Leaving the Cairo National Museum, Su Ying and his entourage hurried to the Giza pyramids not far from Cairo.
After entering the scorching desert, the best means of transportation is of course the first choice of camels, known as the "ship of the desert", after Su Ying and his party entered Giza, they rented three strong camels with towering humps and huge soles in the hands of a local old man in white robes who waited for a rabbit to wait for guests, and rented camels with towering humps and huge soles. At the beginning, the cunning old man who smoked a hookah first said "one dollar per horse" in broken Chinese when negotiating the price, Mu Nianci stretched out his neck when he heard it, his little face was full of incredulity and surprise, and he confirmed with this old man one after another, but the old man only vaguely said one dollar, one dollar, Su Ying naturally saw through the usual tricks of stealing customers in these tourist attractions with hot business, in the face of the "black-hearted" businessman, Su Ying's temper was not very good, and he sneered and directly debunked the old man and said" Your dollar shouldn't be a dollar for each camel to take a step, when the time comes, there is no evidence, and we are not familiar with life, so we can only be slaughtered by you obediently", the old man smiled after hearing Su Ying's words, and felt that today's tourists are really becoming more and more shrewd and difficult to deceive, especially the beautiful girl in front of him who has insight into her heart, how can she give herself a feeling that she must have no good fruit to eat? Eventually, the old man said "That's $20 a piece" in English with a tough attitude. Even if my father comes out of the grave to help you bargain, I can't give you any more discount, even if my father crawls out of the grave to help you bargain, I can't discount it a little more", in such clear words, Su Ying finally negotiated the price with the treacherous and cunning old man, the two camels are 40 dollars for the whole journey, I need to return it before sunset, because Su Ying didn't bring US dollars, so I gave 628 Egyptian pounds and didn't pay a deposit, because these camels all know the way, even if Su Ying and the others want to run away, they will eventually be empty.
Before leaving, Su Ying did not forget to ask the old man for some "small color heads", such as some mineral water sold part-time by the old man, took three bottles for free, and some cheap snacks, bought some at cost price, the old man kept shouting in broken Chinese "Lost to grandma's house", but Su Ying just sneered, in the face of this old treacherous and cunning profiteer, Su Ying will not be merciful at all, God knows how many foreign tourists have been slaughtered by this seemingly sincere and kind old man?
In the world, there are these scenic spot vendors who are greedy for profits and unscrupulous means to trap people, so that the scenic spots with excellent reputation and good resources are made into a miasma, and then they are passed on by tourists or word of mouth, or network information sharing, and finally ruined their reputation, because of small losses.
The old man looked at the back of Su Ying and his party riding a camel and leaving leisurely, "Let's chirp" took a big puff of hookah, and his cheeks were sunken, and then he shook his head and sighed.
Although this business is not profitable, it is also a small surplus, thinking of this, the old man "chirped" and smoked a hookah.
In the endless yellow desert, under the blue sky, there are three huge artificial buildings of different heights, namely the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaura, among which the Pyramid of Khufu is the most huge, and it is also the largest pyramid among the 110 pyramids found in ancient Egypt so far, the tower is 146.59 meters high, although it is 10 meters high due to weathering, the top is peeled off 10 meters, and it is now 136.5 meters high, but it is also equivalent to 40 stories high, which is worthy of being one of the eight wonders of the world.
There are also many small pyramids and the original shape of the pyramids - Mastaba around the pyramids of Giza, and there is also a huge Sphinx Sphinx on the south side of the Pyramid of Khafre, the Sphinx wears a crown and is carved with a relief of the holy snake Kubera, there is a fan-shaped Neamus turban hanging down on the sides of the ears, a long beard on the chin, a collar around the neck, and a pair of huge claws are even more vivid, this colossus is 72 meters long with two front paws, and its peculiarity lies in the fact that its face is completely alienated from the geometric body, but cleverly combined.
In Egypt, the lion was the guardian of various mysterious places, as well as the guardian of the gates of the underground world, because the pharaoh would become the sun god after his death, so there was a saying that the sphinx was built to protect the door of the pharaoh.
