Chapter 2725: Edict of Milan

"Treasure Hunt ( to find the latest chapters!
"In the middle of the fifteenth century, the famous humanist scholar Vala published "Distinguish the Falsehood Given by Constantine". Based on the Bible and historical documents, it comprehensively and systematically explained Constantine from the aspects of grammar and old system. The gift is forged.
This statement has been supported by many humanist scholars and Protestant sects, as well as some secular countries, and has become the basis for the Protestant sects to attack the Holy See in the Reformation Movement, and has aroused the suspicion of Western scholars on the Holy See.
Under tremendous pressure, the Holy See was finally forced to admit that Constantine's gift was forged! However, Wala did not mention this stone monument inscribed with the'Gift of Constantine' in the article, perhaps he did not know the existence of this stone monument.
The fact that Pope Julius II concealed the material evidence and related documents related to the'Gift of Constantine' was not mentioned in any known documents, and no one knew that there was such a piece. Significant stele! "
Just as Ye Tian said this, a small beetle suddenly flew into this basement, and then along the corner of the wall, clinging to the ground, flew silently into the secret passage leading directly to the depths of the underground.
Seeing this scene, a smile flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, which was fleeting and no one noticed it.
As his voice fell, the scene fell silent again.
Everyone was silent, they were all digesting his words quickly, and also digesting this earth-shattering major discovery, and secretly making various trade-offs and thinking.
After a while, Ye Tian broke the silence.
"Gentlemen, after introducing the stone tablet with the'Gift of Constantine', let me introduce the larger stone tablet at the back.
Due to the distance and light, coupled with the dust and moss on the stone tablet, most of the words carved on that stone tablet are hard to read.
However, the ancient Latin engraved on the top of the stone tablet is vaguely recognizable due to the relatively large font, and I happen to know it.
Not only me, I believe many people here recognize that line of text, that line of ancient Latin means the famous "Milan Edict""
Before the voice was over, the scene suddenly boiled.
Even though many people here have recognized that line of ancient Latin, they were still shocked when they heard Ye Tian personally say it!
But they didn't know the ancient Latin David and they were undoubtedly more shocked, so that they directly exclaimed.
"What? A stele engraved with the edict of Milan, I heard it right?"
"God! If that is really a Milan edict, then there is no doubt that the stone tablet is definitely a heavyweight religious sacred object!"
Before the exclamation of David and the others fell, the bishop of Kent had already given a definite answer.
"You’re right, Steven, the large stone tablet is indeed engraved with the ancient Latin text of the Milanese edict. If the specific content of the Milan edict is engraved on the stone, it’s a very good thing. A significant religious sacred object!"
When the Bishop of Kent said this, his excited voice was trembling, his eyes shone straight.
It's not him, everyone on the scene except Ye Tian, ​​why not be like this, everyone here is excited and proud!
What the Milan edict means, they have been educated in the West since they were young, and they know nothing more!
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then said loudly:
"If there are still doubts about the'Gift of Constantine', the Edict of Milan is an undisputed historical fact. It is not only a major historical event in Western history, but also a milestone in the history of the development of Christianity.
The Edict of Milan was issued in 313 AD. It was issued by Augustus Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire, and the emperor of Eastern Rome, Li Xini. They met in Milan and issued this famous edict together. .
This edict jointly issued by the two emperors of Rome and the east and west declared the legitimacy of Christianity. The edict of Milan later became the basic law in the Roman world. Since then, the development of Christianity has changed from underground to above ground.
The Edict of Milan officially recognized that Christians have the same freedom of belief as other pagans, and returned their confiscated churches and church properties, and exempted Christian monks from their obligations to the state.
It also stipulates that the bishop has the right to try church cases. Since then, Christianity has become the legal religion of the Roman Empire and the spiritual pillar of the state power. Constantine who issued this edict became a Christian saint!
In 380 AD, Roman Emperor Theodosius I officially issued an edict declaring Christianity as the state religion of Rome, and at the same time ‘banning all pagan and superstition activities’, and Christianity gradually developed into the only orthodox religion in the Roman Mediterranean.
The official announcement of the Edict of Milan has made the status of Christianity unshakable in the West, and has begun an era of in the history of Western culture. To Christianity and the Western world, how important the Edict of Milan is cannot be overstated!
By extension, this stone monument engraved with the edict of Milan will cause a huge sensation when it is born. If this stone monument comes from 313 AD and was carved by Constantine the Great, then it is Religious artifacts!
As far as the importance of the edict of Milan to the development of Christianity is concerned, this stone stele with the edict of Milan is by no means comparable to ordinary religious relics. It can be regarded as the top Christian holy relic and is estimated to be one level lower than the Holy Grail. Right!
As the person who discovered this underground space and discovered this'Milan Edict' stone stele, I feel very honored, but it is a bit of a trick to introduce the Milan Edict. It is best to let the Bishop of Kent introduce it to you. "
Having said that, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and gestured to the Bishop of Kent, and asked the Bishop of Kent to introduce the contents of the Edict of Milan.
The Bishop of Kent did not refuse. He calmed down his excitement first, and then began to introduce the Milan Edict and its related history and stories.
Ye Tian walked up to Ian and told them to turn off most of the high-definition cameras carried on the two small drones, leaving only one camera facing the ground, and continued to hover in the original position to provide lighting for the Beetle drone.
In this way, they can provide lighting without worrying about exposing the existence of beetle drones.
A few minutes later, after the bishop of Kent had roughly introduced the Milan edict, Ye Tian called them over to continue to witness the subsequent exploration process.
At this time, the beetle drone controlled by Matisse had flown into the secret room at the end of the secret tunnel and flew in front of the two stone tablets.
The footage captured by the Beetle drone is displayed on the IPAD screen held by Ye Tian, ​​which is fairly clear.
The words engraved on the top of the two stone tablets are also much clearer.
There is no doubt that the contents carved on the two large and small stone steles are the legendary and full of doubts "Gift of Constantine" and the actual "Milan Edict"!
"In order to ensure the unity and safety of the empire~EbookFREE.me~, there are many major issues that make us work day and night, but we still never forget,... God! This is really a landmark Milan edict in the history of Christianity!"
The bishop of Kent translated the ancient Latin on the monument of Milan's edict. Even though there are not many texts that can be read clearly and the translation is intermittent, it still makes him almost crazy!
Not only him, everyone on the scene except Ye Tian was already flushed with excitement at this time. Everyone held their heads with both hands and exclaimed in a low voice!
Unlike them, Ye Tian's eyes are now focused on a small screen in the upper right corner of the iPad.
That was a picture taken by a camera on the side of the Beetle drone. In that small picture, it was a seated marble statue of Constantine the Great.
And beside the seated statue of Constantine the Great, there seems to be a marble statue, which looks like the marble statue of another Roman emperor, Lisini, who jointly issued the edict of Milan!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy.
Just as he secretly cheered and celebrated, Walker's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Steven, the convoy of His Majesty the Pope, the convoy of the Italian Prime Minister, and the convoy of the U.S. ambassador are about to arrive on this street, and the street outside is completely boiling!"
Following Walker's words, everyone at the scene awoke, and immediately looked up at Ye Tian.
At this time, Ye Tian had a bright smile on his face!
It's time for negotiation! See who can stop the buddies from taking away those invaluable top antique cultural relics and works of art. It is mine and mine, and no one wants to take it away!
