Chapter 700

[the king of Assyria heard about tahaka king of Cush, saying, "he has come out to fight against you." ——Isaiah 37:9]

according to the Old Testament, the Assyrians prepared to attack Jerusalem in the seventh century B.C., to raze it to the ground and make it desolate. Nubia and Egypt's pharaoh tahaka assembled a large army to the northern edge of their empire to defend Jerusalem from Assyrian attacks.

Tahaka sent a message to the king of Assyria to fight against him.

Tahaka was the first king of Kush who conquered Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty of Egypt.

There are two snakes in the king's crown, which means that he is the ruler of Nubia and Egypt.

……

Nubian pyramids are numerous and widely distributed.

Because of Zhou Haorui's search records, the first joint team went from Cairo, Egypt, to Shendi, where the pyramid group of meroeh is located. This is a small town in northern Sudan. About 45 kilometers southwest of Shendi, it is the ruins of the ancient city of Meroe.

However, the United team seems to be a few steps late once again. Deng Ximei and Xiao Xu are both feeling heavier and more chaotic there, but they find nothing.

Malloy is no longer the center of the event, perhaps never.

This took them a day. At the same time, the global flood and petrochemical disease epidemic situation have been out of control. Many regions have lost the rescue ability. They can only watch the collapsed cities submerged by the flood, and countless living creatures die in the dead water. Many regions also lost the ability to treat patients and make statistical diagnosis. Before that, the number of confirmed patients with petrochemical diseases in the world exceeded 1000 Million.

Ten million, that's not just a big number, it's 10 million people, countless families.

The weight of these lives is greater than the pressure of the flood, but the front-line staff can not stop themselves and immerse themselves in grief, they can only continue to go to the next place.

Karima, another small town in northern Sudan, another pyramid cluster, the ruins of the ancient city of napata are just northwest of Karima.

Karima and Shendi are about 400 kilometers away, further north. Before Malloy became the capital of Kush, napata was the capital of the 25th Dynasty and the center of worship of Nubia Amun.

If the ceremonial center of the little ram order is not in Malloy, it will probably be napata.

……

"The little ram church likes to quote from the Bible, and I don't know if it's just a metaphor, or if there's anything else.

However, there is a mainstream hypothesis in academic circles that "king of Cush" refers to tahaka, the founder of the 25th Dynasty, the king of Nubia, upper Egypt and lower Egypt. Because he sent out troops to fight against sinnahrib king of Assyria, the king of Assyria finally gave up the siege, and the Assyrians could no longer advance to Jerusalem.

Since the "ten plagues of Egypt", the little ram church has regarded itself as a Jew and compared us who do not believe in the God of little ram and black goat as Egyptians. So I think the founder of this order is probably Jewish. But it's not just that, because God can make children out of stones. The little ram believers are experts and professors who study ancient Egyptology and ancient Kushi studies, and they are very mature and prudent old people.

These people have regarded the identity of the only God as the god they believe in.

In this way, tahaka, king of Cush, who conquered Egypt, was a god of the little ram, just like Moses. We are not only Egyptians, we are so-called "pagans", so we are also Assyrians, especially Assyrians. Don't we, the frontline men, look like the Assyrians who are going to attack Jerusalem? And the unknown power, the crows Assyrian, too.

King Cush sent for the king of Assyria, saying, "he has come out to fight against you.".

But now, we come to the pyramid Tomb of tahaka, the "protector of Jerusalem". We just look around and find nothing.

in fact, I am not surprised at all, because archaeology is also a process like this. If you want to find a legendary site, you can't find it only by going to one place. You often have to work for a long time, and there is no valuable discovery in the end. Those little ram believers archaeologists are most familiar with this kind of thing, so they are good at playing this game. Although we have found the king of Gushi, they will not be so simple here.

But they will not be here, because if the king of Cush is really a God's envoy, they will not be here. This is the place where the kings of Kush came back and where Nubia Amun came from.

It is also in this space, 2700 years ago, people here called for Amun's name. But the time did not come, and God lost, they did not succeed, but left a special connection. The little ram needs that power.

It must be here, the Royal Cemetery of napata founded by tahaka.

Things have a beginning and an end. If it is not the first pyramid here, the tomb of tahaka, then it is most likely to be the last pyramid here, the tomb of nastasen.When nastasen was in power, it was already the fourth century BC. At that time, Egypt and Kush had already split again, and Kush kingdom was on the decline. After nastasen, the capital will move to Malloy. It also means the end of Kush's heyday.

Nastasen is a period, a watershed, an end.

Now, the little ram order wants to start anew. To make their gods come, they should start again from that end point. This is a continuation.

For these reasons, I infer that the place we are really looking for is the pyramid of nastasen here.

In addition, due to the rising groundwater level in Nubia, many of the tombs under the pyramids have been flooded. Nastasen's tomb is one of them, and the three chambers under its pyramid have long been submerged.

For many years, no archaeological team has tried Underwater Archaeology in Sudan, without the technology. Moreover, there are so many other sites in Nubia that they are busy, so they have not moved. But it's only on the surface. I don't know if the grave robbers have touched it. Apparently, it was only in 2018 that Christman, an Egyptologist and underwater archaeologist from the University of Arizona in Citi, finally led a team to move the tomb.

They dug out stairs leading to the underground, and reinforced the narrow tomb with steel chutes to prevent the rock from collapsing and trapping underwater people. After doing this, they dived to explore three tombs, and went to the innermost third chamber to see nassenta's sarcophagus.

They think that the underground water prevented the tomb robbers. The tomb has not been destroyed by human beings, but it is also because of the groundwater that many cultural relics in it have been dissolved. They have brought out some cultural relics, which are dilapidated.

