Chapter 1262 Splendid Civilization Ashes of Time (46/66)
"yes?"
Andy smiled nonchalantly, squinted his eyes slightly, and stretched out his fingers to caress the lines of the statue in front of him carefully. For the precious cultural relics that the outside world is more demanding to trace, Andy's idea of taking possession of them becomes more determined.
Now that it has fallen into his hands, these precious witnesses of history will be completely silent in the years to come. He will personally create some unsolved mysteries. As for whether his subordinates will leak the news, he is not worried, even if it is a leak So what, he won't admit it, who can do anything to him!
"What about the other one?"
Andy withdrew his hand, with a bright smile on his face, turned to look at Joseph and asked.
"Here." Joseph led Andy around the headless statue to a sealed wooden box placed in the central area of the warehouse. He bent down and carefully opened the side of the wooden box. What was displayed in front of everyone was an oversized The bottle shaped like a grenade, because the bottom of the bottle is a sharp arc, cannot be placed on the ground, and a stand wrapped in a wool blanket supports the entire body of the bottle.
"A Sumerian alabaster sacrificial bottle with a history of more than 5,000 years!" Andy's eyes shone brightly. Sumerian cultural relics are the cultural relics he values most. valuable.
The Sumerians were the creators of the early cultures in the Mesopotamia. Create cuneiform first. It is the earliest verifiable civilization in the world. It is also recognized as an "early advanced civilization" in the world.
Each of their gods represents a star, and each star is surrounded by a number of different planets, large and small. The entire astrology chart is almost exactly the same as that of modern people!
The story of the great flood in their myths and legends was later adapted by the Jews and compiled into the "Old Testament", which is the story of Noah's Ark.
They are also black-haired, and they occupied the Mesopotamia as outsiders. They also have a dragon culture, the first two-horned dragon; goddess". She led the creation of man. . .
"These are the Sumerian mythological reliefs that were found with the ritual bottles, all of these ten chests."
Andy stood up and followed Joseph to the ten long wooden boxes stacked on the metal support. He said with some excitement, "Which one has the pattern of a flying ball with a man flying its wings?"
Joseph seemed to have been prepared for a long time, pointing to the top wooden box with a red triangle pattern and said: "This is the one. After you asked the boss, I asked them to put this on the top."
"Very good, open it." Andy took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saw that after the lid was opened, the box in front of him was one meter wide and about 1.5 meters long, with incomplete reliefs on both sides, and the figure's body was round. Pillar-shaped, calm and uniform facial expression, wide-open eyes, the relief has a sense of movement and space, and it depicts some people driving a flying ball with wings spread, with stars above their heads.
"God! This, how is this possible?" Lima also looked up at the picture on the relief and screamed in disbelief.
"Hehe, nothing is impossible. Humans wearing space suits were found on the reliefs of the Egyptian pyramids, let alone the pattern of the Apache helicopter. Some things are unexplainable. If you can't understand, just treat it as Just the myths and legends, don’t worry about it.” Andy patted Lima’s waist and explained with a smile.
Lima's shocked expression slowly calmed down, he hugged Andy's arm tightly, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Honey, these..."
"These are all rescued from war-torn areas. These are the treasures of human civilization. Since I have the ability, I will naturally do my best to protect them, keep them from being burned, and leave this precious and splendid civilization for future generations. Witness, I have this responsibility!"
Andy's face was solemn, with a look of compassion, he reached out his hand to caress the relief that was isolated by the vacuum bag, but then withdrew his hand as if afraid of damage.
"Darling, your idea is too great,
In the future, a museum can be established so that everyone can experience the magnificence of human civilization. . . "
Hearing Lima's admiration and looking at the little star she admired, Andy coughed unnaturally and nodded.
Joseph and Kenny on the side looked at each other, and saw a trace of embarrassment in each other's eyes when they made eye contact. They were speechless for the serious and shameless great kindness of their big boss.
"Ahem, boss, these boxes are Sumerian handwritten manuscripts, which are cultural relics from the Babylonian period..." Joseph coughed twice, and continued to introduce to the boss.
"Oh?" Andy carefully opened the more delicate small suitcase. In front of his eyes were some shreds of paper. He took the white glove handed over by Joseph and put it on. He picked up a piece with tweezers and looked at it. ,do not know. . .
It's all cuneiform, and if you don't study and study it alone, you won't be able to recognize this ancient script.
"These Sumerian cultural relics are the ones that our people took a lot of effort to 'protect' them?" Andy put the pieces of paper away, then closed the suitcase, and asked with some regret.
Joseph nodded with a stern expression. For these items, two employees were injured by grenade shrapnel and 12 of them were eliminated. The strength of 'protection' can be seen.
Cough, that's right, this is what the jackals robbed from the underground black market. . . . . .
"Is the bonus in place?" Andy asked lightly. He would naturally treat those who worked hard for him.
"It's all been distributed, and they are all very happy to be able to serve the boss." Joseph replied with a nod.
"That's good. Go ahead, let's see what else is good." Andy smiled lightly.
"These 7 boxes contain necklaces, daggers, and pottery made of a large amount of gold. They are precious cultural relics stolen in the museum theft that caused a sensation in the world. There are about 300 pieces. We went a little late, and 10 boxes were transferred. into Syria...
These ten pieces are gems from the palace of the Azovians in Iraq and battle axes from the Sumerians. . .
362 cuneiform tablets. . .
These are all from Afghanistan, including porcelain, stone carvings, Buddha statues, bronzes, and ancient coins from the 3rd century BC. They weigh about 3 tons. . .
In the 11 wooden boxes here are stone statue heads, sacrificial vessels, bronze vessels, pottery pots and jewelry with a history of more than 2,000 years. This is the catalog that was found together at the beginning. . . "
While Andy took the exquisite catalog album, looking at the photos above, the upward curve of the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger. This is the real war treasure. All the things in the album in his hand come from the National Museum of Kabul. If it weren't for him, a benevolent person with the ability to save the treasures of human civilization, these things would flow to the black market, be resold again and again, and eventually disappear in the long river of history.
"call--"
Andy breathed out a turbid breath, squinted his eyes slightly, and sincerely felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. He couldn't just watch the catastrophe of civilization happen in front of him. He decided to ask Joseph to "rescue" the treasure of civilization. The task was officially issued. . .
"How many pieces are there in total, have you counted them?" Andy closed the album, and handed it to Lima, who was dumbfounded and had a somewhat numb expression.
"I haven't counted them in detail. After all, some gold coins, jewelry, gemstones and so on are too fragmented. Excluding these small pieces, there should be more than 2,200 pieces. When the machines were installed in Afghanistan, they were directly stacked in wooden boxes and sealed for shipment, so It's messy and can only be calculated by weight."
Joseph's answer made Andy shake his head helplessly and laughed. After looking around, Andy stood in front of the headless statue of King Ntemena of the Lagash dynasty. After pondering for a while, he said leisurely: "It seems that I A separate modern 'palace' needs to be built to preserve them."
"The other thing is to find some Chinese archeology professionals to sort and restore
However, the construction of a collection room also requires the advice of these professionals. "At this time, Kenny said.
Andy nodded, and said nonchalantly: "It's easy to talk about building a museum, just find an expert to design it, but for sorting and repairing, you need real senior experts, and you should find it from Afghanistan and Iraq. There was a mistake."
"I understand, boss, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Joseph's face returned to coldness.
"Well, it's not urgent, let's talk about building the place first!" Andy glanced at Joseph indifferently, then smiled and embraced Lima, walked to a box with various gems and mentioned it, "Let's go, Let's go back and pick the gems."
