Chapter 180: It's natural to have Ultraman in the pyramid, right?
The ruins discovered by the British Museum are just northwest of Aswan.
There are many things here in Aswan.
Temples and tall obelisks from the Ptolemaic era.
In addition to Elephant Island, continuing southward along the Nile River, there is also Philae Island, on which is the ancient temple of Isis.
But after the Aswan Dam was built, the temple was moved to Agalkai Island.
After more than ten hours of travel, Jackie Chan and his party finally arrived in Aswan.
By the time we arrived at the local area, it was getting very late.
It was not suitable for archaeological activities at night, so everyone finally chose to stay at the Rehen Hotel in Aswan.
Wait until early tomorrow morning, and then let the locals lead the way to the newly discovered ruins.
Originally, Tang Mu didn't think too much about it, and he just thought it was an informative archaeological operation.
After all, Tang Mu is not a professional. Maybe Jackie Chan and others will have different feelings about this event.
But Tang Mu and Xiaoyu came purely with the mentality of traveling and having fun.
Tang Mu estimated that after the initial novelty wore off, it and Xiaoyu would be bored.
This is exactly the case.
The location of this new ruins is quite remote, a certain distance from both sides of the Nile River.
It takes four or five hours to drive there.
Originally, Tang Mu and Xiaoyu were full of expectations.
At first, I thought this so-called ruins would be a majestic building like the Temple of Philae.
The result is completely different. It is just a small abandoned ancient building. Most of the main body of the building has either collapsed or is buried under the soil.
Just as Tang Mu had imagined before, after it and Xiaoyu stayed at the archaeological site for a while, it became bored.
Archeology is undoubtedly a very time-consuming and labor-intensive work that requires a lot of patience.
Especially working in a scorching hot environment like Egypt is even more torturous for people.
Fortunately, Tom Mu kept a dark cloud hanging over their heads, so they felt a little better.
People from the British and French museums have benefited from it.
Based on their preliminary inspection, this group of professionals has already made a rough judgment on this ruins.
This should be a castle left over from the Mamluk era.
This place is close to the Harij Oasis and was probably built as a fortress at first.
It was subsequently abandoned, then used as residential housing, then destroyed again decades ago, and finally abandoned to this day.
There are many ancient buildings like this in Egypt.
The reason why the British Museum and the Louvre are so interested in this site is that there are still many well-preserved texts and reliefs in it.
These all have certain research value.
In particular, due to the lack of building materials, in many cases, when ancient people built a new building, they often removed the building materials from other buildings and reused them.
Therefore, some earlier ancient Egyptian stone tablets can even be found in this ruins.
If Jackie Chan's research direction is correct and he can really translate ancient Egyptian.
These stone tablets with text are all the best materials for studying the history of ancient Egypt, and no one can be missed.
In fact, not only ancient Egypt, but Rome also had the habit of reusing building materials.
Just like the famous ancient Roman Colosseum.
Most of the missing parts were stolen by local residents.
"Mr. Jackie Chan, could you please help me take a look at these things?"
In the ruins of the castle, Dr. Boyang shouted to Jackie Chan.
This sound immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone present knew Jackie Chan, and at this time they were also curious about whether Jackie Chan could really translate ancient Egyptian texts.
Upon hearing the greeting, Jackie Chan leaned over without any stage fright.
Looking at the hieroglyphs carved on the wall, he said: "Because it should be a stone tablet left by the Ptolemaic Dynasty in the Hellenistic era of ancient Egypt. It mainly praises the daughter of Ptolemy III, Arsinoe III's contribution to the temple. a donation."
A group of scholars gathered around looked at each other after hearing this, not knowing whether Jackie Chan's translation was correct or not.
But I didn't say anything at this time.
As for Dr. Boyan and Dr. Toma, they have studied Jackie Chan's thesis very deeply and have their own understanding of his ancient Egyptian deciphering method over the past few years.
After hearing Jackie Chan finish the translation, they also translated it again and found that it was almost the same.
I immediately felt that maybe Jackie Chan's research direction was indeed correct.
Jackie Chan and the others are working in full swing.
Tang Mu and Xiaoyu sat on the ground outside the ruins in boredom.,moan and groan.
The freshness of both of them has worn off now.
I don't have much interest in their archeology.
I felt a little regretful for a moment.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed him out.
There isn't even a mobile phone signal here, let alone anything fun to do to kill time.
Now if you are in Cairo or Aswan, you can at least find something fun to do.
"Tom, it's so boring. Do you have any fun ideas?"
Xiaoyu leaned against the thick wall of the castle ruins, feeling very bored and hoping that Tang Mu would have some good ideas.
When Tang Mu heard this, he twitched his ears.
Looking at the endless loess and yellow sand in front of me, I turned to look at the group of experts and scholars working behind me. I didn't know what I thought of, but suddenly my eyes lit up!
A shining light bulb appeared above its head.
Xiaoyu also saw the light bulb coming out of Tang Mu's head, and suddenly became happy.
"Do you have an idea?"
Tom Mu nodded happily and jumped up from the ground.
He took out a bucket and a children's toy shovel directly from behind his back.
"This is?"
