Chapter 457: The Lost Civilization

The next day we went out and took a car to the Valley of the Kings.

But Ye Kai unexpectedly found the three brothers who sent him over yesterday outside the car window, and looking at the route, they should also go to the Valley of the Kings today.

Yesterday, when a few people separated, no one mentioned this kind of thing, everyone came here from their own country to travel, what to do when they returned home after traveling, there is no need to make a friend who has little opportunity to contact.

Encounters and separations are common things to see in travel.

Their car was relatively fast, and it quickly surpassed the rental car made by Ye Kai, but the Valley of the Kings was not far away, and when they arrived at the parking lot, Ye Kai happened to see them coming out of the parking lot.

Ye Kai hurriedly paid the bill and shouted over there: "Qiangen!"

Johnstein was playing with his mobile phone, and suddenly looked up at his friend and asked, "Who called me?"

"I think I heard someone call Jon, too...... Forget who will call you in this kind of place, hurry up and go in, I heard that you have to queue up to visit here, go to the queue early. ”

Sean turned around and began to search: "I heard Ye's voice...... Hey, it's really him!"

Ye Kai quickly ran over and hugged the three of them, originally thinking that there would be no chance to meet again in the future, but they didn't expect everyone to meet again the next day.

"According to our Huaxia words, this is 'yuanfen', which means that all this is destined by God. ”

Since we have met, let's go into the Valley of the Kings together.

When Luxor was not called Luxor before, it had another name called Thebes, and for a long time Thebes was the political center of Egyptian civilization, that is, where the pharaohs were located.

At that time, Thebes flourished to the point that there were more than 100 gates alone, and Homer called it the "City of a Hundred Gates" in Homer's epic poems, and it was the largest city in the world at that time.

The Valley of the Kings is the mausoleum area of the pharaohs and nobles of the 18th and 20th dynasties of the New Dynasty of ancient Egypt (Huaxia should be the Yin Shang period), and now more than 70 mausoleums have been developed, known as the 'Necropolis of the Pharaohs of the Bandai Dynasty'.

The pharaohs chose to be buried in this inaccessible valley at that time, in order to avoid the tomb robbery that was already rampant at that time, but they couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of the first month, and now they will dig it up for you.

And it's reasonable and legal.

The ticket is still very elegant, only 100 Egyptian pounds, and after buying the ticket, everyone starts to drill into the hole......

It's a tomb, after all.

Because of the reason for visiting the Queen's Temple yesterday, Ye Kai is more interested in Egyptian murals and reliefs, and the murals in the tomb are very well preserved, and they seem to be small stories.

Ye Kai looked down one by one and found that these murals were very interesting.

For example, there is a painting depicting an emperor who dies taking off his crown, wearing sandals to meet the eagle-headed god and handing over his scepter. In the next picture, God accepted him, so that he, like God, could go barefoot and wear no shoes.

With no scepter in his hand, no shoes on his feet, nothing to do, and nothing to do, he immediately seemed so at ease.

This is just a small story among the countless murals, and there are many stories that I don't understand very well, but after recalling them, I feel that they have a lot of connotation, these murals once made Ye Kai forget that this is a tomb, not a study.

The three of Qiang En had already finished shopping, standing aside and waiting for Ye Kai.

"What does he look at? He seems to be fascinated, and it feels the same as when I was watching a movie. ”

"You watch movies? Don't you always eat chips when you watch movies? Oh, you mean like when you eat? Don't you worry we'll laugh at you, we're good brothers. ”

..................

Ye Kai was about to take a look at the next one, but he saw Sean Colt standing beside him.

Looking back, Johnstein and Robert Brossius had already finished walking around the mausoleum and stood aside doing nothing, Ye Kai just looked at the time, 40 minutes had passed, and this was only the first mausoleum.

There are sixteen more mausoleums waiting for them to explore.

Ye Kai grabbed his hair, there are still some murals here that he hasn't finished reading, and this place can't be photographed, so he can't take these little stories and go home to savor them slowly.

For him, these murals are one of the best ways to learn about Egypt.

"Why don't you go to the other mausoleums first, I want to see the murals here, I think it will take a long time, I'm sorry. ”

Robert said, "My friend, you don't need to apologize, if I could understand the story I would be like you, you must be a historian." ”

"No, I'm just a photographer, and it's a shame that I can't play to my strengths. ”

Throughout the Valley of the Kings, photography is prohibited.

"Haha, see you next time. Jonstein said with a wave of his hand.

Since this is the second time we met, Ye Kai explained the matter of fate again, everyone added Facebook friends to each other, although this software chat is not as convenient as WeChat, but it is enough to contact people.

After they left, Ye Kai continued to look at the mural, but sped up his speed.

Even if you don't understand some of the stories, you should remember them in your mind and go home and think about them slowly, otherwise it will be night after reading the stories on these murals......

No one should stay in this kind of place until the evening, and Ye Kai is no exception.

The more he read the little story of Egypt, the more shocked Ye Kai was by the Egyptian civilization, just as the civilization of China is a history of war, so is the civilization of Egypt.

The Egypt that people see now is far from the real ancient Egypt.

The civilization of China is in the same line, but Egypt does not seem to be like this, of course they have their own civilization, but it seems that the middle is separated too many times, so that it feels like two countries.

Luxor was once home to the world's most luxurious capital and the largest city in the world.

But if the entire Egyptian civilization is divided into 5,000 years, then the first 3,000 years are the time of the pharaohs, with the center in Memphis, and then in Thebes, which is now Luxor.

The next thousand years were the Greco-Roman era, and the center of Egypt was in Alexandria.

The last millennium can be said to be the Arab era, with its center in Cairo.

It can be seen that the transfer of the center of Egypt was related to foreign invasions, and the greatest result of each invasion was often mixed and mixed. As a result, different cities were inhabited by different mestizo tribes, and true Ancient Egyptian apprentices were hard to find.

Today's Egyptians, just by asking him where he came from, can get a rough idea of his lineage.

Luxor continued the pharaonic civilization for more than 3,000 years, after two central migrations and foreign invasions. Now we see only scattered ruins, and the ancient Egyptian civilization remains among the ruins.

Ye Kai thought that the ancient civilization of Egypt had been basically lost.
