Chapter 426: Pharaoh's Concentration Camp
Gao Qian's eyes widened in surprise.
He saw pyramids rising from the surface of the lake, densely and spectacularly stacked on top of each other.
Some of these pyramids are located on the banks of the fertile Nile River, surrounded by lush vegetation. Some are located on deserts with yellow sand, while others are located beneath the surface of the lake, which seems to mean that the pyramid is hidden deep underground.
There are so many pyramids lined up on the surface of this lake, some even overlapping one another, but this seems to have little effect on the pharaohs inside. Gao Qian saw the pharaoh of the two overlapping tombs happily greeting, and walked up the steps of the mausoleum, and when he reached the vent, he slowly turned in one direction and walked back to back to the other burial chamber.
Most of these tombs were empty, and the chambers were so badly damaged that Gao Qian realized that this meant that tomb robbers had visited the area.
However, some of the pyramids look resplendent in gold.
Gao Qian stared at an underwater burial chamber, in which the female pharaoh sat lazily on the throne, flanked by two guards and maids, and under her throne, there stood several ministers with restrained expressions, old appearances, and gorgeous robes.
"It was the female pharaoh Nitocles, with a beauty that no woman could match at the time, but with the bravery and wisdom of a man. She took over the throne of Pharaoh after her husband's murder, so that her husband's enemies did not dare to act rashly for a while. Then she built a special basement and invited her enemies to a feast when it was finished, and when they were full of food and drink, she opened the floodgates, threw in the water of the Nile, and drowned all their enemies. Later, he also returned to his dormitory and committed suicide. Anubis said in a low voice, "Her tomb was buried deep in the ground and has not yet been found. ”
Gao Qian carefully looked at the golden scepter that the female pharaoh held in her hand, and muttered, "I know where she is buried. ”
Anubis looked at the high dive in surprise.
"She was buried in the deepest part of the Valley of the Kings, her tomb was extravagant and not visited by any tomb robbers. ”
"How do you know?"
He would not tell Anubis that the royal robe he had borrowed earlier for the funeral belonged to the female pharaoh, so it was no wonder that he wore it with a special short ......
"Why are these pharaohs still here? Are they reluctant to leave? Some of them have been dead for more than 5,000 years, right?"
Gao Qian saw the female pharaoh stretch out her hand to the maid beside her, and the maid put a string of golden rings on her, and after a while, the maid took off the rings one by one according to Pharaoh's wishes.
It seems that the female pharaoh's life after death is also quite boring.
"Some of them don't want to leave, some of them can't. ”
"Why can't you leave?"
Anubis pointed ahead again, and the image in front of the high dive changed again. The pharaohs' former well-dressed and regal appearance is gone. At this moment, most of the pharaohs were in tatters, and the jewels they were wearing had long been looted by tomb robbers. Some of their bodies have lost their heads or arms, which means that their mummies in the world have been completely destroyed. There are even pharaohs with their chests and abdomen wide open, and the filling inside has been removed, like a walking skeleton. Gao Qian estimates that the body of this pharaoh must be in a laboratory in some Western world.
"There are a hundred and seventy pharaohs here, and almost every pharaoh's tomb has been stolen. From the moment the pharaohs ascended to the throne, they were preparing for the afterlife. They longed for eternal life, and Pharaoh's patron god may have promised them eternal life. However, this is the case now. ”
"What is preventing them from gaining eternal life?" In fact, the high dive is still skeptical about the existence of such a thing.
"Before pharaohs enter the Gate of Eternal Life, they are allowed to stay in the fairy garden of the gods for a period of time, which allows them to clear their minds, cleanse their minds, and ensure that a clean and unburdened soul enters the Gate of Eternal Life. ”
"Is this the Pharaoh's prerogative?"
"Pharaoh built a temple for the gods. Anubis reminded of the high dive.
"Well, the power-for-money trade since ancient times. Gao Qian sneered slightly.
"The length of time spent in the garden depends on how long it takes for the pharaohs to obtain a clean soul, but during this time, their tombs have been damaged, and even more severely, their corpses have been damaged. ”
"You mean tomb robbing. ”
"Yes, these poor pharaohs, almost none of them were spared. Before the pharaohs entered the gates of eternal life, their souls needed to rest in a sealed burial chamber and their bodies were to carry them. The damaged burial chamber has damaged their souls, and the damaged corpses have deprived them of the opportunity to have a complete soul. And without a complete soul, they cannot enter the gate of eternal life. ”
"Eternal life? Is there really eternal life?"
"Becoming a god can lead to eternal life, but that requires great faith to support, and these pharaohs naturally cannot obtain enough faith to become gods after death, except for the sacrifices of their descendants. So it was up to Horus, the patron saint of the pharaohs, to take care of them. ”
"Pharaoh built a magnificent temple during his lifetime, worshipped the gods, and was protected by the gods after his death, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it?"
"You mean fairness, equality, and so on. During my stay in the East, I listened a lot to the idea of equality and equal rights. ”
The high dive looked at Anubis and nodded, "What do you think?"
"Well, with all due respect, I don't think there is absolute equality in this world, the so-called equality is just artificially created. ”
"Artificially created, do you think equality is an illusion?"
"No, I mean that the equal rights enjoyed by ordinary human beings are enacted and implemented under the protection of a strong regime. This is equality guaranteed by great power, which in itself is an inequality. ”
High Diving stared at Anubis without speaking.
"Just as Horus used his divine power to guarantee eternal life to Pharaoh, it was a promise guaranteed by great power. Ordinary human beings can be measured by the scale of fairness and enter the gate of death or hell. This is likewise the promise of the great god of the jackal. ”
"You're trying to say that if I'm not happy with a system, I'm going to be a rulemaker?"
Anubis bent down deeply: "My master, this is exactly what I want to say. ”
"Well, I'm not happy with the fact that these pharaohs can be blessed in life and enter the gate of eternal life after death, and I want to re-establish the rules. ”
