Chapter 839: Opening the Coffin for Autopsy
In the dark corridor, light and shadow intertwined, and one figure after another fell down, and the flesh collided with the solid mud bricks, making a dull sound like pork falling to the ground.
The plastic flashlight was covered with sweat, rolling to the wall, covered with dust.
"Hiss!"
The three of them fell to the ground, and Bifang felt the pain from his finger bones.
Bifang shook his hands, squatted on the ground and turned over, and found a completely deformed and broken mobile phone from the fallen man. The mobile phone was almost broken into two pieces. In the blurred light, a complete fist mark could be faintly seen from the broken shape.
The other party stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket, successfully causing him some trauma.
[Wow, this is a punch to the phone]
[Fuck, my hand hurts]
[But it's useless, I have to lie down (funny)]
[This is too cool, what an invincible destruction punch]
[Hiss, one punch to a small Karami]
[I've seen a boxer in the past who was surrounded by a group of people in an alley. He also punched one by one like this. He was knocked down like he was dizzy. He fell down directly. It turns out that people are different]
[Turns out he's a little punk]
[The King of Meow gives the anchor meatballs*666]
[The tenth small horn gives the anchor bone*2]
Bifang didn't even breathe when dealing with three small Karami, which really made the audience happy.
Throwing away the phone, Bifang took two steps to the last man who fell to the ground. After checking, he was hit on the back of the head by a torch and fainted completely.
The good thing about wood is that it is soft in nature. Even if you can't control the strength in a hurry, it is not easy to smash someone to death at once.
Looking at the torches beside him, Bifang didn't pick them up, there were better ones here.
He picked up the flashlight in the corner, grabbed the corner of the fainted man's clothes, wiped the handle, and shone it at the corner.
Bifang's fist was so powerful that most people might not be able to recover in ten minutes. The two men fell to the ground, squirming subconsciously and humming.
When Bifang approached and illuminated the other's face with the flashlight, the scene of tears and saliva at the corners of his mouth scared everyone in front of the screen.
[Damn, so exaggerated? ]
[You would be like this if you were punched in the stomach by a professional boxer, hahahaha]
[There are more exaggerated things, Fang Shen's punch may be similar to some top boxers, did he avoid the vital points, this is going to go to the hospital]
In order to prevent the other party from recovering and resisting, Bifang pulled out a hemp rope from his waist, tied the hands and feet of the three people separately, and then tied them together. He was not in the mood to continue exploring, so he stayed where he was and waited for people from Egypt to come.
About half an hour later, a group of people carrying large and small bags arrived late, accompanied by members of the nearby police station.
Bifang, who had learned about it in advance from the barrage, got out of the narrow passage, calmed down the somewhat agitated Alpha, and saw several helicopters flying in the distant sky.
It can be seen how much the Egyptian side attaches importance to this.
There are a total of sixteen people, three policemen, and the rest are some university professors and professional archaeological staff. There is also the most critical Chinese envoy stationed in Egypt.
Looking at the personnel configuration, you can understand why the other party came so late. It is not easy to get so many people together. Many people were pulled over without even making sufficient preparations.
"Mr. Liao."
"Mr. Bi!" A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples held Bifang's hand and said with emotion, "I am also your audience. I have paid attention to this trip to the Sahara. It is really exciting. What I didn't expect is that a new relic was discovered. Let me introduce some. This is Professor Hassank. He is in."
Bifang automatically ignored the introduction that the other party was his audience and got to know the remaining people one by one.
After dealing with them for a long time, you will understand that this sentence is basically a polite remark. Whoever believes it is a fool.
At the same time, the police who followed also brought out three thieves who tried to break into the tomb to steal.
The hands of the three people were tightly tied with thick hemp ropes, tied together, and led by the police in the front. Everyone was covered with dust and dejected. With the pyramids in the distance, a sense of ancient Egyptian slavery came to mind.
It shouldn't be like this, but unfortunately the passage out is very narrow, so they can only come out one by one, so such a funny scene is formed.
