Show it to me.\"\nFaced with Blake's teasing, Jackie Chan seemed a little embarrassed. He asked his father about the letter out of curiosity, and at the same time wanted to change the subject.\n\"Of course I still have it. It's right here. If you want to see it, take it and see it.\"\nDad raised his hand and clicked on a letter on the counter.\nHearing this, Jackie Chan walked over and picked up the letter and read it.\nThe sender of the letter is indeed from World Archeology Magazine, and the address is London, England.\nThe hosting location of World Archeology Magazine is there.\nAfter reading the envelope, Jackie Chan took out the letter inside and read it carefully.\nAlthough Dad had just given a rough outline of the content of the letter, after all, it was not a trivial matter to him, and Jackie Chan still wanted to take a closer look.\nSeeing Jackie Chan reading the letter there, Xiaoyu and Tang Mu, as two little curious people, also came over to watch the fun.\nBecause he was not tall enough, Tom Mu also moved a folding ladder and placed it behind Jackie Chan.\nOne person and one cat climbed up the ladder and lowered their heads to read the letter with Jackie Chan.\nWhen Blake on the side saw this, he didn't know what to say.\nAlthough the main job of District 13 is to investigate all kinds of extraordinary events, he should have a certain immunity.\nBut for someone like Tang Mu, he really couldn't accept it.\nNo matter how many times he watched it, Blake felt that the existence of cats like Tom was really unreasonable.\nEven if all the gods and Buddhas appeared in the sky, they would not be able to bring a greater impact to his heart than this cat.\nIn fact, Tang Mu's performance a few hours ago left such a deep impression on him that he might never forget it in his life.\nBlake thought that his spirit was quite strong, at least he didn't go crazy directly.\nYou know, Daniel, who drove him before, is now receiving treatment from a psychologist in District 13.\nTom Mu, the cat, has now become a key observation target in District 13.\nIt's just that the main responsibility of District 13 is investigation and observation, and there will be no other interference, so no one will come to affect Tom Mu's life.\nNot only for Tom Mu, but also for other extraordinary events.\nOn the other side, Jackie Chan has carefully read the letter sent by the magazine.\nGenerally speaking, it's what dad just said.\nIt's just that Jackie Chan is still more or less a scholar, and he still needs to be rigorous as a scholar.\nSome of the key information in the letter is also very important and must be read.\nGenerally speaking, several papers on ancient Egyptian that Jackie Chan submitted before have attracted the attention of some experts in the industry.\nIt just so happened that the curator of the Egyptian Museum of the British Museum also noticed Jackie Chan's paper and has been studying its feasibility.\nThe understanding of ancient Egyptian by experts in this world is different from that of the main world.\nTheir understanding of ancient Egyptian writing at this time was more inclined to the view contained in \"Egyptian Hieroglyphics\", a book about Egyptian hieroglyphics written by Hera Pineapple around 500 AD.\nThe book believes that the rabbit symbol in Egyptian hieroglyphs means open, because the rabbit's eyes are always open.\nThe symbol of the vulture means mother, because all vultures are female.\nThese contents are undoubtedly quite nonsense, but the problem is that it successfully led all subsequent researchers astray and fell into the ditch one by one.\nThey all ran forward on the road of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics without looking back, so that to this day, ancient Egyptian has been called a dead script.\nNo one can translate it.\nJackie Chan's talent in language seems to be very strong, and his thinking is not qualitative.\nInspired by the deciphering of Tangut script, and because Jackie Chan, as a Chinese, is naturally very aware of the history of the development of Chinese characters, he naturally received some inspiration and had some different ideas about deciphering ancient Egyptian script.\nAncient Egyptian, why must it be ideographic?\nPerhaps, those symbols can actually be used directly as letters after being phonetically transcribed.\nPrecisely because of these thoughts, Jackie Chan immediately began to conduct research along this line of thinking.\nIn the end, certain results were achieved.\nJust like in a paper he submitted before, Jackie Chan compared the names in the royal circle of the kings of the Ptolemaic Dynasty.\nThis is used to initially prove that ancientEgyptian writing can be used as letters to mark pronunciations.\nSubsequent step-by-step research and the publication of papers have made Jackie Chan's conjecture more likely.\nBecause of this, Jackie Chan is also somewhat famous among a group of scholars who study ancient Egypt.