It wasn't until around one noon that Ye Tian and the others finished visiting St. Peter's Basilica, and they walked out of the church unsuccessfully.

In this way, they still watched the flowers in some places and failed to visit them carefully.

As before, during the tour, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective again, thoroughly viewing the inside and outside of St. Peter's Cathedral, as well as the deep underground.

Under the perspective, he saw the entire St. Peter's Basilica transparently, and did not miss any corner.

All the secrets hidden here, whether in the dome, or in the walls, or deep underground, whether they are known or unknown, are clearly presented in his eyes, without any omission!

These secrets involve a wide range of fields, covering all aspects of art, religion, politics, economy, history, military, architecture, etc.!

It even involves some ulterior secrets, such as the privacy of some important figures in the history of the Vatican.

There are many surprising new discoveries. Once disclosed, they will surely cause a huge sensation and rewrite part of Western history.

However, St. Peter's Basilica does not belong to Ye Tian, ​​and in the foreseeable future, he will never be the master here, and he will not be able to possess the hidden secrets.

Especially the top antique works of art that are priceless, but have slept deep underground for hundreds of thousands of years. He is very greedy, but he can only sigh.

Therefore, he could not disclose his series of major discoveries, he could only appreciate it in secret and hide these secrets deep in his heart.

Of course, if the Vatican intends to unite itself and jointly explore all corners of the Vatican, these secrets can be made public, but the possibility is very small!

After leaving St. Peter's Basilica, everyone went to have lunch.

As a tourist destination that receives countless tourists and pilgrims every day, there are many restaurants and hotels in and around the Vatican for tourists to rest and eat.

Ye Tian and the others did not leave the Vatican and went to eat outside, but under the leadership of Leonardo, they ate in an in-house restaurant only for Vatican priests and staff. The dishes were also good!

After eating lunch, everyone returned to their residence to rest for a while to recover their energy and strength.

At about 2:30 in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others left the guest room again. Under the leadership of Leonardo and several priests, they walked through the garden to the Vatican Museum on the north side of St. Peter's Basilica, preparing to visit there.

The Vatican Museum is one of the earliest museums in the world, and it had a prototype as early as the fifth century AD.

It was not until the beginning of the 16th century that the museum and St. Peter's Basilica were expanded at the same time, and this world-famous museum was only established.

The establishment of this famous museum was also due to a major archaeological discovery to a certain extent.

In January 1506, in a vineyard near the main church of the Virgin Mary in Rome, people unearthed a famous statue from the ancient Greek period, "Statue of Laocoon and the Sons."

After the statue was unearthed, it immediately caused a sensation in Rome at the time. People rushed to watch and appreciate the great carving art of ancient Greece!

When Pope Julius II heard the news, he immediately sent Michelangelo and another top artist to check and discover the results.

Later, at the recommendation of Michelangelo, the pope made a decisive purchase and bought the statue from the owner of the vineyard, transported it back to the Vatican, and soon held a public exhibition.

It was with this opportunity that the Vatican Museum was officially established, and it has a history of more than 500 years.

The Vatican Museum has a huge area with a total area of ​​about 5.5 hectares, which is equivalent to 1/13 of the Forbidden City. However, due to the spatial differences between Eastern and Western buildings, its exhibition area is similar to the Forbidden City.

The exhibition space in the museum adds up to six kilometers in length. Not to mention visiting here, just walking around will also consume a lot of time and energy.

This famous museum has twelve exhibition halls and five art galleries, including the famous Sistine Chapel.

The antique art collections in this museum gather countless ancient Greek and Roman relics, as well as the essence of Renaissance art, and most of them are priceless treasures.

In terms of the quantity and quality of antique artworks in its collection, the Vatican Museums are not inferior to other top museums, such as the British Museum and the Louvre, or even worse!

In Europe, the Vatican Museum ranks quite high, ranking third or fourth as a famous art palace, and the same is true in the world.

