Chapter 1 Bones in the Ruins(1/2)
"Amun is the source of all causes and the ultimate destination. God loves the world. Whether it is good, sinful, rich, poor, the river of destiny rises and then ends, and will eventually sail to the only other shore." On the land of Egypt, an old man sitting cross-legged on the bridge, telling the legend of this great land seriously and devoutly.
A young man in his twenties, dark skin and wearing simple clothes, was squatting in front of the old man with a travel bag on his back, listening carefully, nodding from time to time, and asking some questions about himself.
...
In the eyes of Egyptians, the body is just a container of the soul, and death is not the end of life, but a new beginning.
Under Osiris' will, the soul enters the long river of destiny, endures the erosion of the long river, washes away all the sins and heaviness, passes through the underworld, and enters the only paradise of happiness.
...
"God loves the world and forgives all sins and evil."
Finally, Lin Hao stood up and bowed very seriously.
He was a professional traveler. His parents died early, but he left behind a considerable amount of wealth, allowing him to have food and clothing without having to work. Therefore, he spent all his time on traveling, traveling through countless ancient civilizations, and exploring unknown civilizations, as if only in this way can he feel the meaning of life.
This was his second time to come to the ancient land of Egypt, and it was also his second time to listen to the old man telling the legends on this land.
The legends mentioned by the old man are different from those passed down from the general ones, but like most Egyptian people, they believe that death is not the ultimate destination of life and firmly believe in the world where the soul is.
As for him, he did not believe it, but in this scientific era, he could not believe it all. Even when he thought that if there was indeed that paradise, it might be the place he had been pursuing.
Walking into a local hotel, Lin Hao put down his travel bag behind him, took out his clothes, and put on black full-frame glasses. After a while, he went from being a hot tourist young man to a weather-beaten scholar.
"It's almost done."
After looking around in the mirror, Lin Hao nodded, then took out a few things and walked out of the hotel.
"Sir, where are you going?"
“Giza.”
Upon hearing this, the driver was obviously stunned, but looked at Lin Hao's haggard and withered appearance and his worn but neat clothes, and his appearance was pedantic, and he suddenly realized.
Half a month ago, there was a further breakthrough in the archaeology of the Egyptian pyramids. In the lower layer of the Khufu pyramid, an archaeological team discovered some strange skeletons, and judging from the shape of these skeletons, it is different from any known creature on the earth!
This situation has caused a stir in the archaeological world before it was made public. Lin Hao relied on his special channels, but he also learned the news and hurried over.
...
"Stop the person coming!"
Without any suspense, several security personnel surrounding the outer circle of the pyramid stopped Lin Hao.
"Hello, I'm from the Chinese Archaeological Society. This is my business card and ID." Lin Hao deliberately acted like a scholar, touched a certificate from his body, and handed it out proudly.
"You wait."
Several guards took the ID, looked at it, and said a little apologetically, and then a person hurriedly ran in with the ID.
Lin Hao nodded.
Soon, an old man with messy hair walked out of it, just looked at Lin Hao, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but when Lin Hao looked over, he immediately came up with a smile on his face.
"Hello, a friend from China, the investigation of the pyramid is still in its initial stages. It is inconvenient to disclose the relevant information. I don't know what your country needs. We should try our best to meet our responsibilities."
Old fox!
Lin Hao twitched slightly, and without saying much, he took out another set of documents from his body.
"This is the document I applied to the consulate. It has been signed by the authorities and allowed our country to participate in the assistance of the pyramid inspection. Please check it out."
"consulate!"
The smile of the old doctor with a scattered hair froze immediately. He reached out to take the document, but he didn't even look at it, so he handed it to the young assistant behind who took the document and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Lin Hao smiled slightly in his heart, of course he knew that this assistant was going to seek truth.
He didn't care. Although the consulate's documents were fake, the identity of a member of the Chinese Archaeological Society was of course true. He traveled to many ancient places, which was also the only document he could easily get. Of course, with the speed of the Chinese Consulate's service, they wanted to get the result, which was impossible in a short time. This also gave him a buffer time. As for the consequences, he himself had professional archaeological knowledge. As long as it did not cause any losses to the remains, there would be no major problems!
"There are documents from the consulate, I wonder what Mr. Lin needs our assistance?" the old man asked, lifting the glasses on his nose.
Lin Hao shook his head, "You misunderstood. Our country does not want to interfere in your research and investigation. I just sent me to be a witness and see the unknown civilization. You will ignore me."
"Then Mr. Lin, come with me."
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Hao's uninvolved in their research, the old pedan's smile immediately piled on his face.
As Lin Hao walked step by step into the pyramid, the air gradually became dull and humid, even making people feel uncomfortable.
After a while, he walked to the entrance of the pyramid. A staff member next to him immediately walked up with a suit.
"Dr., your clothes."
The old man nodded, then turned to Lin Hao and said, "You need to make some preparations when going in. Otherwise, if you don't mention the tomb mechanism that you haven't noticed yet, just tomb poison is enough to eat a pot. Should Mr. Lin wait here first, or go in with us?"
"Get in." Lin Hao raised his eyes on his nose and chuckled.
"Prepare a set of protective gear for Mr. Lin." The old man was not surprised and ordered immediately.
