v8 Chapter 51： Out of Egypt (2)

"Adult, look at it!" the captain shouted in surprise.

It turned out that an Egyptian herder was driving a group of cattle to graze on the shore of the beach, but did not want to lurk a crocodile there, almost biting the calf. The herders panicked and tried to drive away the crocodile, only to find that the crocodile was not big, so he wanted to hunt it. He drove his hound to harass the crocodile, preventing it from escaping back into the river while holding the wood. Great, start attacking with care...

This thrilling scene soon attracted the papyrus and the neighboring farmers who passed by. They held the pickaxe to watch the fun, and others shouted: "Hey, do you need me to help?! But kill Score me a little after the crocodile!"

In the busy and boring work, it is rare for the farmers to have this moment of leisure...

At noon, Ansitanos approached a city, Nowcrates.

This is an Egyptian town very much associated with the Greeks.

More than 200 years ago, with the full support of the Greek mercenaries from Ionia and Kalia, the Egyptians overthrew the rule of Assyria and gained independence. Pharaoh Pusa Meticus accepted these Greeks who made meritorious deeds and built the Daphne Castle in the eastern part of the Nile Delta to allow Greek soldiers to live. He also issued an order to open the Egyptian trade and allow Greece. People live permanently in Egypt.

As a result, the Milli people built a cargo and workshop on the banks of the Carobic River. With the constant arrival of the Greeks, a Greek town was gradually built around this workshop area, named Nakratis (and the Queen of the Sea).

For a long time, this colonial city has become a port shared by all Greek merchants, even under the current Persian rule, before Alci Bidas traded here.

Seeing the people in the port area of ​​the city wearing familiar Greek costumes makes Ansitanos feel very cordial, but his boat will not stay here, but continue to move forward.

Finally at dusk, the ship passed through the Nile Delta and entered the wider Nile River. At this time, the sky was dark, the captain was unfamiliar with the river, and did not dare to move forward. He could only park on the shore and hire a trackman on the shore.

Ansitanos and his subordinates spent the night on the boat, listening to the sound of the Nile River, and the strange sounds of animals on the shore or in the river, which is a peculiar experience for young people. For Ansitas, who is already in his 50s, it is a big torture. In particular, the bite of the mosquito made him suffer some bitterness. He went to sleep late at night because of exhaustion.

The next day, he barely got up and continued to move forward.

A few hours later, the ship passed through the ancient town of Giza.

When Ancitanus looked at the West Bank and faintly saw the outlines of the tall pyramids on the Giza Plateau, his spirit was finally invigorated.

At noon, the passenger ship finally entered Memphis, the capital of Egypt.

More boats are on the Nile near Memphis, but rare papyrus boats are rare, but more narrow and narrow, two pointed, with a canopy in the middle, with many paddlers, the captain from a few meters to Wooden boats of tens of meters, of course, large and large passenger ships are occasionally visible.

On the boat, Ansitanos marveled at the tall outer wall of Memphis. It was nearly 15 meters high and almost invisible to the city outside the city, except for the towering obelisk and the palace in the middle of the city.

As the Pharaoh got a message from the Karabik River whistle card in advance, the Dionia passenger ship was allowed to enter the dock of the inner city.

This is a good sign! Ansitanos thought.

Ancitanos landed on the dock and there was a carriage waiting on the shore.

After getting on the carriage, under the driver's control, the carriage galloped toward the palace.

The inner city is a gathering place for prominent Egyptian officials, high priests of various temples, wealthy aristocrats and royal members, so you can see magnificent temples, luxurious bureaucrats and mansions next to each other. The grandeur and luxury of the ancient capital.

The carriage travels on a wide and straight avenue. According to the observations of Ansitanos, the width of the avenue is enough for more than a dozen carriages to drive side by side, and at the end of the boulevard, a towering wall is in front of you, that is, the Egyptian royal palace.

As he passed through the majestic city gate, Ansitanos roughly estimated that the wall was more than ten meters thick, showing Pharaoh's concern for his own safety.

As far as the carriage is concerned, you can see dozens of towering golden statues standing on either side of the avenue. Each of them is about 20 meters high. Although they are human bodies, they are attached to the heads of animals. Ansitanos knew that these statues should be gods honored by the Egyptians.

At the end of these giant statues, a magnificent and magnificent palace towered, letting the horse-drawn carriage and the Ansita Noston standing in front of the steps feel their own smallness.

