Chapter 78 Pyramids

The roads in Egypt are very congested, there are no yellow lines or white lines on any roads, and all the drivers are racing against time to fill up all the gaps that can be occupied on the road, and only the intersection where the police are standing is slightly better to stop these crazy drivers.

When you go to the pyramids, you can see a large number of demonstrators in Tahrir Square, in fact, because of the expansion of Cairo's urban area, you can see the pyramids clearly in the city now, and there are not many high-rise buildings in Cairo.

The vehicle crossed the Nile and entered the LC district of Cairo, on the east bank of the Nile, which is also known as the City of the Dead. Because it is full of large round Muslim cemeteries, it is called the City of the Dead.

But now, the city of the dead is inhabited by the living, because the vast expanse of the poor of Egypt cannot afford to live in other cities, so they have to live in this city of the dead, which is basically the symbol of the poorest and most chaotic.

The Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Pyramid of Giza, because these three pyramids are in the Giza district of Cairo, the speed of going out of the city is fast, and soon Qin Mubai and they have already reached the periphery of the pyramid, and the tickets have been bought a long time ago.

The black bar went to stamp it, and then took them through the ticket hall, and as soon as they got out of the ticket hall, a huge pyramid appeared in front of Qin Mubai and them.

I have to say that the names of the Eight Wonders of the World were not blown out, which is really shocking! Especially since such a huge project was established more than 4,000 years ago, it is really terrifying.

At that time, the Egyptians were estimated to be the most advanced civilization in the world, the Pyramid of Giza had a total of three large and three small, the largest and most majestic of the three large pyramids was naturally the Pyramid of Khufu, which was also the largest, most mysterious and most studied pyramid.

Its height is 146 meters, which is roughly equivalent to the height of a forty or fifty story building, but now due to the passage of time, it is only 138 meters high.

The entire pyramid is made up of 2.3 million boulders, with an average weight of 2.5 tons per stone.

It has to be said that this was a crazy project in those days, when the pyramid was first built, it was covered with a layer of sand and gravel mixed with mud, but the long time has weathered the mud, and now only the boulders are exposed to maintain their original appearance.

"Do you know where your coffin is?" Qin Mubai asked in a low voice, he hadn't forgotten that the two people yesterday said that they had confirmed where Khufu's coffin was, and they would come to find it tonight.

"I don't know, I need to go inside and take a look. Khufu looked at the two huge stone girves halfway up the pyramid, and below it was a hole that led to the inside of the pyramid.

Qin Mubai immediately said hello to the black bar, and it was also possible to visit inside, but the ticket was independent, about 200 Egyptian pounds, almost about 200 RMB.

Naturally, he wanted to keep up, but at this time, the opening time of the interior had not yet arrived, because the opening hours of the interior of the Pyramid of Khufu were only two hours a day, two hours a day, and only 300 visitors were allowed every day.

However, the black bar said that it was no problem to hand it over to her, it might be to spend more money, it didn't matter if you spent more money, anyway, this time Qin Mubai went out.

gave the black bar 1,000 pounds for her to deal with, and after about twenty minutes, the black bar came over and told Qin Mubai that he and Hu Fu could go in.

This place is much darker than the domestic scenic spots, and when I went up, the black bar handed over more than a dozen boxes of cool oil to Qin Mubai.

"What are you doing?" Qin Mubai was a little surprised.

"There are some passages in there that you can't enter, but if you want to go in, just give the guards two boxes of cool oil. The black bar whispered.

Qin Mubai: "......"

However, since Hei Bar said so, Qin Mubai didn't know where Khufu was going, so he stuffed these things into his pocket.

According to the black bar, it is usually not allowed to bring backpacks and cameras inside, but Qin Mubai doesn't have a camera, and the backpack guards can just take a look, after all, they are also considered "special care".

Climbed up the halfway point of the pyramid along the steps that had been erected, Qin Mubai was a little painful, this Nima is a mausoleum, he actually doesn't want to go in! I really don't know, how can these kings have a hobby of looking at their own tombs, Lao Qin is okay, people just look, you have to find your own coffin.

What kind of hobby ...... these are.

However, Qin Mubai didn't speak, he could only follow Khufu to walk inside, the entrance is a small passage chiseled out, which was chiseled out by later people to study here, the zigzag little black road is not long, and it is connected to an uphill ramp inside, this ramp should have been reserved back then, it was very stuffy and very hot.

The temperature in the desert is so high that although there is a thick layer of boulders outside, the boulders still transfer heat in, but fortunately the most advanced German ventilation equipment is said to be installed here, so the air is fine.

Qin Mubai followed behind Hu Fu, and he couldn't see any expression on him, but he was probably not in a good mood.

If it was Lao Qin, Qin Mubai felt that he could face it safely, but the personality of this guy Khufu was different from Lao Qin, and he saw that his grave had been dug up like this, and he would be in a good mood before he could have a ghost.

Walking through a narrow passage, it is made of 7 layers of smooth limestone stacked inward, each layer of limestone protruding outward by 7 centimeters, forming a trapezoidal section that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The passage inside the pyramid, known as the Great Corridor, is not wide, and it is hard to imagine how they carried the pharaoh's sarcophagus in.

Qin Mubai and the others turned into a passage next to them, and then entered a stone chamber, according to the introduction of the previous narrator, this is the tomb of the pharaoh, and the sarcophagus without a lid was once the coffin of Khufu.

This stone chamber is not big, there is light in it, and you can see that there is nothing in the sarcophagus in the dark.

"Your Excellency Pharaoh, is this your coffin?" Qin Mubai asked, according to the official explanation, this should be the place, but whether this is true or not, or Khufu has the final say.

"Stupid slave. Khufu sneered and spat out a few words.

Yes, needless to say, it's definitely not, even if people outside think it is, there must be something in it, that is, Khufu's coffin should not have been found so far, but I don't know where it is.

However, the pyramids in Egypt, like some ancient tombs in China, have experienced countless tomb robberies, and only the outer pyramids are left in these pyramids, and the contents have long been taken away by the tomb robbers.
