The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

On the morning of the 18th, the brothers under the command of Sanchez lifted a heavy stone cover, and the front room of the tomb was opened.

Zhang Nan decided not to move the second piece, anyway, he was able to enter the front room comfortably, and there was also a cushioning platform for his feet.

Because I have checked with a military poison detector before, it can be determined that there are no toxic substances in the front room that can cause harm to humans. Unless Zhang Nan’s brain is Xiuzi put the paint on the wall or the air-dried items on the table into his mouth, otherwise it is not. Wearing protective gear will not cause problems.

Don’t want to compete with Zhang Nan for the first qualification. The fascinating feeling will be much less for the latecomers—just stand still, don’t rush to feel it, and send a tripod to support the 360. Degree spherical cold light lighting.

Put it away so that you have time to see the entire front room.

The width is about two meters, the length is nearly dead meters, and the height is more than 2 meters: the last time I saw the three murals in the endoscope, the statement is not particularly correct, because the south facing side is actually a painted relief, which is more than a plaster wall It is much more delicate to paint after painting.

The altar table with a length of nearly two meters was placed on the north side. There were several pottery plates and pots on top. Zhang Nan actually saw Heibulaji and brown dried flatbread on one of the pottery plates!

I didn't touch the murals or reliefs with my hands. The taste of the ancient Egyptian underworld here is too strong. It is enough to feel the feeling of dialogue with the world 4600 years ago. There is no need to touch it.

After a while, Zhang Nan gestured. Lin Ming was the second to enter the front room, the third was William Brin, and the fourth was Charlize Theron who was going to join in the fun.

For these four people, the freak Lin Ming asked him to go down to the front room first, because Zhang Nan would have to follow him with a bodyguard in an environment where there were any outsiders.

The space below is small. In such a small space like this, Guan Xingquan is reluctant to join hands with Lin Ming. Now it is most suitable for him to accompany Zhang Nan below.

As for Boss Guan, he was standing on a specially left cover with a translator and Sanchez to watch the excitement, and by the way, learn a bit of slurred Spanish.

When William went to the front room, Zhang Nan could see that this guy was very excited!

"This is a mural from the Fourth Dynasty, so well preserved is definitely the only one in the world, and there will never be a second place!"

Seeing him so excited, Zhang Nan smiled and said: "Cut it off and transport it back?"

Upon hearing this, William Brin suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Nan with his eyes wide open, "Mr. Allen, what are you talking about?"

"Move back if you like it, and after all the things inside are dug up, the tomb can be buried as soon as it is buried.

If you don't worry about it, the bulldozers and cars outside make a little louder sound. Use some explosives to make sure that the Egyptians two kilometers away can't hear anything. "

Zhang Nan’s words were shocking, Charlize Theron next to him turned around and looked at him, and then...

Go back and continue to study what is on the table: let alone blow up this, what if the pyramid is torn down!

It's none of her business.

Lin Ming was still expressionless as usual, and William was shocked! He knew that Mr. Allen was absolutely capable of getting things back to the United States. For him, those bodyguards might not dare to assassinate the president of the United States except that they would not do it!

Those miners are also his people. William knew that the miners’ mouths were very strict, otherwise they would die early...

But these are not the points!

The point is why he said this!

William Brin's brain was running at a high speed, and after only a few seconds, he said, "Mr. Allen, everything is up to you."

For just such a short while, William Brin felt his back sweating!

"He doesn't really want these murals, but an attitude!"

The professor can only think so: He never mentioned the Chinese bronze tripod that magically appeared last time, nor did he ask about the whereabouts of the hundreds of Nubian Meroe dynasty cultural relics that he moved back to study.

This is the reason.

In response to this answer, Zhang Nan just smiled and did not continue discussing this topic, which made William Brin even more nervous.

If the professor just said to move back, it won't take long before he and his team will die in accidents. Most likely, they will become corpses under the Egyptian desert.

This is the decision of Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan these days. Guan Boss believes that William Brin has dirty hands and feet, and his ambition and greed are not small, which may cause some trouble to Zhang Nan in the future.

Although it is unlikely to be a trouble that cannot be solved, it is detrimental to reputation and not good.

Beat it!

Who is Zhang Nan?

I have been a tutor in my previous life!

Although the co-partner has always worked happily, but at that time, because there was no tomb that would make the two uncomfortable not to cooperate, I have heard a lot of stories about the people who robbed the tomb. I have also seen the bones of ancient tomb robbers in the robbed tomb.

Since everyone has some ideas and doesn't want the Egyptian government to join in now, it's okay to be reminded first.