It is also one of the most expensive and famous museums in Western Europe, and the opening hours are very short. It closes early at 1:30 noon. There is only one free open day on the Sunday at the end of the month.

But these have nothing to do with Ye Tian and the others. As the guests invited by the Vatican and future collaborators, they once again enjoyed the privileges.

Of course, this privilege is also related to two priceless treasures.

Those are the two paintings that Ye Tian gave to the Vatican before, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ" in exchange for the Pope to go to Boston to host the wedding and send blessings!

When those two priceless treasures returned to the Vatican Museums, they caused a huge sensation in Rome, throughout Italy, and even the whole world, attracting countless attentions.

With the two paintings on display again after more than two hundred years, countless art lovers flocked to the Vatican Museums to admire the two top artworks.

By the way, Ye Tian also made a lot of goodwill in Italy and Rome, and people here generally have a sense of gratitude for him.

In view of this, no one raised objections to Ye Tian and the others who enjoyed the privilege to enter the museum after closing.

While they were talking, Ye Tian and his party had already arrived at the tourist entrance of the Vatican Museum, meeting with the senior people of the Vatican Museum waiting here.

As soon as everyone stood firm, the curator of the Vatican Museum stepped forward and said enthusiastically:

"Good afternoon, Steven and Betty, welcome to the Vatican Museums. On behalf of all the museum staff, I thank you again for your generosity and wish you a wonderful afternoon here."

"Good afternoon, Antonio, I am very glad to see you again. It's so polite. The two paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo belonged to the Vatican originally. We just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

I have been admiring the Vatican Museums and the priceless treasures in the museum for a long time. I have long wanted to visit here. Today I finally got what I wanted. I look forward to the next visit."

Ye Tian said with a smile, and shook hands with the curator of the Vatican Museum, behaving very decently.

After a few words of politeness and greetings, Antonio led Ye Tian and the others into the Vatican Museum and started a tour to appreciate the many priceless treasures displayed in this museum.

After entering the Vatican Museums, the first exhibition Ye Tian and the others visited was the Gregorian Egyptian Museum, or the Egyptian Pavilion for short.

The entrance of this pavilion is small and looks very historical. There are many small pavilions inside, displaying precious cultural relics from various periods of ancient Egypt.

The most noticeable among them is a mummy with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is the mummy of a woman. It is quite well preserved. It is a well-known and must-see collection in the Egyptian Pavilion.

Moreover, the coffin of this female mummy was opened, completely presented in front of all the tourists, looking somewhat gloomy.

Then there is the king of mummies, the standing statue of Anubis.

Anubis is the patron saint of the soul in the ancient Egyptian theological system~www.novelhall.com~ often appears as a jackal in the murals of the pharaoh's cemetery and other funerary objects.

Ye Tian was not very interested in the precious cultural relics in this exhibition hall, so he did not stay for too long.

After looking at the cultural relics on display here, they quickly left this exhibition hall and walked to the next exhibition hall.

Ye Tian has seen a lot of cultural relics of ancient Egypt in the Metropolitan Museum, the British Museum, and the Louvre, and he has long lost his curiosity.

More importantly, for these corpses thousands of years ago, as well as many funerary objects, the spiritual power in his eyes is instinctively repulsive, and he doesn't like the thick dead air emitted by these cultural relics.

After leaving the Egyptian Pavilion, the group of them, led by Antonio and Leonardo, entered the Bio Clement Museum.

This is one of the most famous exhibition halls of the Vatican Museum. It mainly focuses on sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome, including the three treasures of the Vatican Museum's sculpture category!

They are "Statue of Laocoon and His Sons", "Remnant Body", and "Apollo, the Sun God on the Lookout".

In addition to these three treasures of the town hall, there are also many world-famous sculptures on display, each of which is extremely valuable and unique.

Placed in any other museum, these sculptures are the treasure of the town hall, but they can only be subordinated to the Vatican Museum!

As soon as they walked into this exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others were completely attracted by the many exquisite sculptures in the exhibition hall. Everyone stopped at the same time and admired them.
