426 A.D., Olympia.

"Chief priest, chief priest is not good!" A young man of about 15 years old, with slightly curly brown hair and a young face, hurried into the temple.

"Dipandos, didn't you tell you many times that you had to be quiet in the temple, why were you panicking?"

The chief priest muttered discontentedly, the old man was standing in front of the statue of Zeus, compared to eight hundred years ago, the idol was no longer ornate, and most of the gold and ivory on the surface had been peeled off, revealing a mottled wood.

Originally, this idol held the goddess of victory in his left hand and a golden scepter in his right, but now, two items are missing.

Like the deserted temple, the idol of Zeus is full of loneliness and dilapidation.

A deity, with the rise of Rome in the West with the power and invasion of Rome, whether it is the Greek gods of Olympus or the Norse gods of Asgard on the World Tree, have lost their brilliance in the presence of this deity, and after Emperor Dulu I abolished "sports competitions" 33 years ago, Olympia and the temples here have become very desolate.

Only the chief priest and a few priests remained.

"Emperor Valentinian, issued an order for the destruction of pagan temples!"

"What!"

Hearing the young man's words, the chief priest's body shook, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground, he pressed his hand on the altar beside him to support it, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said true?" Where did you hear about it? ”

"The order from Metiolanu was given by the Emperor and the Pope himself!"

The chief priest, the gray-haired old man, tears flowed from his eyes in an instant, and the old tears were full of tears: "I expected this day to come for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...... Yes, Greece has long since perished, how long can it exist here? ”

"Great Zeus, why did Greece suffer such doom? Why is it so hard to preserve even your temple? Could it be that the gods of Olympus have fallen? ”

Muddy tears flowed from his face, the chief priest lay at the feet of the 13-meter-tall idol, his whole body was convulsing in pain, he stroked the cold ebony, his face suddenly showed a resoluteness, he stood up, picked up a torch from the altar next to him, and threw it on the idol.

"Chief priest?"

The young man Dipandos looked at the old man in surprise.

"Even if the idol of Zeus is ultimately destroyed, it cannot be destroyed in the hands of pagans!"

"Depandos."

The chief priest grabbed the young man's arm.

"I have a mission for you! The statue of Zeus is too large to be moved, but there is still a precious statue in this temple...... It is the work of the great sculptor Alexandros, who took 16 years to complete. ”

The idol began to burn, the fire shone on the chief priest, and the old man's eyes sparkled.

"The image of Yanluo! In the Age of Black Iron, the only demigod hero born in the mortal world, although his deeds are now almost lost in history, I, the chief priest of Zeus, know! He fought in Athens and won six gold medals at the Olympic Games! ”

He killed the king of Sparta, thus allowing the glory of Athens to continue. You take the statue of Yanra, take it with you, and get out of here! ”

"Chief priest, but ......" the young man's face was full of hesitation.

"No, but!" The chief priest's withered hands seemed to carry infinite strength, which was not like the strength that an old man could have, and the young man was caught in pain but did not dare to break free.

"With your life, you must keep the image of Yanra so that it will not be destroyed in anyone's hands! You were once an abandoned orphan, and now I am not speaking to you as a chief priest, but as a father who raised you. ”

Looking at this face full of wrinkles and tears, with a hint of pleading, the young Dipandos finally nodded: "Yes!" Chief Priests! ”

Receiving his reply, the chief priest finally burst out laughing, and in the midst of the laughter he threw himself into the burning statue of Zeus, the rising flames: "In this case, I can also rest assured, accompany this temple, accompany the god-king Zeus, and destroy the ...... together."

"Remember, we are descendants of the Greeks, and from this day on, Greek civilization ...... Completely cut off! ”

Half a century has passed......

The once immature boy became a dying old man, and he called his son to him: "I'm going to die...... Over the years, I have successfully fulfilled the tasks assigned to me by the old chief priests...... Even if new religions and gods ruled the continent and countless idols were destroyed, I kept the statue of Yanluo in crisis after crisis. ”

"Therefore, my life has no regrets."

"Now I will give you this task, son, you are a descendant of the Greeks, and now you swear with your life that you will protect this statue even if you die......"

Depandos's gaze was fixed on the two-meter-high white marble statue beside him: "This is the last testimony of our great civilization in Greece." ”

His son Talos guarded the statue of Yanluo for 20 years, passed it on to his grandson Azucris, and thus passed through 14 generations, because of the war the blood of Depandos was severed, and the widow of his last descendant hid the statue that had been guarded for hundreds of years in a small cave on the island of Milo.

