Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 837: The Figure in the Grave

Faced with the audience's request, Bi Fang sternly refused.

[I have reason to doubt who Fang Shen is connoting (dog head)]

【Fang Shen is not a robber, but someone is】

[Don’t talk about what’s there, just go inside and have a look]

[Boring, don't want treasure, we want to see blood flow into rivers! 】

The fire flickered, illuminating the space between square inches.

The information on the wall is extremely rich and clear, and a large number of patterns are densely drawn, which is quite exquisite.

Brown-skinned villains lined up on it seemed to be offering sacrifices to something.

Bi Fang looked a little dizzy.

Everyone knows the pyramids of ancient Egypt, but few people know about the Mastaba, the predecessor of the pyramids in ancient Egypt.

But this is also a must-see part of coming to Egypt.

This may be the first time this ancient tomb has been exposed to the world, and he is the first person to see it. At the same time, there are tens of millions of viewers accompanying him, and the number is still increasing.

Many people expressed their admiration and incredible barrage.

At first, the quicksand on the ground loosened, revealing a cave, and no one realized the exaggeration of the matter.

Bi Fang actually found such a strange scene underground.

This is not a natural cave, but a ruin!

Really ancient ruins!

This of course caused another stir on the Internet.

With the advancement of human science and technology, and satellites flying into the sky one after another, there may be lost objects that have not been found in the virgin forest, but the wilderness like the desert has almost no secrets for people.

Once the satellite photos are taken, you can see the pyramids at a glance, without having to ride a camel and find them hard.

Therefore, almost all undiscovered relics in the desert are located underground, or in a crack in a canyon somewhere. In this case, it is not easy to find.

It is also true that after entering the 21st century, you will no longer hear of an explorer like Yangguo archaeologist Howard Carter who became famous for discovering Tutankhamun's tomb.

It is becoming more and more difficult to find relics, and there are fewer and fewer explorers. This kind of news of discovering relics seems to really only exist in the last century, history, and movies.

I never thought that it would actually appear in reality, just like the movie mummy has become a reality.

The mastaba is different from the pyramid. The pyramid is completely exposed above the ground. Although the mastaba also has a ground part, it is not a tall building in itself. Compared with a tall building like a pyramid, it is more like a bungalow.

If the location is not coincidental, after a few sandstorms, it may be buried under the ground.

What's more, some don't even have surface parts, and are completely buried underground.

When Bi Fang discovered this lost relic, those who were most excited were probably those archaeologists who studied the history of ancient Egypt.

It had been a while since he entered the ruins, and he had already seen a large circle of people asking him about the location of the matter, in various bullet screen languages, some of which he wouldn't even be able to understand if it wasn't for the system translation.

As for the excitement of the audience, let alone, they are excited about everything they watch.

It's just that through the screen, after all, it was not as shocking as being on the scene in person.

Watching in the video, I still can't personally experience the heavy sense of history.

Footsteps sounded in the empty corridor, and light and shadow swayed along with it.

While looking at the murals, Bi Fang also popularized some history about ancient Egypt to the audience.

The original pyramid was a combination of layers of mastabas. The mud bricks became a whole block of stone bricks, and the layers became narrower and smaller until the top was capped, so we can see that many pyramids are in the shape of steps. , and there are many interior rooms.”

[Is that the same with the pyramid outside? 】

[I always thought that the pyramid was destroyed or collapsed before it became a ladder shape]

[This ancient tomb is definitely not long before the Djoser Pyramid, and various details have been quite perfected]

[The Pyramid of Djoser, I have heard of it, it seems to be the first pyramid, right? 】

With the continuous progress of ancient Egyptian civilization, Egyptian pharaohs began to have higher pursuit of various sacrificial rituals.

During the reign of Pharaoh Djoser from about 2635 BC to 2610 BC, Pharaoh Djoser ordered his prime minister Imhotep to build him a new form of tomb different from the previous Mastaba.

Imhotep is a genius-level figure. After accepting the task assigned by the pharaoh, he began to devote himself to developing the design of the new tomb.

