Compared with the platform outside, this secret passage connecting the Golden City to the outside world is like a castle standing in the storm, shielding everyone from the continuous downpour.
With the help of numerous exhaust equipment and dehumidification equipment, it is relatively dry here, unlike outside where everything is soaked in rainwater.
The gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts excavated and cleared from the Golden City of the Mayan Empire were not moved into this secret passage, so the space here was not squeezed.
Not only that, the gold statues, stone tablets, other antiques and gold and silver treasures that were originally in this secret passage have been packed and transported out of this secret passage and placed in the Golden City.
Of course, the statues and antique artifacts carved inside the mountain or on stalactites and integrated with the cave were not forcibly removed and remained in place, such as the sun **** above the entrance to the secret passage. Avatar and so on.
The reason for this is to maintain the original appearance of this secret road as much as possible and save some resources for future tourism development.
This is the unanimous request of the Honduran government, local Mayan tribes, the Columbia University archaeological team, and UNESCO.
Ye Tian did not raise any objection to this request, and he did not want to clean this place completely. That would be a bit too extreme!
However, the gold and various gemstones used to decorate these statues and antique artifacts were all cut off or pried off, and not a single bit was left.
When developing tourism in the future, we only need to package these statues and antique cultural relics, restore them to their original appearance, and put in some replicas of the antique cultural relics and statues that were transported away, so that this secret passage can be restored to its original state.
In this way, those who come for the treasures of the Golden City will not wantonly destroy and loot here after knowing the situation here.
Even if they try to get rid of the remaining statues and antique artifacts, because these Mayan antique artifacts and statues have been registered, they cannot be traded and circulated in the antique art market.
Ye Tian, who walked into the secret passage again, took a general look at the situation in the secret passage, then came to the long table that Jason and the others had already arranged, and sat down on one side of the table.
At the same time, Hondurans represented by Hierro and Hernando, Professors Delgado and Douglass representing Columbia University, as well as representatives from UNESCO and the U.S. Embassy who supervised the site, Everyone sat down one after another.
On the wall on one side of this temporary conference room, there is a white projection screen hanging. The President of Honduras and the Speaker of the Parliament have also appeared on the projection screen, remotely participating in this meeting to carve up the treasures of the Golden City.
After everyone sat down and chatted for a few words, Ye Tian got to the point.
“Gentlemen, let’s discuss the value of the treasures of the Golden City that have been excavated and cleared, see how much the gold and silver treasures and Mayan antiques are worth, and then distribute them.
It is obviously unrealistic and unnecessary to move the gold, silver, treasures and antiques that have been packed into boxes into this secret passage for appraisal and evaluation. It would be too time-consuming.
I think I have a relatively good understanding of the situation in the Golden City, especially the important Mayan antiques above the surface, and I know their value, so we will start our evaluation from here.
After evaluating the important and relatively large Mayan antiques that I have seen before, we will go outside, open those boxes, and evaluate the treasures that I have not seen before.
What are contained in those boxes outside are all registered, and there is video data. The three parties of the joint exploration team have a list in hand, and they can conduct identification and evaluation based on the list.”
“Yes, Steven, we all have a list in hand. When the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics excavated and cleared were packed into boxes, personnel from the three parties were on site to supervise each other.
When appraising gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics packed in boxes, you do not need to take out every item for appraisal. You can evaluate them as a whole, which can save a lot of time.”
Hernando continued and introduced the situation.
Ye Tian nodded slightly and then continued:
“After we entered the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, apart from the antique relics found in this secret passage, the earliest important antique relic discovered was the golden temple of the second Mayan protoss, the Camempes Protoss.
In the Golden Temple of the Camempus Protoss, the most valuable items are the golden statue of the main **** Camempus, as well as the golden statues of the wrathful **** Rao and the wise **** Skel. These three statues are all top antique cultural relics.
Hierro, Hernando, your Honduran experts and scholars have already made a preliminary assessment. I would like to know how much you value these three gold statues of the Maya Kamenpus. ”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at Hernando and the other Honduran representatives, including the President and Speaker of Honduras on the projection screen.
Hernando and the Honduran representatives exchanged looks and whispered a few words. Then Hernando opened the notebook at hand, looked at Ye Tian and said loudly:
“Steven, you are right. The golden temple of the Maya Kamenpus Protoss, the three golden statues, and other ancillary items are all rare and top-notch antiques.
It is understood that the Golden Temple of Camempos and the golden statues are the most complete and important antique artifacts of the second Mayan God Tribe in existence, and have great historical and cultural research value…”
After some introduction, Hernando reported the valuation of the Golden Temple of the Camempes God Clan, as well as the three gold statues and other ancillary antique artifacts.
With his words, the scene immediately became lively, and discussions started.
As for the valuation of these Mayan antiques, everyone has different opinions because of their different positions. Some people think that the valuation is too high, while others think that the valuation is too low, which is unreasonable!
When Hernando finished speaking, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at Ye Tian to see how he would respond.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then joked loudly:
“Hernando, when you Honduran experts and scholars evaluated these Mayan antiques, you seemed to have forgotten one thing. These Mayan antiques are not entirely made of gold.
During previous explorations, everyone had already discovered that the golden temple of the Camemps God Clan was only covered with a thick layer of gold for decoration, but underneath those gold panels were rocks!
Only the three golden statues of the Kamemps God Clan are entirely made of gold. Another thing is that your experts and scholars seem to be too optimistic about the current antique art market! ”
“Hahaha”
There was a burst of laughter, and David and Professor Delgado all laughed.
The faces of Hernando and the other Honduran representatives sitting opposite, as well as the President and Speaker of Honduras on the projection screen, all changed, and their expressions were somewhat embarrassing!
Obviously, the valuations given by Honduran experts and scholars far exceed the actual value of these Mayan antiques.
They knew that these priceless Mayan antiques would eventually fall into Ye Tian’s hands. For the benefit of Honduras, they could only try to overestimate the value of these antiques.
In this way, when distributing the treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, Honduras can leave more gold and silver treasures and obtain greater benefits!
Ye Tian naturally understood the wishful thinking of the Hondurans, as did everyone else at the scene.
But this is understandable. After all, those experts and scholars are Hondurans, so of course they cannot turn their elbows outward!
After pondering for a moment, Hernando looked at Ye Tian and said:
“Stephen, let’s not talk about whether the valuation we gave is accurate. Let’s talk about the valuation you gave for the antique artifacts in the Golden Temple of the Maya Kamenpus God Clan. We are all ears.
If there is indeed a big gap between the valuations given by both of us, then we can discuss it again, hoping to reach an agreement and get an accurate valuation that both parties agree on!
If the differences are large and we cannot reach an agreement, then as you said before, we will temporarily put these antiques aside and we will continue to identify the others.”
“That’s okay, Hernando, I believe we can reach an agreement, and I can promise you that within half a year after the distribution of the Golden City treasures is completed, you can raise objections to the completed transaction!
The objection mentioned here specifically refers to the valuation of the transaction target. In other words, you are allowed to regret it within half a year, as long as you can come up with a more reasonable valuation. This point will be reflected in the transaction agreement. ”
Ye Tian continued with a smile and extended an olive branch to show his sincerity.
Hearing his confident promise, everyone at the scene couldn’t help but nodded, including the Hondurans, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Next, Ye Tian reported the valuation of the antique cultural relics in the Golden Temple of the Maya Kamenpus Protoss.