2018/X/X/X

France, Paris, on the north bank of the Seine

Louvre Museum

A tour group from China, most of whom are young, only about 20 years old, is visiting the museum with a professor from a university who is in fact a professor from a university who has a collection of 400,000 pieces in Paris.

"Below, we will see the Louvre, the most precious treasure...... One of the greatest treasures in the world! ”

"Do you know what I'm referring to?" The female guide asked.

"Of course I do."

One student rolled his eyes: "Who doesn't know the famous Three Treasures of the Louvre: the Statue of Victory, the smile of the Mona Lisa, and the Yanluo with the broken arm?" ”

While speaking, the tour guide led the students into the Ancient Greek Pavilion, and suddenly a white marble statue about 2 meters high appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

"It's a jewel of art."

"It's beautiful!"

A student expressed his admiration, while the tour guide introduced the history and allusions of the statue.

"Yanluo, this is said to be a demigod hero of ancient Greece, but that era is a long time ago, so we don't know much about the deeds of this hero, it seems that he won many championships in the ancient Olympic Games, and he threw the discus throw at the games, and the king of Sparta was stoned to death by throwing the discus at the games...... At that time, the war between Athens and Sparta was on the verge of breaking out, which can be said to be the greatest discus throw in history! so that civilization and democracy have not been replaced by barbarism and power. ”

The female tour guide looked around and saw the students, all of them were full of excitement, she smiled and continued:

In 1820, a farmer on the island of Milo in the Aegean Sea, Greece, found a small cave while digging in the soil, and the statue was in the cave, but at that time, the statue was still intact."

"The statue unearthed at that time caused several forces to scramble, Greek officials, the French ambassador, the British consulate...... In order to fight for the statue, he even sent a warship to fight a fierce battle at sea, and in the scuffle, the statue unfortunately fell to the ground and broke both arms, and since then, Yanluo has become a demigod with a broken arm. ”

"Everyone, seeing the severed arm, thought it was an immortal monument in ancient Greek art! After being transported to the Louvre, it immediately became the treasure of the town. Many artists, regretting the mutilation of such a masterpiece, tried to attach an arm to him, but ......"

The female guide Westernized shrugged: "Everyone has failed, including the master sculptor Rodin, because it was discovered that Yanluo, who has lost his arms, is more beautiful than wearing his arms!" ”

The students observed the statue, the upper half of which was naked, and the lower half of which was tied with a piece of linen – a marble-carved garment, of course.

The folds that wrap around the lower body are naturally curled, adding a subtle beauty to the statue, the slender but toned upper body, the streamlined muscular outline of the arms, and the face that is different from the Greeks and clearly in line with the aesthetics of modern people, all of which make people wonder how ancient Greece made such masterpieces more than 2,000 years ago.

"Do you feel that Yanluo, who has a broken arm, looks like we are Chinese?" One student was surprised.

The female tour guide said helplessly: "It's not the first time I've heard your question, a Korean tour group the day before yesterday swore that this statue, as well as the demigod Yanluo, is definitely a Korean...... However, the statue has absolutely nothing to do with the East. ”

"Yanluo is a name translated into Chinese, and the letters are yierro."

"As for the physical appearance of the statue, it should be that Alexandros absorbed the advantages of men and women, and deliberately carved the statue more neutrally, because of the identity of the demigod hero of Yanluo, and even gave it some divinity...... Therefore, in the carving technique, innovation has been made: the face is delicate and feminine, and the muscles of the statue are also different from other Greek sculptures with knotted muscles, slender and fit, and the figure has a feminine slenderness, and it is in this way that this statue has the beauty of crossing genders and eras! ”

"Even if you lose your arms, no statue can surpass the beauty!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but laugh herself: "Think about it, more than 2,000 years ago, when China was still the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how could anyone run to ancient Greece?" ”

At this time, the screens in the various venues of the Louvre lit up.

"Reporter Catherine, I am sending you a live broadcast of Athens, Greece, everyone is concerned, the previously discovered remains of the Pericles period, the excavation has finally reached the final stage, I am now making an urgent report for you, and a box has been found at the bottom of the ruins."

At the signal, the camera shifts to a nearby pothole, where some workers are using a crane to lift a box to the ground.

