“... I think that guy asked me for help, not only because of money, but also because even if he made a major discovery this time, the name was there, but it would not be profitable for a penny.

Now Egypt stipulates that cultural relics before 1883, whether unearthed or not, as long as they are newly discovered, are not even allowed to be transported out of Egypt for research, exhibition, or even private possession without the special approval of their Ministry of Culture or even the Prime Minister.

Legally, neither Egyptians nor foreigners are allowed to own, buy, sell, and collect any newly discovered artifacts created after 1884 in this country. ”

In the back compartment, Zhang Nan and Charlize Theron sat in a leather chair in front of the table, and one side was separated by a narrow aisle was a cupboard, and there was a small window on it.

The view on the side of the dining table is very good, and there is an openable window with a length of 1.5 meters and a height of more than 50 centimeters.

It takes a little effort to open the window, because the glass is bulletproof, thick enough and heavy!

When they set off today, because Zhang Nan and Charlie chose an RV, Boss Guan took care of himself and sat in the co-pilot position in front of him: the girl was too tired of Zhang Nan, and he was too lazy to sit opposite the two, so as not to affect his brain circuit.

Charlize Theron would find it a little strange when she heard about Egypt's regulations on cultural relics.

"Is this possible?"

This is Egypt!

You also let the Taobao customers play happily.

Zhang Nan smiled, "In 83, Egypt's new cultural relics management law stipulates that it is a bit strict, and the original collection must also be registered."

However, the law is always the law, and the actual problem still depends on the reality, and it is impossible to achieve it at all, and the law that is divorced from the reality is a joke!"

How could such strict laws be fully enforced in Egypt?

You lied to the mummy!

......

It took an hour to get to the 70-kilometer road, and the road condition was OK, and the airport was in the northeast corner of Cairo, on the east bank of the Nile, which was a bit far away.

The convoy drove away from the green Nile valley along a fork in the road, just as it had in Sudan, where the dividing line between irrigated farmland and desert was like a knife.

It's very eye-catching, and as soon as the steering wheel turns, it goes into the desert.

With this turn, Charlize Theron saw the desert wasteland ahead, and...

"Pyramid!"

In the distance, just four or five hundred meters away, a pyramid appeared in view.

Seeing Charlie, who was a little yelling and standing up, Zhang Nan pressed her back to her seat, "Beware of flying out!"

It was the 'Black Pyramid', built by the Pharaoh Amenemhet III of the Twelfth Dynasty, and it had already collapsed, and what you see is the core of the point.

Our target is to the west, where there is the 'Curved Pyramid', and to the northwest is the 'Red Pyramid', which is the earliest true pyramid, and the newly discovered pyramid ruins are on the triangular diagonal of the two old pyramids to the west. ”

The road conditions are not very good, the speed of the convoy is not slow, and Li Panfeng, who is driving, is driving an off-road bulletproof RV with first-class performance, and it is not necessary that people may fly out if they are standing in the carriage.

Dirt bikes don't mean you're all set, they're great off-road performance, but only if you're in the seat!

The real pyramid, Charlie knows what it means, Zhang Nan told her before: The red pyramid more than two kilometers away is the mausoleum of the pharaoh Snifrlu of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, and it is also the first real pyramid in the world and the third largest pyramid in Egypt, second only to the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Kafra in Giza.

The pyramids before the Sinifru era were all stepped shaped, so it was not a "gold" character, and the "real pyramid" was probably the special name of the Chinese people.

As for the curved pyramid that was also built by Sinifrous and earlier than the Red Pyramid, it is not a "real pyramid", because the pyramid with an original height of 105 meters was bent in the middle, and the angle suddenly changed when the tower body exceeded half of the height, from 52 degrees to 43.5 degrees, which also made the shape of the entire pyramid bend, and it looked a little similar to the Chinese tomb from a distance.

It is very strange, and it is not open to tourists now, and archaeologists believe that the reason for this unique shape is a lack of preparation.

Halfway through the construction of the pyramid, the architects feared that if they continued to build at this slope, the tower might collapse because it could not bear the weight of the entire structure, and it would be more than 200 meters high!

Instead, you had to change the slope of the side walls halfway through, resulting in a unique curved pyramid.

There is also speculation that the reason why Snifrul built three pyramids in one go during the Fourth Dynasty (and even thinks that a fourth was built) was because he was extremely dissatisfied with the way the curved pyramids looked!

“... Some people think that the pharaoh liked to innovate, and the first pyramid he built was not here, in the Majdhumen, the construction was initially a traditional stepped pyramid, and later the steps were filled in to form a pyramid with a corner pyramid, which became the template for later pyramids.

However, because it was filled in later, it is not the first 'real pyramid'. The second is the Curved Pyramid and the third is the Red Pyramid, which is now believed to be the location of the real tomb of Snefró.

However, it is empty, and some people think that there is a secret room in the red pyramid that has not been found, but that William may give us a new explanation. ”

There is a military blockade in front, the convoy is temporarily stopped, that is, to go through the motions, there are many Egyptian army facilities in the desert on the southwest side of the three pyramids that have been contacted before, and this archaeological operation is also limited in scope, and it is not allowed to run around.

Soon, the convoy started again, and through a barbed wire fence, the Black Pyramid was two or three hundred meters away.

Charlize Theron looked at the nearby pyramid and said, "It's so dark!"

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Of course you are not as white as you." ”

The girl gave her brother a hygienic eye, and Zhang Nan stopped teasing him, "It doesn't use pure stone, but also uses a lot of mud bricks."

It's been 3,800 years, it's strange that it doesn't collapse, and this color is also easy to turn black, not as beautiful as the red pyramid of granite over there.

In two days, if we have time, we will go to Giza to see the Great Pyramids. ”

Girls like to look strange, the big pyramid over there in Giza will be more shocking, but the visual impact here is actually not small, the red pyramid and the curved pyramid were originally more than 100 meters high, plus the state of preservation is very good, it looks spectacular.

Even the smallest Black Pyramid in this area should have been 75 meters high, and although it has collapsed, it still looks magnificent.

"There is also an underground labyrinth from the Middle Kingdom period nearby, just next to the Black Pyramid, which is generally not open to the public, but this trip can take you to see it. ”

Girls look out the window, it's always so fun when she's with her brother, and...

Warm.
