Chapter 436: Golden Mask
The mask has hair combed backwards, the strands are clearly visible, the high bridge of the nose is raised, and at the eyes, two extremely precious Sri Lankan rubies are inlayed, which at first glance look like a lifelike human face.
From the production style of the mask, Han Chong could see at a glance that this thing was definitely unearthed from the tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh, but if he wanted to say which pharaoh this was, after so many years, he couldn't tell.
You know, there are more than 30 pharaonic dynasties in Egypt, although most of the tombs have been discovered now, but over time, many pharaoh tombs have long been stolen and excavated.
Of course, the most famous pharaoh's tomb is naturally the Golden Mausoleum, which is the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutkamon, and the only intact pharaonic tomb for more than 3,000 years.
The discovery of the golden tomb became the most thorough shock and ridicule of modern mankind by ancient civilization, the pure gold mask as a symbol of Egyptian civilization, the coffin made of pure gold, the throne carved with precious stones carved in pure gold, the pure gold relief that covered the walls of the tomb, including the intact mummy under the gold mask, all of which amazed mankind.
Once British archaeologist Howard. Carter once said that the only outstanding achievement of Tutkamon's life was that he died and was buried.
This sentence is very incisive, the pharaoh, who was not known during his lifetime, actually shocked the whole world after his death, and this is all thanks to his mausoleum.
A pharaoh who died at the age of 19 will have such treasures in the mausoleum, so you can imagine what kind of treasures will be in the tombs of those pharaohs who have reigned for a longer time? What this reveals to a certain extent, everyone must know.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the golden mask in Han Chong's hand is concerned, its delicacy. It is no less than the golden mask in the mummy tomb of the pharaoh Tutkamon that has been unearthed, and even surpasses it.
Holding this golden mask, Han Chong also sighed in his heart, in addition to China's 5,000-year-old splendid civilization, there are many foreign countries, and they also have a long history that is not inferior to China, it is hard to imagine that human beings thousands of years ago could make such exquisite masks.
How did these things get out of the pharaoh's tomb and from which pharaoh's tomb? These are completely unverifiable, but one thing is certain. These objects must have been snatched by Klaus from the sea, and he must have been very excited at the time, but he did not know that after his death, they were all found by himself.
Looking at this treasure, Han Chong was not excited in his heart, after he was excited, he carefully put the mask back next to the crystal skeleton, and then picked out another twenty or thirty gold coins in the gold coin pile.
These gold coins are exquisitely crafted, like those found on British gold coins. On one side is engraved English and a soaring eagle, and on the other side is the head of their king, a man with a long beard.
The ornamentation on some of the remaining gold coins is also dominated by portraits of animals and people. All of them are extremely exquisite, showing the advanced casting technology of the time. Han Chong took these characteristics in order to pay tribute to that era, which is compared to its economic value. Historical value is more important.
And even after hundreds of years, these coins still look brand new and vivid. Visible. It is still very well preserved and has not been damaged.
Of course, in this secret room, it is said that the most worthless economic value is these gold, but these gold coins cannot be measured purely by gold, they are also antiques, and if they are put up for auction, one can be sold for more than 10 tens of thousands.
Of course, it must be when the amount taken out is very small, if Han Chong moves out the gold coins in the entire secret room, even the most precious things will become cabbage.
But no matter what, if he could move them out, Han Chong would be reluctant to leave them here.
After searching the entire secret room, Han Chong packed all the things that he thought were of high value into a deerskin box, which could be said to be only fifty or sixty centimeters square, and was worth at least more than 1.5 billion US dollars.
After Han Chong finally carefully put the three night pearls into the box, the secret room suddenly became invisible, Han Chong held the box in one hand, picked up the golden anchor in the other, and left the secret room.
"Hohoo!"
The star, who had been waiting dryly at the entrance of the mountainside, raised his arms and jumped up excitedly when he saw Han Chong come out, but when he saw the golden anchor that Han Chong was carrying, he immediately snatched it up.
