Chapter 132: Stone Carving

As soon as Guo Hao landed on the shore, a group of people greeted him and greeted him, Guo Hao asked, sure enough, it was the people from the embassy of Saudi Arabia, and the staff of Egypt, the people here spoke Arabic and French, of course, and English, this is all because of historical reasons, it has been bullied by some countries, and there is no problem with communication for Guo Hao.

Guo Hao chatted with them for a while, and they gave Guo Hao a few documents, of course, Guo Hao's women and crew members had them, which was convenient for Guo Hao to play in Egypt. Egypt is located in eastern North Africa, and its territory also includes the Sinai Peninsula east of the Sui Canal and at the southwestern tip of Asia. Egypt is not only a key point of land communication between Asia and Africa, but also a shortcut to the sea route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and its strategic location is very important. Egypt is the most populous country in the Middle East and the second most populous country in Africa.

Guo Hao's group of people, followed them, came to a hotel to stay, the people of Saudi and Egypt, originally wanted to feast Guo Hao and his party, Guo Hao said, no need, I want to rest, don't be so troublesome, resolutely don't use, they also listened to Guo Hao, no need to feast, they also said goodbye and left.

Guo Hao plans to go to the pyramid again tomorrow, take a rest today, the hotel is a star hotel, in the room, you can cook your own food, all the women want to eat Guo Hao's cooking, Guo Haomu has a way, it is not easy to refuse, and he cooked another meal.

Guo Hao cooked dinner, everyone had a beautiful meal, after dinner, Guo Hao rested for a while, and then rested with the women, and then, Guo Hao began to omit with them

10,000 words, Guo Hao also omitted the remaining few crew members

10,000 words, Guo Hao has completely become a "bad" person, of course, among all the women, they all regard Guo Hao as a person who is too powerful, well, not a person.

The next time, Guo Hao rented a few cars, and the group set off and drove to the outskirts of Luocheng, where there are pyramids. Ancient Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world and the earliest kingdom in the world. Egypt is a powerful country in Africa and the third largest economy in Africa. Egypt has many places of interest, such as the internationally renowned pyramids and the Valley of the Kings.

Guo Hao knows that there are many pyramids in Egypt, it seems that there are more than 90 of them, and now Guo Hao is going to the three pyramids on the outskirts of Luocheng, which are also relatively famous, and many tourists will go there.

Guo Hao and his entourage, when they arrived at the pyramid, everyone got out of the car and began to watch the pyramid, the pyramid here is said to be the largest pyramid in Egypt.

The Great Pyramid, the mausoleum of Khufu, the second king of the Fourth Dynasty, is open to the public with a passage inside the pyramid that is impressively designed and calculated.

Guo Hao and others looked at it for a while, out of the big pyramid, to see the second pyramid, the second pyramid is the mausoleum of King Khafre, the son of Khufu, a little lower than the front, Guo Hao visually, there is about three meters difference, but the architectural form is more perfect and spectacular, there are temples and other ancillary buildings and the famous sphinx in front of the tower.

The face of the Sphinx is a reference to Khafre, the body is a lion, and one of the statue's ears is two meters high. The whole statue is carved from a natural rock except for the lion's claw. Due to the loose stone and more than 4,000 years of time, the whole statue has been severely weathered. In addition, the face is seriously damaged, some people say that Mamruk used it as a target to practice shooting, and some people say that it is the traces left by the cannon when Napoleon and Lun invaded Egypt in the 18th century, well, the nose was knocked off, and I don't know if it's true or not.

Guo Hao and the others then looked at the third pyramid, which belonged to King Menkaura, the grandson of Khufu. It was the period of decline of the Fourth Dynasty and the architecture of the pyramids began to decline. The height of the pyramid of Menkaula suddenly decreased to more than sixty meters, and the internal structure was chaotic.

Guo Hao thought that now, the pyramid is empty, the treasures and mummies have been plundered by tomb robbers, and the rest of the part will be appreciated in the Egyptian Museum. The magnificent buildings of the past have long lost their former brilliance.

Guo Hao stood under the pyramid, caressing the weather-beaten huge stones, as if hearing the pharaoh's heavy sighs. The mighty empire is long gone, and the broken soul cries night and night in the wind and sand, and it is difficult to rest in peace.

Guo Hao thought that if he could find a little treasure and take it back, he could show it off, but he just thought about it, where it was so easy, even if he found it, he couldn't take it away.

Guo Hao saw it, there were a lot of tourists, thought about it, didn't want to go to other places to see it again, suggested going back, all the women responded, and said to go back.

Guo Hao and the others returned to the hotel, rested for a while, Guo Hao began to cook his own lunch, and after cooking, he asked everyone to serve the table and eat.

