Chapter 182
"Oh?"

Chen Quan took the file.

The southern boulder in Qu Yanqiu's mouth is located in Baalbek, northeast of Beirut.

The reason why it is called an anachronistic relic is not because of the superb processing technology, but because of its huge size and weight.

The southern boulder is 21.5 meters long, 4.2 meters high and 4.8 meters wide.Its minimum side length is already close to the height of a 2-story building.The weight has reached an astonishing nearly 2000 tons!
The average weight of the stones used to build the Great Pyramid is about 2.5 tons, which is already a huge stone in the eyes of humans.And the southern boulders are thousands of times larger than the pyramid boulders.

That's a weight that would have required 32 people to lift without mechanical assistance.

Although in theory, as long as the number of people is enough, no matter how heavy the stone can be moved.But there is also the question of feasibility.

First of all, since its weight has reached the kiloton level, there is no human rope that can play a role in traction except for steel bars or carbon fibers.

Second, regardless of manpower or animal power, because the quantity is too large, there is no way to coordinate and organize.

Third, the wheels and the ground.

Not to mention the ancient wooden wheels, even in modern society, the transportation of thousands of tons is an extremely difficult task.

At present, the largest human vehicle has a load capacity of about 300 tons.

It is not impossible to transport more than this weight, such as a special transport platform designed for moon landing rockets.But any special transport vehicle over 500 tons is an absolute heavy weapon for a big country.There are no more than 5 countries that can complete such vehicles.

If instead of wheels and vehicles, hardwood is used, even if the stone is filled with hardwood, the hardwood will be crushed or directly pressed into the ground.

Fourth, lift.

The boulder is not simply finished when it is sent to the position.

They need to be lifted to a height of 10 meters, 20 meters.Cranes in the Roman era could only lift objects up to 6 tons.A total of 166 cranes are needed to install such a huge stone.And this is simply not possible, because there is not enough space next to the stone.

Therefore, legends of aliens, or giants, have been circulating locally.And scientists and archaeologists couldn't find any reasonable explanation at all.

"Oh. I don't know which god's masterpiece this southern boulder is."

Chen Quan flicked the magazine picture in his hand with his index finger. "However, the Baalbek Temple is different from the pyramids. That place has been abandoned for thousands of years, and it is a complete ruin. How will he meet us?"

"Yes!"

Qu Yanqiu was also a little worried.
-
Lebanon, Beirut International Airport.

"Finally you don't have to wear a hijab."

Walking down the covered bridge, Qu Yanqiu cheered.The hijab that had accompanied her for a month was finally taken off.

Lebanon is located on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Syria to the north, Palestine and Israel to the south, and its special geographical location makes it particularly dazzling in the Middle East.

Although Lebanon is still considered an Arab country, half of the Lebanese believe in Christianity. Therefore, Beirut is also the most Westernized Arab city.It even has the title of Little Paris in the Middle East.

Most of the people walking around the airport are beautiful long-haired beauties.This is in stark contrast to the situation in Egypt where men dominate and a small number of women wear headscarves.

"Don't be blinded by the superficial prosperity."

Wang Qing looked serious.

"It's okay. Beirut is not as chaotic as you said, is it?" Chen Quan retorted.

In order to change the plan to visit Lebanon, the expedition broke out in the first real quarrel.Whether it is the CIA duo or Wang Qing, they all tend to stay in Egypt and wait.

As for the CIA, according to White, they transferred a giant X-ray machine from America to prepare to see through the Great Pyramid.Chen Quan couldn't imagine the scale of an X-ray machine capable of taking pictures of the 144-meter-high Great Pyramid.

In addition to taking X-rays of the Great Pyramid, White also organized a professional archaeological excavation team, preparing to dig directly from the King's Chamber.

Some archaeologists believe that there are a large number of undiscovered chambers in the Great Pyramid.The evidence is that countless archaeologists and tomb robbers have not been able to find any valuable cultural relics from the Great Pyramid so far, which is too abnormal.

As soon as the Horus incident came out, this statement became more valuable.

Horus can make everyone faint, and even occupy the magpie's nest, there must be some equipment or tools.As long as these so-called artifacts can be found, the technological level of the United States can take this opportunity to take it to a higher level.

But this plan was firmly resisted by the Egyptian government.

Egypt is not very interested in figuring out the real secret behind the Great Pyramid.After all, the religions and mythology systems of the two sides are completely different.

If the existence of Horus is really confirmed, it may bring systematic religious shocks to Egypt and even the entire Arab world.

In addition to religious concerns, there are also interest considerations.

Cairo, and even Egypt, have a lot of people and little land, and their industries are not well developed.The main source of income, one is the Suez Canal, and the other is the tourism industry headed by the Great Pyramid.

The most important reason why tourists and scholars from all over the world come here for sightseeing year after year is not the glorious history of Egyptian culture, but the mystery of Egyptian culture.

Once the mystery is completely revealed and the sense of mystery is lost, the Great Pyramid is just a simple structure, simple shape, and a huge stone mountain.

Therefore, the Egyptian side can agree to the US side taking pictures of the pyramids, but firmly disagrees with destructive excavations.Not to mention this kind of destructive excavation, it is strictly forbidden to scrape a little powder from the wall.

Therefore, the two sides have been at a stalemate.

Walter hoped that Chen Quan could stay and use his name as a modern Einstein to endorse and put pressure on Egypt.

Although Wang Qing is not very interested in pyramid archaeology, he has great objections to coming to Beirut, Lebanon.

Lebanon has just been through a 15-year civil war.Although the war has subsided, it is still not peaceful, because of the genes of the civil war, domestic religious conflicts still exist, and external interference factors are also present.

In addition, the perennial civil war has also led to the proliferation of guns in Lebanon, and the pressure on public security is great.

"Let's go and see. In short, it's right to keep your spirits up. This place is no better than Egypt, so don't act alone."

Wang Qing instructed.

"understood."

Following the flow of people, Chen Quan and others quickly came to the luggage hall, waiting for the checked luggage.

Although Beirut has just returned to peace, it is located in an important location and the airport is already quite busy.There were even a few tour groups holding small flags in the luggage hall.

"Miss Anna, where is our regiment?"

An elderly Caucasian couple in plaid clothes who looked like tourists walked up to Chen Quan and his group.

"Anna? My name is not Anna! Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Qu Yanqiu was surprised.

"Miss Anna, what are you kidding? Oh, you have black hair. I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

The two Italian-looking elderly tourists turned around in disappointment and asked elsewhere.

"black hair"

Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu bowed their heads and meditated at the same time, and then looked up at each other at the same time.

Just when the two were hesitating, Eric, the new CIA member who joined the team, came back.

Walt needed to stay in Egypt to lead the destructive excavation of the pyramids, so it was just for James to bring a new guy over.

"Hi! I almost found the wrong place just now." Eric said.

"Oh?" James turned his head.

"Over there, yes, that's the female tour guide holding the flag. She looks and dresses very similar to Ms. Yanqiu, except for her long brown hair."

"is it?"

James shrugged, not paying attention. "Stop making excuses. Are you unable to walk when you see a beautiful woman?"

The proportion of beautiful women in Beirut is also the highest in the world. 50% of Beirut women can be classified as beautiful.So once in Beirut, the eyes of two people are not enough.

"I'm going to the toilet."

After Chen Quan gave Qu Yanqiu a wink, he followed Xiaoqi in the distance and chased after him.
