The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

In fact, Zhang Nan was a bit bragging just now, saying that he wanted to use the methods that the ancient Egyptians could use to remove the slabs: his method could be used by the ancient Egyptians, but it is hard to say whether Pharaoh Snefru would have it.

Of course, the question only arises in the question of whether the technology has emerged. In terms of materials and actual operability, let alone ancient Egypt 4600 years ago, it can also be solved by replacing the Chinese people in the caveman era.

Among them, this siege hammer is the key!

The first time the siege hammer appeared in historical records was in ancient Egypt, but that was when the new dynasty era was just established after the second intermediate period after the ancient Egyptians got rid of the Heksos rule. It's just over 3,500 years away from this meeting.

As for whether ancient Egypt or other ancient civilizations in the world had a siege hammer even earlier, Zhang Nan thinks it should be, because this thing has a simple structure, but it's not recorded.

It's simple. When the siege hammer first appeared, it was just a trunk. It is not known whether the metal head is covered or not. It is estimated that the possibility is unlikely, because Egypt is not a place where goats are produced.

What is the relationship between a siege hammer and a goat?

Because in many ancient Western languages, the siege hammer has always been the same word as the male goat and capricorn. From a linguistic point of view, the place where the siege hammer is named must be somewhere rich in goats.

So where will it be?

It may be Assyria, a name that once frightened Lianghe and Persia.

The greatest contribution of the Assyrians to mankind is the art of war, and its politics, economy, and culture have a strong military color. Almost all of the relief works left over from the Assyrian period are related to military affairs. From the perspective of the Western world, this national mobilization, militarism, division of labor and organization, mobile operations, engineering equipment, and various destructions are all Assyrian creations.

By the way, the West of China can be called the West.

In a relief depicting the Assyrian army attacking a city, there is a picture of a chariot equipped with a siege hammer hitting the enemy’s adobe city wall. This siege hammer has a typical Western-style siege ram. Features-metal ram head.

Probably because Rams always like to use their horns to hit east and west, this image is just right for the siege hammer.

The Assyrians could use metal, but the ancient Egyptians lacked metal. It is estimated that they can only use tree trunks.

Zhang Nan is going to be a siege hammer, the kind used by the ancient Egyptians. It must have wood-here is a desert area, there is not much wood!

Fortunately, Zhang Nan's requirements for wood are not particularly high. The siege hammer he made is obviously of a pocket size, and he can't use the giant wood of the level of the city gate.

But turning the construction site around, there are still two missing pieces of the most important wood.

A guy from the security contractor who understands Arabic, called.

"Go to Dahshur, there should be a building materials market. I need two logs, one of which is more than 2.5 meters in length, and can withstand at least 15 tons of vertical pressure. Don't be too thick, you can lift it with two people. Move, the stronger the appointment.

The length of the other one should not exceed 2 meters, but the weight should be between 80 and 100 kg.

If there is a car-wood room over there, let them immediately process 20 log sticks with a diameter of 5 cm and a length of 20 cm. Ordinary hardwood will do.

If not, get back a few strong logs of the same diameter that we can cut. "

The vertical compression resistance is 15 tons, not the horizontal 15 tons. It doesn't need to be too thick, and it is easy to find a suitable one under the standard that two people can carry it. Many Egyptians build houses with relatives and friends. There are many places where logs are used, which can be bought by Dahshur.

Sure enough, after a while, someone drove back to report: There is there, but it takes some time for the car to stick.

Not in a hurry, Zhang Nan is also doing a bit of manual work here.

An hour later, the two buddies who were shopping came back.

Here Zhang Nan has found all the other matching timbers and cut the length, and then cut the two newly bought logs according to Zhang Nan's requirements, and he is ready to do it!

Long and short, pushing the wood, a group of people carried, carried, and carried it into the pyramid, as well as a pile of sandbags in sack. Sanchez and old Zamorano were carrying two bundles of rope and lead wire-ancient Egypt did not Lead wire, in fact, this would be the same with hemp rope, but I couldn't find a hemp rope of the right thickness at once, so I simply replaced it with thin lead wire. This is not cheating.

When you arrive at the "fake tomb", first use lead wire to tie eight logs with a thickness of more than one meter and a few short logs to form two quadrupods, and then tie a thicker long log to serve as a longitudinal beam.

The log weighing 85 kilograms was hung from the stringer with two pieces of hemp rope, and a pocket-sized siege hammer was used to fix it.

Before, William had taken someone to remove the excess plaster around the zenith, and he could see the tiny gap between the huge stone slab above and the top of the wall—there was no danger inside, because Qiu Bo did it when the plaster was just removed. Detector.

It can be measured if there is a gap. Although it is extremely narrow, the sensitivity of the detector is high enough: the upper part is a little hypoxic, and there is no special toxic substance.

Everyone in this meeting already understands what Zhang Nan is going to do~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is definitely a method that the ancient Egyptians could do 4600 years ago!

The log that looked at least capable of withstanding dozens of tons of weight was erected diagonally against the wall-unable to stand upright because it was almost 10 cm longer than the height of the tomb.

The siege hammer adjusted the angle, and the sandbags were placed under the head of the tripod to prevent "run too much".

When the preparations are done, Zhang Nan pointed to a few brawny men, "Press the shelf a little bit, so as not to fly!"

Even the Mark brothers are here, and there is no shortage of large-tonnage sandbags. Adding Jin Wenbo and Ma Wei, this will crush the siege hammer to death!

Li Panfeng and Qiu Bo held the log that was erected slightly obliquely in front to withstand a corner of the zenith—for safety, a sandbag was sandwiched at each end of the log.

Zhang Nan walked to the back of the siege hammer and took a glance, and he swayed and hit the wood with Tu Haibo.

In the beginning, it was only slightly hard, not strong, so let it swing back and forth first. When it feels almost the same, shout and push hard!

With a "bang", the head of the bumper hit the bottom of the erected log: With this bump, a cloud of dust fell from the gaps around the top of the tomb—the bottom of the wood was shrunk inward. cut!

I feel that the impact point is very accurate, continue!

There was another "bang", and Charlize Theron, who was watching the excitement on the side, pointed to the top of the log excitedly and said loudly: "Pick up, top up!"

Of course it will be pushed up. Under the successive impacts of the siege hammer, the erected log will soon be perpendicular to the wall against it, and the huge stone slab above will be pushed up by a corner, which is inclined to the top of the tomb wall. , The maximum gap of 10 cm.

It's time to load up the prepared log rollers below.
