In the face of the audience's request, Bi Fang sternly refused.

[I have reason to doubt who Fang Shen is connotating (dog head)]

[Fang Shen is not a robber, but someone is]

[Don't talk about what you don't have, go inside and have a look]

[Boring, don't want treasure, we want to see the blood flow like a river!] 】

The light of the fire flickered, illuminating every square inch.

The information on the walls is extremely rich and clear, and there are a large number of pictures in dense drawings, which are quite beautiful.

Brown-skinned figures lined up on it, as if they were sacrificing something.

Bi Fang looked a little dizzying.

When it comes to the pyramids of ancient Egypt, everyone knows about it, but when it comes to the mastaba, the predecessor of the ancient Egyptian pyramids, few people know about it.

But it's also part of a visit to Egypt.

This may be the first time the tomb has been exposed to the world, and he is the first to see it, and at the same time, he is accompanied by tens of millions of spectators, and the number is growing.

Many people sent out a barrage of admiration and incredulity.

At first, the quicksand on the ground loosened, revealing a cavern, and no one realized the exaggeration of the matter.

Bi Fang would actually find such a unique scene underground.

This isn't a natural cave, it's a ruin!

A true ancient ruin!

This, of course, caused another sensation on the internet.

With the progress of human science and technology, and one satellite after another flying into the sky, there may be unfound losses in the primeval forest, but the desert has almost no secrets for people.

As soon as the satellite photos are taken, you can see where the pyramids are at a glance, and there is no need to ride a camel and go through a lot of trouble to find it.

As a result, almost all the undiscovered ruins in the desert are located underground, or in a canyon crevasse, which is not easy to find.

It is precisely because of this that in the 21st century, there is no longer an explorer like Howard Carter, an archaeologist of the Central Kingdom, who became famous for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun.

The difficulty of finding ruins is getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer explorers, and this kind of news of discovering ruins seems to really only exist in the last century, in history, in movies.

I never thought that it really appeared in reality, just like the movie Mu Mu Yin became a reality.

"A mastaba is different from a pyramid in that it is completely exposed above the ground, and although a mastaba has a ground part, it is not a tall building in itself, and it is more like a bungalow than a tall building like a pyramid."

"If the location is not coincidental, a few sandstorms may come down, and it may be buried underground."

"What's more, some of them don't even have a surface part, and they are completely buried in the ground."

Bi Fang was probably most thrilled by the discovery of this lost ruin, and it was the archaeologists who studied the history of ancient Egypt.

During the time he had entered the ruins, he had already seen a large circle of people asking him about the location of the matter, all kinds of barrage languages, if it weren't for the systematic translation, some languages would not even be incomprehensible to him.

Not to mention the excitement of the audience, they are excited about everything they watch.

It's just that across the screen, after all, it was not shocking to be there in person.

Watching it in the video, I have never been able to personally experience the weight of that sense of history.

Footsteps sounded in the empty corridor, and light and shadow swayed with it.

While Bi Fang looked at the murals, he also popularized some history about ancient Egypt to the audience.

"The original pyramids were layered mastabas, and the mud bricks became whole stone bricks, one layer narrower than the other, until the top, so we can see that many of the pyramids are in the form of steps, and there are many rooms inside."

[Is that pyramid out there like that?] 】

[I always thought that the pyramid was destroyed, or collapsed to become a stepped ......]

[This tomb is definitely not long before the Pyramid of Djoser, and all kinds of details have been quite perfected]

[Djosel Pyramid, I've heard of it, it seems to be the first pyramid, right?] 】

With the continuous progress of ancient Egyptian civilization, the Egyptian pharaohs began to have a higher pursuit of various sacrificial rituals.

During the reign of Pharaoh Djoser, from about 2635 to 2610 B.C., Pharaoh Djosserp ordered his vizier Imhotep to build him a new type of tomb that was different from the previous mastaba.

Imhotep was a man of genius who, after being tasked by the pharaoh, began to work on the design of a new tomb.

In the ancient Egyptian conception, the pharaoh was the son of the sun god Amun, the agent and incarnation of the god on earth. After pharaoh died, his soul ascended to heaven.

