Super Military Scientist
Chapter 1254: Visit the temple
However, after seeing the tourist promotion of the pyramids in Egypt, he also took a plane and traveled to the pyramids with some domestic tourists. After all, he has not been to the Pyramid Scenic Area yet! I heard that there are not many tourists in this world's most famous scenic spot, and the tickets are not too expensive, so he visited the pyramids in Egypt at his own expense during the summer vacation this year.
This young man is a good young man who is diligent and hardworking. Although his family is also rich. But people work on their own, making money as a tour guide to support their own university. Even if they travel abroad this time, they also earn money by themselves.
These foreigners blushed immediately upon hearing this young Chinese man's words. However, they no longer need to be afraid of anything. They picked up their phones one after another and were shooting this flying saucer car in the sky!
Before, the middle-aged foreigner who was hiding under the shade of the tree came out again. He also picked up the phone and took a picture of the flying saucer car flying in the sky.
Besides, Zhao Zhongyao has no interest in the actions of these people on the ground. His interest lies in the Temple of Amon not far away!
Soon, Zhao Zhongyao flew over the Pyramid Scenic Area, and then accelerated slightly towards the Temple of Amon. Although the Pyramid Scenic Area is hundreds of kilometers away from the Temple of Amun. But for a flying saucer car, this distance is the same as no distance.
The Temple of Amun is located 4 kilometers north of Luxor Town. It is the main part of the Karnak Temple. It is dedicated to the main **** of Thebes, the sun **** Amun, which was built in the Seventeenth Dynasty more than 3000 years ago. After more than 1,300 years of continuous additions and extensions, there are 10 majestic gate towers and 3 majestic halls.
The stone pillar hall of the Amun Temple is the most famous. There are 134 huge pillars that can only be held by six people, each of which is 21 meters away. It is said that a hundred people can stand on top of each pillar. And for the number of 134, Bruce Lee explained two theories: one is that the father and son two generations of kings each have been in power for 67 years, and the total is 134 years, so it is 134 huge pillars; the second is from the first king to Ramses II. There are 134 kings, so 134 huge pillars were erected. However, none of these pillars fell over 3000 years, which is amazing.
The pillars and walls of the temple are engraved with exquisite reliefs and brightly colored paintings, which record the myths and legends of ancient Egypt and the daily life of people at that time. In addition, there are also famous obelisks and statues of pharaohs and concubines in the temple.
How the huge obelisk was mined and erected. This is also a mystery. It’s like the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in the history of China wanted to build a huge piece for his father Zhu Yuanzhang
The monument of merit was ordered to find a monument that met the standards in Yangshan, which had already taken shape. Later, for some unknown reason, the subsequent production was abandoned and abandoned in the wilderness.
The ancient Egyptians may use the same method to select and use materials. They do not have today's technology and equipment, nor do they have today's Internet, but their heroes have similar views, and the methods are similar in the same way.
This has to be awe-inspiring and admired! On the north side of the Temple of Amun, there is a small platform for a stone beetle, which is said to be a transformation of the **** Amun.
Walk three times clockwise around the weathered Beetle statue to pray for a good marriage, and walk seven times to get promoted and fortune. Next to the Beetle, there is an upper section of a broken obelisk, which is said to be a monument to the goddess.
Egypt is a patriarchal society, and it is impossible for women to lead men. The queen said that she was the daughter of the sun god, and the sun **** asked her to exercise power, thus becoming the ruler.
This is exactly the same as China's "son of emperor". The pattern on the pointed head of the stele clearly engraved the story of the daughter of the sun god. I saw the "daughter" facing the sun god, and the sun **** lovingly stroked the back of the "daughter" with his hand, as if telling it what. Is it "you do things, I can rest assured"?
Luxor Temple is 3 kilometers away from the Temple of Amun. This is an affiliated temple of the Great Temple of Amun. In the past, it was connected to the Karnak Temple by the Sphinx Shinto. The Sphinx and Shinto were destroyed by some unscrupulous elements and Arabs, and the damage was very serious. Due to time issues, we did not enter this small temple, but simply took a look outside, and we can imagine the grandeur of the year.
