Travelogue of Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt is one of the four famous ancient civilizations in the world. If Xiaoyan shouts at everyone: "Every body, I'm going to take a trip to ancient Egypt." "Then there will definitely be people who think that Xiaoyan is crazy, not only dreaming at night, but also dreaming during the day, haha. However, Xiaoyan, although I may not be able to chase a gentleman with a horse, but it is still possible to chase after three horses, so let's start a trip right away!~

Xiao Yan traveled through time and space and soon came to ancient Egypt, this is the first stop to ancient Egypt: a very lively free trade market, in fact, it is strange, Xiao Yan I am not usually a person who likes to go shopping, this time to Egypt The first stop is a lively trade market. Haha, well, if you come here, then I'll take you to visit this lively and bustling market first. This free-trade market is very large, of course, which is completely different from our modern ones, and it is in the open air. In the middle is the pedestrian road, on both sides of the road are the vendors who set up their stalls, the facilities here are relatively simple, the vendors only spread some clean cloth on the ground and put some kinds of goods that people need to be a stall. The only passage in the middle of the market is crowded with people, the locals are of the dark-skinned race, some of them are wearing white robes, which should belong to the relatively wealthy people, and they buy in front of the stalls. There are also some people who do not wear robes, like people who do manual labor, and carry all kinds of goods on their heads to shuttle through the flow of people. Of course, there is no shortage of women in these crowds, dressed in bright gauze skirts and wearing various ornaments on their heads, and they are walking in groups of people and in front of the stalls. Seeing that everyone was buying, I was itching, I really wanted to see what these vendors were selling, so I turned into a local, came to the crowd, joined in the crowd, and walked by the hawkers' shouts have not stopped, "My scarf is the best and best in Nubia, girls, come and choose." "Clay pots, clay pots, sell clay pots" "Girl, you see how suitable these jewelry are for you, choose some to go back".

Hearing the shouts of the vendors, I realized that the place I had come from was in the south of ancient Egypt, and the most prosperous place for trade --- the country of Nubia, an ancient people. Because Nubia was the most prosperous trading area in ancient Egypt, the cities here appear to be wealthy, but the strange thing is that many Nubian locals here are working as domestic servants and slaves, which is somewhat incompatible with the prosperous trade. In order to see the life of the locals, I became a black servant and secretly mixed into a luxurious big house, when I walked into this big house, I couldn't help but sigh that "the ancient civilization of the country, really worthy of its name" The interior and exterior walls of the building and even the pillars have very exquisite carvings and paintings, at this time, it is the time for the domestic slaves and maids to prepare the master's meal, the domestic slaves and maids Under the leadership of the manager, they lined up, and each maid dragged a tray in her hand, which was filled with all kinds of food, which was really a very luxurious lineup.

At this time, while the house slaves were busy, I secretly came to a boy, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, and was working as a gardener, and I took every opportunity to interview the ancient: "Hello, are you the gardener here? Why do you look sad, is someone bullying you?" ”

Boy: "Alas, you can't talk about bullying or not bullying, and those who are slaves are qualified to talk about bullying." I miss my mother, my family is very poor, and there are many brothers and sisters, but my younger brothers and sisters have starved to death and died of disease, and my mother is also very sick, we have no money for treatment, in order to treat my mother, I voluntarily sold here as a slave, I have not seen my mother for a long time, I don't know if she is still alive. With that, the boy bowed his head and sobbed.

Black reporter: "Alas, people's lives are destined to be good, and now poverty must be that there was no good fortune in the past." Actually, I said these things to the boy at a great risk of being seen as a monster, and before the boy could react, I asked, "By the way, I saw that you have a bustling trade market here, why are you still so poor?"

The boy said sadly: "This prosperity has nothing to do with us poor people, we are born to be slaves." ”

Looking at the sad boy, I didn't know what to say, so I silently flashed and left this noble family.

After leaving the homes of the rich and noble, I came to the second stop of my tour of Ancient Egypt, the construction site of a pyramid under construction. This is a super large construction site, there are a lot of slaves working here, they are wearing their upper bodies, their skin is dark, the black can still shine, there are many army soldiers on the side to supervise the work, these slaves may be because of the army overseer, no one dares to resist, I became a slave and came to this unfinished place Next to the pyramid, I saw a huge machine for transporting large stones, in fact, to be precise, this machine should belong to the machine of all manual operation, the principle of this machine seems to use the principle of levers in physics, There is a long, wide and strong conveying arm, there are several huge large gears below, hundreds of slaves need to be pushed at the same time, when the slaves turn these gears, this conveying arm will rise, and the big stones will be It was sent to the top of the pyramid under construction, where there were also many slaves piling stones to the designated position, from this point of view, the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians was indeed very smart, and many technologies were already very advanced at that time, and it was not as modern people thought that the number of slaves could complete such a great project, it was completely applied to physics, wow, what a great ancient Egyptian.

After visiting the pyramids under construction, I came to a royal palace in ancient Egypt, which was also my third stop, well, this is really the rhythm of continuous transformation, this time I did not hesitate to become a palace guard. Needless to say, the palace is certainly much more luxurious than the previous rich and noble families, and in their buildings, statues of gods and reliefs are a very important part, and these works are exquisite and make people marvel at a glance in addition to admiration or admiration.

At this time, a meeting of ministers was being held in the palace, and on the throne in the center, there was a king (pharaoh) and a queen, this king was not very old, but he looked very weak and sick all the year round, and the queen on the side looked very good and slightly ambitious, and the ministers were discussing the conquest of other countries, alas, it was another war, which Xiaoyan did not like to see the most, because there would be countless innocents if there was war people die, but if there is death, there will be hatred, and if there is hatred, there will be killing, alas, it is a vicious circle that keeps going, what a tragedy.

At this moment, one of the guards standing beside me frowned, and I dared to ask him, "Are you unwell here?"

Guard: "No, I'm fine, it's just that one of the things I heard the ministers discussed just now is my wife's hometown, where there are our relatives and friends, and I really don't want any more wars." Over the years, how many people have lost their homes and relatives because of the war. ”

Yeon: "So how can we stop the war?"

The guard officer looked at me and said sadly: "We can't do it with our ability, we can only accept the fact that in fact, I am a victim of the war, my sister and sister died in the war, and my parents are still missing. ”

Yan reporter: "I can understand your feelings, but due to human greed, the infinite expansion of the desire for territory and power, war cannot disappear, if everyone can have compassion, practice bodhisattva behavior, and keep the Buddha's precepts, then the world will be very different, there will be no war, no killing, no one will fall." ”

When I had said this, the guard officer did not understand what I was talking about, and looked at me with wide eyes and amazement, because what I said was something he had never heard before, and he probably only realized at this time, when did I appear in front of him, and who was it? In order not to cause trouble, and to leave suspense, I immediately returned to reality, leaving the guard officer still messy in the wind, haha, I seem to be too unkind.

During this trip to ancient Egypt, although there were no earth-shattering miraculous events, there were no in-depth interviews. But it gave me a glimpse of the prosperity of ancient Egypt's trade, and at the same time saw its other side, poverty. I also felt the slaves' desire for family affection. I also saw the great wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. At the same time, I also felt the good wish of everyone, whether ancient or modern, who does not love war and longs for peace. In fact, for Yan reporters, whether it is interviewing animals or interviewing ancient people, it is not only passionate that the interview is successful, but sometimes it is also true that few words are plain.
