Chapter 2901: Tutankhamun's Golden Mask
In a blink of an eye, time passed another twenty minutes.
Ye Tian and the others have come to Showroom No. 3 of the Tutankhamun Exhibition Hall, where the most important and famous treasure of the Egyptian National Museum, the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun is displayed!
Compared with the other exhibition halls and showrooms of the Egyptian National Museum, there are more visitors in the No. 3 showroom, and it has even reached the level of crowding. The exhibition hall is also more lively and a bit noisy.
The visitors who came to visit this exhibition hall were all for the famous Egyptian national treasure "Tutankhamun Golden Mask". The exhibition cabinet where the golden mask was displayed was also the most tourists around!
Ye Tian and the others were the same. As soon as they walked into this showroom, they walked straight to the bulletproof glass display case where the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun was displayed. Everyone was quite excited.
As for the other top antique cultural relics displayed in this exhibition hall, they were directly ignored. It is not too late for those antique cultural relics to be appreciated later, and the time is relatively rich.
On the way, Ye Tian did not forget to remind Zhao Nan of them.
"Zhao Nan, Lin Yu, the golden mask of Tutankhamun is Egypt’s most important national treasure. It is strictly forbidden to take pictures. When you visit, please do not hold up your camera or mobile phone to take pictures directly. You may be warned by security personnel or even be taken out of the exhibition hall. .
If you have to take photos for souvenirs, you must also cover each other secretly, avoid the sight of the security personnel on the spot as much as possible, and don't turn on the flash. Once the flash is discovered, it will definitely cause big trouble! "
"Understood, Brother Chen, we will be careful"
Zhao Nan nodded in response, and Lin Yu also nodded and stuck out his tongue lightly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Nan covered the lens of the SLR camera, but Lin Yu took out the phone and started debugging, as if turning off the flash function!
Obviously, this beauty is still a bit unwilling or lucky, and wants to secretly take a few pictures of Tutankhamun's golden mask with her mobile phone!
While they were talking, the three of them had arrived in front of the showcase of Tutankhamun's golden mask, and then lined up behind the other tourists, ready to line up to admire this Egyptian national treasure!
Around the showcase of Tutankhamun's golden mask, Ye Tian saw several familiar faces, all of which were members of the tripartite joint exploration team, experts and scholars, including the fellow David.
In fact, David had already seen him, only smiled softly, and did not come up to say hello.
Ye Tian did the same, a smile quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared without a trace, no one noticed it!
The team moved forward a little bit. Ye Tian and the others soon came to the bulletproof glass showcase and looked at the priceless treasure, the golden mask of Tutankhamun, displayed in the showcase!
This is the most famous golden mask in the world. It ranks first in the world's top ten priceless treasures list, on top of China's Simuwuding and Egypt's Rosetta Stone.
At the same time, it is also Egypt's most important national treasure and one of the most important symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization!
Of course, the so-called ten priceless treasures in the world are not recognized by everyone.
Because of different civilizations, people hold different positions, and the ten most valuable treasures in people's hearts are also different!
As far as the top antique cultural relics have been discovered and displayed in famous museums, in the eyes of Chinese people, Simuwuding is obviously more valuable and more cultural.
As for antique cultural relics such as the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and the Xia Yu Jiuding, they may be more valuable and precious, but they only exist in legends, or have been lost for a long time, so they cannot be counted.
In the eyes of the Egyptians, the natural golden mask and golden coffin of Tutankhamun, and the Rosette stele are more valuable.
In the eyes of the people of other civilizations and countries, there are also different choices. For example, in the eyes of ordinary French people, the most valuable works of art may be "Mona Lisa" and "Venus".
When Ye Tian and the others approached the showcase and saw the golden mask of Tutankhamun displayed in the showcase, just like all other tourists, they were immediately shocked by this legendary priceless treasure!
This golden mask is made entirely of gold leaf, embedded with a large number of top gems and stained glass. It is dazzling. Its height is about 54 cm and width is about 40 cm. The entire mask weighs about 12.2 kg, which is amazing.
The forehead of the mask is decorated with the **** of eagle and the **** of cobra, symbolizing the unity of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. The head wears a Nemel scarf and is decorated with a large number of strips of blue glaze and lapis lazuli. The chin has a columnar beard, symbolizing the world. God Osiris.
