Chapter 104: Museum of Antiquities

Museum of Ancient Antiquities, Cairo, Egypt

Since Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in the late eighteenth century, a large number of Egyptian antiquities have been brought to Europe, and at the same time, scholars who followed Napoleon to Egypt have published a large number of illustrated books with Egyptian temples and mausoleums, making Egyptian culture known to Europeans, and at the same time, the news of Egypt's hidden treasures has also made countless Europeans come to Egypt with gold rush dreams.

The Kingdom of Egypt, as recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible, was a place of mystery and wealth in the minds of countless Europeans, and even Christians did not reject the study of Egyptian culture, because they hoped to provide independent proof of the events recorded in the Bible by studying the inscriptions of ancient Egyptian artifacts.

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquity is a by-product of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in the late 18th century. Napoleon, who was the commander of the expeditionary force at that time, led a large number of scholars around him, and made a very important contribution to the study of Egyptian culture, Napoleon seemed to try to emulate Alexander the Great and Caesar to conquer the East, but the by-product was to bring back ancient antiquities and monuments that had been sleeping in the desert for thousands of years.

The Egyptian Museum, famous in Cairo, was founded after Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, and for Europeans, it is the first place for foreign visitors to learn about Egyptian culture.

"O'Connor, does the city of the dead, Hamnata, really exist?" Varon stood in front of the door of the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and asked the man beside him.

"Of course it's true, what I said is absolutely true, and I swear in the name of God that it is by believing in the existence of Hamnata that I and my troops will disobey the order and cross half of Libya to Egypt in search of this legendary city, but unfortunately all we find is yellow sand and blood, and there is not even a shadow of the treasure."

O'Connor, a young man, said with regret on his face, and then looked at the investor next to him, who was said to be the leader of the British underworld.

"Boss, isn't our goal to find the magical spell for the talking statue?" Warong's subordinate asked puzzled.

"Ah Fen, this question is a good question, and it is very level!" When Wa Long heard the legend of the treasure, he was in a good mood and took the initiative to explain, "Our purpose is not to take away the charm from Jackie Chan, but what is the purpose of our search for the charm?" Isn't it just to exchange the whereabouts of the Golden Rooster King's lost treasure from the Holy Lord, since the treasure of Hamna Tower is here, then why should we go far? ”

"Yes, the boss is so right, we can't beat Jackie Chan, it's easier to find the treasure of Hamnata." Rasu's honest voice sounded, making Wa Long Zhi frown, how could he have such a bunch of fools, and he couldn't even clean up an archaeologist.

"That, may I ask the Jackie Chan you are talking about, is he very powerful?" O'Connor couldn't help but ask, "I remember when you discussed him, didn't you tell me he was just an archaeologist?" ”

"He's not the kind that is not powerful, he is really the kind that is rare, and he can especially cause problems for our actions." Rasu explained to O'Connor, trying to get the new partner not to be a little hostile to Jackie Chan.

How much trouble a mere archaeologist could cause a man, O'Connor thought disapprovingly, putting a big question mark in his heart about the abilities of this group of patrons from England.

The ancient Egyptians believed that death was not the end, and that the world after death was equally important, as long as the direct corpse was kept intact (mummified) and went through various elaborate rituals, they could be resurrected like the god of the underworld, Osiris.

Since they will be resurrected in the world of the dead, they will maintain the standard of living before their death, and they will bring a large amount of gold and daily necessities to the cemetery as burial goods, and the richest person in ancient Egypt is the ruler of the country, the Pharaoh, so the funerary goods accumulated by the Pharaoh and the sons of the Pharaoh over the years will be quite a large treasure.

Finding the treasure of the Hamna Tower in Egypt and digging for gold from the Hamna Tower is actually just a nice word, but in fact such an act is just tomb robbery. People from all over the world come to Hamna Tower to dig for gold, in fact, there are very few survivors who come back, some people think that Hamna Tower does not exist, it is just a rumor specially made up by the ancient Egyptians in order to deceive the ancient Greeks and ancient Romans, and some people think that Hamna Tower does not not exist, but it is cursed, and it is impossible for any survivor to enter Hamna Tower, so Hamna Tower is also known as the "City of the Dead".

O'Connor is one of the very few survivors who make it to the Tower of Hamna and then succeed in returning, so O'Connor is indispensable for Wallon to reach the Tower of the Dead.

Of course, in Valon's mind, in fact, O'Connor is not not the best candidate for treasure hunting, the real treasure hunting expert is still his sworn enemy Jackie Chan, although he always claims to be an archaeologist, but when he is a "raider of the lost ark", even if he adds his own men, he is not Jackie Chan's opponent.

O'Connor looked down on this group of patrons who provided him with expedition sponsorship, and Wallon, as a patron, actually didn't trust O'Connor too much, so it was necessary to find someone who knew ancient Egyptian, hieroglyphic, and clerical scripts.

Others don't believe in the existence of any curses and magic in this world, but they can't tolerate Varon He doesn't believe that the ancestral statue of the Holy Lord who can speak, such an unscientific existence is huge magic.

In order to avoid having a life to take money and not to spend it, it is necessary to have the assistance of a professional to avoid these curses.

Of course, the best way to deal with magic is to use magic to deal with magic, it is said that the "old man" next to Jackie Chan will do magic, Wa Long thought here, and couldn't help but miss his opponent Jackie Chan, I don't know where he is now in this world, otherwise just like before, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, Jackie Chan excavates treasures, and they come to enjoy it.

"Let's go in, we want to invite more professionals." Varon waved his hand, and his men followed him towards the Museum of Antiquities.

"It's the bad guys of the Black Hand Organization, Wa Long is also there, they actually appeared near the museum, I want to follow them, where they are, Uncle Long must also be there, where there is Uncle Long, they will also run over to make trouble, so follow them Wa Long, Uncle Long will also appear."

A little Chinese girl dressed in red opened her mouth wide and looked at the Warong group who walked into the museum, and said in surprise, and soon had an idea in her head.

Evelyn was holding a book and was about to code it when she suddenly sneezed, not understanding what was going on.

In such a dry weather, how could I catch a cold for no reason.

It's weird.
