Chapter 475: The Lamberton Museum

After turning around the hall where the Gary Adventure is housed, you will enter the museum's official exhibition halls.

The museum is shaped like a medieval sailing ship, and the interior structure is similar to that of a sailing ship of the time. The first thing that catches your eye as you enter the main hall from the first hall is a large patio that runs from the bow to the stern.

This patio occupies almost a quarter of the area of the formal exhibition hall and is very well lit because of the transparent glass above. On both sides of the patio, there are rows of small exhibition halls like ship cabins, which are divided into more than ten different exhibition areas according to different types of exhibitions, such as jewelry, jewelry, gold products, silver products, silver products, gold bricks, silver ingots, ancient coins, precious stones, weapons, armor, masks, scepters, etc., and in the small exhibition halls in these exhibition areas, they are placed in the representative treasures of Captain Kidd's treasures.

Of course, under this huge patio, in addition to some seats for visitors to rest, in the very middle, there is the second separate exhibit in the entire museum, that is, the famous Claus gold anchor chain.

The entire Claus gold anchor chain is placed in the middle of the patio, covered by a heavy bulletproof glass box as a whole, and on the periphery of the glass box, there is a circle of obstacle chains that block tourists from approaching, so that tourists can only watch the famous Claus gold anchor chain through the bulletproof glass box at a distance of more than two meters.

After entering the formal exhibition hall, visitors walk around the courtyard in the middle of the exhibition in the order of front to back, right to left, and the first exhibition area is the gemstone exhibition area. In the seven or eight small exhibition halls in this exhibition area, some polished and cut gems selected from Captain Kidd's treasure, such as ruby sapphire, diamond, emerald, and other four major gemstones, are placed. It can be seen in this exhibition hall. Among them, a pink diamond weighing 46.8 carats and a blue diamond weighing 41.7 carats are the most eye-catching.

Diamonds are now the world's number one gemstones, and in the large pile of gems discovered by Tang Feng, after Matthew. Bell's selection revealed two giant colored diamonds mixed in, though neither of them was as large or colour as the blue diamonds set in the two golden scepters. But for now, these two diamonds with a pretty good cut are also extremely rare.

In addition to these diamonds, there are several ruby sapphires over 50 carats and an emerald gemstone weighing more than 150 carats, all of which are very eye-catching. As for the other gems that are put out, they are also very valuable.

These gems alone, if they were put up for auction, would be worth four or five hundred million dollars!

Past the gemstone exhibition area is the gold and silver products exhibition area, in which some carefully selected gold and silver products are placed. For example, the set of gold tableware that Tang Feng gave to Su Qun and Dai Yao as a wedding gift is placed in this exhibition area, including gold and silver, as well as some gold and silver products from Latin American and European royal families, and many of them are placed here.

Walking through the gold and silver products exhibition area, it is the jewelry exhibition area, in this exhibition area. There are many European gold and silver jewellery from the 12th and 3rd centuries to the 17th and 18th centuries, which are probably obtained by Captain Kidd from plundering European ships. Of course, there are also a lot of jewelry with Latin American influences.

These jewelry, which is made of gold, silver, and even some copper with a variety of gemstones, although not as exquisite as modern jewelry in terms of processing technology, but these jewelry contains a strong sense of history.

After the jewelry section. It's a special little exhibition hall where there are only two items, the two golden scepters studded with giant blue diamonds.

The two golden scepters were placed in the center of the small exhibition hall, and in a booth made of heavy bulletproof glass, two golden scepters of the same shape but different lengths were placed next to each other. This is clearly a pair of scepters owned by the emperor and empress of a certain country in ancient Latin America. It's just that after hundreds or thousands of years, the people who held these two golden scepters have turned into ashes, leaving no traces in this world, but these two golden scepters that represented the supreme imperial power back then still shine in the world, silently confiding in their supreme scenery to future generations.

After this small exhibition hall, it is the gold brick and silver ingot exhibition area that people can't pull out at a glance. Compared to those gold and silver products and precious stones, this yellow and white thing is actually the most eye-catching.

The exhibition hall on the first floor of the whole building is arranged in the order of every few ordinary exhibition areas plus a special exhibition area, after walking around the patio, when visitors finish the last exhibition area on the first floor, a spacious staircase appears, this staircase leads to the exhibition hall on the second floor, visitors only need to go upstairs along this staircase, you can enjoy the prehistoric civilization relics placed on the second floor.

In a part of the exhibition hall on the second floor, there are things that Tang Feng brought out from the underground hall that is suspected to be the South American Tunnel, and the things in the underground hall were not carefully observed because of the existence of vampire bats at that time, so he had to bring them all out. After returning to Beaumont, Tang rented a warehouse and kept the items in that warehouse, resulting in nearly half of the warehouse.

Then Tang Feng found a few big trucks and transported these things to the second floor of the museum, which had been renovated. Bell: They're here to classify these prehistoric artifacts.

In terms of numbers alone, these artifacts from the Great Tunnel of South America are no less, if not more, than the treasures of Captain Kidd. Among these cultural relics, most of them are some stone products, such as stone paintings, stone tables, stone chairs, stone tableware, and of course, there are also many gold, silver and copper products, most of which are mainly gold animal shapes. In general, these relics are not the same as those of Juan? The artifacts Dr. Moritz found in the halls of the underground tunnels in Ecuador are similar, but in much larger numbers.

There are many stone paintings and some gold and silver products that modern people can't understand, such as the metal book made of unknown metal, thousands of pages of metal books, even after tens of thousands of years, are as new as new, but the content inside is incomprehensible to anyone. Dr. Moritz found a similar metal book in an underground hall in Ecuador, but the contents have not been deciphered.

Of course, as for the origin of these artifacts, Tang Feng said vaguely at the time, only telling Matthew that they were made from an underground cave in Bolivia. For this kind of rhetoric, Matthew. Bell naturally understood what the boss meant, so in addition to classifying these relics, Matthew. Bell has an even more important task, which is to find a suitable provenance for this artifact (to be continued). )