His eyes are piercing and energetic, and the eyes are made of obsidian and the white of the eyes are inlaid with white quartz.
Although buried deep underground for a long time of three to four thousand years, the eyes of Tutankhamun's golden mask are still vivid, and at first glance they look like the eyes of a living person!
Moreover, this golden mask is commensurate with the size of a real person's face, and is completely shaped according to Tutankhamun's facial contours.
When Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered, the golden mask was over the face of Tutankhamun’s mummy!
This golden mask is so exquisitely made, it can be called one of the most exquisite and shocking art treasures in the world, and it is also one of the most beautiful and incredible works of art.
Under the shining of spotlights inside the showcase, Tutankhamun's golden mask radiated a dazzling and extremely brilliant light.
Even Tutankhamun's eyes seem to have come to life under the light, looking at the world with contempt for everything, watching these fussy tourists in front of him!
All the tourists, including Ye Tian, were completely shocked when they saw the golden mask of Tutankhamun.
After a while, Ye Tian took the lead to wake up, but Zhao Nan and Lin Yu still looked sluggish.
Ye Tian didn't wake up these two guys to introduce them to the golden mask of Tutankhamun, but quietly admired this gorgeous and priceless treasure, and experienced the most glorious and splendid page of ancient Egyptian civilization with his heart!
The silence speaks!
The shock of Tutankhamun's golden mask itself is strong enough, better than any authoritative explanation, no matter how professional the explanation is, it looks so pale and weak in front of this golden mask!
...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for the National Museum of Egypt to close.
After a day of visiting, Ye Tian and the three of them reluctantly walked out of the world's top museum following the flow of people.
When he came to the courtyard outside the museum, Ye Tian couldn't help but looked back at the gate of the museum again, with a look that was still unfinished.
After a while, he turned back to look at Zhao Nan and the others, smiling and saying:
"Zhao Nan, Lin Yu, how do you plan for the next time? It's still early, do you continue to walk around Jiefang Square or go back to the hotel to rest?
As far as I know, there are some very good attractions around Tahrir Square, as well as some famous antique shops. If you are interested, you can go shopping with me! "
Hearing this, Zhao Nan and Lin Yu did not immediately respond, but looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Nan said with a wry smile:
"Brother Chen, we won't accompany you to visit the scenic spots and antique shops around the square. To be honest, after visiting this day, we are almost tired and paralyzed, and our heads are about to explode. I just want to go back to the hotel and have a good rest. I'm really sorry!"
Before the words fell, Ye Tian had already chuckled lightly.
Of course he understands why Zhao Nan and the others made such a choice, do you still have to ask, these two guys are obviously guarding themselves, lest they have bad intentions, and count them two!
Ye Tian didn't mind their reaction at all. Instead, he thought it was a good thing. If they have been so cautious during their foreign travels, there will only be benefits and no harm!
"It's okay, Zhao Nan, Lin Yu, since you are feeling very tired, then go back to the hotel and rest. Your body is the most important thing. I will stay in Egypt and Africa for a long time. Maybe we will meet again later.
I have been in Cairo and nearby areas for the past few days, and I am staying at the Nile Hotel next to it. If you have any trouble in Cairo or other places in Egypt, you can contact me at any time, and I can solve any trouble.
Even in other Arab cities in North Africa, I can help a little bit. Since we know one, this is a gift from me. By the way, I am very glad to meet you and wish you a happy trip! "
Speaking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Tian shook hands with Zhao Nan and Lin Yu one after another, and then told these two guys his mobile phone number!
After a few polite words, he turned and left the courtyard in front of the Egyptian National Museum and walked to a street not far away.
While turning around, he stretched out his right hand and waved in the air, walking very freely!
Seeing his leaving back, Zhao Nan and Lin Yu couldn't help being stunned, and muttered to themselves.
"Why does Brother Chen look familiar from the back? I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember it? Could it be that I am dazzled?"
"Who is he? Living in the best five-star hotel in Egypt, confidently saying that he can solve all the troubles, and that he is the entire Arab region of North Africa. Did we miss a great man?"
How did these two cautious guys know that this buddy who led them to visit the Egyptian Museum for a day is the most eye-catching figure in Cairo at the moment!
