The candlesticks, which were long enough, big enough, and heavy enough, were carried onto the trailer and temporarily transported into the wine castle for cleaning, and Zhang Nan told Paul to transport the things away as soon as possible.

You don't have to think about the French regulations on the cultural relics unearthed underground, this thing can only be hidden for the time being!

This is not because of the various French rules for cutting the door, but what was moved out of the temple in Jerusalem, or the extremely important seven-branch candlestick in Western history, once it was made public...

At that time, you can still "hehe" because your nerves are thick enough, once this situation appears, let alone Zhang Nan, no one can withstand it!

When the time comes, even if you want to give that thing away, it's a big hassle!

To whom?

It will be very happy to give it to the Israeli family, but if it is made public first and then given away, it is estimated that many people will jump out and be unhappy, Zhang Nan does not want to be the target of some crazy people!

More than a dozen strong men moved it carefully, so as not to break the candlestick, which was originally made of splicing.

Carefully carrying the candlestick, the scene is even a little funny: this is a candlestick, not a 1000-pound bomb, who has ever seen a candlestick with this head before?

Looking at this scene, Chariz Theron asked stupidly: "You really won't exchange this thing for Israel, will you?"

Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't think that others would take his ridicule seriously.

"I'm not stupid, besides, what good things in Israel are worth exchanging right now?"

Charlie's mind spun and she deflated: It seems that there is nothing worthy of Zhang Nan's attention, the atomic bomb is a joke, what if you take it back as a time bomb to blow yourself up?

There is no shortage of civilian technology and wealth, as for the military one, the collapsed Soviet Union is his warehouse, and even the latest fighter jet trade agreement is said to be signed soon, even if you want to get two ordinary bullet production lines, it is trivial.

Other equipment is a minor problem, and you can move whatever you want.

Zhang Nan touched the back of the girl's head and said with a smile: "In 20 years, there is nothing in Israel that is worth my exchange for that candlestick, and I will put it at home as an ornament for the time being."

As for the future...

In the future, this thing will drive the Israelites mad!"

The thing was too big to take it apart and transport, but there were trucks in the castle that could be taken away as a whole. And this is France, and when everything else in the pit has been cleared, it will be shipped with the menorah to Nice, on the Mediterranean coast, and in a month at most it will appear in the basement of Long Island, New York.

The problem now is to hurry up and clean up the staggering amount of gold coins in the pit: at first glance there are no silver products, basically all large and small gold coins with slight differences in gold, and a small number of gold products such as gold chains and gold medals.

At first glance, it feels like digging for ancient Roman treasures in the yard of your own house in England a few years ago.

Well, it's also in my yard now, and it's a big deal that this fence is still a kilometer away in a straight line.

A few SUVs drove over and surrounded them, digging as much as they wanted, and Adjani was a little strange that in addition to Jerry and her own man, even Charlie, the little girl, had to go down to the big pit to clean up.

What's the situation?

Princess Xingchen, who doesn't touch the spring water with her hands, actually has to deal with mud pits!

When I asked, I learned that Xiao Nizi can now be regarded as half a treasure hunter, and she found precious gold coins in Austria before, and she was completely infected by her own man.

Hurry up and use the tomb robber cleaning method that Zhang Nan used in Austria before, which is fast and efficient, that is, the cleaning process becomes a manual method.

This is a wine castle, and there is a sink for washing things.

As the clean-up progressed, gold coins from all European countries were produced, almost all the gold coins from European countries from the 11th century to the end of the 13th century AD were available here, and there were many in the Arab world at the same time.

There are also a very small number of badly worn gold coins from the Roman period, and it can now be judged that this treasure was buried by digging a large pit in the ground, then burying it in a large empty chest, possibly an empty coffin, and then pouring gold coins into it.

This kind of burial method Zhang Nan has encountered in two lifetimes, and this method is used in Hongwu Cellar in Xixi Wetland, Hangzhou, China: bury the box first and then load the money, the big deal is that one uses a coffin, and the other uses a box wrapped in leather, and even the era is less than 100 years apart.

As for the huge candelabra, it is believed that it was rested on the coffin, which may have been protected by wrappings at the beginning, but as time passed, the coffin and the wrapping outside the candlestick were taken away by nearly 7 centuries, leaving almost no traces.

After cleaning up about 20 centimeters down, in the northwest corner of the burial site, Jerry seemed to have found something special.

"Boss, come and see. ”

Zhang Nan heard a turn, and just now he was still saying that this wooden board could not withstand the erosion of time, but as a result, there was a little remnant of the wooden board in the horizontal direction of the northwest corner - it was originally under a thick layer of gold coins, and the wood chips were also gold coins underneath.

Zhang Nan looked at it carefully and said, "Put the box in the box,"

As he spoke, he pointed to a black-brown strip of torn strips, "This should be the leather strip wrapped around the outside of the box." ”

"Boss, the gold coins in the small box are of the same variety. ”

Jerry said and handed Zhang Nan a few extracted gold coins: the front of the gold coin is a statue of an emperor wearing a military uniform, holding a cross in his right hand, and the reverse side of the gold coin is also a cross pattern.

Seeing it clearly, Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Byzantine Emperor Heraclius?

Brand new, with little to no traces of circulation, which is kind of interesting. ”

"Yes, boss, that's him.

This is a batch of gold coins minted between 610 and 613 A.D., and I see that this little box is all there, and now I see... With this discovery, it is safe to assume that Persia seized control of Jerusalem from the Byzantine Empire in 614, the year the garrison of Jerusalem hid a large amount of treasure along with the menorah, which was then acquired by the Knights Templar six centuries later.

At that time, the Knights Templar may have run out of money, so they kept a portion of the gold coins of Heraclius Suledus as a strategic reserve. ”

This is a major discovery!

Jerry judged this to be a high probability that the Templars would eventually hide their wealth in the early 14th century, and beyond this speculation, it was unlikely that they would have obtained a large number of nearly new gold coins minted in the early 7th century.

There is a very plausible explanation for its use as a strategic reserve: the gold coins of the time of Emperor Heraclius were of very good quality, and even during the Crusaders they were a popular hard currency throughout Europe and the Near East and North Africa!

As the most fundamental strategic reserve of wealth of the Knights, of course, it is necessary to choose the most popular and widely circulated hard currency.

This small box of Heraclius Suledus gold coins may seem like three to five thousand coins, which would be a lot of money.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the gold of this coffin;

And this coffin of gold is a trick compared to the candelabra that covers them—not the weight, but the meaning to the Western world.

After taking pictures again, Zhang Nan planned to get out the same batch of Suledes gold coins first, but Rick-Becker, who had been moved into the candlestick in the wine castle, actually ran over.

It's running, not walking!

"Boss, there's a big discovery in the candlestick!"
