The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Along the path of the tomb to the location of the tomb door, you can see that the door is about 1.5 meters wide. It is opposite. A pair of ordinary-looking door handles are inlaid in the middle. The straw ropes are basically still there. There are only 20 centimeters of mud bricks outside—the desert. For the ancient tomb, the preservation conditions are really good!

There were ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the door, and Zhang Nan once again felt the distress of "uncultural": He was completely confused with ghost symbols in his eyes, and he didn't understand it at all!

"You shit, you won't be a few hundred years later to replace Lao Tzu with Melo Evan, so that no one will be embarrassed!"

Malicious in my heart!

Playing antiques, archeology, and tomb robbery without any culture is a very sad thing, blinding one's eyes and uncomfortable, especially when there is a knowledgeable expert on the side.

What's more terrible is that my own woman is also there. At this time, if I make people look like an illiterate, it will be ugly.

The language barrier is troublesome. Fortunately, Adjani next to her can use English proficiently. Otherwise, she will have to go to Guan Boss to do a translation?

The picture is too beautiful to think about.

I vomit in my heart, but the skills of two lifetimes of pretending to be stupid and stupidly pretending to be garlic cloves are like fire and innocence. You can't be a layman at the critical moment, and you have to be a bit more leveled.

Looking at the door of the tomb with confidence, he said, "Another new emperor of the Meroe dynasty. It should be an early one."

William Brin on the side was an academic scholar. After a long time, he didn't realize that Zhang Nan was pretending to be garlic cloves.

I agree with Zhang Nan's opinion, "Well, although there is no documentary record, it is now basically certain that this is a pyramid from the early days of the Meroet dynasty of the Kush Kingdom, during the period of strong national power..."

How did Zhang Nan judge this to be the pyramid of the early dynasty?

The reason is simple: words.

This is an Egyptian hieroglyph. It was used by the Kush Kingdom from ancient Egypt for more than two thousand years. However, in the middle and late stages of the Meroe dynasty of the Kush Kingdom, the hieroglyphs were gradually replaced by a new phonetic script created by Meroe. .

These were all discovered and confirmed in previous archaeological work.

There is a Kush Kingdom with only a name in the historical records. No one knows why this once powerful country rose and died...

Taking advantage of the labor's effort to clean up the last part of the mud bricks and numbering, Zhang Nantong looked at her with admiring eyes and told a story, "...about 2500 BC, when ancient Egypt, which was gradually stronger, expanded to the south. When I met Kush for the first time, I even fought a few fights with each other!

It is estimated that the ancient Egyptians were a little bit stunned at that time. It was like someone who originally wanted to make the back garden bigger, but thought that the outside was an unregulated wilderness.

Suddenly it was discovered that there was a wicked neighbor outside the back garden. Both sides looked at each other uncomfortably, so they rolled up their sleeves and went up!

This is all fighting. The ancient Egyptians knew that there was an unknown powerful country on the upper reaches of the Nile River. This made them very unhappy, very unhappy!

The Nubians of the Kush Kingdom are the same. They want to violently beat the northern neighbor who came to cause trouble: Are you a cow downstream?

If you don't allow others to snore on the side of the couch, just hit it!

On both sides, that is fighting to death!

One fight is more than a thousand years, and it is estimated that there will be winners and losers between each other. From the two capital transfers of the Kush Kingdom, it can be seen that the ancient Egyptians were still very fierce four thousand years ago.

However, the ancient Egyptians are not having a good life. For more than a thousand years, they can destroy the country dozens of times in other places.

Seven or eight hundred years before the Nubians completely defeated the 24th dynasty of ancient Egypt and established the 25th dynasty ruled by the Nubians, Thebes of ancient Egypt should have been captured by the Kush Kingdom.

That should be around 3,500 years ago. During that time, in the tombs of many kings of the Kush Kingdom, there were a lot of objects that could only be used by the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. This should be the spoils of the Kush Kingdom in the war..."

Speaking of this, William Blind, who was also listening, said: "Mr. Allen made a very reasonable judgment, and I think so too.

However, it is a pity that at present, from the perspective of hard studies, it can only be guessed that there was such a war that was almost annihilating, because there is no record on the ancient Egyptian side. As for Kush..."

William could only shake his head: a country thousands of years ago with only the name of the country, no hope.

At this time, Ajani really admires Zhang Nan: a senior professor at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the authorities on ancient Egyptian culture in the West agree that her little man is not exactly here to play, as he said. Play.

Zhang Nan just smiled and didn't say much: The Kush Kingdom had captured Thebes and captured ancient Egypt 3,500 years ago, only he knew for the time being, because the war that broke out between the two countries could almost be called " "Ancient war", the conflict has been fought for too long, and the historical truth has long been buried in the dust of history by the long time and the yellow sand.

There are faults in the literature, and it will take 14 years to answer this guess and obtain direct evidence.

In 2003, in an ancient tomb in ancient Egypt, an archaeologist discovered a mysterious stele with hieroglyphs written about 3,500 years ago. It recorded a history that was never known before, a section of ancient Egypt and the Kush Kingdom. Fierce battle between.

