The black professor pointed to the photograph with the hieroglyphs engraved on it, and said, "Do you know the inscription of the stele? This is it, although they are not the first modern people to discover these words, but they are the earliest to write with a camera." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

More than 5,000 years ago, hieroglyphs, or Egyptian scripts, appeared in ancient Egypt.

Egyptian script is considered to be the oldest and longest-used script in the world, dating from the earliest hieroglyphs on the joint plates of Pharaoh Namer's armor and still in use in Egyptian churches today.

This kind of writing was once considered to be the 'writing of the gods', so it was called the 'god tablet style'.

"The ancient Egyptians believed that their writing was created by Tut, the god of the moon and the god of computing and learning, which is very similar to the legend of the Chinese Cangjie who created characters. Professor Lewis said.

Li Du subconsciously continued: "Cangjie makes words, the sky is raining, the ghosts cry at night, the creation can't hide its secrets, and the spirits can't hide its shape......"

Hans looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he was talking about.

Professor Lewis smiled and said, "Are you Chinese?"

Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, please continue, I couldn't help but sigh when I heard you introduce Cangjie to make characters." ”

"There's really not much to say, it's just that these photographs contain some of the earliest hieroglyphs, and I think it's valuable for scientific research," Professor Lewis said. ”

Hans asked tentatively, "Is there any information contained in these hieroglyphs, such as the pharaoh's treasure?"

The black professor smirked, "Have you ever seen anyone carve treasure information into the wall of their house? The ancient Egyptians had long mastered the method of making papyrus, and even if there was any valuable information, they would hide it there." ”

Hearing this, Li Du's brows jumped, and he remembered the papyrus he had collected.

However, the words on the papyrus were not hieroglyphics, otherwise he would have thought about them when he saw them.

Hans asked, "These pictures are quite famous, aren't they?"

Professor Lewis nodded, "Yes, he took a total of thousands of photos at that time, and more than half of them are still missing." ”

"The value of these photographs is in the hieroglyphs on them?" Hans asked again.

The professor pondered for a moment and said, "Not only the words, but in fact, these photos show the changes of history, but also reflect a person's beliefs. ”

"It's admirable that just 20 years after the birth of photography, Malsim risked his life to shoot for long periods of time in the heart of the desert. ”

Li Du couldn't understand this belief, he said: "This is simply looking for death. ”

The professor laughed, "Yes, Malsim's friend Flaubert said so in his essay. But through their efforts, people have gained a better understanding of the region, which was then being bullied by barbaric culture and on the eve of industrialization. ”

Hans clicked on the album and said, "So, how much are you willing to pay for them?"

The professor said, "Just like I said on the phone, I can take all the four thousand yuan a piece." ”

Hans shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, but the text on these pictures has never been published......"

As he said this, two black youths grinned.

Professor Lewis beckoned, "Show it to Mr. Fox." ”

One of the youths opened a tablet and put it in front of them, with some pictures on it.

Hans and Lidu slid and then saw familiar buildings and words.

The two of them compared the photos on the computer, and they were exactly the same as some of the photos in their hands.

"Actually, these photographs once belonged to our Faculty of History Museum, but they were lost during an exhibition," Professor Lewis said. My student had seen these photos before, so he recognized them at a glance when he saw them online. ”

Hans blinked, and now the biggest reliance on bargaining was gone.

However, he still had a hard mouth: "Even if you have read these words, we only have the originals in our hands, each for 6,000 yuan, and all of them can be sold to you." ”

Professor Lewis smiled: "Four thousand yuan is a very suitable price, if it were not for the relationship between it and our school, we would not have paid such a high price!"

Hans looked at Li Du, who shrugged and said, "Return things to their rightful owners, we have to respect knowledge." ”

"Okay, that's four thousand dollars a piece, and to be honest, I don't want to use knowledge to bargain. ”

A young black man was disgusted by the conversation between the two: Nima respects knowledge and uses it to make money?

Professor Lewis said: "Give me the album, we have a total of forty photographs, and I have to identify them one by one." ”

Li Du snickered and said in a low voice: "Your dream of being a profiteer has been shattered. ”

The three quickly selected forty valuable photographs from the album, and returned the remaining twenty-four landscape drawings to the two.

"I think these pictures are also antiques, are you interested?" asked Hans cheekily.

Professor Lewis waved his hand and said, "Sorry, we're not interested......"

"Twenty-four for two thousand!" interrupted Hans, "I can assure you that these pictures will be valuable!"

Professor Lewis shook his head hesitantly, and Hans immediately quoted again: "A thousand dollars!"

The professor thought about it for a moment, and finally said, "Well, they may be useful to my friends in the geography industry, after all, they describe the geography of Egypt half a century ago. ”

Li Du was stunned and said, "Do you know the information of these photos?"

A black student laughed: "They were all lost together, and they were all things from the Egyptian cultural exhibition at that time." ”

I came to Tucson City and got 161,000 yuan, although the journey was tiring, but I did gain a lot.

Both parties pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other, and then part happily.

Walking out of the café, Hans kicked on the trash can and shouted, "Shet, Shet, Shet! Thank God!"

Li Du smiled: "It's not the first time we've made this money, are we so excited?"

Hans said, "You think I'm excited that we've made money? No, I'm excited that we can join the 100,000 Club!"

Li Du was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the profit of the new book was 39,000 yuan, plus the 161,000 yuan this time, just one person could get 100,000 yuan.

In addition, their ivory was sold for 209,000 yuan before, and they had the experience of earning 100,000 yuan in a single warehouse auction twice, and according to the regulations, they could join the 100,000 club.

Thinking about this, Li Du also became happy and said, "No wonder you had to sell those photos for a thousand yuan just now, but damn it, we are still short of a hundred yuan?!"

New books earned 39,000 yuan, but second-hand books cost 100 yuan, and they made 160,000 yuan.

Hans grinned, "But we still have a bunch of old books that we haven't disposed of, and they can't sell for a hundred dollars?