The front of the Sphinx is always facing the direction of the rising sun, but in the course of the years, the majestic image of the Sphinx has changed from what it used to be, and most of the red clay has fallen off, and the crown, the holy serpent, and the long beard have also disappeared, leaving only a deep hole in the top of the head that holds the crown in a square, and the nose on the face is also gone. There is also a theory related to Napoleon about the Sphinx's nose, when Napoleon went on an expedition to Egypt and came to the Giza pyramids, he ordered the bombardment of the Sphinx, trying to find a secret passage into the Great Pyramid, but Napoleon's soldiers used the Sphinx as a target for practice, and the Sphinx's nose was blown down in the test shot. But in fact, this statement is not true, judging from the diaries and memoirs left by Napoleon, Napoleon was not just a martial artist, and he was interested in history since he was a child, and when he led his troops to Egypt in 1798, he led a scientific and artistic expedition of nearly 200 people, including some historians and archaeologists, thus leaving the famous saying that scholars and donkeys walked in the middle of the procession. The Sphinx was severely damaged first of all because of nature, because the stone of the Sphinx was soft limestone, it could not be as strong and resilient as the pyramids, and after years of sun and rain, strong sandstorms in western Egypt, the Sphinx was completely swallowed by the desert many times, and then it was dug up again.
The desert is lonely.
Su Ying, Mu Nianci and Mu Kong rode a camel to the Giza pyramids in front of their sight, and on the way Su Ying also gave Mu Nianci the deeds of the "Sphinx" that originated in ancient Egyptian mythology but was famous in Greek mythology: in Greek mythology, Herapai Sphinx sat on the cliff near the city of Thebais, stopped passers-by, and asked them with a riddle taught by the muse, and those who guessed it would be eaten by it, the riddle was: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning and two legs at noon, Walking on three legs at night? When he has the most legs, it is also when he walks the slowest and his physical strength is the weakest. Oedipus guessed the correct answer, and the riddle was "man", and the Sphinx was so ashamed that he jumped off a cliff and died (one said that he was killed by Oedipus).
And Mu Nianci faced Su Ying's "throwing bricks and welcoming jade", he generously opened his smart head, and smiled and told Su Ying some knowledge about the pyramids, the pyramids are not only the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, but also some numbers about the pyramids are also very mysterious, such as the square of the pyramid tower height = the area of the triangle on the side of the pyramid, the side length of the square at the bottom of the pyramid * 2 รท the height of the pyramid, It is exactly equal to about 3.14, that is, ฯ and so on, which made Mu Kong, who was riding the same camel, amazed, and stroked Mu Nianci's little head again and again and praised it.
After arriving at the Giza pyramids, which were as crowded with tourists as the Cairo National Museum, Su Ying, Mu Kong, and Mu Nianci first found a nearby stall selling goods, gave the stall owner 20 Egyptian pounds to take care of it, and then tied the ropes of the heads of two camels to a thick wooden pillar in front of the stall.
The sheer size of the Pyramid of Khufu is a miracle that "heavily armed" tourists who take shelter from the sun and take refuge from the heat are absolutely miraculous, and it is hard to imagine that such a large-scale structure can be built with human power alone, although some of the puzzles about the pyramid are being solved step by step, such as how each of the pyramid's tons of boulders is stacked on top of each other - with sand and water, the friction of sand and water will be greatly reduced, A 2.5-ton stone requires hundreds of people to pull on the ground, while 20 people can easily do it on watered sand, and after transporting the stone to its destination, the workers use the sand to form a slope and water it constantly, and the sand pile spirals around the rudimentary pyramid so that the stones weighing several tons can be easily transferred, but even if such puzzles are gradually revealed, there are still most phenomena that cannot be explained by science.