With this in mind, Imhotep began to design a mausoleum in the shape of a step, meaning to serve as a staircase to heaven after the pharaoh's death.

The new mausoleum designed by Imhotep is built on the foundation of a mastaba, but unlike the traditional mastaba, the new mausoleum is made of six mastabas superimposed on top of each other, and the mausoleum is not built with mud bricks, but with large stones.

Each mastaba is smaller than the next, overlapping upwards in a stepped pattern.

"The final work is the Pyramid of Djoser, which is 62 meters high and has a base of 109 meters by 125 meters, with a total of six floors, and is the first stepped pyramid in history."

"Unlike many later Egyptian pyramids, all of the interior spaces of the step pyramids were underground, including the huge central shaft that led to the burial chamber."

"The underground passage of the step pyramid is more than 6 kilometers long, and the complex structure is like a labyrinth, which is probably the result of the continuous experimentation required in the construction of the new mausoleum."

"At the same time, there will be many blue bricks inlaid on both sides of the underground passage, which means that the pharaoh will rise to the sky after his death."

Bi Fang walked to the end of a passage, where he saw a small staircase with a small platform on top of it.

The platform is not high, it looks like there is only a eucalyptus, I don't know what it is for.

[Weakly ask, do you have to know astronomy and geography when you are an anchor now?] 】

[That's right]

[If you don't understand the eight Chinese dialects, you are embarrassed to come out and be an anchor? ] 】

"Later, the pharaohs pursued more and more spectacle, and the pyramids became larger and larger, and the structure that was too complex underground would cause too many internal hollows, and finally the weight was insufficient, and the whole was very easy to collapse."

"There was a partial collapse at the base of the Pyramid of Djoser, so that the layered pyramid evolved into a solid center, leaving only the corridor and the final burial chamber, and the overall appearance became very smooth, as if it were one."

"The epitome of this solid pyramid is Khufu, the largest pyramid in the world, which was the tallest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was built in Paris in 1888."

Bi Fang then walked through many more passages, many of which ended in small "eucalyptus platforms" like the ones he had just seen, and all of them were on the north side, and there were broken wooden ship fragments near some of them.

Seeing these fragments of wooden boats, Bi Fang knew what the small eucalyptus platform next to him was.

"It's just a little altar."

"The ancient Egyptians saw the dwelling as a temporary resting place, and the tomb as a permanent dwelling place."

"During the dynastic period, mastabas gradually increased, and small altars and wooden boats by the tombs to the north appeared."

"It is believed that the dead pharaoh would travel every day in this small wooden boat to accompany the sun god across the sky from east to west."

"This guy must be very rich."

"The complexity of the mastaba depends on the wealth and social status of the owner, and the small rooms in the ground floor represent the various rooms in the palace."

"There's no hallway in there."

After walking around the outside, Bi Fang entered the interior and found that the rooms here were next to each other, extremely small, and there were no doors.

This is not surprising to Bi Fang.

There are no corridors inside the mastaba, as it is believed that the soul can pass through the physical barrier without damage.

Bi Fang also discovered a mound above the central tomb, which is not difficult to imagine evolving from the sand pile on the predynastic tomb.

"In Upper Egypt, the corpses were simply wrapped in reed mats or goatskins, buried in the desert some distance from the inhabitants, covered with mounds, and burial objects were placed around the deceased, and later wood was used to cover the pits."

"Although the initial sand pile was purely functional, it developed a certain religious significance, which was preserved in the new form of the tomb, and perhaps the mound also symbolized the 'original' that gave birth to life."

[Don't say something we don't understand]

[Ben: The mound that rises from the primeval waters in the creation myth of Heliopolis, on which the creator god is located, creates humans, gods, and the world. 】

What about the treasure, where is my treasure? 】

"However, the mounds were used as the foundation of the superstructure, which made the structure unstable, and later after reinforcing a ring of walls around the mounds, a sloping outer embankment was added against the outside of the wall, and the outer layer was built into a stepped brick shell."

Bi Fang approached the torch near the dune, and sure enough, everyone saw a circle of mud brick shells.