I now suspect that the Christian team is a member of the little ram sect, because one year ago, krisman died in a strange car accident. Who knows if he is really dead? Professor Liu Jiecheng and Professor Zhang Zhang also died at that time. There are several other members of the team, before the outbreak of this disaster, were missing, not so coincidentally. Among the things they unearthed at that time, there must be something the little ram cult was looking for. In addition, only they have been to the three catacombs, and no one else knows what they have done inside. Because their cameras can be fake.

There is no doubt that the place is very dangerous now, even if there is no abnormal force, it is also very dangerous.

No one knows what kind of environment is underwater, whether it will collapse or not, whether there is something strange about it.

However, in the end, we must send death squads to explore it, because we can't blow it up as soon as we go. It may damage the ceremony, but it may also lead to other consequences. It is acceptable for the front line to sacrifice a few lives for the overall situation.

That's what I think. "

The scorching sun scorched the tombs, and the low and dilapidated pyramid of Kushi stood on the desert.

Xiao Xu said that, the childish face is still expressionless, breathless, but this may be the longest time he has ever spoken.

Lou Xiaoning looked at the child, stunned for a few seconds, the brain still needs time to digest so much information, "I remember you are not an archaeologist."

"No, I'm not." "I'm good at mathematics. Archaeology is just my spare time research," Xiao Xu said

All around them looked at each other, and they looked at each other. Feng peiqian really knew that there were still such powerful guys in the Bureau of natural science and technology. She wanted to stop saying: "when it comes to archaeology, of course, Captain Yu is good at But Xiaoxu, you're not bad either. "

"Xiao Xu has a point." Deng Ximei nodded and agreed.

And Hubbard Scott of the FBM of Citigroup confirmed Xiao Xu's information that the team of Christman has indeed been listed as a suspicious object.

"Let's go Lou Xiaoning waved his hand and glanced at the pyramid of tahaka. "What are we doing here? Go to nastasen tomb immediately."

She felt that her IQ was not enough. When did the child sort out these things? We all acted together. From Cairo to Malloy and back here, we stayed together almost all the time. No one got more information than others. How could Xiao Xu

But think of it, Xiaoxu is useful notebook computer query some information and FBM share information.

Now, the first United team immediately rushed to the pyramid of nastasen, which is not far away.

As many graves here are flooded by underground water, the logistics side has already prepared for underwater archaeological equipment, as well as the most advanced underwater robots and underwater guns.

As for draining groundwater, this cannot be done. The Nile River is next to the town of kerima, which was built next to the river bank and has a population of 14000. These people are now being evacuated and controlled. No one knows if there are ram followers in it.

Because of the existence of the Nile, this seems to be contrary to the common sense of the fact that the pyramids in the desert are covered with water.

Therefore, the groundwater of nastasen mausoleum is inexhaustible. Even if part of it is to be drained, the time it will take is not long for the front line to wait. The Nile River has begun to become turbulent, as if it was the eve of a storm.When the United team arrived at its destination and looked at the huge and dilapidated pile of earth and stone, and the staircase excavated by the Christman expedition leading to the tomb chamber deep under the pyramid, at the end of which was saturated with yellow earth water, the water was still.

It's just that there's no need for Deng Ximei and Xiao Xu to judge. As long as people with rich front-line experience feel that something is wrong.

That piece of underground water surface, faintly seems to have the dark color to flow through.

Li Zhenjing, Zhang Jingjing and other special operation personnel in the joint team also frowned.

"Deputy leader Li, you are responsible for reporting to Tong ye and conducting the routine tests of underwater robots."

Lou Xiaoning took back his eyes from the increasingly dark entrance of the underwater passage, looked around the people around him, and said, "ready to go down to explore the death squads. No matter what you want, there is limited space. A small team of about 12 people will do. "

The bottom surface of nasta pyramid is about 930 square meters. Although it is not big compared with the Egyptian pyramid, it is still spacious. However, because some parts of the pyramid collapsed, and there are also collapsed stones and mud, the terrain inside is narrow and complex.

What's more, there's a fatal point. All the underwater terrain information they've got is discovered by Christman's team What if it's not?

Therefore, this sub unit is one of the death squads. It may not necessarily die in front-line operations. If it goes down, it is really necessary to be prepared to die.

"Captain, let me go." At this time, suddenly a young voice came out, but Chen Jiahua was excited to rush out.

He blushed a little because of his excitement. He also knew that Gu Jun's tomb had been desecrated by the enemy. "I want to say something. If it's not right, I'll laugh. The uncertainty of this expedition is too great. You should not go directly to the building leader. You are all capable and play a more important role. General is different from Xiandeng. People like me should lead the way. If it's just a trap, death is just killing me. "

All of a sudden, everyone looked different. Uncle egg was a little anxious: "you young man..."

Not far away, Lin Sheng Bona did not speak, and did not want to go down.

"What kind of man are you?" Lou Xiaoning scolded Chen Jiahua, a little impatient, but not because he was angry, "still ascend the dead man first I was the first to die. Chen Jiahua, you have the seed, go and call your family; other people don't have to fight, I'll choose some directly. He's right. This team can't put all the main players in. Xiao Xu! I'm going down. You're going to be a temporary captain. You're better than me to be a captain

Lou Xiaoning's voice is coarse sand, a heavy has been pressed in everyone's mind, Xiao Xu said: "good."

At the same time, routine tests are carried out one by one.

Just as expected, before the underwater robot finished walking the underwater stairs, it disconnected the signal and lost contact.
