Chapter 273: Seven Wonders [2]

"The Seven Wonders of Antiquity are completely displayed here, and this place, if it can be moved, then the people who own it will be rich. This is indeed an amazing fortune. Yang Wubing sighed, his words made Zhang Wufeng and the others very surprised.

Because no one knows anything here, but Yang Wubing recognizes it, which is not shocking.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Encai and Zhao Dongsong, who think that this is some kind of ancient ruins or something, can't help but be a little disappointed.

"Mentor, do you know this place?" Li Lu asked curiously.

"Well, of course I know, the Seven Wonders of Ancient Civilization, don't you all know this?" Yang Wubing asked strangely.

Li Lu and the others immediately lowered their heads in shame, and Zhang Wufeng was even more embarrassed, Zhang Wufeng was extremely ignorant of this knowledge, and he had never even heard of the Sphinx before, so he also blushed a little when he heard this.

"Mentor, I know the pyramids." Li Lu blushed and stuck out her tongue.

Yang Wubing smiled and said: "Most of the seven wonders of ancient civilizations have been destroyed, but they are the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Statue of Zeus of Olympia, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum of Mosolasky, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of the Sun God of Rhodes. ”

Hearing this, Yang Encai said a little strangely: "Mentor, is the garden there the Hanging Garden of Babylon?" But it doesn't seem to be in the air. ”

When Yang Wubing heard this, he suddenly laughed and said: "This is not really a garden in the sky, of course the hanging garden of Babylon is not suspended in the air, the origin of this name is due to the mistranslation of the original Greek word 'kremastos' and the Latin word 'pensilis', (in addition to 'hanging' also has the meaning of 'prominent') as 'hanging in the air'. It is believed that the Hanging Gardens were built by King Nebuezzar II (604-562 BC) to comfort her homesick princess Amyitis, modeled after her home on the hills. It is said that slaves turned a mechanism to pump large quantities of water from the Euphrates River below to irrigate the flowers and plants in the hanging gardens......"

Hearing this explanation, Yang Encai and the others suddenly realized.

"The reason why everything here is the wealth of the country is because whether it is the hanging gardens of Barlumby or the colossus of the sun god of Rhode Island, these are all things that have not been discovered until now. But there's there, and there's a definite presence, you know what that means? ”

Yang Wubing said very seriously.

"What does this mean?" Zhao Dongsong asked subconsciously.

Yang Encai immediately rolled his eyes, while Li Lu and Han Lisha covered their mouths and laughed, and Zhao Dongsong suddenly looked embarrassed.

This means, of course, a lot of things, the most obvious of which is that it can be judged that the Hanging Gardens of Barencby and the Colossus of Rhodes did not disappear at the time of the appearance of the Tangut Tombs, so many things can be argued. And the existence of the Barron Hanging Gardens and the Colossus of Rhode Island can also prove a lot of things, at least some of the secrets of these two things can be found out. I'm not a major either, but I know that these things are just as important as finding dinosaur bones or dinosaur cubs right now for my argument. ”

Yang Wubing thought about it and said, he also felt that this importance was no longer something that could be understood in just a few words.

"Well, mentor, I see. In other words, if these ruins are exposed, it will definitely cause turmoil in the world! Zhao Dongsong said after thinking about it seriously.

"It's a possibility." Yang Wubing said contemplatively.

"Mentor, is there a gold brick on the ground?" Yang Encai stepped on the ground, the crisp sound was very clear, and it seemed very quiet in this huge space.

In the distance, the light from the Pressure Hill Lighthouse was so bright that the whole square did not appear dark.

"BRICS? None of these things matter, and since you're here, I'm going to take you around. Yang Wubing thought about it and said in a relaxed tone.

Zhang Wufeng didn't say anything at this time, and his crystal power didn't escape, but just surrounded Yang Wubing and the other five people, shrinking into a small range.

"Hmm." Yang Encai nodded subconsciously, his eyes staring at the gold bricks on the ground, as if he wanted to dig up a few pieces and put them on his body to bring back to make a fortune.

"Yang Encai, if you are short of money, I will give it to you when you go out. Don't think too much about the things here, if you don't do it, you'll lose your life. Zhang Wufeng said softly, he happened to walk with Yang Encai, so his words were not serious, and Zhao Dongsong and the others did not hear this.

When Yang Encai heard this, his body shook, and then he lowered his head and said: "Brother Zhang, I will definitely not do this again, I just don't want my parents to work outside to earn money for me, they work hard to save money to buy me a house and marry a daughter-in-law......"

