After visiting the Parthenon, it was about half past one noon.

Next, Ye Tian and the others went to visit the Temple of Erechtheion, which is located in the north of the Parthenon and is not far from it.

Like the Parthenon, the Temple of Erechtheion is recognized as a symbol of Western culture, but is slightly less important than the Parthenon.

This famous temple building is also located on the square at the top of the Acropolis, and is a stone's throw away from the Parthenon.

Built between 421 and 405 BC, the Temple of Erechtheion was originally a stone temple for the remains of the Eight Saints, and legend has it that it was the place where Athena and Poseidon fought for the protective god of Athens.

The temple has three shrines, dedicated to Zeus, the god of the sea, Poseidon, and Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths.

Between the three shrines, they are connected by two distinctive colonnades, with square holes in the ceiling and floor of the northern colonnade, said to have been pierced by Poseidon's trident.

Like the statue of Athena in the Parthenon, the statue of Zeus, the god of the sea, Poseidon, and the statue of Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, are no longer there.

But compared to the Parthenon, the state of the Temple of Erechtheion is somewhat better.

In particular, the famous colonnade of the goddess is relatively well preserved, and through this colonnade of the goddess, people can see the grandeur and magnificence of the temple of Erechtheion.

When visiting this famous ancient Greek temple, Ye Tian did not forget to turn on the perspective ability, and thoroughly saw through every corner, every stone pillar, and the depths of the underground of this temple.

In particular, at the foot of the sculpture of the six ancient Greek maidens in the colonnade of the goddess, which, according to legend, is the burial place of the mythical ancestor of Athens and king of Attica, Kerdrops.

It was also this King of Kerdrops who witnessed the battle between Athena and Poseidon, and was a witness to the battle between the two for the Greek protector.

It's a pity that at the foot of those statues of ancient Greek maidens, Ye Tian didn't find any cemetery, and naturally there were no bones of the ancestors of Athens, only some fragments of antique cultural relics from earlier periods.

In the depths of the underground in other parts of this temple, Ye Tian still had some discoveries, but they were only discoveries, and it was impossible to have them at all.

After leaving the Temple of Erechtheion, the group descended from the top of the Acropolis and visited the ruins of the Temple of Zeus not far away.

Compared to the two temples on the top of the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus is even more dilapidated.

The Temple of Zeus, located in the village of Olympia in Athens, Greece, was built to worship the main god Zeus, and was once the religious center of ancient Greece and one of the largest temples in ancient Greece.

When the famous temple was built around 470 BC, there were 104 Corinthian stone pillars supporting the temple on a spectacular scale.

The statue of Zeus, once enshrined in this temple by Phaedias, the god of classical carving, is more than 12 meters tall and is inlaid with countless gold, ivory, and various precious stones.

It is this dazzling statue of Zeus that has been named one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

But today, this magnificent temple has long since been destroyed, leaving only 15 Corinthian pillars that stand above the sky and the earth, telling people about the glory of Zeus's temple in those days.

And the statue of Zeus, which is more than 12 meters high, could not escape the bad luck, as early as 426 AD, it was destroyed in a fire and disappeared completely.

At the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, Ye Tian and the others did not stay for too long, and after taking a look at it, they left here by car and went straight to the next stop.

The next stop on their tour is the famous National Archaeological Museum of Greece.

When the convoy arrived at the street where the National Archaeological Museum of Greece is located, it was seen from afar that Maria, the director of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, was waiting at the entrance of the museum with a group of experts and scholars.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh softly.

He knew very well in his heart that the reason why Maria and the others came out to greet them was not because of how good the relationship was with him, nor because he valued himself very much.

The reason why these heavyweights in the field of collecting Greek antiques were so enthusiastic was simply because of the impending exploration and because they promised to send someone to participate in it.

It must be admitted that the Greeks take great pride in the history and civilization of their country, and have always spared no effort in protecting historical sites and related antiques.

This can be seen from the decades of war with the British government and the British Museum, and their repeated claims for Elgin marble statues and other Greek antiques.

As he spoke, Ye Tian and his convoy had already arrived at the entrance of the museum, and stopped one after another.

Matisse and the others immediately got out of the car and quickly set up a cordon, while Ye Tian turned on the perspective and thoroughly saw through the area within a radius of more than 200 meters, not letting go of any corner.

Several security guards who were scattered in the crowd pretending to be tourists were also on alert, secretly keeping an eye on pedestrians and tourists coming and going in front of the museum.

