The reason why a fake is here is because he is a key to solving the mystery of Egyptian history, and the French archaeologist Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt through three words on the stone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Rosetta Stone, the key to unlocking the mystery of ancient Egyptian civilization, with three words on it.

After reading it all, Yunluo thought that the most impressive thing must be Tutankhamun's gold funerary goods. Tutankhamun may not have done much, his biggest thing is to bury it well. Since his burial place was underneath the cemetery of another pharaoh in the Valley of the Kings, thus saving him from tomb theft. And the best of his funeral goods is probably his gold mask, if you look closely and carefully, you will definitely admire the fineness of his craftsmanship: every inch of muscle on his face is so real, down to the corners of his eyes, eye sockets, cheekbones, mouth, and chin angles, all like real people, and even the texture of the skin can be felt on the gold. The young pharaoh died suddenly for unknown reasons, and his golden mask is now on display in the museum, watching the people come and go every day.

Due to the time difference, today was actually stretched out by 6 hours for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. It was only about 3 p.m. when they left the museum, and according to the plan, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were supposed to take the 8:15 p.m. train to Aswan, the southernmost city in Egypt. So Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were arranged to go to a papyrus painting shop and a □ supermarket to shop. If you don't care about the price of the real thing, you can consider buying it back as a souvenir, after all, it is one of the most representative cultural goods in Egypt. However, you must bargain, the original price is often hundreds of thousands of Egyptian pounds, and basically 1/3 of the original price is cut down and it feels that it is not a big problem. After buying it, the salesman will not forget to ask you for cool oil and ballpoint pens. They love these little things made in China. The salesman of the papyrus painting shop was showing Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo how to make it, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo bought this one.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the Giza train station at about 6 o'clock, and it was a long time since they had seen such a simple and dilapidated train station. In fact, there is nothing disparaging about this, and many people who have traveled to Egypt also feel that they do not like that some people belittle and complain about the development of Egypt. Because there's fun in it. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had to wait until 8:15 at the train station, and it was said that it was normal for the train to be delayed by 1 or 2 hours...... Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo sat on the ground and started to kill the Three Kingdoms, but the train didn't come when they were tired of killing. Later, I felt like I had come to work, confused and waiting for the train to my destination in an unfamiliar city.

Picture description: Railway station platform Shooting location: Giza finally arrived at 9 o'clock, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo waited. Sleeper cars are one room for every two people. This is actually much better than the domestic sleeper cars, although the place is relatively narrow. You can use water, dinner and breakfast on the train, but there is no way to take a shower, and it is really depressing to not be able to take a shower after a day of tossing in hot weather. The dinner was really not flattering, the chicken was hard to bite, and Yunluo began to wonder if the best meal on the entire Egyptian trip would be the box meal of Egyptian Airlines.

Since the day was stretched out for no reason, I was very tired when I got on the train, and I was going to sleep after eating and simply cleaning up. But this air conditioner is really cold. It's useless to adjust the temperature. Yunluo's bed was still a little damp. It's very uncomfortable. However, they were too tired, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo quickly fell asleep. It is expected that the next morning, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo will reach the southernmost part of Egypt.

It would be better if you could visit the pyramid in the afternoon, the sunset of the pyramid is spectacular, and it is said that there is a sound and light show in the evening. In the pyramid scenic area, camel riders, people who help you take pictures, people who want to take pictures with you, and small vendors, it is said that it is best to ignore them, and the possibility of being hacked is relatively high.

If there is an opportunity to go to Egypt on your own. Be sure to spend more time at the museum. However, since most of the cultural relics do not have a written introduction, it is necessary to do your homework in advance. And you can explain it there.

The traffic in Cairo is really bad, the traffic jam is serious, and it is not a style of traffic jam, there are no lane markings here, and the cars are crossing and interspersing on the road, which is more chaotic. But very few people honked their horns.

The toilets in Egyptian scenic spots are charged, generally 1 Egyptian pound, and it is sometimes okay to give cool oil, but the toilet is free of charge in the place where you eat. You have to bargain when you buy something, and so do the shops that the tour group takes with you. But supermarkets and the like don't have to be cut.

The train was unsurprisingly 2 hours late. It was already about 10 a.m. when we arrived in Aswan. Aswan was a quarry in ancient times, swan is the name of a locally produced stone, and a (a) is a prefix in Arabic, which is where this place name comes from.

When you arrive in Aswan, the first thing you feel is that it's hot! The high temperature in Aswan in midsummer reaches forty or fifty degrees, as if there is a fire everywhere you go, and you regret wearing short sleeves, and the cat will be cool in long sleeves and long pants, because it can block the sun. Near the train station, I saw women walking with things on their heads, and many people in Egypt transported things like this, and they had a great sense of balance.

