Chapter two thousand one hundred and forty-eight priceless treasures

In the new Berlin Museum, Ye Tian is still giving an explanation. The subject of the explanation is still the treasure of the Berlin Museum, a colorful bust of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti.

"This colorful bust is 47 cm high and weighs about twenty kilograms. It does not use any organic materials. Although it has a long history of more than 3,300 years, it is well preserved and has extremely small damage.

The performance technique of the Nefertiti statue is extremely realistic, and looks no different from a real person. Its noble and elegant shape and exquisite and beautiful facial features can be called beautiful and is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the world.

The pupil of the right eye of the statue is inlaid with black natural crystal, the whites of the eyes are chalk rocks, and the eye sockets are sealed with beeswax. The entire statue consists of six colors: gray, yellow, green, black, white and skin color.

After discovering this statue by German Egyptian archaeologist Bohart, he wrote in his diary that, "The color application of this statue is very advanced and cannot be described, and all the words appear redundant."

He also described, ‘When the colorful statue was dug out, it had the most vivid work of Egypt’s art. It was almost intact, but the ears were a little bit off, and the left eye was a little bit defective’”

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of marvel at the scene.

"Wow! This sculpture is so beautiful, it's simply fascinating."

"No wonder Nefertiti's bust was the first cover girl in history. Her facial contours and curves are like a top supermodel. No, she is more beautiful than all supermodels!"

Amidst the marvels, the senior Berlin Museum and the experts in the Berlin Museum who accompanied Ye Tian and the others to visit and tour, they all nodded slightly, and secretly praised them.

This bastard Steven is really omniscient and versatile. He knows so thoroughly about the statue of Nefertiti, which is admirable.

After a moment of pause, Ye Tian’s clear voice came out again, reaching everyone’s ears.

"Let's learn about the life of Nefertiti, the Egyptian queen. As one of the most important and most powerful queens in ancient Egyptian history, Nefertiti's life was very legendary.

Nefertiti's background is full of mystery. Some theory believes that she may be Princess Mitani Taduheba. She was originally betrothed to Amonophis III, but later married to his son.

Another theory believes that Nefertiti is the daughter of Amonophus III, so that Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti become half-siblings, but this statement is not very credible.

There is another theory that Nefertiti's father was a high-ranking official in the court of Amonophis III, and later became Akhenaton's confidant. In short, Nefertiti was born at the highest level in ancient Egypt.

After Nefertiti married Pharaoh Akhenaton, he assisted his husband in launching unprecedented reforms. They created their own Sun Cult, and advocated weakening the power of the high priests, and moved the capital to Amana.

They built a dazzling and prosperous capital 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 powerful high priests.

In the new capital Amana, Nefertiti was on par with Akhenaten. She was not only the queen of Pharaoh Akhenaten, but also as the ruler with a position equal to him, and jointly regent and ruled Egypt.

On some existing ancient Egyptian murals, we can also see that Nefertiti and Akhenaten each drove a chariot and competed together, which had never appeared before Nefertiti.

It was also after Nefertiti that ancient Egyptian women had more freedom and rights. They were valued just like men, enjoyed the right to receive a good education, and had the right to inherit property.

Egyptian women can sue for unfair things, they have their own thoughts and minds, and they stick to their own ideas, and these rights were not allowed to be possessed again until the twentieth century.”

"It seems that this is an initial feminist, and it is indeed worth remembering."

David joked, and the rest of the scene also nodded with a smile.

Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, and then continued:

"Neftiti is not only a feminist, but some people even believe that she is better than Akhenaten because she has the right to execute her enemies, and this punishment has been the rights of Egyptian pharaohs since ancient times.

According to legend, after the death of Pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti took over the throne of Egypt. Because of the reforms, they made too many enemies, so 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 defeat, but the credibility of this legend is not very high,..."

While giving the explanation, Ye Tian also turned on his perspective and secretly looked through the colorful sculpture in front of him.

Unfortunately, apart from Nefertiti's peerless beauty that surprised the world, he did not discover any other hidden secrets.

This colorful sculpture is not a mummy, it is just a sculpture work. There are no mysterious characters that have not been interpreted and there are no hidden secrets inside.

As the treasure of the Berlin Museum, this sculpture has been studied very thoroughly. Even if it has a secret, it has been discovered and interpreted. How could it be left to this day?

As he spoke, five or six minutes passed, and Ye Tian’s explanation gradually came to an end.

"During his reign, Nefertiti was the most influential woman in Egypt. She was respected by the Egyptian people like a worship goddess, and ruled Egypt with her husband, Pharaoh Akhenaten.

She is the queen who has appeared the most frequently in temples and monuments in Egypt in history, and she is unprecedentedly likely to be in the position of high priest, and traditionally only Egyptian pharaohs can hold this position.

However, we know almost nothing about this beautiful Egyptian queen's life. Nefertiti suddenly disappeared from history around 1336 BC.

There are many historical statements about Nefertiti's whereabouts, some say that she was deposed, and some say that she and Akhenaten were overthrown by the people, because the Egyptian people regard the Sun Church 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 and nothing was left behind.

Until today, no funeral items of Nefertiti were found in Akhenaten's tomb, which shows that Nefertiti was never buried there, and the queen's official death record is not verified.

In the Tomb No. 35 of the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, archaeologists once discovered a mummy that had been severely damaged. The mummy was believed to be Nefertiti.

This act of destruction was an extremely vicious curse in the ancient Egyptian Book of Death. Her face was damaged so that she could not speak her name to God and thus enter the afterlife.

Her shroud was also torn apart, which originally had the name of the dead, which allowed the undead to recognize his body. In this way, the soul could not return and the dead would be between life and death and be tortured.

Nefertiti's name and many stories have disappeared from historical records inexplicably. On many ancient Egyptian murals, her face has been artificially destroyed, and only a few clues remain in the ruins of some ancient temples and palaces.”

"Why--!"

There was a sigh of relief at the scene, and everyone was sighing about Nefertiti's fate.

Such a beautiful queen with a peerless face has such a miserable fate after her death. It is indeed a bit too sad and regrettable!

Ye Tian's voice did not stop at all, and it continued to be heard, reaching the ears of everyone on the scene.

"In 1912, German archaeologist Bohart discovered this 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, Bohart transported this 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 of all antique artworks in major German museums, and also the most artistic and research-worthy treasure.

There is still a lot of controversy surrounding this priceless treasure. When this colorful statue was first publicly launched in the Berlin Museum in 1924, Egypt made claims and persisted.

However, Germany has always refused to return this extremely beautiful statue. Hitler once said, 'Germany will never return the portrait of Nefertiti. This is a work of art, a treasure, a real treasure',..."

Hearing this, many Germans at the scene couldn't help but look embarrassed on their faces, and they felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, an employee of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company suddenly asked:

"Steven, can you tell me the value of Nefertiti's bust? That must be an extremely amazing sky-high price, right?"

Ye Tian turned to look at the company employee, then smiled and nodded and said:

"Yes, that's indeed a jaw-dropping sky-high price. As I said just now, this colorful sculpture is the most beautiful and valuable treasure of all antique artworks in Germany.

The value of such a treasure cannot be measured by money at all. If you have to give a valuation, then this priceless treasure is worth at least $600 million, and it will not be capped!"

Before he finished speaking, the scene was immediately infuriated and the screams were heard.

"Oh my God! I heard it right? It's worth at least $600 million, which is too exaggerated!"