[This sense of déjà vu is amazing! ]
[Why do I feel a little pitiful suddenly]
[Before stealing things, you don't even ask who Bifang is. You want to come to rob the tomb with such a little skill? 】
【To be honest, if it were me, I would also want to take a gamble. After all, if you take a gamble, a bicycle can become a motorcycle】
【Indeed, according to Fang Shen, this tomb existed before the pyramids appeared. It has been thousands of years. If you take out any item, you will have no worries about food and drink in this life. Even if you risk being beaten to death, I think there may be many people who want to try it. 】
Money is attractive.
The tombs of Egyptian pharaohs are generally very luxurious. In the past thousands of years, countless tomb robbers have frantically excavated the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and stolen a large number of ancient Egyptian artifacts.
No one will be indifferent when faced with a situation where they can easily make a fortune and are difficult to be caught.
The reason why Bifang can remain calm is not because he is a saint or a gentleman, but because he is already very rich.
Every quarter, the club is constantly making a lot of money. In addition to its own expansion and improvement, it has gradually begun to make back its investment.
Even if this is not taken into account, the daily live broadcast rewards are enough for Bifang to live a life without worries.
When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace.
After experiencing some inner drama, Bifang followed everyone to the entrance of the ruins.
A group of professors gathered in front of the dark entrance, communicating with each other. No one dared to go down, not because they were afraid of the Pharaoh's curse or were not curious about the things inside.
Those who can come here, not to mention the mission, are all very enthusiastic about historical research and archaeology, but inevitably, they are a little old.
Time is short, and everyone has hurriedly looked at the situation in the ruins before coming, and knows what is inside.
A long narrow passage is fine, and an old bone can still rub it, but there is a straight vertical passage behind the passage, which they can't stand.
However, these are small scenes, and everyone present has seen a lot, and they don't feel anything strange.
Some ruins are directly exposed on the surface, and some are just a small hole like now.
This was the case with the excavation of Tutankhamun. There was only a stone step cave, and then they dug slowly.
Starting from a small hole at the bottom, they climbed up along the winding mountain road and finally reached the top of the mountain.
After digging for several days, Carter and his team reached the twelfth step and found the entrance, confirming that it was a tomb built for the pharaoh.
In many cases, people have long known about some specific tombs and sites, such as the typical imperial tombs with tall earthen mounds like the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but more archaeological sites are not so eye-catching, and even in the literature, it is difficult to find traces.
Many sites may only have some broken pottery pieces exposed on the surface, and many are buried deep underground.
Therefore, the discovery of quite a few archaeological sites is very accidental, and many discoveries are related to human activities, such as digging wells, building roads, building railways, and repairing reservoirs.
For example, the Terracotta Warriors of China were discovered by farmers when they were digging wells, and the Tomb of the King of Nanyue was discovered when an apartment was built in the 1980s.
The second is the archaeological exploration and investigation of archaeologists, at which time some surveying techniques and experience will be needed.
Especially local chronicles and other books, which can give people a lot of inspiration about the local history, major historical events, customs and folkways.
Although Egypt and China are different, they are generally the same. These things all have a set of procedures.
Moreover, there are many Egyptian relics. The famous Valley of the Kings buried 64 pharaohs from the 17th Dynasty to the 20th Dynasty of Egypt. This is only located in a valley on the west bank of the Nile River opposite the city of Luxor.
Several white-haired old men looked at Bifang at the same time.
At this time, Bifang also put on more professional equipment brought by this group of people, dragging several ropes to get into the cave first.
After walking the original route, Bifang pulled the rope and sent a signal to the outside.
Then, one by one, people put on the buckle and descended into the ancient tomb along the rope.
Flashlights lit up one after another, illuminating the dark ancient tomb.
One of the younger assistants made a joke: "It seems that we don't need to light candles."
Everyone laughed at the same time, and only the audience in front of the screen stared at each other, confused, not knowing what everyone was laughing at.
[What is this? ]
[Don't be a riddler]
[Fang Shen explained]
[What are they laughing at? ]
"This is probably a joke, which comes from Carter, the archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamun."
Bifang explained, and he also saw the murals on the wall more clearly under the illumination of the flashlight.
"Carter not only discovered Tutankhamun, he also presided over the excavation of many pharaoh tombs."
