The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Seek Sawar because he is a local snake here and is familiar with the actual situation in Sudan. Moreover, this person has a little power in his hands, and he can act as an intermediary between the high-level Sudanese.

The final point: Saval is obviously poorer, loves money, and still gives someone who can do things seriously for himself with little benefit.

People soon went to the camp, and when he heard Zhang Nan's request for him, Savar said: "Find a place where I can send international faxes recently, let me think...

Don't go to Khartoum, one hundred kilometers north, to Atbara. The railway administration there can send international faxes, and I have acquaintances there. "

Atbara, this place is on the map, and it's a good city in Sudan.

There will be a population of seven to eighty thousand. I heard Sawar say that although the population there is not much, it is an important railway hub in Sudan, connecting Khartoum, Wadi Halfa and Port Sudan, and road traffic is also developed. There are air stations.

Because Atbara wants to send international trains and has the role of connecting with Port Sudan, the railway department has long opened international long-distance telephone and fax services.

Special note: The communication equipment is usable, not a broken product.

It is a good thing to be able to solve the troublesome problem for Mr. Allen, at least not in vain.

Wall Street financial giants ask you for help, will you help in vain?

There is no need for Sawar to go to the railway station seven or eight kilometers away to make a phone call. Zhang Nan directly asked him to contact Atbara's acquaintances by satellite phone, which settled the fax.

However, Zhang Nan was not wrong. There will be no other place in Sudan except Khartoum that can print color photos. The issue of faxing photos to Nongbosheng can only wait.

Not to blame for Sudan's lagging behind in photo printing, China is not much better now. This will be in my hometown in Yanxian County. The photo studio is able to take in the business of developing color photos, but it takes many days to get it: the film has to be mailed to Hangzhou for processing, and the county’s photo studios simply don’t have that kind of "advanced" equipment. .

Put the photo aside beforehand, and Zhang Nan rubbed the inscription and outline drawing of the Ding Nei with wax paper. Because I don’t know if the fax machine at the train station is a conventional model or a type that can be scanned, I simply rubbed a copy with white paper and pencil.

Saval went to the higher-level officials to ask for a half-day vacation, and drove to Atbara with Linman and Jin Wenbo.

Those Sudanese who are officials are still squatting in the tomb, hoping to open the huge coffin in the tomb later today, the slowest tomorrow.

I was arguing with William Brin and didn't care about Saval's temporary departure.

If all goes well, Zhang Nan will know the content of the inscription in more than two hours.

As for this meeting, just wait.

After talking with Guan Xingquan and Nong Bosheng, they went to the tomb to take a look.

William is speeding up the drawing of the tomb, planning to clean up the internal burial objects tomorrow, and gradually open the huge coffin the day after tomorrow.

Without the appearance of the bronze cauldron, Zhang Nan would have planned to leave Sudan in a day or two, but he would have to wait for a big man to come.

The day after tomorrow, the President of Sudan will come to the Pyramid Mausoleum, just to talk with him about investing in oil in Sudan and borrowing a copper tripod to exhibit in the United States.

I casually expressed my intention to invest in oil with Sudanese officials, hoping to talk about this issue with Mr. President in person. Then……

With the professional ethics of a good employee, Thomas went to Zhang Nan after returning to the camp.

"Boss, this... now doesn't seem to be a good time to invest in the oil industry, especially in Sudan."

"Thomas, I'm sorry, I forgot to breathe with everyone just now. That's an excuse."

He pointed to the bronze tripod on a table, "I want to take it to America temporarily."

Thomas was puzzled, but still said: "Boss, you don't have to be embarrassed. It's just..."

Yes, Zhang Nan is the boss. To make this kind of decision, there is no need to say hello to the people below. This decision is not the "joint force" business that Thomas is directly responsible for.

Thomas said half of what he said and didn't say anything in the second half, but Zhang Nan could understand: playing a president as a monkey for a cultural relic, even if he is a president of an influential country, this seems to be a thankless move and a bit of a loss of status.

"Thomas, I understand your good intentions, but it doesn't matter if the fake becomes real. It doesn't matter if you spend some money to enclose the land and get a mining right for decades. Anyway, the oil won't run out of the land.

Now that the boss said, Thomas was silent.

Just like Zhang Nan said, oil can't run away in the ground, and it seems that there is no loss if you invest a small amount of money to fool the president.

Thomas still thought wrong, Zhang Nan really didn't take the Sudanese president seriously.

