More than 3,000 years ago, Thutmose, the 18th Pharaoh of the New Kingdom, ordered a tunnel to be dug into a hidden rock face in the Thebes Mountains in the Valley of the Kings to store the remains. Since then, successive pharaohs have continued to construct their tombs in this way. Some of the most popular among tourists include the Tombs of the Messis, the Tombs of Horenhib, the Tombs of Monipta, and Tutankhamun's Tombs.

Since Tutankhamun's tomb has been closed for many days, visitors to the Valley of the Kings can only visit other tombs. We enter through the main entrance of the mausoleum and follow the route that visitors have traditionally taken.

What I saw along the way was truly breathtaking.

The most crucial part of Tutankhamun's mausoleum is the coffin chamber where the golden coffin is kept. Originally, there were three golden coffins, one on top of the other, placed in a rectangular quartz sarcophagus. Only the outermost layer remains in the mausoleum, and the other two layers, along with Tutankhamun's golden mask, are on display at the Egyptian Museum.

The sarcophagus is surrounded by a relief of the goddess with her arms and wings stretched out to support the foot of the coffin, implying to prevent outsiders from encroaching.

Today's mausoleum, except for a few mummies and coffins, only the walls are full of frescoes, and most of the cultural relics have long been transferred to the Egyptian Museum. These murals record the story between man and god, god and god, the ancient Egyptians liked to worship animals as gods, and hundreds of gods were painted in each pharaoh's tomb. The imagination of the ancient Egyptians, like that of the ancient Chinese, liked to fantasize about stories full of mysteries.

Among the many frescoes, I saw the same image of the goddess as on the sarcophagus, and next to her, there was a strange pattern like a knot, which was very religious.

We weren't going to stay here, as the newly excavated entrance to the chamber was still deeper, with some blockades and cover-ups. I heard that when the secret room of the underground palace was first discovered, it was open as usual during the day, and it was only secretly started at night to prevent it from being detected by the outside world.

But several of us couldn't help but stare at the mural for a while, and while I was looking at the mysterious pattern, Zhang Lun leaned over and said, "This is called Tiyet, and it is the symbol of the goddess Isis." ”

"Isis?" I was slightly startled.

Zhang Lun explained: "Well, Isis was the goddess of life in ancient Egypt, and the pharaohs regarded her as their mother, so every pharaoh's tomb has a pattern of Isis. ”

"Have you heard of the legend of Isis's resurrection?" I suddenly remembered the original return case, and it was Yi that the Almighty God Cult believed in

The goddess of the Sith. However, in that case, although Chen Fang was resurrected, he basically became a living dead and had nothing to do with Isis.

"What legend?"

I tried my best to recall: "Legend has it that a woman was killed every month to sacrifice to Isis, and then one of her parts was removed, and when all the parts were put together into a whole person, a prayer to Isis was devout to bring the dead back to life." ”

"What's the mess, you've watched too many movies, right?" Zhang Lun sneered disdainfully.

I didn't expect to be ridiculed by Zhang Lun, and I said angrily: "It's all said to be a legend, of course there are true and false." ”

"Anyway......" Zhang Lun glanced around, and found that the attention of the others was on the mural, so he whispered in my ear, "Isis is a bit similar to Nuwa's intestines, could it be some clue?" ”

"I don't know." I replied casually.

"Let's go, seeing these millennia-old murals, I can't wait to enter the hidden underground chamber, and maybe Tutankhamun's mother is buried inside." Balder suddenly gave a speech with excitement.

"Don't you say that the old man's mother is Isis?" I asked Zhang Lun.

Zhang Lun glanced at me and said, "That's recognized, of course people have mothers, although they are also stepmothers." There is no mention of Tutankhamun's own mother in the ancient books. ”

"Who is the stepmother?" I asked again.

My voice seemed to be heard by Balde, who took the initiative to explain to me: "Her name is Nefertiti, and she is a peerless beauty who once ruled Egypt with Tutankhamun, and can be called the Empress of Egypt, Wu Zetian. It's a pity that the people who excavated earlier are all dead, and we can't get a definite conclusion about whether it is her tomb or not. More than a decade ago, I suggested that Tutankhamun's mausoleum could not be alone, but should have been buried with his mother, and today, I am finally able to verify my inference! ”

Let's not evaluate the content of his speech, this translator is very good, and there is not a single sentence in such a long paragraph.

Looking at his radiant appearance, I asked in some surprise: "Professor Ba, the people who went to the tomb before are all dead, so you are not afraid at all?" ”

Balder said: "You know, even if you dedicate yourself to the cause of archaeology, every archaeologist will not hesitate to do it. ”

I whispered to Zhang Lun: "Three hundred and sixty lines, there are crazy people." ”

Balde didn't care if we went or not, he was in the front

As the conversation continued to go deeper, his student Chen Keying glanced at us a little helplessly and chose to follow behind the teacher. The three of us had no choice but to leave the coffin.

As we walked, the lights in the mausoleum became dimer and dim, and behind us we reached the back of the middle of nowhere, where the tourists stopped. The parts that are open on the outside are all repaired by craftsmen, and the back is almost all incomplete and has no value for visiting.

The diagram of the mausoleum is in Balde's possession, and he leads us to a previously excavated entrance to the underground palace. However, after the accident, the Egyptian construction team filled the hole door with sand and stones, and threw shovels and other tools aside.

"That's it, dig it." Balder pointed to a mound of sand, and then the other three looked at me and Zhang Lun together.

"Yes, you have to be a coolie." Zhang Lun smiled bitterly.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Whoever lets us men, you can't let Lao Ba dig it, right?" People's lifelong dreams are right in front of them, and if we die of exhaustion at the door, we are both sinners for the ages. ”

We dug for more than ten minutes, and finally saw a hole, and then we worked harder and harder, and after more than half an hour, a rectangular door full of two people appeared in front of everyone, and inside was a path that winded downward, but it was dark on all sides.

"I'll go down and have a look." Just as Zhang Lun and I were wiping our sweat, Balder was the first to rush through the door, and his figure disappeared in the darkness in a short time.

Zhang Lun looked at me and said, "I see that he is in good health." ”

Chen Keying and Rowling quickly followed, and when they approached the door, Rowling patted me on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, you are such a gentleman." ”

Zhang Lun looked at Rowling's back and said unhappily: "Hey, who is the gentleman to scold, I'm a tough guy!" ”

I threw the shovel away, stepped briskly into the hole, and chuckled softly, "Then you are the queen, tough guy." ”

……

"Strangers who have trespassed into the sleeping place of Our Lady, I give you the most cruel punishment in the name of the High Priest. Humble bugs have no right to plead, from the warriors of darkness, wake up, tear them apart with your sharp claws, and awaken the sleeping queen with their lives......"

On the banks of the Nile, on the edge of the Valley of the Kings desert, brutal sand and dust swept abruptly up. In the midst of the golden sand, a figure loomed, holding a scepter in his hand, wearing a golden crown on his head, and dancing with his hands held high to the howling wind. No one saw it, and no one could hear the words that came out of his mouth.
