Vous n'allez pas en croire vos oreilles ! Un homme utilisait depuis des années une pierre étrange comme butoir de porte, pensant qu'il s'agissait d'une pierre ordinaire. En fait, il s'agissait d'une météorite très précieuse ! Après l'avoir laissé traîner pendant des dizaines d'années, l'homme a fini par se poser des questions et l'a fait examiner par des experts. La pierre a finalement été estimée à une petite fortune, bien plus que ce à quoi il s'attendait. Vous vous imaginez à sa place, avec une chose d'une telle valeur pour coincer votre porte pendant tout ce temps ? Quelle trouvaille formidable !

00:00In the 80s, David Mazurek, originator of Michigan,
00:30decided to buy a farm not far from Mount Pleasant.
00:33The former owner visited his new property to David
00:36when he noticed a big stone in an strange way.
00:40She served to maintain open the door of a garden.
00:43Mazurek asked the origin of this door,
00:46and the farmer explained that it was actually an meteorite.
00:49She arrived on the property with a sudden noise in the 1930s.
00:53The morning morning, the farmer and his father discovered the crater that the meteorite had created.
01:00and he had extrait this guest of space, still hot.
01:03He had found a function, the door door,
01:06and the good news for the new owner,
01:09it was that the meteorite was sold with the property.
01:12He decided to never change anything until he lived on the streets.
01:15When he moved, he took the big stone
01:18and used it again as a door door for a hundred years.
01:22Sometimes, David let his children take the meteorite to school
01:26to show them to other students.
01:28It was then that he discovered that some inhabitants of Michigan
01:30gained money in selling the meteorites that they found.
01:34Like his pierre to him was enormous,
01:35she weighed 10 kilos.
01:37He decided to bring it to the University Central of Michigan
01:40to know the value.
01:42He found there a geology professor,
01:44a little less of all the estimates of the estimates
01:46that we submitted for about 20 years
01:48for the rocks that were not in any meteorites.
01:51But this time, she felt from the beginning
01:53that she had to do something special.
01:56She analyzed the pierre and determined
01:58that it was a real meteorite
02:00composed of 88,5% of fer
02:03and 11,5% of nickel.
02:07It was the sixth biggest discovery of this type
02:10in Michigan
02:11and the most precious specimen
02:13that she had ever seen.
02:14A sample was sent to the Smithsonian Institution
02:17of Washington
02:17for a new series of tests
02:19and everything was officially confirmed.
02:22It also appeared that the meteorite
02:24belonged to a primitive solar system.
02:27The Smithsonian and the Museum of Maine
02:28decided to buy the meteorite
02:30for a considerable sum.
02:32Finally,
02:33Mazurek l'a vendu
02:33to the Abraham's Planetarium
02:35of the University of Michigan
02:36for 75,000 dollars.
02:37It gave 20% of this sum
02:40to the Department of Science of Earth
02:41and the atmosphere
02:42of the Central University of Michigan
02:44which confirmed the provenance
02:46and authenticity of the pierre.
02:47For a long time,
02:49a painting of the famous
02:50florentine artiste florentine
02:51of the XIIIe siècle Simabu
02:52seemed to be volatilized.
02:54But in 2019,
02:56she made a surprise appearance
02:57in the comfortable house
02:58of a old lady
02:59living in the French camp.
03:01The lady was on the point
03:03of selling her house
03:04and invited a presever
03:05to know how
03:07she could obtain for her good.
03:09I imagine
03:09she didn't expect
03:10to have a painting
03:11that the painting
03:12which had served
03:12as decoration in her kitchen
03:14for many years
03:15could be worth millions.
