Out of the gate of the scenic spot, I saw a Chery taxi parked, shining against the backdrop of the desert sunset. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chery has an assembly plant in Egypt, and parts are shipped from China to be assembled and sold in Egypt.

Take a minibus to the town of Badrashein station just east of Sakkara. There is no order to buy tickets in a small town, and we have to follow the local customs and squeeze forward.

Spend time strolling around the train station and buying a few cans of beer to relax in a sleeper. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo couldn't hide things on their faces, looking around and searching, a little guy in a white shirt beckoned to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, pointing to the refrigerator next to him, and Yunluo asked, "Is there any beer?"

The little guy took out a can of drink that he didn't know what it was and said, "Ten dollars a bottle." Yunluo took it and looked at a lot of Arabic, and the packaging was quite like beer, "ten yuan and four cans".

The little guy has a hippie smile and shakes his head like a rattle, "eight pieces a can". "Ten dollars plus this," Yunluo took out two cans of beer and a bottle of Coke. People and ghosts pretend to lose their blood and money, "take away six dollars and a can". Bargaining is really not Yunluo's strong point, he got impatient first, took twenty Egyptian pounds and took five cans and walked back.

On the platform, several Egyptian GIs sat on benches, looking untidy and lazy. It was early on the hour, and there was no sign of the train. At about 9 o'clock in the evening, a group of backpackers loaded their bags on the bus, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finally got into the sleeper car bound for Aswan in Aswan.

This train is highly recommended and must be experienced. The absolute real-name system is only open to foreign tourists, and there is a soft sleeper box for two people. Although it looks shabby, the washbasin, vanity mirror, socket... In short, there is everything except the toilet. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, the attendants of this carriage, no, should be called waiters.

He is a middle-aged man with a gray beard, wearing glasses, wearing a gray plaid vest with a bow, and his meticulous appearance is quite a bit of classical London. Serve you to the table and dinner. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo each gave him a tip of a knife.

In the early years, the British Empire did not patronize the colonies to make money. It has really trained a lot of Indian first-class waiters. No, it's much stronger than Ah San, and Ah San in London has an inexplicable sense of superiority on his face that "I'm from the Commonwealth". The dinner was very hearty, and the taste was really not complimentary, although the packaging was like an in-machine meal. The taste is worlds apart.

For tomorrow, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo held back tears to sweep one away, for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, who can nibble on compressed biscuits on the snow mountain for several days in a row, it doesn't matter. However, it is recommended that you eat well in Cairo before getting on the bus. Quickly took out the beer to fill the taste in the mouth, opened the can and poured two sips, the taste was not bad.

Take a closer look at which production it is, a line of small English words fell into the eyeballs "non-alcoholic drink", fainted! After receiving dinner, the train attendant came to set up beds for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo again, which looked a little complicated. In fact, without the use of an additional tool, the two seats were turned into bunk beds.

The waiter made the bed and folded the quilt for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo without saying a word, and he couldn't see that he had nowhere to stay because he was full of bags and the smell of his stinky feet after a few days of running around caused him any disgust.

In the morning, the train attendant brought hot coffee and light meals. After making the bed again, Yunluo is quite accustomed to this kind of home-like life. The train has been running on the fertile fields of hope on the banks of the Nile. Arrived in Aswan at ten o'clock. Book a ticket back to Luxor the day after tomorrow, and it's much more civilized to buy tickets here.

Men and women are divided into two teams. Arriving in Aswan feels so comfortable, the sky is blue and the water is blue, everything looks more comfortable than the open, and there are a lot fewer tourists. It's easy to find and inexpensive places to live. Exit the station and go south along As-Souq for a mile to AL.

The reason why Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo chose to come to Aswan was mainly to experience the three-masted sailing ship Felluca. And go further south to Abu. Sinbail abusimbel.

Let the innkeeper help Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo contact a small sailing boat that will go to Seheylisland in the evening. Then I took a taxi to the bus station to see it tomorrow morning to Abu. Timetable for Simbel.

The rest of the day is to visit the Temple of Isis Fisis. The Temple of Isis was originally on the Philas of the island of Philae. After the construction of the Aswan Low Dam downstream in 1902, the water level rose. During the flood season, the temple of Isis on the island of Philae is half-sunk, and at that time, you have to rent a boat to visit the temple, and between the boats and the pillars of the temple cloister, the unique flavor is very hot.

