Of course, some of the customs of ancient Egypt are still alive and well, and Egypt is not actually speaking pure Arabic, but a combination of some ancient Egyptian words and Arabic.

It may be possible to say that there is a fault line in civilization, but it cannot be said that ancient Egypt has nothing to do with modern Egypt.

How the pyramids were built has been a mystery to mankind, even though there are different opinions now, but in fact there is no conclusive conclusion.

Because of this, many pseudo-historical remarks are rampant on the Internet, and Char really didn't think anyone would believe these things before he learned about them on the Internet.

But I didn't expect that not only did some people believe it, but there were also many of them.

One of the most popular and outrageous is that the pyramids were actually built when Napoleon first came to Egypt.

These pseudo-historians may not know that the famous banker lord of the Medici family went bankrupt after only building a few "small fields" in Italy and inviting a few "art celebrities" to paint pictures of himself and make soft decorations.

At that time, to forge the pyramids, Napoleon might have had to form an ECB and win the Opium War to gain tariff sovereignty over the Qing Dynasty.

In this way, Napoleon was able to hire more people and pay more for the expedited fee. In this way, it was possible for him to complete his glorious mission of building pyramids in Egypt before he was swept out of France.

After all, pseudo-historians may not know that Napoleon was not emperor for several years. The first time he was called emperor was less than 10 years, and the second restoration was a month.

And in order to build a bunch of useless pyramids and build momentum for this little-known Egyptian civilization at that time, the Egyptians estimated that they had to kowtow to Napoleon.

The reason why he carried this black cauldron is probably because Rosetta was dug up by Napoleon's subordinates, and this goods was also moved home with many obelisks and pyramid "small pointed hats", which belonged to the figure master.

And this era has not yet appeared Napoleon, and Egypt is still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Char had already learned about the Ottoman Empire before he came here, and all in all, the specific historical process was similar to that of another world.

The influence of the Ottomans on Egypt was very subtle, and their numbers were never large, with only about 10,000 Ottomans in Egypt, a very small percentage of the total population of Egypt.

However, the Ottomans had a profound influence on Egypt in terms of habits, clothing, and lifestyle.

A lot of Turkish vocabulary found its way into the Egyptian colloquial system. Despite their arrogance and high status, the Ottoman Turks were not seen as an alien occupying power, but as a fundamental part of Egyptian society.

The Ottomans created a deep-rooted hierarchy in Egypt, with the vast Egyptians known as Fellah (peasants) and the rulers known as Pasha and Bey.

The wars in Europe apparently affected the region as well, at a time when the Ottoman Empire was drawn to the North Star.

The Mamluks, who ruled Egypt from the previous dynasty, attempted to make a comeback, ousting the Ottoman Turkish governors and restoring the Mamluk dynasty, once again on the stage of Egyptian history.

This group of people used a metaphor to say that it was the Heaven and Earth Society that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but the difference is that this "Qing" is much weaker.

Therefore, Egypt at this moment can be said to be in chaos, and the people are not happy.

These armed conflicts have severely damaged Egypt's economy, with political unrest accompanied by excessive flooding of the Nile and plagues having a devastating impact on the Egyptian population.

Natural and man-made disasters have caused the situation in Egypt to deteriorate dramatically over the years.

Char didn't rush to find anything, but asked Cassifer to stop under a pyramid, and then asked him to open a magical barrier to block out the hot temperature outside.

Of course, for Char, the temperature is nothing, but this is a desert, and if you don't open the magic barrier, the grass can be covered with yellow sand overnight.

Char sat silently on the chair, quietly looking at the desert in the distance, but his eyes flashed with a faint shimmer, as if containing a cosmic galaxy.

The whole world was revealed in his clairvoyance, he was like a god who dwelt above the nine heavens, and the whole world was placed in front of him like a globe.

His gaze was fixed on Egypt, through the rocks outside the pyramids, to see the scene inside, and searched one after another.

There are quite a few funerary goods in the pyramids, but there are still many pyramids and small cemeteries that have been stolen.

Although modern research on pyramids began with a survey of sources conducted after Napoleon's invasion of Egypt.

But before that, the Europeans had already begun to carry out large-scale tomb robbing in Egypt.

At that time, their main purpose was to dig mummies as a tonic.

Yes, it's a tonic, the kind that is ground into powder and eaten, and it's even sold out of stock.