If William Brin is unclear and has too much appetite...

hehe!

It's not worth it to trouble yourself for the tomb of the ancient Egyptian nobles, Zhang Nan doesn't mind killing him and his team, of course after he left here.

The murals in front of me are precious to William Brin, precious to the archaeological circle of ancient Egypt, and even to the whole world, but not to Zhang Nan!

Zhang Nan has never been interested in the murals in the tomb, especially those with characters.

Evil, I don't like it!

But these murals are really good. The paintings on both sides are divided into two layers. On one side, there is a row of people dancing on the top, a group of people working in the field on the lower floor; on the other side, there is a group of people on the upper floor...

Zhang Nan couldn't understand it. It's possible that people and gods were talking. As for the lower level, two people fished with spears on a wooden boat with two pointed ends.

The relief on the south side should be a scene of war. The tall guys are holding the head of a black-skinned person in one hand, holding a semi-circular axe high in his right hand, as if he is about to slash at that guy's neck.

Behind this tall man, there is also a row of soldiers with spears and bows. The images are obviously smaller, and there are two small men in front of them who are fleeing in embarrassment.

There are also a series of animal and object symbols below. Needless to say, this should be the sacred script of ancient Egypt. It was used for more than 3,500 years, and then forgotten and died for more than 1,400 years. It was only deciphered around 1830. Ancient writing.

Zhang Nan didn't know him, but William did.

"A great discovery, Mr. Allen. The owner of the tomb is a general named Ihadu, who followed Snefru to conquer the Nubians to the south..."

Snefru, the first pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, once led an army to conquer Nubia in the South for the first time, which is probably today's Sudan, and the Nubians are blacks.

A general from 4,600 years ago, and a war was unfolded before his eyes. Although the record is extremely simple, it can be regarded as "a powerful proof of the history of a certain legend."

Great discovery!

On the sacrificial table, there was a large cake that was almost weathered into powder. On the other plate, there were remnants of dates and other food. The contents in the clay pot were dark, possibly barley.

This is dry enough, and organic matter can't be said to be typical charring, more like powdering.

The craftsmanship of the table is terrible. Zhang Nan pointed to the plate of pie and joked: "This may be the earliest bread in existence. I don't know how it tastes like?"

Bread and flatbread are two foods in China, but they can be confused in today's Egypt: "a flatbread baked like bread" is more appropriate to describe the staple food of modern Egyptians.

And the shape of the food in front of me, even if it has changed a lot because of too long time, but it looks like modern Egyptian flatbread.

In today's Egypt, flatbread is an absolute staple food. The flatbread eaten by ordinary people is still subsidized, and it is only a few cents when exchanged for RMB, which is cheap.

Of course, there are also unsubsidized pie, the same thing, the price is more than ten times the former!

Very interesting food, even after more than two decades, the price of Egyptian "subsidy pie" has hardly increased: it can't be increased, the common people will rebel when it rises!

This subsidy is also no help. Egypt’s population is growing rapidly, but the per capita arable land is much lower than that of China. With the little arable land on the banks of the Nile and the estuary, it is a foolish dream to feed all the Egyptians.

A large amount of food is imported every year. Without subsidies, low-income families in Egypt would be unable to eat.

Zhang Nan accompanied Charlize Theron to study the pie 4600 years ago, while William Brin tapped four walls with his hands: Unsurprisingly, behind the plaster wall on the north side is empty, Lord The tomb should be behind.

Zhang Nan looked the same, so let people use a hanging basket to get Charlie up first. After a while, several people on his side also returned to the ground. William's two students and two helping miners were released. Go down.

If you want to draw and take photos, you have to hurry up and pack the "world's earliest flatbread" so that it will not become a pile of powder after a few hours.

After that, the mural and the relief are covered and sealed with a sealing plastic sheet, which will help it adapt to the new environment for future follow-up protection. As for breaking through the mud wall, it is at least this evening, or even tomorrow.

…

Before lunch, there was nothing special at the tomb, but there was something new in the ruins of the pyramid!

The rescue team had been busy cleaning up there before, and they found the entrance to the pyramid just now!

It is the entrance. A doorway more than two meters high and 1.5 meters wide was originally buried by sand and rolling boulders. This would have been cleared by the miners and immediately reported to the boss: Although the opening has been cleared out, it is inclined. Down the passage, but it was still buried by sand, and there was even a big rock that rolled in.

Hearing this news, William Brin, who had just come up from the tomb of Mastaba, also ran over immediately.

The discovery of a pyramid that is not in the official records is already a major discovery, and its internal passage is still even more good news: there are likely to be some chiseled records in the passage, and there may even be missed by tomb robbers. A few cultural relics.

