Chapter 2900： Bloody family tragedy

Different from the one-layer human-shaped wooden coffin and two-layer human-shaped wooden coffin covered with gold leaf before, the three-layer human-shaped coffin used to hold the Tutankhamun mummies, that is, the innermost human-shaped coffin, is entirely used Made of gold.

This golden human-shaped coffin is about 187 cm long and weighs about 111 kg. The whole body is made of a whole piece of gold plate about 3 cm thick. It is inlaid with a lot of sapphires and colored glaze. It can be said to be brilliant and radiant!

Like the other two human-shaped coffins, the image of the pharaoh on this golden human-shaped coffin is also sculpted in strict accordance with the rules of the "frontal law" of ancient Egypt.

The so-called positive law is a rule of ancient Egyptian sculpture and painting art, and it is also the most important principle, especially when shaping the image of the pharaoh, it must be strictly followed.

The specific meaning is that when the characters are represented, the side of the head, the front of the eyes, the front of the shoulders and the front of the body, and the side below the waist, the screen is divided into the structure with horizontal lines, the characters are arranged in an orderly manner, and even animals appear in rows.

The use of the above expression techniques to process the image of the character is to make the image characteristics of the person more prominent and complete. This is also the embodiment of the integrity of Egyptian sculpture and painting.

The pharaoh image of this golden humanoid coffin is also the Pluto Osiris. He holds a scepter symbolizing the supremacy of the sovereign in his left hand, a flail in his right hand, and crosses his hands in front of his chest.

Two jewel badges are engraved on its forehead, namely the snake **** symbolizing the patron saint of Lower Egypt and the eagle **** symbolizing the patron saint of Upper Egypt.

The Nemel scarf used to wrap the head and neck and the columnar beard representing the sacred are all made of gold and enamel. They are extremely delicate and dazzling.

On the pharaoh's legs, there are carved reliefs of the goddess Isis and the goddess Nefertis to protect the dead pharaoh.

In the center and edges of this golden human-shaped coffin, there are many ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and exquisite patterns, many of which are extremely vicious curses, used to protect the Tutankhamun mummies in the coffin.

Under the illumination of the light, this golden human-shaped coffin radiated brilliant light, extremely dazzling, and even reflected the magnificence of the area where the bulletproof glass showcase was located!

Looking at this golden human-shaped coffin, everyone including Ye Tian was completely shocked by it. Everyone was dumbfounded, and some guys covered their mouths and exclaimed in low voice.

Zhao Nan and Lin Yu were the same, exclaiming directly.

"I'm going! This is too extravagant, 111 kilograms of gold coffin, what does it feel like to lie in it?"

Ye Tian laughed directly when he heard Zhao Nan's words.

"Hahaha"

With his laughter, the rest of the tourists on the scene all came to a sense of consciousness and looked at him one after another.

Several of the tripartite joint exploration team members and archaeologists from Israel quickly flashed a surprise in their eyes, then shook their heads again and looked at Tutankhamun's golden human-shaped coffin again.

Obviously, they heard Ye Tian's laughter a bit familiar and familiar, but when they saw Ye Tian's face, they were very strange and thought they had heard it wrong!

When the laughter fell, Ye Tian whispered in plain Mandarin:

"This is indeed very luxurious. Tutankhamun's golden human-shaped coffin is one of the greatest and most exquisite gold products ever discovered in the world, and it is a veritable priceless treasure.

Through this golden human-shaped coffin, you can see the general situation of ancient Egypt in the eighteen dynasties. At that time, the economy was developed and the arts were prosperous. It was the most powerful dynasty in ancient Egyptian history.

At that time, ancient Egyptian art was very developed in gold and silver inlay craftsmanship and mask craftsmanship, reaching the point where modern people are dumbfounded. This human-shaped golden coffin is the evidence.

As for what it feels like to lie in this human-shaped golden coffin, only Tutankhamun knows it. Maybe when Tutankhamun is really resurrected, it will be possible to tell you this feeling! "

Before he could say anything, Zhao Nan waved his hand in a hurry and said hurriedly:

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to a mummy that has been dead for more than three thousand years, even if he is a resurrected ancient Egyptian pharaoh, that's really scary!"