Su Yingzai carefully observed around the Pyramid of Khufu, and found that there were some black holes in the tower body, and after communicating with the local vendors, she learned that those black holes were the handiwork of tomb robbers, and those vendors who saw the money also tempted Su Ying to say that as long as you pay 100 Egyptian pounds, you can enter and explore, Su Ying naturally will not agree, she has been able to make it clear that there is nothing strange about this Pyramid of Khufu, so there is no need to go in and explore, but Su Ying still generously gave the other party a small bottle of cool oil, Cool oil and wind oil essence are very sought-after in Egypt made in China.
There are also some shrewd traders in the scenic area who sell the so-called "Set's bones", in fact, the so-called "Set's bones" are some metal ores from the ground, because the Egyptian mythology of Set's is often compared with Horus, because Horus is a god, so Set's is regarded as the god of the land, and the ore in the hands of these traders does not know which garbage heaps to pick up the rags, or the scraps found in the abandoned mines, the quality is really not good, but some foreign wronged leaders want to "commemorate", "Pray" or something like that, so I still took out US dollars to buy some to help these traders who make a living by cheating, and shouted "brothers and friends" in front of them, and after borrowing money, they turned around and scolded each other for being rich and brainless fools who deserved to be slaughtered.
"Uncle, take a picture of me, I'll show off when I go back!"
Mu Nianci jumped and climbed to a boulder at the bottom of the Khafre pyramid, and compared two "yes" with both hands, while Mu Kong took out his mobile phone and learned to be a professional photographer to record and shoot in style, and took nearly 100 photos of Mu Nianci in a row.
The sky is as hot as fire, and the earth is as hot as fire.
Even the scorching sun could not stop everyone's enthusiasm for feasting their eyes and laughing and frolicking in the Giza pyramids, until a long earthy yellow line mixed with a large amount of wind and sand surged high in the distance, the long line could cover almost the entire edge of the Giza pyramids, and the food brought by the long line could envelop the entire Giza pyramids.
An overwhelming sandstorm came without warning.
Su Ying looked at the billowing sand and dust in the distance shrewdly, and was shocked, and immediately took out the black cherry blossom knife in the cloth bag behind him, and then shouted loudly to those tourists who were still immersed in watching, everyone suddenly ran crazy like ants on a hot pot, and the tourists who were in a hurry could no longer care about the pyramid of the world's wonders, and it was important to save their lives when the crisis was imminent, and some local merchants and vendors didn't even care to pick up the small books and commodities that they hurriedly scattered all over the ground, and the girl ran more than the last second and laughed that he was a "good brother in China and Egypt" The guests are also fast.
Su Ying took out the Black Sakura knife for the first time, and found Mu Kong and Mu Nianci in the chaotic crowd with her sharp eyes like an eagle, and handed over the Hermes shoulder bag with her mobile phone and money and the black cloth bag behind her to carry the Black Fall Knife, and explained that the two of them quickly evacuated back to the hotel on a camel, Su Ying turned around and left without waiting for the two to speak, but she ran against the crowd and ran towards the "natural disaster" that covered the sky and the sun and the yellow sand in front of her.
Su Ying scurried on the fine grains of sand, drawing a trace of rapid healing on the vast golden desert.
Although tens of millions of people have gone to me.
Mu Kong put away the black cloth bag that Su Ying handed over to him for safekeeping, and then rode a camel with Mu Nianci, followed by another camel, the two successfully avoided the sudden attack of this strange sandstorm, and both looked at the Giza pyramids behind them, which had been completely swallowed by the wind and sand, with a worried look on their faces.
In contrast to the magnificent pyramids that are hidden by yellow sand, the sun is shining brightly outside the Giza Pyramids Scenic Area, and the sky is clear.
Ten miles of different days.
"Uncle, shall we just leave Sister Su Ying like this?" There was some anxiety in Mu Nianci's tone.
Mu Kongchang exhaled, stroked Mu Nianci's little head in front of him and comforted: "Don't worry, Sister Su Ying is not very human, we will be dragging our feet if we stay." โ
Mu Kong suddenly whipped his whip and quickened the pace of the camels under him, and the top priority was to evacuate to an absolutely safe area first.