"Damn, it's ...... stronger than me"
Seeing Xingxing holding the golden anchor like a toy, Han Chong couldn't help but be a little stunned, according to Han Chong's estimate, this thing was at least three or four hundred catties or more, but Xingxing was able to pick it up and play with it.
"Alright, Xingxing, stop playing, and besides, you must not move this box......"
Han Chong deliberately explained a few words to Xingxing, don't look at this guy's size, he is actually a child, he is curious about everything, but as long as Han Chong said something, Xingxing still listened.
"Yes."
The stars promised.
After coming out of the treasure place, Han Chong compared the two treasure maps, and found that the treasure map he got in the belly of the mountain actually found that the two maps did not match the road in the belly of the mountain, and they were all fake maps.
From this, Han Chong made a bold inference: more than six centuries ago, Klaus led a group of pirates to bury the treasure he had plundered all his life on this desert island, and made more than one map.
In order to protect his wealth, Klaus left several people on the island, none of whom were involved in the treasure concealment, and Klaus did not leave a ship when he left, in order to prevent his men from stealing the treasure.
However, Klaus did not expect that when he returned to the sea, he was caught and hanged.
The pirates who stayed on the isolated island should have waited for a long time and did not see Klaus come back, knowing that things had changed, and it was estimated that there was infighting because of the treasure.
It's just that the pirate who finally got the treasure map also died in the belly of the mountain, and the two fake maps show that Klaus didn't trust his men who stayed on the island. As for the bones, there will be so many corpses. As for the Star Family, Han Chong didn't know what they had to do with the treasure.
Of course, these are just inferences made by Han Chong based on various clues, and archaeology is like this. is the same as solving a case, grasping the clues and reasoning layer by layer.
After such a long time, in fact, no one can fully explain the situation at that time.
After doing the archaeological research on the island, Han Chong fell into idleness again, and his concern for Tu Yuwei was deepening day by day, and at this time, not only Tu Yuwei, but also his parents. The thoughts of his younger brothers and sisters also became more and more intense, and for a long time, Han Chong did not return to his hometown.
Mom, Dad, and eldest brother, brother-in-law run the supermarket is getting better and better, a while before going to Myanmar, Han Chong contacted his family, Tengfei Supermarket opened two stores in XJ one after another, after the benefits were good, with the support of Uncle Wei Demin. Tengfei Supermarket successfully entered Jiangcheng.
The brother-in-law and eldest brother also bought a house in Jiangcheng and moved their family to Jiangcheng.
Originally, my parents were not going to come to Jiangcheng, because the second elder also built a five-story building at home. But because Han Yinguo and Han Yinxue came, Han Changli and his sister-in-law also came. Han's father and Han Chong's mother Xiong Caixia also had plans to come to Jiangcheng.
Times have changed, and it's not a problem to stay in the countryside all the time.
As for the building, Han Xiaoli thought about leaving it to Han Bin, this kid said that he wanted to develop in the countryside. In addition, the supermarket in the village also needs to be taken care of by him.
No way, this little guy just doesn't love school.
These. Han Chong knows everything.
He had long wanted to reunite with his family, but during this time, he was really busy and forgot everything, and now that he was on this desert island again, how could he go back.
Han Chong did not want to save himself and escape from this desert island, he once tried to build a canoe, the manufacturing method is very simple, that is, a big tree is sawn, the two ends are sharpened, and then the wood in the middle is hollowed out.
But it took a whole week to damage Han Chong's precious saw, but the canoe was successfully made, and the completion of the canoe gave Han Chong hope to leave the isolated island.
But the tragic thing is that Han Chong went into the water for the first time, and the canoe capsized before he could go through any wind and waves.
After another week of hard training, Han Chong mastered the skills of driving a canoe, but when he was rowing the canoe and preparing to investigate the fifty kilometers around the island, a storm suddenly broke out on the sea, and a big wave separated him from the canoe.
At that time, Han Chong went through a lot of hardships before he returned to the shore, and the canoe that he had spent a lot of effort to make also disappeared from the sea.
After this incident, Han Chong understood that the story of the natives driving canoes in the sea staged in the movie was pure nonsense, and it was absolutely impossible to expect this thing to leave the isolated island.
