There are also ornaments of the head, thorax and abdomen, which are carved with human heads and patterns of birds and animals, as well as the daily necessities of the ancient Indians, such as pots, cups, bowls, basins, masks, shrines, fish fishing, etc.

These devices are mostly made of gold leaf and gold wire, with rich and colorful styles, superb skills, exquisite workmanship, and each piece is a very valuable work of art.

Chen Rui put these golden devices into the pregnant sea pearl space and continued to search.

An hour later, Chen Rui found a pair of gold armor in the mud at the bottom of the lake, the gold armor is composed of three gold parts: gold helmet, gold armor, and gold leggings.

In order to search for the treasures of the ancient Inca Empire in the Golden Lake, Chen Rui made a lot of efforts, and consulted a large number of documents and materials about the ancient Inca Empire, the Golden City, and the Golden Lake on the Internet and in the local library.

At this time, the scene of a pair of gold armor wrapping a human skeleton in front of Chen Rui's eyes quickly reminded Chen Rui of the legendary "Golden Man" mentioned in the literature about the Golden Lake.

The so-called "golden man" is a "golden man" who wears a golden helmet, wears a golden armor, and ties golden leggings to his legs, and is sent to the middle of the lake by the clansmen, and is willing to sink to the bottom of the lake as a 'sacrifice' sacrifice to the gods.

The Musca culture worships water the most, and the ancestor goddess of the Musca people, Bachue, came out of the lake, and the Tsibucha people believe that the gods live in the lake, and it is there that life begins and ends.

The story of the "Golden Man" still preserved by the Paleo-Indians.

About the "Golden Man", it has been a legend and the story of the Indians about the "Golden Man" before.

But at this time, Chen Rui saw a human skeleton wrapped in gold armor, which undoubtedly confirmed the authenticity of this legend.

Once it is announced, it will cause a shock to the world.

And the gold armor will also become a rare treasure.

In fact, the surprise for Chen Rui is still to come.

After several months of searching at the bottom of the lake, Chen Rui found gold products, gemstones, jade, pottery, and stone tools from the ancient Inca Empire, and there were so many treasures and fine products that were beyond Chen Rui's imagination.

In particular, there are more than 1,000 pieces of gold products, ranging from ritual utensils, to ornaments on the head, chest and abdomen, to daily necessities, each of which is a fine product, exquisitely made, with a simple and elegant style and a strong local and religious color.

Through the relevant materials related to the ancient Inca Empire, Chen Rui learned that the Indians of Guadavida were high-level craftsmen who made zuò gold, and the craftsmen who lived on the shores of the "Golden Lake" were the leaders of the Musca Empire.

And the vicinity of Lake Guadavida is rich in gold mines.

It's not hard to see why there are so many gold products.

There are several pieces of gold armor that are more valuable than those found before.

The golden boat, on a gold bamboo raft nearly 20 centimeters long, stands 11 golden shining golden people, golden toads with different postures, exquisite, and the craftsmanship of making zuò is very exquisite.

The Golden Boat has one piece in the Colombian Gold Museum, known as the treasure of the town hall, a priceless treasure.

Legend has it that the chief of the Indians, who was coated with gold dust and carried various gold offerings, went on this "golden boat" to worship the gods in the sacred Lake Guadavida.

This gives the golden ship an intangible value, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a rare treasure, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.

In addition to this, there is also a head of the Inca god.

This is the only genuine gold piece of the Inca god in all of Colombia and is worth a fortune.

A few days later, Chen Rui left the Golden Lake with a full harvest.

Next, Chen Rui thought about what to do with this batch of treasures.

Of course, before that, we have to consider the recourse to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and other countries that were part of the Inca Empire in the 11th and 16th centuries.

'Recourse' is also a problem that every treasure hunter and treasure hunt company has to face.

For example, the Spanish government's recourse to the "Mercedes".

China's recourse to the National Treasure of the Old Summer Palace and the shipwreck in the South China Sea.

The Egyptian government and government have recourse to ancient Egyptian cultural relics

There are very few cases where success can be pursued.

In early 2009, Christie's auctioned off the head of an animal in the Old Summer Palace, despite Chinese opposition, reflecting the difficulty of recovering lost cultural relics.

The reason why this is the case. There are two reasons for this, on the one hand, because the recourse party can provide too little evidence to clearly prove its attribution.

On the other hand, the reason is that the provisions and principles of international law guarantee the interests of the treasure holders in many respects.

For example, "lex situs situs", "principle of acquisition in good faith", "principle of acquisition of prescription", "extinguishment of acquisition of prescription", "principle of non-retroactivity of treaties". International and national laws and principles guarantee the interests of the holder of the treasure to the greatest extent.

For these two reasons, it is very difficult for Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and other countries to recover these treasures of the ancient Inca Empire from Chen Rui.

This is because these countries are not in a position to provide strong evidence of their right to attribution.

Secondly, through the principle of prescription, possession of so-called "historically plundered" cultural relics can obtain property ownership of these cultural relics or be exempted from possible return or compensation obligations in accordance with the national law of the country where they are located.

For example, most of China's so-called "historically plundered" cultural relics have been in free circulation for more than 100 years, and have long since exceeded the statute of limitations for exercising the right to make a claim.

There is also the principle of non-retroactivity of treaties, which sets a statute of limitations for the recovery of cultural objects.

Also in China, because this principle means that China has waived its right of recourse to cultural objects that have been displaced by war and smuggling before 1923 (when China acceded to the 1995 Convention in 1997).

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spanish colonists, driven by the dream of gold, carried out a large-scale expedition to search for gold-plated people everywhere, setting off a crazy tomb robbery fever, and robbing countless gold, precious stones, and jadeite.

The Golden City and the Golden Lake were visited by the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the English and the Germans.

It can be said that the ancient Indians' gold products, pottery, stone tools and other works of art were lost to the whole world just like Chinese art was plundered by robbers.

Most of the artworks are outside the statute of limitations for recourse to the relevant laws and principles of various countries.

In addition, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and other South American countries lack strong evidence.

International and national laws and principles will protect Chen Rui's ownership of the treasures.
