Ten minutes later, Anne suddenly realized, looked at the embarrassed Yang Nianzhong weirdly and quipped. "Oh, mom is smart, David, you explained so much, and you didn't let me figure out what a scarab is, what is a shell? What's so special about this bug? ”

After seeing that Anne finally figured out what scarab beetles and shitshell lang were, Yang Nianzhong pushed as many as forty or fifty pieces of scarab statues on the coffee table, all kinds of gems, gold and silver carvings, and said triumphantly in front of his mother and Anne.

"Now you know what a scarab is, right? Two ladies, please see, this is the scarab beetle that I accidentally acquired at the archaeological site today. ”

Next, Yang Nianzhong explained to his mother and Anne the whole process of discovering the scarab beetle Shi Han, to be honest, the process of discovering these scarab beetles is a bit funny, because of a soak of urine.

And at this time, Anne understood why when she got on the bus, Yang Nianzhong always had a strange smell on her body, which turned out to be the smell of excrement, which made Anne laugh at Yang Nianzhong for several years when she took these scarab beetles to find out.

Although he always made fun of Yang Nianzhong about this, Anne had to admit that Yang Nianzhong's internal urgency this time actually made the Yang family get hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth.

After explaining these scarab beetles, after discovering the process, Yang Nianzhong looked at his mother with a frown and asked. "Mom, there's one thing I don't understand, are these scarabs amulets or burial objects? Why is it placed in a stone letter? ”

After hearing Yang Nianzhong's question, Mother Yang Lan nodded and got up from the sofa, and said as she walked in the direction of the door. "Son, let's divide up the two of us, I will go to my room and grab the tools I brought with me, and you will rinse these scarabs for me with clean water, turn on the lights for me, and I'll explain to you when I come back."

According to his mother's instructions, Yang Nianzhong took these scarabs to the sink, and carefully scrubbed them with water and a disposable small toothbrush. Yang Nianzhong had just wiped these scarab statues clean, and when he walked out of the bathroom, his mother was already sitting on the sofa with glasses and magnifying glasses and white gloves.

Yang Nianzhong hurriedly put the things in front of his mother, and his mother casually took out a scarab cast from sterling silver, and explained while using a magnifying glass to carefully observe the details of the casting of these scarabs.

"You stupid boy, don't you see this scarab beetle cast in sterling silver, with a small metal ring on its head? It is a talisman to wear around the neck, not a burial object. ”

"The ancient Egyptians did not lack gold, but this part of Egypt did not produce silver, so in ancient Egypt, silver was more precious than gold."

"And this scarab amulet is worn by a living person, and it is carved from sterling silver, and its value is higher than that of those precious gold scarab amulets."

"If I'm not mistaken, the time you found it may be something buried by the scarab amulet caster, this silver scarab beetle is also an ancient Egyptian dignitary at that time, like this amulet customized by the foundry."

Yang Nianzhong nodded with emotion at this time and said slowly. "That's right, there may be some accident, or it may be that the scarab maker was greedy, and took the nobles to spend a lot of money to order these scarab statues from Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt."

Mother looked at Yang Nianzhong's analysis, nodded with a smile and said. "It's possible, because these scarabs have a rope ring on their heads, which proves that this scarab beetle was worn as a talisman around the neck of a living person."

"There is another possibility, that is, the craftsman who made these scarab amulets was robbed by bandits at home, and these scarab amulets were the stolen goods of the bandits."

Yang Nianzhong nodded seriously, thinking that his mother's analysis was good, it was not that the amulet statue workshop was robbed, that is, the one who carved and cast these scarab beetles, made people greedy, and squinted these things.

Whatever the reason, there was an accident that caused these well-made and well-made scarabs to be left on the edge of the Pyramid of Khufu, because there was no way to tell what age the statues were made with these scarab beetles, which were not recorded in any written record.

But it is impossible to be late to the fall of the Ptolemaic dynasty in ancient Egypt, because although the Ptolemaic dynasty inherited the characteristics of the ancient Egyptian dynasty, its owners were not Egyptians, but Greeks.

It was the Greeks who occupied ancient Egypt and established the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which was not the same ethnic group as the rulers of the Egyptian kingdom in ancient times, let alone the same race, so these scarab statues were no later than the period when the Ptolemaic Dynasty fell.

And at this time, Yang Nianzhong took out the largest piece of these scarab beetles, which was actually a scarab carved from golden amber, and the most unexpected thing was that inside this piece of amber, there was actually a corpse of a scarab pushing a dung ball to perfectly wrap the inside of this piece of golden amber.

This piece of golden amber is extremely pure, there are no bubbles or debris in it, only a cute black shell Lang pushes a small dung ball, which looks so cute.

And this shell is actually male, because it has a head like a shovel, he has a front like a shovel, and his body is plump, and his diameter is only a little more than a centimeter, right in the center of this golden amber.

The most peculiar thing is this piece of golden amber, which was carved by a craftsman to the size of a one-year-old child's fist, the golden amber scarab amulet, so many coincidences come together, the price of this golden amber carved scarab beetle amulet is extremely perverted.

Amber is known to everyone, but it is actually the sap left by some pine and cypress trees, and when it drips, it accidentally gets on with plant fragments, seeds, and insects.

Because these pine sap is particularly viscous, the insects wrapped in it can't break free on their own, and slowly form one with these pine sap, and then they are buried in the ground, and after high temperature, high pressure and long-term conversion, they turn into solid amber.

Amber is abundant, and there are only a few regions on the whole earth, among which the Baltic Sea is the most abundant in amber, but the Baltic Sea is far away from this ancient Egyptian region, and in ancient times, it was too difficult to put this golden scarab beetle amber in the ancient Egyptian region.

Where did this piece of amber come from? The quality is so good, I heard that it doesn't need to be so high, and there is actually a scarab beetle pushing a dung ball inside, which is simply a superb talisman tailored for the rulers of ancient Egypt, why didn't he follow those ancient Egyptian rulers Pharaoh buried in the ground.

This question bothered Yang Nianzhong and his mother Yang Lan, and the mother and son couldn't figure out why those incarnations of gods ruled the most powerful pharaohs in ancient Egypt, why didn't they take this piece of scarab talisman carved by golden insects as their own.

And why such a precious scarab beetle amber carving was placed in a stone letter, why did it appear in the sand dunes next to the pyramid of Khufu, and what is the connection between this?
