A few hundred kilograms of gold to exchange an atomic bomb with Israel?

Of course, ordinary gold can't be, but this huge golden candlestick is really a bit of a possibility - it is more likely that the Mossad will go crazy and want to get the candlestick from Zhang Nan's hands, provided that he must exchange it for an atomic bomb.

But as Andre said, if Zhang Nan wants other items that the Israelis can get out, then it is estimated that he will be stuffed with whatever he really wants.

This candlestick is very important to Israel!

It is said that 3,200 years ago, a famous person made this huge candlestick with seven branches out of pure gold, six Roman feet high, one of the seven lamps in the middle is slightly higher than the six on both sides, it represents the Sabbath, and the remaining six represent the six days of creation.

Later, this menorah became a sacred object in the Jerusalem Temple, and the First Temple was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon in 586 BCE, when the whereabouts of the golden menorah are not stated and there is no record.

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

However, due to the unsuccessful rebuilding process, the second temple was not completed until 515 B.C., and by 37 B.C., the temple was enlarged by King Herod the Great, during which time the golden menorah remained in the temple.

In 70 C.E., the Jews rebelled against the tyranny of the Roman Empire, and as a result, the Roman general Titus led an army to besiege Jerusalem, and the Second Temple was burned down.

More than 1,900 years have passed, and since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the seven gold candlesticks have been lost, and they have been missing for nearly 1,400 years: the most widely circulated is in the Vatican.

In Rome, there is a triumphal arch of Titus built in 81 A.D. to commemorate the victory of the second emperor of the Flavian dynasty during the Roman Empire, Titus to suppress the Jews before his accession to the throne.

In fact, not only on the Arch of Titus there is a relief image of this huge candlestick, but also on some ancient Jewish coins, Jewish tombstones, and the mosaic floor of the ancient Jewish synagogue, there are seven candlesticks, in fact, this unique golden candlestick has become the emblem of Judeo-Christianity.

It is recorded to be six feet high, which would have been measured to be consistent with the record: 175 centimeters in length, 29.6 centimeters in length in one Roman foot, a difference of less than three centimeters.

It is very heavy, and the bottom of the candlestick is a hexagonal hollow base, and the flanks of the base are in relief with tasks. Part of it has been flattened, but even if it is empty, when the photo is taken and it is taken out, it feels like the overall weight of the candlestick will not be less than 300 kg!

The menorah was brought to the ground, and Andrei found that the reactions of those present were very interesting: a group of Americans were in a state of excitement and were not fanatical.

Bodyguards, you don't need extremes, you're very qualified.

Those guys from Huaxia are like looking at something slightly strange, and they don't seem to be strange in their eyes, they just heard two experts say that this thing is 3,000 years old, and then they hear a "oh" or two.

It's not that I haven't seen gold, and besides, the pyramids in Egypt have been dug up, and 3,000 years is obviously insignificant.

There are many Israeli veterans in the "United Forces", but Andre has long found out that there are not only Israelis in the boss's core bodyguards, but even Jews, which is not because the boss hates Israelis, but more like a deliberate avoidance.

Except for Andre and the Red Devils, everyone else was not the slightest bit surprised by the huge golden candlesticks and the pit of gold coins, even Jerry Goodencowan and Rick Becker, two guys who study history and artifacts!

What does this mean?

Andrei knew that there was only one reason for such a reaction: it was numbness, numbness after getting used to it!

These people should have seen much more exaggerated treasures than this, and it doesn't matter for a long time.

Plus deliberately avoiding the Jews and the Nazi gold bricks that were sent to Andrei and others before...

Well, the boss had 100% of the hidden treasures of the Third Reich, and compared to the looted objects of Hitler, this pit seems to be nothing except for religious reasons.

The menorah was temporarily laid flat on the grass, and Jerry and Rick took advantage of the fact that someone went to pick up the cart that carried the large barrels in the castle.

Jerry also said as he cleaned up: "Originally, it was said that it was secretly stored in the Vatican, and it was also said that it had been hidden in a cave in Galilee in northern Palestine..."

Now it is clear, but Zhang Nan has a problem: after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, the Romans transported this candlestick back to Rome as an important trophy, so where did it go in the past 1,900 years?

Zhang Nan had doubts, and Rick-Becker, who was covered in mud, said: "The first-century Jewish historian Josephus recorded this, saying that the candlestick was later stored in the Temple of Peace in Rome.

It was most likely taken to the Carthage region of North Africa during the sack of Rome by the Oriental-Vandals in 455 AD.

Later, according to the Eastern Roman Empire historian Procopius, in 533 the menorah was transported to Constantinople by the Byzantine army commanded by the general Belisarius under the command of Justinian I.

The menorah was then returned to Jerusalem by the Eastern Roman Empire, and no written record of it has been found.

Many people believe that it was most likely destroyed when the Persians looted Jerusalem in 614 C.E., but it is now seen that it was not plundered or melted down in the first place, but was most likely hidden.

It was then found by the Templars, and the menorah was safely and secretly transported out of Jerusalem before Saladin captured it..."

The Knights Templar initially used the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as their headquarters, and many of this was due to the fact that the Knights learned that the legendary Temple Mount contained hidden treasures, possibly because they had been able to obtain hidden menorhs during that time on the Temple Mount.

Zhang Nan was noncommittal to Rick's statement, and instead said: "There is another possibility, for some reason, the Knights Templar made a copy of a candlestick by themselves, and they have the financial resources. ”

300 kilograms of gold was nothing more than a triumphant Templar order.

Rick smiled, "That's going to take some time to look into it." ”

The 13th century BC and the 13th century AD would be very different from the metalworking skills, which is not difficult to tell, but it needs evidence that can convince the boss, and Rick and Jerry are not in a hurry to do so.
