As soon as you reach the tomb door along the tomb road, you can see that the tomb door is about one meter and five wide, and it is open, and there is a pair of ordinary looking doorknobs inlaid in the middle, and the grass ropes wrapped around it are basically still there, and the mud bricks outside the door are only 20 centimeters - desert, for the ancient tomb, the preservation conditions are really good!

There were ancient Egyptian-style hieroglyphs on the door, and Zhang Nan once again felt the distress of "no culture": what he saw was a ghost drawing, and he didn't understand it at all!

"You girl, you won't be a few hundred years late to replace Lao Tzu with Mero Evan, so that no one will be embarrassed!"

The heart is full of malice!

Playing antiques, archaeology, and tomb robbery is a very sad thing if you don't have some culture, and it's uncomfortable to be blind, especially when there is a knowledgeable expert on the side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What's worse is that my own woman is also there, and if I make people look illiterate at this time, it will be ugly.

Poor language and writing is trouble, but fortunately, Adjani next to her can use English proficiently, otherwise she would have to pull Boss Guan to be the translator when she fell in love with her?

The picture is too beautiful to think.

complained in my heart, but the technology of pretending to be stupid and stunned in two lifetimes is like fire and pure love, and you can't be a layman at a critical moment, and you have to show a little level.

looked at the tomb door very confidently and said: "Another new Meroe Dynasty emperor, it should be early." ”

William Brin on the side is an academic scholar, and after living for a long time, he didn't even see that Zhang Nan was pretending to be a garlic clove.

I agree with Zhang Nan's opinion, "Well, although there is no document, it can now be basically determined that this is a pyramid in the early days of the Meroe Dynasty of the Kush Kingdom, when the country was strong..."

How did Zhang Nan tell that this was a pyramid in the early days of the dynasty?

The reason is simple: text.

This is an Egyptian hieroglyph, which was taken from ancient Egypt by the Kush kingdom for more than 2,000 years, but in the middle and late Meroe dynasty of the Kush kingdom, the hieroglyphs were gradually replaced by a new pinyin script created by the Meroe.

These have been discovered and confirmed in previous archaeological work.

There is a kingdom of Kush that has only its name in the historical records, and no one knows why this once powerful country rose or died......

Taking advantage of the laborers' efforts to clean up the last part of the mud bricks and numbers, Zhang Nantong looked at his Adjani with adoring eyes and told some stories, "...... Around 2500 B.C., when the growing power of ancient Egypt expanded southward, they encountered Kush for the first time and fought each other a few times!

It is estimated that the ancient Egyptians were a little confused at that time, just like someone originally wanted to make the back garden bigger, and thought that there was a wilderness outside that no one cared about.

As a result, I suddenly found that there was a wicked neighbor outside the back garden, and both sides looked at each other unpleasantly, so they rolled up their sleeves and went on!

This is all fought, and the ancient Egyptians knew that on this land, there was an unknown powerful country in the upper reaches of the Nile, which made them very unhappy, very unhappy!

The Nubians of the Kush kingdom are the same, and they want to beat up their northern neighbors who come to make trouble: You are a cow downstream?

If you don't allow others to snore on the side of the couch, then fight!

On both sides, it's going to die!

A dozen is to fight for more than a thousand years, between the estimated winners and losers, from the Kush Kingdom twice moved the capital can be seen that the ancient Egyptians 4,000 years ago were still very fierce.

However, the ancient Egyptians were not having a good time, and the past thousand years were enough to destroy the country dozens of times in other places.

Seven or eight hundred years before the Nubians completely defeated the 24th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty ruled by the Nubians, Thebes in ancient Egypt should have been conquered by the Kush Kingdom.

It should have been around 3,500 years ago, and during that time, in the tombs of many kings of the Kush Kingdom, there were a lot of items that could only be used by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, which should have been the trophies of the Kush Kingdom in the war..."

Speaking of this, William Breen, who was also listening, said: "Mr. Allen's judgment is very reasonable, and I think so on this point.

But alas, at present, from the perspective of hard work, we can only guess that there was such a war that was almost annihilated, because there is no record of it on the ancient Egyptian side, as for Kush..."

William could only shake his head: a country thousands of years ago with only a name, there was no hope.

Now Adjani really admires Zhang Nan a little: a senior professor at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the authorities on ancient Egyptian culture in the West agrees, and his little man is not exactly here to play as he said.

Zhang Nan just smiled and didn't say much: the Kush Kingdom once captured Thebes and took ancient Egypt 3,500 years ago Only he knows for the time being, because the war that broke out between the two countries can almost be called an "ancient war", and the conflict has been fought for too long, and the historical truth has long been buried in the dust of history by a long time and yellow sand.

There is a gap in the literature, and it will take 14 years to solve this speculation and obtain direct evidence.

In 2003, archaeologists found a mysterious stone tablet with hieroglyphs written about 3,500 years ago in an ancient tomb in ancient Egypt, which recorded a previously unknown history and a fierce battle between ancient Egypt and the Kush kingdom.

