The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

It was soon determined that only one of the four "Golden Gospels" written during the ancient Roman period in the legendary collection of the Knights Templar was left, because soon after Jerry Goodencain found several strange shapes in the pit The thin gold inlaid edge strips of gold, and the thin and thin gold edge strips of different widths are also engraved with fine patterns.

This should be the border strips on the covers of the other three books. Judging by the patterns on the border strips, Jerry feels like the style of the ancient Roman period, which is different from the Crusades or the earlier Carolingian era.

The Carolingian era is the time when the "Golden Gospel" became popular again after the Roman period.

Carolingian, also translated as Carolingian, comes from a Latin word that means Charlie when it is replaced in English.

It was from the late 8th century to the 9th century in the Middle Ages. The whole of Europe was generally illiterate or semi-illiterate. Except for the priests, almost no one could read, and the level of the low-level priests was also very low and lacked education.

To put it bluntly, except for the priests, almost all of Europe is blind!

In order to change this situation, Charlemagne of the Carolingian dynasty of the Frankish Kingdom recruited outstanding scholars from Europe to the Frankish Kingdom to restore and build schools and libraries, forming a situation of Renaissance, known as "European". Awakening for the first time".

Because the demand for secretaries increased, the "Golden Gospel" appeared again at that time. As for the previous four hundred years, there were very few ordinary manuscript books, and the "Golden Gospel" was out of file.

By the way, there was no printing in Europe at that time, and all books were manuscripts.

At this point, Zhang Nan also came up with a bold guess-the four "Golden Gospels" should be the "original editions" preserved from the ancient Roman period, because the Carolingian Renaissance began in the 8th to 9th centuries. After that, the binding of the "Golden Gospel Book" became more and more luxurious. The most typical example is the "golden jewelry board" that Zhang Nan found in Kitzbuhel as the cover of the book.

Although ancient Rome was extravagant, it was not yet ready to turn books into jewelry boxes.

A very good discovery. So far in the world, in the standard sense of ancient Roman books, whether it is parchment or papyrus, there are very few fragments found in archaeology, but the whole book?

It's almost impossible like a fantasy!

Zhang Nan likes to be able to collect the only thing in the world, which feels good!

All the golden strips are also carefully collected. Jerry in this meeting is like the most professional archaeological staff. The cleaning speed is super slow, and Zhang Nan did not think he was too slow.

There is no shortage of treasures. Always be careful about things related to ancient knowledge.

And Zhang Nan has another idea, an idea that may be condemned by some cultural relics experts: copying several "Golden Gospel Books" with those golden borders, it is obviously better than looking at a few twisted borders. Pleasing to the eye a lot, at least for him.

Jerry carefully cleaned it up. Here, Zhang Nan looks at the rough jade stone, and uses a strong flashlight to illuminate the book shell. From certain angles, he can really vaguely see the inside of the book. It seems that he also used a layer of cloth to carry out the book. Pack it tightly, so that the possibility of keeping the book intact inside becomes greater.

Ask the butler Tom Jackson to call the United States. After returning to New York, Zhang Nan will see the operating equipment that can be filled with inert gas.

As for people who recognize ancient Latin, they also have to find an expert, because the ancient Romans wrote and spoke both Latin and Latin, but there was a certain difference between Latin at that time and modern Latin.

Besides, in modern society, this Latin is usually regarded as a dead language, and only a few Christian clergy and scholars can use it fluently.

Jerry had studied some Latin with Rick, but he was not proficient. It was okay to recognize the Latin words of "general routine" on ancient coins, and he was not able to read books fluently.

Fortunately, many universities in Western countries now offer courses on Latin. In the United States, there are talents who are familiar with Latin. It is more convenient that there are friends between Jerry and Rick.

It’s not difficult to find someone. It’s just a book. Give some money to sign a confidentiality agreement, and they can tell you what is written in the book-if the book is not damaged.

Of course, I don’t worry about it. This is the book. No matter how important the content is, it won’t cause much trouble to Zhang Nan.

There are seven crowns in the decayed wooden box, three of which are similar in style to Western European crowns of the same period, and the other four are very special with a strong Middle Eastern style.

But they should all be the crowns of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, because the ones with crosses on them are not from the Arab world.

The state of preservation is good or bad. The crown as simple as "a gold ring with gems" didn't even fall off the gems above it, but a few of them were almost fall apart!

No way, the original structure of those crowns should have a lot of fabric...

Watching Jerry operate carefully to avoid more damage to these half-spread crowns, Zhang Nan watched from the side and said: "Probably at that time, Jerusalemites would still decorate their crowns with silk, and they would not fall apart for a long time. That's strange.

The ancient Europeans liked silk too much. Caesar's purple silk robe made Rome go crazy. In the Crusade era, if a person in France wears a silk robe, he is a nobleman. "

Speaking of this, the curious Charlize Theron was shocked and asked: "Who said that?

the second half. "

She knew the story of Caesar, but hadn't heard of it in the second half.

Zhang Nan smiled and didn't answer. Did you tell her that it was a 15-year-old British guy named Orlando Bloom?

...

In just two days, the treasures on the top of the Chateau Mountain were cleared, and Zhang Nan was about to return to New York.

At this point, Ajani said something: Three French film companies jointly invited her to star in the French film "Queen Margot", which is the most expensive film in France.

She wants to act.

In fact, it is not just that she wants to act, it can be said that the entire French film industry hopes that Adjani will play the role of Queen Margot, the absolute number one protagonist of the film, because there is no other actress in France or even the world than her. That role is more suitable!

Zhang Nan can feel the heart of her own woman. She said that she has never watched the film she said, but she also knows that her French Rose won the Caesar Award for the fourth time by virtue of this Queen, and truly became the absolute number one. The status of the French national treasure actress has never been shaken!

"When will the shooting start?"

"Still in the preparation stage, it is estimated to be next year."

Adjani knew that her man should have agreed, but she still spoke a little cautiously.

She knew what her own man was, and when she was upset, she could poke a hole in the sky!

Zhang Nan smiled, seemingly very casual and said: "If you want to act, it means the producer, investor, director, and the guy who plays the king will have a headache."

It's a headache. He knows what Dexing is in European movies, and it's okay for his woman to act as a queen. She just wants to be happy.

but!

European male audiences don't want to see some scenes that Zhang Nan doesn't want to appear, and those French filmmakers must absolutely obey his will!

French filmmakers can not be the backstage boss of Columbia, but the movie is just a little toy of Mr. Allen, he is not a filmmaker at all!

If you are not a filmmaker, sometimes you don’t do things according to the rules of the movie circle~www.readwn.com~ Don’t touch the red line set by Mr. Allen, or even close!

Everyone has an army on the surface, and God knows what else is secretly. If you make him unhappy, from the boss of the film company to the director and actors, God knows what will happen.

The news circulated among the top Hollywood executives has also spread to Europe: Mr. Allen of Wall Street only talks about his own rules!

Just like this, Zhang Nan said to Adjani: "Tell your friends in France, if you don't have enough funds, you can vote for a little bit, but I feel that this kind of film will lose out in all likelihood.

Also, as long as we abide by our rules, everyone is happy. "

Adjani's big eyes flickered twice, and she smiled and said, "You are so domineering!"

"Yeah, that's it.

When making a movie, as long as it is still on this planet, then I have to abide by my rules! "
