Treasure Hunt all over the World

Just after eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian had arrived in front of the National Museum of Egypt and started his long-awaited visit.

The Egyptian National Museum is at the corner of Liberation Square, very close to the Nile Hotel, it can be said that it is close at hand, just a few steps away from the hotel.

This world-famous museum didn't open until nine o'clock in the morning, but Ye Tian arrived here an hour earlier.

The reason why he did this was to make the best use of time as much as possible, and strive to visit this world-famous museum in one day, so as not to spend too much time here.

You know, there are many famous museums in Cairo, and there are many antique shops and antique art markets all over the city, waiting for Ye Tian to visit.

However, the tripartite joint exploration team has relatively limited time to stay in Egypt, so it is natural to make full use of this limited time!

Another reason for rushing to the Egyptian National Museum ahead of time was that Ye Tian wanted to use the hour before the museum opened to appreciate the many antiques displayed at the entrance of the museum and in the garden.

There are not a few tourists who hold the same idea as him!

Although there is still an hour before the opening of the museum, the entrance of the Egyptian National Museum and the garden are already full of people, very lively!

Tourists from all over the world are flocking from all directions to visit this world's top museum and appreciate the ancient and mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization.

At this time, Ye Tian was wearing a baseball cap on his head, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and carrying a backpack. He mixed in the crowd and walked straight to the entrance of the National Museum of Egypt. He didn't look special at all!

Among the tourists from all over the world and the Egyptian police patrolling here, no one recognized him, thinking that he was just an ordinary tourist from East Asia!

Obviously, Ye Tian made some disguise and changed his appearance, so no one recognized him.

The reason for doing this is of course for safety reasons, Ye Tian doesn't want to be the target of snipers.

For example, the Arab sniper who ambushed the tripartite joint exploration team in the Sinai Peninsula before, who knows if that guy came to Cairo and ambushed near Tahrir Square, after all, this is an open public space.

Unlike European cities such as Rome and Paris, here is Cairo,

It is the largest city in the Arab world. If Ye Tian's many security personnel want to operate here, they will inevitably be subject to many restrictions, and they cannot do whatever they want!

Because Matisse and the others are either white or black, and there are no Arabs, the characteristics are very obvious and clear at a glance!

It is very difficult for them to enter the buildings around Liberation Square for inspection, even if they are disguised as Arabs!

The reason is that most of the buildings around Tahrir Square are very important, such as the Egyptian Central Government Building, the Arab League Building, etc. The security checks in these places are very strict, and it is difficult to get in!

If someone ambushes in these buildings and conducts long-range sniping, even if Mattis and Mossad find out the location of the sniper, it will be difficult to enter these buildings to round up the sniper!

In view of this, Ye Tian made a disguise when he went out in the morning.

He changed his attire and appearance, pretending to be an ordinary tourist from East Asia, and then quietly left the Nile Hotel and appeared in Liberation Square.

As for his current identity, he is an ordinary Chinese tourist from Seattle, USA. His passport and all other documents are all available without any loopholes!

Of course, these documents are 'real' forged documents, and there is nothing wrong with them!

Except for a few people, none of the members of the tripartite joint exploration team knew his whereabouts or what he looked like now.

Even Joshua, Bishop of Kent and others didn't know where Ye Tian had gone. They could only guess secretly that he probably went to the National Museum of Egypt with makeup!

Apart from Ye Tian, ​​some other members of the tripartite joint exploration team also left the Nile Hotel early and came near the National Museum of Egypt, waiting for the museum to open, and then went in for a visit.

A few meters away from Ye Tian, ​​there were several employees under him, joking, chatting and walking towards the gate of the museum!

Those guys never thought that the ordinary tourist wearing sunglasses not far away was his boss!

And seven or eight meters behind Ye Tian, ​​Walker and Pique, who were also in disguise, mixed with the crowd coming and going, secretly protecting Ye Tian!

While speaking, Ye Tian had arrived at the flower bed in front of the National Museum of Egypt, and then stopped, looking at the flower bed and the museum gate a little farther away.

At the entrance of the National Museum of Egypt, there is a vibrant courtyard in which lotus flowers symbolizing ancient Upper Egypt and papyrus symbolizing ancient Lower Egypt are planted.

Papyrus is the oldest paper-making material in the world. As early as 5,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians began to use papyrus and exported this special product to ancient Greece and other ancient Mediterranean civilizations, and even the distant European inland and West Asia.

