Chapter 946: Pick and Choose

In the predynastic period of ancient Egypt, the scepter was a common portable weapon for high-level warriors, with a simple structure, and a stone hammer on the head of the wooden stick was used to smash people.

From the early dynastic period, the scepter became the exclusive weapon of the king, and the symbolism of the scepter dedicated to royal power should also start at that time.

After that, the craftsmanship of the scepter became more and more refined, and by the time of the Old Kingdom, the pharaohs probably no longer needed to take a stone hammer scepter to the battlefield to smash people, but in addition to the style of the scepter in their hands, there was still a type of scepter that maintained the function of really killing people.

Now Zhang Nan is holding this last one, with a gold-covered wooden handle and a round gold hammer head, with beautiful patterns all over the body.

If you look closely, there are quite a few small hieroglyphs on it: there are hammer heads, and even the handle is there, and it can probably be used to prevent slipping.

It is gold-filled, not gold-pasted, and the wooden handle is wrapped with gold skin, which can be embossed.

"William, let's see what this means. ”

Mr. Professor took it, looked at it carefully, and said, "Sniferu took this scepter and commanded the war to conquer Nubia, and to commemorate that victory, the Pharaoh ordered craftsmen to process it.

Mr. Allen, this is just a coherent conjecture I have made based on the meaning of the hieroglyphs, and the word "processing" above should mean redecoration. ”

can be understood, this is like the ancient Chinese characters, it seems that the earlier this age, the fewer words in this sentence, and most of them have to be coherent and brain-filled.

It feels good, and if the gold hammer is used to smash people's heads, it is estimated that it can be as fierce as a hammer to smash a watermelon. But Zhang Nan didn't dare to pick it up and try it, lest the wooden stick in the "hammer handle" fall off and cause the head of the scepter to fly out.

The style of the other scepter is similar to the one in Zhang Nan's hand, which is also covered with gold, but it is a bare plate on it, so keep it for Snifru.

Yes, after being busy for so many days, I have to find myself some favorite souvenirs, regardless of morality or immorality.

As for William and his team, Zhang Nan will not think about their thoughts: if you don't want to cause yourself big trouble, you know how to shut up and end it.

The scepter in his hand was handed to Lin Ming, who turned around and handed it to the hole in the ceiling, and naturally someone followed.

I didn't think to pry open the heavy sarcophagus, I'm not stupid, it's something left for the Egyptians to open, and it is estimated that Mr. Professor, who will stay at that time, is just watching the excitement.

There is also a large cabinet similar to the shape of a temple on one side, this thing Zhang Nan is too lazy to look at, there is a chance that there will be an alabaster box there.

There would also be four alabaster canopis jars in the box, which contained the pharaoh's four internal organs: liver, intestines, lungs, and stomach.

Some Western collectors will collect this kind of single-functional, evil canopis jar, Zhang Nan has no brain, and will not want it.

Besides, even William, who had an idea, wouldn't touch those things: this was a pharaoh's tomb that had never been stolen, and it was nothing without pharaoh's internal organs!

On the low table on the ground was a boat carved of alabaster, half a meter long, and a statue of a javelin with a javelin stood on it, which looked very similar to the black statue of the pharaoh above, which was also supposed to be the image of Snifru.

100% bright device, it is better to stay away.

At will, there are a lot of alabaster products in the tomb, and there are a lot of plates and jars, which look a little similar to the taste of Chinese jade, but in fact, these are just dense gypsum or calcite with a very soft texture, and the "jade" of China is two different things at all.

On one side, there is a large cabinet with gold sealing, and the two doors are covered with gold skin, and the image of a wild goose is engraved on it: it has remained intact for more than 4,000 years, which is very magical.

Anyway, it's not his own thing, and he doesn't feel distressed if it's broken, Zhang Nan stepped forward and tried to open it, but its door was really open, and it wasn't even crooked.

It was a pharaoh's shoe cabinet, with two rows of leather sandals that had almost turned to ashes, but the general shape could still be discerned.

And the three pairs of shoes on the top floor have not been damaged by the passage of time, and they are as good as new: three pairs of the world's oldest flip-flops appeared in front of several people, still golden flip-flops!

"Isn't it uncomfortable to wear these shoes?"

Even if the gold is soft, the weight is ......

This is more than the two goods in India that put more than a dozen catties of heavy gold chains around their necks, and such flip-flops are worn on the body, so you must always be careful about wrestling, and by the way, you can train your leg muscles.

This effect is estimated to be similar to tying sandbags on the calves, a super tyrant-level, a good idea to show off your wealth.

William on the side also squatted down to take a closer look, "This pair of slippers should be worn by the pharaoh here, the soles seem to be worn......"

, really wear: It is said that the upper class of ancient Egypt has been wearing flip-flops since more than 5,000 years ago, and the weather is hot, so I don't know if there will be blood discord on the feet made of gold.

There are local tyrants wearing gold slippers on the black African side, but that is only a large amount of gold as a decoration on the upper, and the 250 that uses gold for the whole shoe has not heard of it.

Zhang Nan has a normal IQ, and he doesn't have a hobby of collecting other people's shoes, so he went to look at the two boxes on a wooden platform next to him.

It's not locked, and the lid isn't the flipping kind, but like a pot lid.

When I opened it, it was full of jewels.

Gold, turquoise, gemstones that can't be named......

Zhang Nan didn't move, except for a very few special jades, such as jade group pei, the jewelry from the tomb has never been collected.

Of course, at that time, those who could sell for money would never let go, but now it's not for money, so let these stay in the box.

As for whether the William Congress will take the sheep with its hands......

Zhang Nan still didn't care.

The other box was much larger, and when opened, there was a golden sway: several gold "necklaces", one of which was flat enough to cover the entire chest as armor!

There is also a piece of six gold chains, each of which is wearing dozens of small animal-shaped accessories, which is a bit creative.

Hang it on the neck, not the neck to bear the weight, it should be the shoulders: it should be hanging on both sides of the front and back of the chest, anyway, the ancient Egyptians men and women liked to play shirtless, so it was very imposing.

After thinking about it, he asked Guan Xingquan and the two: "Then do you want to take a note?"

Boss Guan didn't react, this is not interested, as for Lin Ming, he just shook his head.

Walked to the entrance and climbed up the folding ladder twice, "Charlie, do you want to get two pieces of jewelry?"

Don't kill Xiao Nizi!

Well, I'm a money-grubber.

Coming down from the ladder, I saw Guan Xingquan pull out something from a collapsed box at the bottom of the platform and hand it over, "I think you will like this thing." ”

An extremely beautiful dagger!

Try pumping it, it's bling!

It is a golden dagger, about 30 centimeters long, with a golden body, handle and scabbard, and an intricate beast motif carved on the scabbard, and a circle of glass and turquoise inlays on the handle as decorations......

Pretty!
