Chapter 410: Century-old cultural relics, returned to their original owners
The photos in the email are indeed the eight cultural relics that the foreigner just mentioned! Although it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity from the photos, from the background analysis of the photos, they are definitely not the kind of pictures found on the Internet, and they must have been taken in real objects.
This also shows that there is a high probability that there is a good chance that a well-wisher will come to return the long-lost Chinese cultural relics!
"That gentleman, you wait a little longer, wait for me a little bit! I'll call our curator right now to answer the phone!" the museum staff immediately rushed out of the office. Fortunately, he didn't hang up the phone hastily or act recklessly. Otherwise, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be missed because of his mistakes......
"Curator Jin, something is wrong, Director Jin, something is wrong!" The staff hurriedly ran all the way to the curator's office.
However, when he knocked on the door with a "bang, bang, bang!", he saw that not only the curator was there, but even the deputy curator and the director were in the office holding a magnifying glass, looking at a newly arrived object.
Curator Jin, who was holding a magnifying glass in his hand, frowned and said unhappily, "Xiao Liu, what are you yelling about, what are you yelling about? I can hear your voice in the entire aisle, what's wrong? Don't you see us here, we're appreciating cultural relics? What's the matter, I'll talk about it later!"
As he spoke, Curator Jin motioned to the staff to close the door again, so as not to destroy their appreciation of cultural relics.
"That's the kind of curator! Some foreigners said that they would give us the "Female History Atlas", and there is also the jade cong of the Liangzhu culture! Kang Hou Wei from the early Western Zhou Dynasty will be returned to us! Now people are waiting on the other end of the phone!" The museum staff hurriedly and anxiously explained loudly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Curator Jin and the others, who were standing in front of him, who were originally going to continue to play with cultural relics, suddenly widened their eyes one by one! They all turned their heads and asked in surprise, "What!? Is this really fake?
"Of course it's true, Curator Jin! I asked the foreigner to send the photo he took to our public mailbox! Look at the background of the photo, it's not the kind uploaded on the Internet. The museum staff hurriedly ran to the computer and opened the email. Then ask the three leaders in the office to give a detailed clue to the photos on the email.
"Shhh...... This is really "The Female Historian"! Compared with the copy work in our museum, the photograph seems to be more superior. Curator Kim held a magnifying glass and gestured to and fro the photos on the computer screen.
The original work of "The Female Historian" has been lost, and there are two sets of copies of the Tang Dynasty. One is in the British Museum and the other is in the National Museum of Z. It's just that because the British Museum has never exhibited it to the world, those experts and scholars in China have never known where the facsimile was finally looted. It is only known that it was lost during the Opium War and the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance......
"Shhh...... This is the jade cong of the Liangzhu culture, and the Kanghou Gui of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the plutonium of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the glazed pottery of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When Director Jin, who was holding a magnifying glass, looked at the second and third photos in the email one after another, he was stunned in front of the computer again and again, and his mouth was constantly amazed.
"Xiao Liu, there are so many historical relics, why didn't you say it earlier? There are 8 pieces of 1, 2, 3, and 4!" the deputy curator asked, pushing his glasses.
Because the museum staff, Xiao Liu, only reported the names of two cultural relics at the beginning. Therefore, this made Director Jin and others always think that the foreigner was going to return two cultural relics.
However, what they didn't expect was that there was not only the "Female History Atlas" in the email, but also the jade cong of Liangzhu culture, a national treasure-level cultural relic. The other 6 kinds are all priceless historical relics! Take out any one of them, and you can become the treasure of the museum!
"That, that curator, the foreigner is still waiting on the other end of the phone! He is making international calls, which is very expensive. "The museum staff, hurriedly reminded the leadership. To say that it has been at least 5 minutes since he ran out of the office. Add in the previous 5 minutes of communication, that is a full 10 minutes.
I'm really afraid of the foreigner on the other end of the phone, so I hang up the phone with little patience. In this way, it will be a huge loss to their museum, and even the entire field of archaeological history!
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and answer the phone!" Director Jin immediately put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and then followed Xiao Liu all the way to his office.
Fortunately, the Russian foreigner on the other end of the phone was ordered by his boss and was still obediently waiting on the line. Otherwise, everyone will really have to toss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to toss......
"That's... Hello sir! I am the director of the National Museum of China, and my surname is Jin! Do you want to return these photos in your email to us?" asked Director Jin cautiously on the phone. For fear that the other party will suddenly regret it, then it will be over.
"Yes, it is mainly our boss who convinces the British Museum to return these historical artifacts of your country. He said that these cultural relics are very important to your country. For the sake of safety, I hope you can send the most authoritative cultural relics appraisal team to London, England on Saturday afternoon to do the relevant handover work. The address of the meeting, the specific time, and the phone number of the contact person are all in the email just now. ”
The male subordinate conveyed Ma Wei's meaning very well.
"Oh, yes, yes, we will, we will send the best experts to England!" replied excitedly over the phone. Judging from his experience, the artifacts on the email photos should be correct nine times out of ten.
After all, the Tang Dynasty facsimile of "The Female Historian" in the mail is more expressive and detailed than the one in their museum. Knowledgeable experts, according to the paper, according to the painting technique, can distinguish the authenticity at a glance. Moreover, no one at this level of Chinese painting has the courage to deceive and come up with a set of fakes.
Even if you have the courage and the strength to cheat. In a sentence from netizens, "Isn't it good to live well?"
The forgery of cultural relics is punishable by a sentence of 1.5 million yuan in terms of the amount and 12 years in prison. So these 8 town-level cultural relics are sentenced to eight lifetimes in prison, which is quite light...... You can't eat and walk around......
