Chapter 1498: Cat **** worship

"How is it possible? The golden mask of the cat Best, I heard it right?"
In the exclamation, many professionals in the field of Egyptian antique art rushed to the TV or computer screen, one by one, their eyes widened, staring at the golden mask in Ye Tian's hand, almost crazy!
At the same time, in the Forbidden City, in the Louvre, in the British Museum, in the Metropolitan Museum, and other world-famous museums, the same scene was staged.
The cat face golden mask in Ye Tian's hand and the words he said have caused a huge sensation in the world of antique art collections, leaving everyone stunned!
In this case, Ye Tian had already expected that the moment the golden cat face mask was taken out of the red sandalwood box, this would inevitably happen.
After carefully admiring the cat face golden mask in his hand, Ye Tian began to introduce this top antique artwork in the eyes of countless eagerly anticipating eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I just said that this is from ancient Egypt 2,600 years ago, is the golden mask of the cat Best, of course there is a certain basis, not nonsense!
As you can see, this cat face mask is made of high-purity gold, which has very obvious characteristics of ancient Egyptian culture, and the golden mask is embedded with various gems and stained glass!
If you are familiar with the treasure of the National Museum of Egypt and the national treasure of Egypt, the golden mask of Tutankhamun, then you will find that these two sides have many similarities!
Their production process is almost the same, both are very exquisite and charming. Of course, the golden mask of the cat Best is far from comparable to the golden mask of Tutankhamun.
Let's talk about the shape of this cat mask. It was created based on the slim and tall Egyptian cat. The eyes are clever and seem to be looking around, and they are somewhat mysterious.
On the top of this golden cat face mask, there is a scarab beetle carved, and a beautiful gold earring is worn on the left ear. These are the characteristics of the cat Best!
If you have an understanding of ancient Egyptian culture, you will know that scarabs and gold earrings symbolize the protective power of Goddess Best, which is the most powerful identification basis!
As for the birth of this cat face golden mask, as I said earlier, it came from the middle and late 26th dynasty of ancient Egypt, which is 2600 years ago, with a very long history!
As a well-known top antique art appraisal expert, I am extremely confident in my ability to judge the age of antique art, and there is absolutely no possibility of any mistake in this regard!
Therefore, I can say with certainty that the golden mask of the cat Best is definitely an invaluable national treasure antique artwork, perhaps the most valuable treasure in this sunken treasure!
Matisse, push the searchlight closer, so that those professionals who are watching this live broadcast will appreciate this national treasure-class antique artwork. I believe they will find something! "
"No problem, Steven"
Matisse nodded in response, and then swam to the side of Ye Tian, ​​shining the searchlight in his hand directly at the golden mask of the cat Best!
The live broadcast screen suddenly brightened and became clearer!
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Almost everyone was amazed again, those professionals were even more exaggerated, and instantly fell into a state of ecstasy.
As Ye Tian slowly turned his right hand, more details of the cat Best's golden mask were presented on the live broadcast screen, before everyone's eyes!
In just a few moments, those professionals in the field of antique art collection on the live broadcast have determined that the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian is accurate and beyond doubt!
This is the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat Best. It is an invaluable national treasure antique art. No matter which museum it is placed in, it is the treasure of the town hall!
After confirming this, the field of antique art suddenly became more lively. Everyone was like a chicken blood, and they were discussing with excitement. The focus was naturally this golden mask of the cat god!
Many professionals in Egypt are even more excited, almost crazy!
The eyes of these guys turned red in an instant, one by one, wishing to rush to the bottom of the English Channel immediately, grabbed the cat golden mask from Ye Tian, ​​and took it as his own!
But they also know that this is impossible.
Don't pay a huge price, don't even want to get the golden mask of the cat from Steven's greedy bastard! That is a master who never loses, and has never done a loss-making business!
It's almost impossible to claim the golden mask of the cat to the guy Steven. The poor Spaniard is a lesson for the past. Are they going to return a gold coin?
It would be the most stupid idea to ransack the guy Steven and take back the golden mask of the cat god.
There was only one result of doing that. Not only could he not get the golden mask of the cat god, but he would probably have many lives on his side, and incurred revenge from that Steven!
