At the same time that Ye Tian walked into this antique store, two young clerks in the antique store walked quickly to the door, and happened to meet Ye Tian head-on.
Obviously, these two guys heard the noise on the street outside and wanted to go out to see what was going on and watch the excitement, but they were a little late.
Seeing these two guys approaching, Ye Tian stepped aside and gave way.
After these two guys passed by, he walked into the antique store and quickly took a look at the situation in the antique store.
This antique shop covers an area of about 200 square meters and is filled with a variety of antique cultural relics and works of art. As for the authenticity and value of these so-called antique cultural relics and works of art, it is another matter.
In the corner of the antique shop, there is a staircase leading to the second floor, and there may be a third floor above. It is unknown whether the upper floor is also filled with antiques and works of art!
As a well-known antique store located in the center of Old Cairo, the layout and furnishings of this antique store are full of North African Arabian style!
The goods in this antique store are mainly North African Arab-style antique cultural relics and artworks, such as various hand-made, beautifully crafted gold and silverware with a certain history, copper plates, carpets, etc.
There are also many stone carvings and wood carvings that appear to come from ancient Egypt, including many statues of ancient Egyptian gods, such as the statue of the sun **** Ra, the statue of the goddess of prosperity Hathor, and so on.
In addition, this antique store also has some antique artifacts and artworks from the Western world, such as sculptures and oil paintings, but the number is small and they have nothing to do with Christianity.
Maybe it’s because there have been more Chinese tourists visiting Cairo in recent years, and Chinese antiques and art collections are quite popular. Chinese tourists are also very generous and spend a lot of money!
Therefore, this antique store also displays some Chinese antique cultural relics, mainly various porcelains, and a few calligraphy and paintings. As for the quality, it goes without saying!
Then there are things from south of the Sahara Desert, that is, antique cultural relics and artworks from Black Africa, which are mainly various stone and wood carvings, with often exaggerated shapes and distinctive features.
In addition to the two clerks who ran out to watch the excitement, there was also a middle-aged clerk in the store who looked more stable, and an Arab man in his sixties, sitting on a chair in the antique store. Seems to be the boss!
In addition, there are several customers in this antique store who are admiring the so-called antique cultural relics and works of art displayed on the shelves, and they are all very interested.
While Ye Tian was observing the interior of the antique store, the middle-aged clerk standing behind the counter and the boss sitting on the chair were also looking at him.
Seeing that he had a Chinese face, the eyes of the two Egyptians lit up, and a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes at the same time!
Immediately afterwards, the two Egyptians carefully observed his appearance, and they seemed to have secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot!
Seeing their performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
The reason why these two Egyptian antique dealers behaved like this is actually very simple. They are now full of soldiers, lest Ye Tian come to their antique shop and loot it like crazy!
Even the Egyptian cultural relics authority has reminded them, and even all antique dealers in Egypt, to be more vigilant and to be careful of Ye Tian, lest they become the victim of his sword!
Because of this, whenever Chinese tourists walk into an antique store, they will immediately put their hearts in their throats and quickly identify whether the Chinese who comes in is the guy who makes everyone fearful. !
If so, then you must be extremely careful. You would rather not do this guy's business than let this guy madly loot your antique store. After all, no one wants to be the protagonist of a tragedy!
If not, then everything will be fine. Whether you can make a fortune is another matter. At least you don’t have to worry!
Ye Tian understood the situation of this antique store in a blink of an eye.
Next, he greeted the antique shop owner and the middle-aged clerk according to Islamic etiquette, and exchanged greetings.
Then he smiled and said in English with a slight London accent:
“Can I take a look at these antiques and artworks in the store? If I see something I like, I want to take some videos and pictures with my phone, and then consult with friends before deciding whether to buy it. Is that okay? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged clerk and antique shop owner, waiting for them to make a decision.
As a former British colony, most of Egypt's intellectuals understand English, especially the Cairo antique dealers. He is not worried that the two Egyptian antique dealers cannot understand English. This should not be a problem.
As for the slightly stiff London accent, he did it deliberately in order to confuse the two Egyptians so as not to remind them of his true identity!
As he expected, these two Egyptian antique dealers understood and spoke English fluently. Although their accents were a bit special, they could still be understood!
The middle-aged clerk did not immediately respond, agree or refuse, but turned to look at the antique shop owner sitting on the chair, asking for his opinion with his eyes.
The antique shop owner thought for a moment, looked at Ye Tian again, then shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm very sorry that you can't take videos and photos in my antique store, but you can appreciate every antique artifact and artwork displayed here. If you like that one, we can introduce it!
When you buy the corresponding antique cultural relics and works of art, those things truly belong to you. Of course, you can take video materials and photos, or you can ask others for advice, but that has nothing to do with us."
Hearing this, Ye Tian pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, then I will just appreciate these exquisite antique artifacts and works of art without taking videos or pictures"
Afterwards, Ye Tian walked towards the shelf closest to the entrance of the antique store, pretending to seriously appreciate the so-called antique cultural relics and works of art displayed on this shelf.
Most of the things placed on this shelf are so-called antique cultural relics and artworks from ancient Egypt, or rather ancient Egyptian style, mainly stone carvings.
There are stone slabs engraved with a large number of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and patterns, as well as statues of ancient Egyptian gods and pharaohs, as well as some ancient Egyptian dolls, and other things that look like antique artifacts.
Ye Tian admired these so-called ancient Egyptian antiques and works of art one by one, looking at them very seriously.
While he was talking, he came to an irregular stone slab engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and various exquisite patterns, and began to admire it.
After a moment, he suddenly pointed at a set of pictures on the stone slab and said:
"If I read it correctly, this green figure seems to be Geb, the **** of earth in ancient Egyptian mythology. I have seen his statue in the Egyptian National Museum before.
What do the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and patterns engraved on this stone slab tell us? Are they ancient Egyptian myths? I wonder if you can introduce it? I'm very interested"
As he spoke, Ye Tian turned to look at the middle-aged clerk.
The moment he turned his head, his eyes quickly swept across a stone sculpture placed in the corner of the shelf, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, but it was fleeting!
Fortunately, he always wears sunglasses and is not worried about being noticed!
It was a seemingly ancient sculpture of the Key of Life, with several ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs engraved on it and a portrait of the sun **** Ra!
The Key to Life sculpture placed on the shelf does not seem to have anything special. Like other so-called antique cultural relics and works of art on the shelf, it looks more like a fake, and it is a crudely made and fabricated fake!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, the life key sculpture radiated an almost purple-black light, which was extremely dazzling!
Just from the color it radiates, Ye Tian can be sure that this is an antique cultural relic with a long history of three to four thousand years, and it is a top-notch antique cultural relic, worth a lot of money!
Because the content engraved on it was very rare and even a bit deviant, it was regarded as a fiction and was thrown into the corner of the shelf without anyone paying attention!
Hearing Ye Tian's inquiry, the middle-aged clerk looked at the stone slab engraved with the earth god's cloth, and then began to introduce it!