There are a huge white sheep statue on the two sides of the main entrance of the palace. They are lying on their backs, looking at the visitors outside the palace with their eyes wide open, making the center of Egypt less solemn and mysterious. At the same time, it is a bit more elegant and peaceful.

A bureaucrat took a team of mighty guards and took a steady step and stepped down the stairs: "The messenger from the Kingdom of Dionia, the great pharaoh is waiting in the main hall, please follow me to see you!"

Ansitanos succumbs to the ceremony and opens his hands to let the guards check if they carry any weapons.

Ansitanos stepped up the stairs and walked through the huge pillar that had to be held by three or four people.

The extremely flat walls are made of smooth plaster and painted with colorful flowers and plants. On the smooth marble floor, the lotus plants, birds and animals are vividly painted. The fresh nature; together with the various and unique gold and silver objects in the temple, the whole hall looks beautiful.

Pharaoh Nektanib sorghum throne.

The general-born pharaoh grew tall and strong, and his skin was dark. He usually liked the red-striped Nemes headscarf, which symbolizes Pharaoh's identity. It is simple and elegant. However, he obviously valued this interview very much, so he brought the most orthodox red and white crown symbolizing the two powers. The Eurasian (a cobra of Egypt) made of gold was decorated on his forehead. At the same time he is wearing a fake beard and holding the right hand on the right.

Sitting on the left hand side of the queen, the gold-built geese-shaped crown was lightly buckled on her head, and the open wings pressed down her straight black hair, leaving her long hair hanging on her chest. With a precious chest and a gorgeous dress, she looks graceful.

Although Ansitanos learned through information that women in Egypt have a higher social status, especially the queen, and even participate in state affairs. But the first time I saw a woman in a major national situation, I still feel a little surprised. He did not know that it was because the queen was not royal blood. Pharaoh Nektanib made her appear frequently in state affairs to improve her status and stabilize her family and family.

There were many ministers and generals standing on either side of the main hall, and they all looked at Ansitanos who walked into the hall with curiosity.

Ansitano was calmly standing in front of the throne and respectfully finished the ceremony. As a Greek scholar, to study the historical materials of various places, Ansitanos specially purchased Egyptian slaves when he was young, and studied Egyptian words and language earnestly. At this moment, he said in standard Egyptian language: "The noble Lord of Egypt, I brought a friendly greeting from King Daves of the Kingdom of Dionia, and at the same time offered a generous gift to express his sincere congratulations! Congratulations on being loved by Amon and becoming the master of Egypt!"

As soon as the words of Ansitanos were finished, the minister closest to Pharaoh came to the front and said a few words to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh Nektanib heard that the gifts from Dionya were a lot of spears, swords, shields, armor, and even a few three-layer paddle boats docked in the estuary... Satisfied: There is no shortage of food in Egypt. There is no shortage of gold and silver jewellery. What is lacking is more sophisticated weapons and soldiers.

Therefore, his face also has a smile: "Thank you very much for the sincere blessings and generous gifts from King Daves from the West! Although Egypt is far away from Diaonia, I have heard the Kingdom of Dionia many times. The name of the prestige and the heroicness of King Davers can get the greetings of the king who is also the noble blood of the gods (the Egyptians think that Pharaoh is the embodiment of God, and Pharaoh often publicly declares that he is the son of God), which makes me very happy! Warmly welcome your visit Daonia's messenger!"

Pharaoh Nektanib stood up and extended his left hand to make a welcome gesture.

What he said is not a guest, it is indeed a little understanding of the Kingdom of Dionia. Although in the cities and countries of the Mediterranean coast, the Egyptians are the most closed and old-fashioned, they prefer to work on the land instead of traveling by boat, so today, many Egyptian bureaucrats may not know that there is one more in the Mediterranean. kingdom. But Pharaoh Nektanib is different. Before he became Pharaoh, he stayed in the town of Sayes for many years. Sayes City is not far from the city of Nowkratis, so he heard a lot of trade in Naurus. The Greek businessman circulated a magical rumor about the Kingdom of Dionia.

"Prestige Pharaoh!" Ansitanos took over the words of Nektanib and continued: "Diaonia and Egypt are far apart, but because of this, there has never been any between the two countries. Conflicts of interest, on the other hand, can make up for each other's shortcomings, so King Duffus hopes that Dionia will be able to establish more friendly exchanges with the country you practise Pharaoh!"
