The Acropolis Museum is divided into three levels: bottom, middle, and upper levels, and the display content of each level is different.

After entering the museum, Ye Tian and the others first visited the ground floor.

The ground floor of this museum is suspended above a huge archaeological site, and a column network composed of many reinforced concrete columns supports the museum above.

Here, Ye Tianju condescendingly saw a huge archaeological excavation site from a bird's-eye view.

Through this archaeological excavation site, he saw the economy, culture, art, and social life of ancient Greece two to three thousand years ago, and went to ancient Greece for a trip!

Of course, in the process, he didn't forget to open the perspective secretly, exploring the secrets hidden deeper underground.

As always, his vision easily penetrated the archaeological site, saw many unknown secrets deep underground, and saw a lot of valuable antique artworks buried deeper underground.

It is a pity that he can't disclose these secrets, and those valuable antique works of art have no chance with him, and he simply cannot get them.

Unless one day the Greeks are crazy and poor, the Greek government is completely bankrupt and ready to sell the Acropolis Museum, he will be able to get those treasures hidden deeper underground.

Obviously, this possibility basically does not exist.

While visiting and admiring the Acropolis Museum, Ye Tian was also chatting with Pandemaris and several other experts in the appraisal of Greek antique art.

"Mr. Curator, after staying at the hotel, I thought about it carefully. You, the Acropolis Museum, the Greek Ministry of Culture, and the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, can send people to participate in this exploration."

Hearing this, the faces of the Greeks at the scene all showed ecstasy, and they almost cheered.

"It's great, Steven, you guys are so generous once, thank you very much! Don't ask, let us send someone to explore the shipwreck treasure, it must be a condition, let's listen!"

Pandemaris said excitedly, looking forward to it, and the rest of the Greeks are the same.

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then smiled and nodded and said:

"You guessed it, Pandemaris, each of your two museums and the Ministry of Culture can only send two people to participate in the exploration. It is best to be experts and scholars who study sculpture art in ancient Rome and the Hellenistic period.

And your people must obey the command, not act without authorization, let alone interfere with our exploration of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure. In this regard, they are not professional, and participating in it will only be bad.

Not only you, but several famous museums also sent representatives to participate in this exploratory operation. Among them are representatives from the Metropolitan Museum, the National Gallery of Art, and the U.S. Department of Culture."

Not surprisingly, the faces of all the Greeks on the scene changed and became very ugly.

Each of them knows very well that the guys at the Metropolitan Museum and the National Gallery of America are definitely here for those sculptures from the ancient Roman or Hellenistic period that may exist!

The representatives sent by the U.S. Department of Culture are a threat that cannot be ignored to everyone except Steven and his company.

Because of the existence of those guys, anyone who wants to play this sunken treasure or play tricks will have more concerns, including the Greek government.

The reactions of these Greeks were all seen by Ye Tian, ​​with a clear view.

As if not seeing him, he continued to smile and said:

"In addition, the guys from the Louvre in France and the British Museum in the UK also called me, hoping to participate in this exploratory operation, and they have already sent representatives to Athens."

"Ah! The British robbers actually sent someone here. Why are they embarrassed? When I see the British robbers, I would like to ask in person, when will they return the Elgin marble statue stolen from the Parthenon? "

Pandemaris gritted his teeth and said with a very angry expression.

The same goes for several other Greeks. When they heard about the British Museum, they all went furious, clenching their fists.

Their performance was completely in Ye Tian's expectation, and he didn't feel surprised at all.

There is no other reason, because the "Elgin Marble Statue" referred to by Pandemaris is one of the best, most complete and outstanding statues in existence in the Parthenon, but it was introduced by the British in the 19th century. Snatched away at first.

The Parthenon is an eternal symbol of Greece, which shows how important the Elgin marble statue is in the minds of the Greeks.

When the British took the Elgin marble statue, Greece was still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The then British ambassador, Lord Elgin, took away this exquisite ancient Greek sculpture half-and-half.

In the process, Lord Elgin not only ordered the marble statue to be dismembered, cut into pieces and shipped back to the UK, but also caused huge damage to the Parthenon, making every Greek hate it!

It didn't take long for this marble statue to be shipped to England. In 1816, the British royal family bought this extremely precious marble statue from Lord Elgin and displayed it in the British Museum.

In the following two hundred years, the Elgin marble statue, or it should be called the Parthenon marble statue, has been displayed in the British Museum and has become one of the famous treasures of the British Museum.

By the 1980s, the then Greek Minister of Culture proposed a bill in the UN General Assembly asking the British to return the Elgin marble statue. This request was also supported by most countries.

However, the voting result of this motion has no binding effect on Britain, and the British and the British Museum refused to return the Elgin marble statue.

Over the next few decades, Britain and Greece quarreled countless times over the ownership of the Elgin marble statue, but nothing changed. The marble statue is still displayed in the British Museum.

The British Museum relies on not returning the Elgin marble statue. One of the reasons is that the protection conditions in Athens, Greece are too poor, and the Old Acropolis Museum is too broken to be suitable for the collection of this priceless treasure.

However, after the completion of the New Acropolis Museum in 2009, the exhibition collection conditions have reached the world's top level, and the British Museum still has no plans to return the Elgin marble statue.

This made the Greeks angry and hated the British Museum even more. They bit their teeth with hatred.

As the curator of the Acropolis Museum and the experts and scholars of this top museum, Pandemaris and the others can imagine the mood when they heard that the British Museum was sending people to Athens.

Ye Tian knew very well about these disputes between the British and the Greeks, and the grievances between the British Museum and the Acropolis Museum.

However, he didn't mean to mediate in the slightest, and he was even a little gloating. When the British and the Greeks meet, it will be good for people to play their heads.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Pendemaris~www.novelhall.com~ Let's put aside the grievances between you and the British Museum. I believe you will find a solution to the contradiction. Let's continue with this exploration.

At the beginning of the exploration operation, I will provide you observers with a yacht, follow us to the Mediterranean Sea, and you must not interfere with us in the next exploration operation.

If we were lucky enough to find this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure this time, and this shipwreck treasure does contain a large number of ancient Roman or Hellenistic sculptures, then it would be better.

Next, we will start the deep-sea salvage work. After we salvage the ancient sculptures out of the water, you can come up to appreciate and identify those ancient sculptures."

Hearing this, Pandemaris couldn't help being silent, as did the other Greeks.

After a while, Pandemaris nodded and said:

"Well, Steven, we accept your terms. I hope you all go well in this exploration and find those ancient Roman shipwrecks as soon as possible!"