In the concept of ancient Egyptians, Pharaoh was the son of Amon, the sun god, and the agent and incarnation of God on earth. After the pharaoh died, his soul ascended to heaven.

Based on this concept, Imhotep began to design a ladder-shaped tomb, implying as a ladder for the pharaoh to ascend to heaven after his death.

The new mausoleum designed by Imhotep is based on the mastaba, but different from the traditional mastaba, the new mausoleum is composed of 6 mastabas, and the building materials of the mausoleum are not Instead of mud bricks, large stones were used instead.

Each tier of mastabas is smaller than the next, overlapping in steps.

The final work presented is the Pyramid of Djoser. The entire mausoleum is 62 meters high, with a base of 109 meters x 125 meters and six floors in total. It is the first stepped pyramid in history.

Unlike many later Egyptian pyramids, all of the interior space of the Step Pyramid is underground, including the large central shaft leading to the burial chamber.

The underground passages of the Step Pyramid are more than 6 kilometers long, and the structure is complex like a maze. This is probably the result of continuous experiments during the construction of the new tomb.

At the same time, there will be many blue bricks inlaid on both sides of the underground passage, implying that the pharaoh ascended to the sky after his death.

Bi Fang walked to the end of a passage, and saw a small step here, with a small platform above the step.

The platform is not high, it looks like a desk, I don't know what it is for.

[Weakly ask, do you have to know astronomy and geography to be an anchor now? 】

【Is such that】

[Do you have the nerve to come out as an anchor if you don't know eight languages? 】

Later, the pharaohs pursued more and more wonders, and the pyramids became bigger and bigger. The complex structure of the ground would lead to too many internal hollows, and finally the load-bearing was insufficient, and the whole was very easy to collapse.

Part of the bottom of Djoser's pyramid collapsed, so the layered pyramid became solid again, leaving only the corridor and the final tomb, and the overall appearance became very smooth, as if it were one.

The typical example of this kind of solid pyramid is Khufu, the largest pyramid in the world. It was the tallest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was built in Paris in 1888.

Bi Fang then walked through many passages. At the end of many passages, there were small tables like the one he had just seen, and all of them were in the north without exception. There were broken pieces of wooden boats near some of the tables.

Seeing these pieces of wooden boats, Bi Fang knew what the small desk next to him was.

It's just a small altar.

The ancient Egyptians regarded houses as temporary dwellings, and tombs as permanent dwellings.

During the dynasty, the number of mastabas gradually increased, and small altars in the north and wooden boats beside the tomb appeared one after another.

People believe that the dead pharaoh would take this small wooden boat and accompany the sun god across the entire sky from east to west every day.

This guy must be very rich.

The complexity of the mastaba depends on the owner's wealth and social status. The small rooms in the ground buildings represent the various rooms in the palace.

There are no hallways.

After wandering around the outside, Bi Fang entered the inside, and found that the rooms here are next to each other, extremely small, and there is no door.

Bi Fang was not surprised by this.

There are no corridors inside the Mastaba, as it is believed that the soul can pass through physical barriers unharmed.

Bi Fang also found a mound above the central tomb, which is not difficult to imagine evolved from the sand pile on the tomb before the dynasty.

In Upper Egypt, people would simply wrap the corpse with a reed mat or goat skin, and then bury it in the desert at a distance from the residents, and cover it with hillocks. The burial objects were placed around the dead, and later wood was used to make the tomb. the roof of the pit.

Although the sand mound was purely functional at the beginning, it developed into a certain religious significance, so it was preserved in the form of the new tomb structure. Perhaps the mound also symbolizes the 'book' that breeds life.

【Don't say something we don't understand】

[Book: The mound rising from the primordial waters in the creation myth of Heliopolis, the Creator God created humans, gods and the world on the mound. 】

[Where is the treasure, where is my treasure? 】

However, the mound as the foundation of the superstructure will cause the structure to be unstable. Later, after a circle of walls was reinforced around the mound, an inclined outer embankment was built against the outside of the wall, and the outside was made of stepped bricks. shell.

Bi Fang brought the torch close to the sand dunes, and everyone saw a shell made of mud bricks.

