Looking at the watch, before I knew it, it was already past three in the morning, and it seemed a little difficult to continue the search. www.geiliwx.com

After all, this museum is really too big, and there are too many collections in the museum, and it is not like the Boston Museum of Art, which is only dedicated to a certain art collection.

The collections here are very complex, and there are more than three million pieces on display, so if you want to search for some good things, I am afraid there will not be enough time.

Jin Muchen can only go to find those boutiques to get them, but what are the treasures of the British Museum?

Regarding these, before Jin Muchen came, he also did an investigation. First of all, he had to count the mummies in the Egyptian pavilion. It is said that some of them were the mummies of pharaohs.

But as an antique lover, Jin Muchen is not interested in these thousand-year-old mummified corpses. It was stolen from Egypt after all the hardships.

This treasure of the town hall is forgotten, and the sculpture of the Parthenon in Greece, which is regarded as the treasure of the second town hall, Jin Muchen just glanced over and knelt down.

How to say this thing, the ancient Greek civilization thousands of years ago, it is indeed very admirable to carve such a marble statue, but this thing is so big.

Occupying an entire exhibition hall, the format of the Temple of Agriculture is similar to the golden zodiac in the cartoon of Saint Seiya that Jin Muchen watched on TV when he was a child.

It's just that the specifications of this Temple of Agriculture are not as grand as in the cartoon. And the damage is also very serious. Although it has been intensively repaired by the professionals of the British Museum, it has not been restored to its original complete appearance.

Even the heads of the two fairy stone statues standing at the entrance of the temple have disappeared, and these marble statues. Although it is not as magnificent as in the cartoon, it is often several meters high and weighs more than a few tons.

Originally, Jin Muchen's only place in the Purple Jade Space was too many. If he was doing such a set of stone carvings, then he wouldn't have to pretend otherwise.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Jin Muchen simply took away the most essential part of the temple.

in front of the temple. There is a statue of a goddess carved in marble, which is the essence of this temple, the monument of the fairy in the sea!

This monument is the famous Nereids Monument!

The above text mainly records the imagination of the sea fairy that the ancient Greeks piled up. and the scriptures of sacrifice to her.

As soon as Jin Muchen waved his hand, he took this monument into his pocket.

Walking forward, at the entrance of Hall 4, a granite stele comes into view.

This stele also belongs to the Egyptian Museum, and it is also the Rosetta Stone that is also regarded as the treasure of the town hall by the British Museum.

The reason why this stele is so important is because of the crooked hieroglyphics engraved on it, if there is no such text. Much of the history of ancient Egypt will not be translated.

There is no research at all about the history of Egypt and before Egypt. So from an archaeological point of view, the significance of this stele is very important, it is a dictionary of ancient Egyptian writing.

Jin Muchen also wanted to take this stele away, but after thinking about it, let it go. The size of this stele is really too big. The tonnage is not light, think about the remaining space in your Ziyu space. Forget it.

The China Pavilion on the first floor has been visited once, so the first floor is in addition to such a few important exhibition halls. Basically, there is nothing worthy of Jin Muchen's hands.

To be honest, Jin Muchen really wanted to set a fire in the museum as the British did in the Yuanmingyuan back then, and set fire to this place that symbolized the pride of the British.

But think about it or forget it. After all, the things collected in this museum are not only the national treasures of the United Kingdom, but also many national treasures belonging to all countries in the world.

For example, those Chinese porcelains that he couldn't take away, as well as these Greek and Egyptian antiques, these are things that belong to other people. If he wants to burn British treasures, he can't bring them together.

So Jin Muchen thought and thought, and finally held back.

I have been to the third floor once, and there is nothing worth doing outside of Stein's secret room. I will go to the second floor later, because before going, Jin Muchen still has to go to the basement.

Because on the facade of the exhibition hall in the basement, there are still a few treasures that the British regard as the treasure of the town hall.

For example, the Mausoleum of Mosolas in Hall 21, the Mausoleum of Mosolas, probably dated to 353 BC, the king of a Greek city-state named Halicarnassus in what is now southern Turkey, Mossola Sri Lanka, built for him and his wife.

Later, it was also stolen back to the UK by the British using very dishonorable means. This royal mausoleum is actually very similar to the Greek temple I saw earlier, and it is composed of marble carvings.

