"Mr. Edwin, you can watch it for as long as you want, it's just the opening dish, we have something better, if you're interested."

In the brightly lit office, George Edwin, sitting behind his desk, saw this piece of pottery and his heart leap at the sight of this piece of pottery.

There are many differences between a fake and a genuine thing, and for someone like him, who has been trading in Egyptian antiquities for more than three decades, many details can be seen at a glance.

Now experience tells him that this is a genuine product.

However, Edwin was unmoved on the surface, and his gloved hands took the palm-sized fragment from the dealer, and he could see the excitement of the three dealers.

The other party was three local men, who were approached through an intermediary, Paul Smith, who was now watching from the sidelines. Both of them knew that most of the dealers were novices, who had never gotten some treasures from nowhere, and were in a hurry to sell them for cash, which usually yielded a good price for both parties.

"I'll see." Edwin carefully held the fragment in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, and began to identify it.

They don't ask how things came about, that's none of their business, they only care about the authenticity of things.

As long as it is true and bought at a good price, these things can naturally appear in the auction houses of England and Citigroup, and then sell for a high price.

Determining the authenticity of the Chinese object in the hand is the only thing Edwin cares about.

As soon as he took the fragment, Edwin could already see a line of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the fragment, which was in the holy script.

【???????? 】

Edwin's forehead wrinkled, and there was an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart......

"How?" Antiquities dealer Baishl asked a little nervously.

Paul Smith also watched from the side, and also had some knowledge of the holy script, "The king, the sun god, the inscription is well preserved, so I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Of course it's true." When Byshalton said this, Ella was even more anxious: "Let me tell you, we still have a few pieces of this fragment alone." Noticing the contemplation on Edwin's aged face, Eldin asked, "What does the picture above mean?" ”

"Literally a king with a crown and a staff in his hand + rebel, the sun god + rebel."

Edwin looked at the four words with a magnifying glass, "The rebel is in the back, and there is no name and king name circle, so the meaning should be that this is the rebel at that time, anti-king, anti-sun god." This fragment was most likely unearthed in the tomb of a rebel. ”

Bishr, Ella, and Elding looked at each other suddenly, then they were not relatives of the royal family.

If so, it seems to explain why there are no mausoleums, not even coffins......

But Byshl listened as if it were a means of lowering the price, and said loudly: "Mr. Edwin, I don't care if I am a rebel or not, this is an Egyptian artifact. ”

"I didn't say it wasn't." Edwin whispered, he was already fascinated by the fact that the quality of this pottery fragment was very high, the texture was clear, and the sacred script was the earliest font used in ancient Egypt, if it was a sacred script that focused on ideology, then this fragment could even be traced back to 3000 BC.

The script later evolved to retain only its phonetic function, somewhat like the English alphabet.

The earliest holy book style focused on the form and ideology, and it was very pictorial, and it was easy to understand the meaning it wanted to express by looking at the picture.

But if it was just such a fragment and four words, Edwin couldn't tell which period of holy writing it was, and what it meant......

And the meaning is quite important. Only when more and more complete texts are put together can we judge whether it is a scripture, an inscription, or what, whether it is a record, a blessing, or a mantra, and what nature this fragment comes from.

"Did you bring any other fragments?" Edwin looked up and asked, "I need to figure out the type of fragment before I can give an estimate." ”

The Baishel people hesitated, and Paul Smith also said: "Take it all out, different things have different values." ”

"Mr. Edwin, you'd better explain your insights to us." Bishl said, waving his hand for Ella to take something out of her backpack, and while staring at Edwin's old face, Ella took out the remaining three pieces and placed them on the table.

"Lighter!" Seeing the rudeness of the other party's movements, Edwin couldn't help but shout, his heart was already inclined to these are genuine, and the artifacts that have existed for thousands of years are very fragile.

"Mr. Edwin, it seems that you are quite satisfied with our goods." Erdin could see the other's concern.

Ella and Bishl immediately laughed when they heard this, but Edwin didn't respond, and began to try to piece together the four fragments.

These are indeed fragments of the same pottery, broken in shapes that can be put together like a bowl-like vessel, and the words are carved into the middle of the bowl, all so clear that time cannot erode their lines.

Edwin frowned and looked at the holy script on the four fragments, I don't know why, the more I looked, the more my heart felt an indescribable churn......

There was no punctuation in the ancient Egyptian language, but sometimes different expressions would be written in separate lines and in different sizes.

Four fragments, spelled out four sentences.

From left to right, the first sentence [???????? 】

The second sentence [???? 】

The third sentence [?????????? 】

The fourth sentence [???????? 】

"First sentence, rebel of the king, rebel of the sun god."

Edwin thought as he whispered to others, "The second sentence, stone + pustule - that is, disease...... Stone disease, pustules caused by stones, diseases caused by stones, which can be the cause of death of the deceased...... The third sentence, bird trap + dissected pustule - represents medicine + bird + flock of birds + death, a trap for birds? Kill the bird with medicine...... The fourth sentence, the ram-headed god + new world + new birth + power ......"

It's a stone disease again, and it's a bird killer again, Baishl scratched his head when he heard it, "What does that mean?" ”

Not to mention these three traffickers, Paul Smith can't figure it out, in fact, modern people have limited understanding of the ancient Egyptian language, not only do they still not understand the meaning of many words, but many of the words they are connected to express are based on speculation.

"Stone Disease ......" Edwin looked at the fragments, and was he sure that this was the cause of the rebel's death? Or the rebels' way of rebellion?

Who carved this inscription? By the king's people? Or is it by the rebels?

This directly determines the meaning of the words, especially the third and fourth sentences......

"It seems to be in those days." Edwin said, feeling more and more messy, "There was a rebellion against the land of the sun gods, related to an illness...... Mr. Baishel, I have all these fragments, what treasures do you have? ”

"Haha, that's a lot, but it's much more expensive than these fragments." Byshel rejoiced, and Ella rejoiced, "You may not be able to buy it." ”

As Edwin spoke, he looked thoughtfully at the ancient text on the four fragments:
