After roughly introducing the statue of "Hercules Killing the Nemean Lion", Ye Tian said confidently:

"Witts, you manipulate the robotic arm that comes with the submarine to cut the coral attached to the outside of this statue to see if my judgment is correct. The location is the lion's head.

In the cleaning process, you must be careful. This is probably a famous sculpture from the Hellenistic period or ancient Greece. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invaluable.

Most of the existing ancient Greek and Hellenistic sculptures are in bad condition, and most of them are Roman replicas. This shows the preciousness of this statue."

"Understand, Steven, don't worry, leave it to me, I will be very careful, and I will never cause any damage to this precious statue."

Waiters nodded in response, his tone very firm and excited.

This is a major discovery that has caused a sensation in the world, and a historic moment. Can he not feel excited about being able to participate in it?

Next, the two robotic arms slowly probed out, and the small Aurora submarine also moved forward a bit, approaching the beautiful coral reef.

The place where it finally stopped was just above the head of Nemea's lion.

Waiting for the submarine to stop in the sea, Waiters immediately manipulated the two robotic arms and started cutting.

On the other side, Matisse also made new discoveries.

"Steven, we found two metal heads placed side by side. Based on this analysis, they should have been packed in the same wooden box and sank into the ocean together, and then landed on this ridge.

The two avatars are not big. The profile of one of the avatars looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can’t remember it for a while. You may recognize them when you see their 3D scanned images."

Matisse's voice came from the intercom system, announcing the latest findings.

Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly chuckled, and the eyes of the others were also bright, and everyone's eyes were full of expectations.

"Good job, Matisse, you send over the three-dimensional scanned images of the two metal heads. I will see what statues they are, but I am not sure I will recognize them."

"Okay, Steven, I will post the scanned image."

While talking, the three-dimensional scans of the two metal heads were passed over, from all angles, which looked not much bigger than the heads of ordinary people.

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the outlines of the two heads, froze for a moment, then pretended to be excited:

"You may have found two priceless treasures, Matisse, I know that the profile picture you are familiar with is that one. If you guessed it correctly, it should be the one with the larger head and the back of the hairline?"

"Yes, Steven, I look familiar with the outline of that head, but I just can't remember where I have seen it. Whose head is it, and which sculptor is it?"

"Hahaha, the profile of that head is normal when you look familiar. There are countless people like you, because you have seen a Roman replica of that head in the Louvre in Paris, France.

This is the head of Socrates, one of the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy. The philosopher has a large head, a hairline in the middle of his head, and a thick beard like a lion. Its outline is very recognizable.

In addition, it’s not obvious who the head is carved, but it must be extraordinary if it can be placed with the statue of the philosophical giant Socrates. Maybe it is Aristotle or Plato."

"Yes, it's the head of Socrates! Come to think of it, I saw the head of Socrates in the Ancient Greek Pavilion when I was visiting the Louvre. No wonder the profile looks familiar!"

Not surprisingly, the conversation between Ye Tian and Matisse once again caused quite a stir in the outside world.

"What? That is actually the head of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, and the other may be the head of Aristotle or Plato, did I hear it wrong? How is this possible?"

"God! What kind of shipwreck treasure is this? Could it be that the famous sculptures of ancient Greece that have been famous for a long time, but eventually disappeared mysteriously, are all sleeping on this seabed?"

As people exclaimed, the experts and scholars who followed the expedition fleet all stood up as if being electrocuted, staring at the live broadcast with their eyes fixed on them, and they couldn't bear to blink their eyelids.

It can be seen that each of them is extremely excited. Many of them have blood red eyes and rapid breathing, like a galloping train.

In Greece, in Italy, in France and the United States, and even in almost every country in the Western world, many people's performance followed them, and every one of them was bleeding red!

And Ye Tian, ​​who was on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, continued to perform his own performance and continued to create an even greater sensation.

"The head sculptures of the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy collected by the Louvre are all Roman replicas, and the objects they replicate are the works of one of the three major sculptors in the Hellenistic era, the masters of Western Persia.