But what is surprising is that there will be a mosque minaret emerging from the south of Luxor Temple. Looking closer at the mosque, the decoration at its entrance is very beautiful. In the temple, you can still see the ruins of the Christian church.
It is rare to see the coexistence of the ruins of ancient Egypt, the Egyptian architecture and the Christian church. Although some of these have become ruins, it also illustrates the fact that Luxor Temple is still used by the people after the end of the Ancient Kingdom.
Before I went to Egypt, the most I wanted to see was the pyramids. The pyramids are so famous. If you don’t see the pyramids in Egypt, you have never been to Egypt. Indeed. But when you actually arrive in Egypt, it takes less than half a day to look at the pyramids. Generally, you just take a quick glance and take a photo. Expectations are too high, there will always be a gap, and there is still a gap with what you previously imagined, but you still feel it really, seeing the real pyramid, this moment will never be unforgettable.
But during the trip to Egypt, the pyramids are just a prologue, and the good show is yet to come. The scenes that advance and climax one after another are the ancient Egyptian temples, and the soothing episodes in the middle are the Nile and the Red Sea. All the temples in Egypt are shocking to you, but unfortunately there is no time to take a closer look. The most shocking thing is the Karnak Temple that you saw last, which is the largest temple in Egypt and the world.
In the meantime, it was like being in a forest with huge stone pillars. The Egyptians used stone to create history four or five thousand years ago. The vicissitudes of thousands of years cannot obliterate it. Let us have the privilege of passing through the tunnel of time to feel it.
In China, apart from the Great Wall, ancient buildings from one to two thousand years ago are hard to see, because most of our ancient buildings are made of brick and wood, and it is difficult for us to feel their magnificence and beauty. Depends on the history and monuments, Egypt is still worth visiting, it is definitely worthwhile.
Zhao Zhongyao is now driving a flying saucer car, flying over pyramids of various sizes, and he arrives at the Karnak Temple, where the famous Temple of Amun is located. It is more than 700 kilometers away from Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
The entire site of the Temple of Amun, north of the Egyptian city of Luxor, is a magnificent ancient temple left over from the ancient Egyptian empire.
When Zhao Zhongyao drove a UFO to this famous temple of Amun, it was when there were more tourists. When everyone saw that a flying saucer fell from the sky, they felt very curious.
However, many of these tourists came from the pyramid. After all, when traveling to Egypt, in addition to seeing the pyramids, it is to see these ancient Egyptian temple ruins.
These tourists saw that Zhao Zhongyao had arrived here again in a UFO car, they immediately came to the UFO car, then took out their mobile phones, took pictures of the UFO car, and hurried over to stand next to the UFO car and take a photo with the UFO car. .
But Zhao Zhongyao was not interested in these things. After he parked the flying saucer car, he took his wife and children to the huge temple building.
The first thing I saw was some standing statues of Ramses II.
Ramses II was the 19th dynasty pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. He tried to restore the empire of Thutmose III and launched a large-scale war of conquest of West Asia. In 1299 BC, the Hittites fought a decisive battle in Kadesh and signed a peace treaty.
Ramses II made great efforts to build or expand temples and palaces in Egypt and Nubia, praising his military exploits. Ramses II ruled Egypt for 67 years. He was the pharaoh with the longest rule and the greatest influence in the history of ancient Egypt. It marked the peak of the power of the Egyptian empire.
In the face of such an outstanding ancient Egyptian pharaoh, apart from admiring his power and exploits, we also want to thank him for leaving us with so many temple ruins. If it weren't for Ramses II's great construction. It is impossible for us modern people to see so many ancient buildings in Egypt.
After seeing the standing statue of Ramses II, we came to a huge obelisk. Regarding the obelisk, it is also very story.
The obelisk in front of you was erected by Queen Hatshepsut, the first queen in the world and the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt. It is 29 meters high and weighs 323 tons. It is the tallest obelisk at that time. Now the highest obelisk in Egypt.
