Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Although the technology of ancient people is in most cases inferior to that of modern people today, the gap between the two sides in terms of diet is not as big as the gap in technology.

This is especially true for the food of ancient royal nobles. At least for most modern people, except for a few overly distinctive foods, almost all ancient high-end foods taste good.

At least this is the case with the batch of cheeses that Liang En is selling now. After customers received and tasted the cheeses, most of the feedback was very positive.

Compared with today's industrially produced cheeses, these traditional royal cheeses have a richer taste and can bring more deliciousness to diners during cooking.

In addition to selling, he also packaged the first batch of samples and gave them to his friends and acquaintances, even if they were just acquaintances.

Anyway, here in Europe, cheese is a necessity that everyone eats with every meal, so giving half a pound of vacuum-packed cheese to each of those acquaintances is a good way to promote the products of this store.

Unexpectedly, on the third day after he mailed those things, he received a parcel in the town from University College London.

"It seems that you have done quite well in academics recently." Uncle Joyce said when handing the parcel to Liang En, "You always receive parcels from various academic institutions."

"This is mainly because some institutions are a bit conservative, so they would rather send me copies of various documents than send them directly through the computer." Liang En shook his head helplessly.

In order to write the ancient Egyptian dictionary, Liang En made requests to many schools and libraries to query some of the documents.

After all, there were many loopholes in the original version, so he could not completely copy the memory left by Champollion in his mind. If he wanted to write something more perfect, it would be inevitable to check enough samples. .

Although most of these institutions have kept pace with the times and will transmit various data to Liang En through methods such as email, some conservative institutions still mail various copies as in the past.

For example, during the recent period, Liang En received a parcel from various schools or libraries almost every day or two. So much so that Uncle Joyce at the post office is somewhat familiar with these parcels.

"Actually, it would be faster if it were sent over the Internet. Unfortunately, many institutions in the UK are too rigid in handling various matters, so letters are mailed just like they were 100 years ago."

Liang En complained about the old-fashioned attitude of some British people, and then took the parcel. Halfway there, however, he began to frown, for he did not remember that he had ever made such a request to UCL.

After returning home, Liang En opened the mail package and saw that in addition to a very well-wrapped plastic package, there was also a letter.

After opening the letter and reading the contents, he figured out what the parcel was about: it was a piece of information related to ancient Egypt, but had nothing to do with Liang En's previous work.

The parcel came from Daniel, the Coptic whom Liang En and Fan Meng had rescued from some racists before. After the last incident, the two parties had become acquainted.

Because the other party was a Copt, Liang En and he mainly talked about things related to ancient Egypt. Of course, they also asked about the contents of the ancient Egyptian ruins around his home and the legends about his ancestors.

Daniel helped Liang En a lot in this regard, especially as a Copt who has been living in the countryside instead of the city for hundreds of years, Daniel's hometown left some ancient legends.

Although these legends are scattered and full of fallacies, if you analyze them carefully, you can still analyze a lot of valuable things.

For example, according to a folk song, there were traces of human activities in this place before the ancestors of the Daniel family came to this place.

Because the core of the content sung in this ballad is the story of a group of exiles entering the desert in search of a new home, and then discovering the ruins of an ancient village and water sources in despair.

Daniel once told Liang En that the well in their village was old. Even the old people say the well was here before they came.

Because the other party provided so much help, when the other party hoped to find a job as a tour guide to gain experience after graduation, Liang En used his favor to let Pierce help him join a good travel company.

Daniel kept Liang En's previous help in mind, so on the day Liang En mailed him cheese, he also happened to send a series of cultural relics near his hometown that had just been sent by his relatives in his hometown. Photos and samples were sent.

"This is really thoughtful." Looking at the neatly organized boxes and photos, Liang En showed a heartfelt smile, and then began to look at these things.

Compared with the pictures of cultural relics in the museum, the things Daniel sent all looked gray, and many of them lost a lot of information due to the unprofessional photographer.

But in the only photos that could be roughly seen and the gadgets in the box, Liang En still found some very valuable information.

For example, judging from several photos that look like they are looking down from a certain hill, it can be seen that there is an artificial road in the valley.

From another picture, you can clearly see a very ancient-looking ancient Egyptian shrine beside the dry river. Unfortunately, the statue on it has disappeared due to wear and tear, leaving only a few traces.

The most important thing is a small box containing more than a dozen malachite fragments. According to the letter, malachite does not exist around Daniel's hometown, and these malachites were picked up from dry rivers.

Through these evidences, Liang En could probably tell that there was probably a copper mine from the ancient Egyptian era around Daniel's hometown, because according to historical records, the Egyptian Pharaoh once sent some troops and craftsmen into the Sinai Peninsula to mine various minerals.

This is a very valuable discovery, because according to the information that En has inquired about, no ancient Egyptian ruins have been found near Daniel's hometown so far.

"It seems that after getting the archaeological permit for the Sinai Peninsula this time, there will be somewhere to go." Looking at this pile of information, Liang En immediately thought of the permit he had applied for before.

After all, the Sinai Peninsula is so large that finding a target is not an easy task. Especially for those who do not want to dig out old ruins, it is not that simple to find an ancient Egyptian ruin in the vast wasteland.

Therefore, compared to digging for known ruins or aimlessly eating sand in the Gobi Desert, such a copper mine belonging to the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh is obviously valuable for discovery.

Especially in addition to the mine itself, considering the ancient Egyptians' belief in gods, it is likely that you will find some complete shrines or even small temples around the mine.

"Sure enough, good deeds are rewarded with good deeds." Liang En looked at the information and smiled. “This next big problem is solved.”
