Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Strongest Card Playing King in History, Atum
Communicating with the ancient Egyptians was a very imaginative task, and communicating with the Hebrews was also a very imaginative one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Chongcheng did not speak the language of ancient Egypt, so he could only choose to express his meaning in words.
If the object of communication is a Celestial-Celestial Dynasty, it is not difficult for Su Chongcheng to communicate in writing, but if the other party is an ancient Egyptian or a Hebrew...... Then it's a little harder.
The language of the ancient Egyptian family is similar to Semitic, and the current Neo-Egyptian language is slightly simpler than the ancient Egyptian language of 1,300 years ago, but only a little simpler. Overall, the current Neo-Egyptian language is still a string of confusing hieroglyphs, similar to the hieroglyphs developed during the Shang Dynasty, oracle bone inscriptions, and Jin scripts.
Oracle, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic ...... Even if Su Chongcheng is a liberal arts student, he hasn't learned these things! What kind of liberal arts major at a university would study oracles!? If all liberal arts students know the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt, what do you need language experts and professors for? Can Eating White Food Achieve Common Prosperity?
The way people can communicate with each other is quite limited, and this is a two-choice multiple-choice question, since you can't communicate with the Egyptians in language, you can only communicate with the Egyptians in writing.
Su Chongcheng didn't know hieroglyphics, so he could only rely on his imagination to try his best to express his thoughts clearly, and try to make the little Hebrew slave in front of him understand what he was trying to express, so as to obtain some more complete information.
It's easy to say, but it's quite difficult to implement.
One is the mind of the new human in the twenty-first century, and the other is the Hebrew slave who didn't even know a word 1,200 years ago.
Su Chongcheng didn't know how to ask the little slave in front of him about things, so he first planned to introduce himself to the little slave.
He pointed at himself with his index finger, deliberately slowed down his speech, and said word by word; "I'm the best poker player ever, you can call me Atum."
In order not to reveal his identity, Su Chongcheng did not say his real name, but found a more familiar Egyptian name to hide his real name.
In order to make the little slave hear clearly, Su Chongcheng pointed to himself and repeated the word 'Atum' several times in an accentuated tone.
"Atum?"
The hard work paid off, and Su Chongcheng said the 'Atum' in an important tone these few times, and finally let the little slave understand what he was saying, and the little slave looked at Su Chongcheng's face fixedly, with a strange expression.
Atum is the creator god of Egyptian mythology and the head of the nine pillars of Egypt. In the eyes of the little slave, Su Chongcheng couldn't even speak Neo-Egyptian, and he was obviously not a native Egyptian, but since he couldn't even speak Egyptian, where did he know the name 'Atum'?
Not a native Egyptian, but you can say the name 'Atum'......
Who the hell is this guy?
The little slave would not hide his thoughts, and when he thought that this guy of unknown origin had said the name of 'Atum', his face subconsciously showed a look of surprise.
"He shouldn't have noticed the anomaly, right?"
Su Chongcheng didn't know that a random name would attract the little slave's vigilant attention, he noticed the strange expression on the little slave's face, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
The little slave may have noticed something, but he can't afford to drag it on.
Thinking of this, Su Chongcheng didn't have the heart to continue to ramble, he picked up a small stone, drew a pharaoh's mask on the sand, pointed to the pharaoh's mask, and asked; "Do you know who the Pharaoh is now?"
After speaking, Su Chongcheng drew two vertical bars on both sides of the pharaoh's mask to express the meaning of 'now'.
After painting, he seemed to be afraid that the little slave would not understand the pharaoh's mask, so he drew a scepter next to the pharaoh's mask.
Su Chongcheng expressed it very clearly, the few paintings he painted were easy to understand, and the little slave easily understood what Su Chongcheng wanted to ask, he looked at the mask and scepter that Su Chongcheng painted symbolizing the power of the pharaoh, and his heart trembled.
Calling himself 'Atum' and asking for the name of the pharaoh......
What is the origin of this man in front of you?
The little slave hesitated to tell the man about Pharaoh.
The little slave hesitated, and all these performances fell into Su Chongcheng's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart that there was a door, and pushed the copper copper Deben to the little slave.
Now the monthly wages of the workers in Egypt are only seven copper deben, and the copper deben pushed by Su Chongcheng easily crushed the little slave's hesitant thoughts, and he quickly put the copper deben into his pocket, and at the same time hurriedly said; “RAMESESⅡ。”
The little slave spoke quickly, and when he put away the copper deben, he had already finished speaking.
Ancient Egyptian sounded very strange, Su Chongcheng didn't hear what the little slave said, so he asked the little slave to repeat what he had just said a few times, and with the help of Roman sounds, he was vaguely sure that what he had just said was 'Ramses'.
RAMSES IS A TRANSLITERATION, WITH ROMANIZATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ENGLISH ALPHABET, WHICH CAN BE ROUGHLY REPRESENTED AS 'RAMESES'.
Although it was not possible to translate all the words spoken by the little slave, the word 'II' was not translated. But judging from the comparison of the 'Ramses' that this little slave said and the content on the piece of paper, it is very likely that he is now in the ancient Egyptian dynasty ruled by Ramses II 1,200 years ago.
"It seems that it has come full circle, and in the end I still have to obey the orders on the piece of paper."
Su Chongcheng shook his head with a wry smile, and rubbed off the two paintings he had just drawn on the ground with his hands, erasing the traces. Then he slowly stood up, preparing to return to the desert town to discuss countermeasures with Boji and Bi Na Tianzi.
However, just as he got up and straightened up, a loud voice came from a distance.
It was a man's roar, loud and seemed to be shouting something.
Seems to be shouting "moses" in anger?
Su Chongcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Less than fifty meters in front of him, two or three people gathered together, as if arguing about something.
Looking closely, you can vaguely see two tall men surrounding a girl with short light white hair and a red and white dress.
“moses?”
Su Chongcheng licked his lips, revealing an eager expression; "It can't be Moses, right?"
He snorted twice, and then glanced at the little slave who was standing aside watching the play, he put his elbow on the arm of the little slave, pointed to the girl who was surrounded by two men, and asked;
"Who's that girl?"
