"This—This is glass?"
Yang Jing looked at the box full of crystals that reflected pale yellow-green light under the illumination of the light, and after recognizing it for a long time, he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.
Looking at the glass-like crystal in his hand with obvious small black dots and dark streaks inside, as well as the wavy continuous finger pinching lines on the surface, Yang Jing finally remembered a report he had seen a long time ago, which contained an introduction to the Libyan gold glass meteorite.
To say that the discovery of this Libyan gold-glass meteorite is also directly related to a famous tomb in the world.
This tomb is the tomb of Tutankhamun, the twelfth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt.
Tutankhamun is well known to modern Westerners because his tomb was never stolen for three thousand years, until 1922, when British explorer Howard Carter discovered his tomb with the support of Earl Carnarvon and unearthed a large number of treasures, thus shocking the Western world.
In particular, Tutankhamun's tomb was engraved with mysterious incantations, and coincidentally, several of the earliest people to enter the tomb died early for various reasons, which was hyped up by the media at the time as "the curse of the pharaohs", making Tutankhamun's name more well-known in the West.
After the excavation of Tutankhamun's grave, the life and cause of his death have been the focus of debate in archaeological research, but the conclusion is still inconclusive.
Today, most of Tutankhamun's funerary goods are on display in the Cairo Museum in Egypt.
There are countless treasures in Tutankhamun's tomb, and one of them is particularly peculiar, and that is a gemstone ornament of Tutankhamun.
Archaeologists who study the tomb of King Tutankhamun are puzzled by the beetle carvings in the young pharaoh's gemstone ornaments.
Researchers know that this scarab carving is made of glass, but they don't know which ancient Egyptian glass matches this lightweight form with its mineral content.
It wasn't until 1998 that an Italian mineralogist proved that the scarab carving was made of Libyan desert glass.
This kind of desert glass is Libyan gold meteorite glass.
Libyan Desert Glass is a natural glass composed of nearly 98% pure silicon, making it the purest natural glass in the world.
Compared with ordinary artificial glass, Libyan desert glass does not begin to melt until it is heated to 1700C, and the melting point of artificial glass varies from 500-1400C due to different additives, which is enough to prove the magic of this glass.
And when the desert glass is heated to 500 degrees, it will not break even if it is immediately discarded into the water.
It is because of these extremely special properties that Libyan desert glass has long been regarded as the creation of a mysterious force.
The composition of Libyan desert meteorite glass is very complex, some resemble foam glass, some are small spheres of cristobalite condensed by high crystalline silicon at high temperatures, and most of them contain black spots or dark stripe inclusions, and some contain dark inclusions.
After the analysis of the glass with these different characteristics, it was confirmed that the Libyan desert meteorite glass was a by-product of the meteorite impact.
In fact, the glass is estimated to have been created 29 million years ago when a meteorite with a diameter of about 110 meters hit the Earth.
At that time, the meteorite smashed into the desert territory near Egypt in the west of present-day Libya, causing a crater 20 times larger than the crater in Arizona, USA, and releasing about 1.1 billion tons of ladder equivalent energy, which instantly liquefies the rocks, fools and soil on the ground, and under the action of high pressure, finally formed this extremely precious Libyan desert glass.
This kind of glass has only recently entered the eyes of the world, unlike the Czech meteorites that have been circulating for a long time and even are rife with fraud, this kind of mysterious desert glass is now very valuable, and its value is even higher than the same weight of gold, so it is known as "Libyan gold meteorite glass".
This kind of glass is also a national treasure of Libya, and many people usually can't see it with their own eyes, but here, there is a whole box!
In order to determine the true identity of the crystal in this box, Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify it, and the answer he gave was indeed "Libyan Gold Meteorite Glass".
It's good, undoubtedly good.
It is estimated that when Gaddafi was in power, their father and son collected it, but they didn't expect it to be cheaper now.
Put it away and don't negotiate!
happily put the box of desert glass into the storage space, and Yang Jing then chose the second box at random.
After this box was opened, the golden light emitted from it flashed Yang Jing's eyes again.
Gold!
To be exact, this chest is made of gold.
Golden Mask, Golden Scepter, Golden Spear, Golden Helmet These gold objects look very old, especially the two gold masks and the two gold scepters, which are full of typical ancient Egyptian style.
If these gold artifacts are genuine, then just taking them out can definitely shock the archaeological community around the world.
At present, when it comes to the ancient Egyptian gold mask, the first thing that comes to mind is the golden mask of Tutankhamun.
