Once you leave the ship, the rest is much simpler. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After experiencing the temptation of various sounds on the beach, Lin Qingqing officially entered the city of Port Said.

Port Said is a small city with a very short history, although this short history refers to the fact that the city has been built less than 200 years ago compared to China's ancient cities with thousands of years of history.

The Suez Canal was officially excavated in 1859, and before that it was just a simple fishing village.

After the opening of the Suez Canal, Said became an important port connecting the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and became the most important port in the northern section of the Suez Canal.

It is one of the world's coal and oil storage ports, with a maximum lifting capacity of 45 tons for container cranes and 200 tons for floating cranes. The port area has a silo capacity of 24,000 tons and an oil tank capacity of 25 tons. The largest reliable ship at the terminal is 45,000 dwt.

At its peak, 10,000 ships enter and leave the port every day.

Lin Qing knew that this port was completely because of football, in fact, Lin Qing knew about Europe in his last life, and a large part of the reason was because of football, here on February 1, 2012, there was a tragedy in Port Said, which killed 77 fans and injured hundreds of people.

In this life, Lin Qing knew about this city when he was in England, and it can be said that this port city has been filled with gunsmoke, and in the twentieth century, there were constantly wars, even after World War II, this port also suffered two wars.

In the 1956 Sinai War, large-scale air raids and British and French landings caused serious damage to Port Said, and in the 1967 Six-Day War, the Israeli army occupied the east bank of the canal and continued to close the canal, and the city also collapsed, and in 1975, the canal was reopened and President Sadat issued an "open door" policy, and Port Said was rebuilt.

However, none of this interested Lin Qing, who was most interested in a ruby stored in the Port Said Museum, as well as a pharaoh's scepter and crown.

The system told Lin Qing before that the value of gems is not lower than that of cultural relics, and these gems are not based on size, but according to the fame of this gem, and the longer it exists, the more valuable the gem is.

The ancient Egyptians believed that it was a symbol of the supremacy of kings, and the ancient Egyptians had an almost fanatical love for rubies, just like the Burmese owners.

The Roselieves Star Ruby on display at the Port Said Museum is from Sri Lanka, but the stubborn Egyptians believe it is their lost pharaonic heart.

Weighing in at 138.7 carats, this gemstone is one of the few largest star rubies in the world, clean and transparent, with six star lines that look very sharp. This star ruby is from Sri Lanka and is in the collection of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., but because of the invitation of the Egyptians and the large appearance fee, the Americans decided to go on a tour of Egypt, and just came to Egypt yesterday.

The charm of rubies is somewhat unstoppable in Egypt, because the arrival of this gemstone, Port Said, which originally had a population of just over 300,000, exceeded 400,000 this time.

One of the reasons why Lin Qing disembarked on the Port Said principle this time was because of this gem.

Walking into the woods at the edge of the beach, after Lin Qing confirmed that Zhou Wei did not have any people, he changed into a human skin mask and found the passport of the response from the space.

First, I called and booked a plane ticket, and at nine o'clock this morning, I flew directly from Port Said to London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

Lin Qing needed to go back to the UK again not because there was anything, but because he needed a situation record, after all, now the British only have Lin Qing's entry record, not a situation record.

At that time, the British immigration bureau will intervene in the investigation, and Lin Qing hopes that he will once again enter the British people's field of vision because of this little thing, and he does not want to bomb the British intelligence organization again.

Having had the experience of an intelligence organization being attacked, the British must have monitored these organizations more closely.

The British have found a lot of things according to the existing clues, but none of them have anything to do with Lin Qing, and the British now only have information about Lin Qing on the Interpol record, an arms dealer.

Of course, if the Yankees were willing to share their intelligence base with the British, the British would be able to get a lot of information, but would the Yankees?

There is no real museum in Port Said, after all, the city is too young, compared to Egypt, one of the oldest countries on the planet, even though it is the second largest port city in Egypt.

The Port Said Museum is actually the Port Said Memorial, the city was once destroyed by the war, and later established a museum, some of the objects from the war are displayed in it, reminding future generations of the horror of war.

The memorial is located in the heart of Port Said, close to the Martyrs' Tomb, but the memorial has seen its highest foot traffic in recent days.

In order to coincide with the Egyptian national tour of the Roselieves Star Ruby, the Egyptians specially selected a number of objects from the pharaonic era from the National Museum of Egypt to set off the tour, the most famous of which is the pharaoh's scepter and crown.

There were many pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and there were many scepters, even in American museums, there are pharaoh's scepters on display, which is not like the Pope's scepter that there is only one in the world, but there are as many pharaohs as there will be as many scepters.

Every pharaoh of Egypt died with a variety of funerary goods, among which their scepters and crowns were the favorite of tomb robbers all over the world, because they were not only set with enough gems, but also very valuable.

Moreover, each pharaoh had three scepters, and according to Egyptian history, there were three scepters: the "heka" scepter: the ancient Egyptian symbol means "ruler".

"Vance" Staff: This symbol means "unity" in ancient Egyptian script.

"Flail" Staff: Usually used in conjunction with the "Heka" staff, it was the scepter held by the deceased pharaoh

There are dozens of Pharaoh's Scepters in the world, and many more are lying in the Pharaoh's tomb and slowly rotting.

As for the pharaoh's crown, there are even more of them, and each pharaoh will have five crowns.

Red Crown: Symbol of Lower Egypt (Northern Egypt);

White crown: symbol of Upper Egypt (Southern Egypt); The double crown: a symbol of the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt;

"Atafu" crown: a crown used in religious ceremonies;

Blue Crown: Associated with war, such as Ramses II's frequent appearance in battlefield reliefs. (To be continued.) )
