The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Throughout the entire dynasty history of ancient Egypt, their weapons are very simple. People living on both sides of the Nile seem to lack the enthusiasm for developing new weapons at all. This phenomenon still exists even in the heyday of the Egyptian kingdom.

As a result, after the Ancient Kingdom era, the ancient Egyptian army often caught the blind when it encountered the more sharply equipped West Asian nations: the Hexos, who had more advanced equipment, arms and tactics, invaded Egypt and killed the ancient Egypt with almost no effort. Human resistance established an alien dynasty.

It was not until the ancient Egyptians learned the techniques of the Heksos that they finally got rid of the rule of the Heksos through war.

Unfortunately, afterwards, the ancient Egyptians still did not like to develop and update their own equipment. As a result, they would be ruled by aliens again after a few hundred years...

The offensive weapons and equipment are single, and the protective equipment is even more backward. Until the Middle Kingdom period, the ancient Egyptian army was not equipped with any armor.

It is also because the times are too early, this beautiful appearance, less equipment in line with the aesthetics of later generations, almost all of the equipment in the arsenal belongs to the category of "primitive and rough", this will definitely find such a beautiful gold dagger. Count the luck!

Holding the handle in his left hand, took off the glove of his right hand, and flicked the golden blade of the dagger with his fingers.

This is Zhang Nan's habit, and he will have this action when he encounters a cold weapon.

What is so good about gold?

I feel that the center of gravity of this dagger seems very reasonable, which means that the blade of the dagger may have some problems: if the blade is pure gold, judging from the shape of this dagger, the center of gravity must move forward!

It looks like pure gold, but everyone knows that pure gold is too soft. Changing Zhang Nan to be a pharaoh will not be boring enough to get a pure gold dagger that is not to be used as a decoration.

Useless and too heavy.

Play and listen to the sound. If it is crisp, it means that the material is good and the hardness is high: If it is an ordinary modern knife, take a key and gently tap the back of the knife, and the test effect will be more obvious.

As a result, this bullet also popped up a question.

The texture of the metal is very strong, it is not the sound of gold at all, it is not even copper or bronze, it should be steel!

The dagger blade leaned forward to look carefully: still gold.

I admired the sentence: "Interesting, it's not gilt, the ancient Egyptian gold technology has no connection points, high!"

William Brin on one side heard the sound and knew that Zhang Nan had gotten a treasure: it was a gold-covered steel dagger, or it was 4600 years ago!

But William is not jealous, this is the tomb of the pharaoh, in his eyes there are treasures everywhere!

The steel dagger 46 centuries ago, it's amazing! There was no iron ore in ancient Egypt. Even if there was iron ore in the ancient dynasty, it would not be smelted. It could only be meteorite.

Well, Zhang Nan, a meteorite dagger more than 3,000 years ago, already has it, and it's all a great treasure. This time I got another piece from 4600 years ago, probably this will be the earliest iron weapon in the world!

The craftsmanship is also superb. If you look closely at the joint part of the blade and the dagger handle, there are several small hieroglyphs. Without William's translation, Zhang Nan already remembers that this is the king's name of Snefru.

Did not say, take this dagger away.

Leave it to yourself, it will not be made public for at least 20 or 30 years, the world will not know its existence, but Zhang Nan doesn't care.

Just like it yourself, we are not a saint, do other people know that it’s a matter of their own!

Without disassembling the damaged box, otherwise it would be difficult to restore it to the original state, so he squatted down to get a glare flashlight, and looked inside through the gap left by the dagger.

There seemed to be no more weapons inside, but two stick-like objects were seen.

arms?

"William, come and see what is here?"

When the professor heard it, he squatted down and looked at it. It took a long time before he said: "It seems to be a scepter, there is more than one."

There are many types of scepters in ancient Egypt, but it seems that except for a scepter with a slurred name that can be used by gods and pharaohs, the other varieties of pharaohs are relatively short.

As soon as William finished speaking, he simply asked Zhang Nan: "Do you want to take it apart?"

He glanced at him, "Are you finishing up?"

"no problem."

In the end, the traces of the demolition should not be too obvious, otherwise, if the people from the Egyptian Ministry of Culture come to see the flaws in the future, everyone will not look good.

Now that the archaeologist William Brin has a clear heart, let's dismantle it.

As soon as I opened it, I saw it clearly: here is a set of hooked Heka scepter and flail scepter, and a few accessories should also represent the authority of the pharaoh.

