Just like the situation at the door, there are no traps in this secret room deep underground, so it is very safe.

After entering this secret room, everyone just saw the situation here clearly.

The size of this secret room is not large, only about 30 to 40 square meters, square and square, like an ordinary room, but it was built in ancient Rome more than 2,000 years ago and located deep underground.

In addition to the statue of the "Triple-Headed Alliance" facing the door of the secret room, there is a stone platform about 50 to 60 centimeters high on each side of the bust of Caesar, and a rectangular box is placed on it.

The two boxes were covered with dust, and no one knew what was in them.

Of course, Ye Tian is not included here.

He has already seen clearly the situation in this underground secret room and the things hidden here through clairvoyance, and he is even more aware of the value of these antique cultural relics!

In addition, behind the bust of Caesar, close to the back wall, there are several large or small boxes and two statues more than one meter high.

What are those boxes and who are the characters carved by those two statues? You don’t know yet. You can only get the answer if you come close, wipe off the dust attached to them, and carefully examine and study them!

Along the walls around this secret room, there are several stone benches and bronze candlesticks placed in several alcoves, and in front of the wall on the right side of the stone door, there is an ancient stone bed.

It can be seen that in BC, this place was once regarded as a refuge room to avoid danger, and it was also a hidden treasure room!

By extension, there should have been ventilation ducts here, as well as secret passages leading to other nearby buildings or fields, so that people hiding in this secret room can breathe smoothly and escape here!

However, these ventilation ducts and secret passages have long been completely sealed off, unable to communicate with the outside world, so a large amount of dirty air has accumulated here.

After walking into this ancient secret room, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the secret room, and then said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, according to my observation, the underground secret room built by Gaius Marius now has only one passage behind us, and the original ventilation ducts and secret passages leading to other places have been sealed.

Because of this, the air here cannot circulate, and a large amount of filthy air has accumulated. Many antique cultural relics hidden here have successfully avoided oxidation and have been preserved almost perfectly.

In particular, the bronze busts of the former three-headed alliance can be said to be the best-preserved ancient Roman statues discovered so far, and the wooden boxes in the secret room can avoid decay and have been preserved to this day.

From an archaeological point of view, the situation couldn't be better, but as we discovered and opened up this passage behind us, the antique artifacts hidden here, there will inevitably be some oxidation reactions.

This level of oxidation reaction is acceptable. When we get out these antique cultural relics from ancient Rome, we can show them the most perfect side and let them shine again! "

While saying these words, Ye Tian was also pretending to check the ground seriously, leading everyone forward.

Hearing his words, the Bishop of Kent and Giovanni who were following behind nodded their heads without disagreeing.

While speaking, Ye Tian had already come to the statue of the 'former three-headed alliance', he stopped immediately and admired the three ancient Roman busts again.

Following his movements, the others also stopped, admiring the statues of the three ancient Roman giants, or looking at the situation in this secret room, and everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Wow! This is really an amazing treasure. There is no doubt that the discovery of this ancient Roman treasure will definitely cause a huge sensation!"

"Who would have thought! There is such an ancient treasure buried deep underground in the center of Rome.

Moreover, this treasure has a very close relationship with Julius Caesar, which is simply incredible! "

Just when everyone was amazed and moved, Ye Tian stepped out again and walked straight into the triangle formed by the statues of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus, the three giants of ancient Rome.

But the Bishop of Kent and David, who were following behind, stopped in their tracks, and all stared at Ye Tian's back to see what he would do!

In two or three steps, Ye Tian came to the bust of Julius Caesar, and stopped about half a meter away from the stone platform.

He first stared at the bust of Caesar in front of him, then looked at the stone platform under the statue, then took out a brand new white towel and began to wipe the dust and moss attached to the statue.

Following his movements, the bust of Julius Caesar, which had been hidden deep underground for more than two thousand years, finally revealed its true face again and appeared in front of everyone.

This is an ancient bronze statue, which is in a very good state of preservation. There is only a thin layer of green patina on the surface. Instead of damaging the statue, it adds a bit of historical vicissitudes to the statue.

The reason for this situation is that the statue has been hidden deep underground for a long time and is completely isolated from the outside air. In addition, the airtightness here is very good, there is almost no water seepage, and it is relatively dry.

Such an environment is undoubtedly very conducive to the preservation of antique cultural relics, and can preserve some ancient antique cultural relics as completely as possible.

A similar situation also occurred in those famous ancient Egyptian pyramids.

It is precisely because of being buried deep underground, completely isolated from the outside air, and coupled with the dry climate, the coffins and mummies of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs can be preserved for thousands of years without decay!

The bronze statue of Caesar in front of us is based on the shape of Caesar's chest and above. Together with the square base underneath, it is about sixty to seventy centimeters high and placed on a marble platform.

The image of Caesar depicted in it is wearing ancient Roman plate armor, with a cloak on his shoulders, hanging straight behind him, with a firm face, deep and courageous eyes, staring straight ahead, naturally exuding a majestic spirit. ! !

This is exactly the image of Caesar when he was in his prime, leading the Roman army across the world and fighting everywhere, and it is likely to be the image when he made an alliance with Pompey and Crassus and formed the first three-headed alliance.

Looking at this ancient Roman statue from more than 2,000 years ago, and facing the statue of the most prestigious, even the greatest military strategist and statesman in Western history, everyone can't help being shocked Endless!

The scene fell silent, only the sound of rapid or gentle breathing remained, and there was no other sound.

After a while, Ye Tian woke up first, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, the statue of Julius Caesar in front of you should be the earliest and most perfect statue of Caesar ever discovered, more than ten or twenty years earlier than the bust of Caesar found in France.

According to my judgment, the creation time of this statue should be the period when Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus signed the covenant together and formed the first three-headed alliance, that is, around 60 BC.

If I am right, I can say with absolute certainty that this bust of Caesar is the most valuable of all the statues of Julius Caesar that have been found, and indeed of all ancient Roman statues."

Before the words fell, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

"That's right, Steven, this is definitely the most perfectly preserved and carved statue of Julius Caesar I have ever seen. Standing in front of this statue, I feel as if I have traveled through time and space and am facing Julius Caesar directly!"

"Wow! Looking at this bronze statue of Julius Caesar, as well as the statues of Pompey and Crassus, I can even think of such a scene where the famous first three alliances in history are sitting together and discussing alliance matters.

'No single measure in Rome shall be contrary to the wishes of one of us three', what a lofty ambition! It is the greatest honor of my life to be fortunate enough to participate in this exploration operation and discover this statue of Julius Caesar! "

Before everyone's exclamation and emotion fell, Antonio couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, if your identification is accurate and this statue of Julius Caesar was indeed created in 60 BC when the first three-headed alliance signed the covenant, then this is definitely the earliest statue of Caesar ever found.

More importantly, the creation time of this bronze statue of Caesar is very clear and the timing is special. It witnessed the formation of the famous "Triple Alliance" in history, which can be said to be unique!

As you said, if these can be confirmed, then there is no doubt that this bronze statue of Julius Caesar is definitely the most valuable of all ancient Roman statues that have been found, and its value is immeasurable! "

Ye Tian looked at this old friend who was so excited that he was almost crazy, and then said with a smile:

"I am full of confidence in my eyesight and judgment. I am confident that I will never be wrong, and I believe that we will soon find evidence to prove these inferences and thoroughly understand the origin of the three statues in front of us!"
