The steps of the tomb are neatly excavated, but the 45-degree slope and the depth of more than ten meters make it a little scary to go up.

Because the working face is much more convenient than the vertical grave road, and the sand is crisp and loose, the excavation speed of this grave road is faster. Even if the amount of earthwork increased greatly due to the tilt, a group of people here dug to the end at almost the same time.

The miners dragged two ropes on the slope, which made Zhang Nan hold on to the rope and walk up slowly, so as not to accidentally fall down: at a 45-degree angle, he can roll directly to the end!

There were still people at the bottom of the grave, a graduate student and two miners led by William, who continued to dig through the sand and gravel that had not had time to be cleared, so as not to miss anything.

Zhang Nan is too lazy to continue to pay attention here, there is no flower, just see what major discoveries will be made in the tomb next door in two days.

As soon as I came up, the temperature was already relatively cool, so I didn't take the car anymore, and walked to the camp with a breeze.

It was dark, the moonlight in the desert was good, and I could see the ground clearly without a flashlight, and I couldn't fall.

Charlize Theron had heard Zhang Nan's gossip about the ancient "official thieves", looked at the outline of the pyramid in the distance, and asked Zhang Nan: "Do you think this side will also be dug by the pharaoh?"

"Who knows, maybe.

More than 2,000 years ago, several ancient Egyptian pharaohs had ordered the pharaoh's tombs found in the Valley of the Kings to be sorted out several times, and I don't know if they had been stolen before.

It is said that it was because of the rampant tomb robbery, in order to protect the mummy of the previous pharaoh from being destroyed.

In fact, many records believe that that during that time was an official thief, the mummy was put away, and the treasure was not left!

So, the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb is remarkable, and the pharaohs of later dynasties have to dig up and hide without being discovered, which is really a divine protector. ”

Pharaoh, just like the emperor of China, the dynasty changes, who knows whom!

Fortunately, because of the spread of culture, except for the Mongols who were addicted to digging graves, almost none of the other emperors who really won the world had the habit of digging the tombs of previous emperors.

The famous Cao Mengde doesn't count, he is a prime minister, and it is not his turn to be the son of heaven, and it is understandable that he is a captain who touches gold when he is anxious because of the lack of war funds.

At that time, Brother Meng De's cheekiness was still very worthless, and the most important thing was to fight for territory and grab population!

Those who really became the son of heaven, if they are not educated, they must be cultured people, and by the way, they must make themselves gentle and elegant, at least they must have a good face and background, just like Li Tang recognized his ancestors, and they all went to find a good ancestor to play orthodoxy.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven! What kind of business is it to dig up the tomb of the former Son of Heaven!

You're going to be cheeky!

Ancient Egypt...

Sisters can marry, and biological daughters can also be taken by themselves, hehe, it's different!

The Chinese people talk about etiquette, and later Confucianism does not talk about it, the etiquette and music of the Western Zhou Dynasty are rigorous enough, and ancient Egypt is not finished at the same time, although it has just entered the "third intermediate period" that lasted more than 400 years.

As he walked, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of something, and said to the girl with a smile: "Do you know what Pharaoh means?"

"King, ruler?"

Pharaoh, just a title.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "The meaning is right, but pharaoh actually became the official title of the ruler of ancient Egypt less than 3,000 years ago, and the name is a transliteration of the Hebrew word in Egyptian, which means big house." ”

Rulers always live in big houses.

"What was it called before?"

It's the first time Charlize Theron has heard of this thing, like the Pyramid of Khufu over there in Giza, no matter who says it now, it was built by Pharaoh Khufu, Pharaoh Khufu, that is not "Pharaoh", what should it be called?

Zhang Nan blurted out: "Big house." ”

"Don't be funny, be serious!"

Xiao Nizi was not happy.

"It's really possible that it's called a big house, who knows, if it's true, probably only God knows how the ancient Egyptians spoke.

At that time, there was no tape recorder, and the text was cracked, and the ghost knew what kind of pronunciation was correct. ”

At this point, Zhang Nan stopped and said, "Aren't you learning Chinese, but you can't understand it at all when Brother Guan and I speak dialects, because our dialects have a lot of ancient Chinese elements."

The whole sentence can be explained in modern Chinese, but it can't be written in Chinese characters word by word, because the pronunciation is not at all in modern Chinese, and even the words we say are not in the dictionary at all, even Brother Guan and I can't write them ourselves!

This is true of the languages and scripts that have been handed down, let alone the Egyptian script. ”

The Egyptian script, which was used in ancient Egypt, has almost nothing to do with modern Egypt: today in Egypt, only the minority Coptic is a mixed descendant of the ancient Egyptians, and Coptic is a language developed from the ancient Egyptian language.

The Arabs, the main ethnic group in Egypt, are not ancient Egyptians at all, and their culture is completely different, and the official language is Arabic.

As for the term "pharaoh", in the era of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, it only referred to the royal palace, and did not refer to the king himself. It was not until Thutmose III of the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom that the term "pharaoh" began to be used for the king himself, and gradually evolved into an honorific title for the king.

It was not until the 22nd Dynasty that "Pharaoh" became the official title of king.

However, modern people can't figure out how the ancient Egyptians called their rulers 3,000 years ago, so they simply agreed to use "pharaoh" as a custom, and anyway, Khufu, Ramses II, and Tutankhamun would not jump out of the opposition.

......

Hungry, eat.

Returning to Cairo, I took Xiao Nizi to Alexandria the next day, and then returned to Cairo very disappointed.

Alexandria, the fame is big, after reading it, there are three words: broken place!

There is also a bit of a Greco-Roman museum with a lot of coins from the ancient Greek and Roman periods.

It's a pity that in terms of the number of ancient gold and silver coins alone, thanks to the unknown ancient Roman tyrant in Britain and the blessing of the Third Reich, Zhang Nan's private collection can throw off this museum a few streets!

I didn't go anywhere for the next two days, so I stayed in the hotel because Xiao Nizi felt unwell and didn't want to move.

I asked her what was wrong, and said that her stomach hurt a little and that she didn't need to see a doctor.

Well, it can't be helped, let's spend it slowly.

Inform the archaeological site that the excavation of the tomb road is suspended, and the cleaning of the pyramid ruins continues.

The boss's baby sister doesn't want to move, everyone else has to wait, and there is no need for any reason.

As far as William Brin is concerned, Mr. Allen is what he says, and the initiative is long gone.

The miners didn't care, they hadn't stopped for the past two days, and they had been working to clean up the sand and gravel from the ruins of the pyramid.

Isn't it just work, doing everything is the same.

Two days later, Xiao Nizi said that her stomach was no longer uncomfortable, so she would go and dig a grave!

"I'll find you an old Chinese medicine doctor when I go back, take some Chinese medicine, it's more effective than Western medicine." ”

It's been two lifetimes, how can girls not know this little problem.