The hook was originally a tool of the shepherd; the flail was originally an agricultural tool, and farmers used it to thresh grain. This is occasionally seen in some rural areas of China.

Flail and Hook Heka Scepter are generally used in pairs. "Heka" means "ruler" in ancient Egyptian symbols and symbolizes the king's ruling power. It is often used by the pharaohs. The Pluto in ancient Egyptian mythology is also used. use.

The use of hooks and flail together was often found on the mummy coffin of the deceased pharaoh. Even though there are not many discoveries of real objects, there are many such murals and reliefs, which means that the supreme ruler also enjoys authority in the underworld.

Of course, when Pharaoh was alive, he would only take one of them: one in each hand to go shopping or meetings?

That's a silly fork!

Even if you have a soft spot for the scepter, you must be free to do other things, otherwise even the Pharaoh will feel uncomfortable.

...

The two kinds of scepters in the broken box are covered with gold in sections, filled with paint sections, and the inside is estimated to be wood.

It's pretty, it's tall at a glance.

You're welcome, take it!

Pharaoh Snefru will not be impaired by Zhang Nan’s taking these two scepters: According to general understanding, the mummy of the sarcophagus should also have a set in his hand. Modern Egyptian archaeologists do not. Will be disappointed.

Well, Snefru is about to be pulled out of the sarcophagus, so don't think about any majesty: archaeology, things are not let go, the dead have to study!

Fortunately, the internal organs of the mummy are basically empty, otherwise they will not be able to escape the fate of being dissected, and finally they will be seen in the showcase!

As for this scepter, it is said that the pharaohs will prepare a lot of sets: it is not the marshal scepter of the Third Reich, and it is sometimes used by the marshals.

Pharaoh's scepter, one set is not enough, so you have to prepare a few more. Zhang Nan took a set, there must be a rare set in the sarcophagus that can be placed in the museum.

...

The cultural relics in the tomb were at least several thousand pieces in size, but most of them were Ming artifacts. Zhang Nan was not interested, and only looked for "pure funerary objects" with his eyes.

There are many large and small statues, some of which are the image of Snefrew, but most of them are not: there are a lot of wooden statues about forty centimeters high in the corner, and at least one or two hundred are swaying around. Those should be next to the pharaoh. The servant's incarnation dolls are also dressed in costumes in the underworld.

A wooden, brown statue of a pharaoh is about one meter tall, with a pharaoh's crown on its head.

Said it is a crown, in fact, it is more like a "king circle", the workmanship is very fine, and I look a little interested.

It's a pity that Zhang Nan stepped forward and wiped the side of his crown slightly, dispelling the idea of ​​taking it away.

The forehead of the statue is all wearing a seal. Unless the statue is also removed, how can it be concealed?

Forget it, we are not a tomb thief who scrapes the ground this time.

On the side of the statue of the pharaoh was a statue of a woman lying diagonally. At first, Zhang Nan thought it would be a statue of a god: the statue of the pharaoh often stood with the god.

It turned out not. William said that this was the queen of Pharaoh.

Looking at it, there was no crown on the queen statue, nor on the ground, but there was a dropped ring on the broken finger.

Lapis lazuli scarab, plus a few kinds of gold rings decorated with gemstones that Zhang Nan can't see at a glance, fine workmanship: aside from the disgusting and terrifying scarab plot in "The Mummy", the craftsmanship of this ring is placed in modern cities. Yes, I can take a look!

The time to make it was 4600 years ago!

He picked it up, handed it to Lin Ming, and packed it in a small airtight plastic bag.

Just turn around and look at the divided jewelry box again. I flipped through it and selected a few small **** and a few rings. Then I stopped: Snefrew won’t have any complaints, at least it’s still in the box. There are thirty or fifty.

Any opinions are useless, they will be dragged out of the coffin for exhibition, and there is still a fart opinion.

Regardless of your identity when you were alive, after these thousand years, all are cultural relics with historical research value; if you have research value, you are lucky, at least you can continue to stay in the showcase for dozens of hundreds of years. Value", ha ha...

Throwing away the garbage, or as it was in the late 19th century, the mummies were directly burned as train fuel.

I chose a golden plate with a diameter of more than forty centimeters and a thickness of about seven or eight millimeters, with a palace pattern carved on the front, and I planned to leave.

Yes, Zhang Nan had already taken what he needed, and had taken pictures in the tomb for the first time in two lifetimes, so he left.

