The key of life, also called the talisman of life, also known as Anka, is a character of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, which is interpreted as life, and it is one of the important symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization.

In ancient Greek civilization, it was also considered by the ancient Greeks to be a symbol of life and resurrection, interpreted as a 'cross with a handle'.

Its shape is a bit like a T with a circle handle on the top. It is not only a symbol of life, but also a symbol of royal power.

The Key of Life is the oldest symbol of the gods in Egypt. This symbol is often found in ancient Egyptian cemeteries and art, and ancient Egyptian mirrors are often made in this shape.

Many ancient Egyptian gods, such as the sun god Ra, the goddess of life Isis, the god of revenge Horus, the god of wealth Hathor, etc., all of these gods hold the key to life.

Because of its special meaning, the key of life was also made into an amulet by the ancient Egyptians. It exists alone and is related to the other two ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, which are 'strength' and 'health'.

In modern times, the amulet of life has been widely used in popular culture, representing a long history, mysterious power, and a symbol of ancient Egypt.

Because of this, various forms of life symbols can be seen everywhere in Egypt.

Among them, there are not only individual sculptures, but also those held in the hands of various gods in ancient Egypt, not only from ancient Egypt, but also made by later generations, and the number is extremely large.

However, almost all the ancient Egyptian life talismans discovered so far have never been engraved with the sun god Ra, and the images of other ancient Egyptian gods are very common.

This may be because Ra is the supreme god in ancient Egyptian mythology, the creator of life, regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the creator, with a supreme status, and is not allowed to be engraved on the talisman of life!

But the image of the sun god Ra is clearly engraved on the "key of life" in front of him, so it gives people a somewhat deviant feeling!

Perhaps it is for this reason that this stone sculpture from ancient Egypt was considered to be a fabricated fake, so it was ignored and thrown in the corner, no one cares about it!

More importantly, the ancient Egyptian sculpture of this talisman of life is not a funerary object, and there is no lingering dead air on it, but fresh aura, which is also a surprise.

Obviously, this 'Key of Life' sculpture should have been buried somewhere in the Egyptian desert before, but it was discovered by coincidence and ended up in this antique shop.

Ye Tian glanced over this priceless ancient Egyptian stone carving, and then looked at the stone slab engraved with many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and exquisite patterns in front of him, looking very interested.

In fact, this is a fabricated so-called antique cultural relic, which was produced only three or four years ago, and it must be painful to touch!

The middle-aged clerk looked at Ye Tian, ​​then at the stone slab, and then began to explain, which was naturally a lot of hype!

Ye Tian regarded it as listening to a story, and listened with great interest.

After the middle-aged clerk finished his introduction, he just nodded and said thank you, but didn't say whether he wanted to buy this so-called ancient Egyptian relic.

Then, he walked to another adjacent shelf and continued to admire the things on that shelf.

What he did made the middle-aged clerk a little confused, and he froze in place.

Soon, half an hour has passed.

Ye Tian walked out of this antique shop on the street, the same as when he entered. At this time, he was still empty-handed and hadn't bought anything.

As soon as he walked out of the antique shop, he saw Walker standing across the street and Peake standing on the side of the antique shop. These two guys had changed their appearance.

Seeing him coming out, the two guys nodded slightly, then followed him and continued walking along the street.

At this time, the street has returned to calm.

The Egyptian thieves who were beaten up by Walker and the others before have been taken away by the Cairo police.

He was sent to the hospital, and he is expected to stay in the hospital for a while.

While walking, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone casually, and started sending text messages to that guy Bowie, asking him to take someone to the antique shop just now, and sweep through the few antique cultural relics he liked.

In addition to the statue of the Talisman of Life engraved with the image of God Ra, in the depths of the antique shop, he also found a broken obelisk tip, which came from ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, and it is also considered a top-level antique. cultural relics.

The tip of the obelisk should have been wrapped in gold, or bronze and gold-silver alloy, and it should have been engraved with a large number of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns to worship the sun. It is one of the most distinctive symbols of ancient Egypt.

In this way, when the rising sun hits the tip of the stele, it will shine like a dazzling sun.

It's a pity that the covering on the tip of the obelisk, that is, the outer skin of gold or gold-silver alloy, has long been peeled off, exposing the granite below.

Some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and some patterns derived from ancient Egyptian mythology are engraved on the conical granite, many of which are blurred and weathered very badly.

The only remaining hieroglyphs and patterns that can be clearly identified do not specify which dynasty of ancient Egypt the obelisk came from, and which pharaoh built it.

Moreover, the tip of the obelisk was seriously damaged, and the value of cultural relics and collections seemed to be greatly reduced, so it was ignored.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, the tip of the obelisk radiated dazzling light, and the whole body was full of fresh aura, as dazzling as the sun!

Naturally, Ye Tian couldn't let go of such a top-level antique cultural relic.

In addition to these two antique artifacts from ancient Egypt, he found another sculpture from the Roman period, which was a bust of an Egyptian nobleman.

That sculpture also has a bit of Arab culture, it is a cultural relic from the transition period from Roman rule to Arab rule in Egypt, and it has certain value!

In addition, there are several top-notch antiques and works of art that are worth a lot of money in that antique shop.

It's a pity that the owner of the antique shop is very aware of the value of those antique cultural relics and works of art, and regards them as treasures. Although Ye Tian has a keen eye, he can only look at them, but can't get them!

While speaking, Ye Tian had finished sending the message, and then put away the phone.

Then he walked forward for a further distance, and he saw that guy Bowie got off an SUV parked on the street with two of his men, and walked straight to the antique shop not far away.

That guy didn't know what Ye Tian looked like now, so he naturally didn't say hello to Ye Tian who was walking on the other side of the street, and the two just passed by on both sides of the street!

Ye Tian just smiled softly, without stopping at all, walked to another antique shop not far ahead, and continued his search journey.

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.

When the lights first came on, the three of Ye Tian and Peake returned to the Nile Hotel in a bulletproof SUV, and walked into the hotel lobby while chatting and laughing.

At this time, they have all returned to their respective appearances. It looks like they have gone out for a day and then returned to the hotel. They are no different from other tourists who came to Egypt!

However, the Egyptian antiquities police guarding the lobby of the Nile Hotel frowned the first time they saw them.

Without exception, these Egyptian cultural relics police all have a very bad feeling!

The day Steven, the bastard, disappears, maybe an antique store or antique market in Cairo has already suffered a bloodbath, but everyone doesn't know it!
