Chapter 2786 Valuable Historical Documents

Following Bellini's "Prometheus Stealing Fire", in this wooden box, Ye Tian and the others found another tempera painting, which was made by the famous early Renaissance painter Messina.

This is also a top-notch work of art with high value, but unfortunately, the content it depicts comes from biblical stories and has a strong religious color, so it is not among the works of art that Ye Tian plans to collect.

Like Da Vinci's third "Virgin of the Rocks", he intends to sell this tempera painting locally in Italy and turn it into real wealth!

As for who can win this top artwork, he doesn't care, as long as he can make a lot of money!

Not surprisingly, the appearance of this egg tempera painting once again caused a commotion at the scene and in front of countless live broadcast terminals, and made people exclaim!

After showing the painting in public and explaining it, Ye Tian put it into the painting bag and handed it over to his company staff to take care of it.

Afterwards, he was going to take out the fourth painting in the box to see which master artist it was.

At this moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the scene.

"Steven, you'd better come over and have a look. We found a box of historical documents. On the top of the box, it seems to be a few sheepskin manuscripts. It looks like a few design drawings, maybe it's Da Vinci Stay baby!"

It was Derek who reported the news to Ye Tian. The team he led was on the side of the platform, cleaning up the boxes placed on the platform.

Following his words, the scene and countless live broadcast terminals were immediately blown up, and many people cried out in surprise!

"Wow! The manuscript left by Da Vinci must be priceless!"

"My God! How many treasures are hidden in this underground palace? It's incredible!"

Just when people were exclaiming, Ye Tian had put down the fourth oil painting he had just picked up, then jumped off the platform, turned around and walked towards where Derek and the others were.

David, Bishop of Kent and others, as well as representatives of various parties and several experts and scholars, all followed up. Everyone was very excited!

In two or three steps, Ye Tian had arrived at where Derek and the others were.

And on the ground in front of them, there was a wooden box with a mottled appearance.

The lock on the box has been cut off, but the top cover of the box has not been lifted, it is still covered.

Seeing Ye Tian approaching, Derek immediately began to introduce the scene with joy.

"Steven, when we just cleared this box, we found that it was relatively light, so we suspected that it might contain oil paintings, or historical documents, etc.

Upon opening the box, I saw two layers of black tarpaulin covering, or rather wrapping, the contents to keep them from getting wet.

However, the outline of the thing under the tarpaulin should not look like an oil painting, and now that the light conditions are suitable, I carefully removed the tarpaulin.

Then I saw a lot of historical documents, some were bound into volumes, some were packed in sheepskin bags, and there were a few sheepskin manuscripts on the top, which looked like a blueprint for something!

For the sake of protecting these historical documents, I didn't read those manuscripts carefully, so I covered the box, and then I will notify you to come over and check the details."

After listening to the report, Ye Tian immediately nodded with a smile and said:

"Good job, Derek, let me see what you found. I hope that these historical documents are Da Vinci's manuscripts as you said. That would be great!"

While speaking, Ye Tian had come to the wooden box.

He checked the condition of the box first, and after confirming that there was no problem, he gently lifted the top cover of the box, and only opened a third of it, and then looked inside.

As Derek said, this box contains a large number of historical documents, which are wrapped with two layers of black moisture-proof tarpaulin to prevent these historical documents from getting wet.

At this moment, Derek had lifted off the outermost two layers of tarpaulins, revealing what was wrapped inside.

These historical documents from more than 500 years ago have turned yellow and become very fragile, but fortunately, they are well preserved and have high historical and cultural research value.

On the top of these historical documents are a few scattered sheepskin manuscripts. The text and patterns on them are somewhat blurred, but they are still recognizable!

Ye Tian looked at these sheepskin manuscripts, then asked Derek to hold the top of the box, put on a new pair of white gloves, reached into the box, and carefully took out these sheepskin manuscripts.

Afterwards, he stood beside the box and began to admire these sheepskin manuscripts.

On these sheepskin manuscripts, there are design sketches of some mechanical devices, as well as a lot of matching data and Italian text descriptions, which seem to be very detailed!

It's a pity that Ye Tian doesn't know Italian, so naturally he doesn't know the meaning of these words!

But he knew the design drawings of these mechanical devices, and they were very familiar!

When he entered this underground space before, at the stone door engraved with the portrait of Francesco Sforza, he saw the mechanical device drawn on these design sketches through perspective.

Some of those mechanical devices are hidden behind the stone door, some are hidden in the walls on both sides of the stone door, some are hidden under the floor, and so on.

More importantly, these mechanical devices do not exist in isolation, but a system that is linked to each other, and the whole body is moved by a single trigger. The design is very exquisite!

That's right, the design sketches of these mechanical devices are the drawings of the stone gate and all the traps around it, which clearly show the structure and operation principle of those traps!

There is no doubt that these sheepskin manuscripts are the work of Leonardo Da Vinci. They are not only the blueprints of the traps, but also valuable antique cultural relics, which can be called works of art!

Although Ye Tian could see the origins of these sheepskin manuscripts at a glance, he couldn't tell them, so he had to pretend to check them carefully and put on a show!

After a while, he said excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, these sheepskin manuscripts should be the works of Leonardo da Vinci, specifically, they should be the drawings of traps designed by him, very exquisite!

If I read correctly, the mechanical devices drawn on the blueprint should be the mechanisms that control the stone gate at the bottom of the spiral staircase and the corresponding traps.

With these few original design drawings, we can dismantle all the traps at the stone gate and remove potential safety hazards, so that newcomers don't have to worry about it! "

With that said, Ye Tian picked up these blueprints and showed them to everyone and in front of the camera lens.

The next moment, the Bishop of Kent who stood at the front said excitedly:

"You're right, Steven, the mechanical devices drawn on these sheepskin manuscripts are the ones that control the stone gate and all the nearby traps, and there are text descriptions under these design sketches!

From this, it can be confirmed that these sheepskin manuscripts were indeed written by Leonardo da Vinci, and the above design sketches, data and text were all drawn and written by him himself, there is no doubt about it! "

Following Bishop of Kent's words, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene and in front of countless live broadcast terminals.

Before the exclamation fell, someone on the scene couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, can you let us have a good look at these sheepskin manuscripts? We have never seen such a well-preserved manuscript written by Da Vinci!"

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, then smiled and said:

"I'm very sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I can't let you start to appreciate these sheepskin manuscripts, and the rest of the historical documents in this box are the same, I hope you can understand!

These historical documents from more than 500 years ago are now quite fragile and need to be carefully protected. It would be a pity if they were accidentally damaged when they were passed on and appreciated by each other!

Another point is that the content recorded in these historical documents is of great historical and cultural research value, and even has high scientific research value. In order to ensure the interests of our company, it is not appropriate to disclose it now!

Some of the documentation will only be made public once we've finished cleaning up and doing some initial research, of course I might sell some of it, but that's for a later date! "

Hearing this, all the representatives, experts and scholars at the scene rolled their eyes angrily, and complained secretly!

This damn bastard is really too cunning and too greedy!