Who doesn't know, that's a who has no taboos and must be reported. Killing is the same as slaughtering a chicken. Only when you are tired of life can you provoke that crazy bastard!
Thinking of these, many Egyptians couldn't help having a headache, and for a while, they couldn't think of any feasible way!
After showing the cat Best Golden Mask over and over again, Ye Tian was ready to put away the mask, and then continue to explore the other things in the wooden crate.
At this moment, Chandler's excited voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, can you evaluate the value of this golden mask of the cat Best? How valuable is this ancient Egyptian relic? I think everyone is very interested.
In addition, can you introduce the cat Best and the reason for the birth of this golden mask? Everyone does not understand this knowledge, and I really want to know! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped what he was doing.
After pondering for a while, he smiled and said:
"As for the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat Best, I can't give an accurate estimate, because this top antique artwork is priceless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is invaluable.
Here, I can introduce to you the worship of cat in ancient Egypt and the possible reason for the birth of this cat Best Golden Mask, so that you can understand some related knowledge"
"That's great, Steven, let's listen carefully!"
Chandler responded, still very excited.
The countless live broadcasts suddenly became quiet. Everyone wanted Ye Tian's explanation. That must be very interesting.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"You may have heard that cats living in ancient Egypt are the happiest cats in the world. They are carefree, enjoy good food, and can enjoy the same treatment as a god!
Imagine living in such a place and era, where threats are lurking in every corner of the home. Venomous snakes hide in jars, rats hide in barns, and scorpions are under their cradles.
This time and place was ancient Egypt, when people were surrounded by dangers, but there was an animal that could make people's living environment safer, and it was a cat.
It is precisely because of the help provided to people in life, coupled with the ancient Egyptian foreign worship tradition, slowly, ancient Egypt developed the cat worship, everything is logical!
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the sun once became a cat and defeated Apophis, the giant python that prevented the sun from rising to the west. Because of this, the ancient Egyptians regarded cats as the incarnation of gods.
As early as the second dynasty of Egypt, around 2890 BC, the worship of the cat Best appeared in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. She was once the war goddess of Lower Egypt.
After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the priesthood of the cat Best changed gradually from the of war to the patron saint of the family, symbolizing the warmth and joy of the family, and was widely loved by ancient Egyptians.
At the same time, the image of the cat Best has also changed, mainly appearing in the image of a cat face and a woman body. Regarding this, you can see from this mask, it is a bit charming and enchanting!
During the period of Greek rule, the priesthood of the cat Best changed again and transformed into a representing the moon. He was as famous as the hunting Artemis and was also revered.
Later, during the rule of the Roman Empire, especially with the rise of Christianity, the ancient Egyptians’ tradition of worshiping foreign gods gradually fell into oblivion and disappeared in the long river of history.
In the history of ancient Egypt, people not only kept cats, loved cats, but also buried them, giving them the greatest honor after death, making them mummies and statues.
The Brooklyn Museum in New York has a large collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, many of which are collections of cats, mummies and statues, which reflect the cat worship of the ancient Egyptians.
In addition, in the British Museum, we can also see a lot of cat mummies and various cat statues. The most famous one is the bronze statue of the cat Best!
The statue of the cat Best is fairly common. There are statues from various periods in ancient Egypt, but as far as I know, the golden mask of the cat Best is the only one in front of you!
Due to the limited time ~EbookFREE.me~ about the worship of cat gods in ancient Egypt, I will talk so much. If you want to learn more about it, you can go online or go to the library to check and learn!
Well, we are going to continue our exploration. After the golden mask of the cat Best, I believe there are more surprises waiting for us, and I also look forward to discovering miracles again! "
After speaking, Ye Tian put the cat golden mask in his hand into the red sandalwood box, and then put the red sandalwood box into a sealed bag and tied it to himself.
Like the previous golden crown, he is going to bring this cat golden mask personally to Shanghai and then back to New York!
He had just packed the golden mask of the cat Best, Raymond could not wait to reach out and lift the statue from the wooden crate.
As soon as the statue appeared, there was an exclamation on the live broadcast.
"My goodness! It's actually a golden statue of the cat Best, is it possible that this box is full of gold products about the cat Best? It's just too exaggerated!"
