Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 821 Records
There is no doubt that the two organizations of the Golden Dawn and the Rose Cross have extensive cooperation, and the basis for their cooperation is that each of them is the top Transcendent organization in their own area of ​​activity, and at the same time they have a high degree of complementarity.

To give the simplest example, Rosicrucian can search for what they need on a large scale by casting a wide net, but it is difficult for Golden Dawn to do this.

This is because even the most basic search for legends related to the extraordinary requires some professionalism, but most people don't have this kind of accomplishment at all. This is the biggest flaw of an organization with a small number of people like the Golden Dawn.

But the Golden Dawn is not without its own advantages. Their higher personal qualities and the elite non-professionals under their command allow them to conduct in-depth research on these discovered secrets.

Rosicrucians can't do this. They are not as versatile as the Golden Dawn, so apart from being relatively strong in alchemy and related knowledge.The level of other aspects is really average.

Therefore, they naturally suffer even more in terms of pure academic research, especially when encountering some mixed types of knowledge, they basically need the help of other organizations.

This is why the relationship between the two organizations is so close.So on the second day, they communicated with Liang En and the others in various aspects as before.

In particular, Rose Cross specially asked Liang En to translate several important documents, which were basically manuscripts left by some ancient alchemists.

Many of these manuscripts are in ancient Egyptian. Although Liang En has studied a lot of papers on ancient Egypt before and even wrote a dictionary, many people still ask Liang En to translate ancient Egyptian. .

The reason for this situation is purely because such a short time is simply not enough for everyone to fully learn this relatively complicated language.

So it is still possible to understand some common content simply by relying on the translations that Liang En has made public now, but it is not so easy to understand some esoteric content.

"—This should be a record of an ancient Egyptian doctor, recording the configuration of six medicines." Liang En said after seeing that this photo was obviously from a collection in a museum.

Like the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucian is also a very formal organization, and what they seek is more knowledge than the cultural relics themselves, so when they cannot obtain the original cultural relics, they will often fall back and choose replicas .

It's just that this time they obviously found certain keywords and brought those things to Liang En for translation, but in fact, the things recorded in the documents have nothing to do with alchemy.

Ok.

"This clearly talks about grinding, but then it talks about purification—" a young Rosicrucian member asked in confusion. "Does it need to be so complicated to make ancient Egyptian potions?"

"Most of the medicines are not needed, but some medicines called god-given medicines are needed." Liang En pointed to the photo in his hand and said.

"This kind of potion should be regarded as the top batch of medicine in ancient Egypt. In addition to using a series of precious medicinal materials, it also needs to hold a series of religious ceremonies."

From the perspective of historical records, there was a history of witch doctors in the early days of civilization all over the world. For example, one of the elements of witch hunting in the European Middle Ages and identifying witches was the production and use of certain herbs.

China in the East is also similar, and some of them have even been left over to modern times. For example, when a famous writer was young, he found for his father a medicine similar to "a pair of original crickets, sugarcane that has been frosted for three years." components of the technique.

As for ancient Egypt, a country in the early stages of human civilization, witchcraft and medicine were almost mixed together. Except for a few rural doctors, almost all the people who mastered medicine were priests of ancient Egypt.

The document Rosicrucian and the others found this time probably came from a not-so-low-level priest, because some of the things recorded in the content of the document conformed to Imhotep's memory in his mind.

The spices of ancient Egypt changed with the times, but not all spices are like this, and one of them will not change.For example, those who sacrifice to the gods must strictly follow the oldest way.

And one of the six prescriptions on this papyrus is used to configure the spice used to worship the sun god, and it has not changed much even after thousands of years.

Considering that this spice was only allowed to be prepared and used by high-level priests in ancient times, Liang En deduced that the original owner of this spice was an ancient Egyptian high priest.

In addition to this spice, Liang En also recognized another spice that should be used for embalming during the mummification process. This is also the first time in this world that this clue has been found from cultural relics.

"That is to say, there are six prescriptions recorded in this document, and all six prescriptions are spices." Vice President John was attracted by everyone's discussion at this time, and then expressed his opinion.

"If I remember correctly, you just said that these spices are very precious, and they are believed to be able to communicate with the gods and defeat evil, which means that they have some kind of mystical value, right?"

"Yes, that's right. The ancient Egyptians believed that incense was the intermediary between the secular world and the gods, and people's reverence could be sent directly to the gods through the curling of cigarettes." Liang En turned around and nodded in a friendly manner. Then explained.

"According to a series of records found now, the ancient Egyptians even burned tons of spices in a ceremony to express their worship to the gods."

"At the same time, besides burning incense, sesame oil is also one of the important offerings to the gods, so there are written records on the stone tablets in front of some temples that people want to dedicate the best herbs, sesame oil or perfume to the gods. "

While speaking, Liang En's hand didn't stop. He used the quill pen distributed at the meeting and dipped in ink to copy the six prescriptions on the kraft paper prepared in advance. At the same time, the following is written in Latin Translated again.

All these ancient writing tools were distributed by the meeting, and everything imitated the way of writing thousands of years ago as much as possible to record some important clues obtained in the discussion.

As for the translation, Latin is used because for mystics, Latin is a must-have skill, and it also solves the problem of communication difficulties caused by everyone coming from various countries.

And there is another advantage of using Latin, that is, for some mystical content that is difficult to describe in modern languages, it can be easily described in Latin.

"Oh, by the way, show me all the documents you found together with this document." While recording the contents of these documents, Liang En whispered to the other people beside him, "Maybe I can Find more clues."

The reason why he said this was because he learned from the chat that this document did not come from those private collections, but from the excavation results of a tomb displayed in a museum.

In other words, all the things in that cemetery should have been unearthed in the same batch. Even if some of them were damaged due to a long time, a lot of information can still be restored by piecing together other documents.
