Chapter 733 Egypt
Hermione was very excited, which Fanlin could naturally see. Hermione had been very excited since the London Airport.
Traveling together is something I have never experienced before.
From the moment the plane entered Egypt, Hermione stopped reading. Instead, she took Fan Lin to look at the Egyptian scenery by the window.
The endless desert and the towering pyramids were all things that excited Hermione.
I have heard Ron talk about it before, but except for Ron, none of my friends have been there.
Although it is a bit hot in Egypt, the humanoid self-propelled refrigerator is fully activated and plays the most appropriate role, adjusting the surrounding temperature according to Hermione's adaptability.
Well, so the girl next to him was not affected at all. Although Hermione's face was red and she looked pretty, Fanlin still felt that it was better to be steady. If she got heatstroke, the car would be more likely to roll over. Completely.
However, the magnificence of those pyramids still made the two young wizards unforgettable for a long time.
Pyramids of different sizes are scattered in the fields of yellow sand. These mausoleums made of huge stones stand on the land of Egypt, displaying their magnificence wantonly.
They represent the majesty of the emperor. Whether in life or after death, these mausoleums made of huge stones serve as loyal protectors and the tranquility of the emperor.
Even in the distant high altitude, the magical aura from distant ancient Egypt still stimulates Fanlin's nerves.
It is magic that can prompt Egypt to achieve such incredible miracles.
Fanlin has special knowledge that Egypt began the pre-dynastic era from the Amrat period. By the second period of the Pre-Dynasty (i.e., the Gersaic period), Egypt's private ownership and royal power were established, and the image of the Horus falcon god, which symbolizes royal power, can be found in the unearthed cultural relics. In the late Gercean period, countries appeared, but with a small area and a small population. Afterwards, the countries continued to fight among themselves, and gradually unified into two countries: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt in the upper Nile River Valley area and the Nile River estuary delta area. Hieroglyphs also appeared at this time and were used for more than 500 years.
Around 100 BC, it is said that King Menes of Upper Egypt unified Upper and Lower Egypt, established the First Dynasty, and made Memphis (today's western suburbs of Cairo) the capital. He became the first pharaoh of ancient Egypt. From then on, the dynastic period of ancient Egypt began. . At this time, Egypt already possessed several basic characteristics of civilization, such as administrative officials, soldiers, religion, writing, etc.
Starting from the unification of the Menes dynasty, Egypt also formally established the system and title of Pharaoh.
As one of the four ancient civilizations, Egypt is also the only country where magic has established its dominance.
Every pharaoh is an extremely powerful wizard. It goes without saying that the power of ancient wizards is natural. As the strongest, in Egypt, the strongest is always the pharaoh, who has the royal power of Muggles and the divine power. The unification of the magical world.
It can be said that in ancient Egypt, the development of magic reached its peak, establishing magic as a symbol of royal power. This was probably one of Voldemort's wishes. Wizards ruled Muggles, and all Muggles could only become inferior people.
The pyramid is a manifestation of the pinnacle of this magic.
Just like the monarch of a dynasty, he ruled the dynasty during his lifetime and tried to conquer hell after his death.
Naturally, the pyramid was a palace prepared for their conquests in the underworld.
Naturally, as a powerful wizard, you always have to make a lot of preparations for unknown areas, which can be said to be a lifelong learning. Even if the pyramid has been developed, the unexplored areas still prevent the curse breakers from easily approaching.
Take, for example, the three famous pyramids.
They are located on the outskirts of open land and are home to the three most famous pyramids, the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure.
They were built one after another in chronological order.
The Pyramid of Khufu is the tomb of Khufu, the second king of the Fourth Dynasty. It was built around 690 BC. The Eiffel Tower was the tallest building in the world until it was built in Paris in 1888.
The second pyramid is the tomb of King Habra, the son of Khufu. It was built in 650 BC. It is meters lower than the former and is now 1.5 meters high. Because it is slightly higher off the ground, it appears to be taller than Khufu's pyramid. But the architectural form is more perfect and spectacular, with temples and other ancillary buildings and the famous Sphinx built in front of the tower. Except for the lion's claws, which are made of stone, the entire Sphinx is carved out of a huge natural rock. It has a history of more than 4,500 years.
The third pyramid belongs to King Menkaure, the grandson of Khufu, and was built around 600 BC. It was the period of the decline of the Fourth Dynasty, and the pyramid buildings began to corrode. The height of the Menkaure Pyramid suddenly dropped to 66 meters, and the internal structure collapsed.
Unified, the three Khufu pyramids were beyond the reach of the Egyptian people at that time, both in terms of architecture and the structure of the rooms.
For Muggles, this is a miracle, but for wizards, the information revealed from the three pyramids can serve a wizard obsessed with ancient Egyptian magic for a lifetime.
Not only that, each pyramid has a unique curse placed by the Pharaoh.
As for the curse, it can no longer be solved by magic alone.
Now, what Fan Lin knows is that only the Holy See and the Greek side have means to deal with this weird magic, but it is not as weird as African witchcraft, and the price paid is not small.
Burning the soul with the power of faith is a very dangerous thing.
If a wizard can't keep his soul pure, practicing magic is just a delusion.
When the power of faith burns, there is only one final result, and that is to completely change one's beliefs.
If a wizard does not believe in the magic wand in his hand and instead believes in some unknown god, it will be extremely difficult for him to make progress. The power of magic changes little by little, and the wizard's strength is controlled by the gods. There is a limit.
This was basically impossible for those ancient wizards to accept.
Therefore, apart from the fact that curse magic is still used by people on the land of Africa, other spreads are just some extremely simple things. In this pyramid, there is no comparison at all between the curses arranged by the Pharaoh himself.
Take Voldemort's Xuzhou Road as an example, to the maximum extent, it is nothing but death.
As for the Egyptian curse breakers, once they are cursed, whatever the curse says will really happen.
Like, death?
An extremely large number of curse breakers die in Egypt every year. Fortunately, the rewards offered by Gringotts are high enough. These wealthy goblins are at home in Egypt, a land full of treasures.
Regarding the Pyramid of Khufu, Fanlin also knows some more secretive situations.
Fanlin still remembers what Idun said. Regarding the selection and confrontation, if it is not clear in other places, it can be confirmed that in the Pyramid of Khufu, the most authentic means of combining wizards and gods of death can definitely be obtained. The most perfect interpretation.
This is probably why Dumbledore agreed that he would not go looking for Horcruxes at this critical time, but come to Egypt to learn alchemy.
For Muggles, the Pyramid of Khufu has no secrets except for the mysterious curse. However, according to the information Fan Lin received from Bill, the cracking of the Pyramid of Khufu has not even been completed, and Gringotts The goblins have already evacuated all the curse breakers.
This has almost become a forbidden place in the Egyptian magic world, a forbidden place that is completely impossible to approach. (To be continued)
