Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2381 The Rabbit Who Predicts Death (Part 2)

  Jacques Champollion did not actually go to Egypt, but his son Jacques-Joseph Champollion, a young linguist under 30, applied. When the Rosetta Stone was discovered, although the hieroglyphs and cursive scripts named hieroglyphics were unrecognizable, the accompanying linguists recognized ancient Greek, and they soon discovered that it recorded a 13-year-old. Year-old Ptolemy V's one-year anniversary, including tax breaks, erecting sculptures in temples, and more.

After learning that the Rosetta Stone could not be moved back to France, people from the Egyptian Research Society printed many rubbings, including the mathematician Bollier. In a sense, this is "fashionable" in the academic world. Gift.

Joseph failed to apply because he was the eldest son. Jacques Champollion was in the business of selling books, almanacs and various religious relics. There was something wrong with the family during that time. His mother was sick, and Jacques Champollion was helpless. He even found a sorcerer to heal his wife.

  My father had to take care of my mother, so no one looked at the shop. Although it was his own shop, Joseph still needed to be an apprentice in a relative’s shop, so he missed his application to Egypt.

Later, the situation at home improved. The Education Bureau hoped that linguists who knew Latin, Greek and other languages ​​could come to Paris for research work. Georgiana had already asked Bruner to take the books Napoleon robbed from the church library and the Alexandria library. It was copied and returned, and it was in this situation that Joseph saw Prince Hamwath's name.

   For the ancient Egyptians, the purpose of writing was not just to record, the process of writing was short-lived, and the result had a display function, which had been separated from the writing itself and became a part of the monument.

  Every good thing is heard, not to mention that Georgiana is also a "prophet". Joseph is very humble, virtuous, and talented. He is a son who makes his father proud. The youngest son, Jean-François Champollion, who is only 14 years old this year, has already shown an amazing talent for language. However, his grades in school were not good, mainly because he couldn't stand the way of life in school. Fortunately, Kalemele, who taught him, had taught Joseph before and knew what kind of temper the little Champollion was, and he was unruly." Elementary school students” were especially sheltered and especially guided him to learn Latin while learning about botany and geology.

  Jacques Champollion, whoever his son might have in the future, is very happy. He is a used bookseller, and he is very good at dealing with old books in Latin. What gave Georgina a headache was another "real" Saint-Tierel who had been to Egypt. Like Cuvier, he was a paleontologist and a proponent of catastrophe theory. He was a professor of vertebrates at the Paris History Museum. He has dissected human and animal mummies, and is still studying animal mummies.

When Alexander of ancient Greece was fighting on the Danube, there was a rumor that he had already died in battle. Thebes was in chaos. Countless "flies" saw this rumor as a new opportunity. They first rose up and killed the Macedonian officials who were stationed there. Later, Athens and the Peloponnesian states participated in the anti-Macedonian movement, but they did not dare to do it thoroughly, because Alexander's death was just a rumor, and no one saw Alexander's body.

  After hearing the news, Alexander rushed back from Illyria and reached Thebes in only 14 days, and soon razed Thebes to the ground.

  The land of Thebes was divided, most of the people were sold as slaves, and the port was blocked. The Greek states were immediately overwhelmed and sent messengers to apologize to Alexander. Within two years, Alexander consolidated his position in Greece.

   It is precisely because of this that it is extremely important to master Alexander's body, but it was a hot summer when Alexander died in Babylon, and the body would easily decay if not embalmed.

  The ancient Greeks actually made mummies. They witnessed the process of making them and wrote books, but the problem is that the Greeks did not have the tradition of mummification. Most of them were buried or cremated.

  If Alexander the Great's body was highly decomposed or boned, how could the frightened birds in Egypt believe that Alexander was really dead, and that anti-Macedonia would not follow in the footsteps of Thebes at this time?

Ptolemy attacked Perdica in December. After capturing Alexander's body, the funeral caravan went from Babylon to Egypt and placed the coffin in Memphis. The Egyptian nobles could "look at" Alexander's remains and make sure he was indeed dead. Only then can Ptolemy, the governor of Egypt, be secure.