After leaving the Aswan Railway Station, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went directly to the first scenic spot - the Aswan Dam. There are several outposts along the way, as it seems to be a military zone. The Nile floods once a year, and the original Egyptians were not allowed to do agricultural work during the Nile's flooding. The Aswan Dam, the Nile's uppermost dam in Egypt, solves the problem of Nile flooding and electricity for the whole of Egypt, but it is also under threat that if the Aswan Dam is destroyed, Egypt will be submerged within 16 hours.

On the way to the dam, passing the old Aswan Dam, the car clicked and the glass caused a white arc to form on the photo.

The Aswan Dam is the third largest dam in the world, the first being the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. Coincidentally, while bringing economic benefits, both are facing the problem of the relocation of more than 100,000 people and the submersion of cultural relics. The same thing is that both started and completed construction under such problems. I'm afraid no one can tell the pros and cons.

The dam was built during the reign of President Nasser, so the artificial lake created by the dam is called Lake Nasser, and it is at the bottom of this lake that may have submerged many temples, large and small. The blue waters of the lake, reflecting the oasis behind it and the desert not far away, make for a wonderful view of life and death coexisting.

Some of the temples flooded by the Aswan Dam have also been "rescued", the most famous of which is the Temple of Abu Simbel, followed by the Temple of Philae. The Egyptians cut the temple into large stones, marked them with numbers, and then moved them to their destination to rebuild. It is said that the cost was too great for the Egyptian government to repay the loan, so it directly gave some of the demolished temples to the lending countries to pay off the debt. I don't know whether to say that I don't pay attention to it or whether I should say that it doesn't matter.

The temple of Philae was originally on one island, but after moving to another island, it was necessary to take a boat to get there. It is characterized by a mix of three periods - a temple from the Pharaonic period and a temple from the Roman period, and most of them are Ptolemaic buildings. The pier to the temple, where there are occasional water birds, is more lively.

It should be said that this is the first time Yunluo has come into contact with the real meaning of the temple (there is also a temple opposite the Sphinx, but because it is from the ancient dynastic period, there is basically no too much decoration, and it is difficult to preserve it well), and the murals of the temple are very Egyptian and full of religious colors. The ancient Egyptians believed in polytheism, and the sun god was the supreme god. The legend of the Temple of Philae is the place where Isis, the god of life, resurrected Ulices, the god of death, who was killed by his brother Seth, the god of evil, and gave birth to Herus, the god of revenge, so most of the murals are related to this mythological story.

It is very comfortable to walk in the temple, and since on the island, a breeze blows from time to time on the surface of the lake. The towering stone pillars are full of historical majesty and vicissitudes, and the light and shadow between the stone pillars witness the turn of time day after day. The front of the temple is a bit special, and the tower gate is obscured a little by the colonnade.

One of the most famous frescoes on the façade of the tower gate shows the god Horus wearing the crown of the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt. Inside the temple, the lights also set off the atmosphere very well - with the lights, there is basically no need for a flashlight.

The obelisk is a kind of stone monument used for commemorative purposes in ancient Egypt, and the stele tens of meters high is completely a single stone, and it is difficult to imagine how this stone was carved out and erected. Fortunately, the quarry in Aswan left an unfinished obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, and people were able to understand the reason.

The obelisk is a stone that has been dug out of the mountain, and it is easy to do around the stone, just dig it directly, but the problem is how to separate the obelisk from the ground. The ancient Egyptians carved small holes in the stone, then stuffed it with wood chips, and then poured hot water every day, and the wood expanded to separate the stone from the ground. Then, when the Nile floods, the stones are transported to their destination, and the obelisk is erected by digging a pit at the bottom of the obelisk, placing sand on the top, and pulling it by manpower.

This unfinished obelisk has to be said to be a historical pity, because if it were completed, it would be the tallest obelisk in Egypt and would belong to the only female pharaoh in Egyptian history. But because it was too big and the material selection problem, it was damaged before it was completed, and you can see several deep cracks on the upside-down stone. However, it is precisely because of this regret that people are able to learn about the practice of the obelisk, which may be considered a kind of luck.

The obelisk is really sunburned here, the temperature is 45 degrees, there is no shelter, and the sun can be seen from the direction of the shadow, and it feels like the whole person is about to be roasted. This large stone is an obelisk, and deep cracks can be seen.

It is said that Egypt is a gift from the Nile, and it is true, the ancient Egyptians lived around the Nile and relied on the Nile for their agriculture, which gave birth to a glorious culture until now. (To be continued.) )
