The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Less gossip, look at the digging point first. Not far away, just tens of meters away, the scene is not small.

After a shallow beam of sand, a huge excavation scene appeared in front of him, and Zhang Nan actually saw a large bulldozer on the side!

"This is archaeology?

Tomb Robber is not as exaggerated as you! "

I murmured in my heart, but this bulldozer did not work, otherwise it would make Zhang Nan more difficult to understand.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's hard to understand. What Zhang Nan is worried about will be pitted by William. If the bulldozer participates in the direct brutal cleanup, he will probably stuff Mr. Professor into the sand pile or leave with bricks.

Fortunately, it seems that the big guy is only involved in the early work of clearing the sand dunes, which seems to have been accomplished.

In front of the tomb, a large group of Egyptians were doing physical work. They excavated by hand, and then put the excavated sand and stone on a cart and light truck and transported it to one side, just to build a shallow beam of sand.

It feels a bit weird, automatically ignoring the nearby guards and members of the guided archaeological team, and modern equipment, there will be the illusion of returning to the site where the pyramid was built thousands of years ago.

Also, this society is still using Egyptian labor. When a major discovery is made, will it kill people?

Killing is just a boring thought, Zhang Nan is not so boring and brainless; let alone this is a military control zone, how about digging out the "second Tutankhamun tomb", he is here to hunt for strange things, not for Get rich.

How old is the algorithm, their tombs can still match the excitement of the Nazi treasures?

Without waiting for Professor William to give an introduction, Zhang Nan asked: "Don't worry about these Egyptians who are working now and poke all your discoveries out?"

"All the illiterate recruits from the slums live in the fenced barracks over there, and they can leave at least three months later.

Besides, the Egyptians nowadays are not ancient Egyptians for a long time. They will sell their souls for money. At least there will be no problems before the pharaoh’s main tomb is dug out..."

This professor is really not worried. Besides, the illiteracy rate in Egypt is more than 30%, and the proportion of adult men will be more than 20%, and the proportion of the poor is going up. Cairo, more than 40 kilometers away, is a big city, but there are enough slums over there to recruit cheap, uneducated labor.

Besides, the actual genetic composition of today's Egyptians is basically the descendants of ancient Arab immigrants, and their culture and ancestry have little to do with the ancient Egyptians.

Ancient Egypt was conquered by King Cambis II of Persia in 525 BC. At that time, the ancient Egyptians began to change their tastes, and in 333 BC they were enslaved by the Macedonians. After that, the Egyptians remained in the sphere of influence of Greece and Rome for a long time. Inside.

In 395, the Roman Empire collapsed and the Egyptians continued to be ruled by Byzantium. During this thousand years, the national structure of the ancient Egyptians changed.

Beginning in 640, Egypt was occupied by Arabs again, and then Arabization began. By the 12th century, Egypt had widely used Arabic and converted to **** religion.

They probably didn't even have the consciousness of digging into the grave.

William Brin is very clever, and the excavation of the unstolen flat-topped tomb has stopped: it is very common in Egyptian archaeological sites, and a small number of temporarily hired Egyptian laborers have seen it, usually sand, stone and fresco fragments. The discovery of a mummified coffin that is not so gorgeous is considered a major discovery.

For this kind of situation, those poor Egyptians don't take it seriously. The archaeological site in front of them feels like this.

As long as no treasure is found, these people who come for money will not care, and habit is natural. Even if they go back and talk to others, they will only mention to help dig some ruins.

Charlize Theron, standing next to Zhang Nan, looked at the hundreds of Egyptians working in shabby robes and tattered T-shirts, and asked, "These people are really reliable?"

Zhang Nan shook his head, "It's unreliable, the locals are all making money by unscrupulous means. Mr. William is very considerate, and stops working wherever he finds it, but Egypt here will become a wolf with only money in his eyes!

But the Arabs, the French and the British have been here for too long. They should know how to be honest at gunpoint, and at most they can tell the truth and can't eat you. "

I have known in my previous life that the locals of Egypt are unscrupulous in making money, and the unanimous evaluation of all tourists visiting Egypt in the world!

Don't talk about slaughter, it's scams and abductions!

If you want to ride a camel in front of the pyramids, even if you have negotiated the price with the owner of the camel in advance, after you finish the ride and think about it, you find that the camel is too high to come.

At this time, if you ask the owner of the camel to move you a camel's footstool, he will charge you extra money!

The locals in Egypt are often a group. When you buy something, you negotiate a good price with one of them, wait for you to pay the good money, bow your head and pack your wallet, and then look up to get the goods, only to find that the locals in front of you are all looking good. Almost-you can't recognize the person who collected your money, and those people all deny that they did collect the money in unison!

Do you want to find the police?

Note that the Egyptian police are unreliable!

The Egyptian police are all about money. Even if you ask them for directions, they will charge a fee. Who can keep the police from being with the local people who sell the goods. Everyone cheated on the money and shared the stolen goods?

Don't think of Egyptians as ancient Egyptians, they are not the same at all!

William's team has five or six people~www.readwn.com~ which will be instructing. In other words, supervising the Egyptian husband to clean up the yellow sand and gravel, Zhang Nan and his group walked to the burial tomb area that had been cleaned up.

There are basically no ground residues, but stones and weathered lime residues. Obviously, this is not only a cause of time, but to a greater extent, it should be related to the seriousness of people.

Man-made destruction is not just a tomb robbery, it should be the "demolition" level of destruction that makes the building components here almost invisible.

This piece of noble burial tombs has a large area, more than 100 meters in length and width, and the tomb that has not been stolen is in the northwest corner.

Because of the curious baby Charlie Theron, William Brin said as he walked: "The ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife. In the early days of the ancient kingdom, the afterlife was the exclusive treatment of the pharaoh. The only chance for ordinary people to obtain immortality was to the royal family. Allegiance.

So in that period, building one's own cemetery near the king's tomb was the pharaoh's greatest gift, even if it was just a tombstone nearby, it was a great blessing in his life.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus said that the ancient Egyptians: They were extremely religious in religion, surpassing any nation in the world.

As long as there is such a contiguous mastaba tomb in early ancient Egypt, there must be a pyramid beside it..."

As he said, William stopped, "Mr. Allen, this is it."

The professor looked at a piece of ground five or six meters ago, and Zhang Nan saw a row of mud bricks, which were slightly different from the ordinary ground around them.

Stepping forward, Zhang Nan saw that mud bricks had passed by, knocking off the blocks, and the thick wooden boards were basically cracked and cracked when the sand was mixed underneath.

Very well, this "Mastaba" has never been passive.

"Mastaba?"

Charlize Theron was puzzled.

"It's the flat-topped tomb."
