Chapter 718: Watching the Cultural Relics
As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, everyone else present quieted down, returned to their seats, and began to look forward to the appearance of this artifact, which was said to be a major discovery.
Li Jinxing and Nie Yao looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.
Li Jinxing then slowly took out an exquisite box, and Nie Yao also put on gloves, placed the exquisite box on the conference table, and then opened it carefully.
Under the gaze of the crowd, this artifact shining with golden light was placed on a velvet cloth and presented to everyone present.
"This cultural relic is the heirloom donated by me on behalf of my family, the Li family. It comes from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt and now it has returned to its homeland!" Li Jinxing said in a deep voice.
At this time, Nie Yao nodded and smiled, adding, "My preliminary assessment is that this artifact is very likely owned by Queen Hatshepsut, but further identification requires confirmation from the experts and professors present!"
After seeing this cultural relic, many experts and professors present stood up excitedly and picked up magnifying glasses to begin studying it.
When the old curator Tawfik heard that it was a relic from the time of Queen Hatshepsut, he was also somewhat surprised. He looked at his old friend Professor Fred and said with a smile, "Fred, you've concealed such a big news thoroughly..."
Professor Fred smiled noncommittally and explained in a low voice, "After all, this is Mr. Li's heirloom, so I can't say much about it. Besides, it was Ivy who did the preliminary appraisal. She's still a student after all, and can't compare to experts like you!"
"She's no ordinary student. She's your most proud daughter and disciple. She's been following you on archaeological expeditions for many years. She's already accomplished a lot at such a young age. She'll be a great talent in the future!"
The old curator, Taofik, shook his head and praised Nie Yao in a low voice. Seeing that everyone had already started studying the artifact, he stood up with a smile and said, "I won't say any more to you. I'll go over and take a look..."
Nie Yao was still wearing gloves as she demonstrated the mechanism of the cultural relic to them, which made the archaeological experts present even more excited.
Li Jinxing didn't understand much about this, so he didn't disturb Nie Yao. He just watched quietly from the side. Watching Nie Yao discuss with many elderly archaeologists, a faint blush appeared on her slightly made-up face, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
He knew that his original decision was right. His Yaoyao had always been so serious and charming in these professional work!
The Nie family didn't understand her at all. They thought that by taking her back, they could force her to give up her professional hobbies. However, they didn't realize how rare it was for someone to have such an enterprising and focused attitude towards their profession...
Li Jinxing was unknowingly absorbed in watching until the discussion paused, and the person in charge said in a deep voice, "Since everyone still has a dispute, this artifact will be sent to the laboratory for systematic analysis and research, including the age of the papyrus paintings contained within. Elemental and scanning identification will also be conducted. Once the identification results come out, we will hold a meeting to discuss it!"
At the order given by the person in charge, the other archaeological experts nodded and expressed their agreement.
The person in charge of cultural relics also took out the cultural relics return documents and prepared to sign a specific cultural relics return certificate with Li Jinxing.