\nHis identity is like Champollion who deciphered the ancient Egyptian text in the world of Tom Mu.\nIt's just that for the time being, he doesn't have as high a status as Champollion, nor does he have that much authority.\nBut for the almost stagnant ancient Egyptian translation, the emergence of Jackie Chan has given everyone a new way of thinking.\nIt happened that the curator of the Egyptian Museum of the British Museum had made some new archaeological discoveries and was planning to invite Jackie Chan to participate in an archaeological operation in Egypt.\nIt is really rare to be invited to participate in archaeological activities like this.\nEven Jackie Chan is relatively well-known in the industry and is an honorary professor at the University of Hong Kong.\nBut this is the second time for such a serious invitation.\nEspecially an invitation at the level of the British Museum.\nIn fact, for Jackie Chan, his feelings towards the British Museum are quite complicated.\nAs a patriotic Chinese, the large number of Chinese collections in the British Museum will remind him of that humiliating history and the ugly face of the British.\nBut as an industry insider, he also knows how much the invitation from the British Museum will help his archaeological career.\nAfter thinking for a long time, Jackie Chan finally let out a long sigh and decided to accept the invitation and go have a look.\nHe really loved archeology so much that even if there was no prestige for this trip, after learning about the new archaeological discoveries, he still went there at his own expense.\nThis has nothing to do with the British Museum.\nMoreover, Jackie Chan also knows some foreign archaeologists. There are indeed many bad people, but there are also some people who are not bad. Jackie Chan still wants to control his emotions as much as possible so as not to affect innocent people.\nThe Chinese are always like this. Because they are too civilized, they appear out of place in the barbaric world dominated by the West.\nAs a rational adult, Jackie Chan still needs to weigh his own thoughts.\nAs an invincible cat, Tom's idea is of course simpler.\nAfter seeing the British Museum in the letter, a bold idea came to Tom Mu's mind.\nMany Chinese people probably have similar thoughts.\nBut based on reality and strength, in the end we can only think about it and cannot implement it.\nBut Tang Mu is different. There is no doubt about its strength.\nIn this case, if you have the opportunity in the future, just do it as soon as you think of it.\nBut I'm not in a hurry about this matter. Anyway, I'll have the opportunity to go to England in the future, so I can just do that thing by the way.\nNow, Jackie Chan should accept this invitation, and it is estimated that a brand new adventure will begin.\nIts side missions can go one step further.\nSo it has to keep up with Jackie Chan.\nThe final result was not unexpected.\nJackie Chan indeed accepted the invitation and responded to an email confirming the time and location.\n\"Jackie Chan.\"\nWatching Jackie Chan finish his work, Blake, who had been waiting for a long time, stared directly at Jackie Chan, his bald head very conspicuous under the light.\nAlthough Blake didn't speak, Jackie Chan naturally knew what he wanted to say.\n\"Okay, okay. Blake, when we get to Egypt, if I have time, I will help you check on the scarab.\"\nPreviously, Jackie Chan rejected Blake's invitation because he was not planning to go to Egypt and did not want to get involved in Blake's affairs.\nBut now that he is going to Egypt, and Blake is one of Jackie Chan's few old friends, and things have come to this, it is natural that he can no longer refuse.\nSeeing this, Blake smiled with satisfaction.\nBut Jackie Chan hadn't spoken yet. Looking at his old friend in front of him, Jackie Chan said again: \"Blake, I'm going to say something ugly first. My main mission in Egypt is to participate in archaeological activities. I can't guarantee that I will help you investigate the scarab.\"\n\"I know, you are already very good. We in District Thirteen really need talents like you.\"\nThe expression on Blake's face did not change.\nHe knows Jackie Chan. This guy is so kind. As long as things are opened, things will be much easier to handle in the future.\nIf you can help the first time, there will definitely be a second or third time.\nEven if there is no consultant named District 13, it is almost the same.\nBlake wouldn't let Jackie Chan's work go in vain.\nHe has found out that Jackie Chan's recent income situation is very poor.\nThis job in District 13 can at least allow Jackie Chan to live a less financial life.\nTalking about income.\nBlake looked at Tom who was observing his tail.\nThis cat has really made a lot of money selling books recently.\nThe book \"The Adventures of Jackie Chan Myth\" did make Tom Mu a lot of money.