Carl continued to introduce the quaint and rusty seven-branch bronze candlestick, while the rest of the antique shop listened quietly.

"After receiving this seven-branch bronze candlestick and bringing it back to Jerusalem, my colleagues and friends, and I carefully studied this bronze candlestick and asked an expert to make an appraisal.

Based on the corrosion of this seven-branch bronze candlestick and the local climatic conditions in Bethlehem, we basically determined that the time this bronze candlestick was buried underground was about 800 years.

In other words, this seven-branched bronze candlestick was buried underground from the 12th to the 13th century. That era was the period when the Crusaders and the Arabs fought here.

This is a seven-branch bronze candlestick engraved with Hebrew and has a strong Judaism. It is a religious item for the pagans, both for the crusaders and for the Arabs.

In that crazy era, the danger of having such a seven-branch bronze candlestick is imagined. Perhaps for safety reasons, the owner of this bronze candlestick buried it."

Hearing this, Ye Tian smiled and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Carl's words.

The Israeli cultural relics experts who were also in this antique shop also nodded without objection.

Seeing the reactions given by Ye Tian and the others, the eyes of the rest of the scene lit up, and everyone's eyes as they looked at the seven-branched bronze candlestick became much hotter.

It can be basically confirmed that the seven-branch bronze candlestick has a history of at least 800 years and is well preserved. It should be a valuable antique artwork.

What everyone is most concerned about now is how much the price of the seven-branched bronze candlestick is, and will that guy Steven take action to take it down?

If Steven takes the seven-branched bronze candlestick, then he can hear his identification conclusion and the valuation he gave, perhaps another huge surprise!

After a moment of pause, Carl continued:

"In addition to identifying the marks of rust and in combination with climatic conditions, we also identified the inscriptions engraved on this bronze candlestick and the specific shape of the bronze candlestick.

On the base of this bronze candlestick and on the seven lamps, there are many Hebrew words engraved. Among these Hebrews, some Hebrew words that were born around the CPC appeared.

From this we can judge that the time for casting this bronze candlestick will not exceed the first century BC, which means that this bronze candlestick is definitely not a historical relic from ancient times.

Let’s take a look at the contents of these Hebrews, which are all blessing words and some words used for sacrifices and worship. There is nothing surprising about the age and creators that cannot be judged based on this.

Since the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, the Jews lost their capital, were expelled from their homeland, and began to wander around the world, Hebrew has ceased evolution and development.

For a long period of two thousand years, Hebrew gradually disappeared as spoken language and only existed in written form. It was not until the second half of the nineteenth century that Hebrew began to slowly recover.

Based on these Hebrew words engraved on bronze candlesticks, we can only determine that this bronze candlestick is not an ancient artifact, but it is still impossible to determine the specific age of it being cast.

From the shape, although this seven-branch bronze candlestick is simple in shape and exudes a solemn atmosphere, it is different from the seven-branch golden candlestick described in related classics.

On this seven-branch bronze candlestick, the height of the lamp in the middle is relatively higher, while the six lamps on both sides are relatively low. Combined, it looks like a towering mountain.

Based on these characteristics, we tend to think that this seven-branched bronze candlestick was secretly cast by a Jewish family in Bethlehem and used to be enshrined in homes or synagogues.

When they cast this bronze candlestick, they imitated it based on a bronze candlestick left in history. There are many bronze candlestick cultural relics like this.

The casting time should be around the 10th century AD. By the end of the 12th century, Saladin's army occupied Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, and this bronze candlestick was buried immediately."

"Smacking"

There was a warm applause from the antique shop, and everyone at the scene began to applaud Carl for this wonderful explanation.

Ye Tian also gave him his applause and said with admiration:

"It's so wonderful, Carl, it seems that you have put in some effort to study this seven-branch bronze candlestick, and you will have such a wonderful explanation.

What I want to know now is, what is the price for this seven-branch bronze candlestick? If the price is reasonable, I can consider taking action and taking this cultural relics into my pocket!"

Hearing this, the scene immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Tian and at the antique shop owner Carl.