After Guo Hao had lunch, he drank another pot of tea and went out to play, but this time, he took someone else, Guo Hao went to the Old City, located in the center of Cairo, consisting of thousands of individual shops scattered in dozens of small streets and alleys, many of which date back to the 14th century. The market road is narrow, the streets are crowded with small shops, mainly selling gold and silver jewelry, copper plates, stone carvings, leather goods and other traditional Egyptian handicrafts, known for the simple storefront, complete goods are loved by foreign tourists, because it is more crowded here, so, Guo Hao does not take them out, it is really a little inconvenient.

Guo Hao wandered in the alley, also bought some handicrafts, such as copper plates, leather goods, and then, thrown into the bag, walking, Guo Hao came to a stone carving shop, he suddenly saw, there was a stone sculpture in the corner, walked over to see, smiled, it turned out to be "The Thinker", however, this is obviously a masterpiece, maybe people all over the world know, the real "Thinker" in the Museum of the Francophonie, that is the famous one.

However, Guo Hao always felt that something was wrong, he looked at the stone carving, it was a little dirty, a little dusty, he couldn't help it, he moved it with his hands, and the clerk next to him also saw it, and Du Mu minded, because, this thing has been placed here for a long, long time, and it is estimated that the boss doesn't know where it came from.

When Guo Hao touched the stone carving, subconsciously, he used qigong to explore, he felt a little, this stone carving is not simple, sure enough, under the qigong exploration, Guo Hao almost screamed, there is really something inside, who is Guo Hao, Taishan collapsed, I don't move, so, I can't notice the change in Guo Hao's expression at all, of course, someone also pays attention to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao called the clerk and asked, "How much is this stone carving?" The clerk looked at it and said, "I'll ask the boss, please wait a minute." Then he went and went to call the boss.

After a while, an old man came over and asked Guo Hao, "Sir, do you want to buy this stone carving?" Guo Hao said: "Yes, I don't know how much." The old man asked, "Why did you buy this stone carving?" Guo Hao was stunned, how did he ask the reason, thought about it, and said that he was learning stone carving, and the level was about the same as this stone carving, and he wanted to buy it and commemorate it.

To tell the truth, the level of this stone carving is really not very good, on the surface, it looks similar to a beginner, a little stronger, Guo Hao and the old man chatted about stone carving for a while, naturally the old man said it first, asked Guo Hao a lot of things about stone carving, Guo Hao himself is a wood carver, jade carver, and is naturally no stranger to stone carving, after all, it is, "read" a lot of books, so, the two of them can talk very well, later, this old man also believed, Guo Hao is a person who can carve stone.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "This stone carving was handed down by my grandfather, and besides, this stone carving has a bit of history, 600,000 Egyptian pounds." Guo Hao calculated, about 400,000 Huaxia coins, thought about it, agreed, Guo Hao is actually not worried about buying expensive, but worried about buying cheap, don't be at that time, it's hard to say, although Guo Hao is not afraid, in fact, when Guo Hao decided to buy, he secretly started the video recording and recording, the old man didn't know, Guo Hao was also just in case, after all, the things in it were too amazing, not good, when the time came, internationally, they would scold themselves for being thieves, robbers, thieves, or something, now the video recording is complete, and when the time comes, they can tell the source clearly, clearly, and clearly。

Guo Hao asked the old man what kind of money he received, Guo Hao had Huaxia coins, Saudi currency, rice dollars, Egyptian pounds, and Egyptian pounds were given to him by the Saudi embassy when he came to Egypt, 10 million Egyptian pounds.

The old man asked, there is wood and rice yuan, Guo Hao said yes, the old man said, accept rice yuan, Guo Hao took out his mobile phone and turned it around for him, after the old man confirmed, the transaction between the two was completed, and Guo Hao naturally recorded the whole process.

After the transaction was successful, Guo Hao picked up the stone carving and left, because, the street here is too small, too narrow, the car can't get in, Guo Hao's behavior, and the boss and employees were stunned, Guo Hao has so much strength, this stone carving is nearly 100 kilograms, 200 catties, they all need several people, there is a way to move, however, Guo Hao is easy, take away, there is wood, not people, fortunately, Mu and Guo Hao fight, otherwise, Guo Hao's punch is enough for everyone to bear.

Guo Hao ignored these people's thoughts, hugged the stone carving and left, Guo Hao walked carefully all the way, the road is too small, there are too many people, don't touch others, such a heavy guy, touch it, the other party will be miserable.

Guo Hao met many people along the way, of course, it was not the stone carving that met people, it was a lot of people on the road, Guo Hao met a lot of people, not really met a lot of people, well, this sentence, why is it so tongue-twisting.

Everyone looked at Guo Hao's stone carving, first of all, surprised, everyone estimated, the stone carving is very heavy, surprised Guo Hao's strength, and then, everyone smiled, why, because I saw, this stone sculpture is "The Thinker", basically, everyone knows, the real "Thinker" in the French Museum, this in front of you, must be a good product, so, are all smiling, and then, everyone consciously, get out of the way, after all, this stone carving is not light, touch it, it will definitely hurt, at least, it will also be slightly injured.