At that time, Kush's army and the Allied forces invaded ancient Egypt in the north, and a large part of ancient Egypt was occupied, including Thebes, of course.

According to the inscription, the people of ancient Egypt rose up to resist at that time, and an ancient Egyptian prince gave an impassioned speech before organizing this counterattack against foreign invasion.

The inscription on the inscription records part of the prince's speech at that time: "All those who are still alive listen to the invasion of the Kushemen, who have occupied the Wawat tribe, Pont and Medja, and the country has reached its most critical moment......"

However, the stele says: Although the people united against the Nubians who started the war, it was of little use and ended in defeat.

And the inscription directly refers to this war as "a war unprecedented since God created the world."

Perhaps the ashamed ancient Egyptians were ashamed to record this disastrous and almost devastating war, and later simply erased all records of this war from the history books!

However, combined with the records of the stele, it was found that after the Kush Kingdom defeated ancient Egypt, it was not interested in the land and government of ancient Egypt, only focused on gold and wealth, and only searched for all kinds of gold jewelry and jewelry in ancient Egypt and left.

However, a few hundred years later, when the Nubians reoccupied Egypt, they became pharaohs themselves.

Two days ago, Zhang Nan and Adjani talked a lot about the history of the Kush Kingdom, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable if they didn't even know a little bit about the historical background.

At least before 2000 B.C., this Kush civilization had begun to take shape, otherwise it would not have had the strength to fight ancient Egypt for thousands of years.

The entire Kush civilization can be roughly divided into three stages: the "Kelmai Stage" between about 2000 BC and 760 BC, the "Napata Stage" between 760 BC and 530 BC, and the "Meroe Stage" between 530 BC and 350 BC.

When the French Rose asked the professor how to distinguish the approximate time of the tomb, William said: "The hieroglyphs used here are ancient Egyptians, and during the Meroite dynasty of the Kush kingdom, the Kush people had already begun to use a script of their own making, called Meroewen.

It is a set of phonetic alphabets designed in the Egyptian Sacred and Folk scripts, which may have been used to spell the Meroe language of the Meroe dynasty or the Nubian language of the Nubian kingdom.

In this area, the artifacts that appeared in the pyramids of the middle and late periods basically appeared in the Meroe script, as long as the early ones were hieroglyphs.

Meroewen was only identified in 1909, and unfortunately, the language itself has barely been deciphered. ”

Hearing this, Adjani was a little puzzled and asked William, "Didn't you say that you had already recognized?"

Zhang Nan took over the topic, so as not to embarrass the professor by a layman, "Lisa, this recognition is to distinguish this is a concept of words, not the meaning of full understanding."

There are so many words that have disappeared into history, some of them have been deciphered by modern people, but just like today's hieroglyphs, latecomers have deciphered its meaning and made a set of pronunciations, but who knows how they read these words thousands of years ago?

It's useless to have phonetic transcription, there was no tape recorder thousands of years ago..."

How do you read the previous text?

Adjani really didn't think about this question, it would be a bit of a sudden realization, "Leonardo da Vinci drew an egg, even the ancient Egyptians knew it was an egg when they saw it, but it is possible to read it as a watermelon, or it may be called celery, or even a stone, but it is actually an egg." ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said with a smile: "Yes, this means, just like catfish, the names of various countries and places are very different, but in fact, it refers to catfish."

Therefore, today's people so-called cracking the ancient lost text, at most they know what it means, and as for the pronunciation, at most they go to Meng. ”

At this point, as an archaeological outsider and a veteran of the film industry, Adjani suddenly thought of something: "What ancient Egyptian documents are read by someone in the movie are all nonsense, I mean reading, not the kind of interpretation that means." ”

Zhang Nan and William both smiled and nodded, "That's it, if anyone can read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, it must be made up." ”

This reminded Zhang Nan of the Hollywood "Mummy" series of movies that were later box office hits, and what "Death Sutra" can be read in ancient Egyptian language to resurrect people and regenerate mummies is completely nonsense.

If you really read it, those mummies won't understand what you're reading at all, and they'll think that the actors are selling salted duck eggs there.

Movies are just brain-opening stuff, nonsense!

Zhang Nan finished tearing the three, and the tomb door had been cleaned up.

Zhang Nan told Adjani to wait to the back, and William Brin untied the straw rope from the doorknob.

The camera made a record, and the archaeological team used a crowbar to pry open a crack in the door, and Chen Hao, who was wearing a protective suit, had already stuffed the detection head of the nuclear, biological and chemical detector into it, as well as the industrial endoscope.

Soon, Zhang Nan, who was standing on the tomb road, heard Chen Hao's report: "The radiation is normal, there is no chemical and biological pollution, there are very trace amounts of harmful gases, and there is no danger after ventilation." ”

Then get ready to open the door.
