just when the country was on the verge of collapse, Nefertiti stepped forward and took a series of emergency measures, sacrificing everything to save the situation. However, the credibility of this legend is not very high..."
While explaining, Ye Tian also turned on perspective and secretly looked through the colorful sculpture in front of him.
Unfortunately, apart from Nefertiti's stunning beauty, he did not discover any other hidden secrets.
This colorful sculpture is not a mummy, it is just a sculpture. There are no mysterious characters that have not been deciphered, and there are no hidden compartments inside.
As the treasure of the Berlin Museum, this sculpture has been studied extremely thoroughly. Even if there is a secret, it has been discovered and interpreted by others. How could it be preserved to this day!
While talking, five or six minutes had passed, and Ye Tian's explanation was coming to an end.
“During her reign, Nefertiti was the most influential woman in Egypt. She was revered by the Egyptian people like a goddess, and she ruled Egypt with her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten.
She is the queen who has appeared most frequently in temples and monuments in the history of Egypt, unprecedented. She is likely to hold the position of high priest. Traditionally, this position can only be held by Egyptian pharaohs.
However, we know almost nothing about the life of this stunningly beautiful Egyptian queen. Around 1336 BC, Nefertiti suddenly disappeared from history.
There are many theories about the whereabouts of Nefertiti in history. Some say that she was deposed, while others say that she and Akhenaten were overthrown by the people, because the Egyptian people regarded the Sun Religion as a heresy.
The latter statement is relatively credible. After Tutankhamun succeeded to the throne, anything that could evoke the memories of Akhenaten and Nefertiti was systematically wiped out, leaving nothing behind. How many things.
To this day, no funeral objects of Nefertiti have been found in Akhenaten's tomb, which shows that Nefertiti was never buried there, and the queen's official death record is also unknown.
In Tomb No. 35 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, archaeologists once discovered a severely damaged mummy, whose face was completely smashed. This mummy is considered to be Nefertiti.
This act of destruction is an extremely vicious curse in the ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead". Her face was damaged so that she could not speak her name to God and enter the afterlife.
Her shroud was also torn, which originally had the name of the deceased written on it, allowing the undead to recognize their body. In this way, the soul cannot return, and the deceased will be tortured between life and death. .
Nefertiti’s name and many stories have mysteriously disappeared from historical records. In many ancient Egyptian murals, her face has been artificially chiselled, and only a few clues remain in the ruins of some ancient temples and palaces."
"Hey——!"
There was a sigh at the scene, and everyone was lamenting the fate of Nefertiti.
Such a beautiful queen with a peerless appearance had such a tragic fate after her death. It is indeed a bit too desolate and depressing!
Ye Tian's voice did not pause at all, and continued to be heard, reaching the ears of everyone present.
"In 1912, German archaeologist Borchardt discovered this stunningly beautiful colorful sculpture under the ruins of an ancient building in Amana, Egypt. Once it was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
In the second year, Bochard transported the colorful sculpture of Nefertiti to Germany. After several twists and turns, this priceless treasure came to the Berlin Museum and became the treasure of the Berlin Museum.
This beautiful sculpture is not only the treasure of the Berlin Museum, but also the most beautiful piece of antique art among all the major museums in Germany, and the treasure with the most artistic and research value.
There is still a lot of controversy surrounding this priceless treasure. From the first time this colorful statue was publicly displayed in the Berlin Museum in 1924, Egypt made a claim and has always persisted.
However, Germany has always refused to return this extremely beautiful statue. Hitler once said, 'Germany will never return the head of Nefertiti. This is a work of art, a treasure, a real treasure',..."
Hearing this, many Germans present could not help but have a look of embarrassment on their faces, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, an employee of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company suddenly asked:
"Steven, can you tell me the value of the bust of Nefertiti? It must be an extremely astonishing price, right?"
Ye Tian turned to look at the company employee, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, that is indeed a jaw-dropping price. As I said just now, this colorful sculpture is the most beautiful and valuable treasure among all German antique artworks.
The value of such a treasure cannot be measured by money at all. If you have to give an estimate, then this priceless treasure is worth at least 600 million US dollars, no upper limit! ”
Before he finished speaking, the scene immediately exploded with exclamations.
"Oh my god! Did I hear it right? It's worth at least 600 million US dollars. This is too exaggerated!"
"Wow! With US$600 million, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world, and the most valuable one too!"
