Chapter 936: It's easier to do it at night

Except for the river valley a few hundred meters away, the rest of the direction is full of desert Gobi, and occasionally a strong wind blows a mouth full of sand.

Especially in the morning and evening, because of the temperature difference caused by the convection of the air, this wind is particularly ordinary, and it can easily blow people into disgrace.

On the day of the start of construction, Zhang Nan, who was watching the excitement, was very different from most of the security personnel from the same week ago, and changed into "Gelabiyah", which is the robe of the Egyptians.

Entering the country according to customs?

No, I was forced to change into the coolest clothes in this desert area.

During the day, when the sun is too strong, the robe can give all-round shelter, and the wind blowing into the robe forms a ventilation pipe that flows up and down, which can easily sweep away the moisture and heat generated by the body, and feel much more comfortable than wearing other clothes.

The special weather has created special clothing, which is cool during the day, and when the temperature drops to fifteen or sixteen degrees at night, the robe can effectively resist the cold in the desert.

The thousand-year-old custom of the Arabs is not unreasonable, and the robe is suitable for life in dry desert areas.

Charlize Theron, after a week of playing in Egypt, will also completely throw away the limited editions of her top fashion brands, also wearing a robe and replacing the hat on her head with a headscarf.

I changed two dollars a day and bought a few dozen.

Respect **** customs?

No, in Egypt, there is no mandatory requirement for foreigners. In addition, the secularization of Egypt is not only early, but also relatively deep, many Egyptian women are no longer wearing headscarves, Charlie's equipment is a summary of the experience of the past few days: first, the headscarf is light and easy to carry, change every day, and easily change a few beautiful shapes.

The second point is the most important: it helps to shield from the wind and sand, and after a few days in Egypt, she finally realized that "the sky in Egypt is a day of wind and sand", and the consequence of not wearing a headscarf is that she may go back to the bathroom at any time with one end of sand on her head.

Hair sand, uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it!

As for other things like sun protection and some exotic style in front of Zhang Nan, these are also very important - wearing a robe in the desert area is the best choice for both men and women.

After two days of visiting the desert-trapped monuments, Charlie began to wear sandals no longer in her shoes: the night she returned to the cruise ship after visiting the temple of Kumwembo, the girl took a shower and ran to Zhang Nan's suite in her pajamas.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Nan was about to blast this little goblin back - he might not have anything under his silk pajamas.

"Brother, I have a foot injury, do you have iodine here?"

Well, Zhang Nan thought about it.

Just a few minutes ago, a pair of Italian Salvatore Ferragamo sandals, which had only been worn twice, were tragically thrown into the Nile by Charlize Theron, and when they were thrown out, they were still yelling: "Die, damn desert!"

There is sand everywhere, and the sand slips into the toes at any time, or dry sand, and...

The skin between the girl's toes was worn out.

Iodophor?

The U.S. troops on board even have field medical backpacks, not to mention scratching some skin, and field surgery for missing arms and legs in an emergency.

At present, whenever Zhang Nan travels, he will accompany an experienced military doctor sent by the "United Forces", which is Nicole's mandatory requirement after being attacked by mercenaries in South Africa last time.

Except when I return to Huaxia, because Huaxia is safe enough.

Iodophor is a small meaning.

Waiting for Zhang Nan to find what he needed, Xiao Nizi stretched out her two long legs in front of him on the sofa...

The meaning is obvious: help.

"Medicate yourself!"

"I can't paint it. ”

What a scoundrel, pretending to be a dead dog.

"Your toenails are not trimmed, how do you apply nail polish?"

Zhang Nan was not fooled.

When the girl heard this, she laughed like a cat that had eaten a fish, "I have a manicurist." ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to it, put the iodophor bottle and cotton swab jar on the coffee table, Zhang Nan left the suite without looking back, and went to the performing arts bar to watch the belly dance

Go.

As soon as I went in, I found that none of the 3 belly dancers on the boat were there, but the bodyguards and contractors who were not on duty to watch the performance were still applauding: a group of big men were performing Sophie dance, wonderful!

Zhang Nan sat for a while, this kept spinning and turning, the jumping person didn't faint, how could he feel a little dizzy when he saw it...

……

The miners used short pickaxes and shovels, and when they dug, only one person went down, and first chiseled a layer;

Then two men went down to replace the one who was doing heavy physical work, and used shovels and baskets to bring up the loose sand.

At first, it was directly moved up by manpower, but after the grave pit became deeper and deeper, pulleys and ropes were put on the derrick made of steel pipes, and the people on it brought up the soil or people like carrying water.

On the change of team, the people who work are wearing masks, sweating for a while, with their bare shoulders on their backs, but they can't wear robes underneath.

The men who went down the mine were physically strong, and in such shifts, they could dry out at least 3 cubic meters of sand in an hour: the graveyard could go down seventy or eighty centimeters in an hour, which was amazingly efficient.

Don't compare your hobby with other people's professions, after William Breen and others saw the efficiency of professional miners, they completely understood why Mr. Allen dared to say: I have the best miners in the world!

It may be a bit of a brag, but the Chilean miners' rescue team is really world-famous, and a 700-meter-deep underground rescue more than 20 years later has caused a sensation in the world.

……

Perpendicular to the tomb on the south side, the limestone walls are cut very flat and there is no place for footrest.

The second tomb road is 45 degrees down, the direction is opposite to the first tomb road, and it slopes to the north, and there are steps. After digging down for two hours, the miners laid a wooden plank in the middle of the steps, removed the tripods, and pulled the baskets directly up with ropes.

After digging for two hours, Sanchez went down to both graves and looked at them, and then found Zhang Nan.

"Boss, the vertical one is well done, the north one seems to be temporarily closed, the sand and soil are not compacted, and there are a lot of broken stones and mud bricks......"

With a professional eye, Zhang Nan and William have actually observed.

If there are two passages in the Mastaba Tomb, the coffin and the mummy will only be in one of the connected burial chambers.

As for the other, it was probably where the offerings were kept: the main burial chamber should be just below the vertical burial passage to the south!

"Did the ancient Egyptians invent the pulley 4,600 years ago?"

Without pulleys, how did the coffin and the large stone slab that should exist underneath go down?

As soon as this question came out in Zhang Nan's mind, he immediately dispelled it.

Regardless of whether he has a pulley or not, the ancient Egyptians even built the pyramids, what else is impossible!

Work until noon, stop working, the afternoon is too hot, and the guys have to rest.

Sánchez had the pulley frame taken away and covered the tomb entrance with tarpaulin, so that the brothers could go to the barracks for a shower, a meal, and a lunch break.

Just now, he had already approached the boss and told him his plan: stop work in the afternoon, and cover the cloth at night and work overnight.

The grave was getting deeper and deeper, and the illuminated targets below were inconspicuous, and the sand beams did not attract much attention from the Egyptian soldiers who remained in the distance.

Zhang Nan agreed.

Digging graves is a job that is easier to do at night.