"In 1917, Howard Carter, the manager of the Nubian ruins in Egypt, came to the Valley of the Kings in southern Cairo."
"Carter has been fascinated by the ancient Egyptian civilization since he was 16 years old. After years of research, he believes that in this place that has been robbed countless times, there must be unknown and unknown pharaoh tombs."
"So under the leadership of Carter, the team began to dig. At that time, the archaeologists in the team were preparing to excavate a tomb. As a result, they unexpectedly encountered a strange phenomenon-that is, they could not use flashlights for lighting, and could only rely on candles."
"Until one night in 1922, Carter noticed a small round hole on the door of an ancient tomb. He inserted a A lit candle, the faint candlelight penetrated the darkness that had been silent for thousands of years. "
"In the candlelight, Carter saw a six-foot-long stone staircase, and he immediately realized that it was part of a hidden underground staircase. "
"Here, Carter will begin a thrilling adventure, and dig all the way, and finally find a pharaoh's tomb that has never been visited by anyone. "
"That tomb is the tomb of the famous 18th Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the new king of Egypt. "
"Of course, I don't know if this is true. After all, a hundred years have passed since that time. Even the saying of the Pharaoh's curse can be spread so mysteriously. No one knows what the flashlight is. "
"But for professionals, especially the Egyptian archaeological community, it is also a familiar story. "
Carter has extraordinary significance and status in the Egyptian archaeological community, no less than Newton and Einstein in the history of physics.
[Okay. ]
[Now I can't keep up with the rhythm of the chat without some culture]
[Pharaoh, give me a brain as good as Fang Shen! ]
[If I can be so knowledgeable, can I still be single until now? ]
"The murals are very complete."
"There are no signs of damage."
"The humidity is very high, some places are blurred, but most of them are well preserved. It should be the water vapor leakage caused by the sinking later, otherwise it would have been blurred long ago."
"We are so lucky to find it now."
A group of scholars praised the furnishings in the tomb and were full of amazement, but they also refrained from rashly starting. The other few people also put on gloves and started their work.
Archaeological excavation is different from archaeological investigation, but it is also a means of obtaining physical materials based on archaeological investigation.
This is a complex and meticulous work, which is carried out according to certain procedures.
Generally speaking, there will be: laying the square - removing the cultivated soil layer - cleaning the cultural layer layer by layer according to the relationship of overlapping - unifying the stratum - cleaning the reserved part - completing various records.
Then carry out indoor sorting, transport the physical materials and record materials collected in the field work back to the workstation or the excavation team camp, and carry out systematic sorting, analysis of the age of unearthed cultural relics and other research work, write an excavation report, and finally hand over the physical materials to the collection unit.
The excavated ruins area will also be backfilled according to the actual situation, and some will be preserved in the original site.
Seeing everyone busy, the ambassador and Bifang couldn't get along, and chatted with each other.
After a while, several older scholars seemed to realize something, stopped working, and came to Bifang.
"I'm so sorry, I can't help but study these materials when I see them. Let's go to the tomb below to open the coffin."
As soon as these words came out, Bifang's mind moved.
It was just what he wanted.
Bifang himself didn't have much interest in these boring explorations. What he wanted most was to open the coffin and see what the pharaoh looked like.
Following the route in memory, Bifang led everyone forward, and finally came to a cave entrance and rappelled down.
Everyone landed one by one and turned on the flashlight.
Before Bifang came in, he encountered tomb robbers and the torch was not bright enough, so he did not look carefully here.
Seeing the real appearance at this time, even with psychological preparation, he was still surprised.
In this small room, there are murals everywhere, densely packed with thousands of furniture, utensils, statues, weapons, royal staffs and other unique and well-made funerary objects, all decorated with gold, silver, pearls and jade, luxurious and complete.
Everyone's heart was pounding.
This is another complete tomb that has never been visited by anyone!
And the most attractive thing is undoubtedly a square earth pit in the center of the room. The human-shaped coffin inside is almost like a black hole, attracting everyone who looks at it.
When the mammoth became extinct, the pyramid had existed for 1,000 years.
