It wasn't until around noon that Ye Tian and the others finished visiting St. Peter's Basilica and walked out of the church with a lingering mind.

In this way, there are some places that they still do not have to visit carefully.

As always, during the visit, Ye Tian once again secretly opened the perspective, and thoroughly saw through the inside and outside of St. Peter's Basilica, as well as the depths underground.

Under the perspective, the entire St. Peter's Basilica was seen through by him, and he did not let go of any corner.

All the secrets hidden here, whether in the dome, in the walls, or in the depths of the earth, whether known or unknown, were clearly presented to his eyes, and nothing was missed!

These secrets cover a wide range of fields, including art, religion, politics, economics, history, military, architecture, and more!

There are even some unspeakable secrets, such as the privacy of some important figures in the history of the Vatican.

There are many surprising new discoveries that, once revealed, are sure to 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 of this place, and therefore will not be able to possess those hidden secrets.

Especially those top-level antique artworks that are priceless, but have been sleeping in the depths of the ground for hundreds or thousands of years, he is extremely greedy, but he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Therefore, he could not disclose his series of major discoveries, so he could only admire them alone in secret and hide these secrets in the depths of his heart.

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

After leaving St. Peter's Basilica, everyone went to 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 out, but under the leadership of Leonardo, they dined in an internal restaurant only for Vatican priests and staff, and the dishes were not bad!

After lunch, everyone returned to their lodgings to rest for a while to regain their mental and physical strength.

At about half past two in the afternoon, Ye Tian and the others left the guest room again, led by Leonardo and several clergy, through the garden, towards the Vatican Museums on the north side of St. Peter's Basilica, ready to visit there.

The Vatican Museums, one of the earliest museums in the world, began as early as the fifth century AD.

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

The establishment of this famous museum is also partly due to a major archaeological discovery.

In January 1506, in a vineyard near the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, a famous statue from the ancient Greek period, Laocoon and his sons, was excavated.

When the statue was unearthed, it immediately caused a sensation in Rome at that time, and people rushed to see and see the great carving art of the ancient Greek period!

When Pope Julius II heard the news, he immediately sent Michelangelo and another top artist to inspect the excavations.

Subsequently, on the recommendation of Michelangelo, the Pope took the opportunity to buy the statue from the vineyard owner, transported it back to the Vatican, and soon put it on public display.

It was on this occasion that the Vatican Museums were officially established, and it has a history of more than 500 years.

The Vatican Museums are huge, with a total area of about 5.5 hectares, which is equivalent to 1/13 of the Forbidden City, but due to the spatial differences between Eastern and Western architecture, its exhibition area is similar to that of the Forbidden City.

The exhibition space in the museum is six kilometers long, not to mention that it takes a lot of time and energy to visit here.

This famous museum has 12 galleries and five art galleries, including the famous Sistine Chapel.

The collection of antique artworks in this museum brings together countless relics of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the essence of Renaissance art, and most of them are priceless.

In terms of the quantity and quality of the antique art collection, the Vatican Museums are in no way inferior to other top museums such as the British Museum and the Louvre, if not surpassing!

In Europe, the Vatican Museums are ranked quite highly, being the third or fourth most famous temple of art, and the same is true around the world.

It's also one of the most expensive museums in Western Europe, and it's open for a short time, closing early at 1:30 p.m., with only one free opening day on Sundays at the end of the month.

But none of this has anything to do with Ye Tian and them, as guests invited by the Vatican, as well as future collaborators, they once again enjoy the privilege.

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

That is the two paintings that Ye Tian gave to the Vatican before, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning Christ", in exchange for the Pope going to Boston to preside over the wedding and send blessings!

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

With the two paintings on public display for the first time in more than 200 years, countless art lovers have flocked to the Vatican Museums to admire the two top works of art.

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

In view of this, no one raised any objection to Ye Tian's privilege to enter the museum after closing.

While speaking, Ye Tian and his party had already arrived at the visitor entrance of the Vatican Museums, and gathered together with several high-ranking people of the Vatican Museums who were waiting here.

As soon as everyone stood still, the director of the Vatican Museums stepped forward and said enthusiastically:

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

"Good afternoon, Antonio, it's a pleasure to see you again, so polite, the two paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo originally belonged to the Vatican, and we just borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha.

I've been fascinating the Vatican Museums and its priceless collections for a long time, and I'm looking forward to the next visit."

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

After a few polite words and greetings, Antonio led Ye Tian and them into the Vatican Museums and began to visit the museum to appreciate the many priceless treasures displayed in this museum.

After entering the Vatican Museums, the first pavilion they visited was the Gregorian Egyptian Museum, referred to as the Egyptian Pavilion.

The entrance to this pavilion is small and looks very historic, and there are many small pavilions with precious artifacts from various periods of ancient Egypt.

One of the most striking is a 3,000-year-old mummy, the dried corpse of a woman, which is quite well preserved, and is one of the more famous and must-see collections in the Egyptian Pavilion.

Moreover, the lid of this female mummy is opened, and it is presented in its entirety in front of all visitors, which looks somewhat eerie.

Then there is the standing statue of the King of Mummies, Anubis.

Anubis was the patron saint of the soul in ancient Egyptian theology, and often appeared in the form of a jackal in the murals of the Pharaoh's necropolis, as well as on other funerary objects.

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

After taking a look at the artifacts on display, they quickly left the pavilion and walked to the next pavilion.

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

More importantly, the spiritual power in his eyes instinctively repelled these corpses thousands of years ago, as well as many burial objects, and he didn't like the thick death aura emitted by these cultural relics.

After leaving the Egyptian Pavilion, the group entered the Biot Clément Museum, led by Antonio and Leonardo.

This is one of the most famous exhibition halls of the Vatican Museums, mainly focusing on sculptures from the ancient Greek and Roman periods, including the three treasures of the Vatican Museums sculpture category!

They are, The Statue of Laocoon and His Sons, The Crippled Body, and Apollo on the Watchtower.

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

In any other museum, these sculptures are treasured in the collection, but in the Vatican Museums, they can only be relegated!

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