Intrepid, in the cabin.
Ye Tianna opened a black safety bag, carefully took out an antique relic from it, and presented it in front of everyone.
This is a mountain-shaped crown. Although it is made of gold, the production is rough and the style is a bit weird.
On this golden crown, there are many gems of different sizes and colors inlaid. Together with the golden crown, it emits an extremely dazzling light under the light, and it is dizzying to look at.
The reason why this crown of gold and gemstones is rather strange is because its main body is Baroque art style, but it is full of Indian civilization colors.
Especially the patterns and patterns engraved on the crown, many of which are symbols of Indian culture, are carved in baroque art style, which looks a bit nondescript.
Moreover, the production of this golden crown is relatively crude, far less exquisite than those mountain-shaped crowns in European countries.
If you look closely, you can even find that the left and right sides of this golden crown are not symmetrical.
It is almost impossible to see such a mistake on an item of special significance such as the golden crown, at least no one has ever discovered it before.
From these perspectives, this golden crown is very much like something that was made temporarily in order to cope with errands, or to cope with some situation.
However, the whole body is made of gold, and the purity is extremely high, and the material value is very good, which is a bit unexplainable.
In addition, some of the pedestals used for setting gems on this golden crown look like they were smashed out later, and the gems on those pedestals were also set later.
In this case, it seems that the person who got this golden crown disliked that the golden crown was not gorgeous and splendid enough, so he remodeled it himself and set it with a lot of gems!
Looking at such a golden crown, everyone was a little confused, not knowing why.
After carefully observing for a moment, Professor Paul said in surprise:
"How can there be such a golden crown? It's the first time I've seen it. It's so strange. Could it be that an Indian tribal chief who understands Baroque art made this crown around the 18th century?"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone was amused by this remark.
When the laughter subsided, Professor Kent immediately continued:
"This possibility should not exist! In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Indians have always been the targets of massacres and suppression. How could European colonists have the heart to teach them Baroque art!
It was not until the independence of the American colonies, and then in modern times, that the status of the Indians improved and they escaped the fate of being slaughtered. At this time, they had the opportunity to come into contact with European art.
But this is from the mid-to-late nineteenth century to modern times, and it doesn't match the history of this golden crown. From this point of view, the appearance of this golden crown is really strange! "
At this moment, Yahya suddenly interjected and said:
"Steven, you just said that some of the gold and silver treasures and antiques that were salvaged this time are very special and interesting, including this golden crown, right?
Come and tell everyone, what is going on with this peculiar golden crown? Could it be the product of traveling through time and space? Otherwise, there is no way to explain the appearance of this thing.”
Ye Tian looked at the crowd at the scene, then picked up the golden crown and pointed to the inner ring of the crown.
"Look here, everyone, the answer should be hidden in this line of text, Professor Paul, please translate this line of Portuguese for everyone!"
Following the direction of his fingers, everyone saw a long list of Portuguese and an exquisite badge on the inner circle of the crown.
Everyone is very familiar with that badge. It is the royal badge of the Portuguese Braganza Dynasty.
And behind the long string of Portuguese, there is a person's abbreviated signature.
Like the badge, the signature is very familiar to everyone. It is the personal signature of the Portuguese king, Pedro II, in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
The reason why everyone knows the personal signature of Pedro II is because they have seen several antique artifacts engraved with the same signature before, and each of them is very valuable.
Everyone knew the moment they saw the badge and signature.
This peculiar mountain-shaped gold crown is indeed from the late seventeenth century to the early eighteenth century, and it came from the hands of Portuguese craftsmen, but the production is relatively rough.
However, why was this golden crown made like this, and which king or chief's crown belonged to, and how did it fall into the hands of the black baron? It is unknown!
Just when everyone was puzzled, Professor Paul had translated the string of Portuguese engraved on the inner circle of the crown.
The inscription on it means that King Pedro II of Portugal canonized an Indian tribe chief named Green Python as the king of the jungle.
And this golden crown was made by the governor of Brazil and given to the green python by Pedro II.
As for the gems on the crown, it is estimated that only a few of the gems on the front were originally there, and the rest of the gems were later inlaid by the green python.
I just don't know how this peculiar golden crown fell into the hands of the black quasi-baron.
As Professor Paul translated this string of Portuguese, there was a sound of exclamation at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Douglas said suddenly:
"I may have figured out what is going on with this golden crown. Obviously, this is a golden crown specially made by the Governor of Brazil by King Pedro II of Portugal in order to win over the Indians.
The object of his win over was this Indian tribal chief named Green Python. Because the other party was an Indian, he made such a crown with both Indian civilization and Baroque art style.
But the rough manufacturing process of this golden crown shows everywhere, Pedro II and the Portuguese contempt for the Indians, they despise this Indian chief named Green Python from the bottom of their hearts."
Professor Paul nodded, then continued:
"This may be a tactic used by the Portuguese colonists before attacking the tribe of the Green Python, to let the Indians of this tribe relax their vigilance with a friendly attitude, and even regard the Portuguese colonists as friends.
When everything was ready, they showed their fangs and wiped out the Indian tribe led by the green python in one fell swoop. Of course, there is another possibility, this green python may be a puppet raised by the Portuguese colonists.
They used the green python to rule the Indians and other natives scattered in the rainforest, so as to achieve the purpose of colonization, which shows that compared with other colonial empires, Portugal's strength is still a little weaker."
Listening to their analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.
After discussing for a while, Yahya suddenly asked:
"Steven, what do you think of this peculiar golden crown? How much is this antique relic worth?"
Ye Tian looked at the crowd~www.novelhall.com~ and said with a smile:
"I basically agree with Professor Paul's analysis. The words engraved on the inner circle of the crown are the best evidence. This is the crown specially created by Pedro II for the chief of the Indian tribe, the Green Python.
The relationship between Pedro II and the green python was probably the relationship between use and being used. When the green python lost its value, it was killed by the Portuguese, and the crown returned to the Portuguese.
After several twists and turns, this golden crown happened to be looted by the black baron Roberts on the way back to Portugal, and then it was hidden. Hundreds of years later, this treasure was discovered by us again.
This is the first time I have seen such a peculiar golden crown. Although it is crudely made, it has a very special meaning. To be precise, it is one of the strongest evidences reflecting the Portuguese colonization of America.
This golden crown has high historical research value and symbolic significance, and is a rare antique relic. Combining these characteristics, I value this golden crown at about six million US dollars.”
"Wow! Six million dollars, this golden crown is so precious!"
Ye Haiya exclaimed, her eyes shining brightly.
At this moment, Jason suddenly walked into the cabin.
"Steven, everything is ready, the follow-up salvage work can begin!"