Seeing this guy's performance, Ye Tian and Lin Yu laughed again.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu pointed to the statues of Isis and Nefertis engraved on the legs of the human-shaped golden coffin and asked:

"Who are these two goddesses? Why are they engraved here? Do you have any special intentions?"

Following the direction of her finger, Ye Tian looked at the two goddess statues, and then explained:

"That is Isis, the goddess of life in ancient Egyptian mythology, and Nefertis, the patron of houses and the dead. They are the two fourth-generation gods in the ancient Egyptian mythology system. The other two fourth-generation gods are Osiris and Sai. special.

These four ancient Egyptian gods were brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, and when they grew up, they formed two couples. The eldest son Osiris and the eldest daughter Isis are a couple, and the second son Seth and the second daughter Nefertis. It's a couple! "

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Nan exclaimed in a low voice.

"Isn't he getting married with close relatives, or lunatics? The ancient Egyptians really know how to play!"

"Hahaha"

Ye Tian laughed directly, Lin Yu's pretty face turned red in an instant, and he stretched out his hand and punched Zhao Nan twice, complaining.

When the laughter fell, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Where is this! What's more exciting is yet to come. In fact, the tradition of marriage of close relatives of these ancient Egyptian gods began with the first generation of gods, the sun **** Ra!

Rashen has a pair of children, two second-generation gods, Shu and Tefnut, and they became a couple. This tradition has continued since then, and each generation of gods is a close relative marriage!

The impact of this move on later generations is that, in order to maintain the divinity and purity of their blood, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs have always married direct relatives of the royal family. This is a typical mythological influence on history.

Speaking of this golden coffin, Isis and Nefertis are both Osiris's own sisters, and Isis is Osiris' wife, who gave birth to the **** of vengeance Horus!

Nefertis is Set's wife, and Set is Osiris' younger brother. At a family banquet, the drunk Osiris had an affair with Nefertis and gave birth to Anubis, the **** of death!

One of the reasons why Seth killed Osiris was that Osiris and Nefertis had an affair. Whether it was in China or in ancient Egypt, it seemed that men could not stand being humiliated by the green!

Later, Anubis and Isis jointly resurrected Osiris, and when Horus, the **** of vengeance, grew up, he killed his uncle, Seth, to avenge his father!

It can be said that this is a **** family ethics tragedy, or it can be said to be a chaotic tragedy! This is why the tradition of intermarriage among the pharaohs of ancient Egypt came from!

This bad habit of intermarriage between close relatives has caused many Egyptian pharaohs to have one or another problem, such as physical deformity, mental retardation, etc., and Tutankhamun's early death may be related to this!

It is precisely because of the close relationship between Isis and Nefertis and Osiris, they are the goddess of life and the patron saint of the dead, so they were carved on the legs of the statue of Osiris! "

"I'll go! This is too messy! Who dares to imagine such a relationship, it is simply a history of chaos!"

Zhao Nan exclaimed again with an exaggerated expression.

"Hahaha"

Ye Tian smiled directly, and Lin Yu also blushed and smiled a few times.

Because other people at the scene couldn't understand Chinese, they naturally didn't know what they were talking about and why they laughed.

Those tripartite joint exploratory team members and experts and scholars from Israel, also because they couldn't understand Chinese, didn't doubt Ye Tian again.

The Chinese tourists who were also on the scene understood, and laughed in a low voice, because they were all traveling in a group with a tour guide, so they didn't come up to talk with Ye Tian and the others.

Next Ye Tian continued to visit and appreciate this dazzling golden human-shaped coffin, and introduced Zhao Nan and others to the other stories hidden behind this golden coffin and the process of discovery.

During this period, he secretly looked through this golden human-shaped coffin of Tutankhamun completely, and did not let a corner go!

As a coffin for Tutankhamun's mummies, the lifelessness condensed on this golden humanoid coffin is extremely strong, almost substantial, and far surpasses other funerary objects in this exhibition hall.

In comparison, there are only the four alabaster jars containing Tutankhamun's internal organs, and other antique relics are far from each other.

Inside and outside this golden human-shaped coffin, Ye Tian did not find any unknown secrets, such as the hidden mezzanine.

This is also normal. Since Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in the early 1920s, Tutankhamun’s golden mask and golden coffin are the two most studied antique artifacts.

For more than one hundred years, these two priceless treasures have been studied thoroughly by experts and scholars from all walks of life. Where are there any secrets that are unknown!
