Chapter 287 The mysterious Sphinx
For example, the Valley of the Kings in Egypt,
More than 60 mausoleums, almost all of them were stolen.
Ever since Shang Bowen deciphered ancient Egyptian texts, adventurers, archaeologists, and antiquities dealers have grown wings to fly to Egypt.
A large number of cultural relics are loaded on ships and transported to city museums full of modern civilization or hidden in the basements of some people's homes.
Looted Egyptian antiquities cannot be counted.
If, I have to say one or two.
A comparison can clearly and clearly illustrate the enormity of this treasure buried in the Valley of the Kings.
Because of its secrecy and secrecy of the tomb, Tutankhamun's tomb, which survived theft, has more than 10,000 large and small funerary goods, and is known as the world's largest treasure.
Of course, after the discovery of Atlantis City, it can only be ranked second.
The treasures in Tutankhamen's chamber are far more than those left from more than 60 other tombs in the Valley of the Kings that have been visited by archaeologists, adventurers, and tomb robbers.
You must know that Tutankhamun became a pharaoh at the age of nine, died mysteriously at the age of eighteen, and was hastily buried, his tomb was extremely simple, the area was less than one-third of other tombs, and even the burial goods were piled up in the tomb in a chaotic manner, and many of the names on the burial goods seemed to be erased out of other people's names due to the advent time.
His successors tried to erase his existence, and even the mausoleum was not clearly marked.
Such a short reign and no name, inaction, and sudden death made his luxurious pyramid mausoleum, which he did not build in advance, become the world's greatest treasure.
Well, Thutmose III, Ramses II. How huge are the treasures in the tombs of famous Egyptian pharaohs such as Seti I, Ramses II, etc. It can be seen.
The burial goods of more than 60 pharaoh tombs in the Valley of the Kings are a very, very large treasure.
Except for Tutankhamen's burial chamber spared. The other more than 60 magic chambers were all stolen or excavated.
Egypt, an ancient civilization with a splendid culture, a long history and cultural heritage, has only a small number of cultural relics left in modern times.
There is not much left.
The Egyptian Museum, as a national museum in Egypt, houses more than 300,000 pieces of various cultural relics. The Palace Museum in Yanjing, China, has a collection of more than 2 million artifacts.
There are 4,165 museums in China, while there are less than 100 state-owned museums in Egypt, including non-state-owned museums.
Is this still Egypt, which is listed as one of the four ancient civilizations along with China?
Sympathy and sorrow for Egypt's cultural heritage.
In fact, Egypt's inaction on cultural heritage, not to reproduce, not only does it take pictures of tourists standing on the Great Sphinx, but no one has to stop them from hitting the rocks on the Sphinx with bottles filled with water.
And, there's a lot going on. Chen Rui, who had previously looked up some information about Egypt on the Internet, felt very incredible, and it was hard to imagine. This is how Egyptians treat their country's cultural heritage.
For example, the Egyptian Museum is discarded.
For more than 100 years, the Egyptians have placed a number of Egyptian precious antiquities, including many mummies of the pharaohs, the famous mummy of Ramses II, and the famous Tutankhamen's treasures, gold chariots and gold masks, in wooden crates and left them to decay and disintegrate in damp and dark underground caverns.
In the underground caverns, light bulbs hung from tattered wires, and the space was filled with hundreds of wooden crates, some from floor to ceiling. Ancient pottery and stone slabs engraved with hieroglyphs are covered with cobwebs.
There are countless stolen tricks.
Ding Mouhao of the Luxor Temple came here for a visit.
and Chen Rui saw in a travel documentary "Adventure Inspector Lei" that a 7,000-year-old beautiful mummy was thrown directly in the ruins of a temple like a garbage heap, without any protection, only covered with a white cloth, and the head was contained in a green plastic bag
Wait a minute.
It can be seen that the Egyptians do not take into account the cultural heritage of their own country.
Chen Rui doesn't care about the Egyptians' inaction and lack of attention to the protection of their country's cultural heritage, and he is not upset when he sees it, and it is not our Chinese cultural heritage, so he follows them.
Chen Rui continued to visit the pyramids, the Sphinx.
The Sphinx is a huge stone statue with a human head, a lion body, an ox tail, and vulture's wings, twenty meters high and fifty-seven meters long.
It is a stone statue full of mysteries.
The reason for its construction, the builders, the years of its construction, the various legends of the Sphinx, some of the things that happened on the Sphinx are full of mysteries.
Apart from the Great Pyramid, the most enigmatic in Egypt is this stone statue.
If Chen Rui knew what the Sphinx was, would he shock the world.
In fact, Chen Rui did know what the Sphinx was.
The Sphinx, in addition to here, Chen Rui has also seen it in other places.
On the outskirts of Atlantis, a concentric circle of Stonehenge tombs, in some early burial chambers where the kings of Atlantis and nobles are buried.
Chen Rui can see the pattern of the sphinx from time to time on some murals in the tomb, which appears very many times, various shapes, and some of the utensils found in the tomb are shaped like sphinxes.
However, by the middle of Atlantis, the tombs of the royal family and nobles of the later period were almost impossible to see the sphinx, or the sphinx-shaped artifacts.
This can show that the Sphinx is not the culture of Atlantis itself, because if it is the culture of Atlantis itself, the Atlanteans will always pass it on.
The Sphinx is most likely an alien culture, an extraterrestrial civilization, a culture on Earth that predates the Atlantean civilization.
According to this line of thought, if you speculate, you can almost form a vein in Chen Rui's mind.
The Sphinx was built by extraterrestrial civilizations, or civilizations on Earth that preceded the Atlantean civilization, including, the mysterious Great Pyramid.
It is deduced that the Sphinx builders were built by extraterrestrial civilizations or civilizations earlier than the Atlantean civilization, and were built in a very distant era.
This is a good explanation for an unsolved mystery that has puzzled countless scientists and scholars around the world.
Flooding of the lion's body.
The Sphinx was once soaked in water, there's no disputing that.
Here's the problem, according to historical records, Egypt was plagued by many great floods of the sea and the Nile, the last of which occurred around 10,000 BC. (To be continued......)
