The largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold artifacts in the UK to date!

This is the common opinion and recognition of a group of experts, and once this conclusion is reached, the value of this treasure can really be described as 'incalculable', not to mention, whether it is the quantity, weight, or range of materials used, it is indeed far beyond the scale of cultural relics unearthed in Britain before.

"Can any of you tell the material of these hilt balls?"

The group of experts in the studio still gathered around the table as if no one was around, bending over the table with a magnifying glass, exclaiming from time to time, talking about their discoveries and inferences, and discussing them from time to time.

"Unrecognizable, not seen. ”

"Unheard of. ”

"Unknown materials, this needs to be tested by instruments, and seriously, archaeologists around the world may not be familiar with these artifacts... ”

“。。。 Yes, it will take at least a year, if not longer, to appreciate and value these artifacts. ”

"It's been a long time, and it's been a long time since we had to dig through the epic to find clues to the original and ultimate owners of the gold artifacts, and when and why they were buried.

I'm thinking about the question of which warrior got such a large gold item in a battle, or is it a collectible that he has accumulated over a long career as a horseman?

These mysteries need to be solved one by one, and it seems that those of us will have to study it in the future!"

Hearing this, Arthur, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and seemed to reveal a meaningful sneer, good guy, he didn't even ask the master, and began to talk to himself about the ownership of this batch of cultural relics. However, he didn't say much, because in his opinion, no matter what these people said or what reason they used, no one could take this batch of treasures.

However, Paul, the butler on the side, did not look so good-looking, serious and dignified, and seemed to have a trace of anger and indifference, he was really a little angry at these people who were no one else, completely ignoring the rude behavior of their master, and glanced at Arthur, and found the sneer on the corner of the young earl's mouth, and he suddenly spoke.

"Ahem, everyone!"

The butler Paul's light cough and raised tone made everyone look back at him a little dazed, and the butler Paul looked indifferent, straightened, raised his chin slightly, and said in a very elegant aristocratic tone.

"I need to correct the expert's question just now, I don't know the original owner of this batch of gold products, but I know the identity of the final owner, that is, the first generation of Thomas Boleyn, the first Earl of Boleyn, as for the specific time of burying them, it should be in the ten years from 1211 to 1221, as for the reason, it is a family inheritance. ”

"Oh, how do you prove what you say?" asked an expert with a frown, a somewhat dissatisfied tone and expression.

As soon as the expert's unkind rhetorical question came out, the faces of several other experts standing around him changed slightly, and the faces of the two officials of the Treasure Evaluation Committee beside Arthur changed drastically, and when they wanted to speak out to prevent and ease up, their most worried voices came from their ears.

"Hehe, there is no need to prove it, because this fief belongs to our Boleyn family, from the first Earl of Boleyn Thomas Boleyn to the current me, the thirtieth Earl of Boleyn Arthur Boleyn, our family has lived on this land for more than eight hundred years.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if they weren't buried by my ancestor, Count Thomas, because they still belong to the Boleyn family, to mine, and there is no objection to that!"

Arthur said with a smile on his face, his voice was a little clear, and he said without any emotion, and his eyes looked around indifferently, looking at the experts with different expressions because of his words.

"Ahem, of course, of course, it's an indisputable fact that you absolutely own these artifacts, Your Excellency. An official of the Treasure Assessment Committee hurriedly coughed and smiled, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Earl, I didn't mean to offend your family, I just instinctively asked rhetorically, after all, the most important thing in doing archaeology is rigor, and every conclusion should have indisputable evidence to corroborate and prove. The expert who asked Paul also explained with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Yes, Your Excellency, your discovery this time can be said to be of equal value to the discovery of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutang Carmen in Egypt. We were inevitably a little excited, I'm really sorry, it was rude. ”

At this time, eight archaeological and cultural relics experts realized their faux pas, completely ignored and ignored the master, one by one without the consent of the master, they couldn't wait to come forward to check the research, talking to themselves, some words completely ignoring the owner's feelings, it is indeed extremely impolite.

This means that the other party is a nobleman, whether they like it or not, they will maintain elegant etiquette, otherwise their disrespectful behavior can be completely blasted out by the master's family.

"I can understand your feelings and feelings, after all, when I found them, I was very excited and excited. The other party's apology was so sincere, Arthur naturally couldn't show any care, this group of people still has real materials, and in such a short period of time, so much information can be identified, it is indeed not in vain.

"I have to say, Your Excellency Earl Arthur, this astonishing discovery of yours may change the perception of the history of the Anglo-Saxon period in England. It can be said that the excavation of these artifacts is of great significance to the United Kingdom, and even has "potential" significance internationally. At this time, an elderly white-haired expert looked at Arthur with a solemn expression and a burning eye, and said, "I can even conclude that the foundation of archaeological research in Britain in the next 20 years will be based on these artifacts." ”

The old expert seemed to be very prestigious, and as soon as he said this, the other seven experts all nodded in agreement with serious expressions, and all looked at the young earl.

Arthur smiled suddenly, but sneered in his heart, and sure enough, without saying a word, he used this kind of righteousness to put pressure on himself, but unfortunately, they used it in the wrong place, British archaeological research has a fart relationship with him, not to mention that he is not British inside, even if he is, he will not choose to turn it in, didn't you say before that its value is immeasurable?

Although there is a kind of beauty, it is called thinking about beauty! However, they can't help but think too beautiful!

"Paul, go and see, why hasn't the black tea been served for you yet?" Arthur didn't want to take care of the experts' words at all, but turned to Paul and said.

"LORD, PLEASE WAIT A MINUTE, I'LL TAKE A LOOK. As he spoke, the butler Paul bowed slightly elegantly, then straightened up, tilted his chin slightly, and turned away with an elegant and arrogant look.

And everyone on the Treasure Evaluation Committee, seeing that the young earl didn't have any trouble at all, couldn't help but look at each other in disappointment, and the elderly expert among them shook his head in disappointment.

Everyone is a smart person, Arthur's attitude needless to say, they also understand, although there is the "Treasure Law" that allows experts like them to see more cultural relics and antiques, but it has never been easy, and it has been easy to get the treasures dug up by folk treasure hunters, and it seems that this time I don't know which museum can come up with a huge amount of money cheaper.

There is no way around it, as the goals of treasure hunters and archaeologists are fundamentally conflicting. Archaeologists are concerned with historical information, with the relationship between artifacts and places, buildings, and other finds, while folk treasure hunters are concerned with the object itself and its market value.

Moreover, the greatest pain of these experts is that this so-called "Treasure Law" is the product of their failed compromise, because it is the result of decades of continuous struggle between private treasure hunters and professional archaeologists, and finally the defeat of professional archaeologists.