It's just that the architectural form of the temple is similar to a palace, and the architectural form of this royal mausoleum is very similar to a pyramid.

The British did not know how much thought they had put in to move such a complete set of royal tombs from Turkey.

The area of ​​this royal mausoleum is not small, and those stone carvings are very similar to those in the Temple of Agriculture in Greece before. They are carved out of marble, large in size and heavy in quality.

Even if Jin Muchen wanted to move, he couldn't move all of them, so he also chose the most essential part of the royal mausoleum to get, that is, the two statues in front of the sarcophagus in the royal mausoleum, the mythical versions of King Mothoras and his wife The marble statues were all included in his bag.

To be honest, when he remembered that these two statues were the gatekeepers of other people's tombs, Jin Muchen felt a little nervous in his heart. After all, things related to the dead were very unlucky in the eyes of him as a Chinese.

But what to say about this thing, we Chinese seem to be very uncomfortable, but for these white-skinned ghosts in the West, this is an out-and-out treasure.

For example, the statue of the Assyrian king that Andy gave to Jesse before. To put it bluntly, that thing was also picked up from other people's graves, but it was also worth millions, so Westerners' taste in antiques is different from theirs. The same aesthetics, let us Chinese people puzzled, they are the real meat and vegetarian food.

After visiting the 21st exhibition hall, Jin Muchen came to the 25th exhibition hall next to him.

In the twenty-fifth exhibition hall, there is also a set of things that the British Museum regards as the treasure of the town hall, that is, the bronze statue of Benin that came to Africa.

Maybe, in the impression of many people, Africa has always been a wild land. From the time it was discovered, until now, many people in many places are living in the most primitive way. When they were discovered by Europeans, even Still living in primitive society.

Therefore, it is impossible for those black people to create any civilization at all, and it is even more impossible for any antiques and works of art to be handed down.

This may be the first thought that many people have after hearing about African antiques, and even many people may immediately think of African antiques when they hear African antiques.

Those grass skirts worn on the dark-skinned girls, as well as the bone carvings they hang around their necks, all kinds of fish bones, wolf teeth and so on.

In fact, from the birth of the African continent to the present, many civilizations have been bred on that continent, and it is not the wild land we imagined.

Even if those black people do have low brain capacity, they have made history and civilization.

The relics left now are proof, such as the obelisk in Ethiopia, the library in Mali, the Stone City in Zimbabwe, the rock paintings in South Africa, etc. Among these works of art left by African civilization, the most prominent ones are To count this Benin bronze statue.

The Kingdom of Benin originated from the depths of the tropical jungles in the coastal area of ​​the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. It was a black kingdom formed in the Middle Ages with a history of 800 years. During this period, the country has always been one of the developed cultural centers of the African continent.

Bronze art was born here and matured to the peak of art, which is the symbol of the Kingdom of Benin as a civilization.

The Kingdom of Benin has never used writing, and the Benin people have always recorded their history through images cast or engraved in bronze or ivory.

One can see the evolution of the Kingdom of Benin in different periods from the statues of the king and queen, and the reliefs reflecting court life.

Bronze sculpture in Benin gradually evolved into a court art after the 13th century. At that time, the king of Benin supported many art craftsmen, and all the works were owned by the court.

Figures of different sizes and reliefs depicting hunting and war scenes are decorated on the halls, columns and cloisters of the Royal Palace ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Century to the 17th century, the bronze works of the Kingdom of Benin are more realistic and look like More vivid and realistic.

In the 19th century, the slave trade engulfed the entire African continent, and Western colonialists began to carve up the land.

The kingdom of Benin with an ancient civilization was destroyed by the cannon fire of the British colonists, and most of the bronze art treasures were scattered around the world due to looting.

The collection of the British Museum is the most essential part of the bronze statues of Benin that have been lost overseas. It can be said that these bronze statues record the birth, development, prosperity, and decline of the only civilization on the African continent. In the whole process, these bronze statues are no less than the Siku Quanshu in the eyes of Chinese people.

Now that you are here, of course you can't let it go. This is one of the few black African things that Jin Muchen is interested in. There are a total of more than 60 bronze statues in the collection, all of which were cut from the wooden pillars of the Benin Royal Palace. Jin Muchen waved his hand and took away all the bronze statues, leaving only the broken glass all over the floor. . . (To be continued)