But unfortunately, Bi Fang didn't see anything valuable after walking around for a long time.

Although he didn't take it, it didn't mean he didn't want to see it.

Tutankhamun's golden mask is world-famous. If you can find a similar one, it will be an absolute honor. How many people will be jealous and envious.

Everyone who goes to the museum to see it will remember that this gold ornament was first found by an explorer named Bi Fang.

However, it's not hopeless. The most valuable items are usually kept close to the owner of the tomb. If you find the tomb, you might be able to find treasure.

As for the tomb, it should be further down.

In the darkness, Bi Fang held up a torch and groped carefully.

Another advantage of having a memory palace is that as long as you walk through it once, you can basically remember this maze-like tomb, and you won't go wrong at all.

After a simple exploration just now, the approximate route of the entire tomb has already clearly existed in Bi Fang's mind.

Holding the torch, Bi Fang finally found the entrance to the catacomb after some searching. He threw a stone, estimated the height, and started to walk down.

[By the way, why is there no trap here? 】

[Yeah, logically speaking, it shouldn't be that way, stepping on a stone slab, and then the mechanism is exposed on the side, and a row of arrows is shot out? 】

[I've seen this, and a huge rolling boulder suddenly appeared behind, and then pushed everyone to keep running away]

[What is this all about? 】

【Ah, I can only say that you have watched too many movies】

[Normal archaeology, generally speaking, except for poisonous gas, generally speaking, institutions are not considered, and those are all fictions]

[Ah, it's Professor Song! 】

[Professor Song, I don’t remember anymore]

[It is the history professor who appeared when Lao Fang discovered a new species]

I don't know if history is always accidental.

The last time the unknown area was discovered was also in the desert, and it was also Professor Song who gave the answer.

It's like some kind of reappearance.

Facing the audience's questions, Professor Song once again answered on behalf of Bi Fang.

[So far, we have not found examples of using crossbow bolts to prevent theft in ancient tombs, nor examples of using fire to prevent theft. 】

[These organs are basically imagined. Crossbow bolts must have tension when launching. Under the conditions of ancient technology, this tension cannot last for a long time, and it is impossible to use precise mechanisms to touch it to aim and launch. Even if there is, the iron smelting conditions do not allow it. It is guaranteed to be stainless for thousands of years, let alone ancient times. 】

[As for poisonous insects and snakes, it is even more unrealistic. In the enclosed space of the ancient tomb, how the poisonous insects can survive without food is a problem. 】

[The only problem is probably the poisonous gas problem that Bi Fang mentioned before he came in, but it is usually born after being buried deep in the ground, not artificially. 】

[Modern chemistry capable of synthesizing artificial poisonous gas was produced very late. Chemical weapons were only put into use in World War I, and were soon banned by all mankind in war. There were no chemical weapons in ancient times. Alchemists may occasionally find some poisonous gas, but they cannot continue to produce and use it in a targeted manner. 】

【Ah, thank you Professor Song】

【I always thought it was true】

It landed again, and the surroundings seemed to be even darker.

Just as Bi Fang set up the torch, a burly human male appeared in front of everyone.

The cold hair exploded!

Everyone is creepy.

No one expected that there was actually a person hidden in the dark catacombs!

Even Bi Fang took two steps back in shock, but then he realized something was wrong.

The man in front of him was motionless, not like a living person at all.

Looking closer with the torch, everyone realized that it was just a statue built in a pit in the wall, but the light of the fire was too dim and the image was blurred, which led everyone to admit their mistake at first.

After calming down, Bi Fang thought for a while: It should be the statue of the owner of the tomb. In order to protect it, it is usually hidden inside the masonry, but I don't know why, this one is exposed. I was shocked just now. Jump.

【Fortunately, it's fake, my soul is about to fly away】

【Fuck, I was really scared to death just now】

[It’s really too much torture without a flashlight, and the fire light is too weak, my heart can’t stand it]

【The heart-saving pills are not enough】

Just when everyone thought it was just a false alarm, they relaxed.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from above the tomb, spreading clearly, as if it was right in front of your eyes.