An African president who is about to be ousted from office will be nothing a few months later. Whether he can hold on to his life is still unknown.

I will not invest any more money on the current Sudanese government. Even if I want to stock up on oil in the southern Sudan enclosure, I will have to wait for this year after the Sudanese military coup.

Nearly three hours later, the fax reached the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall for about half an hour: After receiving a call from Jin Wenbo, Zhang Nan called Nong Bosheng again.

"...So the Ding is the 39th year of King Chu Wu, which was cast in 702 BC, but it was a gift to Pakistan to commemorate the destruction of the state by the coalition forces of the two countries."

"It's the country, the first one."

Nong Bosheng’s voice came over the phone, correcting Zhang Nan’s literal misunderstanding.

"You Country?"

I haven't heard of it, but I don't care about this problem for the time being.

Pakistan Zhang Nan knows that in the Spring and Autumn Period, it can be regarded as a big country and a powerful country in the southwest region. Of course, it is natural to be considered by the Central Plains countries as neighboring barbarians.

It is said that it was still one of the 71 vassal states entrusted in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. In fact, the number of exterminations in the Spring and Autumn Period far exceeded this number.

The history books of later generations record that Ba Shi was named a son country at the beginning, and the leader was the clan surnamed Ji and the viscount, so it was called Ba Zi country, usually referred to as Ba country.

The territory of Ba country is roughly in the entire mountain city, from the north to the upper reaches of the Han River in southern Shaanxi, to the north edge of Daba Mountain, to Xiangyang in the east, and the land area expanded in the spring and autumn of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The inscription on the bronze tripod recorded a historical event, and a similar record can be found in history books: In the 38th year of King Chu Wu, in 703 BC, the Kingdom of Pakistan hoped to have good relations with the Kingdom of Deng through the Kingdom of Chu.

The Chu government sent the doctor Dao Shuo to bring Pakistan’s envoy Hanbok to Deng Guo. As a result, he was attacked by the people in the southern part of Deng. The property was looted and Dao Shuo and others were killed.

This was not bad, the king of Chu Wu was furious when he heard the news, and sent general Dou Lian to lead the Chu and Pakistan coalition forces to attack the country.

However, due to the fact that Lu and Deng are relatives of each other, the original goal of Deng who wanted to establish a good relationship has sent Yang niece and Xin niece to lead the army to assist the country. The four countries are two-by-two alliances, and the famous "Chuba and The Battle of Deng".

After three battles, the Chuba coalition forces fought back and forth, defeating the Deng State and annihilating the Lu State.

This incident was recorded in the first half of the copper tripod, to the effect that last year, in the 38th year of King Wu of Chu State, our Chu State and Pakistan State Allied Forces defeated Deng Jun...

The second half is the nonsense that Chu and Ba Guoyong are allies, and it also talks about casting a complete set of rituals and gifting to Pakistan.

There is more than one tripod, obviously there are other objects.

"Can you still give it away?"

Zhang Nan asked.

Ding Ding Ding Ding, this thing can be given as a gift?

"It's not enough if Pakistan returns a set."

Nong Bosheng answered more simply, but he didn't say that there was no evidence of unearthed cultural relics.

Moreover, a bigger question has also emerged, and it is still a question that may never be answered: how did this tripod from Pakistan in southwest China to Kush in North Africa in the next two hundred years!

Zhang Nan was a little tangled in his heart, but Nong Bosheng could understand and see through.

"No one can fully understand what happened two thousand and six hundred years ago, let alone Pakistan, which has very few historical records, and the two to three hundred years of exchanges between the East and the West that have not been recorded at all.

I said Xiao Zhang, don’t think too much about things that you don’t understand, or else you’ll be too busy thinking about yourself as an academic authority. In fact, there is 1 point of evidence, and the remaining 99 can be supplemented by guessing. Rogue experts...not guilty. "

The history of China in BC is understood by the unearthed inscriptions and the pitiful bamboo slip records, plus a few history books.

Some important events can be known, but more are fragments of history, too long.

Even many countries that existed at the time were only known after a certain tomb was unearthed, not to mention the whereabouts of a bronze tripod owned by Pakistan, which is almost surrounded by powerful neighbors.

No one has deciphered the characters of the Ba country, and the country has been at war since the country was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty until it was captured by the Qin country in 316 BC.