\nIt's a pity that the money can only be used in this world and cannot be taken to other worlds, so it is not that meaningful to Tom Mu.\nBut it's not bad to have this money, at least you don't have to use the money in the cat's account anymore.\n\"Uncle Long, so you have decided to go to Egypt?\"\n\n            \n\n\n\n                 \nXiaoyu looked at Jackie Chan with her big eyes open, her hands mingled together, showing her expressionWith some trepidation, but also some hope: \"Will you take me with you? Ancient Egypt is so mysterious, I want to see it too.\"\nWhen Jackie Chan heard this, he immediately turned to look at Xiaoyu, subconsciously wanting to reject Xiaoyu.\nBut then he seemed to remember something.\nHe looked at Xiaoyu, who looked cute on the outside, and then at Tang Mu, who was using his paws to hook his tail.\nThe first two times, Jackie Chan wanted Xiaoyu to stay at home.\nBoth Xiaoyu and Tang Mu agreed very enthusiastically.\n​But what about in the end?\nNot to mention asking the two little guys to stay at home obediently, good guy, in the end they even brought the food to him.\nI remembered the scene I saw on the plane before.\nFortunately, my father did not have any heart problems. Otherwise, when he woke up and found himself at an altitude of nine thousand meters, he would have been frightened out of trouble.\nThe mouth opened.\nAfter staring into Xiaoyu's longing eyes for a long time, Jackie Chan finally sighed helplessly.\n\"Okay, let's go together. But we have to agree in advance. This trip is not just for fun, but also for archaeological work. It will be very hard, so don't expect too much.\"\nConsidering that this trip to Egypt was mainly due to the invitation of the British Museum, there should be no problems in terms of safety.\nJackie Chan was also afraid that Xiaoyu would secretly follow him to Egypt in the end. Without an adult watching, it would be even more troublesome.\nMy ancestors were right, blocking is worse than sparing.\nIn this case, just take Xiaoyu with you.\nAnyway, the real archaeological site is actually very boring.\nWith Xiaoyu's out-of-the-box personality, Jackie Chan didn't think Xiaoyu could survive the scene.\nIt's good to temper her temperament like this, so that when she goes out again in the future, she won't think about following him.\n\"Okay! I can go to Egypt too! I want to ride a camel! I want to see the pyramids and mummies!\"\nUnexpectedly, she would actually get Jackie Chan's permission. Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly!\nSeeing Xiaoyu's appearance, Jackie Chan turned to look at his father behind the counter, and asked with some worry: \"Dad, do you want to go to Egypt with us?\"\n\"Dad can do it alone, but there always have to be people in the store. We can't just close the shop.\"\nDad waved his hand indifferently.\nHe has also been to that damn place in Egypt, but now he is no longer interested.\n\"Dad's old bones can no longer stand the torment. If you find some interesting antiques there and you can buy them back, just treat them as helping dad buy them.\"\nHearing what his father said, Jackie Chan nodded and agreed without any further persuasion.\nAfter a moment of silence, Jackie Chan seemed to have remembered something. He looked at his father and asked solemnly: \"Dad, aren't there seven more demons? Are they making any movement now?\"\nThe father waved his hands indifferently and said: \"Oh, don't think so much. If those demons are to be resurrected, the demonic energy will definitely become active, and the Tiger Talisman Jade Pendant will naturally react. The jade pendant is still fine now, which means that it is not there for the time being. Well, you should do your own thing first.\"\nHearing this, Jackie Chan's anxious heart was relieved.\nNothing is best.\n\"Well, Dad, I'm going to pack my luggage first. Although it's not the appointed time yet, I want to go to Egypt to see it tomorrow.\"\nJackie Chan said and walked out directly, preparing to go back to his tower crane to pack his luggage.\nBefore, he went to inland areas. They were all within the country and the distance was very close, so he didn't make any preparations.\nAlthough he had just flown back to Xiangjiang, this time he was going to Egypt, so Jackie Chan still had to prepare some necessary supplies in advance.\n\"Xiaoyu, follow me, you have to prepare something. The environment in Egypt is different from that in Hong Kong.\"\nWhen Jackie Chan went out, he even greeted Xiaoyu.\nXiaoyu was very happy and naturally followed quickly.\n\"Aaron! There's one more thing. The store has been busy recently and you're away from home all day. Dad needs help. When you have time later, remember to print out a recruitment notice for dad.\"\nWhen Jackie Chan and the others were about to go out, Dad stopped Jackie Chan from behind.\n\"Ah, okay dad, I understand.\"\nJackie Chan scratched his head. He didn't expect that his father's antique shop would also be recruiting people. He was still a little uncomfortable for a while.