I weave my destiny in parallel time and space
Chapter 209 More than 4 Years
"Is there any bet?" Tony asked with interest.
"A wine glass." Xia Ya said, "That's a good thing."
"Sounds good." Tony said. The wine glass of Dionysus sounded unusual.
Xia Ya raised his head and looked at Galante, "Are you doing tomb robbing work now?"
"Adventure," Galante emphasized.
Char nodded. Every European tomb robber in this period said that he was an explorer.
"I want to trace the traces of civilization. The existence of that pyramid must have been a long time ago." Galante said.
Xia Ya smiled, silently picked up the hibiscus tea in front of her and took a sip.
"What you are going to explore is the Pyramid of Khufu, right?"
"Khufu?"
The study of the pyramids has obviously not yet begun in this era. Only tomb robbers entered, and those tomb robbers were obviously only interested in the treasures inside. As for who the owner was, no one cared.
Not to mention studying this civilization, it would be nice not to destroy those precious murals.
"It's the biggest pyramid." Xia Ya said.
Galante came to his senses and nodded.
After a pause, he seemed to realize something, and asked, "Do you know the owner of that pyramid?"
"It depends on how you define acquaintance." Xiaya said, "I have never met him, but I know his name. His name is Hunihufu, the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. The Greeks call him Miracle Apps.”
Galante nodded, "People here have absolutely no idea about the origins of these pyramids.
There are also very few records from Europe. "
The ancient Egyptians never thought of writing a chronicle to record everything that happened in detail. Even though they had writing a long time ago. Their history is written in fragments on murals, reliefs or on tomb walls.
Therefore, the study of Egyptian civilization can only be found from these murals.
But in a sense, the ancient Egyptians were also the first nation to write history.
The study of ancient Egyptian history actually began as early as 300 BC.
At that time, Alexander the Great had just died, and around the time of the first and second generation kings of the Ptolemaic dynasty, an Egyptian priest named Maneso wrote a 30-volume Egyptian history book in Greek. When translated, it can be directly called " "History of Egypt" or "Annals of Egypt".
With the help of some papyrus documents and some scattered records, he divided all the pharaohs he knew into 30 dynasties. This division method is still used today.
Regrettably, this book was burned when Caesar conquered Egypt, and only some fragmentary contents have survived.
For Europeans who believe in Christianity, the names of places and people in ancient Egypt are not unfamiliar. After all, they appear in the Bible.
But that's about it.
Europeans' understanding of Egypt at that time mostly came from the records of ancient Greece and Rome.
For the more Arabs in Egypt, as well as the occasional Europeans who come here, the ruins before them mean nothing.
In another world, it was Napoleon who really began to study Egyptian civilization on a large scale.
When he attacked Egypt, he brought with him more than 300 warships and nearly 4 troops.
There are also more than 200 astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, mineralogists, orientalists, technicians, painters, poets and writers from the French Academy of Sciences.
Many amazing discoveries in the history of Egyptian archaeology occurred after Napoleon's expedition to Egypt.
Among these people was an aristocratic artist named Dominique Vivian Denon, who was recommended by Napoleon's beautiful wife Josephine to draw the illustrations. From the moment he entered Egypt, he was deeply infatuated with everything here.
Although he knew nothing about Egyptian culture, he drew everything he saw with his keen observation and skillful pen. The countless exquisite drawings he brought back to France provided extremely precious information for archaeologists to study Egypt.
The world's first famous book on Egyptian archeology, "Egyptian Narrative", written by Ruoma, was a systematic scientific work written based on these drawings.
In addition, Napoleon's literati discovered and brought back to France the famous Rosetta Tablet inscribed in three different languages, which later became the key to solving many Egyptian mysteries.
This is also another positive achievement for him after the Napoleonic Code.
However, this cannot conceal the fact that he looted many cultural relics from the land of Egypt.
Obviously, Napoleon may not exist in this world...
"These buildings were not built by these people," Galante said.
"It was established by their ancestors." Xia Ya sighed with emotion. "Unfortunately, as it has been conquered by outsiders again and again for more than a thousand years, this civilization has long forgotten its past."
"More than a thousand years?" Galante opened his eyes slightly, "Doesn't that mean that the cemetery must be more than a thousand years ago?"
"If you're talking about the Pyramid of Khufu, it was about now."
Xia Ya recalled it for a moment, "It should be more than 4,300 years ago."
"How much more!!?"
There was a bit of shock on Galante's face. This was obviously an unattainable number for him who was only in his thirties.
Strictly speaking, his country, West France, only lasted for more than a thousand years. During this period, it was unknown how many dynasties of rulers had changed.
More than four thousand years is a year long enough to turn seas into mulberry fields and mountains into rivers.
The colleagues behind him also opened their eyes wide when they heard this.
"It was a long time ago, right?"
Xia Ya smiled, continued to raise the tea in his hand and took a sip.
"It would be hard for you people today to imagine how people over four thousand years ago could build such a behemoth."
"It's difficult to do even now." Tony commented, "To build such a pyramid, the manpower and material resources consumed are enough to bring down a small country."
"But there's more than one building like that on this land," Alicia said.
When Galante came back to his senses, he couldn't help but imagine what a glorious scene that civilization was more than four thousand years ago.
Regarding those pyramids, he could find very few records in Europe. The book that knew the most about this place was the Bible, but the Bible told mythical stories, and the time described in it was different from the current way of counting.
Of course, if you take the time to look for the records left by ancient Greece and Rome, you should still be able to find some information.
At least they should not understand the long history of this ancient Egyptian civilization.
But Galante is not here to explore civilization, but to explore mystery, so naturally he will not waste time.
After a pause, Galante came back to his senses and looked at Char.
The tone of this mysterious existence was very firm just now...
Galante is obviously unaware of the many high technologies that will be used to judge vintages in the future.
For example, carbon 60000 can be used to determine the approximate age of living things that are less than 14 years old.
Stone cannot be dated using carbon 14, but wood can.
So after the discovery of Khufu's solar boat, identification became very simple. In addition, in the pyramid labor tombs, there are also a large number of relics and mummies that can determine the age, and there are even some written records.
But Galante obviously didn't know this. In his opinion, Char's determination was as if he had seen that era with his own eyes.
He swallowed softly.
I saw with my own eyes that era that was more than 4,000 years ago