The study of ancient manuscripts written on papyrus is called papyrus, and papyrus has also become one of the symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Ye Tian looked at the lotus leaves floating in the courtyard pond and the lush papyrus, then shifted his gaze to the Egyptian National Museum ahead.

This is an ancient and luxurious double-storey stone building, which was designed and built in 1858 by the famous French archaeologist Mariette, who was called the "father of the Egyptian Museum" by the Egyptians.

The original intention of the Egyptians to build this museum was to prevent the excavated Egyptian national treasures from flowing abroad. The museum was later relocated twice, and it was only moved to the new Cairo museum at the beginning of the last century!

Although it has been moved several times, this famous museum uses the same architectural design scheme, so the appearance has not changed much.

Because this museum was designed and built in the colonial period, and it was designed by the French. Its appearance has obvious Western cultural colors and North African Arab cultural colors. It is the product of the fusion of the two cultures.

On both sides of the pool in front of the museum, that is, on both sides of the pond planted with lotus and papyrus, there are two huge Sphinxes, the famous Sphinx, one on the left and the other on the right. On both sides of the gate of the museum.

Judging from the location of the two sphinxes, they are a bit like Chinese stone lions, both of which guard the gate, but they have different shapes and different meanings in their respective civilization systems.

In addition to the two sphinxes, in the courtyard in front of the museum, there are other antiques from ancient Egypt, basically stone carvings.

They are either standing on the lawn, or placed in front of the window, or standing on a high pedestal, silently showing people the ancient and splendid ancient Egyptian civilization.

For example, the two ancient Egyptian pharaoh stone statues standing at the entrance of the museum are located on both sides of the entrance of the museum, watching everyone who enters or exits the museum or passes by the entrance of the museum.

Many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns are engraved on some of the ancient Egyptian stone carvings. As for the meaning of these words and patterns, not many people know.

Right above the arched gate of the museum is a marble relief head of Hathor, the most beautiful goddess of ancient Egypt and the god of wealth, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but with a pair of horns on top of the head, looking forward with a smile.

There is a niche on the left and right sides of the gate. In the left niche is a marble relief of Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, holding a bunch of lotus flowers in her hands, symbolizing Upper Egypt.

In the alcove on the right is the same ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, Isis, holding a papyrus symbolizing Lower Egypt.

These two reliefs of the goddess Isis with different postures are exquisitely carved and lifelike. The reason why they are here symbolizes the unity of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.

Opposite the main entrance of the Egyptian National Museum, there is also a marble statue of Mariette, the "Father of the Egyptian Museum", quietly watching his most outstanding works.

Ye Tian, ​​who was walking in the courtyard in front of the Egyptian National Museum, was soon attracted by the many ancient Egyptian cultural relics here, and admired them intoxicated.

After stopping and walking, he came to a statue of a Sphinx, ready to admire this cultural relic from ancient Egypt.

At this moment, a joking voice suddenly came from the side, and the voice was in Tianjin dialect, which was very funny to listen to.

"It looks like it! Isn't this what Guo Degang said about the 'face of a person who loses his face'? It's no different from our Chinese stone lions, and it's not as powerful as the stone lions, but it does look a bit decent!"

"Hahaha"

Hearing this, Ye Tian laughed out loud, and turned his head to look at the guy who said this.

No need to ask, the person who said this must be a Chinese, and it is a cross talk lover from the metropolis.

As Ye Tian expected, they were two tourists from China, a man and a woman in their early twenties, each carrying a backpack, they looked like two college students.

Ye Tian glanced at the two guys, then smiled and said hello:

"Good morning, are you tourists from China? My name is Chen Fei. I am a Chinese from Seattle, USA. Can I get to know you? Sometimes I also listen to Guo Degang's cross talk, which is very funny!"

With that said, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand, ready to shake hands with those two guys.

Hearing Ye Tian's very standard Mandarin, the two guys were stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, the man among them shook hands with Ye Tian.

"Hello, Brother Chen, nice to meet you. My name is Zhao Nan. This is Lin Yu. I come from Tianjin, China. Your Mandarin is so standard. Listening to you, I thought you were from Beijing. Who would have imagined that?" From Seattle, USA!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing secretly.

You heard me right, my buddy is a true native of Beijing!
