Chapter eight hundred and forty eight unusual

Chen Wenzhe picked up a gold mask. The mask was very rough, but the two white eyes on it were very conspicuous.

Seeing these two white eyes, Chen Wenzhe felt very familiar.

He soon remembered that this golden mask seemed to come from South America, a place that now belongs to Peru.

The reason why I know this kind of white glasses and broad gold mask with a triangular nose is because Peru once recovered a pair of precious cultural relics that had been lost overseas for many years.

It was also a golden mask. The mask was discovered by archaeologists in northern Peru in 1991 and was about 1,000 years old. It was smuggled overseas in 1999.

Finally, after more than 20 years of judicial and diplomatic efforts, it finally returned to Peru and was presented to the public by the Presidential Palace.

That golden mask is a precious cultural heritage from the Xican culture period in Peru. Its history can be traced back to before Columbus discovered the American continent.

Needless to say, this mask must be from that period.

Therefore, these treasures are also a problem and can easily attract hyena bites.

However, if you encounter such a good thing, you still have to put it away, so what if it’s a little troublesome?

Looking at the golden mask in his hand with pleasure, it would be great if this thing could be put on display.

The Sican culture is one of the indigenous cultures of South America that lived on the northern coast of Peru from the 8th to the 14th century.

Peru is an ancient civilization in South America, and its territory is dotted with cultural sites.

In ancient times, masks were also called "mask masks" and were generally used as funerary objects.

In ancient civilizations, China, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and even Mayan culture all had similar customs.

However, there are very few gold masks that have been excavated and spread to the present day.

The earliest burial gold mask in my country was unearthed from the Shang Dynasty tombs in Chang'an.

These golden masks are obviously very precious.

Precious cultural relics cannot be placed randomly. What if they get crushed?

Put alone in a basket, Chen Wenzhe continued to explore the treasures in the cabin.

He took a step forward and accidentally kicked something away.

As the sand covering it dissipates, a golden color is revealed.

Chen Wenzhe leaned over and picked it up. It turned out to be a golden helmet?

No, it's still a gold mask, but this one has a much more complicated shape and is more exquisitely made.

When I looked at this golden mask suddenly, I thought it was a golden head, or a whole golden mask!

Exquisite eyebrows, there are triangular decorations at the eyes, there are also nose rings inside the nose, and there are also decorations hanging below the nose ring.

It seems that only the Mayan civilization can create such a complex shape in South America, right?

Needless to say, this is definitely a product of the Mayan civilization.

Holding the heavy golden mask, Chen Wenzhe carefully placed it in the hanging basket.

Next, Chen Wenzhe became a little numb, because he found another mask.

The shape of the mask discovered this time is also very simple, it is just a mask with a tiger pattern.

Like a tiger, it’s not a domestic tiger, it should be a jaguar!

After cleaning up the surroundings carefully, Chen Wenzhe found another silver flute. Of course, it was different from the domestic ones, because one end looked like a small trumpet.

A lot of good things were discovered in succession, and Chen Wenzhe took it seriously. This place should be a small treasure house.

Sure enough, after a little searching, he found another flute. This one had an even more peculiar shape. It actually looked like a little silver figure.

I have to say that the shape of this silver flute is really exquisite. Even if it is not made of gold, it is still valuable.

Afterwards, he discovered gold items such as a bird-shaped cane handle and a human-animal-shaped chest protector.

The largest piece is a gold statue, which should be a statue of a god. It is more than one meter high and is very heavy.

Fortunately, it was in the water, and fortunately this golden statue was not solid, otherwise Chen Wenzhe would not be able to move it.

Pieces of gold objects were discovered, and he put them into the hanging basket and slowly pulled them out of the water.

Once the captain's room is cleaned up, the gains in other areas will be small.

After scanning the surroundings, there should be nothing left, at least there should be no metal left.

If you want to find so many gains again, you should go to the bottom of the warehouse.

Slowly using the metal detector to explore, Chen Wenzhe finally came to the bottom of the ship. The place where the ballast stones were originally placed was now filled with gold.

Moreover, they are all fired and re-cast gold bricks, and the quantity is absolutely huge!

At this point, the work became a bit boring, because we could only mechanically pile bricks into the hanging basket.

If it weren't for the dazzling golden luster of the bricks on top, no one would be able to tell what it was.

However, after the upper layers of gold bricks were removed, there were no marine organisms attached to the lower gold bricks, which exposed the true nature of the gold bricks.

Money attracts people's hearts. Chen Wenzhe really doesn't know if moving so many gold bricks will cause internal conflict?

Of course, things went better than Chen Wenzhe thought, because the discipline of the group of people above was beyond imagination.

Although after being washed by the sea water, the gold bricks became golden, even dazzling!

However, the crew members were just looking at it, and they did not lose their composure, nor did they mean to take advantage of it!

At this time, even the most stupid person on the No. 1 ship already knew that the gondola that was constantly being transmitted up was filled with gold bricks.

Even though they had salvaged a lot of precious metals from sunken ships before, and they even saw some gold objects just now, the quantity of those things was too small to shock them.

Things are different at this time. Gold Brick is a hanging basket of upward movement.

You must know that each time a few hundred kilograms of gold bricks are hoisted up, this thing may look like a small piece, but it weighs fifty or sixty kilograms!

Also, these are gold bricks. Compared with the small gold bars they had seen before, the gold bricks are naturally more domineering and shocking.

The team members involved in the salvage all fell silent, and their expressions gradually became serious.

When salvaging sunken ships, shouldn’t the most common items be porcelain?

Compared to gold, porcelain seems a bit too rubbish.

At this time, most of them were already excited.

No matter who it is, at this time, they have already started to have doubts in their hearts, right?

What kind of treasure ship is the sunken ship discovered this time? It is definitely unusual.

Only treasure ships could transport such large quantities of precious metals.

In other words, if these things that have been salvaged now are known to others, it will probably shock the world immediately, right?

Thinking of this, the team members involved in the salvage finally understood why Chen Wenzhe was so cautious.

However, he is still not cautious enough!

Fortunately, they weren't cautious enough, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to capture this operation!

Needless to say, at the end of this operation, they will collectively perform meritorious service, at least a third-class meritorious service as a group, right?

No, now they can no longer make meritorious deeds collectively, the most they can do is share a large bonus!
