In 539 B.C.E., when the Persian Empire overthrew the Neo-Babylonian kingdom, Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, decreed that the Jews should return to Jerusalem in 537 B.C. to rebuild the temple.

The rebuilding process did not go smoothly, and it was not until 515 BC that the Second Temple was completed, and in 34 BC, under the auspices of King Herod the Great, the Second Temple was expanded.

In 70 C.E., as a result of the Jewish rebellion against the tyranny of the Roman Empire, the Roman Emperor Titus personally commanded a large army to conquer and destroy all of Jerusalem, as well as the Second Temple.

The Second Temple is one of the holiest sites in Judaism, and the Wailing Wall, the holy place and spiritual home of all Jews in the world, is the site of the Western Wall of the Second Temple,......"

Ye Tian introduced the Second Temple in a low voice, so as not to make David and them confused.

As he whispered, Carl and Joshua, along with the other Israelis in the antique shop, came to their senses.

Immediately after, these guys pounced on the seven-branch bronze candlestick placed in Ye Tian's hand, and their excited eyes lit up one by one, almost crazy!

Seeing their performance, Ye Tian immediately gave way to the side to make room for these guys, so as not to be besieged by these crazy guys.

As for the safety of the seven-branch bronze candlestick, he was not worried, it was a bronze object, not a painting or porcelain, and it could not be easily damaged.

Besides, knowing that the bronze candlestick was most likely the holy vessel of the Second Temple, how could the Israelites in Joshua be willing to damage the treasure and not dare to!

Even if they touched the bronze candlestick, they had to put on gloves and be very careful, lest they accidentally touch something, and they would become sinners of the nation!

Unfortunately, their eyesight was limited, and everyone looked at it with wide eyes for a long time, and discussed it in a low voice, but in the end they didn't see what the quaint bronze candlestick had to do with the Second Temple.

In this case, they had to ask Ye Tian for advice.

"Steven, what is the basis for your statement that this bronze candlestick was cast in the first century A.D. and is enshrined in the Second Temple?

I believe you are well aware of the significance of the Second Temple and the Sacred Vessels enshrined in the Temple to all Jews throughout the world, so we sincerely hope that you will explain it!"

Joshua said with a solemn face, his voice trembling a little with excitement.

The other Israelis were the same, everyone stared at Ye Tian closely, expecting his answer.

Ye Tian looked at Joshua, glanced at the other Israelis, and then said with a smile:

"Of course, the reason why I came to such an appraisal conclusion is that I have my own basis, and it is by no means nonsense, but I am inconvenient to say some of the tricks involved in this.

As a top professional treasure hunter and a top antique art expert, these tips are what I rely on to survive and make money, and naturally I can't divulge them.

It's about vision and knowledge, but it's also about feeling that you can't put it into words, and I've always had a good sense of antique art, and I've never gone wrong, and this time was no exception!

It's a pity that Carl didn't do the carbon 14 test after he got this seven-branch bronze candlestick, and if he had done this scientific test, he wouldn't have made a mistake in identification!"

Hearing this, Carlton, who was standing next to him, was so remorseful that he was about to die, and his heart kept dripping blood.

If he had a pistol in his hand at this time, he would definitely raise the pistol, pull the trigger on his head, and die!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Carl, his eyes were full of sympathy, and the other people on the scene were the same, looking at Carl's eyes were full of sympathy and pity.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"About half a year ago, at a flea market in Philadelphia, USA, I saw a very badly damaged seven-branch candlestick, which was very similar to this bronze candlestick.

The bronze candlestick was so badly damaged that it had lost two lamps on its left, one on its right, and four other lamps on its own.

Because of this, when I saw the bronze candlestick for the first time, although I thought it was a little special, I didn't take it seriously, so I didn't take it seriously, and missed an opportunity.

Who knew it would be the only chance, and by the time I came to my senses, knew what I had missed, and returned to the flea market the next day, the bronze candlestick had been destroyed.

According to the stall owner, when he returned home the night before, the box containing the bronze candlestick accidentally fell to the ground, completely breaking the tattered bronze candlestick inside.

Seeing this, he threw the bronze candlestick in a dumpster on the side of the road and drove away, not realizing exactly what he had thrown away."

"Hey——!"

There was a sigh at the scene, and every voice was full of regret.

In particular, the Israelis led by Joshua were so distressed that they almost fainted to death, and secretly scolded the tyrannical stall owner for squirting blood, and even the eighteenth generation of ancestors did not let go!

But Joshua didn't know that this was just a story made up by Ye Tian, that the stall owner who destroyed the heavens did not exist at all, and that the broken bronze candlestick of seven branches was even more useless.