Carl looked at the bronze candlestick again, his eyes full of doubt.

"Did we all get into the wrong way to identify it? This seven-branched bronze candlestick is actually a priceless top antique artwork, so Steven is ready to take action?"

With suspicion in his heart, Carl turned his head and looked at Ye Tian deeply, then fell into deep thought.

After a long struggle in thought, Carl gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and quoted the price of this seven-branch bronze candlestick.

"Steven, the offer for this seven-branch bronze candlestick is $120,000. If you can accept this price, you can make this antique deal and take away this bronze candlestick.

After completing the transaction, I hope you can fulfill your promise, publicly explain your appraisal conclusion, and give a valuation for this bronze candlestick to resolve my confusion!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his right hand and said with a smile:

"No problem, $120,000, the transaction is completed! Carl, after completing the transaction and getting the money and getting the money, I will naturally disclose my appraisal conclusion. Of course, that's just a single word!

In addition, I need you to issue a certificate document that states the origin of this seven-branch bronze candlestick and the transaction price, so that I can take it away from Israel.”

After the words came to an end, the scene became completely quiet.

Everyone, including the antique shop owner Carl, stood there in a daze, staring at Ye Tian in a daze, with incredible eyes.

This determines? The price of a cent is not paid, is it true? The speed is a little too fast!

Could it be that the seven-branch bronze candlestick is really a priceless and top-notch antique artwork? So Steven did not bargain and reached the deal as fast as possible to avoid another change!

Carl looked at the bronze candlestick again, still full of doubt and confusion.

Unfortunately, the bronze candlestick in his eyes was no different from before, and it still looked the same, quietly placed on the shelves.

After pondering for a while, Carl then stretched out his right hand and nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, the deal! Steven, after the money is finished, this bronze candlestick belongs to you. I can issue a certificate for you!"

As he said that, he and Ye Tian had already held their right hands together and reached the antique deal.

At the moment of shook hands, Carl suddenly felt heartbroken, as if he had lost a treasure!

"Are you also robbed by Steven, the bastard, and became another ghost under the knife of this guy? Isn't this possible?"

When the transaction is reached, the next thing will be simple.

About ten minutes later, Carl received a confirmation call from the bank and immediately handed over the written proof documents to Ye Tian, ​​bringing a perfect end to the antique transaction.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian picked up the seven-branch bronze candlestick from the shelves and put it to his hand.

Compared to before, his movements have become extremely cautious and cautious this time, and an extremely bright smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this scene, Carl's heart immediately sank, as if he had sunk into the bottomless abyss, his whole body was cold!

Joshua, who was standing a little later, and those famous antique dealers and antique art appraisal experts in Jerusalem, each felt that something was wrong.

Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his explanation. Everyone wanted to hear what kind of appraisal conclusion he would give and what amazing valuation he would give.

Before Carl could wake up, Joshua couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, look at your expression. This seven-branched bronze candlestick should be a priceless top antique artwork. Since that's the case, let's talk about your identification conclusions, everyone is very interested."

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the senior Israeli official, then glanced at everyone at the scene, and then said proudly:

"You're right, Joshua, this seven-branch bronze candlestick is indeed a priceless work of antique art, very rare, and probably has a secret hidden!

I agree with some of the contents of Carl and his team's identification of this bronze candlestick, but I don't agree with some of the contents. This is the reason why I bought this bronze candlestick.

The bronze candlestick was buried underground for about 800 years. I believe that Carl and his friends interpreted it correctly. I agree with these identification contents.

What I don't agree with is Carl's conclusion on the casting time of this seven-branch bronze candlestick and its importance, and this is the value of this bronze candlestick.

In my opinion, this seven-branch bronze candlestick was cast even longer. It should have been cast in the late 1st century AD and is likely to be worshipped in the Second Jewish Temple. …”

Before he finished speaking, the scene was completely in full swing.

All the Israelites in this antique shop, without exception, were all holding their heads and exclaiming wildly.

"Oh my God! I heard it right? This seven-branched bronze candlestick is the holy weapon of the Second Temple. How is this possible?"