Seventy years later, the United Nations did not treat itself as an outsider and felt distressed by the fact that the temple was soaked in water, and it took eight years to cut the temple and move it to the agilkiaislind on the island of Ajkia and reassemble it, taking advantage of the fact that the new dam had just been built.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo crossed the Aswan Low Dam to Shellal, and took a covered boat to the island of Ajkia, which is the Temple of Isis, with an entrance fee of 40 Egyptian pounds. Isis is a sad little widow with a lot of stories, and her husband is her eldest brother Osiris. That would be the fault of the royal nobles.

said that he had a strict family education, but in fact, he was a calf protector, and he didn't let outsiders see him when he played in his own family circle, and stinky hooligans like Dong Yong and Wan Xiliang, who specialized in climbing trees and climbing over walls to peek at people taking a bath, had no chance at all, so they dug out the dog's eyes on the spot. Osellis taught his subjects to farm and run boats, domesticated his subjects, and became the first pharaoh.

It is equivalent to the Shennong clan of the Yunluo Dynasty. Isis, her second brother, that is, her brother-in-law, Seth is greedy for money and lustful, and killed his eldest brother to usurp power and seize the throne, and his sister-in-law is his eldest sister-in-law. Isis's own son, her own nephew, Horus, is married by close relatives, you know, and is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The six relatives didn't recognize it, and they didn't blink, and their hands stabbed his own uncle, that is, his maternal uncle, to avenge the killing of his father, and there was no "be" entanglement at all. The sun god Amun thinks that this big family is good, the good ones are really good, the bad thieves are bad, like the Hong Kong and Taiwan soap operas, the plot is ups and downs, the characters are three-dimensional and plump, they are all available wizards, and they are all named gods.

The first courtyard of the temple is full of spectacular scenery, with two rows of intricately carved huge stone pillars, each with its own unique carving. The second courtyard is a mixture of buildings of various sects, such as the Natal Hall, a product of the reign of Ptolemaic, a Greek who became the emperor of Egypt, and his heart was very unsure.

This hall was built to confess to his subjects that he was the grandson of the sun god. During the Roman rule, they converted to Christianity and directly converted the hall into a chapel. When the Muslims came, they chopped and chopped with knives and axes, and many of the reliefs were unrecognizable. The French GIs came, carved crosses on the pillars, and wrote their names on them.

Stop by the Aswan High Dam, which is world-famous for its dam and was still the world's largest dam before the Three Gorges Dam was built. The dam is 110 meters high, and the upstream reservoir area is full of smoke and waves, and the Nile River, which flows down 3,000 feet, is just as quiet in the distance, like a dream.

The Nile River seems to divide an ancient dream into two dreams because of a dam, and people stand on the dam as if holding two different colors in their hands and dancing a dance of two heavens. Reminds Yunluo of the tula dance he saw on the Nile not long ago. As the music spins, the dancer's skirt flutters like a huge, colourful umbrella as the speed of the music increases.

When the speed turned to the highest point, the skirt was divided into two layers, and the upper layer slowly rose, like a waterfall, which was really ever-changing, like a dream.

Yunluo didn't know if the construction of the Aswan Dam was inspired by this ancient dance, but it was true that Yunluo felt a spin in the wind of the dam, and even produced a momentary meditation in a vertigo, fast, dreamlike drop: Yunluo was the dot.

Aswan is indeed a contemplative reflection on the economic benefits of Egypt as a result of the dam's construction, but it also comes at a cost, a kind of ancient hydrological rhythm of the Nile that was born in the Nile, and with the dam rising, the ancient civilization of 6,000 years ago actually ended in 1970 when the dam was raised.

The rhythm of the Nile is directly related to the current calendar, and around 4000 B.C., the Egyptians determined that the year was 365 days because of the Nile. In the Old Kingdom, when Sirius appeared on the horizon of Lower Egypt in the early morning, Sirius rose at the same time as the Sun – known in astronomy as "Rising Sun."

The Nile began to overflow. The time of the flood is very accurate, like clocks, and the ancient Egyptians called this day the first day of the year. At that time, the priests who observed the celestial phenomena kept their eyes on the eastern horizon in the early morning, just to find Sirius. "Ah, Sirius and the sun appeared at the same time!"

"A new year has begun!" When Sirius was seen rising, the tall, thin, dark-faced, pointed-nosed priest was lifted in spirit, and soon the news spread from Lower Egypt to Upper Egypt, and then throughout Egypt.

At that time, most of the crops on both sides of the Nile should have been harvested, but they should have been cleared again; The signs used to survey the boundary should be buried, but they should be checked again, and then wait quietly for the mighty waters of the Nile to come with the fertile soil.

Unlike the Yellow River, the Indus River, and the Euphrates, which also gave birth to ancient civilizations, the Nile flooded with great regularity, and the ancient Egyptians quickly mastered when the floods came and went back each year. Each flood brings with it a thick layer of silt, which makes the land fertile in the valley and allows crops to be harvested three times a year.

However, after the flood, all the boundaries of the land were submerged, and the redefinition of land boundaries required precise surveying, so a special class of land surveyors was created in Egypt, and these land surveyors were the originators of modern cartography. (To be continued)