But unfortunately, after a long walk, Bi Fang didn't see anything valuable.

Although he doesn't take it, it doesn't mean he doesn't want to see it.

Tutankhamun's golden mask is world-famous, and if you can find a similar one, it will be absolutely a supreme honor, and many people will be jealous.

Everyone who goes to the museum in the future will remember that this gold ornament was first found by an explorer named Bi Fang.

"But it's not entirely hopeless, the most valuable items are usually stored close to the owner of the tomb, and if you find the tomb, you may be able to find the treasure."

"In the case of the burial chamber, it should be further down."

In the darkness, Bi Fang held the torch and groped carefully.

Another advantage of having a memory palace is that as long as you walk through it, you can basically remember this labyrinthine tomb, and you won't go wrongfully at all.

After a brief exploration, the general route of the entire tomb was already clearly present in Bi Fang's mind.

Bi Fang held the torch, and after some searching, he finally found the entrance to the catacomb, threw a stone, estimated the height, and began to walk down.

[Anyway, why are there no traps here?] 】

[Yes, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like that, stepping on a stone slab, and then revealing a mechanism on the side, Kakaka shoots a row of arrows and misses? 】

[I've seen this, and a rolling boulder suddenly appeared behind it, and then pushed everyone to run away]

[What is this?] 】

[Well, all I can say is that you guys have watched too many movies]

[Normal archaeology, in general, except for toxic gases, usually does not consider the mechanism, it is all apocryphal]

[Ah, it's Professor Song!] 】

[What Professor Song, I don't remember anymore]

[It's the professor of the history department who appeared when Lao Fang discovered a new species in the past]

I don't know if history is always accidental.

The last time I discovered the unknown was also in the desert, and it was also Professor Song who gave the answer.

It's like some kind of reproduction.

In the face of the audience's questions, Professor Song once again answered on behalf of Bi Fang.

[To date, we have not found any examples of ancient tombs using crossbow arrows to prevent theft, nor have we used fire to prevent theft.] 】

[These mechanisms are basically imaginary.] There must be tension in the launch of crossbow arrows, under the conditions of ancient science and technology, this tension cannot last for a long time, and it is impossible to use a precise mechanism to touch it to aim and launch, even if there is, the iron-smelting conditions are not allowed, and now alloy steel cannot guarantee thousands of years of stainless steel, let alone ancient times. 】

[As for poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, it is even more unrealistic, in the enclosed space of the ancient tomb, how poisonous insects can survive without food is a problem. 】

[The only problem is probably the poison gas problem that Bi Fang said before he came in, but it is usually born naturally after being buried deep underground, not artificial.] 】

[Modern chemistry capable of synthesizing artificial poison gases came into being much later, chemical weapons were only used in World War I, and were soon banned from being used in warfare by all mankind.] In ancient times, there were no chemical weapons, and alchemists may be able to occasionally find some poisonous gases, but they cannot be continuously produced and used in a targeted manner. 】

[Ah, thank you, Professor Song]

[I always thought it was true]

Landing again, the surroundings seemed even darker.

As soon as Bi Fang put up the torch, a burly human male appeared in front of everyone.

The cold hair is fried!

All of them were creepy.

No one thought that there was a person hiding in the dark catacombs!

Even Bi Fang was so shocked that he took two steps back, but then he realized that something was wrong.

The man in front of him was motionless, not at all like a living person.

When the torch got closer, everyone realized that it was just a statue built in a pit in the wall, but the fire was too dim and the image was like a lake, which caused everyone to admit their mistake at first.

Bi Fang, who calmed down, thought for a while: "It should be the statue of the owner of the tomb, in order to protect it, it is usually hidden inside the masonry, but I don't know why, this one is exposed, and I was also shocked just now." ”

[Fortunately, it's fake, the soul is about to fly]

[Fuck, it really scared me to death just now]

[It's really tortured to have no flashlight, and this fire is too weak, and the heart can't stand it]

[Heart-saving pills are not enough]

Just when everyone thought it was just a false alarm and relaxed.

The sound of a heavy object falling suddenly came from above the tomb, spreading clearly as if it were close at hand.