Queen Hatshepsut is the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I, who founded the new kingdom of ancient Egypt, the half-sister and queen of Pharaoh Thutmose II, and the aunt of Pharaoh Thutmose III. , Aunt and mother-in-law.
Since childhood, the queen has ambitious and strong temperament, determined to be the supreme ruler of all Egypt. During the ruling of Pharaoh Thutmos II, assisted by her husband, she was keen on court and coveted the power of the country. After the death of King II, due to the secular pressure of women not being a pharaoh, the queen had to support her own bastard, Thutmos III, who was only 9 years old, to become a pharaoh.
Helpless III is also a generation of British lord. When things were longer, he was unwilling to be a puppet and was ready to move. The queen was unwilling to be reconciled, so she deposed King III and drove him to the Karnak Temple to become an ordinary priest, and then she was crowned the ultimate.
In order to cater to the gods, the queen spent 7 months quarrying stones from Aswan to make the two largest and tallest obelisks in Egypt at that time. They were transported 150 kilometers along the Nile River and stood in this largest and most sacred place in Egypt. In his temple, dedicated to the sun **** Amon, and inscribed on the stele saying that he is the daughter and son of Amon, to prove his legitimacy of inheritance.
But since ancient times, human history has always been full of dramatic scenes. Twenty-two years later, Thutmose III, who was demoted to the temple as a priest by the queen, relied on the power of the temple priests to launch a coup and regain the throne.
The third hated the queen for deposing herself, and carried out a comprehensive liquidation of the queen across the country. All places with the queen's name and statue were erased, and all the buildings built by the queen were destroyed.
What is extremely interesting is that Thutmose III did not destroy the temple that the Queen had built for himself on the west bank of the Nile, nor did he tear down the two obelisks the Queen had built here. Instead, he built high walls to block them. A section of 4 meters high was left at the top, with words praising Amon God.
As a result, the occlusion of the high wall better protected the Queen’s obelisk. When the high wall fell later, people discovered that the Queen’s obelisk was not weathered, damaged, almost intact, and could be at the top. I can clearly see the marks hidden by the high walls at that time.
It's just that another obelisk has broken and fell in the corner of the temple, silently telling people that history full of love and hatred.
In the morning, the red sunlight seemed to originate from the obelisk in the Karnak Temple. The light climbed through the tall gate, first the large lotus column that was dyed red in the "blooming" multi-pillar hall, and then projected on the temple of Ramses III.
It is foreseeable that in a while, the sunlight will move to the neatly arranged heads of the Sphinx. It is one of the incarnations of Amon Rashen. Under each head of the Sphinx stands a small pharaoh. Accepting the blessing of God.
As the largest temple in Egypt, Karnak Temple gives people the feeling of exaggeration, not to mention that the gate is huge and heavy, and the statue is tall and straight. Even the 134 columns in the multi-pillar hall are 22 meters high. More than 100 people can stand on the top of each "blooming" lotus column.
The most amazing thing is the obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, which is 30 meters high and weighs 320 tons. I don’t know how it was separated from the mountains of Aswan and how it was erected in the Karnak Temple. of.
The ancient Chinese literati pursued the state where the language is not astonishing and endless, while the ancient Egyptians have achieved that the tower is not astonishing and endless and the temple is not astonishing and endless. The Karnak Temple is so famous not only because of its magnificence, but also because of its architectural elements, such as the large column and axis design, which have successively influenced Greek architecture and world architecture.
Zhao Zhongyao took his wife and children to explore the ruins of the Temple of Amon to their heart's content. Feifei and Tiantian were also very curious about this temple of Amon. They both asked their dad a lot while playing. Mainly about this temple of Amun.
Zhao Zhongyao always had to answer the questions of the two children, as if he were the tour guide of their family. There is nothing he doesn't know.
The family played for a while and felt a little tired, so they wanted to find a place to rest. Zhao Zhongyao saw a relatively secluded place ahead, so he took his wife and children to a pillar hall with many pillars.
Each of these pillars is more than twenty meters high. It is more than one meter in diameter and looks very spectacular.
