These are typical colors, and there are several that are also very representative:

Blue is the color of the sky, the gods, and the water.

The ancient Egyptians loved azurite, lapis lazuli jewelry and its inlaid objects. Blue was used to depict the hair of the gods (especially lapis lazuli, or dark Egyptian blue) and the face of the god Amun, a practice that was later extended to the pharaohs associated with him.

Yellow is the color of a woman's skin. If it's gold, yellow is still the color of the rising sun, representing perfection. Yellow and reddish yellow are used to depict the skin of the gods, but some gods are also painted with blue, green, or black skin.

Finally, there is a highly controversial color, red.

Red represents chaos and disorder. The color of the desert (called "red earth" in ancient Egyptian) is the opposite of the fertile black earth. Therefore, red is also the color of fire and anger that destroys mière, and is used to represent something dangerous. Due to its association with the desert, red became the color of the god Seth (the traditional god of chaos).

In ancient Egypt, the desert was a place of exile and hard labor in the mines, so the color red represented death. The desert is also seen as the place where the sun disappears every night, and is the entrance to hell. When it represents chaos, it is considered the anticolor of white; When it represents death, it is considered to be the opposite color of green and black.

However, this red was regarded as the most powerful color in ancient Egypt and was also considered "life and protection", derived from blood and living fire, and was widely used in amulets.

Therefore, it is natural that the color red also has a wide range of applications in this burial chamber.

On the wall against a large red background. The humanoid sarcophagi placed on the side of the wall are particularly conspicuous. These humanoid sarcophagi are all cast according to the face and body shape of the person, especially the faces of those sarcophagi, which are almost exactly the same as the faces of real people. It's just that in terms of color and proportions, some exaggerated embellishments have been made.

In particular, the gem set in the chest of the sarcophagus figure shines even brighter under the illumination of the light. All kinds of gemstones, against the backdrop of flickering firelight, are even more intoxicating. On the edges of the walls and on the walls, there are also scattered with various gemstones.

When the old ghost saw the jeweled sarcophagus in front of him, he immediately came to his senses. The excitement of the two eyes is obvious, and anyone can open it. It was a heartfelt desire. It is no exaggeration to say. It was a deep ** aroused brilliant gaze.

Thinking of the losses we had suffered before, and seeing the old ghost like this, my head suddenly became bigger. Before the old ghost made a move, I hurriedly reminded him not to lose his mind. Don't be greedy anymore. Cause unnecessary trouble.

Previous practice. It has left us with no way out. Now we can't let him do any more nonsense. In this extraordinary environment, we must be doubly careful in our behavior. Although these rare treasures are extremely valuable, I believe in them. These things are not something that we can get easily.

Qian Cheng and I glanced at each other and understood each other's thoughts. It is easy for a person to lose his mind in the face of the treasures of the sky. Just like before, we all have lingering feelings about the old ghost's behavior. Therefore, we both always be vigilant against the old ghost's words and deeds, and beware of any more radical behavior from him.

Although we also love money, the ancients taught us since childhood: "Don't take ill-gotten wealth." I'm afraid that we have a destiny to take it, but we will not be blessed. Since ancient times, many historical experiences have taught us that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The more readily available the wealth, the more problematic it is.

When we entered the door before, we didn't let the old ghost take the crystal stone down. Because I have already had this kind of experience before, if I take down this stone gate and then close it immediately, it will be called heaven and earth not spiritual. The old ghost said that if there was a stone gate behind him, he might be able to use it.

Qian Chengdu and I have always been against it, so I told him that we would go back and get it when we needed it.

However, just as we were all shocked by the scene in front of us, the old ghost took advantage of the loophole. Pull out the little short knife that he and I bought earlier, and use the tip of the knife to lift the black gem on the wall!

Just as we tried to stop it, we heard a "poof", and the old ghost had already ripped off a black gem on the wall. The old ghost just wanted to check it out, but found that it was not a gem at all, but a beetle with a somewhat transparent shell. Before the old ghost could go up to check, the "jewel" stretched out, stretched out his legs, and ran away quickly.

Qian Cheng shouted: "Be careful! ”。 I was aware of the same problem, and it was most likely the legendary Egyptian beetle that devoured the beetle.

Insect devouring was one of the most vicious curses of ancient Egypt.

In ancient Egypt, pharaohs would have a beetle made of precious stones on their mummies, a kind of spirit that guarded the undead. The pharaoh's tombstone was also inscribed with various incantations to deter tomb robbers who dared to invade the pharaoh's body. Among them is a poisonous curse, which is to curse tomb robbers to be stung to death by ten thousand insects.

In ancient Egypt, there was also such torture as insect devouring. The torturers were heinous and heinous sinners who had never been executed in Egyptian history. However, historical records record that the victims were gouged out of their eyes, cut out their tongues, and mummified alive into iron coffins, in which hundreds of carnivorous scarabs were placed, and the inmates could feel the beetles crawling in their bodies when they were dying.

The curse is also planted, and if someone recites the Black Sutra of the Dead, he will be resurrected and possessed infinite mana. Egypt will have ten signs of ruin, such as water turning into blood, the resurrection of the dead, meteorites falling one after another, and so on. Only by reciting the Golden Sutra of the Sun (i.e., the Sutra of Resurrection) can the curse be removed.

Such torture is reflected in the movie "The Return of the Mummy". Immorton had an affair with the pharaoh princess Suanna, and was inadvertently broken by the pharaoh, and the two worked together to kill the pharaoh, and the princess was forced to kill by the guards. Immorton risked his life to infiltrate the royal tomb and steal his mummy for a resurrection ritual to recall his soul.

When she was about to be resurrected, the ritual was interrupted by the guards, and Suana's soul was sent back to the underworld. Immorton was also punished for betraying his duties as a high priest and disturbing the peace of the royal family.

Thousands of years later, Nafidili, who was also a female warrior with Suanna, was reincarnated as an English girl, Eve, and went on an expedition with O'Connor. After excavating the Bible of the Dead, he inadvertently recited it aloud to resurrect Immorton, who had been unearthed at the time. After that, a series of battles between good and evil were fought.

In the end, Immorton's resurrection goal did not succeed.

The so-called "insect devouring" torture seems to have only been documented in wild histories, novels, and movies. But when I saw this beetle, I realized that this kind of torture is real. (To be continued......)
