Chapter 1890： 2 pairs of statues

Since ancient times, people have said that there are many treasures in the Great Pyramid, but because they don't know where the entrance is, no one can enter the pyramid.

According to records, the first to enter the Great Pyramid was the Egyptian Caliph Almamun in 820 AD.

The Alma Mengmen used the method of blasting the stone to open a passage and enter the Great Pyramid. During the excavation, they accidentally discovered the original passage and surveyed some internal structures.

Regrettably, when they worked so hard to reach the "royal house", they only saw an empty sarcophagus, and none of the celestial maps and treasures Almamun dreamed of.

In 1682, the Englishman John Gripps measured the Great Pyramid and calculated the total weight of the piled stones.

In 1765, another Englishman, Nathaniel Davidson, noticed that there was a strange echo when speaking to the royal family. As a result, he discovered that there was still space above the royal family. This is the structure now called the "weight loss room".

At that time, any news about the Great Pyramid could cause a sensation. In fact, no matter what era, the mystery of the Great Pyramid strongly attracted people.

Standing on the north side of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, looking down from the top, you can see the entrance and exit of tourists, that is, the tunnel entrance opened by Almamun.

Walking into the tunnel opened by Almamon, you will soon come to the original passage, and then going forward is a climbing passage, where there are three pieces of about 5 tons of granite blocking the way.

Back then, Almamen and his entourage could not pass through here, so they had to open another passage and go forward in a roundabout way. The ascending passage led to a large corridor with holes of unknown purpose at equal intervals on both sides of the corridor.

The long corridor leads to the lounge, where there is a rockfall device, pull it apart, and it is the royal family.

Above the royal family is a five-story house called the “weight room”. There is also a “descending passage” in the tower with the same **** as the ascending passage. After it descends approximately 97 meters, it becomes horizontal and reaches the basement. This is an unfinished room, located 30 meters underground, approximately directly below the top of the pyramid.

These were originally well-documented information, but now with Charlotte's interpretation, these have become fabricated products and are part of the great scam of the century.

Yang Cheng doesn’t know who to believe. He has been to Egypt and seen the pyramids, but he has never touched the materials that are said to be natural stones. But now, those polar bear experts prove that the stones are concrete structures, not pure. natural.

The views of the two sides are opposed, and whoever wants to beat the other lacks some decisive evidence.

However, Yang Cheng is still inclined to his own judgment. He still knows a little bit about the urinary **** of polar bears. In order to rewrite the history of Europe, polar bears have done a lot of absurd things. It does not seem to be a big problem.

As for Charlotte’s words, he didn’t take it seriously. If Charlotte was an expert in ancient Egyptian civilization, then his words would still have some credibility, but he was just an antique dealer. No one believes his judgment.

The point is that this is not clear at all, so just don't say it. Yang Cheng said to Arthur, "Mr. Williams' collection, can I look at it?"

Williams was already prepared, and took out the Williams collection from the vault. These are two pairs of statues.

Arthur pointed to a pair of bronze statues and said, "This is a two-person standing statue of a pharaoh, a koala and a princess during the Fourth Dynasty of the Ancient Kingdom."

The statue is a bit old. The king and his wife are standing side by side. They both take a half step forward with their left foot, but there is no movement. The center of gravity of the whole body still falls on both feet. This seems to be a characteristic of Egyptian sculpture. It has shown that the body weight is placed on one leg while the other leg is gently off the ground. This standing posture enhances the sense of stability and stability.

The king's arms are vertical, and both hands are clenched to show the concentration of strength; the princess's left hand is bent on the king's left arm, and the right arm is hugging the king's waist. This is the standard format for Egyptian couples.

Although the standing posture is a bit dull, the smiling faces of the characters are still vivid.

The sculptor made different contrast treatments on the male and female bodies, portraying the soft and undulating curves and graceful body shapes of women through thin, tight-fitting long clothes, while the king's body shape was strong and rigid.

When Yang Cheng was about to see it, Arthur introduced another pair of colored statues, which looked like plaster, but should be colored wood. "This is a statue of La Suhhotep and his wife.

La Suhotep was a prince of the Fourth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The seated statues of him and his wife Novoret epitomize the rule of the Egyptian royal family: the figure sits in front of his breasts, his legs are aligned, the man's right hand is across his chest, and his left hand is placed. On her knees; the woman protects the chest with both hands, her face is calm and serious, without character portrayal or emotional expression. "

Yang Cheng remembered the statues he had seen before and couldn't help but nodded. The statues in the ancient Egyptian kingdom were often like this.

The prince is naked except for shorts, with broad shoulders and thick chest, strong muscles, containing the power to conquer everything. His skin is brownish-red. It may be because men often go on expeditions and are exposed to the sun and rain, while the female statues are pale yellow. Delicate and white, this is due to the long-term boudoir life.

The two statues have different aesthetic feelings. The prince has strong bodybuilding, and his wife mainly shows pure and feminine beauty. The delicate face is lined with thick short hair on both sides, and he is wearing a white jumpsuit and long skirt, just like Cao Yi Chushui~www.novelhall.com ~ Reveals a plump and round body, with a double peaks in front of the crisp, the whole body shape is full of symmetrical and balanced beauty.

From the perspective of modern art, the carving language of ancient Egypt is extremely concise, with rigid and soft changes in the generalization, which fully expresses the aesthetic characteristics of the ancient kingdom period.

The statues of pharaohs and princes and nobles in Egyptian portrait carving strictly follow the "frontal law" formula according to religious rules, so the posture and expression of such statues are more rigid and rigid, and their divinity is more than human.

However, the statues of people with low status are rarely limited by this formula, and emphasize the realism of life forms. Most of these people are buried as figurines.

Looking back, Yang Cheng asked, "Where did the two pairs of statues come from?"

Arthur shook his head. "Uncle didn't talk about it, but I have the impression that I saw these two pairs of statues in his study when I was very young."

Regarding the authenticity of this pair of collections, Yang Cheng has no way of distinguishing. After all, he is not a professional, but with Jim Williams' character, he would definitely not put a pair of fake antiques under his nose?