There is the Kingdom of Qin to the north and the Kingdom of Shu to the west, and the relationship with Chu is always good and bad. It is said that the number of capital relocations is enough to count slowly with two hands. God knows how this bronze tripod left the land of Bashu in China.

How the Tongding tripod arrived in North Africa, this may be an eternal mystery!

After talking about the copper tripod, Zhang Nan asked Nong Bosheng if he knew anyone who could recognize ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

As a result, the curator said: "I understand Chinese hieroglyphs, and I can help you find a little understanding of ancient Greek. Ancient Egypt, haha..."

Okay, Zhang Nan was teased by the curator.

Zhang Nan can only accompany him, hehe... just to ask, it seems that he can only go to the United States to find someone to open the confession.

After talking about this, Chen Hao also did a toxicity test for Tongding, which was safe.

Put things at the boss, Zhang Nan doesn't care about putting the copper tripod in the RV, but so as not to frighten Ajani, let Guan Xingquan, who has no taboos, put it away.

It was the evening event again, and I continued to go fishing, which is also a rare pleasure in this desert.

...

Three days later, Zhang Nan had negotiated with the President of Sudan about temporarily borrowing the copper tripod to study for half a year, and the discovery of the Sudan pyramid by the copper tripod during the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period has also been made public.

Not only did it cause a sensation in the archaeological and historian circles of the East and the West, it was even broadcast in the national news of many countries.

On the fourth and fifth days, the coffin was opened to see the mummy.

Three-layer coffin, the innermost layer is a human-shaped coffin in ancient Egyptian style---gold!

The team of the Sudanese and William Brin was ecstatic, and Zhang Nan valued a gold book found in a cabinet inside the tomb, which recorded the origin of some of the burial objects in the tomb.

It doesn't matter if you can't read hieroglyphs, William recognized.

This is more like a notebook boasting of the great achievements of King Seti: a total of 22 burial objects in the tomb were snatched from ancient Egypt, including the bronze tripod.

When explaining the contents of the golden book for Zhang Nan, William made it very clear: an exquisite exotic copper jar, the treasure of the pharaoh prince, comes from Eastern Assyria.

Then, no more!

The origin of this bronze cauldron ends here, and this is the most detailed record among the 22 precious trophies.

At this point, the clue was broken, and the king's tomb was dug. The second pyramid, William, was going to dig again later. The unearthed items in the tomb of Seti were enough for him and his team to organize for a few months.

Without Zhang Nan's sponsorship, King Seti’s pyramid might not have been dug in more than two decades, and the bronze tripod would not reappear.

Zhang Nan intends to leave. If he is interested, he will come again. It is even more likely that he will not come to Sudan again for more than ten or twenty years!

Because of the coup.

Within these two or three days, the mausoleum became very lively, and many journalists from all over the western world and even neighboring Egypt came.

Adjani now only dared to do activities in the camp, or go fishing in the car, and she still had to wear a hat and sunglasses every time.

The convoy returned to Khartoum. The motorhome sent a driver to the north and took a Sudanese foreign agent to Port Sudan~www.readwn.com~ from there on a cargo ship to the United States.

When it was delivered in a hurry and at no cost, I rented a C5 Galaxy transport plane because the C141 cargo compartment was not high enough to fit it.

It does not have to be so extravagant to send back to the United States, just by normal shipping. This is because this RV is rare and expensive in the world. If it is an ordinary RV, it can be given directly to the Sudanese or given to William to use it.

From Khartoum, take her own private jet to Paris, and first send Adjani back.

As for his own vehicles, it will take a few days before they will be shipped back to the United States: deliberately, Zhang Nan also intends to stop by to the United Kingdom.

Not long in the UK, Zhang Nan must return to New York before the birth of his child with Nicole.

Just stay in Paris for one night, still staying in the hotel.

"Lisa, have you ever thought about changing houses?"

Zhang Nan is not stingy with her woman.

"No, it's pretty good now."

Adjani seemed to smile, but she knew what she was thinking in her heart.

She is not short of money, at least richer than the average French, and always likes to be independent, not wanting to live on men.

Zhang Nan also knows what kind of person Adjani is, and will not give her millions as pocket money. If she does that, she might turn her face against you!

She doesn't value diamonds and jewels. She really doesn't know what she can give this woman.

After much deliberation, I finally thought of the same.

"How about getting you a golden man?"

Adjani smiled and said, "I don't care about American things, and I guess they won't be able to catch up next year."

"Then the next year, you have had several Caesars awards, and getting a little golden man is not easy to catch."
