Chapter 472 The only one in history
Yuan Ni just smiled and said, "Giving up defeat before even competing? Is this the tradition of your country? Then I really have to admire you. We don't have such a habit."
If the loser does not lose, Doctor Lao Hou said bravely, "We haven't evaluated it yet, and you guys are talking nonsense. This is interfering with the game. Referee, please get this troublemaker out."
There was no referee at the scene, only three notaries, and the three of them looked at each other.
John didn't get angry when he was scolded, he just looked at it with a smile, as if he was sure that Yuanni would make a fool of herself sooner or later.
Yuan Ni stopped telling the other person that it was unnecessary. She picked up the stamp with tweezers and looked at it carefully.
This stamp has traces of postmarks and is not brand new. There is a slight warmth when you touch it with your hands, indicating that it is not a modern product.
Yuan Ni's eyes slid over the remaining postmark. The postmark should have the year, month and day, but the part representing the year was not stamped on the stamp. At this moment, there were only two numbers 7.9 on the stamp.
It indicates that on a certain July 7th in history, this stamp was affixed to the envelope and put into the mailbox.
December 7th...
Yuanni suddenly remembered something. Looking at the map with red stamps, she saw two ships sailing away. She knew what stamps these were...
This is the famous magenta one-cent ticket.
Magenta refers to the color of the stamp, and 1c represents the face value of the stamp, which is one cent.
The magenta one-cent ticket was issued by the country where the sun never sets more than 100 years ago. The circulation was very small. By the 60s, only one was left in the world, and it was sold at an auction for a million dollars.
After thinking of the answer, Yuan Ni carefully checked the face of the ticket and made sure there was nothing wrong with her answer, so she wrote it down on the paper.
When handing over the answer to the notary, Xiaobenzi also handed over the answer. He was 1.3 meters tall but had an expression of 1.8 meters, "You will definitely lose."
"I protest." Old Doctor Hou shouted again. How could this be no match? Always using psychological tactics?
After finally getting quiet in the room, several notaries began to read the results of the competition. This time, the answers written down in a small notebook were read out first.
"Six thousand years ago, one of the representative works of Hongshan Culture was the Jade Pig Dragon."
What people didn't expect was that the little book actually had some real abilities, and the answers he gave were accurate.
Dr. Hou's shoulders immediately slumped, as if he saw the Jade Pig Dragon abandoning him.
Xiao Benzi was arrogant and laughed, "I knew a long time ago that you will lose this game."
"Not always."
The outcome has not yet been determined, and it is still unclear who will win.
If Yuanni's answer is also correct, even if the two sides fight in a tie, no one can take away the other's things.
"Read the answer quickly." Dr. Hou couldn't wait any longer.
"1834 years..."
Yuanni's answer is also correct.
Dr. Hou wiped his sweat and said, "Kept."
Everyone has great admiration for Yuanni. She can even judge such an unconventional collection correctly. She is really good.
Neither side suffered any losses in this round.
"The next game is the third round, please bring up the collection."
A shocking scene occurred. What both sides brought up were actually scraps of paper.
The one who competes with Yuanni is still a small book, and it seems that he has the highest appraisal level among the three.
No matter how high the level of identification was, Facing the clueless fragments of the book, the little book was still at a loss. He could only frown and read carefully with a magnifying glass.
Yuanni is also reading. If you want to judge the origin of ancient books, the content is a very important aspect.
However, upon taking a closer look, she found that she could not read the words on the fragment.
The writing on the fragment is quite rare. It is not English, but an even older language, Hebrew.
Although Yuanni does not understand Hebrew, she knows that the only book that can be written in Hebrew and widely circulated in the world is the Bible.
So she boldly speculated that this should be a fragment of the Bible.
So the question arises, which era did the Bible come from and where did it circulate?
There must be no clues on the fragments. Neither side of the competition would leave such a big loophole for the other party. Yuan Ni did not hesitate to use her golden finger and reached out to touch the fragments.
A burning sensation immediately came from the fingertips. Unlike stamps, these Bible fragments were real antiques.
Based on the degree of burning, Yuan Nier deduced that the age of the fragment should be around 900 AD.
Once the age and content of the fragments are known, it is much easier to estimate the version.
AD 900 was the year when the Sassoon Hebrew Bible appeared. This version of the Bible was called the Sassoon Codex.
The Sassoon Codex Hebrew Bible, known as the most expensive Bible in history, has set a record of $200 million at auction.
Yuanni wrote her answer without hesitation. With a golden finger, it would be much easier to work backwards through the years to get the correct answer.
Looking back at the small book, there were beads of sweat as big as soybeans on his forehead. He pointed a magnifying glass at the fragment and looked left and right, but he didn't see any clues.
Yongle Dadian is an encyclopedia. In terms of content, it talks about things, rules and principles.
The few fragments given by Yuanni are all about astrology and are meaningless.
Yuanni handed in the answers and sat with the others. Dr. Hou asked her quietly, "How sure are you?"
"About seven to eight points."
"Then it's stable, wait until I cause some trouble for them."
In the second game, several foreigners kept sarcastic and disrespectful, so Doctor Hou decided to return it now.
"Ouch, do you understand or not? If you don't understand, don't hold on. You've wasted your time." Dr. Hou was not polite to the little book at all.
There was more sweat on Xiaoben's forehead.
"Please don't interfere with him, we must have a competitive spirit." Xiao Benzi's companion stood up.
"Then what were you doing just now? Are the rules of relationships set for you? You can do whatever you want, but we can't say anything?"
Dr. Hou's voice got louder and louder. He just wanted to interfere with the little book. What's wrong?
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, the notary quickly stopped them and said, "Please calm down, the result of the game will be announced soon."
Everyone looked at the table together, and sure enough, a small notebook was writing answers.