It is a pity that the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy sculptures in West Persia have long been missing. Most of the sculptures that have been handed down to the world are Roman replicas, and they are based on the works of the masters in West Persia.

Not only that, almost all of the head sculptures of the Three Great Three of Ancient Greek Philosophy, or the image of the Three Great Three of Ancient Greek Philosophy, are more or less related to the sculptures of the masters of Western Persia.

The three heads of ancient Greek philosophy created by Liuxi Persia were all bronze sculptures, while the later Roman replicas were carved from marble, but the two heads in front of them are made of metal.

Then I boldly speculate whether the bronze head sculpture of the ancient Greek philosophical giant Socrates and the unknown bronze head next to it are the works of the masters of the Western Persia?

If this guess is accurate, then there is no doubt that this is definitely a great discovery that shocked the world, and the value of these two bronze statues may not be lower than the "Venus de Milo" in the Louvre.

You know, there are very few sculptures by the three major sculptors in the Hellenistic era, and only a few of them are broken, lacking arms and legs. Such a complete bronze sculpture can be said to be unique."

Before the words fell, the outside world had completely boiled, like a volcano erupting violently.

"My God, the bronze head sculpture of the three giants of ancient Greek philosophy created by one of the three major sculptors of the Hellenistic era and the master of the ancient Greek philosophy, this sunken treasure is too exaggerated!"

"If what Steven this guy said is true, this "Socrates" bronze head sculpture is indeed from the hands of the master left Sipos, then there is no doubt that this is definitely a great discovery!"

While people were holding their heads in their hands and exclaiming frantically, the governments of Greece and Italy, as well as the governments of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, responded quickly and began to act.

Of course, the US government, which is always paying attention to this exploration of the ancient Roman shipwreck treasures, is not far behind.

It didn't take long for many ships to sail out to sea, swiftly approaching the Ionian Sea with full horsepower, and many aircrafts also whizzed off into the air, flying directly into this much-anticipated sea area.

Like the exploratory fleet on the sea, the two small aurora submarines located deep in the sea also rang out with cheers, and everyone was excited.

After a brief celebration, everyone put into intense work again and continued to explore this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure, and each one was high-spirited and not at all tired.

At this time, everyone is very clear in their hearts that there will definitely be even greater surprises later.

As a large piece of beautiful coral was cut open and dropped to the ridge below, the huge head of a male lion appeared in front of everyone and appeared on the live broadcast screen.

Although a lot of coral debris remains on this male lion head carved from marble, the outline is clearly visible, without any doubt.

Obviously, Ye Tian's previous speculation was very accurate.

The ancient sculpture that is covered under this beautiful coral reef is indeed "Hercules Killing the Nemean Lion", a famous ancient Greek mythology.

As for the work of a famous sculptor in ancient Greece or the Hellenistic period, it is not yet known for the time being, we have to do more research!

After this sculpture is salvaged from the water and reappeared in the world, relevant research work can begin.

I believe that it will not take long to get an accurate answer, which will once again give the world a huge surprise!

Of course, Ye Tian knows better than anyone about the origin of this statue of "Hercules Killing the Lion of Nemea" ~www.novelhall.com~ but can't explain it publicly.

"Well, Waiters, the cleanup will be done later. Our top priority now is to explore the overall situation of this sunken treasure as soon as possible, and then make the next salvage plan.

Without even thinking about it, the world on the sea is completely boiling at this moment. Many people are estimated to be rushing here. We have to rush to explore this area thoroughly before more people arrive here."

Ye Tian smiled and said, stopping Waiters from continuing to clean up the coral reef.

"Okay, Steven, everything is up to you"

Waiters nodded in response, and then retracted the two protruding mechanical arms.

After the mechanical arm was fully retracted, Ye Tian immediately reached out and pointed forward.

"Guys, continue to explore, there must be bigger surprises waiting for us in front of us"

In the next moment, this small Aurora submarine sailed forward.
