Chapter 71 There are others

Because the people here can't understand the conversation, not to mention that they speak Egyptian Arabic, even he can't understand English, because once these people speak English quickly, it is estimated that it is good to be able to understand one or two words at his English level.

But he could understand what these two people were saying! Of course, they were not speaking Chinese! But ancient Egyptian! Qin Mubai reacted instantly.

According to some notes in Egyptian in his mind, Qin Mubai instantly figured out that this should belong to the Coptic language in the middle of ancient Egyptian, which belongs to the Afro-Asian language family and has a deep connection with the Semitic language family and North African languages.

But with the passage of time and the rule of the Arabs in Egypt, their writing and language gradually disappeared, and finally became today's Egyptian Arabic, but the language and script used by the pharaohs and some nobles in the middle of the ancient Egyptian language have been lost.

However, a considerable part of some folk languages at that time, or the languages that belonged to slaves at that time, were handed down, and this part of the language gradually developed later, and then when the slavery system died out, some people created a script based on these languages that were originally slaves, and this part is Coptic.

At that time, the language used by the Egyptian pharaohs and sacrifices was different from the language used by slaves, but I did not expect that the language of slaves was slowly passed down.

In modern times, Coptic is spoken by a very small number of people in Egypt, but these people are very few, and it is estimated that there are absolutely no more than 10 people in Egypt, most of whom are Coptic Orthodox people. But he didn't expect that now Qin Mubai actually met two.

And these two are obviously emboldened, thinking that no one will understand Coptic, so they are discussing it openly.

However, when Qin Mubai walked by, they still stopped, and when they saw that Qin Mubai was an Asian, they spoke directly unscrupulously.

"Have you already determined the location?" The two men looked to be in their thirties, but Qin Mubai observed through the corner of his eye, one of them was obviously not Egyptian, but European and American, anyway, it was white from Europe and the United States, as for which country Qin Mubai didn't know.

Walking here, he slowed down the speed of the visit, anyway, the two people thought that no one could understand Coptic, although they lowered their voices, but they didn't care if there was someone next to them.

"Well, we're going to leave tomorrow night, near the Pyramid of Khufu. Another man said with certainty, "Copy it quickly, copy down the text here, according to the professor, some of the text contains a description of the relevant organs." ”

Qin Mubai didn't dare to come over, the ghost knew what these two men were doing, he was on the opposite side of these two men carefully studying the cultural relics here, there are a lot of ancient texts on them, judging from the descriptions of these words, the documents recorded on this part of the cultural relics are indeed describing things about the Khufu period.

However, the part that Qin Mubai sees here is more of a praise, there are some things similar to poetry, and a considerable part of it is narrating mythology, for example, there is a passage in it that describes that Khufu was blessed by the great god Ra, that is, the Egyptian sun god.

After negotiating with Anubis, the god of death, the god Ra extradited the soul of Pharaoh Hunikhov to the world of the dead who belonged to the god Ra forever.

This is awesome, Qin Mubai shook his head slightly, to be honest, although what Qin Mubai is doing now is quite weird, but I don't know why, anyway, Qin Mubai doesn't believe in the existence of gods until now.

However, Qin Mubai didn't stay, the ghost only knew how long the two men were going to stay there, and after a long time, wouldn't it be exposed, so he left here directly and slowly, and went around in a big circle in the museum, Qin Mubai visited almost all the places visited.

In the end, they went back to the place just now, and the two men didn't know if they had finished copying, and the two of them were no longer there.

Qin Mubai immediately walked to the side where they were and took a closer look, this look, Qin Mubai was slightly surprised, don't you say, there really seem to be some descriptions of institutions and the like, such as this paragraph, it is written that Khufhuni's coffin will float on the river of the Styx, guarded by Anubis, the caretaker of the underworld.

Because the Egyptians believed that the body was a store for the soul, and that if they wanted to be resurrected or reborn, they had to protect their shells, so they invented mummies.

This sentence seems to be a description, but in fact, it may also have something to do with the mechanism, for example, the river of the River Styx, maybe it is some man-made weird thing.

With everything in his mind in mind, Qin Mubai left here and walked outside.

When he walked to the exit, to Qin Mubai's surprise, he actually saw those two people again, these two people didn't know if they went to other places, and they came out from another direction at this time.

Qin Mubai hesitated, they didn't pay attention to themselves, but Qin Mubai wasn't sure if they remembered their appearance when he just passed by them, he wanted to follow and see where these people went.

But these people don't need to think about it to know that they are definitely not good people, and if good people knew about Khufu's coffin, they would have reported it to the Egyptian government a long time ago, so how could they go and dig it up secretly?

Fortunately, when Qin Mubai came out, he carried out his small backpack, opened the small backpack, put on his baseball cap and sunglasses, and took out a blue sunscreen suit from it and put it on, and then quickly followed.

He still decided to follow and take a look, reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, if it was before, he would never dare, but now his physical fitness is several times stronger than before, even if he encounters danger, he can run, and it is daytime, there should not be too much danger.

I hope these two people didn't drive, if they drove the car, it is estimated that Qin Mubai would not be able to keep up with them, he didn't have a car.

Out of the Cairo Museum, these two people went straight to the vicinity of the subway station, which made Qin Mubai a little happy, if you go to the subway, it will be much better.

There are only two subway lines in Cairo, and these two men are on one of them, Qin Mubai doesn't know where they are going, but he simply bought the farthest road to the First World War, so that he can go out anywhere.

Compared with other poor traffic conditions in Cairo, Cairo's subway has made Qin Mubai a little surprised, the subway here is quite humane, there are introductions to countless tourist attractions, and there are women-only carriages, because this is also an Islamic country.

It didn't matter if he couldn't read Egyptian, as long as the two men could read it.