  It is impossible for a dead body to move, and if Georgiana told Saint Tyrrell that mummies would run in London's abandoned subway, Saint Tyrrell would surely scoff.

   Animals have no self-healing ability after death. Self-healing ability is a characteristic of living creatures. Forensic doctors can also judge whether the wounds of the deceased were caused before or after death based on the healing of the wounds.

   Infernal corpses are usually drowned so that no wounds are caused. Grindelwald killed the unicorn by slitting his throat, creating a wound on the corpse, and then he "resurrected" the unicorn in the water, and the wound was healed, and it looked like it was alive.

   There are many specimens that look like they are alive, but they are not.

Since Osiris is divided into 42 parts, and Upper and Lower Egypt is also divided into 42 provinces, or because there are 42 provinces Osiris is divided into 42 parts, so 42 is a sacred number in Egypt, not only representing the body of Osiris Regroup, also represents the unification of Egypt.

  Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty and the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt. After her death, Egypt became a province of Rome, but the Romans at that time were no longer interested in the collection of the library of Alexandria. They are keen to watch gladiatorial fights, racing cars, banquets, bathing and other entertainment in the Colosseum, and would not have the leisure to set up a "library of the world" like Ptolemy.

   Next to the Library of Alexandria is the Museum of Learning, which can be said to be the earliest museum. It was the center of science and art research at that time, and Aristotle was the earliest organizer.

  The ancient Egyptians called the library the "House of Life", which represented the order of the universe. The scribes who worked in the "House of Life" had a high status, and sometimes served as state administrators to assist the king to manage the country.

   Forget about the sturdy high priest Imorton, the real Immorton is the designer of the pyramid, he may have no abdominal muscles like other scribes, and he looks gentle and weak.

  The library in the Ptolemaic era had to be divided into two parts. One part was for scribes. They didn’t even need to know how to read, but they only needed to be able to draw. The other is the screening department. They not only have to distinguish whether the book is genuine or fake, but also identify the content of the book. This process inevitably involves "endless quarrels in the birdcage of the muses."

The museum has gardens for walking, colonnades, equipment rooms for studying scientific phenomena, and sculptures of various gods and people. In addition, there is a temple in the middle, where the statue of Aristotle is after his death. It is decorated with maps of countries they traveled to, and it also connects to the small galleries of the Museum of Muse.

   Actually those scholars lived in a palatial prison, because even when they walked out of the building, they still stayed in the courtyard of the palace. But until they realized it, they were free to speak eloquently, which was part of Athenian civilization, inherited by the Roman aristocracy. But this set was useless against ancient Roman soldiers. Caesar let the officers have seats, and they didn't need to think. Caesar said that they would agree to it, and they passed if the minority obeyed the majority.

   So the tribune became a dictator, and Caesar was stabbed to death in the Senate.

   Anthony, who succeeded him, was not without merit, Caesar did not set Alexandria on fire on purpose, and the collection of books from the Royal Library of Pergama more than made up for their loss.

   In addition to the library of Alexandria, there is also the library of the Temple of Serapis, which is equivalent to the royal library of Pergama, which was not lost in the fire. Although 700,000 volumes were burned in the Alexandria Library, there are still miscellaneous books in it, and the Pergama Library is full of fine works, and 200,000 volumes were also earned.

  Jacques Champollion came over with a book in his hand after throwing a Latin text on how to treat calluses into the "Medicine" category.

   "Look, ma'am." He handed the book to Georgiana.

   She took it, this book looks like a poetry collection at first glance...

   "You go back to work." Georgiana said casually.

  Jacques Champollion hesitated, and resumed sorting old books with the others.

  Georgiana deliberately waited for a while, and then left the conference room with the book after the sight of those who peeped at her was gone.

   When she got to a safe place, she opened the page again.

   "You're a real troublemaker, Sybil," she whispered, closing the book again.