Xiaoyu looked curiously at the shovel and bucket handed to her by Tang Mu, not quite understanding what Tang Mu meant.
Tang Mu himself took out a bucket and a small shovel, and happily took Xiaoyu to an open space a hundred meters away.
After pouring water from the bucket on the ground, when the soil here became soft and wet, Tom squatted aside and shoveled on the ground with a child's shovel, shoveling out all the wet soil.
The wet soil has good plasticity, so Tang Mu squatted there and started playing with the mud.
After a while, a clay statue of Xiaoyu was made out of clay.
"Wow!"
Xiaoyu exclaimed.
Then I knew what Tang Mu wanted to do.
Although Xiaoyu has never played with mud, she has played with plasticine, so the feeling should be similar.
Then he followed suit and squatted next to Tang Mu and started to mix with the mud.
In a short time, the hands and faces of the two little guys were covered with mud.
Looking at the strange-looking clay statue that she had pinched in front of her, Xiaoyu suddenly had an idea. She suddenly turned to Tang Mu and said, "Shall we build a pyramid?"
Xiaoyu said while raising her hands in front of her to make signs.
It seems that he wants to build a small pyramid over one meter high here, just like building a snowman.
Looking at Xiaoyu's appearance, it seems that she wants to make mud bricks first, directly imitating the construction process of the ancient Egyptians, and build them brick by brick.
For children, if they can make this kind of pyramid, it will definitely be very fulfilling and fun.
But Xiaoyu's idea of building a pyramid also gave Tang Mu some inspiration.
Yes, you can also build pyramids.
Tom Mu held a children's toy shovel in his hand, and he suddenly had an idea.
Since we have to build a pyramid, we definitely can't just build a simple one. Tom plans to build a large pyramid for fun.
This is more interesting.
As soon as he thought of it, Tang Mu licked his lips, held a small shovel in his hand, and started digging directly on the ground.
Tom ran back and forth across the clearing.
I didn't know where to drag huge stones, and then used a very primitive method, just like the ancient Egyptians, to quickly build the pyramid.
Tom didn't just want to build a pyramid.
It even built a ring of temples outside the pyramid, directly surrounding the pyramid.
In just a few seconds, under Xiaoyu's stunned gaze, a magnificent building that covered an area larger than the Pyramid of Khufu rose from the ground.
This building can even be described as a wonder!
It can definitely be regarded as a world architectural miracle.
What's even more strange is that the overall feeling of the building is very simple.
The degree of weathering on the outside is like that of a building built thousands of years ago, and it is completely impossible to tell that it is a new building just built.
You have built your own pyramid.
With a proud look on his face, Tang Mu stood in front of the main entrance of the temple and motioned to Xiaoyu about his work.
Xiaoyu was indeed a little shocked at first.
But looking at Tom Mu's triumphant look, he couldn't help but put his hands on his hips.
I feel like this cat is a bit bullying.
It can build this kind of wonder directly and independently. No matter what it does, it is impossible to do better than it.
"ah--!!!!"
At this moment, a loud scream suddenly came from behind them.
Both Tang Mu and Xiaoyu were shocked!
Looking back, I happened to see a young scholar standing a hundred meters away, looking at them in shock!
No, to be precise, Yin should be looking at the pyramid temple behind them in shock.
This young scholar seems to be an assistant to Dr. Thomas.
Originally, I just took time out to smoke a cigarette and take a break after work.
As soon as the results came out, I saw an extremely huge and majestic ancient building suddenly appearing directly in front of me.
The majesty of the pyramid temple is even far greater than the Pyramid of Khufu.
Because this pyramid temple gives people a gorgeous feeling.
But, these are not the point.The point is, when they came here before, there were obviously no other buildings here.
Why did such a marvelous building suddenly appear in such a blink of an eye? !
If this building is real, it shouldn't be so unknown.
It's long overdue to be famous all over the world!
Could it be a mirage?
The young scholar's spirit was obviously greatly shocked, and he staggered towards this direction as if he had lost his mind.
When his fingers touched the rough wall of the temple, his whole body felt as if he had been shocked by electricity. The real touch gave him a strong shock in an instant!
"Dr. Thomas——!!!"
It seemed as if some great discovery of the century had been discovered.
The young scholar cried and laughed, turned around and ran towards the ruins of the castle, shouting the name of his mentor as he ran.
It didn't take long.
The pyramid temple that Tom built in a few seconds was watched by a group of ancient Egypt scholars who were absolutely authoritative in the world today.
Looking at this group of scholars who were carefully looking at the pyramid temple and still discussing and quarreling.
Tang Mu and Xiaoyu looked embarrassed and could only stand silently behind the crowd.
It always felt like their playful behavior had accidentally caused some big noise.
"It's really strange. Where did this pyramid temple come from?"
"There are many unsolved mysteries about ancient Egypt, and it can be classified as one of them for the time being. We can ignore this issue for now and focus on studying this wonder, right?"
"Yes, this is definitely the biggest archaeological discovery of this century. I never expected that there would be a building bigger and older than the Pyramid of Khufu!"
"Do you think this building is older than the Pyramid of Khufu?"
"You can't even see this. Is this the level of your British Museum?"
