**************
The things downstairs have been looted, and the rest is of course the work upstairs to be swept up.
There are still a lot of good things on the second floor, and of course you can't let go of them here.
Among the top ten treasures of the British Museum, Jin Muchen has patronized five, and the remaining five, of course, cannot be let go.
During the day, he took a break to sweep all the treasures of the legendary town, although he didn't look at it very closely, but a lot of good things were also remembered in his mind.
Upstairs, for example, the Portland vase in Hall 70.
This vase is one of the finest gemstone glasses left over from the ancient Roman period.
The vase was first acquired by the Duke of Hamilton in Rome, later transferred to the Duchess of Portland, and then loaned to the British Museum for display.
However, in 1845, the vase was smashed to pieces by an angry young man from Ireland......
Later, it was reassembled by the British Museum's painstaking efforts to find more than 200 pieces.
This ancient Roman vase, originally identified as the first century B.C., to the first century A.D., the body of the pot is pottery, but on the body of the pot is very exquisite glass relief, it is difficult to imagine that the people of that era, through what technical means, to complete this work.
This work was in the hands of the British Museum and was considered by connoisseurs at the time to be one of the finest works of art in the British Museum.
This point was later found in the fragments. And a positive attitude of repair. You can see how much they attach to this treasure.
On the contrary, those silk paintings looted from China back then. But it has never been taken so seriously, until after the founding of New China, when sorting out the national archives, it was found that there was no silk painting of Dunhuang in China.
In this way, those silk paintings attracted the attention of the British, and the reason why they attached great importance to them was not because of the historical, cultural and artistic value of those silk paintings themselves. It's because of the strange goods in the heart.
Even with a bit of contempt and humiliation before they take it seriously, think about your Chinese things, but you don't have them in your hands, but we only have them in our hands, such a thing, if every Englishman knows, how much can they enhance their national pride?
And as for what you Chinese think, we don't care.
It was this attitude that caused them to restore those silk paintings indiscriminately when they were later restored. In the end, the silk paintings were severely damaged.
Whenever he thought of this, Jin Muchen couldn't hide the anger in his heart.
Now standing in front of this Portland vase. A sneer appeared at the corner of Jin Muchen's mouth, the reason why these Brits attach so much importance to this vase is probably mainly because it is a valuable relic left by their ancestors of white civilization, right?
Although there have been some entanglements between the history of Britain and ancient Rome, the degree of involvement is not very deep, but these British, and even the Americans on the other side of the ocean, always like to think of themselves as descendants of the Roman Empire.
Hehe, today I will let you be 'proud'!
Jin Muchen raised his hand to make a hammer, but he didn't have the strength to use this hammer, and with a hammer, not only did he smash the glass cabinet where the Portland vase was stored, but even the vase inside directly turned into powder......
What do you think? Does it feel good to be stubborn to be in the ancestral grave?
Think about what you British did in our China back then, selling opium, countless invasions, it was because of you bastards that we fell into the humiliation of a hundred years of continuous land reparations.
In those years, the Chinese who died in war and poverty did not know how many, and these were the causes you planted.
Didn't you burn down the Old Summer Palace back then? Today, Lao Tzu also lets you taste the taste of this old nest quilt!
But this was not enough, Jin Muchen turned around and walked out of the exhibition hall, and then came to Hall 42 on the other side, which is one of the few places in the museum where authentic British antiques are stored.
The first thing Jin Muchen patronized was the relics of the Sateng Hu boat placed on the left hand side, which was a whole ship of gold and silver jewelry, and various warrior armor.
This ship was the burial chamber of King Redwald of East Anglia in the 7th century.
At the end of the 5th century, the Anglos, one of the Germanic peoples, crossed the English Channel and invaded England to establish the Anglo-Saxon kingdom, although at that time they were only a small part of the island of Great Britain.
For hundreds of years, the island of Great Britain took on a state of warring states, until Edward the Elder, the son of the King of East Anglia, ended the Seven Kingdoms era, unified England, and established the Wickess dynasty!
So this King Redwald can almost be regarded as the ancestor of most of the British people now.
Back then, your children and grandchildren did so many unconscionable things in my country, and what I have done today is nothing more than to recover a small interest.