The golden mask was so famous that it became a representation of the ancient Egyptian golden mask.
In fact, there are several golden masks in this world, such as the golden masks in the Mayan culture of Central and South America.
But the real ancient Egyptian golden mask is only Tutankhamun's golden mask.
Of course, there may be ancient Egyptian gold masks hidden in the hands of collectors, but this is the only one that has been made public.
Therefore, the value of this golden mask is incalculable.
The two gold masks that suddenly appeared now are full of rich ancient Egyptian style, although they are not as delicate as Tutankhamun's gold masks, but they are definitely not bad in terms of size and appearance.
Coupled with those two delicate golden scepters, this constituted a pharaoh's essential "equipment" before entering the tomb.
Yang Jing didn't dare to determine the true identity of these two golden masks and golden scepters, but it didn't matter, we have identification skills, and this skill can do anything!
As soon as the results were identified, Yang Jing almost threw away the things in his hand.
It turned out to be the real thing!

"The Golden Mask, Amenhotep IV, 1347 BC."
"The Golden Scepter, Amenhotep IV, 1347 BC."
"The Golden Mask, Amenhotep III, 1362 BC."
"The Golden Scepter, Amenhotep III, 1362 BC."
As soon as these four results came out, there was no doubt that these two golden masks and golden scepters were indeed the burial objects of the two pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, and these gold products still came from the grandfather and son.
Amenhotep IV was the son of Amenhotep III, and the two sons were the ninth and tenth pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, respectively.
As for the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, he was the son of Amenhotep IV and the grandson of Amenhotep III No wonder the two golden masks in my hand are so similar in style to Tutankhamun's golden masks, people are simply in the same vein, okay?
This is my grandfather and son!
However, these two golden masks and golden scepters also made Yang Jing a little smacked.
When it comes to ancient Egyptian culture, we have to mention the famous Valley of the Kings.
This Valley of the Kings is not the Valley of Kings in California, USA, nor the Valley of Kings in Australia, but the Valley of Kings near Cairo.
This Valley of the Kings is definitely worthy of the word "emperor", because it is buried here with the tombs of more than sixty ancient Egyptian pharaohs from 1539 BC to 1075 BC.
Among them, Tutankhamun's father, Amenhotep IV, and grandfather, Amenhotep III, are buried here.
It's just that only one mausoleum is open to the public in this mausoleum complex, and the other mausoleums are still being excavated by the Egyptian government department.
But in fact, everyone knows that the tombs in the Valley of the Kings have long been stolen no longer known how many times.
Don't think that tomb robbing is only in China, in fact, tomb robbing is a common phenomenon all over the world.
Just like Egypt, after the Western colonizers smashed the country with guns, the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were completely destroyed.
Even the famous Pyramid of Khufu was smashed open, how could these mausoleums buried in the Valley of the Kings escape the hands of those Western colonizers and tomb robbers?
It's like the two golden masks and the two golden scepters that Yang Jing has found now, since they have been identified as genuine by the Holy Ring, there is no doubt that these things must be the burial goods stolen by tomb robbers from the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.
It's just that I don't know how it ended up in the hands of Gaddafi and his son.
But it's no wonder that when Gaddafi was in power, he was really rich, and he also liked to buy art in the Western world.
If you come across a gold mask and a golden scepter at an underground auction, Gaddafi's subordinates will definitely spend a lot of money on them.
But no matter how these two extremely precious golden masks and golden scepters ended up in the hands of Gaddafi and his son, they are all cheap now!
If you don't say it, pack it and take it away!
If this extremely precious thing were placed here, it would be a terrible thing.
They should be placed in bulletproof glass cases for the whole world to enjoy.
The next box is filled with the finest black opals from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia.
This precious gemstone, known all over the world as "opal", has two chests, all of which are the finest black opal gemstones, which contain a rich natural treasure.
Good stuff, take it!
Of the remaining fourteen chests, two chests contain a chest full of the finest Sri Lankan star sapphires, and the other box contains rubies from the Mogok region of Myanmar.
Like this kind of ruby sapphire, there are many treasures of Mu Tianbo found in Myanmar last time, but there are many fewer than these.
This thing is good, not only is it valuable, but the most important thing is that it can provide plenty of natural treasures.
Moreover, the natural treasure contained in this precious gem is also absorbed very quickly, far stronger than absorbing the natural treasure in the oil field.
If you want to rely on the natural treasure gas in the oil field to fill the natural treasure gas pool, it will take at least seven or eight hours.
And replenish with this precious gemstone, in minutes!
It's fast!
