Chapter 51: The Temple

Egypt, Temple of Ramses II.

As one of the four ancient civilizations of the Blue Star, Egypt is full of exotic cultural charm, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world.

Both the pyramids and the temples are must-see places for tourists visiting Egypt, and the Temple of Ramses II, the largest of Egypt's many temples, has always been a popular photo spot for tourists.

But today, the Temple of Ramses II was unusually closed during opening hours, and the guards on duty in black surrounded the entrance, and at the same time a cordon was raised, and signs were hung outside that tourists stopped.

"Huh, the temple is closed today?"

"No, the temple is still closed?"

"It seems to be said on the news that the Eye of Horus was found here, but isn't it a relocated place? Why didn't you find it when you migrated, could it be hidden in a crack in the stone? And the news doesn't say it's closed today. ”

Someone tried to go up and talk to the guards.

"Hello, big brother, do you know when this place will reopen to receive tourists? I am the tour guide of the tour group, and my tourists and I will only stay here for three days, if the Temple of Ramses II cannot open within three days, my tourists and I will have to leave early. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Okay. ”

While many tourists were stopped outside the temple of Ramses II, a group of folklore experts who had been invited to visit entered the temple accompanied by guards.

The temple, carved out of rock by the ancient Egyptians, faces the Nile River and features four 20-meter-high colossal seated statues of Ramses II, with a 60-meter-long rectangular hall and 16 statues arranged in two rows and frescoes and reliefs.

As soon as people walk in, they have a sense of shock.

Catherine was in the crowd, she wasn't invited, but her teacher was.

Originally, participating in such an archaeological operation would have added luster to her resume.

But she couldn't be happy at all at the moment.

"Professor. Catherine lowered her voice and said, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the mercenary who was following her and the professor, although you have changed your clothes, but you know me even if you wear makeup.

"Why are they still following us?"

They said that they were just borrowing the teacher's fame to enter the country, and they said that they would be separated after entering the country, why did they appear here?

"I don't know, but we can't help it, we can't refuse their request, so we just treat ourselves as presidents. Professor Felton also lowered his voice and said helplessly.

"Teacher, what I'm worried about is their ....... ”

"I know. ”

From the outset, Professor Felton suspected that they were trying to make trouble.

After all, as the cousin of the European-stirring stick Sun-stirring stick, Mi completely inherited the characteristics of the-stirring stick of the sun-stirring country and carried it forward, becoming the Blue Star-stirring stick.

It was precisely because of this deep understanding that Professor Felton got off the boat and quickly left with the students, not wanting to continue to be involved with them.

But unexpectedly, after arriving in Aswan, these people appeared with him again, and at the same time, Whitewater called and asked him to enter the Temple of Ramses II with them.

Now there is no need to doubt it, the other party is 100% here to make trouble.

But God, why me?

They take the blame for doing things themselves, no matter how big or small they do, they will definitely have to be blacklisted as a cover for the other party's entry, and if they are caught on the spot, then they can only cry behind bars.

At the same time, he was also a little curious about what the Whitewater Company had sent them here for.

But this temple has no special symbolic significance, and it is better to go to the pyramids for a big news than to come here.

Shouldn't you go to the Egyptian Museum for theft?

Is it for the Eye of Horus?

The thought that flashed through Professor Felton was extinguished by himself.

The Eye of Horus has a great symbolic meaning in Egyptian mythology, but this meaning is more academic and economic, and Egyptian artifacts have never been able to sell for much money, unless the Eye of Horus really has the mysterious power to sense good and evil and protect the soul, as the ancient Egyptians legend has said.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it for them to come over with the amphibious assault ship USS Central Park.

Glancing at the mercenaries, Professor Felton lowered his voice very low, "We will return home after visiting the Eye of Horus, and what they are going to do has nothing to do with us." ”

After the exchange, the two followed the crowd with the flow.

At the end of the hall is a stone chamber that serves as an altar and houses four idols, from left to right, the god Ptah, the god Amun, Ramses II himself, and the god Ra.

The dozens of people stopped after entering the stone chamber, and the Egyptian Minister of the Interior, Shreif, who was leading the way, motioned for someone to open the sealed Eye of Horus.

It was an eye-sized stone, with a single eye full of characters painted with simple gray lines.

"This is the Eye of Horus?"

"It looks like a fresco painted directly on the stone, not unlike the patterns depicted on the amulets by the ancient Egyptians. ”

"Legend has it that Horus was robbed of his left eye by the god Sett when he was fighting the god Seth, and then defeated the god Seth with the help of the moon god Kons and regained his left eye, and later he turned this eye into an amulet with extraordinary magic power to the god of the underworld Osiris, but if this is the case, the eye of Horus should not exist in the form of a stone. ”

"In the form of an eye, it seems to be the eye of the god La, could it be that the eye of Horus is actually the eye of the god La? There is such a possibility, after all, the ancient Egyptians mixed the god Ra with other gods to describe the relationship of confusion, and La Harahuti is the god produced after the god Ra and Horus are confused, so the eye of Horus is sometimes regarded as the eye of the god La. ”

"Let's do an appraisal first, identify the age, and then look at it in combination with the myths and legends of the time. ”

Almost as soon as the Eye of Horus was seen, the invited experts began to discuss.

After the invited experts had almost discussed, Egyptian Interior Minister Shreif organized the language and said: "The Eye of Horus was found in the statue of Ramses II himself, and we in Egypt have done relevant inspections before, and the information will be sent to you later, and all the results of research from the Eye of Horus belong to you, and we in Egypt do not make any requirements." ”

"We have only one request, and that is that we in Egypt want you to help us find a way to activate and use it. ”