And Han Chong, who was slowly recovering his body, also tried to use Jiaolong's water control ability to send himself away and send him away directly from this isolated island, but the ocean was long, and Han Chong didn't know which direction was his home before.
Han Chong said to be honest, the place he is going to now is not Jiangcheng, but Myanmar, he still has unfinished business, I'm afraid Tu Yuwei is also trapped there.
At the moment, Han Chong's pupil ability has been greatly improved, and he can look at 10,000 meters, but at a distance of 10,000 meters, Han Chong still can't judge where to go.
What makes Han Chong even more worried, how long can Jiaolong's water control last, in the vast sea, if he swims for ten days and half a month, Jiaolong slackens, and it is difficult for him to be swallowed by the sea.
Han Chong naturally didn't want to die yet, so Han Chong simply stopped thinking about the island later, except for standing on the top of the mountain every day to observe whether there were any passing ships, the rest of the time was spent hunting and fishing.
Time flies, and Han Chong has been on the island for two months, but fortunately, he still has a watch and knows how the days pass.
When Han Chong was extremely bored, he went back and forth to the pirate's treasure room several times, he naturally couldn't leave all the treasures here, he brought out a large number of gold coins and put them in the cave where he slept, Han Chong has been thinking for the past few days, it would be nice if he had a helicopter.
These treasures were transported by helicopter, and besides, in this hiding place in Myanmar, there should be something other than the moon cup, and the helicopter was not used only once.
As for the channel that can buy helicopters, Han Chong thinks of his partner Wu Gang.
He has some influence in Myanmar, and he also has a purchase channel. Han Chong is not short of money now, and it is not a problem to take out one or two hundred million to buy one.
But just think about it, Han Chong is now trapped on an isolated island, and he can't spend any money.
If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself. Now Han Chong's whole person is tanned, holding a spear and a big knife, and even making a homemade bow and arrow, originally wanted to shoot a few birds to roast and eat, but the level is too smelly, and he has never succeeded.
Now, if outsiders come to this island, they will definitely think that Han Chong is a local native.
Swimming has also become Han Chong's main program to pass the time, Han Chong is not relying on water control to swim now, but relying on his own ability, water control will also strike, if he really fails to save himself, Han Chong thought about controlling water and adding his own singing skills to escape from here.
The so-called practice, Han Chong wants to hold his breath in the water, under the premise of controlling the water, Han Chong can be the same as the fish in the water, and there will be basically no difficulties.
In addition to the water control function, after practicing, Han Chong could stay underwater for half an hour in one breath, and during this time, he almost swam all over the sea area around the island for more than ten nautical miles, but from the bottom of the shallow sea, he found a lot of pearls with better color.
Originally, Han Chong planned to go to the wreck to take a look, but the pressure on the bottom of the sea was great, most of those wrecks were in the sea area at a depth of sixty or seventy meters, Han Chong had no gravity equipment, it was difficult to dive so deep with his bare hands, and Han Chong was really not so interested, and he didn't want to make a big effort, so he finally gave up.
"Stars, hurry up, swim faster......"
Xingxing, this guy was also trained by Han Chong to swim together, to be honest, Han Chong was also thinking about what Xingxing would do if he left.
It would be nice if this guy could come with him.
Therefore, Han Chong also wants to swim in the stars.
Today, Han Chong has a swimming competition with Xingxing again, which is also a daily reserved item for the two of them.
Han Chong swam and swam in front, and the stars were chasing after him, but swimming is not physically strong, strong is powerful, and swimming is a skillful thing.
It's not good to be too heavy.
Seeing that Han Chong was getting faster and faster, driving farther and farther, the stars picked up the splash and threw it forward.
"Wait, wait for me."
"Haha, Xingxing, I'll go ashore first, you lose ......" Han Chong stepped on the beach, looked back at the stars and smiled.
"Whew!"
Xing Xing was a little unconvinced, and after splashing Han Chong with water, he beat his chest vigorously, signaling that he wanted to do it again with Han Chong.
"Come on."
"Come on, come ......" (To be continued......)
