Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"I think it's not a good idea for you to waste too much time on other aspects of excavation." Professor Jacques, who went to Egypt with Liang En last time to find the Rosetta Stone, was a little confused about Liang En's recent actions.

"To be honest, if you devoted yourself to ancient Egyptology, your contribution would be much greater than it is now. For example, if the book you compiled could have been published a month earlier, Egyptology around the world would have been It will be pushed forward for a month.”

"What you said is really an exaggeration. After all, I only found a key before, and after having this key, I think others should be able to continue to follow this path."

"But none of them have your genius in this area." Professor Jacques said decisively. "No matter how much preparation you have made, I don't think anyone else can compile such an ancient Egyptian dictionary in such a short period of time."

"For example, our experts at the Louvre used this dictionary to translate a large number of inscriptions and inscriptions as soon as they got it, and they didn't even find any errors in it."

Due to historical limitations, there are a few errors in the book of the same name compiled by Champollion. Although Liang En didn't know where those errors were, he successfully corrected them with the help of [Cryptotext Cracking (R)].

Different from the previous cracks, during this revision process, one legend point can translate significantly more articles than before. Obviously this is because he has mastered most of the ancient Egyptian language.

"I'm very happy to receive your praise, Professor Jacques." Liang En said to the computer camera, "Especially this book can receive such high praise from you."

Different from the previous use of simply pulling out the memories belonging to Champollion from his mind, Liang En also put a lot of his own efforts into this book, so when he heard others praise him, he naturally felt different from before.

"But I think it's not a bad thing to conduct research in other fields. At least it can change my mind." Liang En said, smiling at the camera.

"And the facts also tell me that I haven't done too bad in other aspects. For example, this time I found the legendary Viking American colony Vinland and cracked the secret of Greek fire in history."

"That's why I say you are a genius." Professor Jacques muttered, looking depressed, "For example, I have spent my whole life studying ancient Egyptology, but my achievements are far inferior to yours."

Soon, the issue was discussed to the end. At this time, Dr. Louis, the curator of the Egyptian Pavilion of the Louvre, also came online and brought a very good news to everyone.

"The Egyptians have now opened up the qualifications for scientific examinations in the Sinai Peninsula." Dr. Louis showed excitement as soon as he went online. "These are the first permits since the 1950s."

"Sinai Peninsula, is that place safe now?" As soon as Dr. Louis finished speaking, Professor Jacques asked directly. "You know, a lot of the news about that place was related to explosions and attacks."

"Safety issues cannot be completely guaranteed. Although the place is relatively safe overall, it is difficult to say specifically about certain places." Dr. Louis said with a serious face.

"However, because of this reason, it is much easier to apply for an archaeological excavation permit than under ordinary circumstances. So how to do it still needs to be considered by each person."

Naturally, not all applicants can obtain this type of license. Dr. Louis said this because he is backed by the Louvre Museum, so he has a way to apply through the channels of the Louvre Museum.

For Liang En, in addition to being able to obtain permission from the Louvre, he can also apply as a private person.

This is mainly because after the last excavation of the Rosetta Stone, Liang En received Egypt’s First Class Medal of the Republic and the title of Honorary Citizen. With these things in place, it will not be difficult to apply for a license.

After everyone went offline, Liang En also went offline, and then started thinking about the scientific expedition in the Sinai Peninsula. To be honest, the opening of the Sinai Peninsula is indeed good news for archaeology.

Because of the previous half-century-long blockade and the chaos caused by various wars, the various relics in the entire region were not significantly damaged in the previous half-century.

The reason for this is that except for a few ruins on the Sinai Peninsula, most of the ruins are located in the deserted Gobi or mountainous areas. Most of the reasons for abandonment are lack of water necessary for survival.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, water is the cornerstone of survival. Therefore, there are basically no human settlements in areas lacking water, and the previous wars will naturally not spread to those ruins.

Even the cultural relic thieves are not very willing to enter this area. After all, the cultural relics here are not unique, so they can go to Egypt to obtain these items without risking their lives to enter the Sinai Peninsula.

Taking into account the fact that various illegal excavations were rampant due to technological advancement after World War II, the remaining cultural relics and monuments in the Sinai Peninsula naturally have a strong attraction.

However, considering that the fighting in this area has just subsided, and it is unknown how many dangerous explosives and landmines exist, it is relatively risky to enter this area for excavation work.

However, after simply weighing the pros and cons, Liang En decided to spend 10,000 euros to apply for an archaeological permit from Egypt. After all, such an archaeological permit lasts for five years, so applying for one in advance will always come in handy.

However, based on Egypt's efficiency, it may take three or four months to obtain approval after such an application is submitted. Therefore, Liang En naturally had to find other things to do during this period of time.

One of the tasks is naturally to compile a "Dictionary of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics" based on Champollion's memory in his mind and his own research. However, unlike the previous book, this type of dictionary takes a long time to complete.

Although after having Shang Boliang's memory, Liang En was able to move out the things in his memory in a very short time. However, it also takes a lot of time and energy to verify the original content based on modern archaeological results and card skills.

In addition, it would take a lot of time for any normal person to write a dictionary-like reference book. Therefore, Liang En himself is not suitable to take out this dictionary in a short period of time.

According to his analysis, in the next two to three years, his best plan is to throw out some dictionary content every once in a while, or even some controversial knowledge points. Wait until the end to come up with the finished product.

Although it will take some time to come up with the final work, it does not take too long to retell the version written by Champollion that I remember.

Especially if you want to make modifications, it is obviously much more convenient to have a template in hand than to recall it in your mind. This also gave Liang En the motivation to code.

So for the next three days, Liang En stayed in his room and worked hard on typing, until a phone call from the Philippines interrupted his work.