"This box is actually made of copper! At that time, copper-clad shields were common, but copper-clad chests ...... Let's ask the archaeologist Dr. Stiller what he thinks. ”

The microphone was handed to a man in his 40s next to him, and Stiller was excited: "You can see that this box is very large, and it is even two meters long!" The width and height were also more than one meter, and the smelting of metal was very backward in that era, so let's think about it, what is it that such a well-made box contains? ”

Catherine asked panderingly, "Is it the silver drachma?" ”

"No, no, no......"

Dr. Stiller shook his head, looking unfathomable, "Let your imagination run wild, this is a relic of the Pericles period, where we unearthed the Golden Scepter of the Archon yesterday!" None of these items are eligible to be placed in a box. ”

"At that time, Athens was very prosperous, and I mean the cultural prosperity! Socrates, Herodotus, Euripides, Democritus...... Whether it is a philosopher, an artist, a scientist...... I have a hunch that there may be treasures in this box that no one can imagine and shock the world! ”

"Great! I can't wait to see it...... Doctor, you know, this archaeological excavation has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the Greek government has also made an attempt to broadcast it live to a worldwide audience, and now there may be hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of people, watching this scene. ”

"Let's take a look at what was left behind in ancient Greece to be preserved in such a precious box!"

In the Louvre, many people, including students from Chinese tour groups, are looking at the screen intently, and at the same time they are whispering:

"What could it be?"

"It's a statue, isn't it?"

"What statue can compare to Yanluo with a broken arm? I hope it's books, the manuscripts of the ancient sages, that have been handed down. ”

On the screen, with the busyness of archaeologists and workers, the box is finally opened.

"Oh? What is it...... Discus? ”

Dr. Stiller suddenly shouted excitedly: "Is this the discus that once stoned the king of Sparta, Archidamhomus II, etched in history?" ”

Many people who saw this scene on TV sighed that some experts questioned the authenticity of this period of ancient Greek history, thinking that it could not be such a coincidence, the king of Sparta was actually stoned to death by a discus at the Olympic Games......

It should have been the Athenians, who attacked the king and then made up the story, and now the discus has appeared......

"Wait!"

The doctor suddenly shouted, "It's textiles, and paper!" Don't touch it, that will destroy the artifact! ”

The excavated paper and clothing were easily weathered, and even if they were placed in sealed copper-clad boxes, Stiller did not dare to let anyone touch them. At this time, the camera shifted to the world, and the audience around the world saw the contents of the box.

Paper;

Trousers;

Leather......

The students of the Chinese tour group widened their eyes, why did the blue pants look so much like autumn pants? And...... The orange leather jacket is obviously a leather jacket!

"This ...... I can't imagine that the ancient Greeks had such a weaving and dyeing technique more than 2,000 years ago, and you can see that the color of the pants has been preserved for 2,500 years, and this bright blue color has not faded...... Also, this leather jacket is a leather jacket......"

Dr. Stiller was shocked: "I can't imagine that leather jackets existed in Greece 2,500 years ago?" No...... According to that era, this should be called leather armor, and leather armor was actually made into a leather jacket shape! The Greeks simply had a vision ahead of their time! It's incredible. ”

"Paper...... Well? Is this drama? Manuscripts of Euripides and Sophocles? ”

The doctor almost jumped up: "The three great tragedians of ancient Greece have unearthed the manuscripts of two masters!" What kind of drama is this about? Will it be Helen, King Oedipus? ”

"Huh? There are also several papyri here, which are written in ancient Greek...... Taoism, morality? Well, I don't know what this means, but I seem to have found something amazing......"

"Ahh

Journalist Catherine suddenly let out an exclamation.

Her mouth was wide open, and her beautiful face was a look of horror to the extreme, so that it was completely distorted! It is mixed with horror and bewilderment, and there are even expressions of doubt about life, self-denial, etc., with multiple meanings! She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the leather jacket in the box.

On the cuffs of the leather jacket, there is an inconspicuous line of letters.

"What's wrong?"

Dr. Stiller turned his head to look over, his gaze glazed over.

"Oh God......"

He muttered and even drew a cross on his chest.

The camera lens faithfully filmed this scene, and this line of letters, along with the live broadcast screen, was presented in front of all the audience.

At this moment, the audience around the world, who watched the live broadcast of the excavation of the ruins, all of them, showed similar expressions almost at the same time. Everyone's face was full of disbelief and the shock of wondering if they were dreaming, and the whole world seemed to be coming to a halt because of this line of letters.
