    Han Kongque spread his hands, but he didn't know. After all, it was more than four hundred meters underground. Han Kongque's spiritual consciousness could not see the ground, so he had no idea where they were now.  However, based on various signs, it can be inferred that they should be at the bottom of a big mountain now, and this place must not be far from the real mausoleum.  Because the place they were digging at this time was no longer a passage, but looked like a large-scale collapsed cave.  Such a place may be a hollowed-out mountain or a natural cave. There are more treasures piled here, but most of the treasures inside are ancient coins.  "If we calculate based on the time when these wealth were robbed, we should not be far from Chengling now." Han Kongque finally said.  After all, Khwarizm was the country that was wiped out relatively early by the Mongols. According to the history of the rise of the Mongols, in the early days of their rise, they plundered the most wealth from Khwarizm, and then it was the turn of Syria, Iran, and Iraq.  Then came Russia and China.  "Then we will see that unlucky man's collection next?" Jin Yao said with a smile.  "They must still be the unlucky ones in those countries in the Middle East." Huang Shan said.  The golden demon said angrily: "Who doesn't know this?" "I'm afraid there won't be any unlucky people from the Middle East next, right? If they show up again, it might be our country." Mu Ling sighed.  You must know that the Song Dynasty was completely outplayed by Yuan Meng, so their second brother no longer had to laugh at his eldest brother.  "I'm afraid it's not the Song Dynasty, but the Jin Dynasty or Xixia." Han Peacock said with a smile.  "Then what we just encountered must be the treasure of Xixia. Didn't it mean that Temujin died in the hands of the queen of Xixia?" Huangshan said with a smile.  Thinking of how Temujin died, Han Peacock and Jin Yao also laughed, which made Mu Ling roll his eyes.  "Huh? Boss, what do you think this is? Why does it look like a key?" At this moment, Mu Ling made a new discovery.  "Golden key? Such a thing is not uncommon. The Mongolians only have so much success. They only know gold." Huang Shan said.  "No, this is not a golden key, but an iron one. It's not just one. Let me see how many there are." After saying that, Mu Ling dug hard. In just a moment, she dug out a lot of key-shaped keys.  thing. ?? Han Peacock took a key and looked at it carefully. It was an ancient Arabic key made of iron that was more than thirty centimeters long.  "Why are there so many? And they are all the same?" Huangshan picked up a key and looked at it strangely.  Jin Yao also took one. He compared it several times and found that the keys were exactly the same.  "What kind of lock comes with so many keys?" Jin Yao asked doubtfully.  Han Peacock¡¯s face showed surprise at this time. He thought about what this kind of key was used for. So many identical keys are still very famous in history.  "Does the boss know what key this is?" Mu Ling asked immediately after seeing the surprise on Han Peacock's face.  "I have seen such a key, it is a picture, it seems to be displayed by the auction house, by the way, this is the Kaaba *** antique key, it seems that the one at that time was sold for 19.1 million US dollars  The sky-high price. "The key that Han Peacock picked up is a precious cultural relic of the world. The key was used by the Kaaba eight hundred years ago. It appeared on the London auction market and was finally sold for one thousand.  It was sold for US$8 million, making it the most valuable cultural relic in the world.  Starting from the lowest price, it was raised 18 times in a row, and finally sold for 9.2 million pounds (equivalent to 18.1 million U.S. dollars). The person who bought it at the time did not want to be named, so no one knew who had it in the end.  That key is an antiquities belonging to a private collector in Lebanon. It is an ancient key from the 12th century AD and is used in the door lock of the Kaaba Temple in the holy city of Mecca.  The key was originally engraved with the name and age of the owner. "This is a key made specifically for the Kaaba of Allah. Our governor is the son of the Great Imam, Muktati Abu Jafar Abbas, who was at the time.  (Hijri Calendar) 573. "The instructions of the public auction company read, "This key is of great historical significance and represents the authority of the Abbasid Dynasty at that time."  The capital of the dynasty is today's Baghdad, and it rules a huge empire spanning three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. The key to the Kaaba must be personally authorized by the dynasty leader, the Caliph, to the Kaaba administrator.  ?According to ** cultural relics data, a total of fifty-eight keys of the Kaaba were lost.  The one auctioned is the first treasure in a private collection. The others are mostly collected by museums in Europe and the Middle East, such as Istanbul, Cairo, and Paris museums.    It is unusual because it is not an ordinary key, but the key to the door of the Kaaba in the Holy City.  