It wasn't until they were sure that the site was safe and there were no hidden dangers that Ye Tian and Mattis got out of the car and landed on the square in front of the museum.

At the same time, Mary and the others had come down the steps and came near.

"Good afternoon, Steven, and happy to visit the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, it's a pleasure to see you here, Pendemaris called me and told us the good news"

Maria stepped forward with a bright smile on her face and greeted Ye Tian.

"Good afternoon, Maria, I'm glad to see you again, I've been admiring the National Archaeological Museum of Greece for a long time, and I've wanted to come here for a long time, and this time I'll be able to feast my eyes!"

Ye Tian said politely with a smile on his face, and hugged the old friend.

Next, Maria introduced the other high-level officials of the museum, and Ye Tian shook hands with them one by one and got to know each other.

After some politeness, Maria took Ye Tian and them towards the gate of the museum.

During the journey, Ye Tian repeated what he had said to Pendemaris to Maria again.

After hearing this, Mary was silent for a moment, and then asked pretending to be curious:

"Steven, can you determine the nationality of these ancient Roman shipwrecks that you have found at the bottom of the Mediterranean, whether they belong to the Roman Empire, or to Greece, or to other countries.

And one more point, were the sculptures and other antiques carried on these Roman shipwrecks shipped from the Roman Empire to Greece, or from Greece to the Roman Empire?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at this old friend, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, fleeting.

What Mary meant by that, he knew it all too well!

If the Roman shipwrecks prove to have originated from Greece or belong to ancient Greece, the Greek government will make a claim regardless of the location of the wreck and what was inside.

If the sculptures and antiques in the shipwreck treasure were related to Greece or shipped from Greece, the Greeks would not let go of these treasures, and the claims would be more justified.

This is the way the Greeks have always been, and it is well known in the field of collecting antiques and art and in the field of treasure hunting.

Don't look at how polite the Greeks are now, when this shipwreck treasure is salvaged and presented to everyone in the world, the Greeks will change their faces!

It's a sure thing, and I definitely didn't run!

Regarding this, Ye Tian knew this, and he had already been mentally prepared, knowing that it would be a matter of time before he broke up with the Greeks.

He didn't care at all, this kind of thing didn't happen once or twice, what did it matter if there was one more group of enemies and a few more protesters in the square of Rockefeller Center?

"Maria, we don't know much about this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure, and some of the information needs to be kept secret for the time being, so I can't disclose it, I hope you can understand.

Please be patient and wait for the search for the shipwreck's treasures to begin, and when we salvage the treasures that have been sleeping in the depths of the ocean for the past one or two thousand years, the answer will be revealed!"

Ye Tian said with a smile and dealt with this problem.

"Well, Steven, I hope you all the best in this expedition to explore the treasures of the shipwreck of ancient Rome and give the world a great surprise"

Maria continued, and glanced at Ye Tian deeply.

At the same time as the words fell, they had already walked into the gate of the museum and started another journey.

Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.

In the Mycenaean exhibition hall of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, Ye Tian and the others were standing in front of the No. 3 bulletproof glass display case, admiring the antique artworks displayed in this display case.

Behind them and on both sides, there were many tourists from all over the world, admiring the antique relics displayed in the display case while listening to Ye Tian's professional and wonderful explanation.

"The golden mask you see now is the famous Golden Mask of Agamemnon, which is the best proof of the Mycenaean civilization and one of the treasures of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece.

The two eyes of this golden mask are bulging, and it looks bright, and its wide face seems to encompass everything, and the two wide and slightly upturned mustaches on the side of the mouth are even more interesting.

Looking at these gold cow head cups and wine glasses, the patterns are slender and as thin as paper, which are all works from 3,600 years ago, which shows that the ancient Greek gold manufacturing industry has reached the point of perfection.

After reading this exquisite gold mask and the rest of the gold products, let's talk about the story hidden behind these antique artifacts, the name Agamemnon, everyone must be very familiar with it.

That's right, this Agamemnon is the Mycenaean king of ancient Greek mythology, and the commander of the Greek army in the famous Trojan War, who led the coalition to defeat Troy, thus praising the ,...... of the ages"

Next, Ye Tian told the hidden story behind Agamemnon's golden mask with emotion, and everyone at the scene listened to it with relish and unconsciously immersed in it.

And Maria, who was standing on the periphery, and several top antique art appraisal experts from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, couldn't help but have a look of admiration in their eyes when they listened to Ye Tian's explanation.
