Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Thank you! I'm really sorry to trouble you." After taking the pile of letters. Liang En smiled and nodded, then returned to his room with the letters.

After returning to the room, he opened the letters one by one and found that except for two letters, which were advertisements and bills, the remaining letters came from a series of museums such as the British Empire Museum, the Hermitage Museum in Russia, and the Louvre Museum in France. Department of Ancient Egyptian Antiquities.

Obviously, the translation of some common words in ancient Egyptian in Liang En's third paper suddenly attracted a group of big names in this field of research, so they sent letters one after another asking about this aspect.

In addition to the request for communication between the two parties, almost every letter was accompanied by several photos of ancient Egyptian text, and it was stated that Liang En could help translate the content in the photos.

It was not difficult to translate these ancient Egyptian texts written on papyrus and carved on wood or stone tablets, so Liang En quickly translated everything above and followed the email address on the letter one by one. Sent over.

As a result, when he sent the last translation, his email box started ringing. After clicking on the email in his mailbox, he was surprised to find that Dr. Louis, the curator of the Egyptian Museum at the Louvre, had actually replied to him.

"Do the French move so fast?" Looking at this email, Liang En's eyes widened violently, because this was definitely not as efficient as his impression of the French doing things.

Of course, Liang En didn't know that his article had been read and highly recognized by this group of French Egyptology experts from the Louvre before it was published. Therefore, the other party kept an eye on Liang En's mailbox, and would alert him whenever there was any movement. reply.

The content of this email is very interesting because it is an invitation letter. Invite Liang En to participate in an archaeological mission to Egypt in two weeks.

Obviously, because these papers of Liang En demonstrated his attainments in ancient Egyptian language. Only these people from the Ancient Egypt Museum of the Louvre would send him an invitation to go to Egypt to conduct on-site archaeology.

In most people's imagination, archeology means searching for buried treasures and traveling to exotic places. Use your toothbrush and dental tools to carefully dig something out of the soil.

But in fact, in most cases of archeology, archaeologists don't know how to do it, and naturally have nothing in common with their counterparts on the screen like Indiana Jones.

To take the simplest example, anything you find in these formal archaeological efforts does not and should not belong to the discoverer. The most valuable parts will be sent to national or regional museums for public exhibition.

But most of it will be put into boxes or bags and stored in local museums, universities or other places for scholars to study.

From an archaeological perspective, post-mortem research is more important than excavation work. A 6-7 week excavation may require scholars to study for two years or even longer before publishing the research results.

In other words, if Liang En is willing to go to Egypt to participate in this archaeological operation, it is basically impossible for him to gain any economic benefits. Considering that he was also unable to do his job during this period, it was equivalent to losing money.

But on the other hand, participating in these archaeological works was beneficial to his personal reputation, which was very important for many things to come.

What's more important is that if he really finds some important relics in history, even if he doesn't get anything materially, the cards he gets are enough to make him feel that it's a worthwhile trip.

More importantly, because of the subtle differences between the two worlds. Therefore, there are several countries in this world that have conditionally opened certain regulations related to personal treasure hunting. Therefore, Liang En still has a chance to take away some treasures from this area.

Of course, the reason why Liang En did this was entirely because he had that set of magical cards. Therefore, he is fully qualified to find all kinds of treasures without violating any laws.

After making up his mind, Liang En walked out of his room to discuss the matter with Fan Meng. Because Liang En was invited as a scholar. The scholars who are generally invited are not only celebrities, but also often older.

So in this case, the inviting party will not only give the scholar a place, but also give them one or two student places.

In order to treat everyone equally, even though Liang En was young and not well-known, the other party still gave him a place as an entourage with food, accommodation and travel expenses included.

"Of course I want to go with you. Didn't we make an appointment in advance?" Fan Meng said directly after hearing this, "Besides, I am familiar with North Africa, so I might be able to help you. .”

Because the French colonies were mainly concentrated in West Africa and North Africa, the other country's national interests in Africa were basically concentrated there. In this case, the Foreign Legion is often deployed in this area.

Therefore, during Fan Meng's previous military service, his overseas deployment time was basically all completed in the Sahara Desert and nearby areas, so he is naturally familiar with a large area including Egypt.

After finalizing the personnel, Liang En sent copies of the passports of the two people to the Louvre Museum via fax.

The biggest advantage of this trip for them is that the Louvre Museum will handle all the procedures for them, so they don’t have to worry about it themselves.

Ten days later, the two prepared people took a plane with two large suitcases and flew straight to Paris, France to meet the scientific expedition team of the Louvre Museum.

At first, they were worried that having too much luggage would cause dissatisfaction from others.

As a result, after they were reunited, they discovered that the archaeological team from the Louvre Museum had a lot of luggage. The wooden and iron boxes with lead seals on them alone could fill a standard small container.

"This time we will take a batch of carry-on luggage and fly directly to Egypt to start preliminary inspection work. These large luggage will be transported by train to Marseille and then directly shipped to Egypt."

After Liang En met the archaeological team, a young staff member named Bernard told him about the process, "So if you have any big things that are difficult to carry, you can send them directly with these things."

"Thank you, but we don't have much stuff, so it should be no problem to carry it with you." Liang En said with a smile. "By the way, I know that I didn't say the location of this inspection before due to confidentiality, but I should be able to say it now."

"Sorry, no one knows the location of this inspection except the leader, Mr. Jacques." Bernard said with a helpless shrug. "Because we want to prevent some illegal diggers from reaching the target before us."

"Okay, I understand." Liang En nodded and said, then handed his supply list to Mr. Bernard.

"You did the right thing. At least I hope to find something truly valuable this time instead of helping a group of tomb robbers clean up the mess."

"Thank you for your understanding." Bernard smiled and took the list. "Of course, there are still some things that can be revealed. For example, our target this time is the ruins of an Egyptian fortress near the mouth of the Nile—"
