HP Approaches the Magic World

Among later researchers, the most famous researcher on ancient Egyptian mythology is the Greek historian named Plutarch.

This historian lived in the early days when the ancient Egyptian civilization was completely broken. He was in the Muggle society's records of the ancient Egyptian civilization. This civilization was not completely annihilated by the Arab Empire until the sixth century AD, but before that, in the Dark Ages

At the end of the period, the ancient Egyptian civilization was close to complete extinction. The reason why it could last for so long after the end of the Dark Age was because the environment had improved. The decline in the environment in the Age of Mythology and the Dark Age had turned around, ushering in a wave of recovery.

The small peak provided them with a certain degree of protection. Secondly, because the ancient Egyptian civilization was also very large, the centipede insects would die without becoming stiff, not to mention that the civilization was not dead at that time.

"The current theory in the magical world generally believes that the complete decline of ancient Egyptian civilization began in the New Kingdom period, and that period was also near the end of the Dark Ages. According to Manedo's "General History of Egypt", from the 18th

Dynasty to the 20th Dynasty was the New Kingdom period of Egypt. During the New Kingdom period, Egypt continued to use foreign troops, doubling the territory of Egypt. Therefore, this period is also called the Egyptian Empire period, but the expansion of the territory does not mean the expansion of civilization.

Strengthening, and constantly using troops externally, was precisely because it was to divert some internal contradictions. The prosperity of that stage was the last return to glory of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Later, due to the huge power of the priestly nobles, the decline of royal power, and the invasion of other ethnic groups, the New Kingdom was destroyed in the slave uprising at the end of the 19th Dynasty. Until the priest Helihor usurped the throne, the New Kingdom period ended and ancient Egypt entered the

In the third intermediate period, according to the research of magic historians, the Dark Ages also ended not long after. In fact, many civilizations were completely lost, such as the ancient Indian civilization and the ancient Babylonian civilization. These two civilizations were completely lost in the Dark Ages.

Or it may be the end of the mythical age, but the Chinese and Greek civilizations that still exist today are all in a relatively mysterious state."

Professor Sprout's speech ends here, because saying so much is almost enough for Jon to have a general understanding of the history of this civilization in the magical world.

"So, according to this statement, it means that this pantheon of gods has completely died out or is in a state of dying out, right?"

Jon fiddled with the mechanism simulated by the water balloon in front of him, trying to unlock the box.

At the same time, he was also listening to Professor Sprout's knowledge popularization to him, which was more helpful for him to understand the story behind the box and the contents in the box.

"The gods may not die out. The ancient Babylonian gods and the ancient Egyptian gods are like all the established gods in this world. Their existence is basically no longer controlled by the real world. An artifact without faith will only

Gradually, the gods that appear in this world are themselves a kind of living beings, and apart from their power, they are no different from other living beings."

Since they are living things, they must have a lifespan limit, and the lives of gods are obviously very long. At this time, they are no longer restricted by the death of myths.

"Of course, the demise of mythology will also have a certain impact on the life of this artifact, because many times gods want to extend their lifespan through the faith of believers, but faith itself is very precious. In the new religion,

After the emergence of gods and gods, existing gods will inevitably lose these beliefs."

To understand these, you must first understand the Egyptian gods, and Jon happens to have some books about Egyptian gods, and there happens to be a bookstore nearby, so you can buy them at any time.

But these are not the point.

Jon pressed lightly on the water balloon, and the water balloon immediately shattered in the next second, and the thirty-second analysis failed.

This mechanism is indeed very complicated. He has tried it many times and can successfully unlock the lock inside. But even if he copies it, there is no way to directly see what the unlocking sequence of the mechanism is.

.

So he was analyzing this machine lock while listening to Professor Sprout's guidance.

And as the water ball shattered for the thirty-second time, Jon raised his hand again and condensed a new mechanism.

There are many totems on this organ, but based on ancient Egyptian mythology, the external representations of gods are combined by many different animals, so it is difficult to find a very suitable feature among them. When he is not

Knowing which god was behind this box, it was difficult for Jon to accurately capture the information he needed.

Even if we look at the mythological civilization of the entire world, the gods of ancient Egypt are also a very peculiar group. They are full of vitality and in various states. They often fight and murder each other, but they can also maintain communication at the same time, and may even die at any time and then be reborn again.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they have very diverse images, but they are not omniscient and omnipresent gods. In a multi-god pantheon, the gods are often given their own exclusive sacred abilities and responsibilities.

.

But the authority of these gods is limited, and they have no way to achieve things beyond their capabilities, so they occasionally merge into one to share each other's power. This means that Jon has no way to do it based on the characteristics of a certain god.

Presumably, who is this god?

Who knows if this is the result of two gods combined together, or three gods combined together?

Professor Sprout, who was sitting opposite him, didn't have much idea about this. It was obvious that the professor was a little tired after a day of academic meetings.

"If you are tired, Professor, you can go and rest first."

Jon looked at Professor Sprout, who was a little depressed, and reached out to press the button in front of him that was engraved with a kite.

"Oh, is it already so late?"

Professor Sprout looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost midnight.

They spent too much time on this box, and just as she was looking at the time, Jon's water balloon collapsed again.

"Oh, I'm really tired today. Jon, can I stay at your place?"

Professor Sprout pondered for a while and made a small request.

"Of course." Jon nodded immediately and agreed: "In that case, Professor, you might as well stay here these days. Anyway, I have a lot of guest rooms here, so we can solve this box together."