Yang Encai replied in a low voice, and his mood suddenly became a little low.

"It's okay, I'll protect you when you go back." Zhang Wufeng comforted.

"This is the pyramids of Egypt, you should all know this. The Great Pyramids on the banks of the Nile are the tombs of the ancient Egyptian kings themselves. It is said that the large and small pyramids in Egypt totaled nearly the Sixth Dynasty. Some of the 4,000-year-old pyramids are mainly located in the capital and on the west bank of the Nile. The pyramid of Jiza, which belongs to King Kafra on the left and King Kufu on the right, is accompanied by a sphinx......

In the center of the pyramid there is a burial chamber, which can be accessed from the corridor, and several large stones weighing tens of tons are stacked on the top of the burial chamber. The built pyramid was used as a mausoleum. The ancient Egyptians believed in eternal life after death, and the tombs inside the pyramids were initially filled with gold and various valuables......

There are 80 existing pyramids in Egypt, the largest of which is the Pyramid of Gizza, built around 2600 BC, all of which were built by hand. How did the ancient Egyptians carve the rocks and build the tombs? The layout of the internal passages and chambers of the mausoleum is like a labyrinth, how did the ancient Egyptians build it? So far, there are still different opinions, and there is no clear research. ”

Yang Wubing led everyone to the pyramid of Giza in Egypt on the westernmost side of the square, and then introduced it to Zhang Wufeng and others.

"Mentor, this, can we go in and have a look?" Seeing that the pyramid seemed to have an entrance, Zhao Dongsong subconsciously asked.

"Go in? Or don't go in. Yang Wubing looked at this huge pyramid, and after thinking about it, he rejected Zhao Dongsong's request, in fact, he himself also wanted to go in and have a look, but in such a place, if he went in again, he was afraid that it would be really dangerous.

"Oh, then don't go in." Zhao Dongsong said with some loss.

"Well, I'll take you to see the statue of Zeus next to here." Yang Wubing said with a smile.

Zhang Wufeng silently walked in this seemingly huge space, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something he had not been able to figure out.

Here, there are many places where crystal power cannot penetrate, for example, under the ground, those pyramids and statues, etc., cannot penetrate.

At this time, Zhang Wufeng even really wanted to observe the environment here with the eye of the sky, but he gave up such a move.

“…… In 393 A.D., the Roman Emperor Theodsius I issued an amnesty for the cessation of competition, and the ancient Olympic Games were terminated in this year. Then, in 426 AD, a pagan temple destruction decree was issued, so the statue of Zeus was destroyed, Phidias's workshop was converted into a church, and ancient Greece was destroyed. The temple's crumbling stone pillars were shattered in the earthquakes of 522 and 551 AD, and the stone was dismantled and converted into a fortress against barbarian invasion. Fortunately, the statue had been transported to Stantinople (now Istanbul, the capital of Turkey), where it was kept in the palace by the eunuch Louisi for 60 years, but was destroyed in the city during riots.

However, this statue of Olympian Zeus is also here at this moment, is it a coincidence here, or is it deliberately made here? ”

Yang Wubing said thoughtfully.

When Zhang Wufeng heard this, his heart gradually seemed to have some enlightenment, he stared at this statue of Zeus, his eagle-like gaze, and seemed to see everything through completely.

The statue of Zeus is made of wood, with ivory on the outer part of the body and a garment covered with gold. He wears a crown of olive branches on his head, holds a statue of victory made of ivory and gold in his right hand, and holds a scepter inlaid with various dazzling metals in his left hand, with a vulture resting on top of it.

As for his throne, on the head and behind the head of the idol are carved statues of the 'Three Goddesses of Elegance' and the 'Three Goddesses of the Seasons' (Spring, Summer, and Winter); The legs and feet are adorned with the dancing goddess of victory, the sphinx, the human head and the sphinx, and other Greek gods, and are about six meters wide and one meter high at the base. Excluding the throne, the statue of the god is about 16 meters tall and is equivalent to a four-story modern building, so that the head of Zeus sitting on the throne is almost on top of the temple.

Behind the idol hangs a sacred curtain looted from the temple in Jerusalem. In front of the statue was a large and shallow pool of olive oil inlaid with black marble, which was used to reflect light......

Zhang Wufeng looked at this, and seemed to have involuntarily understood this, which was a very peculiar feeling.

Yang Wubing still looked up at the statues, falling into a kind of dullness.
