Chapter 209 4000 Years
"Is there a bet?" Tony asked with great interest.

"A wine glass." Xia Ya said, "That's a good thing."

"It sounds good." Tony said, the wine glass of Dionysus sounded unusual.

Xia raised his head and looked at Galante, "Are you doing tomb robbery now?"

"Exploration." Galante emphasized.

Shaar nodded, every European tomb robber in this period said he was an explorer.

"I want to trace the footprints of civilization. The existence of that pyramid must have been a long time ago." Galante said.

Xiaya smiled, silently picked up the roselle tea in front of him and took a sip.

"What you are going to explore is the Pyramid of Khufu, right?"

"Huff?"

In this era, the research on the pyramid has obviously not yet started, and only tomb robbers go in, and those tomb robbers are obviously only interested in the treasure inside, as for who the owner is inside, no one cares.

Not to mention studying this civilization, it would be nice not to destroy those precious murals.

"It's the biggest pyramid." Shaar said.

Gallant came back to his senses and nodded.

After a pause, he seemed to realize something, and asked, "Do you know the owner of that pyramid?"

"It depends on how you define acquaintance." Shaar said, "I haven't met him, but I know his name. His name is Hunihufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty of Egypt. The Greeks called him Qi. Apps."

Galante nodded, "People here don't know the origin of these pyramids at all.

There are very few records of it here in Europe either. "

The ancient Egyptians never thought of writing a chronicle, recording everything that happened in detail.Although they had written words a long time ago.Their history is written in murals, reliefs or tomb walls, scattered and scattered.

Therefore, the study of Egyptian civilization can only be found from these murals.

But in a sense, the ancient Egyptians were also the first nation to write history.

The work of studying the history of ancient Egypt actually started as early as 300 BC.

At that time, Alexander the Great had just passed away, and during the reign of the first and second kings of the Ptolemy Dynasty, an Egyptian priest named Maneso wrote a 30-volume Egyptian history book in Greek, which can be directly called "" History of Egypt, or The Annals of Egypt.

With the help of some papyrus documents and some sporadic records, he divided all the pharaohs he knew into 30 dynasties, and this division method has been used to this day.

It is a pity that this book was burned when Julius Caesar conquered Egypt, and only some sporadic contents survived.

For Europeans who believe in Christianity, the names of places and people in ancient Egypt are not unfamiliar. After all, they have appeared in the Bible.

But that's about it.

Europeans' understanding of Egypt at that time probably came from the records of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

For the more Arabs in Egypt, and the occasional Europeans who came here, the ruins in front of them mean nothing.

In another world, it was Napoleon who really started to study Egyptian civilization on a large scale.

When he went to Egypt, he brought more than 300 warships and nearly 4 troops.

There are also more than 200 people including astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, mineralogists, orientalists, technicians, painters, poets, and writers from the French Academy of Sciences.

Many amazing discoveries in the history of Egyptian archaeology occurred after Napoleon's expedition to Egypt.

Among these was an aristocratic artist named Dominique Vivan Denon, who had been recommended by Napoleon's beautiful wife, Josephine, to produce the illustrations.From the moment he entered Egypt, he was deeply infatuated with everything here.

Although he knew nothing about everything contained in Egyptian culture, he drew everything he saw with his keen observation and skillful pen.The countless exquisite drawings he brought back to France provided extremely precious materials for archaeologists to study Egypt.

The world's first famous book on Egyptian archaeology, "Egyptian Chronicles", written by Ruoma, is a systematic scientific work written based on these sketches.

In addition, Napoleon's literati discovered and brought back to France the famous Rosetta stele engraved with three different characters, which became the key to solving many Egyptian mysteries later.

This is another positive achievement for him after the Napoleonic Code.

However, this cannot conceal the fact that he looted many cultural relics from the land of Egypt.

Obviously, Napoleon may not exist in this world...

"These buildings should not have been built by these people," Galante said.

"It was established by their ancestors." Shaar said with emotion, "Unfortunately, after being conquered by outsiders again and again for more than 1000 years, this civilization has already forgotten its past."

"More than 1000 years?" Galante opened his eyes slightly, "Doesn't that mean that the cemetery must be more than 1000 years ago?"

"If you're talking about the Pyramid of Khufu, it's now."

Xia recalled a little, "It should be more than 300 years."

"How much!?"

Gallant's face showed a little horror, which is obviously an unattainable number for him who is only in his 30s.

Strictly speaking, his country, West France, only lasted for more than 1000 years. During this period, the rulers of many dynasties have changed.

More than 4000 years is a year long enough to turn the sea into mulberry fields and mountains into rivers.

The colleagues behind him also opened their eyes wide when they heard this.

"It's been a long time, isn't it?"

Shaar smiled, and continued to raise the tea in his hand to take a sip.

"It should be hard for you people today to imagine how people more than 4000 years ago built such a behemoth."

"Even now it's very difficult to do." Tony commented, "To build such a pyramid, the manpower and material resources required are enough to bring down a small country."

"But there's more than one building like that on the land," Alicia said.

When Galante came back to his senses, he couldn't help imagining what a glorious scene that civilization was more than 4000 years ago.

Regarding those pyramids, he could find very few records in Europe. The only book that knows the most about this place is the Bible, but the Bible tells fairy tales, and the time described in it is different from the current chronological method.

Of course, if you spend your time looking for the records left by ancient Greece and Rome, you should still be able to find some information.

At least they should not be ignorant of the long history of this ancient Egyptian civilization.

But Galante didn't come to explore civilization, but to explore mystery, so he naturally wouldn't waste time.

After a pause, Galante came back to his senses and looked at Shaar.

The tone of this mysterious existence just now was very firm...

Gallant is clearly unaware of the many high-tech technologies that will be used to judge the vintage in the future.

For example, measuring carbon 60000, in theory, as long as it is a living thing with a history of less than 14 years, carbon [-] can be used to measure the approximate age.

Stone cannot be dated with carbon 14, but wood can.

So after Khufu's solar ship was discovered, the identification became very simple.In addition, in the pyramid labor tomb, there are also a large number of relics and mummies that can determine the age, and there are even some written records.

However, Galante obviously didn't know this. In his opinion, Shaar's determination was as if he had seen that era with his own eyes.
He swallowed lightly.

Witness an era more than 4000 years ago
