Chapter 2897: God-like existence
The visit is still going on, and time is slowly passing by unconsciously.
There are more and more tourists pouring into the National Museum of Egypt, and the museum is even a bit crowded and noisy.
In addition to tourists from all over the world, among the crowd, there are some Egyptian antiquities policemen in civilian clothes, walking around and looking, seeming to be looking for someone!
Unfortunately, they never found the target they were looking for, and everyone was a little discouraged!
"Chen Fei, come and take a look. There is a statue of a cat here. It looks a little weird and familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it anymore."
Ye Tian was admiring a stone slab engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns. Lin Yu, a few meters away, suddenly exclaimed with excitement.
Obviously, this beauty from Jinmen is a cat lover, so she was so excited after seeing a cat sculpture!
It's no wonder that there are a few girls who don't like cats, such cold and cute animals!
Ye Tian turned his head and looked over there, then walked over.
When he came closer, he looked at this animal sculpture from ancient Egypt.
This is a statue of the cat **** Best in ancient Egyptian mythology. It is about fifty or sixty centimeters high. It sits on a square pedestal. The stone used for the statue and the pedestal is black marble.
The cat **** Best statue in front of me is slender, tall and muscular. It should be based on Egyptian cats from the perspective of body shape. It looks like the Siamese cat we are familiar with today.
At first glance, this Egyptian cat is sitting quietly on the pedestal, but its two front legs are stretched and straight, and its eyes are clever. It seems to be looking around, always vigilant.
The reason why this cat **** sculpture is a bit weird is because of the black marble stone used.
In ancient and modern times, black cats have been given some mystery by people, and even considered to be unlucky animals, they always give people a weird feeling!
Another point is that the eyes of this ancient Egyptian cat **** statue seem to be a bit joking, and there is a huge earring hanging on the left ear.
On the chest of this cat **** statue is carved an ‘Eye of Horus’ in ancient Egyptian mythology, symbolizing the blessing of the gods and the supreme sovereignty.
And between the eyebrows of this cat **** sculpture, there is also a scarab beetle that flutters its wings.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, scarabs are the amulet of the Egyptian pharaohs. They guard the pharaoh's mummies in the pyramids and protect the pharaohs from eternal life.
In many modern film and television works, scarabs are often considered to be a very evil creature, coming from hell, closely related to death, and one of the incarnations of the **** of death!
Because of this, Zhao Nan and Lin Yu felt a little strange looking at this cat **** Best sculpture.
Ye Tian looked at the statue of the cat **** Best, then smiled and explained:
"This is a statue of the cat **** Best, it's a kind of animal worship! In ancient Egypt, cats were deified animals. The ancient Egyptians loved cats intoxicated, and those who hurt them would be rebelled. death penalty.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, there was a goddess named ‘Best’, who often appeared in the form of a wild cat. Because the cat’s pupils that change with light are like the roundness of the moon, Best evolved into the goddess of the moon.
She is the daughter or wife of the sun **** Ra, and is regarded as the protector of the family. In some words in the pyramid, she is regarded as the mother and nurturer of the pharaoh, and the protector of female fertility.
The cat **** Best is also considered to be the patron saint of Egypt. Although she looks gentle, when invaders dare to covet the sacred land of Egypt, she will become a lion and defend the land of Egypt.
In Egypt, the worship of cat gods has always existed, and now Egyptians also raise cats at home. During your travels in Egypt, you will see many statues of cat **** Best, and hear many legends about cat gods.
The reason why you think this cat **** statue is weird is that it comes from a certain pyramid, is a funerary of a certain ancient Egyptian pharaoh, and it is carved with black marble. It looks a little weird!
Then there are some patterns on this cat **** statue, such as the ‘eye of Horus’ on the chest and the scarab pattern between the brows. In our understanding, these patterns are all related to death! "
Hearing this, Zhao Nan immediately said:
"Yes, Brother Chen, especially these scarab patterns, is chilling to watch. In the movie "The Mummy", the scarab beetles gushing out of the ground like a tide is really scary. !"
"Hahaha"
Ye Tian chuckled twice, and then said:
"I have also watched "The Mummy". That series of movies is indeed very exciting, but it is also very exaggerated. The description of scarabs is too evil and too powerful, even if they are indeed the guardians of the pharaoh's mummies.
Let’s go back to this cat **** Best statue. You are familiar with this statue for a reason. If I’m not mistaken, you saw a cat **** Best golden statue last year!
The golden statue of the cat **** Best appeared at a top auction in New York at the end of last year, and it was sold at a jaw-dropping price. At that time, the world's major news media reported this incident!
In addition to the gold statue of the cat **** Best, sold at the sky-high price in New York, there is a bronze statue of the cat **** Best in the British Museum, which is loved by people and is a top-notch cultural relic of invaluable value! "
Just now, Lin Yu suddenly said with excitement:
"I remembered that the golden statue of the cat **** Best belonged to Ye Tian. He led a team to discover on a German Nacui shipwreck in the English Channel. It is part of Rommel's treasure.
After the golden statue of the cat **** Best turned out, it caused a huge sensation at the time, and many news media reported it, including the auction later. No wonder it looked familiar! "
Before the words fell, Zhao Nan said with envy:
"I have to say, that guy Ye Tian is really awesome. Not only was luck to the extreme, but he was also extremely powerful. He found one place after another, and set off countless stormy waves.
To be honest, that buddy is a god-like existence, too long for us Chinese! Every time their company explores, I watched the live broadcast online, which is very enjoyable!
I heard that he has also come to Cairo to explore the legendary Solomon’s treasures and the Ark of the Covenant, and he lives in the Nile Hotel next to him. I don’t know if we can meet that buddy, and ask for an autograph by the way! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes showing a bit of contentment.
The god-like existence you mentioned, this will stand in front of you, introducing the civilization and history of ancient Egypt to you two guys. Are you surprised or surprised? Isn't it flattering?
Of course, this was just Ye Tian's psychological activity, and he didn't resort to it.
After admiring this cat **** Best statue~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ye Tian and the three of them turned and left, continue to admire other ancient Egyptian cultural relics and artworks displayed here, wandering in the glorious and splendid ancient Egyptian civilization. in!
In the following time, they followed the development of ancient Egyptian civilization, from the ancient kingdom period to the middle kingdom period, and then to the new kingdom, until the Greek and Roman rule, and passed through the entire ancient Egyptian civilization.
They wandering in it, like walking through a time tunnel, visiting and enjoying the glorious ancient Egyptian civilization thousands of years ago, and are deeply intoxicated by it.
During this period, Ye Tianjian might absorb some auras, and soon completed the task of replenishing the auras, and the auras in his eyes were almost overflowing!
The top antique cultural relics in the warehouse of the National Museum of Egypt did not escape his eyes. He used perspective to see them clearly and appreciated them all!
During the period, he also discovered some hidden and unknown secrets.
It's just that I don't understand the meaning of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and various symbols and decorations, so I can only forcibly write down those secrets and go back and study them slowly!