The two of them quickly walked in. Although they were in thick protective suits, Lin Hao still felt a dull feeling, and the sound of footsteps walking on the ground was also a little creepy.
Although it is not the first time to visit this land of Egypt, it is the first time that he has entered the pyramids, one of the seven miracles of mankind. Not only does he not have that sense of fear, but he even feels a little excited!
...
There were not only Lin Hao and the other two in the pyramid. In addition to the old man, there were about a dozen archaeological team members surveying the remains of bones. Without time, they could still see the expression of amazement on their faces.
"Mr. Lin, it's here. If there is nothing to do, I'll do it first. Please do not destroy cultural relics when observing. Of course, Mr. Lin is also a member of the Archaeological Society. I don't need to remind you of this ideal." The old scholar stroked his white beard and said meaningfully.
"Dr. Ryan! Come and see here! A great discovery!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly started to shout from afar. When the old scholar heard this, he nodded apologetically to Lin Hao, and then rushed over.
Looking at the old scholar who was already very old and was still dragging his heavy protective suits over, Lin Hao shook his head, lifted his glasses, and then observed the beast bones scattered on the ground.
As for the "big discovery" there, although he was also interested, he would not really intervene after all. He was really just here to see it.
Lin Hao discovered that judging from the shape of the bones of these beasts, it is not completely correct. They are very similar to the bones of some ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards, but they are obviously several rounds larger. If it weren't for the evolutionary system of those creatures, he would even suspect that these bones are ancient species of these creatures, but now it seems that they are not.
Finally, he even saw one or two human bones from these bones, but what he couldn't believe was that although these were human remains, no abnormalities were seen in size or shape, when he tried to pick them up and observe, he found that these bones were so heavy that they could not move at all without his full strength!
"this…"
He couldn't help but be surprised. If there was such a creature four or five thousand years ago, it was like a human, but the weight of a bone alone was more than 100 kilograms, and it would be able to break mountains and crack rocks as soon as it fell. A collision would be like a chariot crushing. What a scene it would be? It was terrifying to think about it. Why would such a creature be buried in a pyramid?
"Mr. Lin, are you here? Please come here!"
At this moment, the excited voice of the old scholar suddenly came from a distance.
Lin Hao was slightly stunned, then put down the bones in his hand and walked over.
"Mr. Lin, I've encountered a great discovery. I don't have much research on the ancient culture of China, but if you look at this pattern, do you have any impression?"
Seeing Lin Hao coming, the old scholar immediately shouted excitedly, blushing, completely forgetting how he hated Lin Hao's arrival at the beginning.
Lin Hao was also stunned. He stepped forward and carefully expanded the scroll studied by the old scholar and others, but found that it was outlined with a mysterious star map. However, he did not look closely. Instead, he followed the guidance of the old scholars and the other ones, his eyes moved down and fell to the signature of the star map, and his eyes suddenly shrank!
There is no signature, but there is a boxing-sized gossip pattern!
A story about the Bagua diagram immediately emerged in Lin Hao's mind. According to legend, Fuxi, the first ancestor of China, once watched the white turtle by the pond for three days. He suddenly realized that he opened the yin and yang poles of heaven and earth, and finally developed the Bagua.
This is a civilization belonging to China!
The Egyptian pyramid was built around 2,700 BC, and it is nearly 5,000 years old. It is the beginning stage of Chinese civilization, and even before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the early ancestors of China were active!
It coincides in time, but... something from the ancient Chinese civilization era appeared in the Egyptian pyramids?
Did it be that as early as that period, the two ancient civilizations had already possessed the power across the continent and had intersections between civilizations?
Thinking of this, even some of the previous cognitions began to be broken, Lin Hao even felt a little trembling inside, and suddenly he felt that his mind was a little lacking!
"How is this? Is this the gossip diagram in your Chinese civilization?" At this moment, someone asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao came back to his senses and looked serious. He knew that no matter whether his guess was correct or not, once this matter was confirmed, it would undoubtedly be a magnitude ten-magnitude earthquake in archaeological history!
But he was about to answer when suddenly a terrifying scream came from afar!
"Not good! Go out quickly!"
The old scholar and others' expressions changed suddenly, and they didn't even bother waiting for Lin Hao's answer and were about to evacuate out immediately.
Everyone knows the strangeness in the pyramid. Even if they care about unknown civilizations, they will not joke about their lives.
But a young man froze as soon as he raised his legs.
"Xiao Jin!"
The old peddler shouted, but the young man did not respond at all. After a while, a wisp of black smoke began to overflow from his protective clothing.
At the same moment, not only him, but also several archaeologists who had originally surrounded here froze. Even the old scholar who saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, after running four or five steps, stood there motionless, with a look of fear on his face. Widths of black smoke overflowed from their protective suits, becoming thicker and thicker, gradually as if he was about to fill the entire tomb!
Lin Hao was still in place, his face still filled with horror.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to move, but he doesn’t dare to!
He could see clearly from the side that the bodies of these people just now had froze in place because they touched the black smoke. Even from his perspective, the people in the protective clothing had already become a pile of decay.
"not good!"
At this moment, he suddenly saw a wisp of black smoke shooting towards him. In a hurry, he had only had time to raise the scroll in his hand to block it!
Here—
