Chapter 1138 Rectification of Name

Whether it is Gao Ke and others or Jack, the name Arsino II is very unfamiliar, and he has never heard of such a number one person.

"Jeff, Asin...how do you spell the word Nuo?" Jack asked, "I don't know how to translate it."

"Arsinoeii means Arsinoe II. I'm not sure if this pronunciation is standard, but that's what it means anyway." Zhang Zian said.

Jack translated his words to the shopkeeper.

The owner shook his head like a rattle, "Dear Chinese guest, if you are joking, this joke is not funny at all - I have never heard of the name Acinor II, let alone compare her with Cleopatra gets mixed up."

When Zhang Zian was talking, he had already used his mobile phone to search the Internet and found the owner of the name, and said: "This person's age is 200 years earlier than Cleopatra, and she is a queen in the early Ptolemaic dynasty. Existed in history, this full-length portrait is based on her."

"What evidence do you have?" The shopkeeper frowned, finally omitting the title "Honored Guest".

Zhang Zian pointed to the three fierce cobras on the front of the crown, "Pharaohs and queens in the history of ancient Egypt would wear cobra crowns, but in the early days there was only one cobra, and in the middle period it became two, and in the Ptolemaic dynasty, there were two cobras." It became three, so it can be judged that the real body of this full-length portrait must be a certain queen or queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and the scope of this has been greatly reduced."

"In addition, Cleopatra looks like this." He pointed to the fourth plaster head and said, "Although she is not the peerless beauty imagined by the world, her appearance has nothing in common with the third full-body portrait. The head portrait of King Arsino II was printed on some gold coins, and as long as a little comparison is made, it can be found that the facial outline of Arsino II is quite consistent with the third full-length portrait."

Everyone has a smart phone, and found relevant information about Acinor II from the Internet, and compared the gold coin with her face on it with the appearance of the plaster full-body figure. As Zhang Zian said, Acinor II was wide and flat. The face is far from the three-dimensional face of Cleopatra VII, and is closer to the appearance shown by the plaster full body.

Xiao Tianyu sighed: "If things go on like this, if ancient Egypt doesn't perish, the future queen might become a Medusa—a cobra with a head full of heads!"

Fei Na nodded slightly when she heard Zhang Zian's words, and felt that this servant did not embarrass her, but when she heard Xiao Tianyu's nonsensical speech, she turned her face and gave him a hard look, thinking that he was talking too much.

The facts are all there, and the shopkeeper is finally speechless—Although the Egyptians have all kinds of shortcomings, they like to deceive tourists, cheat money and sex, but they still care about face. Also nonsense.

"Haha! Distinguished guest, you are so knowledgeable! I, a native Egyptian, have been taught a lesson by you! As a thank you, I am willing to sell you the plaster head you fancy at the best price!"

The shop owner caught a glimpse of a European Caucasian couple coming to the shop door. They seemed to want to go in for a stroll, so he wanted to send Zhang Zian and the others away early, otherwise it would affect the business too much. After all, Europeans are the main force of consumption here.

Zhang Zian didn't believe a word of these Arab profiteers. Even though the shop owner repeatedly claimed that it was the best price, he still adhered to the principle of cutting half of the price upon meeting, otherwise he would not leave.

The shop was narrow, and they, a group of people plus a cat and a dog, blocked the inside, and the white couples outside couldn't get in at all. The shop owner had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and agreed with his nose.

Since the plaster statue is relatively fragile, it might have to be shipped back. Zhang Zian also asked the shopkeeper to use double-layer packaging, with sponge and waste newspapers stuffed in the middle to absorb the impact. Only then did he pay and leave with satisfaction.

"I didn't let you buy it, let alone forced you to buy it." Fina groaned.

Holding the heavy packing box, Zhang Zian said hehe, if he can't figure out what it means after being with it for so long,

Then he is still an ass? Since it is fixated on this plaster head and won't go away, it will definitely buy it. The difference is whether he buys it on its own initiative or it asks to buy it. It's better to choose the former wisely.

Of course, it is impossible for him to admit that he is intimidated, and he only said: "I have long felt that the store has lost some finishing touches after the renovation. Can attract more bourgeois girls!"

Fina was quite satisfied with this answer, and glanced at him, "Do you also think that she is not as beautiful as you imagined? A beauty that does not meet your human definition?"

Zhang Zian's heart trembled, this is a proposition!

If you go down the slope and admit that Cleopatra VII is really not very beautiful, just pick up a beautiful woman on Douyin and you can blow her up, not to mention Shihua, who has no dead ends at 361 degrees, I guess he will not be able to return to China alive ...

However, if he flatters her without thinking and insists on boasting that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, his fate will not be much better...

"Quack! Why is your face so dark?" Richard gloated, "There's so much sweat on my back!"

He was quick to gain wisdom, and said: "In terms of appearance alone, Cleopatra VII can only be regarded as an upper-middle figure in terms of modern people's aesthetics..."

Fina's expression turned cold.

He didn't dare to be secretive, and quickly added: "However, she in history is different from the rumors, and also different from that Hollywood movie. Her outstanding charm does not come entirely from her appearance, but more from her profound knowledge." Knowledgeable and intelligent, it is said that she has extensive knowledge of philosophy, mathematics, architecture and alchemy. As the head of a country, she is also proficient in nine languages. Both Caesar and Anthony are heroes of a generation, and it is by no means that they have never seen a woman Leng Touqing, they never lack beautiful women, if she is just a beautiful vase, how could it be possible to make these two great Romans fascinated one after another?"

"Gah? Are you talking nonsense, you idiot? Does she really know nine languages?" Richard exclaimed.

"It's true, not only can she speak nine languages, but she can switch between them at will during conversations, any of which is comparable to her mother tongue, Greek. In addition, she was supported by the ancient Egyptian people at that time And love, because she is the only person who can use the ancient Egyptian language among the ten generations of rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which is quite powerful." Zhang Zian said truthfully.

Cleopatra, the word "yan" caused her to be misunderstood and ridiculed.
