Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 450 The tip of the iceberg

In fact, just by looking at the ingredients, you can know what the taste of this dish is. It is very good to eat such a good pasta in Egypt. It seems that Egyptian food is not as embarrassing as I imagined.

After dinner, return along the same road.

After returning to the hotel and taking a shower, Ye Kai lay on the bed before eight o'clock.

It is definitely not easy to sleep on the bed on the plane, and the room in this hotel is also very comfortable. Ye Kai has not stayed in a high-end hotel for a long time, and he still misses the feeling of living in a hotel.

But one night in such a hotel is enough to rent an apartment for a month.

The consumption in Egypt is actually not bad. Ye Kai went out for a stroll and found that it is similar to the second-tier cities in China. If one eats well, it may cost 40-100 Egyptian coins, which is about 20-50 Huaxia coins.

But if you want to eat something cheap, you can eat it for 10-30 Egyptian pounds.

There are many poor people in Cairo, which is different from the Nordic countries. You can’t even find a beggar on the streets of Nordic countries. The excellent welfare system allows you to live a good life without going to work, and playing games at home every day.

Therefore, the consumption in Northern Europe is high. If the consumption in Cairo is the same as that in Europe, too many poor people can only starve to death.

This sleep lasted until seven o'clock the next morning. Because he slept for too long, Ye Kai was exhausted when he got up, and even wanted to lie down and sleep for a while.

After washing my face and feeling refreshed, I took the elevator to the restaurant for breakfast.

There are quite a few people in the hotel, and the languages ​​of many countries can be heard on the restaurant floor, but most of them are of high quality and there is no loud noise, and no tour groups are seen.

If the tour group can stay in such a hotel, then Ye Kai also wants to participate.

Breakfast is an unlimited buffet. Ye Kai is happiest when he can see fruits here. He first picked up a red apple before looking for other dishes.

Fried bananas, carrots, something like luncheon meat, salt-baked tomatoes, some kind of rice mixed with fat.

The taste of these things is... indescribable.

Among them, salt-baked tomato sounds like a dark dish, but compared to other things, it is a kind of food that saves Ye Kai’s life. After eating two thin slices of tomato, Ye Kai can only stare at the food in a daze.

Sighing, Ye Kai recorded a circle of friends.

First, he patted the dishes on the table, and then said by himself:

"I was wrong, I thought that if I could eat stinky tofu, snail noodles, or even durian, I would not be afraid of any kind of 'food', but I was really wrong... You see, this is a five-star food in Egypt Breakfast at the hotel."

However, after recording the video, I still have to endure the situation of being hungry, and I really can't eat these things.

You can't imagine the taste just by looking at it, and you can only find it when you eat it... It turns out that the Egyptians ate this kind of thing, vomit!
Finally, an Egyptian wearing a white robe showed Ye Kai a bright way, and recommended a kind of noodle cake called 'Egyptian food', which was dry and tasteless, but he managed to eat it in his stomach.

The girl at the front desk downstairs is right, it really is something from Egypt...

Forget it, ready to set off to see the pyramids.

The road conditions in Cairo have always been poor, but the road to the pyramids was well repaired. I was playing with my mobile phone and chatting with my friends all the way. After the car stopped, I realized that there was a piece of yellow sand around me, and a few camels appeared beside me.

Looking up, the pyramid is close in sight.

There are three big ones, several small ones, and the Sphinx statue with a human face and a sphinx, all of which are pure brown and yellow, with no extra colors except human clothes.

Only the sun shines down, outlining the rhythm of intertwined light and dark layers in this brown-yellow area.

Get off the bus, buy tickets and walk up to the pyramids.

The bricks of the pyramid are not the kind of small bricks used to build houses, but large square bricks, piled up layer by layer, becoming a symbol of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago or even tens of thousands of years ago.

This is a miracle.

Standing in front of the largest Khufu Pyramid, Ye Kai felt no worse than when he saw the Great Wall. These are real miracles in human history, and miracles transcend the environment.

At this moment, Ye Kai even forgot what Cairo looks like, and what the traffic and food here look like.

No matter how backward Cairo is, the pyramids are just the pyramids, which makes people forget everything, Cairo, the desert, the country, and the race. They only feel that time and space are in these pyramids.

After taking a few steps back, an Egyptian man leading a camel came over and said in English, "Hi, do you want to take pictures while riding a camel? No money is required."

Ye Kai smiled and asked, "You don't need money to take pictures, but you need money to ride a camel?"

The smiling face of the man froze for a moment, then he nodded naturally: "Yes, it only costs five dollars to ride a camel,"

"Thank you very much, but I don't need to..."

Of course Ye Kai wanted to ride a camel, but not to take pictures on a camel. After arriving in Cairo, Ye Kai wanted to go to the desert to have a look. It might cost less than five dollars to ride a camel in the desert.

And it can be ridden and walked, not just for taking pictures.

However, the foreign attractions are no different from those in China. As long as they can make money, there will be such hawkers everywhere. People who travel just need to be a little more careful, or they will not be fooled if they are deceived more times.

This kind of operation is mainly to deceive Europeans and Americans. Who in our country does not know this kind of routine?
In fact, to be honest, the Egyptian pyramid is not as good as any domestic scenic spot in terms of ornamental value. It is just a very tall mound, and the Sphinx is also a very simple stone carving.

But why did Ye Kai feel shocked?Mainly because of the thought of the construction of the pyramids.

Archaeologists have concluded that the pyramid was built more than 700 years ago. Based on simple labor calculations, it would take 30 craftsmen to build the Khufu Pyramid alone for [-] years.

But this is only a stupid way, without considering a series of insurmountable problems.

For example, what tools are used to transport these huge stones?How to move up there?How much national power is needed to support the expenditure of 30 craftsmen for [-] years?And how much population base does such a national strength need to pave the way?
So think about it, what was the total population of Egypt 5000 years ago?What is the total population of the earth?
Thinking about it in this way, the pyramid is really very mysterious. Unlike Huaxia's inheritance, he can know the meaning of pictographs through the evolution of characters.

The ancient Egyptian texts are still not accurately understood.

Originally, he could enter the inside of the pyramid, but Ye Kai heard from the tour guide that all the contents inside had been stolen by tomb robbers, and the inside was just an empty tomb, so he lost interest in going in.

Standing in front of the pyramid, Ye Kai felt that apart from the shock, there was also a mystery that he knew nothing about.

The history of mankind is a very solemn and huge topic, and it is far from being able to be interpreted at will. Among them, the civilization of ancient Egypt is the most questionable.

Even though technology is so advanced now, the history that has been really researched is only the tip of the iceberg.
