Chapter 204: Egypt

Ansu's barbecue skills are really much better than Char's.

The barbecue is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the oil is bubbling in one bite, fat but not greasy, and the meat is fragrant, especially after sprinkling crushed peanuts, it is a must.

Sitting by the lake with three or two friends fishing, drinking wine, eating barbecue and chatting, enjoying the quiet years, it is always pleasant.

The only fly in the ointment was that they didn't catch any big fish that night, except for Tony.

This made Tony a little nervous.

The next morning, Tony woke up from his dorm room as usual and walked to the auditorium for breakfast.

But unlike usual, he was carrying a cod in his hand, which he had caught yesterday.

Char and Sebas had some catches that night, but they weren't as big as his fish.

It seems that because he is in a good mood, he even has an indelible smile on his face.

Some of the students had also finished breakfast in the auditorium and were about to rush to their classes, when they met Tony on the way and greeted him.

"Professor Stark."

Stark nodded at them, and suddenly, as if he had heard something, he turned his head to look at the fish in his hand.

"Oh, you ask this.

This is the fifteen kilogram of cod I caught last night fishing with Merlin, which is the medium size of any fish I have ever caught. ”

The students nodded a little confusedly.

Tony smiled, then walked past them to the Great Hall.

The students looked at each other in confusion.

"Just now. Did anyone ask about the fish? ”

"I don't know, I didn't hear you."

As if they felt that this scene was a little too weird, they quickly turned away and walked briskly to the class.

"Professor!"

As soon as Tony entered the auditorium, Martin walked over from the side.

"I have some questions for you about equivalent exchange."

"What's the problem?" Tony replied.

This is also the reason why Char embodied Tony at this stage.

At the very least, he will have some patience to answer these children's questions.

If there was no transformed Tony, Martin would have left impatiently as soon as he came.

"A substance of the same mass and value, after alchemy, can only produce a substance of the same quality and value." Martin said, "That's the principle of alchemy, right? ”

Tony's jaw.

"But, in that case, why is alchemy called alchemy?" Martin was a little puzzled, "That's just called material transformation, isn't alchemy just magic that transforms cheap metal into precious metal?" ”

"This brings us to the ultimate mystery of alchemy." Tony said quietly, "This isn't what you're supposed to learn at this stage. ”

"Why can't I learn?" Martin continued.

Would I say I myself wouldn't? Tony complained in his heart.

"You'll find out later." Tony said.

"Okay."

After a pause, Martin continued.

"So can we use ...... of the same quality?"

"Quality?"

This sentence seemed to trigger a mechanism on Tony's body, and he raised the fish in his hand and smiled.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about.

It weighs 30 pounds, and because it is a sea fish, the flesh is very firm, and I caught it last night when I was fishing at night. ”

Martin: "."

Cassifer would be very fast at full speed, and it wouldn't take much time to fly from the North Pole to Africa.

Char never asked when Cassifer would arrive, only occasionally paying attention to the situation on the battlefield in Britannia.

Then there was the occasional fishing, watering the flowers in the yard during the day and Alicia at night.

Time is dull and quiet, just day by day.

Until one day he pushed open the backyard door, and a wave of heat hit his face.

As far as the eye can see, it is a vast desert, and the scorching sun makes the air seem to distort, and the breeze gently blows the sand and dust into the sky.

The sand here was fine and heavy, and the castle controlled by Cassifer would sink deep into it with every step of the foot, but fortunately, the castle had magic, and the walk was relatively smooth, and after walking this short distance, they quickly entered the slightly stable flat ground.

At the end of the desert, Char saw tall pyramids standing in this barren land.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Napoleon of France led an expedition to Turkey and defeated the Turkish vassal states of Egypt and Syria.

France at that time directly occupied the Suez Canal, hoping to cut off the nearest British route to India, and then turned Egypt into a French colony.

With the financial and tax support of the local people of Egypt, a number of local armies were supported to maintain the rule, and the pyramids at that time were also discovered by Napoleon and announced to the world.

At that time, it also attracted many Europeans to Egypt to rob tombs, and many obelisks and pyramid spires were taken away by them.

However, there are still some of the spires of the pyramids of this era.

It was heard that the spires of the pyramids were made of gold, but as Cassifer controlled the castle's approach, Char did not see gold on the spires.

It is estimated that in the past, the outer layer of the pyramid was plated with a layer of gold, but it gradually disappeared with the weathering of the years.

The material for the spire is supposed to be a special stone, the surface is smooth, but you can still see the traces of time, many places have been eroded by the wind and sand.

But as the sun shines on the spire, it can still shimmer, and under the sunlight, it really has a gold-like texture.

Many people actually have the misconception that the human race in ancient Egypt was actually extinct.

Char thought so at first, but it wasn't until he had a local friend in Egypt.

Anatomically, the ancient Egyptians, like today's Egyptians, as well as the people of North Africa and the Arab region, were a highly diverse group with "Caucasian characteristics" as the main and "Negro characteristics" as the secondary.

For example, if you go south from Lower Egypt to Upper Egypt to Nubia in northern Sudan, you will find that the "Caucasus characteristics" are getting weaker and weaker, and the "Negro characteristics" are becoming more and more obvious.

Through the comparative analysis of the whole genome data array and 90 mitochondrial genomes of 3 groups of individuals obtained from three mummies of different periods (2000~30 AD) samples obtained, the Y-chromosome haplogroups of these three people are J lineage common in the Middle East and E lineage common in North Africa.

The ancient Egyptian race and the modern Egyptian race are identical in terms of gene sequence alignment, both are E J, almost unchanged, and all three ancient Egyptian sample groups have ensured genetic continuity over a time span of more than 3,000 years.

The large numbers of ancient Egyptians versus Near Easterners, who received more sub-Saharan mixing over a period of time, provide a genetic source for the study of ancient Egyptian mummies.

With the number of Arabs at that time, it was impossible to exterminate the Egyptians at that time, and as long as a race was not exterminated, then it was certain that it would continue.

But there's no denying it.

From the 7th century to the end of the 18th century, Egypt experienced periods of Umayyad, Abbasid, Tulon, Ihmud, Fatimid, Alunbu, Mamluk, and Ottoman reigns after being Islamized.

In this 1,000 years of the Is* dynasty.

It is also more than 1,000 years when ancient Egyptian culture was gradually buried.

Although in modern times, many Egyptians have embarked on the path of civilization revival.

But during this period, the Egyptians did not really consider themselves Egyptians, but Arabs.

No one remembers it, and no one is interested in it.

It was like a treasure that had been sealed in the dust for a long time, until the arrival of Napoleon opened it