According to expert discussions, the Kaaba is the earliest human building on earth. Some say that the builder was an angel sent by Allah, while others believe that it was Adam, the first ancestor on earth. According to the revelation of Allah, the whole world  People must use the Kaaba as the direction of worship to show that people are united and face the unique God.  In recent years, the loss of cultural relics has been very serious, so demand has been stimulated and prices have begun to skyrocket.  ??The turnover of cultural relics has exceeded 30 million pounds in the past few years, and this ancient Kaaba key has reached its highest value.  There used to be a grouper-shaped copper pipe from Spain's 10th-century palace fountain, which was sold for 3.6 million pounds in 1997 by Christie's Auction Company in London.  "Recently, ** cultural relics seem to be very popular in the international market." Huang Shan looked at the iron key in his hand. He really couldn't imagine that this thing was actually worth 20 million US dollars.  "This is all driven by market stimulation. Only cultural relics worth speculating on and possessing a certain number of cultural relics are worthy of speculation by some international speculators." Han Kongque understood this very clearly.  ¡°I wonder what will happen if these treasures we discovered are put into the market?¡± Jin Yao said with a smile.  Han Kongque shook his head and said: "Now is not a good time. Although ** antiques are very popular in the market now, they were quarreled on the basis of low prices at that time. If our treasures enter the market,  Then we should wait until countries such as Syria, Iran, and Iraq regain stability. That will be the time when their true prices will be reflected. "I am afraid that international speculators will stop speculating by then."  "Don't worry, antiques are not disposable consumables. The longer you keep such things, the longer they last." Han Kongque said.  "So, we still have to thank those who are hyping up?" Jin Yao said.  Han Peacock laughed and said: "They are all living Lei Feng, we don't need to thank them." Among the international speculators, they are mainly from the Western camp, and the United States and the British are the main ones, because they have gold in their hands.  ****Most antiques.  Of course, if Korean Peacock also participates in this market now, then Korean Peacock will definitely have more treasures than them, and the market will not be repeated.  "These things in Han Peacock's hands are small in size, high in value, and more commemorative. They are not comparable to the antiques coming out of the world today.  ¡°There are many people in the world who are dumping cultural relics from Japan, and there are also some evil scum among them, such as the Islamic State.  This is a terrorist organization that grew up through business. This radical terrorist team is the richest terrorist organization in the world. Those who have seen the weird propaganda video of this organization may have noticed that its members,  A brand new 4x4 formation to drive.  But where do their money come from?  Some analysts believe that the funds come from donations, smuggling of oil (1.645 million harvested every day), kidnapping (at least 20 million harvested last year), illegal transactions, extortion, robbery, and finally a very important source of income-antiquities trading.  This is a very lucrative source of income. For example, items stolen from al-nabuk in western Damascus were reportedly sold for 36 million.  The Islamic State operates in areas with the richest archaeological resources in the world, which are the cradle of civilization.  When the ancient ruins of Nimwood, Nineveh and Hatra were destroyed, a number of cultural relics appeared on the black market, and people suspected that these items came from the above-mentioned ruins.  The Islamic State either uses so-called ¡°bulldozing archaeology¡± (using extremely destructive equipment to excavate sites) or hires locals to dig out sites or tombs.  ?Then this organization began to collect taxes that were recognized by the Islamic teachings. The taxes were determined based on the value of the treasures.  No one knew what was dug out of the ground, and it would be impossible to identify the loot later.  Don¡¯t be fooled by the video of Islamic State destroying statues of the ancient Assyrian kingdom in a Mosul museum and thinking these sculptures are useless statues of gods.  ¡°Islamic State may have damaged the appearance of significant monuments, but that was only because the items were too heavy to sell, and now there is evidence that they are selling items that are easier to move.  There are also claims that the statues in the museum are plaster replicas, because after seeing this video, the then director of the Iraqi National Cultural Heritage Administration said: "None of these things are real." The ones that were destroyed there are not real.  , then the destroyed cultural relics there are real, because from Iraq??More antiques are leaking out.  Now, more and more companies are trying to find stolen art, which are real bloody antiques. Antiques are not easy to find compared to blood diamonds (the African diamond trade is cruel and bloody, so they are called blood diamonds).  shipping, so they are more valuable.  There are numerous reports that antiques from Syria and Iraq are circulating on a large scale on the European black market.  (~^~)
