"Is there a bet?" Tony asked with interest.

"A wine glass." Char said, "That's a good thing. ”

"Sounds good." Tony said that Dionysus's glass was not ordinary when it sounded.

Char looked up at Gallant, "Are you doing tomb robbing now?" ”

"Exploration." Gallant emphasized.

Char nodded, and each of the European tomb robbers of this period said that they were explorers.

"I want to follow the footsteps of civilization, and that pyramid must have existed a long time ago." Gallant said.

Char smiled, silently picked up the roselle tea in front of him and took a sip.

"You're looking for the Pyramid of Khufu, aren't you?"

"Khufu?"

It was clear that the pyramids had not yet been studied in this era, and only tomb robbers entered, and those tomb robbers were apparently only interested in the treasures inside, and no one cared who the owner was.

Not to mention studying this civilization, it would be good not to destroy those precious murals.

"It's the biggest pyramid." Char said.

Gallant came back to his senses and nodded.

After a pause, he seemed to realize something, and asked, "Do you know the owner of that pyramid?" ”

"It depends on how you define understanding." Char said, "I haven't met him, but I know his name, his name is Hunihuf, the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, and the Greeks call him Chiapus." ”

Galant nodded, "The people here don't know the origin of these pyramids.

There are also very few records about this place in Europe. ”

The ancient Egyptians never thought of writing a chronicle of what happened in real detail. Although they had words a long time ago. Their histories are written on frescoes, in reliefs, or on the walls of tombs, scattered and scattered.

Therefore, the study of Egyptian civilization can only be found from these frescoes.

But in a sense, the ancient Egyptians were also the first people to write history.

The study of the history of ancient Egypt actually began as early as 300 BC.

At that time, Alexander the Great had just died, and during the reign of the first and second kings of the Ptolemaic dynasty, an Egyptian priest named Manezor wrote a 30-volume book of Egyptian history in Greek, which could be translated as "History of Egypt" or "History of Egypt".

With the help of papyrus documents and a few fragmentary records, he divided all the pharaohs he knew into 30 dynasties, a method that is still used today.

Sadly, the book was burned when Julius Caesar conquered Egypt, and only a few bits and pieces have survived.

For Europeans who believe in Christianity, those place names and personal names in ancient Egypt are not unfamiliar, after all, they appear in the Bible.

But that's about it.

At that time, Europeans' understanding of Egypt probably came from the records of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

For the more Arabs in Egypt, and the occasional European, the ruins in front of them mean nothing.

In another world, it was Napoleon who really began to study Egyptian civilization on a large scale.

When he went to Egypt at that time, he brought with him not only more than 300 warships and nearly 40,000 troops.

There are more than 200 astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, mineralogists, orientalists, technicians, painters, poets, and writers from the French Academy of Sciences.

Many of the astonishing discoveries in Egyptian archaeological history occurred after Napoleon's expedition to Egypt.

Among these was an aristocratic artist named Dominig Vivan Denon, who was recommended by Napoleon's beautiful wife, Josephine, to be the illustrator. From the moment he entered Egypt, he was fascinated by everything it had to offer.

Although he knew nothing about Egyptian culture, he was able to draw everything he saw with his keen observation and skillful brush. The numerous delicate drawings he brought back to France provided archaeologists with valuable materials for the study of Egypt.

The world's first famous book on Egyptian archaeology, The Narrative of Egypt, written by Joma, is a systematic scientific work based on these drawings.

In addition, the famous Rosetta tablet, inscribed in three different scripts, discovered and brought back to France by Napoleon's literati, became the key to solving many Egyptian mysteries.

This is another positive achievement after the Napoleonic Code.

However, this does not hide the fact that he looted many antiquities from Egyptian soil.

Obviously, there may not be Napoleon in this world......

"These buildings shouldn't have been built by these people." Gallant said.

"It was built by their ancestors." Char sighed, "It's a pity that this civilization has long forgotten its past as it has been conquered by outsiders again and again for more than a thousand years. ”

"More than a thousand years?" Gallant's eyes widened slightly, "Doesn't that mean that the cemetery must be more than a thousand years away from now?" ”

"If you're talking about the Pyramid of Khufu, it's now."

Char recalled slightly, "It should have been more than 4,300 years."

"How much more !?"

Gallant's face showed a slight shock, which was obviously an unattainable number for him who was only in his thirties.

His country, West France, is only more than a thousand years old, and I don't know how many dynasties have changed rulers during this period.

More than 4,000 years is a year long enough to turn the sea into mulberry fields and mountains into rivers.

The peers behind him who heard this also opened their eyes wide.

"It's been a long time, isn't it?"

Char smiled, continued to raise the tea in his hand and took a sip.

"It should be difficult for you people today to imagine how people more than 4,000 years ago built such a behemoth."

"It's hard to do even now." Tony commented, "To build such a pyramid, it would take enough manpower and material resources to bring down a small country." ”

"But there's more than one building like that on this land." Alicia said.

Gallant came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but imagine what a glorious scene that civilization had been more than 4,000 years ago.

There are very few records of the pyramids that he can find in Europe, and the only books that know the most about these places are the Bible, but the Bible tells mythological stories, and the time described in them is different from the current way of dating.

Of course, if you take the trouble to find the records left by ancient Greece and Rome, you should still be able to find some information.

At least not to be ignorant of the longevity of this ancient Egyptian civilization.

But Gallant is not here to explore civilization, but to explore mysteries, so naturally he will not waste time.

After a pause, Gallant came back to his senses and looked at Char.

The mysterious being's tone was firm......

Gallant apparently didn't know much of the high technology used to tell the vintage in the future.

For example, to measure carbon-14, theoretically, as long as it is a living organism and the history is less than 60,000 years, carbon-14 can be used to measure the approximate age.

Stones can't be dated with carbon-14, but wood can.

So after the discovery of Khufu's solar boat, the identification became very simple. In addition, in the pyramid labor tombs, there are also a large number of relics and mummies that can be dated, and there are even some written records.

But Gallant obviously didn't know this, and in his opinion, Char's determination was almost like seeing that era with his own eyes.

He swallowed softly.

I have seen that era more than 4,000 years ago