03:17The commissioner-priseur
03:18saw that the painting
03:19wore the touch
03:20of a famous painter
03:21who lived there
03:22for several centuries.
03:23The expertise
03:24confirmed then
03:25that it was an original
03:26that was part of a series
03:27made in 1280
03:29and one of the 11 paintings
03:30of Simabu
03:31still present in the world.
03:33The background of the infrarouge
03:34revealed the subtiles corrections
03:35offered by the artist
03:36through the process
03:37of creation
03:38which reinforced
03:39the authenticity
03:40of the painting.
03:40The experts in art
03:42thought that the painting
03:43would be sold
03:43for about 6 millions
03:45of dollars.
03:46But they were mistaken.
03:47The new proprietor
03:48reboursed more
03:49of 26 millions
03:50of dollars
03:50to acquire the work.
03:52In 1831,
03:54a collection
03:55with a piece sculpted
03:56all in ivoire
03:57of morse
03:58was found
03:58in the sand of the
04:00of Lewis.
04:01Five of the pieces
04:02manquaient.
04:02Près de deux siècles
04:03plus tard,
04:04a family d'Edimbourg
04:05brought a piece
04:06of an exchange
04:06to the prestigieuse
04:07house of vente
04:08of Sotheby's.
04:10The grandfather
04:11of the family
04:12bought it
04:12in his jeunesse.
04:14He was acquies
04:14in 1964
04:16for 6 dollars
04:16and had transmitted
04:18to his wife.
04:19And even
04:19that the family
04:20didn't know
04:20the real value
04:21or the importance
04:23of the piece,
04:24it was estimated
04:24that it was a precious
04:25thing.
04:26They preserved
04:27at home
04:28as a family
04:29and they came out
04:30sometimes to admire it.
04:32In examining the piece,
04:33the personnel
04:34of Sotheby's
04:34realized that it was
04:36a piece of the
04:37Lewis
04:37dated the XII
04:38or the beginning
04:39of the XIII
04:39and was part of
04:41a famous game.
04:42The other pieces
04:43of Lewis
04:43were found
04:44in the institutions
04:45such as
04:45the British Museum
04:47and the National Museum
04:48of Scotland
04:49of Edinburgh.
04:50The complexity
04:51of the execution,
04:52the historical importance
04:53and the mystery
04:54of its career
04:55contributed
04:55to its value.
04:57And it was sold
04:57to the Enchairs
04:58to London
04:59for the sum
04:59of 925.000 dollars.
05:01Imaginez
05:02that you are
05:02in trying
05:03to find in a brocante
05:04and that you
05:05dénichiez
05:05a bag
05:06in diamond
05:06of 26 carats
05:07for 13 dollars.
05:09This is a
05:10an atout
05:10of an urban legend
05:11but it's
05:11well what happened
05:13to a lady
05:13at the United Kingdom
05:13at the United Kingdom.
05:15She was convinced
05:16that the object
05:16in question
05:17was a fantasy
05:17fantasy
05:18and she
05:19carried it
05:19with a
05:20disinvolture
05:20for a
05:21thirty years.
05:21One day,
05:23she decided
05:23to examine
05:24the bag
05:25to know
05:25if it was
05:25worth
05:26more than
05:2613 dollars
05:27and it
05:27was
05:27apparent
05:28that the
05:28stone
05:28that it
05:28was a diamond
05:30had probably
05:30belonged to
05:31a member
05:32of the family
05:32royal
05:33or a
05:33very fortunate
05:34of the 19th century.
05:36It was before
05:36the discovery
05:37of the diamond
05:38modern and there
05:39were very few
05:40of these stones
05:40in the whole world.
05:42Reconnaître
05:42that it was
05:43a diamond
05:43was difficult
05:44because it
05:45did not look
05:46at the
05:46which we are
05:47used to today.
05:49When we think
05:49of the diamond
05:50we imagine
05:51something
05:51of an
05:52tinselant.
05:53It was designed
05:54to be
05:54lighted
05:55with a
05:55tall and
05:57a
05:57old
05:58which
05:58was
05:58assombring
05:59with the
05:59time.

07:25Les spécialistes

07:28du XIXe siècle.
07:29Comment cette image
