Chapter 449 There is something inside
Although the bank manager helped Li Jinxing open the safe, he knew that the contents were Li Jinxing's personal secrets. After opening the box, he put away the key and whispered to Li Jinxing, "Mr. Li, take your time to look through it. I won't disturb you and will leave first!"
After he said this, his eyes did not even linger on the box on the table for a moment. He turned and left the room, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
In the huge room, only Li Jinxing and Nie Yao were left.
Li Jinxing was about to reach out and take something out of the box, but was stopped by Nie Yao.
"etc--"
Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Yao, only to see Nie Yao also took out gloves from her bag and put them on, then carefully opened the box and reached in to take out the ancient Egyptian artifacts inside.
The light in the room was fluorescent and not too bright. Nie Yao took out the ancient Egyptian artifact the size of a dressing box. The dazzling gold under the light made the whole room look more magnificent.
She had only seen this cultural relic through the photos provided by Li Jinxing, and knew that it was made of pure gold. Now that she saw the real thing, she was still shocked.
"So beautiful—" Nie Yao couldn't help but murmur in praise. She picked up the gold jewelry box and examined it carefully, stroking the delicate patterns on it. She whispered, "It's worthy of being a product of the time of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. The gold welding technology is so good that there's not even a single gap..."
Unless it was a powerful Pharaoh dynasty, there wouldn't be such skilled craftsmen. After seeing the real artifact, Nie Yao was even more certain that her guess was correct!
This ancient Egyptian artifact indeed belongs to the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut!
The round lid of the dressing box is carved with the image of the eagle god Horus, with a beautiful turquoise gem inlaid in the middle, and the area around the gem is densely covered with hieroglyphs.
Nie Yao picked up the dressing box and turned it over. She discovered that the back was engraved with the Key of Life, a scarab, and the Eye of Horus. It was not much different from other ancient Egyptian artifacts...
Li Jinxing saw that Nie Yao was reading intently, so he didn't interrupt her until she finished. Then he smiled and asked, "Do you think this artifact belonged to the female pharaoh?"
"Judging from its exquisiteness, it's very likely!" Nie Yao nodded and said hesitantly, "But I feel like there might be something inside!"
"Really? Then open it and see what's inside?" Li Jinxing suggested with a smile.
"No, the lid is locked and can't be opened!" Nie Yao tried, shook her head and answered in a low voice.
"If we can't open it, we can only take it back first. Maybe the Egyptian authorities can find a way..." Li Jinxing patted her shoulder and suggested in a low voice.
"But this lid is flexible and can be rotated..." Nie Yao twisted it gently and found that the round lid on it seemed to be able to rotate left and right, and she could hear the clicking sound of the lock, which made her interested.
"Let me try, okay?" Nie Yao raised her head and looked at Li Jinxing, earnestly asking for his consent.
"Of course!" Li Jinxing nodded happily. He believed in Nie Yao's professionalism and her intuition.
Nie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, took out a magnifying glass, and looked carefully at the dressing box. She whispered, "Sure enough, I was right. The hieroglyphics on it are the password to open this lid..."
