I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Of course, some customs of ancient Egypt are still passed down, and Egypt does not actually speak pure Arabic, but a combination of some ancient Egyptian vocabulary and Arabic.

It may be possible to say that there were gaps in civilization, but it cannot be said that ancient Egypt has nothing to do with current Egypt.

How the Pyramid was built, even though there are different opinions now, there is actually no conclusion, so it has always been an unsolved mystery of mankind.

Because of this, many false historical statements are rampant on the Internet. Before Xia Ya learned about these things on the Internet, she really didn't think anyone would believe them.

But I didn’t expect that not only did some people believe it, but there were quite a few of them.

Among them, the most believed thing, and the most outrageous one, is that the pyramids were actually built by Napoleon when he first came to Egypt.

These pseudo-historians may not know that the famous banker lord of the Medici family only built several "small villas" in Italy and invited several "art celebrities" to paint for him Soft decoration for photos will go bankrupt.

In that era, in order to forge the pyramids, Napoleon might have to first form a European Central Bank, and also have to win the Opium War to gain the Qing's customs sovereignty.

In this case, Napoleon could hire more people and pay more expedited fees. In this way, it was possible for him to complete the glorious mission of building the pyramids in Egypt before being swept out of France.

After all, pseudo-historians may not know that Napoleon was emperor for only a few years. The first time he proclaimed himself emperor did not last for ten years, and the second restoration lasted for three months.

Moreover, they spent a lot of money and effort just to build a bunch of useless pyramids and build momentum for this then unknown Egyptian civilization. The Egyptians probably had to kowtow to Napoleon.

The reason why he takes the blame is probably because Rosetta was dug out by Napoleon's men. This guy also brought home many "little pointed hats" of obelisks and pyramids, so he is a master of figurines.

In this era, Napoleon had not yet appeared, and Egypt was still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Xia had already learned about the Ottoman Empire before coming here. In short, the specific historical process was similar to that of another world.

The influence of the Ottomans on Egypt is very subtle. Their number has never been large. There are only about 1 Ottomans in Egypt, accounting for a small part of the total population of Egypt.

However, the Ottomans had a profound impact on Egypt in terms of habits, clothing, and lifestyle.

Many Turkish words entered the Egyptian spoken system. Despite their arrogance and high status, the Ottoman Turks were not viewed as an occupying foreign force but as a fundamental part of Egyptian society.

The Ottomans created a deep-rooted hierarchical concept in Egypt. The majority of Egyptians were called Fellah (peasants), and the rulers were called pashas and beys.

The war in Europe obviously also affected here, when the Ottoman Empire was attracted by Beichen.

The Mamluks, who ruled Egypt under the previous dynasty, attempted to make a comeback, drive away the Ottoman Turkish governor, restore the Mamluk dynasty, and once again enter the stage of Egyptian history.

The metaphor used by this group of people is the Tiandihui that fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but the difference is that this "Qing" is much weaker.

Therefore, Egypt at this moment can be said to be in a state of war and chaos, and the people are in dire straits.

These armed conflicts severely damaged the Egyptian economy, political unrest was accompanied by excessive flooding of the Nile River, and plague also had a devastating impact on the Egyptian population.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused the situation in Egypt to deteriorate rapidly in these years.

Char didn't rush to find anything, but asked Calcifer to stop under a pyramid, and then asked him to open the magic barrier to block the hot temperature outside.

Of course, for Char, temperature is nothing, but this is a desert. If the magic barrier is not turned on, the grass will be covered with yellow sand overnight.

Xia Ya sat silently on the armchair, quietly looking at the desert in the distance, but his eyes flashed with a faint light, as if containing the stars of the universe.

The whole world is revealed in his clairvoyant eyes. He is like a god living above the nine heavens. The whole world is placed in front of him like a globe.

His eyes were focused on Egypt, looking through the rocks outside the pyramid to see the scenes inside, searching one after another.

There are quite a lot of funerary objects in the pyramids, but there are still many pyramids and small cemeteries that have been stolen.

Although modern research on the pyramids began with data surveys conducted after Napoleon invaded Egypt.

But before that, Europeans had actually begun large-scale tomb robbing activities in Egypt.

Their main purpose at that time was to dig up mummies to use as tonic.

Yes, it is a tonic, the kind that is ground into powder and eaten. It is even sold out.

Egypt has been making mummies for more than 2,000 years, and there are at least millions of mummies buried underground. It is really unexpected that Europeans bought them and sold them out.

