There are differences between civilizations, just like the Lord in the Bible, who can send fire from heaven to destroy two cities in his own anger, or force humans to circumcise themselves.

If an evil god like Jehovah, who tramples on human life at every turn, is placed in the ethical and moral society of ancient China, he will certainly be regarded as a demon.

In the West, however, it can be the supreme lord. Since the late Qing Dynasty, he has also translated him into Chinese as God.

Therefore, it is also a temple, and it is not indispensable for Zoroastrian temples to be used as tombs, and the Buddhist Famen Temple also has an underground palace as a tomb.

The inference that it was a tomb or a temple has been established. Although the little fox's words were regarded as a joke by everyone, the meaning it meant was correct.

And Xue Pu, who is well versed in the art of feng shui, is absolutely this place quite weird.

He knew that even in the Western Regions, the location of their temples would be chosen in a feng shui treasure place that secretly combined the art of feng shui.

It will definitely not be used as a site in this "broken dragon's back".

Because to do so will only allow evil spirits to breed.

The expedition team continued to advance, and a huge stone gate appeared at the end of the square, and behind the stone gate was a larger underground palace.

There are two stone walls in the middle of the stone gate, and two stone sculptures extend from the stone wall, carving a pair of beast figures with eagle wings.

The body of the beast body and human face is magnificent, the shape is rough, the body like a lion, but it has the four hooves of a cow and a horse, and a pair of eagle wings, which makes the statue even more majestic.

The monster's facial features are those of a white man, with a curly and slender beard that coils down like a giant mask.

Everyone came to the stone carving, looked up, and an inexplicable sense of oppression still appeared.

When Sakura Momoko saw the stone carving, she couldn't help but hesitate, stepped back and said in Japanese: "It's a bean sack!" "Motioned for everyone to wait a minute.

Zhou Yunfeng looked puzzled, looked at the stone statue at the door and couldn't help complaining: "Eh, isn't this the Sphinx?" Why do you still have a beard? Why is this still with cow hooves, look at this big beard. Is this place still connected to Egypt? ”

In the face of such a huge statue, Professor Jia also asked Chen Haopeng to help Zhaoming take pictures and photographs of Xiangzhu.

Began to record cultural relics.

Lu Jiayi couldn't help but say: "This is not an Egyptian sphinx, but it has some origins. ”

"What origin?" Zhou Yunfeng asked.

Lü Jiayi: "The sphinx of the Egyptian pyramids is based on the image of the "Sphinx". ”

Zhou Yunfeng also did some homework in order to travel archaeology with Xue Pu, he said: "Is it the monster in Greek mythology who loves to ask questions? ”

Lu Jiayi nodded: "Yes, the Sphinx originally originated from ancient Egyptian mythology, and is also commonly found in West Asian mythology and ancient Greek mythology.

Legend has it that the Helapis Sphinx sat on a cliff near the city of Thebais, stopped passers-by, and asked them a riddle taught by the muse, and those who did not guess would be eaten by it: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and 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. ””

Lu Jiayi's words attracted the attention of Sakura Momoko, who was making notes, and her eyes were focused on this girl who was the head of knowledge.

Zhou Yunfeng nodded and replied: "I know this, the answer is "people"!" ”

Lu Jiayi said: "Yes, it's a human being. Although this story is recorded in Greek mythology, the image of the Sphinx with a beastly body and a human face has been widely circulated in Central Asia, West Asia, and Egypt. The earlier human-faced beast body dates back to the Sumerian civilization. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Jia Wenwen, who is well versed in the culture of the Western Regions, couldn't help but show a look of approval, while Sakura Momoko frowned slightly, and her face looked strange, as if she had doubts about Lu Jiayi's identity.

At the critical moment, Xue Pu coughed and interrupted Lu Jiayi's words, and he wrote lightly: "Ahem, cough, although the image of the Sphinx comes from, Sumerian civilization. But there is a similar image in China. ”

So Xue Pu talked eloquently: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the West Mountains": "The Mountains of the Huaijiang River...... Shenying recruits the division, its shape is a horse body and a human face, a tiger and a bird's wings, in the four seas, and its sound is like a grenade. And one of the four murders of antiquity, "梼杌" is also the image of a human face and a tiger body. Since the Warring States period, there have been many cultural relics with this image as a tomb beast.

The fact that the two major civilizations of the East and the West coincidentally appeared in this kind of image of creatures may indicate that the ancients may have seen such creatures, so they regarded them as totems and painted them in tombs or palaces. ”

Xue Pu stepped forward as he spoke his reasoning, and gently stroked the chest of the statue that had been burned by the flames and transformed with his hand.

Blowing away the ashes, he was shocked, this was the first document that appeared after they went down to the bottom of the canyon, and this document was written in Chinese characters: "The fire will be extinguished, and no one will enter." ”
