Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 506 25 Mergwin’s Research (1)

After a side-by-side battle, Harsh and Loki are no longer separated.

Before entering the city, he had already revealed to Loki that this time he was able to receive the task of escorting the Byzantine bachelors into the Black Desert, all due to the support given to him by the "Waldorf Family".

Thirteen years later, "Emma Waldorf", who entered Leviathan's Violin with Loki, has become the well-deserved chief of the Royal Academy of Sciences by virtue of her research on the New World.

Relying on her influence, more members of the Waldorf family began to abandon business and switch to the Royal Academy of Sciences.

The person leading the explorer team on this expedition is Emma's sister, the 22-year-old "Mergwen Waldorf".

Fifteen years ago, after entering the City of Night and successfully escaping from Leviathan's Inner Palace, Loki obtained the Imperial Seal and the Xuanyuan Sword. Old Gore obtained the Poisonous Scorpion Bracelet and the "Horu" that imprisoned Nefertiti's soul. Mask of Anubis", and the Scepter of Anubis.

Emma Waldorf also took home the spoils.

When the Cyclops rushed into the obsidian pyramid, she was still recording the obsidian tower pillars left over from the Sumerian civilization.

Knowing that the enemy is approaching, time does not allow it. During the crisis, she grabbed two huge leather scrolls from the golden mountain where ancient Babylonian stone pillars were piled. While running, she grabbed a few ancient books and stuffed them into the backpack behind her.

After successfully returning to the Royal Academy of Sciences, she was surprised to find that these books were all "Book of the Dead".

This kind of book was compiled using a more mysterious language by the "Styx Priests" of the Temple of Anubis. The Styx Priests believed that when the mortal body dies, they need to use another method to enter the underworld in the soul state. language.

Only the disciples of Hades knew how to write this language.

The "Book of the Dead" records the deeds of the deceased during their lifetime.

When the pharaohs, nobles or temple priests of ancient Egypt died, their souls would carry the "Book of the Dead" across the sea of ​​​​the dead and come to the kingdom of the dead.

All their achievements during their lifetime can be found in the "Book of the Dead". In this way, when facing the leader of Anubis, Pluto "Osiris".

Osiris would open the Book of the Dead and carefully review their deeds in life to determine how long they would survive in the underworld.

The next step is the mysterious "Heart-Weighing Ceremony".

There was a scale before Osiris. Anubis will dig out the heart of the deceased on one side and place a ball of feathers on the other side.

If the heart is lighter than a feather, the deceased can pass through the Hades and be judged by the next god.

And if the heart is heavier than a feather

The Archangel Anubis will throw the heart to the monster nearby to eat.

The dead will be imprisoned in the palace of Hades forever and will never be resurrected.

Ever since she met "Sun Sacrifice" Youmu in Leviathan's Inner Palace, Emma has become obsessed with the study of the Mayan civilization in the New World.

After returning home, she kept stacking several "Books of the Dead" and two parchments filled with ancient Babylonian cuneiform in the corner of the laboratory.

This release lasts for 12 years.

It wasn't until three years ago that my sister Mergwin, a third-year student at the Royal Academy of Sciences, found these ancient scrolls on a dusty bookshelf during an unexpected stayover.

At this time, Emma, ​​who was obsessed with exploring the New World, had completely forgotten these ancient books.

Recognizing the mysterious characters of Quetzalcoatl every day, studying various novel animals and plants discovered in the New World, and frequently going to sea meant that she had no time to learn two new languages ​​in 12 years.

My sister, who is very interested in ancient Egyptian civilization, started to form a team to conduct her own research after getting the ancient book.

Over a long period of three years, Mergwin carefully identified most of the texts in the ancient books through systematic semiotic research.

subsequently

She was surprised to find that the Royal Academy of Sciences' research on the Book of the Dead and the Pharaohs were all wrong.

From the compilation method of using the "Book of the Dead"

How to use this ancient book

None of them are correct!

Ancient Egypt is the earliest human civilization born on this planet. From the first day after the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences, a large number of bachelors have begun systematic research on this ancient country.

When the ancestors, under the leadership of the "Creator Nuwa", blocked the passage for foreign gods to enter the world, and exterminated all the giants and dragons that occupied the world, the footprints of the ancestors have spread all over the continents.

But why did the ancient Egyptian civilization on both sides of the Nile get such an advanced start?

Why did they become a civilization and build majestic city-states and great pyramids when most humans still lived in tribes and villages?

You know, even in AD810, the "Giza Pyramids" were still the tallest buildings in human civilization, bar none!

The height of the three great pyramids is even higher than that of many of the architectural remains left by giants.

Our ancestors started from the same starting point. Why was it that only the ancient Egyptians were able to do this? !

These questions formed a powerful driving force for studying this ancient civilization. Countless scholars died in the Black Desert one after another, but they brought back various cultural relics left by the Egyptians in the desert.

The most numerous of them is undoubtedly the Book of the Dead.

**

During the 4,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization, millions of nobles and slave owners were buried in the Taklimakan Desert.

When explorers go deep into the uninhabited wilderness and open any coffin, the ancient corpse covered with bandages will inevitably hold an ancient scroll compiled from papyrus in their hands.

Not just Pharaoh.

Nobles, priests, and even wealthy slave owners in the ancient Egyptian kingdom would carry the Book of the Dead with them to their graves. This ancient volume drawn with gold powder has a certain collection value.

Wealthy businessmen pretending to be intellectuals would randomly place a book in a corner of their house to show their familiarity with ancient civilizations. When there are distinguished guests, they would take it out, flip through a few pages, and enjoy thousands of pages. The exquisite painting techniques of the priests years ago

But that's about it.

Because the number of various "Books of the Dead" is too numerous.

In the city of Memphis, sometimes this thing is not even sold by the book, but purchased by the pound. A pound is only more than twenty gold coins.

There is no difference from the mass-produced "Bible" at this time.

Three years ago, several "Books of the Dead" were just discovered in Emma's laboratory. As an introductory material for the study of ancient Egyptian culture, Mergwin did not pay much attention to it.

However, when she opened the first page of these ancient books, her soul was immediately shocked beyond compare.
