Chapter 2898： Egyptian pharaoh a blessing in disguise

Before I knew it, it was noon, and it was lunch time.

In order to save time for the visit, Ye Tian did not leave the Egyptian National Museum for lunch, but bought some fast food in the dining area inside the museum and dealt with it casually.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Nan and Lin Yu also learned the same way and stayed in the museum.

After a non-stop tour of the whole morning, the two guys are a little tired, the main reason is that their heads are stuffed with a lot of historical knowledge about ancient Egypt, and their brains are a little bit painful.

With the opportunity of having lunch, they just took a break and regained their physical strength and spirit.

After lunch, he took a break in the public dining area and chatted for a few words. Ye Tian took the two guys to the second floor of the Egyptian National Museum to continue the tour.

The numerous antique cultural relics and artworks displayed on the second floor of the Egyptian National Museum are the essence of this world's top museum, and many of them are top-notch antique cultural relics and artworks of priceless value.

The antique cultural relics and works of art here are exhibited based on themes. Among the many exhibition halls, the Tutankhamun exhibition hall is the most famous and the most eye-catching!

Every tourist who comes to visit the National Museum of Egypt will not miss this exhibition hall and the many priceless treasures displayed in this exhibition hall!

Ye Tian and the others did the same. The first time they came to the second floor of the museum, they walked straight to the Tutankhamun exhibition hall.

There are not a few tourists who have the same idea as them!

Many tourists from all over the world, like the tide, constantly pouring into the second floor from the stairs, and then rushing in the same direction like the tide, the scene is quite spectacular!

Ye Tian and the others, who were mixed in the crowd, quickly entered the Tutankhamun exhibition hall, or they were pushed into this famous exhibition hall by the tide of people.

As soon as they walked into this famous exhibition hall, Ye Tian and the others were immediately stunned by the picture in front of them, and they froze in place, staring at everything in this exhibition hall with rounded eyes.

Not only them, but every visitor who entered this exhibition hall for the first time had the same performance, with a jaw-dropping expression of shock.

Only those tourists who have visited here many times performed slightly better, but not much better.

This is a magnificent exhibition hall, which displays countless dazzling gold products, the quantity is extremely large, and each gold product is exquisite and breathtaking.

Without exception, these ancient and exquisite gold products are all from the tomb of Tutankhamun. Many of them are top-notch antique cultural relics of invaluable value, and there are no shortage of supreme treasures of the town hall's treasure level.

In the early 1920s, a British archaeologist discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor. The young ancient Egyptian pharaoh died young and died less than nineteen. .

According to ancient Egyptian practice, Tutankhamun after his death was made into a mummy, and he was buried in an exquisite and precious coffin. After a grand funeral ceremony, he was buried in the tomb.

However, because Tutankhamun died too early and it was not the time, his pyramid had not been built yet, and his pyramid was favored by a later prime minister, and a dove came directly to occupy the magpie's nest!

The result of this is that Tutankhamun was not buried in his own pyramid, but buried in a small place, which was later covered by other tombs!

The seemingly tragic fate of Tutankhamun, but a blessing in disguise, his mausoleum has been completely out of sight of the world, preserved intact, and has never been stolen!

It can be said that the mausoleum of this young pharaoh is the smallest and most inconspicuous in the Valley of the Kings of Luxor in Upper Egypt, but the funerary in this mausoleum is the richest and most valuable of all Egyptian pharaohs’ tombs. of.

And this is the only pharaoh's tomb that has not been stolen in Egypt for more than 3,300 years and is the most intactly preserved. It is also the most luxurious tomb ever discovered in Egypt.

In the tomb of Tutankhamun, people have found more than 10,000 burial objects, many of which are valuable and top antique cultural relics.

Most of these top antique relics from Tutankhamun’s tomb are all kinds of exquisite and unusual gold products, the most famous of which are the famous Tutankhamun’s golden mask and gold museum.

In addition, there are many golden dolls, various golden animal statues, various artifacts covered with gold and gems, such as the golden seat of Tutankhamun, etc., as well as some other top antique relics with glittering gold. .

The discovery of Tutankhamun’s mausoleum caused a sensation in the world at that time. Because of the large number and high value of the funerary objects, this pharaoh’s tomb was ranked first among the top ten treasures in the world.

This archaeological discovery that shocked the world has also become one of the greatest discoveries in the history of Egyptian archaeology, and even in the history of world archaeology.

The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb can even be regarded as a huge shock to modern civilization by ancient civilization thousands of years ago, and it is nothing to say that it is a mockery!

Compared with the extremely luxurious mausoleums and the astonishing amount and priceless funerary objects, Tutankhamun, the young ancient Egyptian pharaoh, had a lacklustre life and no merits worthy of praise.

The British archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb, Howard Carter, once said with emotion, ‘Tutankhamun’s most outstanding contribution in his life is that he died and was well buried’.

Not only Howard Carter, but any tourists, historians, and archaeologists who walked into the Tutankhamun exhibition hall and saw the interior of the exhibition hall would have such feelings!

Ye Tian, ​​who was shocked by the scene before him, soon woke up.

Next, he quickly glanced at this magnificent huge exhibition hall, and in a blink of an eye he had a general understanding of the situation here.

In addition to numerous top antique relics and artworks from Tutankhamun’s tomb and priceless, he also saw many familiar faces in this exhibition hall.

Among them are employees of their own company, historians, archaeologists, and ancient writing experts from Harvard University and Columbia University, as well as the guy David.

There are also many joint exploration team members from Israel and the Vatican, as well as many experts and scholars. Joshua and the Bishop of Kent are also in the crowd.

In addition, many experts and scholars from the Egyptian Ministry of Culture and the National Museum, as well as several other famous museums and universities in Egypt, are also present in this exhibition hall.

These guys gathered in groups in front of the bulletproof glass showcases, admiring and studying the antique cultural relics displayed in those showcases, and were discussing them in full swing.

Around and behind them, many tourists gathered, visiting and listening to the discussion of these guys with great interest.

Obviously, visitors to this exhibition hall know that these guys standing in front of the showcase are professionals, even the top historians and archaeologists!

It is extremely rare to hear this level of professional discussion in the Tutankhamun exhibition hall, and naturally no one wants to miss it!

With the exception of Ye Tian, ​​he didn't want to get too close to these guys, especially his employees. If he was accidentally recognized by that person, it wouldn't be too fun!

While Ye Tian looked at these guys, David, who was standing in front of a bullet-proof glass showcase, happened to also spot him when he turned his head and looked away.

Of course David knew what Ye Tian looked like in disguise, but this guy was quite calm, just nodded lightly at him, then looked away and looked away.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Tian's mouth, and it was fleeting, then he stretched his hand to a showcase next to him, and said with a smile:

"Zhao Nan, UU reading Lin Yu, let's start from this showcase. One point must be reminded. There are some places in the Tutankhamun exhibition hall that cannot be photographed. Please pay attention to this."

With that, he walked over to the bulletproof glass showcase a few meters away.

"I see, Brother Chen, we will pay attention, you can rest assured"

Zhao Nan nodded in response, and immediately followed with his girlfriend, both of them were in high spirits.

Within a few steps, the three of them came to the target showcase.

There are not too many people gathered in front of this showcase. The most important thing is that there are no tripartite joint exploration team members and familiar experts and scholars, which makes people feel more at ease!

When he arrived here, Ye Tian looked at the antique cultural relics displayed in the showcase.

These are several golden animal statues. The first is the golden cobra statue symbolizing the ruler of Lower Egypt, shining brightly under the light.
