Chapter 1102: Spread Rumors with One Mouth
He He finished talking about his question, and before Teacher Luo could answer, Wei Kang scolded him nonchalantly: "Xiao He, you are also a student of biology, or a graduate student, so don't talk about things that seem absurd at first glance. Well! There are cats in ancient tombs 4,000 years ago? They attack people? What a big joke! It’s obviously Hu Crepe’s! If others listen to it, what will they think of our biology department?”
Wei Kang can take care of his only female disciple in normal times and in private, but in front of Zhang Zian and Teacher Luo, two outsiders, his face is really hot.
On the other hand, the two boys, Gao Ke and Xiao Tianyu, listened with gusto to this kind of barnyard official and unofficial history, and found it very exciting. They even wished that they were there at the time and took a look at the cat that had been in the ancient tomb for 4,000 years.
Du Xuetao adjusted his glasses and said solemnly: "Is this impossible? A cat has lived in an ancient tomb for 4,000 years. What does it eat? Is there enough oxygen? How long does it live?"
He He immediately responded: "This is a cat from 4,000 years ago! Maybe it is a rare breed that hibernates and sleeps for 4,000 years, only to be awakened by humans who opened the grave!"
Her eyes lit up, and she said longingly, "4000 years! A cat accompanied the master, and endured 4000 years of loneliness in the tomb, just for the moment when the master reincarnated!"
Gao Ke and Xiao Tianyu, the two unprincipled boys, immediately agreed, praising such things as being loyal to the cat and protecting the Lord, and their friendship is commendable.
However, He He didn't appreciate it. He glanced at them contemptuously and said, "By the way, that's still a female cat. Even a cat can do this. If it's a man dominated by his lower body, it's probably 4 Nian... No, I couldn’t bear it for even 4 months, and I’ve already opened the grave and ran out to find a new love! So, men are big pigs, it’s true!"
Gao Ke and Xiao Tianyu flattered the horse's legs and couldn't help laughing awkwardly.
Zhang Zian shook his head secretly, and said in a low voice, "Occam's Razor."
"What? What are you talking about?" He He didn't hear clearly, but from Zhang Zian's expression, he didn't seem to agree with her.
"I mean, Occam's razor." Zhang Zian raised his voice, he didn't have to be careful with the other three boys, and said simply: "The road is as simple as possible, the simpler the better—rather than assuming that there is a A hibernating cat that existed only 4,000 years ago and is now extinct is better explained by a simpler answer — just another myth about ancient Egypt."
Wei Kang took the table and praised: "That's right! This is the scientific spirit!"
When it comes to ancient tombs, people always have a lot of wanton daydreams. Whether it is a tomb robbery novel that was once popular, or an action game that lasts for a long time, just having the word "tomb" in the name can at least increase the sales volume. Increase by 20%.
Since humans have not yet fully grasped the internal structure of the Great Pyramid, there are probably as many rumors about the Egyptian Pyramid as there are legends about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in China, and even derived news similar to "a man raped a 3000-year-old mummy and made him pregnant for 8 months" , The mummy mentioned in the news is an Egyptian mummy, but the mummy used in the picture is a Central American mummy. It seems that the news fabricated by a third-rate street stall magazine was exported to domestic sales.
"Besides, the pharaohs in ancient Egypt did not have the tradition of burying live animals. Otherwise, why did they invent mummies? In my opinion, it is possible to say that the cat got in through a crack in the tomb, but if it is a A cat that has only lived for 4,000 years...then I guess it should be called a turtle cat." Zhang Zian added.
Teacher Luo nodded and said with a smile: "This classmate is right. There is no record of ancient Egypt using living creatures to bury people. And please forgive my ignorance. I have never heard of the four thousand years ago. world, and if this Dr. Ma Su is a colleague who studies history, I have never heard of it.”
Zhang Zian didn't get along with Fina for so long, sometimes he coaxed her to be happy, or he saw how developed the world is today from the news broadcast,
It will disdainfully reminisce about how great ancient Egypt is and how long its history is. From its few words, you can learn something about ancient Egypt, even if it is better than historians who do not specialize in ancient Egyptian history. But at least better than ordinary people.
He also said: "In addition, 4000 years ago, that is, 2000 BC, the capital of ancient Egypt was being transferred from Memphis to Thebes. If there was such a pharaoh, his tomb must be between these two places. First, how did you get to the Valley of the Kings hundreds of kilometers away? At that time, the Valley of the Kings was still a wilderness. Which Chinese emperor was not buried near the capital when he was buried? It is also convenient for future generations to worship and have picnics convenient."
Teacher Luo was slightly surprised, "Has this student studied the history of ancient Egypt?"
"I'm not a classmate, nor a student here." Zhang Zian shook his head.
Wei Kang hurriedly introduced Zhang Zian to Mr. Luo alone, and explained that he would serve as a special advisor in this scientific examination.
Teacher Luo pointed at Wei Kang speechlessly, "Professor Wei, you are wrong. Someone in your team knows the history of ancient Egypt, why did you drag me here?"
Wei Kang also didn't expect that Zhang Zian could speak clearly about the unpopular ancient Egyptian history, which was a surprise.
"Mr. Luo, you're flattering me. I don't know much about it. I just know a little bit and know some common sense." Zhang Zian shrugged.
He He's face became hot when he heard this, because doesn't this mean that she doesn't even have common sense?
"It's enough to know some common sense, and you didn't do archaeology specifically. And don't be too modest, how many ordinary people can tell the time and location of the ancient Egyptian capital at will?"
Teacher Luo also breathed a sigh of relief. He was worrying about how to condense the seven thousand years of Egypt's history into a few hours. Since someone in Wei Kang's team knew some historical knowledge, it would save trouble.
"Hmph, I don't know if there is only such a little ink in my stomach, and it happened to be all poured out."
In front of the three boys losing face and being scolded by the instructor, He He was very unconvinced and whispered.
She remembered that Zhang Zian opened a pet shop, and also kept a suspected primitive Egyptian cat. Maybe he had heard of the legend of the cat shadow in the ancient tomb before, and he went to check the authenticity, so he could speak clearly , As a result, everyone else was bluffed.
Wei Kang didn't know much about it, he didn't know how much Zhang Zian knew about ancient Egypt, so he didn't dare to let Teacher Luo go back just like that.
Teacher Luo saw their thoughts, smiled and opened the book he carried with him, and said, "Okay, let me test you."