At that time, the Kush army united with the Allied forces to expedition to ancient Egypt, and a large area of ​​ancient Egypt was occupied, of course, including Thebes.

According to the stele records, at that time, the people of ancient Egypt rose up to resist. An ancient Egyptian prince gave a passionate speech before organizing this counterattack against foreign invasion.

The text on the inscription recorded part of the prince’s speech at the time: “All those who are still alive listen, the Kush have invaded in a big way. They have occupied the Wawat tribe, Ponte and Medjah, and the country has arrived. The most critical moment..."

However, the stele said: Although people united against the Nubians who provoked the war, there was no use for birds, and they ended in failure.

Moreover, the inscription directly referred to this war as "an unprecedented war since God created the world."

Perhaps the ancient Egyptians, who were deeply ashamed, were ashamed to record this terrible and almost subjugated war, and later simply erased all records of this war from the history books!

However, combined with the record of the stone tablet, it was discovered that after defeating ancient Egypt, the Kush Kingdom had no interest in the land and government of ancient Egypt. It only paid attention to gold and wealth. It was only a large-scale looting of all kinds of gold jewelry and looting ancient Egypt. After the jewelry, he left.

However, it was different when the Nubians occupied Egypt again after a few hundred years, and they simply became pharaohs themselves.

Two days ago, Zhang Nan and Adjani had talked a lot about the history of the Kush Kingdom, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable if they didn't even understand any historical background.

At least before 2000 BC, this Kush civilization had begun to take shape, otherwise it would not have the power to fight ancient Egypt for thousands of years.

The entire Kush civilization can be roughly divided into three stages: the "Kelmay stage" from about 2000 BC to 760 BC, the "Napata stage" from 760 BC to 530 BC, and The "Meroet Phase" from 530 to 350 BC.

At this time, Rose de France was asking the professor how to distinguish the approximate time of this tomb. William said: “Here, the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt are used, and during the Meroet dynasty of the Kush Kingdom, the Kush had already They began to use a text they created, called Melo Evan.

It is a set of phonetic letters designed with reference to the Egyptian sacred script and the folk script. It may be used to spell the Meroe language during the Meroe dynasty, or it may be used to spell the Nubian language of the Nubian kingdom.

In this area, the cultural relics that appeared in the pyramids in the middle and late periods basically appeared in Meloie characters, and only the early ones were hieroglyphs.

Mellowevn was only recognized in 1909, but unfortunately, the language itself has been uninterpreted until now and almost never. "

Hearing this, Ajani was a little confused and asked William: "Didn't you say that it has been recognized?"

Zhang Nan took the topic, so as not to embarrass the professor by embarrassing a layman, "Lisa, this recognition is to distinguish that this is a literal concept, not the meaning of full knowledge.

There are too many words that have disappeared in history. Although some are deciphered by modern people, they are like today’s hieroglyphs. Later people deciphered its meaning and produced a set of pronunciations, but who knew they were thousands of years ago How do you read these words?

It’s useless to have a phonetic transcription, there was no recorder thousands of years ago..."

How to read the previous text?

Ajani really didn’t think about this question, it would feel a little bit of a sudden realization, “Da Vinci painted an egg, even if the ancient Egyptians saw it, they knew it was an egg~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it might be possible to put it on. If you read it as watermelon, you might call it celery, or even call it a stone, but it's actually eggs."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, that's what it means, just like catfish, the names vary greatly from country to country, but in fact it refers to catfish.

Therefore, people nowadays so-called to decipher the lost texts in ancient times, at best they know what it means. As for the pronunciation, they are at most deceptive. "

At this point, as an archaeological woman and a veteran in the film industry, Adjani suddenly thought of something: "Someone in the movie read some ancient Egyptian documents. These are all nonsense. I mean reading, not explaining the meaning. kind."

Zhang Nan and William both smiled and nodded, "That's it. If anyone can read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, they must be made up."

This reminded Zhang Nan of the Hollywood "Mummy" series of movies that later hit the box office. What can be read in the ancient Egyptian language of "The Holy Book of the Dead" to bring people back to life and rebirth the mummies is completely nonsense.

If you really read it, those mummies won't understand what you're reading at all, and they will think that the actors are selling salted duck eggs there.

Movies are brain-opening things, nonsense!

Zhang Nan finished the three, and the tomb door has also been cleaned.

Zhang Nan asked Ajani to wait behind, and William Brin untied the straw rope on the door handle.

The camera made a record. The archaeological team used a crowbar to pry the door open a crack. Chen Hao, wearing protective clothing, had already inserted the detector head of the nuclear, biological and chemical detector, and an industrial endoscope was also inserted.

Soon, Zhang Nan standing on the tomb passage heard Chen Hao's report: "The radiation is normal, there is no chemical or biological pollution, there is a very small amount of harmful gas, and there is no danger after ventilation."

Then get ready to open the door.