Egypt has been making mummies for more than 2,000 years, and there are at least millions of mummies buried in the ground, so it is really unexpectedly that they will be sold out by Europeans.

In the Middle Ages, a Persian physician Ibn Sina. He said that Mumia could cure all kinds of diseases, including abscesses, rashes, fractures, concussions, paralysis, and detoxification.

And mumia means asphalt.

However, the production of natural bitumen is very low, and it is difficult to supply it in the market.

In the seventh century B.C., the Arabs came to Egypt and became interested in this incorruptible mummy.

They carefully untied the bandages that were tightly wrapped around the corpse, and found a black paste-like substance inside, believing that the mummy was made of asphalt, so they also called the mummy "asphalt".

"Mumia" is the etymology of the modern English word "mummy" (mummy).

When European merchants heard that mummies were asphalt, they felt that they had found a business opportunity, so they hurriedly bought large quantities from Arabs at low prices, and then returned to Europe to hype up the miraculous effects of mummies through various channels.

Under the effect of a large number of advertisements, Europeans began to flock to this miracle medicine that can cure all diseases.

Jerome, a 15th-century German physician, wrote in his book that mummies could cure hemorrhage, dislocations, and broken bones.

It is also recorded in Italian medical books that after the mummy is ground into powder, it can be boiled with pomegranate flowers, beeswax, etc. to make a paste, which can treat ulcers, abscesses and various tumors.

If this paste is applied to the surface of the skin, it can also treat poisonous insect bites, relieve joint pain and bone growth.

Even the famous physicist Boyle and the British philosopher Bacon who said that "knowledge is power" were convinced of this and strongly admired it.

For a time, the mummy became a miracle medicine sold at a high price in major pharmacies in Europe, and the princes and nobles rushed to buy it, proud of the number of mummies they owned.

In addition to calling their relatives and friends to admire them, they also grind them into powder, mix them into coffee and tea, and take them to achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

King Francis of France even carried powdered mummies in his purse in case of emergency.

The mummies, which the Egyptians originally wanted to keep their flesh forever indestructible, were eaten by the Europeans one by one.

Over time, mummies, which were not mass-produced in the first place, began to be in short supply.

Merchants who wanted to continue to make a fortune from it began to dig up cemeteries in the Middle East, digging out all the mummies buried in them and selling them at high prices.

Later, the merchants, who could not find the source of the goods, set their sights on an unclaimed corpse on the side of the road, asked someone to imitate them into mummies, and then sold them at a high price to the princes and nobles who were rich and in need.

This craze for eating corpses even spawned outward, and those at the bottom who could not afford to consume mummies shifted their targets to the rest of the dead.

They would gather around the gallows, crowd the prisoners after they were executed, try to get a cup of fresh human blood, and even study the medicinal value of people with different ways of dying.

Many people think that the practice of using form to complement form in Chinese medicine is outrageous, but in fact, Europeans are more superstitious about it.

Even at the beginning of the 20th century, mummies were in the German medical catalog.

So, if we count from the 12th century to the 20th century, this carcass-eating frenzy in Europe has lasted for 800 years.

Europeans boast of the roots of civilization, mocking others for eating everything, barbaric and bloody.

But if you want to talk about classics, you have to talk about the traditional cuisine of old Europe.

But then again, the Egyptians are also aware of the preservation of cultural relics.

During the first industrial revolution, the Egyptians used the mummies found in the construction of railways to burn boilers, which was really filial piety.

Char's gaze continued to search for these purposes.

As an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, there are countless large and small cemeteries in this land.

If it weren't for clairvoyance, it would have to be the Great British and the French.

But even so, Char spent a lot of energy.

Eventually, he fixed his eyes on a very large pyramid, through which he could see the inside.

In fact, in addition to the neatly arranged large stones on the outside, there are actually some irregular stones and some sand stones inside the pyramid, and I don't know if it is because of the weathering of the years or the laziness of some employees who built it at that time.

The king's burial chamber is the final resting place of the pharaoh's mummies, wrapped in heavy and hard granite.

Granite is much harder than limestone, which means it is more difficult to work and harder to break. Most of the stone blocks of the pyramid are limestone, and granite is used only in key areas.

However, the tomb of the pyramid was empty, and both the corpse and the treasure were gone, and they should have been stolen.

This pyramid is supposed to be the largest in the land around here, and there is reason to suspect that it is the legendary pyramid of Khufu......
