Similar to the situation at the door, this secret room located deep underground has no traps and is very safe.
After entering this secret room, everyone could see clearly what was going on here.
The area of this secret room is not large, only about thirty or forty square meters. It is square and square, just like an ordinary room, except that it was built in ancient Rome more than two thousand years ago and is located underground. deep.
In addition to the statue of the 'First Three Heads' facing the door of the secret chamber, a little further back on both sides of Caesar's bust, there is also a stone platform about fifty or sixty centimeters high, with a rectangular statue on it. box.
The two boxes were covered with dust, and no one knew what was inside.
Of course, Ye Tian is not included here.
He has already seen clearly the situation in this underground secret room and the things hidden here through perspective. He is also well aware of the value of these antique cultural relics!
In addition, behind the bust of Caesar, close to the back wall, there are several boxes, large or small, and two statues more than one meter high.
We still don’t know what those boxes contain and who the figures carved on the two statues are. The answer can only be found by walking closer, wiping off the dust attached to them, and looking carefully and studying them!
Along the walls surrounding this secret room, there are several stone benches, bronze candlesticks placed in several niches, and an ancient stone bed in front of the wall to the right of the stone door.
It can be seen from this that in BC, this place was once used as a refuge room to avoid danger, and it was also a secret treasure room!
By extension, there should have been ventilation ducts and secret passages leading to other nearby buildings or the wild, so that the people hiding in this secret room could breathe smoothly and escape from here!
However, these ventilation ducts and secret passages have been completely sealed long ago and cannot communicate with the outside world, so a large amount of filthy air has accumulated here.
After entering this ancient secret room, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the secret room, and then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, according to my observation, the underground chamber built by Gaius Marius now has only one passage behind us, and the original ventilation ducts and secret passages leading to other places have been sealed.
Because of this, the air here cannot circulate and a large amount of filthy air accumulates. However, many antiques hidden here have successfully avoided oxidation and have been preserved almost perfectly.
In particular, the bronze busts of the First Triumvirate, which can be said to be the best-preserved ancient Roman statues discovered so far, and the wooden boxes in the secret room have been able to avoid decay and have been preserved to this day.
From an archaeological point of view, this situation could not be better, but as we discover and open up the passage behind us, some oxidation reactions will inevitably occur among the antique artifacts hidden here.
This level of oxidation reaction is still acceptable. When we take out these antique cultural relics from ancient Rome and process them a little, we can show their most perfect side and let them shine again! ”
While saying these words, Ye Tian was also pretending to look at the ground seriously and leading everyone forward.
Hearing his words, Bishop Kent and Giovanni who followed them all nodded and had no objections.
While he was talking, Ye Tian had already arrived in front of the statue of the 'First Three Alliance'. He immediately stopped and admired these three ancient Roman busts again.
Following his actions, everyone else also stopped, either admiring the statues of these three ancient Roman giants or looking at the situation in the secret room. Everyone's eyes shone with excitement.
"Wow! This is really an amazing treasure. There is no doubt that the discovery of this ancient Roman treasure will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"Who would have thought! There is such an ancient treasure buried deep underground in the center of Rome, and this treasure has a very close relationship with Julius Caesar. It is simply incredible!"
While everyone was marveling and sighing, Ye Tian stepped out again and walked straight into the triangle area composed of the statues of the three ancient Roman giants, Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus.
But Bishop Kent and David, who were following behind, stopped and stared at Ye Tian's back to see what he would do!
In a few steps, Ye Tian came to the bust of Caesar and stopped about half a meter away from the stone platform.
He first stared at the bust of Caesar in front of him, then looked at the stone platform under the statue, then took out a brand new white towel and began to wipe away the dust and moss attached to the statue.
With his actions, the bust of Caesar, which had been hidden deep underground for more than two thousand years, finally revealed its true appearance again and appeared in front of everyone.
This is an ancient bronze statue. It is in a very good state of preservation. There is only a thin layer of green patina on the surface. Instead of damaging the statue, it adds a sense of historical vicissitudes to the statue.
The reason for this situation is that the statue has been hidden deep underground for a long time and is completely isolated from the outside air. In addition, the airtightness here is very good, there is almost no water seepage, and it is relatively dry.
Such an environment is undoubtedly very conducive to the preservation of antique cultural relics, and can preserve some ancient antique cultural relics as completely as possible.
Similar situations also occurred in the famous ancient Egyptian pyramids.
It is precisely because they are buried deep underground, completely isolated from the outside air, and have a dry climate that the coffins and mummies of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs can be preserved for thousands of years without decaying!
The bronze statue of Caesar in front of us is based on the shape of Caesar's chest and above. Together with the square base underneath, it is about sixty or seventy centimeters high and placed on a marble platform.
The image of Caesar depicted in it is wearing ancient Roman plate armor and a cloak on his shoulders. He hangs straight behind his back. He has a resolute face, deep and courageous eyes, and stares straight ahead, naturally showing a sense of selflessness. The kingly spirit! !
This is exactly the image of Caesar when he was in his prime, leading the Roman army across the world and fighting everywhere, and it was probably the image when he made an alliance with Pompey and Crassus to form the first three alliances.
Looking at this ancient Roman statue from more than two thousand years ago, facing the most famous statue in Western history, which can even be said to be the greatest military strategist and politician in Western history, everyone can't help but feel moved. I feel so shocked!
The scene fell silent, leaving only bursts of rapid or gentle breathing, and no other sounds.
After a while, Ye Tian woke up first and then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, the statue of Caesar in front of you should be the earliest and most perfect statue of Caesar ever discovered. It is more than ten or twenty years earlier than the bust of Caesar discovered in France.
According to my judgment, this statue was created during the period when Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus made an alliance to form the first three-headed alliance, which was around 60 BC.
If my judgment is correct, then I can say with absolute certainty that among all the statues of Julius Caesar that have been discovered, and even among all the ancient Roman statues, this bust of Julius Caesar is the most valuable."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the scene.
"Yes, Steven, this is definitely the most perfectly preserved and best-carved statue of Caesar I have ever seen. Standing in front of this statue, I feel as if I have traveled through time and space and am facing Caesar directly. Great Emperor!"
"Wow! Looking at this bronze statue of Caesar and the statues of Pompey and Crassus, I can even imagine a scene where the famous first three allies in history are sitting together and discussing Alliance matters
‘No measure taken by Rome shall violate the will of one of the three of us.’ What an aspiration and lofty sentiment! Being lucky enough to participate in this exploration and discovering this statue of Julius Caesar is the greatest honor of my life! ”
Before everyone’s exclamations and sighs of emotion could end, Antonio couldn’t wait to continue:
"Stephen, if your identification is accurate and this statue of Julius Caesar was indeed created in 60 BC when the Triumvirate formed the Covenant, then this is definitely the earliest statue of Julius Caesar that has been discovered.
More importantly, the creation time of this bronze statue of Caesar is very clear and the timing is special. It witnessed the formation of the famous "First Three Alliances" in history, which can be said to be unique!
As you said, if these can be confirmed, then there is no doubt that this bronze statue of Caesar is definitely the most valuable of all ancient Roman statues that have been discovered, and its value is immeasurable! ”
Ye Tian looked at this old friend who was so excited that he was almost crazy, and then said with a smile:
"I have full confidence in my eyesight and judgment. I am confident that I will never be wrong. And I believe that we will soon find evidence to prove these inferences and completely understand the origin of the three statues in front of us!"