\nBut since dad has spoken, Jackie Chan will certainly not refuse.\nHe was indeed relatively free before. Because he had less work, he often stayed in the store and helped his father.\nI don't know if it's because of the adoption of Tom Mu recently, but it's a bit like a lucky cat, and he's got more work to do.\nBut if this happens, he will no longer be able to help his father.\nFrom this point of view, it is really imperative to find someone for Dad's antique shop.\nJackie Chan and the others went to pack their luggage. Blake also achieved his goal and naturally left with satisfaction.\nAfter Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu took some time to pack their luggage for Egypt, Jackie Chan immediately went to the print shop to print out recruitment notices for his father.\nA recruitment notice was posted at the door of the store and they stayed in Xiangjiang for another night. The next day, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu took the cat Tom Mu to Xiangjiang Airport again.\nThey need to take a plane to Cairo Airport in Egypt.\nRecently, they really spent a lot of time on the plane.\nIn just one month, I have flown several times in a row.\nFortunately, Tang Mu made some money from selling books, otherwise, Jackie Chan might not even be able to afford a plane ticket.\nTom Mu still remembers that Jackie Chan wanted to buy a plane ticket yesterday, but ended up being embarrassed.Discovering that you don't have enough money.\nEspecially after paying the money themselves, Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu's expressions became even more exciting.\nIn a small family, whoever controls the wallet will be tough in speaking.\nTaking advantage of this period of time, it doesn't matter if Tang Mu acts casually in front of Jackie Chan.\nAfter boarding the plane with your ticket, it's a long wait for the flight.\nThe flight they took took at least fifteen hours to fly from Xiangjiang to Cairo.\nWhether it's economy class or first class, flying for such a long time is actually not very comfortable.\nEven though Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu were looking forward to Egypt, they still couldn't help but look sad when they thought about the long flight time.\nStaying in a small space for such a long time is no different from going to jail. It is a physical and mental torture.\n\"Go to sleep, it's better when you're asleep.\"\nJackie Chan and the others had just sat down. Seeing Xiaoyu's uncomfortable expression, Jackie Chan comforted Xiaoyu.\nOn this long flight, I can only pass the time by sleeping.\nAt least after falling asleep, time can pass faster.\nBut the problem is that even if you want to fall asleep on a plane, it is not that simple.\nAt this time, the plane trembled slightly and began to slowly take off.\nSeeing the expressions of Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu next to him, Tang Mu didn't want to suffer on the plane for so long.\nAfter thinking about it, it raised its left paw and lifted the fur on it, revealing a children's watch underneath. It stretched out a paw and put it on the minute hand of the dial, rotating it clockwise for more than ten times.\nAs the minutes on Tom's dial turn, the time all over the world also moves forward!\nThe plane passed through Xiangjiang and Cairo at extremely fast speed.\nThe weather outside also changed drastically in an instant.\nJackie Chan and their body senses clearly knew that the plane had just taken off, but within a few seconds, the plane had already begun to land and was taxiing on the Cairo airport runway.\n  \"ladies and gentlemen:\nThe plane has landed at Cairo International Airport. The outside temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. The plane is taxiing. For the safety of you and others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack yet. \"\n\"After the plane has completely stopped, please unfasten your seat belt, pack your hand luggage and prepare to get off the plane. Please pay attention to safety when picking up items from the luggage rack. Please collect your checked luggage at the baggage claim area. You need to pick up your luggage at the baggage claim area. Passengers transferring from this station to other places should go to the transfer counter in the waiting room to handle the matter.\"\n\"Thank you for choosing Xiangjiang Airlines. See you on your next trip!\"\nListening to the flight attendant's radio announcement in the cabin, their buttocks were not even hot yet. Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu suddenly looked at each other with disbelief on their faces!",3373,"2026-06-05T15:23:28.309Z",1,null,"6fe9868ec3701336841dbe761056ae9c4335e97cbb773048819f942adb9fd02e","egypt-cairo-177","invitation-to-egyptian-archeology-175",463,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780673005081.jpg"]
