Chapter 67: What I Saw in the Tomb
"This is Cleopatra's tomb, it's too simple!" Leonard held a searchlight and looked at the dungeon in front of him, which was less than two hundred square meters, and said in surprise.
"Where is the stele, you can see for yourselves!" The sand scorpion sat on the ground angrily, pointed to the stone tablet in the middle, and said.
This group of waste, the old lady did two-thirds of the work alone, and she must add money to the meeting, otherwise she will really lose money.
The whole tomb was empty, except for the stone monument standing in the middle, there were only sculptures on both sides of the stone monument, not even a coffin, no wonder the sand scorpion had no interest in this kind of place.
I still remember that when she dug this ancient tomb, she was excited for a long time, and thought that she could make a fortune, after all, from the outside, this ancient tomb seems to have never been patronized for thousands of years, and the inside should still be intact.
A complete thousand-year-old tomb!
For tomb robbers, there is nothing more exciting, and thinking about those full sets of tombs can make people feel straight to the sky.
It's a pity that when the sand scorpion tried its best to open the tomb, it almost died of anger!
The underground palace of nearly 200 square meters is actually not small compared to the tomb, but the entire tomb is empty, except for a huge stone tablet, there are only stone carvings on both sides, and even the burial goods cannot be seen.
This is rare, but not uncommon.
Because of the limited productivity of the ancient times, the tombs of the big people were built when the deceased was still alive, after all, this thing basically had to be built for several years or even decades to repair, and you can't wait for the people to die and stink and rot before burying them.
But if sometimes, the tomb is repaired but the person has an accident, for example, the country is dead, it will naturally cause this effect of empty tomb.
"This is really a Ptolemaic stele!" Although a few sports rookies are simply a shame for humans in terms of physical strength, but in terms of brains, it is nothing.
In order to make this trip to Egypt, the four guys learned the ancient Egyptian language and the history of ancient Egyptian culture in just a few days, as well as some of the knowledge that might be needed in a mess, which is about the equivalent of a person studying a full four-year university course in ten days plus two graduate diplomas.
Therefore, these weak chickens can now pretend to be half of the ancient history bricks.
"God's twilight is coming, and I will perish forever in this world of annihilation! For the glory of Ra, open the gates of hell! Sheldon translated the words on the stele word for word.
"What are you talking about?" Although it sounds like a spell, it seems to be an epitaph, which is really a bit incomprehensible.
"The general meaning is that Cleopatra had a premonition of the imminent end of her kingdom during her lifetime, so she built an underground crypt here, or else she should have built a pyramid for herself according to the tradition of the ancient Egyptian dynasty." Leonard thought for a moment and said.
"Almost, that woman spent her whole life surrounded by powerful enemies, she married her brother as empress at the age of eighteen according to the tradition of the Tremy dynasty, and then was driven out of the palace three years later, she would have been killed by her own brother, but this woman turned around and seduced the Roman consul Caesar, and used the Roman army to avenge herself." The information about Cleopatra has been completely written down before the visit, so it is now possible to deduce the situation based on some historical sources.
Although Cleopatra used her charm to make the two Roman consuls her guests, she didn't know if she could charm the two most outstanding leaders in the world at the beginning, after all, a woman really didn't matter compared to the great achievement of turning nearly a million square kilometers of Egypt into a Roman province.
Merely!
"Ancient Egypt still has that kind of tradition, it's really too sad (dry) heart (drifting) crazy (bright)!" When he heard that the so-called tradition in ancient Egypt was that as the new pharaoh, he had to marry all his sisters into the harem to ensure the purity of the so-called royal bloodline, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Filthy man!" Although what he said was such righteous words, the sand scorpion still read the hidden thoughts from the other party's envious expression, and as a woman, she naturally expressed strong indignation at this thought.
"Okay, let's ignore the contents of this stone tablet, let's see if there is anything useful first!" Sheldon was still slowly translating the contents of the stele, but it was basically the history of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, which might be priceless to true archaeologists, but to them, it was simply useless.
"You can see it all at a glance, what's there?" Howard pointed to the empty tomb, which was clean as if it had been visited by archaeologists, except for another stone carving on the right hand side of the stele, and nothing had been left.
"Miss Sand Scorpion, was you here when you got this statue?" Li Qingyuan looked at the left hand side of the stone stele, where there was a shallow groove, the size of which was about the same as the wolf head statue in his backpack.
"That's right! That's it, it took me a lot of effort to dig up this tomb, so naturally I had to bring something back! The sand scorpion said a little depressed.
According to the tradition that tomb robbers must never go empty, the sand scorpion had to bring back the statue of Anubis on his left hand, which looked much lighter, after all, the statue of Horus on the left hand is probably not as good as this.
"Sheldon, look at what's written on this?" Li Qingyuan looked at the statue of Horus, and under the statue, there were also a few small characters carved on it.
"God's grace!" The statue of Horus, similar to the statue in his hand, is also a four-word spell.
Of course, in the eyes of normal people, this thing is similar to the Spring Festival couplets posted by flower growers, and there is nothing else to do.
As Li Qingyuan slowly recited the incantation, Sheldon and the others also stopped their movements and looked at him intently.
After all, they have been working together with each other for about half a month, and these four guys already know that Li Qingyuan has a mysterious power, although they can't see it, but it does exist.
"What to do? You guys? The sand scorpion looked at the movements and expressions of the five weak chickens in surprise, and suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart.
In this catacomb, all of a sudden, everyone around you looks like a hell, and everyone is a little panicked!
