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

This historian lived in the early period when the ancient Egyptian civilization was completely broken. He recorded the ancient Egyptian civilization in the Muggle society. This civilization was not completely wiped out 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 was able to last for so long after the end of the dark age was that the environment had improved. The small peak provided them with a certain degree of protection. The second reason was that the ancient Egyptian civilization was also very large, and the centipedes were dead but not stiff. What's more, the civilization was not dead at that time.

"Now the theory of the magic world generally believes that the complete decline of ancient Egyptian civilization began in the period of the New Kingdom, and that period was also near the end of the end of the Dark Ages. According to Manedo's "General History of Egypt", from the eighteenth The period from the dynasty to the twentieth dynasty is the period of the New Kingdom of Egypt. During the period of the New Kingdom, Egypt continued to use troops abroad, which doubled the territory of Egypt. Therefore, this period is also called the period of the Egyptian Empire. However, the expansion of the territory does not mean the expansion of civilization. Strengthening, and constantly using troops externally, is precisely because of diverting some internal contradictions. The prosperity at that stage was the last reflection of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Later, due to the great power of priests and nobles, the decline of royal power, and the invasion of other nations, 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 ended, and ancient Egypt entered 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 at the end of the Age of Mythology, the Chinese and Greek civilizations that still exist today are all in a relatively mysterious state. "

Professor Sprout's speech ends here, because it 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 god system has completely died out or is in a state of dying out, right?"

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

At the same time, he is also listening to Professor Sprout's popularization of knowledge to him, which is more helpful for him to understand the story behind the box and the things inside the box.

"The gods may not die out. The Babylonian gods and the ancient Egyptian gods are like all the gods that have been formed in this world. Their existence is basically no longer controlled by the real world. An artifact without faith will only It is gradually declining, and the gods that appear in this world are themselves a kind of creature, and there is no difference from other creatures except for power."

Since it is a creature, it must have a lifespan limit, and the lifespan of a god is obviously very long, and at this time it is no longer restricted by the extinction of myths.

"Of course, the demise of the myth has a certain impact on the life of this artifact, because many times the gods want to prolong their life, they need to pass the believers' belief, but the belief itself is very precious, in the new religion After the gods and gods appear, some gods will inevitably lose these beliefs."

To understand this, you must first understand the gods of Egypt, and Jon happens to have some books about the gods of Egypt, and there happens to be a bookstore nearby.

You can buy it anytime.

But these are not the point.

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

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

So while listening to Professor Sprout's guidance to him, he was analyzing this mechanism lock.

And with the thirty-second break of the water polo, Jon raised his hand again, re-condensing a new mechanism.

There are many totems on this mechanism, but based on ancient Egyptian mythology, the external representation of the gods is a combination of many different animals, so it is difficult to find a very suitable feature among them. In the state of knowing which god is behind this box, it is difficult for Jon to accurately capture the information he needs.

Even if you look at the mythological civilization of the whole world, the gods of ancient Egypt are also a very strange 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. They 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 omnipotent gods. In the polytheistic pantheon, the gods are often endowed with 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 ability, so they occasionally merge into one body to share each other's power, which makes Jon no way to go according to the characteristics of a certain god. Presumably, who is this god?

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

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

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

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

"Oh, is it this late?"

Professor Sprout looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost midnight.

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

"Oh, I'm really tired today, Jon, can I stay with you?"

Professor Sprout pondered for a while, then made a small request.

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