The reason why he made up such a story that could not be traced at all was to pave the way for the next discovery, so that everything seemed plausible and flawless.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"It was through that opportunity that I learned that the design of this seven-branch bronze candlestick had ulterior motives, and that there was a secret hidden in it, and this secret may be the most direct and powerful evidence!"

"There's a secret hidden in there? What is that secret? Steven, tell us about it!"

Joshua said impatiently, his expression extremely excited.

"No problem, but in revealing this secret, I need to keep knocking on this seven-branch bronze candlestick, and I hope you can hold back your heartache and not interfere with my actions.

This is a necessary process, and this bronze candlestick belongs to me, and I have the right to dispose of it freely, and of course, I will try not to cause damage to this treasure.

To me, this seven-branch bronze candlestick is a priceless piece of antique art that cannot be damaged in the slightest, and I cherish it more than anyone else!"

Hearing this, Joshua and the others nodded helplessly and didn't say anything more.

What can they do without nodding? It's not theirs, they can only stand by and watch, waiting for the final result.

Next, Ye Tian borrowed a small hammer from Carl and prepared to use it for tapping.

Then he asked David to come and help, and he held the bronze candlestick with seven branches in both hands, and he took the small hammer and tapped it lightly on the bottom of the lamp in the middle of the candlestick.

The force of his striking is small, but the frequency is very high, tinkling, and the sound is quite pleasant.

But the voice was so harsh to Joshua's ears.

The continuous clanging sound is like a knock on their heart, making each of their hearts contract, which may cause heart disease and burp at any time!

In the process of percussion, Ye Tian did not forget to explain his intention to do this, lest those Israelis get angry and turn back to their own anxious eyes.

"Looking through the broken candlestick I had seen in Philadelphia before, I found that there was a mechanism, or a dark compartment, at the bottom of the Sabbath lamp in the middle, in which something could be hidden.

Hopefully, there is something hidden in the dark compartment at the bottom of this lamp, and it may be a huge surprise, or even a discovery that shocks the world, and if so, it would be great!"

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present suddenly became even hotter, and everyone stared at the bottom of the lamp, which symbolized the Sabbath, expecting a miracle.

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already tapped the bottom of the lamp back and forth many times, and only then did he stop tapping when he felt that it was almost there.

Then he put aside the small hammer in his hand, and then took the seven-branch bronze candlestick from David's hand, supported the pedestal in one hand, and held the lamp symbolizing the Sabbath in the other, and turned it with all his strength.

At first, the wrist-thick bronze lamp did not move.

The hearts of everyone at the scene were in their throats, and they looked at Ye Tian's movements in great confusion, and Joshua and the others were even more nervous and almost out of breath!

"Squeak——!

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal rubbing at the scene, which was extremely harsh and made goosebumps all over the body.

But this noise is like a natural sound in the ears of everyone at the scene, not to mention how beautiful it is!

The bronze lamp that Ye Tian was holding tightly in his hand finally moved, and began to slowly rotate in the counterclockwise direction, and was slowly pulled out by Ye Tian.

Everyone held their breath, staring at Ye Tian's movements, not even daring to come out.

It took about a minute and a half for Ye Tiancai to lift the bronze lamp for about ten centimeters, and this minute and a half was like a century long, tormenting everyone!

After another ten seconds or so, Ye Tian suddenly lifted upwards and directly lifted the bronze lamp with the thickness of his arm, out of the base of the bronze candlestick.

What immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a vertical dark grid, with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, and the space was very small.

"Wow! There's a dark lattice at the bottom of this lamp, and it's so ingenious, it's almost seamless!"

"I don't know what secret this secret is hidden? It's so exciting, maybe it's a huge discovery that shocks the world!"

Just when everyone was talking, Ye Tian had already put two fingers into the dark grid, and pretended to be surprised and said:

"There's a gold pendant here, it's stuck in the dark compartment just right, and this gold pendant seems to have Hebrew words engraved on it!"

As he spoke, he had taken the gold pendant out of the dark compartment and displayed it in front of everyone.

At the same time, Joshua, who had already come up, read out the meaning of the Hebrew passage in despair.

"To the beautiful Miriam, who will always love you, Herod!"

Before the words could be spoken, all the Israelis in the scene had gone mad.

"Oh my God! This is a token of love from King Herod to the love of his life, Miriam! There is no doubt that this seven-branch bronze candlestick is definitely a holy vessel enshrined in the Second Temple!"

"Tokens of King Herod the Great, sacred objects of the Second Temple, these are the treasures of the kingdom of Israel, and they are sacred to the hearts of all Jews!"
