World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 399

When Mr. Xu heard this, his expression was startled, and he asked: "There is nothing wrong with its shape, casting method, texture, and external rust. You didn't verify it carefully just now. Why do you say it is fake?"

Lu Cenyin also looked at me curiously.

I glanced at the bronze ax next to it, and said, "Because of the genuine bronze ax that was just unearthed from the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is impossible for you to show it to us."

This matter is mainly based on the judgment of the archaeological work system.

An official archaeological team, after the cultural relics are unearthed, will not be allowed to publish photos, objects, and conclusions without authorization if the cultural relics are unearthed.

These people have very strict confidentiality requirements.

As the leader of the archaeological team, Mr. Xu must take the lead in adhering to this system. It is impossible for us two outsiders to present a newly unearthed cultural relic for identification.

Deduce from this.

what he gave.

Must be fake.

Take a familiar example.

At the Sanxingdui archaeological site 20 years later, every time the archaeological team announces new cultural relics discovered at the Sanxingdui site, there will always be a period of time, ranging from three to five months, which is called "new" on the Internet.

Online celebrity treasures such as the bronze sacred tree, sacrificial platform, and bronze bird are all officially authorized and published.

But in fact, more than 1 cultural relics have been excavated from the Sanxingdui archaeological site so far, and only a few of them have been authorized to be released.As for the net red treasure, the Bronze God Tree was unearthed as early as [-] in the No. [-] pit of Sanxingdui, but it was not announced in time at that time.

Most of the cultural relics are not published or published later, involving various factors such as historical culture and identification methods.

Elder Xu smiled and said, "Xiao Su, you always surprise me by surprise."

I replied, "Mr. Xu is over the top."

Elder Xu asked again: "Then can you guess what is the purpose of my keeping you today?"

I replied: "An accident happened to the archaeological team. It will be very troublesome to solve it as Mr. Xu. We need to take action."

Elder Xu nodded: "Try to talk about what happened to the archaeological team."

I thought about it for a while and replied: "Someone made fakes that are exactly the same as the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb before the archaeological results of the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb were announced."

Hearing this, Mr. Xu took a sip of tea, his face sinking like a deep pool, with a solemn expression.

It seems that I really hit the spot.

No wonder he was so angry in the conference room.

Artifacts are no more than anything else.

Little to no repeatability.

Even in different tombs of the same era, the funerary objects excavated inside are completely different.

As for antique counterfeiting, the most important thing is not to make rust, bite acid, combine materials and other technical means, but to cast molds as usual.

The so-called mold-making as usual is to make a model based on the real thing and imitate the fake one that is exactly the same as the old one.

For example.

No one in the world knew the true appearance of the bronze ax in the Western Zhou Tomb before it was officially announced, and it was impossible to prevent it.

Even if it is officially announced, there are only photos and simple size specifications.

When it is exhibited in a museum, it is also impossible to get a full view of it through the explosion-proof glass far away.

Based on these published information, counterfeiters make their own guesses and calculations to make models, and the fakes they make must have major flaws, which are easy to see through.

To prevent likeness, the best way is to use the real thing to make a mold.

Now someone has made exactly the same fake bronze axe ahead of time.

It can only prove that the counterfeiter got the real bronze axe beforehand, made an inversion, and then returned the real one!
Once the mold is formed, it can be mass-produced.

At that time, there will be a large number of counterfeit bronze axes on the market, and the bronze axes announced by the archaeological team can be called the real and fake Monkey King, and it is completely difficult to distinguish.

This is not only a devastating blow to archaeological achievements, but also a serious disruption to the cultural relics market.

It is much more serious than the last single incident of the western four-legged beast-mask tripod being stolen.

I asked, "Fakes have also appeared in other cultural relics?"

Elder Xu said, "A dozen cultural relics have all appeared."

I asked: "How did you discover it?" Mr. Xu replied: "Someone quietly placed this fake bronze ax in my room, and also attached detailed cast drawings of more than a dozen cultural relics unearthed this time."

I suddenly gasped.

under normal circumstances.

When counterfeiters get genuine products and make counterfeit ones, they do it secretly, transport them secretly, and sell them secretly, for fear of showing their flaws.

But the other party put this thing grandly in Xu Lao's room.

Totally against common sense!

I asked, "When was it released?"

Elder Xu replied, "The time before and after I saw you last time."

Since then.

Elder Xu took out a note: "There is also a doggerel."

Notes are printed.

The poem above reads: "It is bright when the sun and the moon do not meet, and everything in the world follows. I urge you to quickly move the cloud hand, so that there will be no universe in the world!"

As soon as the poem comes out.

I immediately felt like a thorn in my back.

If you link this matter with the old manager.

Everything seemed to be working out.

Lu Cenyin and I went to see Mr. Xu for the purpose of getting Mr. Xu to help us to enter the expert building.

But when we saw him last time, the fake bronze axe, the inverted map of cultural relics, and the doggerel appeared in Mr. Xu's room.

The tripod with four-legged animal-mask pattern in the west was lost.

It was because the students next to Mr. Xu were ghosts and stole the thing and fled.

no doubt.

That ghost is the old manager.

Otherwise, the lunatic would not have obtained the tripod and let Yu Feng send it abroad.

this poem.

It was clear that Mr. Xu still had ghosts around him.

This ghost is most likely also the old manager's person.

He has been by Elder Xu's side all the time, and he has quietly taken more than a dozen cultural relics unearthed from the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb to make molds.

And after we met Mr. Xu.

The inner ghost received the order and presented Mr. Xu with a fake bronze axe, drawings and limericks.

Poetry is straightforward and explicit.

Any fool understands what that means.

The old manager compared Mr. Xu to an upright sun and himself to the moon.

Between the sun and the moon, they never overlap and overlap, so everything works normally.

If Xu Lao wants to intervene in the grievances between me and the old manager, the old manager thinks that the world will be turned upside down and the world will be turned upside down.

This is not only a serious provocation to the archaeological team and Mr. Xu, but also a strong warning to Mr. Xu!

The context of the whole incident is very clear!

I was worried that after the accident in the expert building, the old manager would set the fire on Mr. Xu, so I came here to remind Mr. Xu today.

But in fact, I have always been lucky, thinking that the old manager should not be so courageous to touch Mr. Xu.

Now it seems.

My judgment on the old manager was seriously biased.

The fire, the moment I set foot in the Huiyun Hotel to find Mr. Xu, it had already started to burn!
A chill ran down my spine.