Jin Muchen stood in front of the ship's burial, laughed secretly, and then began to swing his hammer at each other.
After a few clicks, the counters containing jewels, the king's gold belt, and the crown inlaid with various gems were all gone, and then those jewels, the king's gold belt, and the crown all fell into Jin Muchen's purple jade space.
As for those armors and various swords, Jin Muchen picked the best set of chain mail and helmets, as well as a two-handed sword, and the rest......
Hehe, let's have a good taste of my hammer.
Back then, your children and grandchildren did similar things in our country, but whatever you can't take away, you won't leave it, you will smash it all, and if you can't smash it, you will burn it out.
Compared to what your children and grandchildren have done, what I have done is just a piece of cake......
For a while, in the No. 42 exhibition hall, the sound of striking iron sounded, and soon those swords were knocked to pieces, and those armors were also smashed into potholes, and many places were smashed and smashed.
If you want to fix something like this, you don't want to repair it at all unless you rebuild it.
It's just that if it is rebuilt, can these things still be considered antiques?
But Jin Muchen couldn't care about those, and at this time, his eyes had shifted to another set of good things in the No. 42 exhibition hall.
This thing is also very promising, this is a beautiful set of chess.
It was discovered sometime before it was exhibited at the Scottish Antiques Society on 11 April 1831 in a small stone chamber in one of the dunes of Uiguer in the Louise Islands.
Because when it was first discovered, everyone did not understand his value, so the record of this set of chess is also relatively vague.
But it was later discovered that the pieces, all made of walrus tusks and whale teeth, were made in the form of obelisks, including seated kings and queens, bishops wearing crowns, knights on mounts, standing jailers and soldiers.
This attracted people's attention, and it was inferred that these things were likely to come from Norway in the 12th century.
But no matter where it came from, its exquisite workmanship and excellent materials made this set of chess pieces a treasure of the British Museum once it was collected, after all, it was the embodiment of the wisdom of their white ancestors.
But now, hehe, I came softly, waved my hand and took the chess away, but left a mess all over the ground......
In addition to the No. 42 exhibition hall, Jin Muchen finally realized the essence of the saliva song, what he wants is this feel, double cool!
Walking forward quickly, not far from the No. 44 exhibition hall, there is also a treasure of the town, this treasure is the pride of the British.
The tower clock of Casbury Park, made in 1610, must have been quite proud of the fact that at that time, it was completely dependent on the principle of gravity to make such a beautiful timepiece.
It's just that today, the master's purple jade space is almost full, and he has no interest in installing such a tower clock, by the way, in this space, there seems to be a little thermite, and the belt has been brought in, so don't waste it.
Soon, in a piercing sound, the tower bell turned into molten iron all over the ground......
It's still not enough, you burned down our garden back then, not to mention the treasure snatched from which yard, the garden alone is the crystallization of our ancestors' hard work and wisdom, so you ruined this little thing, and even the interest is not enough to compensate.
Jin Muchen's eyes rolled, and he finally remembered that in the No. 50 exhibition hall, there seemed to be an Englishman's ancestor who was being offered.
This is a 2,000-year-old mummy found in the Lindau swamp in 1984, this is not an Egyptian mummy, this is an authentic British mummy, according to historians, this mummy should be a living person who was sacrificed by people back then, was thrown directly into the swamp, and then because it was isolated from the air, it was finally carbonized into a mummy.
And it is also the ancestor of all Britons, and it is the earliest citizen of the United Kingdom, so since it was discovered, it was brought back to the British Museum for offering, as the treasure of the town!
Jin Muchen came to the front of this mummy, to be honest, he didn't want to look at it, after all, it was a dry corpse of thousands of years, and it looked a little panicked!
"You seemed to be resentful enough back then, but I pity you for these unscrupulous descendants, not only did not let you settle in the ground, but also pulled you down to the museum for exhibition, master, I am in a good mood today, so I will overtake you......"
After speaking, Jin Muchen took out the last bit of thermite and poured it on it......
After all this was done, Jin Muchen looked at his watch, it was already half past four, and in another half an hour, there would be more people on the street, and he seemed to have another place to go...... (To be continued......)