There are no less than three to five thousand cultural relics in the tomb, but Zhang Nan only needs three scepters, a dagger, a few pieces of jewelry, and a plate.

Don't be greedy, because you can't make it, besides, the most important thing is that he doesn't like ancient Egyptian Ming artifacts.

Climb out of the passage from the ladder, through the false tomb, and then out of the pyramid from the passage.

Back at the barracks, the Pharaoh's belongings and the tomahawk and bow of Ihadu were sealed and packed.

I didn't do anything else, and took a bath immediately. People who have been in the pyramid, including Charlie and the bodyguards, all bathed, and all the clothes were burned outside.

Not for sterilization, and no bacteria, in order to get rid of bad luck.

No one opposed Zhang Nan's proposal.

After a casual snack, he told William Brin: "Tomorrow I will leave Egypt, and Sanchez will leave the construction site and travel to Cairo.

But I will leave you with a small team of security personnel, guest appearances of ordinary staff, you are almost ready, they will leave, and will prepare a way for you to bring some small things."

What does it mean to be almost the same? To put it bluntly, when you finish the election, my people should go, and then let the Egyptians come in, so we won't deal with the Egyptians.

Let's not be famous, just a sponsor. The big name is yours, but don't cause trouble to Lao Tzu!

In fact, William can only take away small objects: anything larger than the tunnel hole drilled on the boulder can't be taken away, unless he has a nerve to smash the things in the tomb!

This is already a very good arrangement, hello and me, hello everyone, Mr. Professor can't think of a better choice.

...

I left early the next morning because my private jet was at Cairo International Airport. I did not take the harvest with me this time, but left it to the contractor to take it out of Egypt through a special route.

It is very strange that as long as the US security contractors are within the scope of the agreement between the two countries, they can already be fully armed and carry automatic weapons through the security check. However, because of diplomatic immunity, Zhang Nan walks through the diplomatic channel.

You can’t put all the contraband in your luggage and leave the international airport freely, and the contractors will help you deal with the follow-up problems.

...

Back in New York on the 22nd, Zhang Nan met Alyosha in the manor, and her personal bodyguard had returned to New York for three days.

As for the box...

It has been shipped to New York last night.

It only took less than half an hour to come back, and a short meeting composed of core personnel was held in the underground warehouse of the manor.

It didn't take long, it was just a few hours: the things have been transported to the original 40 Wall Street building, which was renamed "Star Building".

A small team of construction workers from Gambia built a safe vault on the 8th floor of the building, which has now been completed and has now returned to Gambia.

It's a pity that those people are already dead, because of a fire!

Thomas said that there was no pressure on this matter. The person died in Gambia. After that group of people went and took on a busy business, the gas leaked...

It's pretty miserable anyway.

Regardless of going up and pitying the workers, Zhang Nan planned to check his box.

This is no problem. Going to the Star Building alone will not cause anyone's suspicion~www.readwn.com~ because it is my own industry.

Besides, these Chinese people seem to like to invest in real estate. It is only natural to inspect the seven or eighty-eight new buildings that have been renovated.

The only problem is: instead of going today, just coming back from Egypt, Zhang Nan is not an American soldier preparing to fight, so how can he rush around in a hurry.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, without concealing it, the black convoy that was a little famous in New York drove out of the manor and headed to Wall Street in Midtown Manhattan.

New York is still as prosperous as before. Manhattan's streets are still as narrow as before. It is invisible in the afternoon sun. The houses on both sides are too high and too dense.

Everything is normal. What's abnormal is that there are more small 500-ton nuclear bombs that can be detonated at any time in the core part of the world's financial center!

The buildings are being renovated everywhere. Such buildings usually require middle and high-rise floors to be rented at a good price, because there will be good visibility and lighting.

Of course, the bottom three and five floors are also good. Even if many rooms don’t get sunlight all year round, it is good to do some service industry establishments besides the lobby: The Star Building is remodeled as an office building, and restaurants can be opened below the 7th floor. The first type of service industry is not allowed on the 66th floor above.

As for the ten or so floors, it's really embarrassing, you can't rent a good price.

What to do then?

"United Forces" simply set up an office there, wrapping up the 7, 8, and 9 floors: a "dining room" was built on the seventh floor, and there were also some warehouses.

The 8th floor is temporarily used as a security layer, and there are some offices.

As for the first renovation of the ninth floor, some security services near New York will be handled here.