In the Middle Ages, a Persian medical scientist Ibn Sina. He said that eating mumia can cure all kinds of diseases, including abscesses, rashes, fractures, concussions, and paralysis, and it can also detoxify.

And mumia means asphalt.

However, the output of natural asphalt is very low, and it is difficult to supply it on the market.

In the seventh century BC, the Arabs came to Egypt and became very interested in these mummies that would not decay.

They carefully untied the bandages tightly wrapped around the body and found a layer of black paste-like substance inside. They thought the mummy was made of asphalt, so they called the mummy "asphalt".

"Mumia" is the etymology of the modern English word "mummy"

When European businessmen heard that mummies were asphalt, they felt they had discovered a business opportunity and quickly purchased large quantities from Arabs at low prices. Then they returned to Europe and promoted the miraculous effects of mummies through various channels.

Under the influence of a large amount of advertising, Europeans began to flock to this magical medicine that can get rid of all kinds of diseases.

Jerome, a German medical scientist in the 15th century, stated in his book that mummies can treat heavy bleeding, dislocations and fractures.

Italian medical books also record that after mummies are ground into powder and boiled with pomegranate flowers, beeswax, etc. to make a paste, ulcers, abscesses and various tumors can be treated.

If this paste is applied to the surface of the skin, it can also treat insect bites and relieve joint pain and bone hyperplasia.

Even the famous physicist Boyle and the British philosopher Bacon who said "knowledge is power" firmly believed in this and strongly praised it.

For a time, mummies became a miracle drug sold at high prices in major pharmacies in Europe. Princes and nobles rushed to buy them, taking pride in the number of mummies they owned.

In addition to calling their relatives and friends to appreciate them, they also grind them into powder, mix them into coffee and tea, and take them to strengthen their health.

King Francis of France even carried mummies ground into powder in his purse for emergencies.

The Egyptians originally wanted the mummies whose bodies would never deteriorate, but they were eaten one by one by the Europeans.

As time went by, mummies that were not mass-produced in the first place began to be in short supply.

Those businessmen who wanted to continue to make a fortune from it began to dig up cemeteries in the Middle East, dig out all the mummies buried in them, and sell them at high prices.

Later, the merchants who really couldn't find the source of goods turned their attention to the unclaimed corpses on the roadside, asked people to imitate them into mummies, and then sold them at high prices to the princes and nobles who had money and needs. .

This craze for eating corpses has even spread outwards, and those at the bottom who cannot afford mummies have shifted their targets to the rest of the dead.

They would gather at the gallows and swarm the prisoners after they were executed, trying to get a cup of fresh human blood. They even studied how people who died in different ways had different medicinal values.

Many people think that Chinese medicine's use of shape to complement shape is outrageous, but in fact Europeans are more superstitious about this thing.

Even as late as the beginning of the 20th century, mummies were still on the medical catalog in Germany.

Therefore, if we count from the 12th century to the 20th century, the craze for eating corpses in Europe has lasted for years.

Europeans pride themselves on being the source of civilization and ridicule others for eating everything and being barbaric and bloody.

But to be classic, it has to be the traditional cuisine of this old Europe.

But having said that, the Egyptians’ awareness of cultural relic protection is quite good.

During the first industrial revolution, the Egyptians used mummies found during railway construction to burn boilers. It was truly a act of filial piety that touched the heavens.

Char's eyes continued to search for these goals.

As an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, this land has countless cemeteries, large and small.

If you don't have clairvoyance, you really have to ask the antiquities hunting hounds the British and the French.

But even so, Xia Ya spent a lot of energy.

Finally, he set his sights on a very huge pyramid, and he saw the scene inside through the pyramid.

In fact, in addition to the neatly arranged large stones on the outside, there are actually some irregular stones and some sand and gravel inside the pyramid. I don’t know whether it is due to weathering over the years or because some of the employees who built it at the time were lazy.

The King's Tomb is the final resting place of the Pharaoh's mummies and is wrapped in thick and hard granite.

Granite is much harder than limestone, which means it is harder to work with and harder to damage. Most of the pyramid's stones are limestone, with granite used only in key areas.

However, the tomb of the pyramid was empty. Both the bodies and the treasures were gone. They must have been stolen.

This pyramid should be the largest one on the land nearby. There is reason to suspect that this should be the legendary Pyramid of Khufu...