"Stop arguing! Let's go in and take a look!"
Because of their disagreements, this group of scholars had been arguing non-stop just facing the outer wall of the temple.
Jackie Chan couldn't speak for a while.
Looking back at Tang Mu and Xiaoyu, Jackie Chan looked suspicious.
I always feel that things are probably not that simple.
Tang Mu, Xiaoyu and Jackie Chan's eyes met. The two little ones suddenly looked embarrassed and whistled and looked away.
An expression that doesn't care about us, it's just a coincidence.
Seeing their appearance, Jackie Chan suddenly had a headache and covered his head.
Okay, it's completely confirmed.
This building was 100% made by Tom Mu.
Only this cat can build a building out of thin air in a short period of time.
But when he knew the facts of the matter, he didn't know what to do.
He knew about Tang Mu's ability, but those scholars obviously didn't.
If they were to treat what Tom was playing with as a real historical relic, it would be hard for Jackie Chan to imagine how the history of ancient Egypt would be interpreted from now on.
"Dr. Boyan, Dr. Thomas."
Jackie Chan gave Tang Mu and the others a helpless look, and quickly turned around to find the two curators, trying to persuade them as much as possible.
But these two people obviously couldn't listen to what Jackie Chan said at this time.
The castle ruins discovered before can make the curators of the two museums compete with each other.
The sight of the pyramid temple in front of Geng Hekang would shock the whole world. Such a great discovery of the century could make any archaeologist go crazy with joy on the spot!
In other words, Jackie Chan can remain calm because he knows the truth.
"Mr. Jackie Chan, don't say so much. I think you also want to explore. We can explore together, but this archaeological activity is sponsored by us after all, so if you want to write any related papers If so, it must be submitted to us for review first."
Dr. Boyang didn't wait for Jackie Chan to speak, but he started to speak.
The implication behind the words is that he obviously wants to monopolize the archaeological discovery of this pyramid temple.
When Jackie Chan saw this, he couldn't say anything else.
It seemed that it was impossible for this group of people to listen to his words anymore.
Talking too much at this time is of no use, but will only make people unhappy.
Jackie Chan turned to look at Tang Mu and the others again, and all he could see were two big smiling faces.
This made Jackie Chan a little helpless, but he could only accept this reality.
A group of archaeologists were already eagerly heading into the temple.
Jackie Chan and Tang Mu also followed.
After all, Establishment is an invited person and can only keep up.
Tang Mu and Xiaoyu mainly went to watch the fun.
This pyramid temple looks pretty decent from the outside.
But just after crossing the temple gate, others may not feel much.
Jackie Chan suddenly felt the urge to ignore it.
The ancient Egyptians liked to make reliefs, murals and paintings.
These elements can be seen on the walls of ordinary temples.
The same is true for the pyramid temple built by Tom.
On the temple surrounding the pyramid, there are clearly relief murals of Tom Mu himself.
However, the style of painting used is full of ancient Egypt.
That's the kind of side profile.
Of course, the reason why Tom did this was for fun.
In the eyes of these experts and scholars, this scene is a historical material worth studying.
As we all know, the ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats very much.
This level of respect even far exceeds the Indians' respect for cattle.respect.
Therefore, they are completely acceptable if a large number of cat content appears in the murals of an ancient Egyptian temple.
I just can't figure it out a bit.
It's this cat breed that looks weird. It's not the spotted cat from ancient Egypt. On the contrary, it is more like British short form...
Seeing that the group of experts had begun to study Tang Mu's murals, Jackie Chan immediately slapped his forehead, thinking that what he predicted had indeed happened.
Now the research on ancient Egypt is really going astray.
Dr. Boyan looked at the mural, suddenly turned to Jackie Chan, smiled and joked: "The cat in this mural is quite similar to your Tom. Do you think it is interesting or not?"
"Haha, interesting and interesting."
Jackie Chan could only laugh twice.
A group of people finished looking at the murals and started walking towards the pyramid again.
The pyramid built by Tom Mu has an indented stone door that can be pushed open to enter.
This is different from other pyramids.
"Boom--!"
With the efforts of everyone, the stone door of the pyramid was pushed open.
As soon as the stone door was opened, the candles against the wall inside were instantly lit.
The space inside the pyramid was instantly illuminated.
As soon as this group of talents entered the interior of the pyramid, they were immediately stunned by the scene inside.
Inside this large pyramid, the space is very spacious.
Among them, three huge giant stone statues immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
If there are people from the main world here, they will probably recognize them immediately. These three stone statues, from left to right, are Dyna, Tiga and Gaia respectively.
Mainly when talking about the pyramid, Tom Mu thought of the first episode of Ultraman Tiga. The stone statue of Tiga was in the golden pyramid.
This gave Tang Mu inspiration and he made it easily.
Originally it was just made for fun.
But looking at the current situation, these experts may have taken it seriously.
The ancient Egyptian archeology in this world seems to be really hopeless. If they put all their efforts into it, the final research results will definitely go to grandma's house...
but……
It feels quite fun.
It would be better for them to study this pyramid temple, so as to save them from harming the real ruins and antiquities of Egypt.
