readx;?β A bronze statue over 5,500 years old, modeled after the legendary god of death, Anubis, has beautiful lines and lifelike lines. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Angel, the historical consultant who stayed on the ground, could clearly see the situation in the depths of the tomb through the screen, she simply evaluated the statue in Parker's hand, and then ordered: "Keep it safe, this thing is worth a lot of money!" β
"Okay!" Parker nodded, beckoned his men to bring a special container, and placed the idol of Anubis in his hand. According to the previous contract, all the proceeds of this tomb expedition will go to Mr. Aziz, and Parker and his companions will receive a large commission, and then receive a 5% "dividend" based on the actual harvest in the end.
"Now I need you to pry that coffin open." Angel gave the order on behalf of Aziz and said: "You must be careful not to damage anything inside, the pharaoh's mummy and his burial goods before 5,500 years ago, each one is priceless!"
Parker beckoned his men to take crowbars and other tools to find a gap in the coffin, only to find that the coffin was tightly fitted, as if it were a closed whole, and there was no place to start.
After consulting with Angel, Parker used a welding torch to forcibly melt a portion of the coffin, and then gently inserted a crowbar into the gap in the destroyed coffin and pried it upward.
After the heavy coffin lid was pried into activity, the mercenary next to him finally found more places to start on the tightly knit coffin. As more tools were forced through the exposed gaps, the lid was slowly pried open, and Parker and several mercenaries worked together to lift it, and it took a lot of effort to move it to the ground to the side.
In the coffin, a mummy of a pharaoh who had been sleeping for thousands of years was revealed, in the same posture as the relief on the lid of the coffin, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, holding a brightly colored square object tightly to his chest.
"What's, what is this?" When the light used for lighting was reflected off the square object and dazzled the eyes of the mercenaries around him, someone cried out in a lost voice.
The mercenary wearing an infrared camera immediately pointed the camera at it, and Angel on the ground suddenly became out of shape after seeing it: "Quick, let's see what it is!" β
Hearing Angel's command, Parker turned his chin towards the mummy, and a mercenary went over and violently broke the mummy's arm open, allowing Parker to hold the square object in his hand.
Parker felt that it weighed much heavier than expected, and when he picked it up and examined it through the light, Parker was a little surprised to find that the thing in his hand was actually a book made of gold leaf.
"Oh my God, a book made of gold at least 5,500 years ago!" Parker couldn't help but say it out loud, and the idea of greed immediately surged in his heart, the historical value contained in such a thing can no longer be described as priceless, it can definitely be called the level of wealth.
With an idea in his heart, Parker's hand moved a little bigger, and without waiting for Angel's command, he turned the first page of the gold leaf book on his own, revealing the hieroglyphs carved on the page.
The infrared camera faithfully recorded all of this and transmitted it to the display screen on the ground. After seeing the contents of the page, Angel's face changed drastically on the spot, and she no longer had the previous calmness, and hurriedly said in a hurried tone: "Parker, Parker!" Don't mess around, don't flip it again! Wait for me to come in and deal with it myself! β
After saying this, Angel felt that she might be a little speechless, so she explained in a normal tone as much as possible: "Parker, you should understand that this kind of thing that has been in a confined space for a long time, once it is taken out and placed in the air, it is likely to oxidize quickly. Between well-preserved and incomplete, there is at least a tenfold difference in value! β
Although Angel tried his best to hide it, Parker, who was in the pharaoh's tomb, still heard the excitement that this woman could not hide, if Parker only had a little idea before, now Angel's change made him secretly make up his mind.
Andre, who knew everything through the communication channel, took off the headset and said to Yang Guang, who was walking in front of him: "Gibb, they seem to have found what they need!" β
"What is it?" Sean asked curiously, "There don't seem to be any burial goods in that tomb just now!" β
"They found a book in Pharaoh's coffin!" AndrΓ© said in a tone of disbelief: "A book made of gold!" This shows that 5,500 years ago, the civilization here already had a written ...... for transmission"
After hearing the news, Yang Guang interrupted Andrei's emotion without hesitation: "I suggest that we speed up our pace, if you don't plan to bury Amsey here!" β
Andre and Sean glanced at each other, this was the second time Yang Guang had mentioned this matter, could it be that he had already sensed that there was something wrong with this pharaoh's tomb?
If AndrΓ© and Sean were to take a closer look at the pharaoh's tomb, which was hidden beneath the ground, they would have discovered that it was actually perched upside down on a hollow cliff.
When Pharaoh Amshei's coffin was opened, and the heavy lid of the coffin, which required the combined efforts of four or five men to carry away, was removed, the mechanism under the coffin began to kick in due to the weight it was carrying, and a large amount of sand poured into the closed chamber from the open passage.
There are many such burial chambers, and when they are filled with sand, like a gradual increase in weights on the scale, little by little the originally stable and balanced pedestal is pryed up, so that the originally downward end begins to tilt upward.
It all changed silently until the base was fully cocked like a seesaw, and the rocks, which had been in a fixed position below, began to slide down the sloping tunnel deep underground.
The passage of the slide became steeper and steeper, and the huge rock that slid down became faster and faster, converting potential energy into powerful kinetic energy, smashing one pillar after another to support the mausoleum along the way, causing the mausoleum, which had remained stable for thousands of years, to shake unsteadily.
"Earthquake?" Holding the weapon in his hand tightly, Parker, who was waiting for Angel to come in, said to his companion with some strange feelings.
"Damn it! Come on! Andrei, who felt all this, shouted loudly, threw away the bits and pieces of his body, and stepped out of his legs and sped up.
"Oops, this must be Pharaoh's curse, it must be!" Angel, who had only been able to enter the tomb for only a few minutes, shouted angrily, "Parker, bring that book to the ground immediately, immediately!" (To be continued.) )