If Snefru’s coffin and mummy are still there, even if the tomb robbed is broken again, it will be a big discovery!

But all this is not in a hurry. First, open the main tomb of the Mastaba and say: It is right in front of you. If you are impatient, it will be a matter of a few hammers.

If you really want to see the inside of the pyramid, after the main tomb of the burial tomb is opened, you can temporarily cover the entrance with a plastic sheet. It doesn't matter if you clean it in a few days.

The premise of all this is that the brothers of the rescue team must first find a way to get out the big rock stuck inside, and then clean up the sand that does not know how far it has accumulated.

After seeing it, Sanchez and Old Zamorano agreed that the bulldozer would be used: a wire was tied to the stone, and one end was hung on the bulldozer, and then they used hand tools to chisel off the two corners of the limestone boulder that blocked the passageway.

The pneumatic pick is still not usable, because the upper structure of the pyramid is no longer available, and the entire bearing structure is not stable. Larger vibrations may lead to irreversible consequences: what is going on inside the channel can only be known after the stone is removed.

When the cleaning of other locations in the pyramid area is suspended, just deal with the entrance of the passage; the tomb of Ihadu also speeds up the recording, cleaning, and protection of the front room, and then get the sacrifice table and the broken things above it, and quickly break it. Road partition.

The things on the sacrifice table and the table must be tightly packed and sent to the ground, plus the processing of the walls, it takes time: also in Africa, but not in Zimbabwe’s own mine, which can be cut by a cutting machine. The ball, after all, is archaeology.

After a while, the front room of Ihadu’s tomb was finally settled that night. Until the next morning, no mummy got out of the ground to find trouble with Zhang Nan and the group.

The boulders blocking the way on the side of the pyramid were also towed away. The miners dug away a section of sand four or five meters deep inside, exposing a deep passage: deep inside the pyramid at an inclination of about 25 degrees, and after entering about 25 meters, the passage Divided into two: one side up, blocked by rocks.

The remaining height of the pyramid is as high as a dozen meters, and the upward passage is obviously a broken road. Even if there was a tomb at the top, this meeting has long since disappeared.

Estimated according to the volume of the pyramid, the downward path will be very long!

This pyramid that originally existed only in legends, the base is almost 220 meters long on one side, which is about the same as the Red Pyramid, and is about 10 meters shorter than the Khufu Pyramid.

According to the angle calculation, if the pyramid has been completed and not destroyed, the height will exceed 110 meters!

Sanchez went in and took a look after the downward passage was opened: the passage did not collapse. After entering 30 meters, there was a 90-degree turn, which turned horizontally forward.

The walls of the passage are not covered by mud, and they are excavated directly on the limestone bedrock: if this is the final resting place of Snefru, the "rebirth" place, UU Reading www. uukanshu. Com then his coffin and mummy should be somewhere at the end of the passage.

Sanchez did not continue down, and after returning to the ground, he told the security contractor who was guarding outside, and waited for the boss's inspection tomorrow.

…

On the morning of the 19th, Zhang Nan returned to the construction site, which was about to open the main chamber of the tomb of Ihadu.

After listening to the report on the situation of the pyramid passage, I was not in a hurry, and said: "Open the main tomb first, and surprises will always come one by one."

The miner cut through the wall, and William took it out with mud bricks.

Continue to use the poison detector, which is very good, and there is no danger after it is opened.

Zhang Nan wore the chemical protective suit sent a few days ago and waited by the side. He went to the opening that he had opened and watched for a while, then left a sentence, and he returned to the ground contentedly.

Of course, the inside has not been stolen, but there is no mural, and the coffin is not a "human-shaped coffin", but a rectangular shape. Probably there was no human-shaped coffin in the Ancient Kingdom.

There are a lot of clay pots around the tomb, and there are also a few wooden sticks with two pointed ends wrapped in leather or cloth strips. This should be the original bow.

There are several painted boxes beside the coffin, one of them collapsed, revealing half of a white bottle: it should be an alabaster stone bottle, and stay away from this Zhang Nan!

If you let go of the internal organs of the dead, the pauper tomb thief will use it as a treasure!

A bright flashlight shined in, and there was a reflection on the ground on the side of the coffin near the entrance of the tomb. There were two axes with semicircular faces and wooden handles attached to them. Two handles were probably made of flint on the side. Thick stone axe.

"Don't rush to take pictures. The copper axe and bow are good. I want the same."

After speaking, he turned around and motioned to the fellow who was waiting on the stone slab to let the people on the ground pull himself up.
