Chapter 651

[the priests will offer you sacrifices, and the priests will open their arms to you with offerings from the earth, just as they will give Imhotep all the water left in the water bowl. 】

- a tombstone from the reign of Amenhotep III (1391-1353 BC)

stone, disease, medicine, birds

Alderman's face was changeable. The deeper the wrinkles on his forehead, the more like a gully, "you mean, you mean Imhotep? "

"Yes, George, that's what I think." After a long pause, he read out the taboo: "Imhotep."

Imhotep, one of the only two civilians in Egyptian civilization to be deified after death, is amunhotep, the son of hap.

Written in holy script, Imhotep's name is: ????????????????????????

it means the person who makes peace.

"You see, Imhotep's name has a bird, owl, which is the symbol of his name." "Imhotep is the God of medicine in ancient Egypt, and Imhotep is also a great architect. He presided over the construction of the trapezoidal pyramid of sakara - the first stone head building in human history, and he is the inventor of stone architecture."

"Harry, you really remind me, Imhotep..." Murmured Edwin, his eyes a little straight as he looked at the holy text again.

"What's more, Imhotep was the first to take out the internal organs of the dead and make them into mummies. I don't know if it makes sense to think like this, but without the viscera, the skin will rot, and in the end, there will be only some bones left? Imhotep's understanding of eternity and immortality is inseparable from being like a stone. "

Futner said some of his ideas, and in his heart, some of the archaeological knowledge about Imhotep is constantly turning.

Imhotep was the Prime Minister of the Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt in the 27th century BC.

According to legend, zoiser once dreamt that he was walking on a ladder extending to the sky. When he woke up, he asked Imhotep to build a tomb that could lead to the sky. Before that time, Egyptian civilization did not have the staircase pyramid that modern people are familiar with, and the tomb of the pharaoh was just a huge rectangular mud brick mound.

Imhotep designed and presided over the construction of the first true Egyptian pyramid, namely the zusser pyramid. Although compared with the later pyramid of Khufu and other colossal objects, this 62.5-meter-high pyramid is simple, but it is indeed the beginning of the pyramid and the beginning of stone architecture.

This is Imhotep's great performance in architecture, but the later Egyptians revered him in medicine.

He founded the first medical school in history, which was 2000 years earlier than Hippocrates, the father of Greek civilization.

In modern times, there is no direct archaeological evidence to show that Imhotep was a doctor, or how to see a doctor to save people. However, in the thousands of years of Egyptian civilization, he was gradually worshipped and deified. More than 1300 years after his death, a tombstone inscription of Amenhotep III in the New Kingdom period - this is the first one unearthed by modern people directly referring to Imhotep A literal proof that he is already a God. More than 2200 years after his death, in the 30th Dynasty of Egypt, a large number of relevant papyrus and statues proved that he had the ability of medicine and treatment.

The center of worship of Imhotep is in Memphis, which is very, very far away from here, but the world has never been able to find the tomb of Imhotep.

"Imhotep so what? Huri, don't you think it's the bowl of Imhotep's grave? Or a bowl of water to worship Imhotep? "

Edwin's exhilaration at the first hint of suspicion was immediately replaced by more clutter and greater impatience.

Without waiting for futner to say anything, he said, "it's impossible. Paul has investigated the sellers. They are just a few small characters. They don't have the ability to smuggle cultural relics from Memphis and zussel pyramid. They should have found a small tomb near the city. And, you see, these birds, not owls, look like I don't know what to say, but they're not owls... "

"George, owls are Imhotep, but these birds can be Imhotep's followers, or they can also be doctors."

"How do you explain geography? How to explain this sentence? "

Fotner saw that his old friend was almost out of control. He was not at all like the old doctor in the abyss of knowledge he knew.

"Calm down, calm down!" Fauthner called out, "George, listen to me slowly."

He wanted to finish the discussion. He really had to persuade the old friend to have a good rest and take some sleeping pills. Otherwise, it would not work.

But when he went to look at the four pieces of pottery, he felt the impact of "strange attraction" again

"I didn't say it was Imhotep's burial object, it didn't look like an admirer of Imhotep, but it was a bit like his enemy, the rebel. Imhotep was the Prime Minister of the Pharaoh and the high priest of the sun god. It's true to the first Holy Scripture. "Love Devon listen and impatient, the blood in his eyes almost ferocious, "the key is the second sentence! Huri, the second sentence only affects the meaning before and after, stone and disease, so it is Imhotep? If you want to express this person, why don't you just hit the owl? "

"In my opinion, stone means pyramid!" Fauthner had to speak a little louder, "the first stone pyramid."

Edwin frowned and stopped, and fauthner's fingers touched the fragment of the stone character, as if to go back to ancient times.

"My friend, we modern people still don't know how the ancient Egyptians built pyramids? So many huge stones, with the level of technology and construction at that time, what should we do? Even the zussel pyramid must have been built very hard, requiring a lot of manpower, a lot of materials and a long time. You also know that the first stone pyramid could not have been built without Zoroaster's decades of rule. Such a grand project can bring down a kingdom. There are too many such examples in the history of human civilization. What kind of attitude would the common people, even the ruling class, have towards this project? If there is support, there will be opposition. "

Edwin's face changed again, and he was a little disillusioned, "rebel The catastrophes caused by stones... "

"In the eyes of some rebels, isn't this project stone + disease? It does kill a lot of people. Imhotep is the God of medicine, but in the eyes of the rebels, he is the bringer of disease. We should kill Imhotep and other "birds" and build a new world ruled by Amun. "

"That's a little bit of a thought for me. There might have been an uprising that failed, and the rebels were executed and expelled," he said

"Yes My friend, you have a point... " Murmured Edwin, "but I always feel that something is wrong, something doesn't make sense I feel it's not clean, it's not just Huri, when you look at this line of Scripture, don't you Even a little bit, inexplicably... "

Edwin, with his bloodshot eyes open, looked at Fortner. "Scared?"
